FULL SCREENThe Sounds of VTech / Verocai Flying To L.A. Another preview of the Timeless Concert series; if you don’t have these DVDs you’re gonna want to get moving. The three concert series focuses on composer/arrangers whose music had major impacts in the world of hip hop; Mulatu Astatke, J-Dilla, and Arthur Verocai. Here we [...]
FULL SCREENThe Sounds of VTech / Yekermo Sew Trailer Before I go into detail, let me stress one point: I cannot recommend these DVDs more highly; they are simply put, fantastic. But if just a simple sentence from me isn’t enough to convince you, allow me to explain to you just how incredible this series [...]
Brazillian songstress Cibelle, err… I mean her… alter ego Sonja Khalecallon, has recorded a cover-version of Raymond Scott’s Lifeworks, or as it’s probably better known, the main sample from J-Dilla’s Lightworks. There’s a lot of pressure riding on anyone who thinks their interpretation of this song can hold it’s own against Dilla’s, but Sonja triumphantly [...]
I dunno why that whole upsidedown face thing is so funny, but it is. Every time. Without fail. It’s always funny. If you weren’t already excited for 8thW1′s upcoming collabo mixtape with the 2 Hungry Bros, No Room For Dessert, hopefully this video was enough to push you over the edge. peace, -the judge
shameless self promotion instead of a picture this time around, but, oh well. Kid Cudi goes in on some Dilla joints while in the studio with Peter Rosenberg. For all the criticism of Cudi I’ve been hearing, dude spits off the dome (and like, ACTUALLY off the dome, not off the blackberry) a lot better [...]
video platform video management video solutions free video player Wow… this is a bloodbath. The artwork looks really nice, and makes me wonder what a full on animated Wu Tang movie would be like. There’s something to think about. I think it would be dope. Make sure you catch the bit with the old master [...]
OB4CL2 is one of the upcoming high profile releases that I think will live up to the hype. Everything I’ve heard so far (including some supposed RZA instros that didn’t make the cut) has been dope. And I really think this will function as a true continuation of the original. Which is what everyone really [...]
Arguably the five greatest MCs in the Wu over a killer J Dilla beat?? Hello Cuban Linx II! Ok, so GZA only makes a brief appearance here (providing an excitingly reminiscent hook), but four of the greatest Wu-Tang MCs spitting fire verses over a Dilla beat is nothing to scoff at. With Rae spitting at [...]
This whole situation is ridiculous. I’m not one to bash artists, because it’s not my place. I like to uplift what I think is good, and ignore what I don’t like. But sometimes something permeates through, and I just can’t help but let the dragon out. Come on Charles Hamilton! Seriously? You really thought that [...]
Minnie was an incredibly talented musician, and her influence will live on for a long time in the music of folks like ATCQ, Dilla, and tons of others. Check out the track, then hit the jump for a segment from an upcoming documentary, where Q-Tip talks about her music. peace, -the judge
