From the press release —
J.Period’s highly anticipated to The Abstract Poetic is finally here. This styles precedented mixtape arrives on the heels of Q-Tip’s critically–acclaimed album, The Renaissance (released Nov 4), and urges a new generation of fans to take note of Q-Tip’s tremendous contributions to Hip-Hop throughout his career.
With an all-star lineup of contributors—De La Soul, Busta Rhymes, ?uestlove, Black Thought, Talib Kweli, Pharoahe Monch, Consequence, Zion I, Skillz, Black Sheep, Kid Cudi, and Blu, The [Abstract] Best is a first of its kind in the mixtape game, and a testament to the depth of influence Q-Tip has had on Hip-Hop’s elite.

If you’re still bitchin’ and moanin’ about Auto-Tune in party songs, you need to do like the chorus say and “find a girl to rotate.” Or guy…if you’re into that type of thing pause. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s been a year and I still miss The Wire and all its characters. We said our final goodbyes in 2008 but recent endless viewings of the DVD box set had me feeling sentimental and inspired. It’s the “Who would play me in a movie?” game further realized and repurposed, i.e. which rappers would play characters on The Wire? So, without further adieu…
Charles Hamilton as Duquan “Dukie” Weems — These two have more of an uncanny physical resemblance than Blu and Bubbles. Besides their connection as look-alikes and being coincidentally homeless at different points in life, both are bright, yet can’t seem to get the formula quite right to move on to a higher level of success. Coincidentally, and both lived in the streets.
Nas as Avon Barksdale — Okay, so maybe Nas isn’t really a hustler or a gangster. But he is an older figure who has seen more dominant days, finding his way in an environment that may/may not be suited to his tastes any longer. Oh, and he evolved as the opposite of…
Jay-Z as Stringer Bell — The intelligent hustler. Does/did anyone so knee deep in their respective field have a more savvy business sense than these two?
Andre 3000 as Lester Freamon — These wise vets are intensely cerebral while having a creative outlet that helps them make money while expressing themselves. Both have also expressed discontent or disinterest with the state of their environments. Read the rest of this entry »

Today would be exactly be three years to the day when one of the greatest producers Hip-Hop has ever known passed away due to complications stemming from his fight with Lupus. With all those we love who pass on, we honor their lives rather than their death. Moreover with artists, their legacy lives on with the work that made us “fall in love” in the first place. Stones Throw recently put out live audio from Jaylib on tour in 2004.
One of the best tributes ever done on Dilla was by Read the rest of this entry »

We’re all music nerds, otherwise we wouldn’t congregate here on the daily to commiserate about the topic. And chances are no matter how deep/shallow our pockets may be, we will all invest some time to find the perfect song to send to some bird we have our eye on, create some “sultry” mix for a loved one…or playlist to get high/drunk to because “we don’t believe in that love shit.” That’s what music lovers do; they use song to transmit their feelings to loved/lusted ones.
