The Notorious B.I.G. "Juicy"
Get some sun in ya face this weekend. One love!
Theo "Hola Oh Theo"
Theo "Hola Oh Theo": Here's an exclusive Theo cut from his The Birth mixtape, which drops next week (08/08/08), brought to you by That Real Ish (check that interview!). Theo is on the verge, and I'm privileged to have been able to throw some of his tracks online.
[video] Mariah Carey "Side Effects" Live
MC and Young Jeezy perform "Side Effects" on The Jimmy Kimmel Show:
FOTM: THUGSTEP #15
Young Jeezy ft. Bonecrusher vs. Tes La Rok "Take It To The Floor (DJ Nappy Extended THUGSTEP Refix)": Simple, yet effective. Fresh THUGSTEP that fans of the initial .rar's already heard. Jeezy and Bonecrusher rep the dirty, tough talkin' over an moody dubstep romp from the one like Tes La Rok. Oddly enough, I dropped another track featuring Jeezy last month, but with The Recession on the horizon, I can't help it. PUNK NIGGA C'MON!!!
Joey Honey x Squincy Jones "Altered Beast"
(Activision)(Disk%201%20of%202)[cr%20QTX][t%20+2%20Band]_001.png)
Joey Honey x Squincy Jones "Altered Beast": Fresh riddim from the one like Squincy Jones, flipping an ATL/snap beat with some ill samples from Altered Beast (which I inadvertently bought on the Sega Genesis Collection compilation for the PS2).related: Squincy Jones Nintendub Mixtape
Freeway "Hip Hop Lives"
Freeway "Hip Hop Lives": Gotta love when cats show love to this thing of ours.Shouts to BOBO for this one!
Megan Rochell "Caught Up"
Megan Rochell "Caught Up": You guys grow up in a household that listened to a lot of R&B and Soul? You remember Saturday mornings, when mad housework got done, and your mom would be blasting her jams on the stereo? I might have to start doing that with this track, which has the right amount of funk and Hip-Hop appeal to get me open, and get my floors clean.Shouts to Young Sav for the heads up!

Termanology Politics As Usual Cover+Tracklist
.jpg)
I told you guys on Monday that when I got more info on Politics As Usual, I'd hit you with that info properly. Well, the homey Matt just sent over the cover and tracklist, and this album looks like it's going to be a MONSTER!Tracklist:
1.) Its Time (Produced by Easy Mo Bee)
2.) Watch How It Go Down (Produced by DJ Premier)
3.) Respect My Walk (Produced by Buckwild)
4.) Hood Shit f/ Prodigy of Mobb Deep (Produced by The Alchemist)
5.) Float (Produced by Nottz)
6.) Please Don't Go (Produced by Nottz)
7.) How We Rock f/ Bun B of UGK (Produced by DJ Premier)
8.) Drugs Crime & Gorillaz f/ Sheek Louch & Freeway (Produced by Nottz)
9.) In The Streets f/Lil Fame of M.O.P. (produced by Hi-Tek)
10.) So Amazing (Produced by DJ Premier)
11.) Sorry I Lied (Produced by Large Professor)
12.) We Killin Ourselves (Produced by Pete Rock)
13.) The Chosen (Resurrecting The Game) (Produced by Havoc)
Seriously, with that batch of producers, this looks beyond ridiculous. I hate to call this an album of the year candidate before hearing it, but from top to bottom this just looks fly as hell. Word is a video for "How We Rock" is set to be dropping soon, too.
Politics As Usual, September 30th.
PS: Does "Sorry I Lied" have a KRS-One sample in it by any chance?
Sugar Tongue Slim - Demand More #3
Sugar Tongue Slim "Demand More Freestyle #3": After peepin' the first two freestyles STS has done, him and I ended up chatting a bit back and forth via e-mail, and I sent him a .rar with a batch of beats, both newer shit and some curveballs. I got an e-mail from him late Monday night with two freestyles in them. The official Demand More #3 freestyle is over Busta's amazing "Don't Touch Me" beat, causing STS to just go for broke on that throwback instrumental. Oh, and this marks the first time rock the dub has been namechecked in a freestyle! The second...Bonus Beats: Sugar Tongue Slim "Next Levels Freestyle (RTD Exclusive)": ...is an exclusive to the site, and over something you might not expect. Fans of MF Doom's King Geedorah moniker should know this beat ("Next Levels", from the Take Me To Your Leader disc), and STS shines bright over that jazzy piano. I'm guessing this is the first of the "On Demand" freestyles STS is doing!? Shouts out to him, regardless!
As another added bonus, STS sent a video...
Sugar Tongue Slim Demand More (Sneaker Edition)
Until next week... DEMAND MORE IS A MOVEMENT!

