Sach O: Adele – In the Deep (Gimme Bass Mix)

Sach O is rolling in the shallow. Abe Beame’s fearless coverage of Bad Boy’s golden era and Trey Songz’ arthouse predilections frees me to cover more R&B, a development that bodes well for this site’s already robust funk-quotient. My personal affinity for the genre leans towards dance floor remixes, an obvious development but not an… Continue reading »

Shaolin Poison

While Facebook feeds rightfully go Zuckerberg over the new Odd Future video, old man iced out river Raekwon quietly drops the video for the lead dart from Shaolin Vs. Wu-Tang. It’s Friday afternoon and Sach already said it best: it’s easy to tell that Raekwon’s having fun again, trying new flows and tweaking old formulas… Continue reading »

People’s History of Hip-Hop: Trey Songz at the Movies

Abe Beame is really the sixth Winans brother. Admittedly, I took my eye off the ball when it comes to the wacky, wonderful world of R&B impresario Trey Songz. He took shots at the thrown when he dissed my boy (link: ), Rhythm and Blues superhero R.Kelly, talking out of both sides of his mouth.… Continue reading »

Lost In Yonkers

Fake blood, bugs, and body counts. Psychological carnage and John Carpenter synths. It would make the other Earl, Yonkers’s most famous proud. Music for people who hear noises and footsteps that may or may not exist. Best understood by 16 year olds, those in the midst of slow crack-ups, and people whose anthem is “The… Continue reading »

Video: Freddie Gibbs ft. YP – “Something New”

Closed Sessions: “Something New” Feat. Freddie Gibbs & YP from Ruby Hornet on Vimeo. Gibbs going in over the “Xxplosive” beat. In the words of this man: come on. On a side note, rappers are going to need to do something a little more creative with their names if they think I’m going to be… Continue reading »

Video: The Kills – “Satellite”

The winner in this scenario is Jack White’s wife, who no longer has to worry about the ticking time bomb that is Allison Mosshart. I’m not implying that VV is some sort of Real Housewives-type harridan, just saying that if I was Karen Elson I’d be mildly concerned about the possibility of understanding “Jolene” too… Continue reading »

Son Raw: Not just an internet phenomenon

Sach O: Master of the shameless plug Though the urge to to harness this site’s reach for maximum synergy is strong, I usually refrain from undue self-promotion around here, if only because there’s only so many ways to say “you should really come out and see me mix records!” That said, you really should come… Continue reading »

Question in the Form of an Answer: Rittz

“Fuck a limousine, I’d rather ride Caprices,” sneered Rittz on “Box Chevy Pt. 3,” a standout on last year’s “Trunk Muzik.” Since then, the greater Atlanta-raised red beard has released a flurry of double-timed amphetamine raps that demand evaluation on a proper system, while going 85 down 85, or 110 on the 110. The combination… Continue reading »

Erykah Badu – Gone Baby, Don’t be Long from beeple on Vimeo. Like I wasn’t going to post this. Flying Lotus is on pace to have a nice side hustle directing music videos.
