This is from Birmingham, AL rap duo Inkrowd, with what is <s>presumably a Block Beattaz production</s> (EDIT: Codie G informs me the production was done by Inkrowd themselves!). The beat is classic Block Beattaz in sound: hitting a perfect sweet spot between futuristic, electronic synths and country rap tunes. Great late night smoker's music. Inkrowd come correct themselves.

Seriously, he kills it. There aren't many rappers in America that would bother to even try to rhyme over a grime track, much less do it so well.

Bun B- Where Da G's<br /><br />I think Bun B is the only other US rapper I've ever actually heard rhyme over a grime beat, guesting on this Dizzee Rascal track from 2007's <span style="font-style: italic;">Maths + English</span> (edit: the album mix includes a Pimp C verse, which I had forgotten about). He was pretty nice on that, knocking out some great double-time raps similar to what Kristmas pulls here.

Wuz Here </span>was supposed to be released April 5th, but apparently it's been pushed back to May 3rd, which kinda sucks.<br /><br />DJ Ayres feat. GLC- <a href="http://djayres.com/tanda/index.php?/projects/ta014-dj-ayres-f-glc---got-me-gone/">Got Me Gone</a><br /><br />This is kind of a weird partnership, with hipster DJ extraordinaire Ayres teaming up with Kanye-associated rapper GLC (remember him from "Spaceship") for a single on Ayres' T&A label. The beat is sampled from Omni Trio's mid-90s hit <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPbVP6cots4">"Renegade Snares"</a>, which is far and away the best drum and bass track ever made, and GLC's raps are basically really nice pimp talk, which sorta positions this track pretty close to Jackie Chain's deathless anthem "Rollin". I'm diggin' it.<br /><br />DJ Eleven- <a href="http://www.djeleven.com/foralimitedtimeonly/ElevenDude.mp3"><span style="font-style: italic;">Eleven and the Dude</span></a> (right click to download)<br /><br />Speaking of DJs, one of Ayres' partners in the mobile party unit The Rub, Eleven, has just released this AMAZING mix of some of Devin the Dude's career highlights, framed in a concept parelleling Devin with another famous Dude, Jeffrey Lebowski from <span style="font-style: italic;">The Big Lebowski</span>. Don't sleep. This mix has me real excited for Devin's upcoming concert in Boston.<br /><br />Nate B feat.<span style="font-size:100%;"> 6 Tre G, M.A., Kristmas, Play Cousans, Bentley, Swagg Buddies, DJ Cunta, Slash, Jackie Chain, ST 2 Lettaz, J. Griff</span>- <a href="http://www.zshare.net/audio/749397528b21a24b/">Huntsville StarZ Anthem</a><br /><br />So, yeah, this is Huntsville's Massive Mixtape Posse Cut, and it's pretty good. Interestingly, the script gets sort of flip in that a run-of-the-mill mixtape beat is used here instead of a gleaming Blockbeattaz style production in order to show off the skills of the MCs. S.L.A.S.H. is really starting to get notice from me, she's got the best verse on this track. That whole "no answer/same answer" couplet is kinda retardedly great.<br /><br />Untamed- <a href="http://www.zshare.net/audio/74937191a45cf842/">Country</a><br /><br />Another new one from the Huntsville camp. It's cool to hear Blockbeattaz take on country rap tunes so effortlessly when they want to. Everyone obsesses a bit too much over their trance-rap sound, I think.<br /><br />Das Racist- <a href="usershare.net/fawr9zq5fi1o"><span style="font-style: italic;">Shut Up, Dude </span></a><br /><br />This really should be terrible on paper, and maybe it is, but shit, this mixtape sounds so loose and fun that I can't help to vibe to it. I feel like I will be bumpin this shit a lot during the summer. The dudes are witty and funny and sometimes overly clever in the way that you might expect Brooklyn-based hipsters from Wesleyan would be, but at the core of it all this horribly-named mixtape is driven by an authentic love for rap music. The final product is something pretty unique and engaging. Also, I'm glad someone finally realized the onomatopoeic glory that the word "telenovela" is, and that they made a song saluting the greatness of Arizona Iced Tea ("One Dollar Can").<br /><br />Here's "<a href="http://www.zshare.net/audio/74938148911ac522/">Nutmeg</a>" from it.<br /><br />Trae feat. Rick Ross and Lil Wayne- <a href="http://www.zshare.net/audio/74938190c87e44c4/">Inkredible</a><br /><br /><object width="430" height="364"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/e/16711680/wshhrjBvYNu4vM1KLdh4"> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="quality" value="high"> <embed src="http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/e/16711680/wshhrjBvYNu4vM1KLdh4" quality="high" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="430" height="364"></embed> </object><br /><br />I'm not really sure how I missed this the first time around when it was released in January, but the video was released a couple days ago and just, holy shit. This probably wins for the hardest beat to come out in the last 6 months. Shit is just so schizophrenic, with an utterly massive bass drop. Trae, Wayne, and even Ross all come strong here too, each playing to their strengths (nimble double-time monotone rap, super-blunted free association raps, and corporate thuggin', respectively).

