Green Lantern interviews Redman backstage at Rock The Bells in Boston:
The Notorious M.I.A.
M.I.A. vs. The Notorious B.I.G. "Paper Planes (itch13's Biggie Mashup)": The boy itch13, after seeing me post Mighty Mi's "Paper Planes Go Bang" blend in this week's playlist hti me with his own "Paper Planes" mash, with M.I.A. toastin' over Biggie's "Warning". This shit cracked me up, once I heard him drop the "damn, why she wanna stick me for my paper" in the hook, as well as the lil' touches, like her speaking about hitting her on her hip, and the beeping and ringing of a phone going on. Really well plotted out.
Capone-N-Noreaga "Follow The Dollar"
Capone-N-Noreaga "Follow the Dollar" (prod. by The Alchemist): Peep the new single from CNN's Channel 10 album, which is in stores October 21st on SMC. This track has an ill theme about it, sounds like niggas smoked a few Ls, got into a zone and really tried to figure out where the dollars they are holding came from. I believe that movie $20 did the same thing.

Coldplay ft. Soulbrotha "Viva La Revolucion (Viva la Vida II)"
Coldplay ft. Soulbrotha "Viva La Revolucion (Viva la Vida II)": Houston's Soulbrotha raps about The Crusades from 3 different perspectives. Seriously. Over Coldplay's latest single. Talk about deep music. Peep each side of the tale, then peep the parallels to the trials and tribulations of today. Great work.
Don Rimini "Nervous Breakdown"
Don Rimini "Nervous Breakdown": Many of you probably first heard Paris, France's own Don Rimini remixing Young MC's "Bust A Move" (which is available here); following this up is his recently-released Kick 'N Run EP, which dropped on Delicious Vinyl's new label, Delicious Gutter, which focuses on those dirty, filthy, grimey Club beats. This EP is a twisted blend of Hip-Hop, Electro and all things funky cooked into a hyper stew. I just got the EP in the mail the other day, and it puts you in that mood to go buck wild. Fans of that glitch-y Club sound, DJs who need something fresh to blow a crowds mind with, or someone just looking for beats to get them moving, Don's got what you need.Bonus Beats: Don Rimini "Kick 'N Run EP Teaser"
Jazzy "A.W.O.L."
Jazzy "A.W.O.L.": This is the kind of track I expect to get sent to my inbox on a dreary Friday morning... the kind of seductive R&B that makes me want to snuggle with my wifey in bed all day. Jazzy definitely has a beautiful voice; she's being called the new "it" girl, so hop on this one before it gets rinsed.

Planet F.L.O. "Dem Boyz Go"
Planet F.L.O. "Dem Boyz Go": Planet F.L.O. = Planet Asia & F.L.O., and this album they are working on (which is coming out on My M.O. Productions) is fresh. This has an uptempo feel to it, marching horn feel to it. Something you can go to dumb to but not feel like you have to get whiplash to be cool with.
Mally "Mally From The Block"
Mally "Mally From The Block" (prod. by Abrasive B): Mally is a Minneapolis representer (so I guess Prince and Kirby Puckett aren't the only niggas out that way) who's The Moment has been sitting on my harddrive for a few weeks (shouts to Enigmatik). Dude attacks this beat with a hunger that I love hearing... Mr. 612 is a PROBLEM!
Sugar Tongue Slim - Demand More #6 & #7
Sugar Tongue Slim "Demand More Freestyle #6": STS goes in on Weezy's "Let The Beat Build" instrumental. I'm glad more capable MCs hopped up on that beat, Weezy didn't even do it justice. ROFL @ "fish fi-let". Watch when he gets into that zone, round 45 seconds in...Sugar Tongue Slim "Demand More Freestyle #7": Here, STS flipped on T.I.'s "Whatever You Like", which is a great look since they both rep the A.
Slim also says he was up at the Nah Right/Clipse show, abd will be dropping some video on that soon, to keep it locked to his YouTube page.
Always Demand More!
[video] Maino "Hi Hater" (NSFW Version)

DJ D Sharp Presents Gangster Donuts
Bay Area DJ D Sharp hit me with this on the casual yesterday. I noticed So Much Silence posted this up when it originally dropped earlier this year, but I also think more heads needs to peep this. While some DJs might just throw out any old beat, it seems like D Sharp really tried to flip beats that echoed the feelin' that the original had. It's a dope blend tape for heads who dig the late, great Jay Dee and loved Jay-Z's lyrics on American Gangster.

