CLASSIC VIDEO: DAFT PUNK – AROUND THE WORLD

It saddens me that DJs have abandoned the greatness that is Daft Punk due to their search for so-called”originality’s” sake – their music is still the best shit ever in a party. I remember catching this video mad years ago late night and being GEEKED. Homework is still one of my favorite albums of all time.

UNRELEASED: COMMON – STRANGE FRUIT (FEAT. JOHN LEGEND) (PRODUCED BY KANYE WEST)

Here’s some unreleased Common featuring John Legend and produced by Kanye West that didn’t make it to the final cut of Finding Forever, most likely due to the Nina Simone sample. Who knows. Dope shit though. Chicago run it! I love that the internet allows a venue for great songs that can’t legally make it to albums to still be heard. Don’t you? Partake.

THE RETURN OF SOULS OF MISCHIEF

Back in 1993 I remember buying The Source mag (IceCube was on the cover) Black Moon’s Enta Da Stage & Souls Of Mischief ’93 Til’ Infinity on cassette. I played both tapes out like no other til they wouldnt play no more, but none hit more home than the crew from East Oakland California. I was amazed @ the styles, cadences, patterns, lyrics, beats…EVERYTHING! & now the 4 men who changed the way crews come out the lyrical box have returned with legendary producer Prince Paul to bring their latest album entitled Montezuma’s Revenge. Just in time for the holidays we bring you their 1st single Proper Aim “Because it showcases our lyricism, plain and simple. There’s no deeper meaning. Prince Paul’s beat gave us the perfect foundation to just let it rip.” says Tajai
