MED - Can’t Hold on (Live)

This is one of my favorite MED songs and one of my absolute favorite Madlib beats. I play it atleast once a day…for real.

This is (very poorly shot) video from Jay-Z’s performance last night at the Palms in Las Vegas. The verse he spits is supposedly the opening to his upcoming album Blueprint 3. Name drops everywhere!

P.s. - Why is it so hard for fools to handle a camera correctly? Especially during such crucial moments! Hella irritating.

Disney x Dali: “Destino”

A collaboration between these two titans, which began in 1946, was completed in 1999, some 50 years later, by Disney’s nephew Roy Edward Disney, using the original storyboards as well as notes taken from the journals kept by Dali’s widow.

Disney and Dali’s original work — a mere 18 seconds of test footage — can be seen starting around 5:17.

As evinced by the copyright notice at the start of the short, this incredible slice of history may not be with us for much longer, so dawdle at your own risk.

Chuuwee - Death of Swagg Pt. 1

Yo, this shit is ridiculous. I’m feeling this way more than Jay-Z’s D.O.A. I’ve been waiting for someone to kill “Swag” since “Swag” stepped into the hip hop vocabulary. Thank you Chuwee.

djflow:

The 2009 SXSW Music Keynote speech from Quincy Jones contained many unforgettable moments. Among them was a series of stories about his work and friendship with Michael Jackson. After meeting on the set of “The Wiz,” Jackson convinced Jones to produce his next record, and went against label advice to pursue this collaboration. What ensued was history, and ‘Q’ shares his unique perspective on the blockbuster of ‘Thriller’ and the breaking of racial barriers at MTV. As we remember Michael Jackson’s music and note his deep and wide cultural impact, we thank Quincy Jones for sharing his remarkable life stories at SXSW ‘09.

Quincy Jones is the one person I have been waiting to hear from about Michael Jackson. The vid was taken before Michael passed but it gives you a good understanding of how truly special Michael was as a person and as a musician.

Amy Winehouse - In My Bed (CJ Remix)

The original In My Bed used the same sample from Nas’ Made You Look. This remix uses the same sample as Nas’ One Love. Pretty clever of CJ, whoever he is.

P.s. - The remix is 2 times better in my opinion.

Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2 (Artwork x Release Date) (via 2dopeboyz)

September 8th !

It seems The Chef’s long awaited follow up to the classic Purple Tape has been pushed back yet again. Although this time, Rae promises it’s set in stone. Hit the jump for the artwork…
According to Miss Info, Rae enlisted Ghostface and the original OB4CL cover photographer, Danny Hastings, to recreate the classic. Fresh.

Sick. Everyone kept saying that this or this was going to be the new cover art. Even though the pic is dope and grimey I knew it was going to the final cover. Can’t wait to hear the tape though, thats the real important part.