Real life been gettin in the way. Anyway, live shit that happened/will be happening:<br /><br />A) checked the Yelawolf/Wiz Khalifa show up here a couple weeks back. Met up with the homie <a href="http://twitter.com/djburnone">DJ Burn One</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/supahotbeats">Will Power</a> with Yela before the show and talked a bit with them, cool dudes. Yela killed it as you might expect, but I was really surprised with Wiz as well. I was not a big fan of his coming in, and didn't know much of his material, but he has a legit rock star presence onstage. It also helps he has a DIEHARD core of young fans, some of whom were obnoxious in their fandom (shouts to the Becky that hit me in the face before Yela came on when I refused to let her in front of me because I literally had nowhere else to move). However, dude is nice live. Noz had a <a href="http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/artsdesk/music/2010/03/29/review-wiz-khalifa-yelawolf-930-club/">pretty accurate write-up</a> of the show in DC. Also check <a href="http://supastill.tumblr.com/">Will Power</a>'s pics he took to see just how insane this tour was. They sold out nearly every venue they played, from what I understand.<br /><br />B) I'll be headed down to Greensboro, NC with my homie Nate next weekend to check this Huntsville show at Guilford, featuring G-Side, G-Mane, Kristmas, Bentley, and Jackie Chain. I am beyond psyched for it.

This video is a well-filmed little slice of Bay Area life in noir et blanche, but the track was very bland to me. Very low-key, with some thoughtful dialogue interspersed with hustle raps. It's pretty insane how fast this dude moved from anonymous rapper dude 3 days ago to having Noz post this video up on Cocaine Blunts and having BlvdSt.com and Maurice Garland, among others, cosigning the fuck outta him. I honestly was skeptical, but <span style="font-style: italic;">shit.</span> This. Album. Goes. Hard.<br /><br />A couple posts ago I wrote up about "Southern reality rap" as a new thematic movement in rap coming up in 2010. However, I think dropping the "Southern" out of it might be a good idea, if Davinci (and Lil B, though his reality is not a reality being experience by anyone except Martians) are any indication. <span style="font-style: italic;">The Day the Turf Stood Still</span> is a GREAT example of "reality rap", and it's also unlike any rap album I've heard in some time. Beatwise, the album sounds like a hybrid of well-worn East Coast soul sample beats and thumping Bay Area slaps. Like I wrote in the reality rap post, the producers behind this album seemed to have worked pretty closely with Davinci, creating an album where the lyrics, voice, and beat have a deep and complex interplay, to the point it's hard to imagine another rapper working as well as Davinci does over these instrumentals.<br /><br />The real draw, and something I haven't heard in a minute from the Bay Area, is a completely different style lyricist and MC that Davinci embodies. While E-40 continues to do his thing, Lil B spins further into the collective Internet consciousness, and the Livewire gang makes us all remember what it means to be an 80s baby, Davinci is drawing from truly gritty East Coast and Southern styles, but filtering it through his life in a rapidly-gentrifying Bay Area. The last 5 or 6 years in rap since the hyphy movement exploded and then the whole scene had it's post-thizz comedown, it seems like most critics have either lauded (or written off) the entire region as "weird", and dudes like E-40 and Lil B have more or less supported that notion. What has been totally missed in all that is that it's still ground zero for a lot of class and political struggle, as well as everyday struggle for people there. Davinci is a gifted MC: crafting an album full of verses like<br /><br />The corner up the street used to be the spot/<br />till they replaced all the liquor stores with coffee shops/<br />I ain't sayin' it's a bad thing/<br />but where am I supposed to hustle at?<br /><br />and not sound like a PHd candidate masking as a street corner hustler is not easy, but he manages. Davinci wants to show you this street scene all around him in the Bay Area, and he films it in IMAX with his words.<br /><br />Don't say I didn't tell you: REALITY RAP IS THE MOVEMENT IN 2010!<br /><br />Below is the link for <span style="font-style: italic;">The Day the Turf Stood Still</span>, which you can download for free or buy.<br /><br />Davinci- <a href="http://www.swtbrds.com/davinci/"><span style="font-style: italic;">The Day the Turf Stood Still</span></a>Walkmasterflexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11876773227536447379noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9182119953190363515.post-41965158258882214602010-03-09T22:37:00.001-08:002010-03-09T22:44:06.705-08:00Yelawolf in NYCBack in Boston from a ridiculous long weekend in New York.

