Gone so long, but here all along.

Sorry I haven't posted in a bit thing round here have been a little hectic to say the least.  Recently I have found my self liking hip hop less and less.  There is just too much garbage to dig through on the average day.  What is going on here? I suppose it's your fault for buying 'em.  Yea, you could say that.  I suppose it's the fault of controlled medias.  Yep, you are correct.  But is it the end?  Probably not.  I am a huge fan of music in general as many of my friends are.  We all share an open mind and accept unusual song with a strange familiarity.  You could call it "Backpack Rap" you could call it "Underground" that's a bit more dangerous sounding, whatever you call it, I'm sure you can agree it isn't what it used to be.  I listen to this brand because of creativity and hunger.  Now I feel like its completely gone...I have even heard several emcees, no fuck that, tons of emcees say they don't even listen to rap.  Obviously anything on the radio for the most part can be counted out.  IMHO.  Anyway, all I am saying is get your self together, it's time for a return.  Here are some scraps I have found that have made the cut!





LATER!

Intalek

Great song about making money, personally I would use it to get up and at it in the mornings, the beat is fast paced and rolling.  This is the second leak from the Lives and Vibes EP from Intalek and Ritchcraft that will be dropping on 7.5.10.  The album seems like it is going to be a very solid piece of work.
Intalek & Ritchcraft-Everyday Money

Kissed Her Little Sister, Not me, Him.

Oh man, I was soooo happy when I came across this song.  It is very likely one of the best remixs I have ever heard.  Not only does it consist of like four or five very good songs, but it is actually well done, which is rare to find these days.  This is the only song I have by Kissed Her Little Sister-Cocaine.  Enjoy!

Decoration

I'm sure at some point someone is going to get offended....That was my disclaimer by the way.  Girls....where to start?  I can exclude most of the women that I know but on a whole there is something terrible taking place.  I am going to take a second to try and explain this.  There is a huge divide between a real woman and what is portrayed through TV, magazines etc.  I in all honesty feel terrible for women I mean they are told that they are not acceptable unless they are a certain model number and size.  Now in some cases this is a necessary approach,

but with most it is quite unnecessary and possibly damaging over time...I am not sure how I would have turned out if I lived in a world that worships people like Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton.  Whats that I do?  Well yes, I do but i choose to tune out and even go as far as not admitting that these atrocities exist.  Ok so we have both sides of the spectrum to look at now.  On one side the is a way of life where you are happy with yourself while being left out by many because of you choice.  On the other side you have an overly anxious, self absorbed, money flusher but hey, she looks "hot" and is accepted  by others chasing the same illusion.  So who is to blame? Society as a whole?  Men?  Women? Corporations or media?  There is no single answer because society has interwoven these factors all together.  I am going to place examples of beauty and examples of horror all from the lens of my own eye.

Paris Hilton:GROSS!

Kari from Mythbusters: Beautiful HA!

Lindsay Lohan at her finest, siiiiiiiick:

Mary Louise Parker:

I will admit on the last one she does play a bit of a hooker on Weeds.

Anyway, enough examples you know what i am saying.  Whats worse is that this fact about American culture saddens me and I am not even involved and actively try to block it out.  Real girls rock but please don't be like either of the women in the first picture.

HAIL MARY MALLON

With the recent decline of one of the greatest labels in Hip Hop, many assumed that this was the last we would hear from them, fans don't look now but......HAIL MARY MALLON!  Aesop Rock along side Rob Sonic with DJ Big Wiz on the wheels!  Supergroup, IMO.  I was fortunate enough to see these guys all together live back in the winter of '09 at the 9:30 club.  I spoke to Aes about the possibility of side projects and he grinned and said we'll see.  At the time I had no idea that this was already in the works, frankly I felt badly because I probably came off as some Backpacker.  Who knows?  All I know is that if I was the emcee it would prob sketch me out if a fan came up and knew about something that wasn't even public knowledge.....In any case, this wasn't the case, just a coincidence.  They have "leaked" a number of videos and one song.
"D-Up"-Aesop Rock, Rob Sonic and DJ Big Wiz:


These kids are so funny.....
Anyway point being, keep your ears to the floor and wait to hear the rumble, then go cop it!

I wish this was MY haus.....Berlin!

:AFTER

Ok, ok lets be realistic.  If I did this in the part of VA that I live in, George Bush's Fathers Mothers cousin would prob have something to say....damn conservatives.  The Turmkunst Project started when the owners invited Honet of Paris, Sozyone of Spain, Flying fortress of Hamburg and Craig Costello of New York.  Overall it took the crew two weeks to complete.  The colors are wonderful, so many times paint schemes go wrong with bad color choice.
    
BEFORE:

Here is the crew, see that glint in their eyes?

CHIN CHIN

Torbitt Schwartz (drums, vocals), Jeremy Wilms (guitar, vocals), and Wilder Zoby (vocals, keyboard) are the core trio of musicians that make up the Chin Chin.

These guys are great and a ton of fun to see live. I am not sure what their future holds now Def Jux is no longer but I am sure they all have more to give….Wilder Zoby that’s you.