Joell Ortiz Shouts Out RTD!
You know, blogging can be a thankless thing sometimes, especially when you're not one of the "bigger" sites out there (whattup Eskay, Shake, Rizoh, etc). It's almost like an "also ran" kind of thing, so when a nigga who you appreciate as an artist takes the time to link to your blog, it's always a good look! I posted up G-Spot's ill Carry The Torch 2 Mixtape, thinking "yo, this is hot, I bet the heads who peep out RTD will be all over this". Never in my wildest dreams did I expect Joell Ortiz to shout me out, from his blog!*You can't pay for shit like that, when an artist of that caliber reaches out and bigs you up for showing love. I'm not walking around with a big head or anything, but yeah that is some real cool shit. Shouts to Joell Ortiz, and keep checking his site out for his insight on life, Hip-Hop and everything in between.
*EDIT Or at least I thought he did. Word is it was one of his ghost bloggers. Oh well, back to the grind!

Busta Rhymes "Packin' Them Things"
Busta Rhymes "Packin' Them Things" (prod. by Kev Brown): Wow. My homey J Past hit me with a link, asking if this was a Dilla beat. I didn't think so, although it was mad similar, so I went on the hunt and found out (via Funkadelic Freestyles) that it was done by Kev Brown. I must've missed the OnSMASH drop on this last week. Better late than never!Is this coming out on Blessed?

More Kill The Messenger Info
Via HBO:Comic superstar and three-time Emmy Award-winner Chris Rock stars in his fifth solo HBO stand-up performance. The HBO comedy event features Chris Rock from three international performances - at South Africa's Carnival City Casino, the Carling Apollo Hammersmith in London, and at New York's legendary Apollo Theater - where he delivers his unique take on dozens of social and political issues.
So this is a combo of three different performances? I figured it'd be live! In any case, should be ill. He always has a host of quotable lines, all the time.

El Michaels Affair "Walk On By"
El Michaels Affair "Walk On By": One of my good homies was looking for this tune "Crazy Love" by this artist Osunlade. I found it on a Ubiquity compilation (Rewind! Vol. 5), but then realized that the intro tune on this is the El Michaels Affair flippin' "Walk On By". Had to share this gem with the masses, on the account of this being one track that Isaac Hayes made memorable.related: [video] Wu-Tang vs. El Michels Affair

[video] West Palm Beach Police Beating
About 10 seconds in; completely unnecessary:
EDIT: For those of you in the comments who seem to think that the cops are somehow justified in this, why did one resign and two got put on leave? Was it because the robber (who's actions I do not condone) was somehow "deserving" of being beaten while restrained, even if he attempted to get their pepper spray? Give me a fucking break.

Cy Yung "Gatekeeper (Hand Towel Remix)"
Cy Yung "Gatekeeper (Hand Towel Remix)": Cy flips the Pocketknife remix of Feist's "Gatekeeper", and while it's steeped in a nice IDM coating, his flow over the beat is on some old school tip. Want something a lil' different to throw into your sets, be it for your mixtape or the club? Try it!
Nicolay & Kay "Tight Eyes (AEON Remix)"
Nicolay & Kay "Tight Eyes (AEON Remix)": Been a minute since I dropped some AEON flavors on you guys, so I am glad to have gotten an e-mail with TWO remixes from this mighty producer. Got that ill laidback vibe on this one... makes you want to go drink a grown-up drink, a fucking Henny on the rocks (or straight up, no chaser) and nod your head to that cut.Bonus Beats: Usher "Love In This Club (AEON Remix)"
Mariah Carey x Doctor Rosen Rosen
Mariah Carey "I'll Be Lovin' You Long Time (Doctor Rosen Rosen Remix)": The good doctor hit me with this synth-happy surprise, full of warm vibes and a funky beat. Simply put, the sonic bed dude threw under Mimi's soaring vocals is dope. Check out more of his concoctions over on his website!
Ryan Leslie "Addiction"
Ryan Leslie ft. Cassie & Fabolous "Addiction": Yes, this has been out for a minute. I just can't help it, that beat is my shit, has been for the last few weeks. Ryan Leslie's self-titled debut album is out on October 21st.

Che Grand "ElectricYachtBrain In The Lab With A Stereo"
Che Grand "ElectricYachtBrain In The Lab With A Stereo": Damn, had no idea Che was a fan of Stereolab. I used to vibe to their albums back in high school, then kind of lost where they went (Emperor Tomato Ketchup was that shit, if I remember correctly). Dude flips this perfectly.Jacked from 2DB.

[video] Juelz Santan Speaks On Current Situations
Yes, he speaks on Cam'ron selling his contract to Def Jam for $2 million:
RIP Isaac Hayes
I am so sad to say that Isaac Hayes has passed at age 65. I really grew up on his music, getting turned onto his music from my mom, her boyfriend and from my Uncle Allen. Black Moses was that shit, and lived on through tracks from Portishead, Dead Presidents soundtracks, South Park and just with that timeless Soul he crafted. Rest in power.