If the fact that I don't know how I got home, waking up still totally wasted at 2 pm, and the broken knuckle on my hand are any indication, it must have been a pretty sick night.<br /><br />Below's video of Yelawolf performing "Pop the Trunk" from the show last night.

Lil Bruh- <a href="http://www.zshare.net/audio/731788262fbf3191/">Da Hell Wid Ch'yall</a><br /><br />Heard this track earlier this week and finally got the mp3 last night (big ups to the homie <a href="http://twitter.com/ballerseve">J Dirrt</a> at <a href="http://ballersevenyc.com/">Baller's Eve</a>). Track's pretty sick, it's got a mid 00's ATL rap vibe with a real nice hook on it. I really can't stop listening to this.<br /><br />Big K.R.I.T. & L.E.$- <a href="http://www.zshare.net/audio/73178772858e8e0d/">Grippin' Grain</a><br /><br />Here's another one that just dropped the other day, another new one from rap's last King, Big K.R.I.T., feat. Houston up and comer L.E.$. L.E.$ is pretty inoffensive on it, K.R.I.T. comes hard as usual, and the beat was produced by pre-Block Beataz Huntsville producer Arkitek under the alias Kash Kartel, and it go hard.<br /><br />Curren$y feat. Stalley- <a href="http://www.zshare.net/audio/731786491e8c4a56/">Address</a><br /><br />I haven't really gotten into Curren$y's superblunted hipster rap style since his Cash Money days. Some dudes tried to turn me on to <span style="font-style: italic;">How Fly</span>, his mixtape from last year with Wiz Khalifa, but outside of a couple songs it just didn't do it for me. However, he really finds a nice groove on this luxurious beat. It's a really nice laid back, summery track. Nothing on this track is different from what Curren$y's been doing since he broke with CM, but it's the best example of his style so far I think. It's got a pretty cool <a href="http://vimeo.com/9724750">video</a> too. Stalley remains notable only for his beard.<br /><br />Z-Ro & Lil C- <a href="http://www.zshare.net/audio/73178484d8d0323b/">Barre Kelly</a><br /><br />My dude <a href="http://twitter.com/maynholup">MAYNHOLUP!</a> hooked me up with this joint last night, and it's amazing. While 7 of the 9 minutes features Lil C, who rhymes solidly over the "Rapper's Delight" beat, the first two minutes belong solely to Z-Ro, who murders this. Between this and the epic "Mo City Don" freestyle, I think we need a mixtape of Z-Ro freestyling over 80s NY rap beats.<br /><br />Wochee feat. Lil Boosie- <a href="http://www.zshare.net/audio/73178316916a97c1/">Rear View</a><br /><br />This track's been out for a while I think but was just brought to my attention by <a href="http://www.cocaineblunts.com/blunts/?p=5464">Noz a few weeks ago</a>. I can't quit jammin this one either. Wochee's from Carenco, LA, population 6,120. The beat's a bit reminiscent of Plies' "Plenty Money", but Wochee throws a nice hook on it, and Boosie comes through with some pretty ridiculous lines like "Breakin records like that Jamaican when I'm racin' for money". Recommended for sure.<br /><br />Freddie Gibbs- <a href="http://www.zshare.net/audio/7317816189c5aa36/">Slammin' </a><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Str8 Killa No Filla</span> coming soon.<br /><br />All Star & DJ Burn One- <a href="http://www.blvdst.com/?p=4761">Renaissance Gangster</a><br /><br />I haven't listened to this yet but I expect great things. Apparently it's just Starlito and Burn One on this street album. We need to hear more of that. 11 songs, that's it. Quality > Quantity, or as I like to call it, the <span style="font-style: italic;">Illmatic</span> model. Go buy it off iTunes for $7.99. It's the least you could do to support two of the best doing it in the rap game right now.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.southernhospitality.co.uk/blog/?p=7788">Davey Boy Smith Presents Era of the Six</a><br /><br />Davey Boy Smith from over at Southern Hospitality put together an amazing mix of early Three 6/Memphis rap shit.

