Rick Ross "Kiss My Pinky Ring, Curly": Wow, William Roberts really tried to go in over "Special Delivery". How this nigga could "give" 50 Cent 48 hours to come with a better track, then respond to a nigga interviewing your baby mom's with this wack shit is beyond me. Double FAIL.Via OnSMASH.

[video] Boom Blake Finds Tee Youngstah
Damn, Boom just spoke on this last week, and here's a video of Boom and Tee meeting up on a snowy Trenton night:
H.O.P.E. ft. Kent Jamz "Love Lotus"
H.O.P.E. ft. Kent Jamz "Love Lotus": Here's a touching ode to the one like J Dilla. I'm not too up on H.O.P.E. (I know he's from Compton, but can't find a MySpace page), but you have to admire anyone who is dropping cuts like this, that aren't cheesey or generic. Just honest tributes to the greats.And for those not aware, Dilla's would've been 35 years old tomorrow. And the day he passed is this coming Tuesday. Expect to see a heavy dose of Dilla-centric posts between myself and my peers.

Shouts to Jon Jon for this one.

Cam'ron "I Hate My Job"
Cam'ron "I Hate My Job": Killa, what's good. I'm not sure where to start... where the fuck you been, fam? Doesn't matter, right? I gotta say, I appreciate you putting this track out, but I'm not sure how much I believe you. This is definitely my anthem, those who follow me on Twitter can attest to my hatred for some of my co-workers. I just don't know if you've really been in this position. If you haven't, damn, you really nailed it. Good job (no pun intended)Via 2dopeboyz, although this just sounds like a rip from the video.

I gotta be real: Katt, you look fucked up. I don't know if you tired, or if its something else. I feel a nigga that was grinding for the majority of a year being tired... but it don't look right:
[video] LisaRaye Speaks On Her Divorce
LisaRaye is a dime. And I couldn't marry her - she too fine to be so smart. Can be a deadly combination. More power to her.
Etta James, Haterade Sipper
Is Etta James heated with Beyonce because her old ass wasn't picked to sing "At Last", or is this over Mrs. Carter's portrayal of Etta in Cadillac Records? And Etta, as talented as you are (were?), the song isn't even yours. Yes, your rendition has stood the test of time, but its not like Beyonce had to cut you a publishing check... she went to the original writer. So, fall back. Your beef should either be with whomever organized that event, or with the producers of Cadillac Records.
Deal The Villain "Pyrex Prophets"
Deal The Villain "Pyrex Prophets": Here's a quick piece of nastiness from the homey Deal. He's also been working on his Villianous Volume Radio; here's episode 1, and it looks like episode 2 just got posted today. Do I have to keep saying that NJ is in here?

Juan Epstein x Paul Mooney
Cotdamn. I'm a fan of the Juan Epstein podcast, point blank. When I have no new music to rock to, and I need a laugh, I go through their shows. I had been waiting for the latest episode... but with Paul Mooney? Talk about a super leftfield curveball! Paul Mooney is the truth when it comes to comedy, as unsung as he is; do some knowledge on him if you are unaware.I almost choked on my ice when I saw this post... enjoy!
Internal Quest "Thoughts"
Internal Quest "Thoughts": Here's a cut from one of NJ's burgeoning spitters. Tracks like this (ill lyrics, vocal-heavy beat, etc) are perfect for chilly days like this.

I'm trying to put these NJ niggas on the map, so keep it locked...

Suave The Ape "Microsoft Therapy"
Suave The Ape "Microsoft Therapy": Got these cuts out of the blue, and I'm kind of impressed. This track incorporates a shitload of Microsoft sounds in them, and although it reminds me of the only Charles Hamilton track I've ever downloaded ("Windows Media Player"), I think this dude has a different vibe to his shit. Kind of abstract, witty... check it out, then get ready for his The Ape Still Remains, a mixtape that's set to drop soon.

Hits From The Bong
CNN is reporting that Michael Phelps is sorry for his "bad judgement" in being caught taking a few bong rips last year. What I'm saying is, while it was probably a bad idea, this nigga has how many gold medals? Especially in a year where the US was fucking up all over... a nigga can't get his puff on? In these economic times, if you are in the situation where you can celebrate, especially when you've rep'd our country to the fullest, go ahead and take a full pulls. Take one for me, Mike.I'm just wondering who the first MC to be "on that Michael Phelps" will be...

Take It Personal #5
OK, so until Juan Epstein comes correct with a new episode, Take It Personal is thee Hip-Hop podcast to roll with. Danyelliott has just posted episode 5, which I will partake in once I put lil' man to sleep. Here's the description:Usually we record on Saturday, but this time we did it on Friday, at the end of a long work week. So: Elliott is manic, Danyel is kinda tired and no we’re not OT at this year’s Super Bowl—which was the reason we taped on Friday night in the first place. Topics? Grammy nominations. The bloody battle for Internet Domination. The boss Rick Ross’ homage to Special Ed’s magnificence. Oh and Elliott’s ability to treat strippers and go-go dancers like the dainty debutantes they really are. See ya at Grammy’s. We promise!

