some more unreleased Tupac,
props to NahRight

More posthumous music,

I was listening to Tupac earlier today and realised he dissed more rappers than the ones that were mentioned on the infamous Hit em up, I didnt even know he had beef with Jay-Z and Nas. He even dissed De La Soul which is pretty crazy. Either way Tupac is the very first rapper I ever listened to and he's still one of my favorites. Here's some unreleased music.

OJ Simpson is guilty and MAD,

Download Coroners Music!

The charisma that Detroit’s heavy hitting MC Guilty Simpson and the Los Angeles based Beat Konducta Madlib share is undeniable. A string of songs going back to Guilty’s first appearance on wax (Jaylib’s “Strapped”) testify to a musical kinship that is rare in today’s rapper-as-an-accessory marketplace. To us, Guilty over a Madlib beat is like hearing Guru over Premier circa Daily Operation, or CL over Pete around the time they recorded “Straighten It Out.” Some times, a rapper and a producer just work well together.

The two together making OJ Simpson, Madlib (Otis Jackson) and Guilty Simpson. OJ Simpson is the name of the album. No, you won’t hear Guilty make any references to bloody gloves. No, you won’t catch Madlib driving a bronco. These are some 14 hard hitting, straight from the gutter hip hop tracks featuring Guilty’s inimitable baritone and a couple guest appearances (Elzhi, Strong Arm Steady). Some cuts by J.Rocc. And a whole bunch of attitude. This is one of our favorite projects in a while.

We’re releasing this teaser single – the title track and the needs-nothing-more-than-the-title verbal onslaight that is “Coroner’s Music” - to remind you of the hip hop you’ve missed. The album drops this fall.

props to nahright!

Best news i've heard so far.


from OkayPlayer
We received good word in an email from the homey Jeff at Stones Throw last night that Ma Dukes and J Dilla's other heirs have recently succeeded in their legal battle against the executors of J Dilla's estate. We've been following these matters which were discussed heavily in this interview with Ma Dukes, as well as written about in this Vibe Magazine article from early this year. More to follow.

beautiful,

I was listening to this album today on vinyl and it sounds so great. It made me appreciate the instrumentation on the album and I realized Zooey Deschanel's voice is way more amazing than I thought. This album sounded like something from the 1950's they truly have a great sound.

I absolutely love lanvin,

The first song I heard this morning,

I've had this song on my ipod for a few months now but I actually paid attention to the song this morning. Nas is an amazing lyricist he can paint a picture in just a few words. As I listened to it I thought about the situation im in right about now and it was crazy how much it opened up my eyes. Thanks Nas and thanks to Kanye for the beat.