HOMETOWN HERO</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user471763">Creative Control</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.</p><br /><br />So as I wrote up here last week, I was traveling through the Northeast U.S. and Eastern Canada all last week. Before I left I uploaded a bunch of new music to iPod, including some tapes and albums I'd been ignoring. One of those was the Big K.R.I.T. tape from December that David Drake wrote up over at <a href="http://somanyshrimp.com/2009/12/10/the-most-important-rapper-of-the-decade-big-k-r-i-t-the-last-king/">So Many Shrimp</a>, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Last King</span>. Drake's generally a great writer, but I have to say his review, while glowing, didn't exactly appeal to me, and I don't really know why. So I listened to the little Youtube freestyle posted there, didn't feel it, and then forgot about him until a couple weeks ago, when the "King" video dropped. It's impeccably shot, with a grimy, claustrophobic feel normally reserved for Motion Family videos (props to Creative Control for their amazing filming). But even moreso than the wellshot video was the track, a hookless, urgently spit track about hard times and grandiose dreams that caused me to sit up and immediately notice. After replaying the video 5 or 6 more times I finally grabbed the tape for my trip.<br /><br />It turns out that tape was the thing I listened to the most on my trip, listening to the whole thing at least 7 or 8 times and several times since then. K.R.I.T. would like you to think he's a King, and he makes a damn good case for being one. The dude rhymes with such a ferocity and hunger it'd almost be cliche if he didn't sound so damn sincere about it. "King" is K.R.I.T.'s style in a nutshell: he talks a lot about growing up in hard times in Meridian, Mississippi, but also spits about his almost obsessive plans to get rich and feed his family. He also has a lot of time to throw around tracks about riding through his city feeling good, jamming screw tapes, and hanging out with his people. It's a 360 degree worldview; not just about hard times but also celebrating bits and pieces of the world around him.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://content.onsmash.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/bigkrit.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 389px; height: 259px;" src="http://content.onsmash.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/bigkrit.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Production-wise, the K.R.I.T. tape is impeccably mixed by DJ Break 'Em Off: the sequencing is great, and unlike a lot of mixtapes he doesn't let any idea run for too long. Check "Get Money", which runs the hook through 3 or 4 different iterations of the beat, never letting it settle or rest. According to K.R.I.T. on twitter, he produced "most of the tracks" on the tape, and he's an amazing beatsmith. He's also uses samples to great effect: the sample of dialogue from "Friday Night Lights" is incredibly effective on the above track, "Hometown Hero".<br /><br />K.R.I.T. is the latest rapper to advance a growing thematic movement I've noticed (God that's pretentious), at least amongst my favorite rappers out of the South, in the last couple of years. Along with Playboy Tre, All Star, and a whole slew of Alabama rappers led by G-Side and Yelawolf, K.R.I.T. has been moving forth with, for a lack of a better term, something I'm calling "Southern reality rap". Over the last decade or so, it seems that a lot of southern rap has been more or less been drawn up in the blueprints of niche rap styles, so much so that you could virtually play Mad Libs with figuring out the latest rap trends simply by putting random words in front of "rap" (trap, snap, swag, bass, club, street, gangsta, etc). Of course, there are a few rappers that have refused to be comfortably pidgeon-holed by a singular style: the Dungeon Family's entire discography, Killer Mike's slept on albums, as well as the first Kanye West album immediately spring to mind. But more often than not, the best known and most successful rappers out of the South have been more than content to work a single sound or subject.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://huntsvillegotstarz.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/g-side1.png?w=450&h=299"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 386px; height: 256px;" src="http://huntsvillegotstarz.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/g-side1.png?w=450&h=299" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Not to discredit those styles, as dudes like Gucci Mane and Jeezy have made a lot of great music essentially by talking about the same subjects, but I'm really starting to prefer these observational, genuine storytellers that not only document what's going on around them, but then also forcefully place their own philosophies and ideas into the mix (i.e. G-Side's W-2 Boy movement). So often rappers easily avoid taking responsibility for their own music by saying "I'm just writing about what I see". It's encouraging to hear dudes say "I'm telling you what I see AND telling you what I'm doing to change that situation". You have to be a much better writer than Dorrough or Hurricane Chris to write about yourself and your values and not come across as preachy.