Spec Boogie "By My Side"
Spec Boogie ft. Noñameko "By My Side" (prod. by Von Pea): Nothing I can say in writing will be able to properly explain what this track means to Spec, so I will just copy the blurb he sent me:Today is the 13th anniversary of the passing of my mother so I wanted to leak a track I recorded last year dedicated to the memory of her and my father (who passed on in september 98) it may be a little personal for a blog blast but hey, I hold nothing back. I'll get back to talking that shit next week.
If that ain't real talk, I don't know what is. For those in the New York area, Spec, Che Grand, 8th W1 and Fresh Daily will be holding it down at the Gallery Bar on Orchard Street, L.E.S. NYC (here's the flyer). Loosie.
related: Elucid "24 Hour Heartbreaker"
Elucid "24 Hour Heartbreaker"
Elucid "24 Hour Heartbreaker": Flipping Adult.'s "Good Deeds", Elucid spits some fiery flames on those chicks who you love but don't share that feeling. Dude channels Elvis and Prince, all the while maintaining his unique voice over this skankin' electro-punk romp.
Like He Stole Something
Enigmatik hipped me to this link over at Dallas' spot, of what is definitely some fucking police brutality:
(Here's a direct link if the above video isn't loading up)
A fucking BLACK COP beat that nigga like he was a slave. KRS-One was so on point. No Justice from the punk police. Sad part is, niggas are scared of revolution... how long are YOU going to let this go on?

Bekay "Uncle Murdered"
Bekay "Uncle Murdered" (Uncle Murda Diss): Wow, I had no idea Uncle Murda changed his name to BK... looks like "BK" has awoken the beast...Uncle Murdered? In response to Uncle Murder’s name change to ‘BK’ that was announced on Hot 97 on Friday, July 18, the ‘real’ Bekay has some words for Uncle Murder as he battles to claim his moniker. “You’re a liar, the streets is sick of your bars/ Uncle Murder?, more like Aunty M from the Wizard of Oz” -Bekay delivers back to back punch lines over classic Alchemist production
Can't wait to hear Murda's response. Why would he change his name to "BK" anyways? He trying to get a new single put on Urban radio?
Nas "What It Is"
Nas "What It Is" (prod. by DJ Khalil): Finally, a Full, dirty, CDQ version of this track I've been hype over since February has come out. Khalil is a beast on this beat, and Esco does the damn thing.Jacked from Nah Right.

More word on this when I get it!Shouts to Matt for this one, as per usual!
How Much Is Too Much?
How many stories like the death of "Scooter" Pikes, or the recent hospitalization of Mace Hutchinson, both involving excessive use of a taser, do we need to hear before we question the authorities? I can understand the use of a taser to subdue an unruly citizen, I get that, and prefer it over more lethal weaponry. My thing is, after two, maybe 3 shots with the taser (depending on height & weight), when does a cop just say "OK, let's try something else"? When does it step over the line of trying to get a situation under control and become police brutality?9 times surely seems like it was over the limit, and that killed Pikes. 19 times is far too many, and luckily Hutchinson is alive, albeit suffering from a laundry list of ailments, including a serious fall that the tasering delayed.
If I went out and had a dispute with 5-0, and I felt threatened, legally had a taser on me and shot the cop with it, could I get off on a light rap? I highly doubt it. I seriously feel as its us against them. My thing is, my hood isn't nearly as bad as other spots in my area, and yet I get double looks from cops when I don't fit any kind of description. Shit like that makes a nigga feel like, while my taxes go to pay their checks, they could give fuck-all about me.
And then they wonder why people in the US can't trust them. Look at the timeless issues people in general (not just based on color/sexuality) have had against the authorities. And there are good cops out there, but it feels like the cats who are whupping upside your head or repeatedly electrocuting you are outnumbering the cats who help old ladies cross the street, walk the city beat and truly give a damn about our communities.
Hopefully we can see an end to these excessive forms of police brutality.
rock the dub radio: episode 025

[video] New LOST Video
Just like last year, Dr. Marvin Candle (or shall I say Pierre Chang) is back in another LOST teaser video; last year's vid was pretty wild, and ended up tying into the season very well, so I imagine this one will do the same:

Tricky "Council Estate (Drums of Death Remix)": I brought you the original in video form back in May, the South Rakkas Remix back in June, and now I bring you this glitchy, hyper mix from Drums of Death. Tracks like this will throw the dancefloor into a frenzy, especially with how the track flips around the 3:45 mark.The single for "Knowle West Boy" drops in North America on August 5th, and will feature the aforementioned South Rakkas & Drums of Death mixes alongside a mix from Toddla T. Shouts to KCG for the links, and the info!
