Greg Tate is going off on 50 Cent in particular and the current state of Hip Hop in general in his new Village Voice article. His analysis of ‘The Game’ is well worth the read as well. (Via She Real Cool)
Radio.Blog: ‘Necks Move’ by Deep Thinkers
It’s not often that I like a CD on my first listen, so I was pleasantly surprised when I first listened to ‘Necks Move’ by Deep Thinkers. “Necks Move’ is a refreshing departure from the typical hip-hop being produced these days. The group is a throwback to old school hip-hop yet their music also draws… Continue reading Radio.Blog: ‘Necks Move’ by Deep Thinkers

Sprewell’s Claim to Fame
Damn this reminds me of Eddie Murphy’s “Black History Minute” bit on SNL. Ah, the peanut phonograph needle. 🙂
Must-See Video
One of my boys just sent me a video of some poppers/break dancers. Check out the ‘David Elsewhere at Kollaboration II” video. These kids are nice with theirs…
Diggin’ in the Crates: Dancehall, Vol. 1
Here’s some dancehall reggae (mostly) from the 90s. This was the genre that I turned to once I started falling out of love with hip-hop. This stuff brings back some great memories, from seeing the Shabba Ranks & KRS-ONE tour (I was at the show in L.A. when KRS beat down the sound man) to… Continue reading Diggin’ in the Crates: Dancehall, Vol. 1