<br /><br />More often than not, as well, many rappers consciously keep a distance between themselves and the listener by refusing to place themselves into their music. Except, of course, on the token "conscious"/autobiographical track that seems to appear on every mixtape or album, which a lot of rappers seem to record only to throw out as a bit credit to say "yeah I really CAN rap about REAL LIFE" (seriously, how many bloggers have you heard defend Gucci Mane by citing "Worst Enemy" or "Neva Had Shit" to show HE REALLY CAN WRITE ABOUT THINGS BESIDES DRUGS?) But dudes like Playboy Tre never hesitate to put themselves right in the mix, freely offering up their own shortcomings along with pressing forward with the unmistakable swagger you need to be a rapper. I have no idea if the<span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span></span>Liquor Store Mascot character Tre's built is truly reminiscent of the ~real Tre~, but the character is consistent and compelling as Kanye West was back when he was trying to figure out his own identity on <span style="font-style: italic;">College Dropout</span>.<br /><br />Real life is hardly ever the way music tells us it is. No matter where you live or what you listen to, that's almost always the case. Taylor Swift might sing about teenage boys and girls falling in like with each other, to the point that it might seem that ALL white middle class teenagers are doing in this country are lusting after each other from their bedroom windows, but that's almost certainly not the case. While it's a large part of growing up, it's certainly not the only part. Similarly, living in the hood is not all about selling dope or riding around in tricked out cars. There's a whole lot more going on there, and a whole lot of people that have never done either of those things. The dudes I've mentioned above are trying to broaden their scope to a cinematic level, showing us all people, from the D-Boys to the dudes hustling in school or college, to give us the image of life AS A WHOLE, not simply as a part to be fetishized and obsessed over. That's why I think it's appropriate to call it all "reality rap".<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://a994.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/2/l_0cab6f21525ee38e818235106d901389.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 427px; height: 319px;" src="http://a994.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/2/l_0cab6f21525ee38e818235106d901389.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />In a few songs this reality rap style can masterfully combine pieces of all those other styles together into one song, but this style is really better suited for albums or mixtapes in which the artist exerts a large amount of control over the tracks selected and the sequencing (DJ Burn One's concept of the "street album" in lieu of the mixtape is great for this style). K.R.I.T. has the extra advantage of being able to craft his own beats to fit his style, but G-Side's production team Block Beataz and All Star's collaborations with Burn One have also yielded great results. At any rate, it's clear that for such a mature and complex writing style to work over the course of an album, the producers and the artists need to have a pretty tight working relationship. Albums by these guys aren't DRASTICALLY different from the blueprint many other artists use: they have their club songs, their for-the-ladies jams, and their introspective jams. Weaving all of these styles together into a cohesive unit that actually tells us something about the artists behind those songs though, is something entirely different.<br /><br />Below I've got links for tapes from Big K.R.I.T., G-Side, All Star, G-Mane, and Playboy Tre that I think best exemplify this style:<br /><br />Big K.R.I.T.- <a href="http://trapsntrunks.com/?p=5983"><span style="font-style: italic;">The Last King<span style="font-style: italic;"> <span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span></span></span></span></a><br />G-Side- <a href="http://huntsvillegotstarz.wordpress.com/2009/11/18/the-album-is-here-take-it/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Huntsville International</span></a><br />All Star- <a href="http://www.zshare.net/download/70242914feae91e5/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Live From the Back of the Class</span></a><br />G-Mane- <a href="http://limelinx.com/files/0d63ada40927ad396dd27761636fca68"><span style="font-style: italic;">Sunday on Da Porch</span></a><br />Playboy Tre- <a href="http://sharebee.com/013d18fa"><span style="font-style: italic;">Liquor Store Mascot</span></a> and <span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://www.zshare.net/download/5151654806eaae70/">Goodbye America</a><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span><br /></span></span>Walkmasterflexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11876773227536447379noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9182119953190363515.post-14415141227284084192010-02-22T17:24:00.000-08:002010-02-22T17:48:16.522-08:00The NonRap ReturnSo I'm extending my break a little longer, as I'm about to actually move to Boston next week, and thus am packing/moving most of this week. But I'll give a quick post about three things I'm listening to in the non-rap world. 