I wasn’t left very much impressed by Beastie Boys’ last album, the all instrumental The Mix-up. Sure, it had some really nice beats, on which you could easily groove to, but at the same time it kinda felt a bit repetitive. My more or less disappointment was caused, however, by the sentiment of loathing for more of the same material present on Beastie Boys’ extraordinary 2004 effort, To The 5 Borrows – a truly memorable…
My room mate is a huge South Park fan, and ever since I moved in with him a few months ago, I kinda got SP evangelized, seeing how I’ve managed to watch all the series so far and I don’t ever miss any episode. Gotta say, when I watched the latest SP episode a few days ago, I nearly wet my pants from all the laughter! The episode was centered around a gay fish joke…
Well, according to the man himself, he has it all figured out, which is why he’s setting the studio on fire. Bad news is this means he’ll delay his tour in order to finish the follow up to 2007’s double-platinum album “Rock N Roll Jesus.” “I really feel like I’ve kind of got this figured out,” the rapper and singer-songwriter tells Billboard. “I think I can make an equally good record, if not better than…
Academy award winning pics and successful movies in general have almost always been followed by spoofs, either under the form of a movie, a TV show or …erhh music! Snoop Dogg’s latest track is a collaboration with Tanvi Shah, one of the featured artists on the Slum Dog Millionaire soundtrack, called “Snoop Dogg Millionaire”, an interesting hip-hop spin off. The single does well in mixing hardcore beats with oriental harmonies, as Snoop raps on about…
A while ago, we told you about how Eminem will release 2 albums, and guess what. Now, 50 Puppy Dogg cent is doing the same thing, only according to him, it’s not the same thing. Whatever, idiots and 10 year old aside, I’m sure we can all draw the conclusions here. His first album ‘Before I Self Destruct’ was due for December, but it seems it will be released in June, and it will be…
The rapper came out and said that he will release more than 1 (and less than 3 for that matter) album this year, making a comeback to “Relapse”. It’s been quite a while since his latest album, but I’m not in the mood for counting years. So according to him, his comeback record ‘Relapse’ will be a double header and the first LP is set for May 17. The second, which will beentitled ‘Relapse 2’,…
Kanye’s new video for “Welcome to Heartbreak”, off the magnetic “808s and Heartbreak”, is quite the spectacle for eyes. What makes it really interesting is the strange depixelation technique, very common in low quality .avi movies. Sadly, though, it seems there was an indie video which sparked terrible resemblance to the one from bellow, released one week ago. Consequently, Kanye’s ego took over and decided to have the video taken down, as hear on Kanye’s…
Chris Cornell certainly has plenty to be screaming about today – his upcoming, Timbaland-produced record leaked yesterday, giving the entire internet a chance to experience the end product of this unusual and much-maligned collaboration. In a completely unrelated turn of events, we can offer a preview of some tracks you might not have heard previously. We all know Long Gone, Ground Zero and Part of Me were breaking new ground for Cornell, even if they…
The video just premiered yesterday, featuring the N.A.S.A together with KRS-One, Fat Lip and Slim Kid Tre in their low quality animated selves, rapping and tripping about. As for the song itself, suggestively dubbed “Hip-Hop,” it’s one hell of a ride! It’s fresh, up beat and fun. N.A.S.A. latest release, “The Spirit of Appolo,” is out Feb. 17. Also check out the following, equally insane, MP3: N.A.S.A & Kanye West & Santogold & Lykke Li…
Yup, here’s another Eminem leak from his upcoming new album “Relapse”, going by the name of ‘Crack a Bottle.’ This time, however, Slim is joined by Fithy’ and the good Dr. Dre on rap duties, as a catchy, almost hypnotizing bass background rolls in and loops and loops. Surprisingly or not, it’s not at all boring, quite interesting. Dr. Dre’s production work shine’s through out the track, though, kinda saving Eminem’s juvenile Solja Boy lyrics…