Twestival.fm
Wow; I just posted about the NYC Twestival earlier today, and I guess the organizer of the original LDNtwestival, Renate, somehow happened upon RTD today, and I get an e-mail from her, describing another project she has going on: Twestival.fm. On February 12th, various Twestivals worldwide will be going down, and leading up to this, Twestival.fm has plans to raise an additional $20,000. How? With your music!Well, sort of. Twestival.fm is asking that artists, musicians and labels that use Twitter contribute music to this project. Twestival.fm and SoundCloud are linking up on this; starting on February 5th, a SoundCloud-powered player will allow heads to stream the donated tracks, through February 19th (they are also powering the dropbox for this organization). In the vein of Radiohead's "pay-what-you wish" effort, anyone wishing to download an unlimited number of the tracks will be asked to donate funds Twestival.fm (via TipJoy). As with anything else involved with the Twestivals, all donations will be given to charity:water. Any interested artists/musicians/labels, hit this post for more details.
For anyone with questions or wanting to get more info, hit up Renate via e-mail or on Twitter.
Love & Hate (Feb. 14th, 2009)
Kosha Dillz is throwing an ill event for Valentine's Day 2009, which will feature 8thW1, the Brown Bag All-Stars, Folk & Stress and many others. Word is tix will only be available at the door, and will sell-out, so make your plans NOW!
Kid Cudi vs. Crookers "Day N Nite (TC Remix)"
Kid Cudi vs. Crookers "Day N Nite (TC Remix)": This is the DnB remix of the Crooker's remix of Kid Cudi's "Day N Nite", which is getting some burn months after the blogs picked up on it. I love how TC threw in elements of his "Where's My Money" with the Kid Cudi "hold the phone" lyric. I also believe this is getting hella burn in the DnB circuit, but the rest of the CD Maxi Single is all Club ish, for good or ill.
NYC Twestival 2009
Twestivals are a cool idea. Heads on Twitter, for some reason, like to meet and greet off the PC. On February 12th, 2009, 175+ cities around the US are going to be holding "Twestivals", which will be evenings to give you joy as well as raise awareness for charity:water. Now, these are 100% volunteer organized events, and 100% of the proceeds go to charity:water, so really, what more can you ask for?NYC's Twestival is a go, and is only $20 for a great night out, for a great cause - they are working on something they call "20/20 vision", where you cop a ticket for $20, and raise $20 for charity:water. Even in these recession-racked times, that's pretty cheap for a great cause; also offered are $100 VIP seats, which include table seating and complimentary champagne. This event will be going down at M:2 (fka Mansion/Crobar). They also announced yesterday that their headlining act are none other than Eclectic Method, who are hot on the heels of their recent performance at NYC WTF.
Check out what the New York Daily News had to say about NYC Twestival. You can follow their progress via Twitter, and cop your tickets now! Shouts to the homegirl Netta for the heads up!
FOTM: THUGSTEP #21
Lil' Jon ft. Three 6 Mafia vs. Coki "Act A Fool (DJ Nappy THUGSTEP Refix)": For those who don't know, this refix right here is not only the perfect definition of THUGSTEP, but its also the first refix that Nappy did. As the story goes, Nappy honestly wasn't feeling Dubstep. I would send him tracks all the time, as well as acapellas, but it just wasn't his bag. I think I sent him the "Act A Fool" acapella a few weeks before I sent him Coki's "Shattered", which I was digging at the moment because I was 1) truly discovering Dubstep and 2) kind of drunk. Surprisingly, he heard something in this cut and made this amazing refix. This was featured in one of the THUGSTEP packs he sent out back in 2007, but I wanted to throw something up that was high energy, something I would want playing if I was coming out of the locker room about to play in the biggest football game of the year. Or what I'd like to drop as the first track while celebrating my win! Bang this one, loud, preferably after a few shots of that Patron...
Money First ft. Uncle Murda "Rap Juggernauts"
Money First ft. Uncle Murda "Rap Juggernauts": Last night, I posted a video of the homey Boom Blake going in on a certain MC who wasn't wearing his affiliation to Trenton like he should. I extended the hand, and what do I get in the e-mail? A banger from Money First with the nigga Uncle Murda. Wow. Trenton, stand up for this one. Strictly for the hardcore Timberland boot wearing niggas. Hopefully we get more heat from these cats in the near future...Bonus Beats Money First ft. Fred The Godson "Soul Of A Hustler"