2 albums, 1 mix.<br /><br />Ben Frost- <a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TY1H7REL"><span style="font-weight: bold;">By The Throat</span></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.goodmornincaptn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/BenFrost_ByTheThroat_375-300x300.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://www.goodmornincaptn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/BenFrost_ByTheThroat_375-300x300.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This album, from experimental/avant-garde composer Ben Frost, is one of the most thrilling, terrifying, and expertly produced albums I've heard in a long while. Dude needs to be crafting horror movie soundtracks right now. Opener "Killshot" is a monster, with it's deep bass thuds and screaming sheets of black metal guitar feedback. "O God Protect Me" sounds like something from a really scary 80s thriller set in a hospital. The way he plays with juxtaposed noises and shifts the dynamics is incredible. If this floats your boat, you should also check out his previous album, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Theory of Machines</span>.<br /><br />Ben Frost- "Killshot"<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/43YG2bsEQtM&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/43YG2bsEQtM&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />The xx- <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?zhzm1thhjzn"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The xx</span></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://musicisart.ws/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/the-xx.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 315px; height: 310px;" src="http://musicisart.ws/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/the-xx.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />This was my favorite non-rap album released last year, and I've been bumping it a lot again recently, in large part to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucBg12vL8fc">this AT&T commercial which features Apolo Anton Ohno speed skating to "Intro"</a>. In some ways, it's pretty easy to believe that the band behind this is four 20-year olds from London: they sing about sex and love on virtually every song in a way that's pretty understandable to someone like me in their early 20s. On another level though, there's a stunning level of maturity at work in these songs. It's fascinating the way they play with space and atmospherics; nearly every song uses the same minimal sounds, but they are endless recombined and made unique via some very deft songwriting. This is perfect late-night traveling music.<br /><br />The xx- Stars<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Fp9xHu8AA6Q&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Fp9xHu8AA6Q&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Dirty South Joe and Flufftronix- <a href="http://luvstep.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Luvstep Mix</span><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVOsZzOT66nTg9hFX4VzmH4k2jEH6ktJvnpc8EWILBHVB19hWQbuBA-GPRAswqYSJfTu4u75g017LeDTQ_W0nKYxG80CmigX749X3UwHDF5F2UGWDNmT08QIqJ7DrrqDUoCPF7o78O8wk/s400/luvstep-mini-.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 301px; height: 301px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVOsZzOT66nTg9hFX4VzmH4k2jEH6ktJvnpc8EWILBHVB19hWQbuBA-GPRAswqYSJfTu4u75g017LeDTQ_W0nKYxG80CmigX749X3UwHDF5F2UGWDNmT08QIqJ7DrrqDUoCPF7o78O8wk/s400/luvstep-mini-.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />I have been looking forward to this mix forever, and DSJ and Flufftronix have done a pretty good job hyping it up and marketing it. I can't remember the last free mix released that had <a href="http://luvstep.com/">its own website.</a> However, for all the hype surrounding it, it's an INCREDIBLE mix of dubstep. The whole concept behind it was more romantic dubstep tracks mixed together, and it does a great job of mood setting. It's only February and it's definitely a strong competitor for mix of the year, in my mind. I definitely don't think they'll be a better dubstep release this year, at the least.<br /><br />Luvstep Teaser Promo:<br /><object width="400" height="225"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8626264&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1"><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8626264&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="225"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/8626264">Luvstep Teaser</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/flufftronix">flufftronix</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.</p>Walkmasterflexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11876773227536447379noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9182119953190363515.post-79264075084777296512010-02-13T23:49:00.000-08:002010-02-13T23:51:56.340-08:00BreakForgot to tell y'all, I'm in Boston/Canada until next Thursday, so I'm on break.

