Monsters of Folk = GENIUS

By far my favorite album of the year, sorry rae,

There is no reason you shouldnt listen to this album,

Its just too good plain and simple,

They are the traveling wilburys of our generation,

Conor Oberst, Mike Mogis, M. Ward, Yim Yames are Monsters of Folk.

Vehicle Recycled Skateboard Decks

This is a genius idea, and the skater deep within me loves this.

love japan.

I really wish Dilla did a whole album with the members of the wu...

The Wu influenced Yeezy in more than one way

He gets his production style from the Rza and his crazy antics from ODB(RIP)

RIP Mary Travers

RIP Patrick Swayze

gonna see jayz in november!

got my tickets today, yes BP3 wasnt that great but I wanna see a hip hop legend!

RIP Ason Jones

RIP Russell Jones

The song that made my jaw drop, and made me tear up a little. This is Raekwon's ODB tribute song so emotional and touching, I wish he couldve lived to be on OB4CL2. The fact that its over a Dilla beat just adds to the sadness.
The Dilla beat is the intro from Jay Love Japan.

wow dilla flipped this sample into a masterpiece!

we smoked 46 blunts

im pretty late

New Blu!

Blu aka GODlee Barnes - Open(TheInstrumentalLP)

Blu's last unexpected mixtape is so good that I still listen to it on a regular basis and now that he released this new instrumental tape im sure ill be listening to this for a long time.

footsteps in the dark

1 R&B classic = 2 hip hop classics:)

I love how Dilla flipped this sample!

sample appears at :44 and 1:19
Here is the product,

Whoever says Dilla didn't influence hip hop is badly mistaken.
