Wale comes very correct with this new track, addressing the love he’s been receiving OUTSIDE of the DMV and the hate within. He also touches on the Marky “situation”, which if it wasn’t dead before, it definitely is now.

The fine people over at Funkadelic Freestyles did another solid interview last night, this time with Mr. “Putyourhandinmypocketandyou’llfeelcockytoo”. GW what up!

Its been a while since zefrank stopped putting out episodes consistently, which used to be one of my favorite things to keep updated on my ipod. It’d been a while and I had started to forget about the show, until DrSpaceMan brought it up again a bit ago, so I started going through old episodes again. Man, thank God I did. The whole past two weeks have been not-so-great ones with people flinging things left and right, but when its been at its worst I’ve been humming this tune non-stop. Ray (the minister

Good track. Good video. Shouts to Lyriciss for sending it through. Be on the lookout for the in-depth interview we had with “The Hope”, hopefully posted very pronto.

I was on 7th, walking out of the the Verizon Center Chipotle where I had just bought a steak quesadilla (and got a ton of snickers from the people working there cause it was so small. whatever, size doesn’t matter) when I heard drumbeats from down the street. DC’s heartbeat. It was loud enough to hear all up and down 7th and F, and as I got closer I found out it was this good sir playing his set. I stuck around till he finished and talked to him real quick. The man’s homeless, but he’s been playing

Yeeaaahhh. Came out a couple days ago, just getting it back together, still worth posting. Marky’s ‘Sheila’ track finally gets the Tabi-treatment. Also included: Week 2 of Marky’s WDMV Billboard mixtape. Yo, I dig the series. It’s fitting for the niche that Marky is trying to fill. Need to get dude a cap that says “Mainstream” on it. Maybe make the “M” the Major logo. Feel free to send me royalty checks for that idea. The only issue I have with the mixtape is that some of these tracks aren

People gotta start listening in to the local stations, and by local I don’t mean WKYS or WPGC. I’m talking about that student radio stuff. Tonight, XO will be on GW radio’s Funkadelic Freestyles. Support the local artists and the people making moves.
Listen in live here from 8-10 pm.

PLEASE, anybody tell me in what other sport this could possibly happen? Cricket? Basketball? 
In short, some officers decided to introduce a fan on the field to their nightsticks, which upon seeing the crowd unanimously decides to politely ask them to stop. UPSET THE SETUP (kinda, right eurok?)

Has anybody else out there been watching the RNC lately? Forreal, despite all the shit that’s been flung Palin’s way, and to be honest she may have pinched it off herself, I still want to hear what she has to say. But after hearing Palin’s speech, what she was saying was overriding a lot of what I was trying to hear. J. Smooth is on point with the RNC Hater Ball.

Even the Post has an article about it if you need a (slightly) less biased opinion on the focus of Palin’s speech.
Putting it out there,

See that guy up there in that video? He may be one of the most underappreciated comedians in Hollywood.
Somebody needs to get him headlining role in a movie.

Bold. I know. He might not be the most recgonizable talent right now, but its damn sure that he is one with the most potential. Everything he’s in he kills. Remember the bouncer scene in Knocked Up? The fact that you can even remember that scene is all thanks to him. 

Yea, he’s in The Office too.

I had a couple issues come up lately thats held me up *cough*youbitch*cough, but now I’m back and lighter than ever. Here’s a couple tracks that could/should get their own post, but instead of look like I’m being way more efficient than I really am, I compiled them all into this nice little post. Hit play, listen, download if you like.
Had this track sittin in the inbox, but it’s one that shouldn’t be slept on. Lyriciss drops a dope track about one of the most frustrating experiences anyone can go

Marky Mark fell off hard after that last M. Night movie. You remember, the one where the trees made everyone in the Northeastern US want to commit suicide? Oh, whats that? You didn’t see the movie yet you say? I just did you a favor.
For almost any guy between the ages of 10-35, Max Payne was probably one of the more badass video games that came out. And the trailer for the movie version looks like its badass. A sweaty Mila Kunis, dragons, slow-motion, Ludacris & gargoyles?!?
They might as well steal ten

Studio 43 head honcho Kenny Burns drops an episode of the aptly titled “Kenny Burns Show” from LA. Features some cameos from some people you know and others that you should know. Not too big on the Heineken though (YEAH!). Gimme a Corona with a lime and we’re good. Or Yuengling. Still take take some Heineken over ANY liquor though. Everybody has a liquor story and none of them ever end good. Shouts to RP.

Pitbull & Lil’ Jon go in over a track heavily sampling Federico Franchi’s “Cream”. Don’t recognize that track title? You should once you hear it. The track is all about how women of all colors are crazy, and so we should in turn, get crazy. Listen. Grind. Repeat.

I caught a bit of the live stream of his recording session the other day, which was a genius promo idea that somebody should be doing also in the near future, and the whole thing made me really look forward to his upcoming album dropping 10.28.08.
Hannibal Joe sounds too much like somebody that would tow my car if I got a flat tire at 3 AM in some Mississippi backwoods.
Here’s a nice Budden remix that I got a couple weeks back. The chorus has a bit too much echo for my taste, but Budden goes in.

Trying to not nod your head at this track is like lifting your right foot off the floor and making clockwise circles with it while at the same time drawing a “6″ in the air with your right hand: it can’t be done.
That might be the most elaborate way I’ve ever said a track is dope.
Nonetheless, some of Crooklyn’s finest DJ’s, Ratatat, take some classic B.I.G. and make a loud banger out of it. They’ll be at the Black Cat Oct. 2, so mark your calenders.

How the hell did Arsenal just lose to Fulham? FULHAM?! I’d like to console myself with knowing that Fabregas wasn’t in, but it’s still no excuse. I demand perfection.
In my rage, I’ve decided to substitute the percocet with posting a bunch of tracks I’ve had sitting in the inbox and other I’ve found during my trips through the internets. These tracks should be all over the place genre-wise, seeing as how that’s how I’m feeling, cot-dammit.
