Did you hear? Last night, Kanye cured cancer with his Eddie Murphy “Delirious” outfit while simultaneously resurrecting the Egyptian god Osirus and the Ol’ Dirty Bastard. It was pretty impressive and yet so minimal. Currently in Coachella rehab mode for the next 24 to 48, so expect posting to be a little lighter than usual.… Continue reading »

Passion of the Weiss Staff Meeting

In addition to plotting the demise of mediocre rappers, we also have been known to shut our eyes and do 72-hour dubathons. Via Molly Bergen

Tomomi Morimoto’s Threshold

Sach O is so 514. Following up on that Kode9 post about the artier side of Dubstep and keeping up my weekly barrage of Montreal bass related posting, I was recently invited to preview a new dance show by Komodo Dubs collaborator and potential Vatican Ninja Warlock Assassin Tomomi Morimoto. Admittedly, I’m not usually one… Continue reading »

The Vengeance of Hannibal Moncrief

Hannibal knows what you want. You want Hannibal. And Hannibal wants you. And a showcase showdown with his long-time rival Gorilla Vs. Bear (HE INVENTED BRO-FI), an entire altered zone to himself, the blood of the people who sold him imitation tilapia tacos, and your Twitter allegiance. Follow him on Twitter and watch him return… Continue reading »

Memory Man

Meth on Biggie and Pac from Gasface on Vimeo. This has already made the blog rounds, but bears re-posting. Method Man single-handedly disproving decades’ worth of work on marijuana impacting memory, providing almost eidetic recall of working with Big, 2Pac, and the East-West beef. On the wish list of interviews I have yet to do,… Continue reading »

Sach O: Pour some ice for the nicest emcee

With all respect due to J Dilla, Biggie may very well be the only musician whose death truly hit me on an emotional level. Maybe it’s junior high nostalgia or East coast bias but year after year, I rock all black on March 9th and pay my respects to an artist taken in the prime… Continue reading »

Cheveu – “No Birds”

Mad dog Frenchmen in flannel making clangorous garage rock with basslines that sound straight out of the Low End Theory and strings that sound like they’re arranged by Jean-Claude Vannier. If that makes no sense — all apologies — I was at the EMP all weekend alternately soaking up knowledge and amusing myself with fake… Continue reading »

Fat Tony – “U Ain’t Fat”

Houston’s Fat Tony finally drops a video to hold down the highlight from last year’s Rabdargab. A good Simpsons reference is always appreciated and “U Ain’t Fat’s” video has the creativity and calories to prove that he’s been smoking the wackiest tobaccee (and/or eating tomacco).Heads morphing into pineapple pizzas, fingers turning to kit-kats, Babar references… Continue reading »

Zombies Are Very In This Season

The Zombies, the gnome, the taunting crucifixes, the ski masks, the terrifying whoever the fuck Felicia Day is. For Mos Def’s rap nerdery, for Jimmy Fallon not crumbling (or smirking) under the weight, for red soccer socks, tubas, for the Shorts. For The Roots (?), for not being willing to say “Girl, We Couldn’t Get… Continue reading »

The Top DJ Mixes of 2010

Aaron Frank and Sach O write dope as a tastykake….mix! The following are some of our favorite mixes of the past year in no particular order. If a mix was given out for free, click through for audio, if it was commercially released, click through to buy it. If it was released in another dimension,… Continue reading »