That song still has a strong resonance with me, remaining one of the only Common songs I've ever really liked, and one of the few tracks from the Rawkus discography I listen to with any regularity. There is a frustratingly scattershot revue of rap songs I remember playing a formative role in my childhood, and which I still cherish to this day, all of which came via the holy grail of bootleg television channels, The Box.<br /><br />When I was growing up, up until my freshmen year of high school, I did not have cable television in my house. We were a strictly network TV family, which means I had access to CBS, ABC, NBC, two PBS channels, Fox, and sometimes UPN. The only real access I had to MTV or BET was when I was hanging out at a friend's house or something like that. Instead, most of the music I heard outside of the radio came from channel 14, the scratchy, grainy, might-have-been-pirated channel known as The Box. Except for maybe The Simpsons, The Box is the favorite thing I remember from my childhood experience with television.<br /><br />According to its <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Box_%28US_TV_channel%29">Wikipedia page</a>, The Box started in 1985 as a byproduct of the Miami Bass scene, and by the early 90s has spread to a number of different locales around the country. The "catch" about The Box, which I still think is a great look, is that they offered a constantly rotating list of videos which were like a really good radio playlist that were tailored to the region each channel was broadcasting in, which meant it was possible to see huge hit videos and obscure local videos. Richmond's list was almost entirely (though as you'll see in a second, not completely) rap; the only other Box channel I ever experienced was the in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, and the playlist for that was virtually all nu-metal bands- I distinctly remember seeing videos for Good Charlotte and Kittie on there (it was also vastly clearer than The Box in Richmond, which was sometimes unable to be picked up by my TV).<br /><br />On top of that, viewers could call in, and for 99 cents a pop, choose whichever video they wanted to see on the channel. This was kind of a gift and a curse for a small network. On the one hand, viewers had almost total control over the programming for the channel; it was possible to watch the "Can I Get A..." video 50 times in a row if you wanted to. However, The Box was a small channel, and at least in Richmond it would sometimes sit desolate for hours. However, there were at least a few other people watching, as I never called in since I was like 10 and had no credit rating, and videos were playing on there at least semi-regularly.<br /><br />Given the grainy video I was watching constantly, which was oftentimes punctuated by the surreal, low budget violence and sex so often seen in low-budget rap videos from the 90s, The Box has left me with a <span style="font-style: italic;">Videodrome</span>-esque memory of a lot of rap music: many images and melodies etched into my brain, which I sometimes recall for no reason at all, but are often mostly lost to me. I distinctly remember loving a video by the Okayplayer-associated French duo Les Nubianes, but I don't remember anything about it other than I thought they were really attractive sisters (were they sisters?). There was also a commercial that aired for a Richmond-area rapper (I think) that was sepia-toned that included the lyric "try to find the key so I can open up the door", but that's all I can recall about it.<br /><br />However, there were many, many videos which I was first exposed to there which I have come to love and cherish. Common feat. Talib Kweli and Sadat X- "One-Nine-Nine-Nine" was definitely one of them. I remember Common sitting in the wicker chair with the staff, as well as DJ Babu randomly showing up:<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/d-6MUA3CRpA&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/d-6MUA3CRpA&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />There were a lot of Cash Money videos that appeared on there, but the two that I remember the most were, obviously, Juvenile's "Ha" and, less obviously, Tear Da Club Up Thugs feat. the Hot Boys- "Playa Why U Hatin'":<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ww9VlmXKYgs&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ww9VlmXKYgs&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Rwk7zKN7fas&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Rwk7zKN7fas&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Two of the craziest and weirdest rap videos ever, Wu-Tang's "Triumph" and Missy Elliott's "The Rain" (which has disabled embedding but you can see <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHcyJPTTn9w">here</a>):<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/isumZjs3dKA&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/isumZjs3dKA&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Three random stray shots: JT Money's "Who Dat", E-40's "Earl, That's Yo Life" and Craig Mack's "Jockin' My Style"<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gHIqveatztY&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gHIqveatztY&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3IubThI5fQw&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3IubThI5fQw&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IsTuHJ6jrZI&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IsTuHJ6jrZI&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Remember how I said there were a couple videos that were non-rap?
