Monday Music Mayhem: Jay-Z and Kanye Mayhem in Paris

Jay-Z and Kanye were actually in Paris this past weekend.  So it was only natural for them to perform Niggas in Paris . . . . ELEVEN TIMES straight to end their already two hour long show, culminating in a three hour performance.

Note: They've completely jumped on the "all black" bandwagon (about 6 years late) so it's hard to see them running around the stage in this fan shot video, but they're there.

Hip Hop & Cartoons

Two of my favorite pastimes come together for this hilarious nostalgic tale from the Genius.

American Children Are Pussies

You think Romanian kids have Boy Scout meetings?  You think they have Leap Frog and Sesame Street?  Running water and cable?  You think Romanian mothers cut the crust off their peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?  Hell no, they have Rammstein!

8 Year Old Girl's First Hardcore Song

She loves her dog, Robert, and her fish. Not sure why she's pissed though. WOOOO!

Drunk Man Arrested: Sings Entire Bohemian Rhapsody

Clearly he wasn't THAT drunk if he could sing the entire song. I've done countless drunken renditions of this song, and NONE of them sounded this good.

Also, I know it's Canada and they have a higher standard of education than moronic USA, but he is the absolute most eloquently spoken drunkard I've ever heard.

Monday Music Mayhem: DOOMSTARKS

Searching for last post's link and came across a new Ghostface and DOOM track.

These two have graced tracks together a lot in their history. My personal favorite was when this duo semi-collaborated back in 2005 over Dilla's "Donuts", when they recorded Sniper Elite and Murder Goons.

Here they rock the mic together again on DOOMSTARKS - Victory Laps

Read of the Year

A little late (a month of so) but I just wanted to share with you the absolute read of the year. Here is Ghostface Killah's 3rd attempt at a10 Softest Rappers List. Keep in mind that the first editon Aubrey "Drake" Graham taking the one, two and three spots on the list. Aubrey didn't feature much better in the second edition either, taking the top spot.

Ghostface has been one of the realest artists in the game, way back, since most of these listees were still in diapers. So don't even begin to justify this as "hating" and hide behind that shielded word so often used on the interwebs. He's not hating, he's critiquing; and when you earn your stripes, you're allowed to do so.

Finders credit: two of the realest dudes I know: Danny Levin and Branden Lawson.

Monday Music Mayhem

Theophilus London - Century Girl (Feat. Devonte Hynes)


Hodgy Beats (OFWGKTA) - Mystery (2011)


Masta Ace - Dear Diary (2001)
I like to refer to Masta Ace as the Black Eminem because off his uncanny vocal and delivery similarities to the Detroit native. And, coincidentally, Em is featured on this track that used the same sample Hodgy Beats did in "Mystery".

Autolux - Turnstile Blues


Cold Cave - Life Magazine

Monday Music Mayhem (Halloween Edition)

Fresh Prince & DJ Jazzy Jeff - Nightmare on my Street


Gravediggaz - 1-800-SUICIDE
The horrorcore pioneers themselves take a more relaxed approach at mastering this beat. And by mastering i mean by the likes of legendary producers Prince Paul and RZA; along with Frukwan and Too Poetic, the Gravediggaz project blessed hip hop fans with dark, grimy tracks for the ages.


Eminem - Stan
Traditionally a darker context rapper, Eminem narrates this horror classic as both an obsessed fan and a calm and collected version of himself. Accompanied by Dido, this track is sure to make the hair on the back of your neck stand at attention.


Misfits - Halloween

Monday Music Mayhem

Helios - Distance


Handsome Boy Modeling School feat. Cat Power - I've Been Thinking


Built to Spill - Life's A Dream


On a side note, Built to Spill will be performing at The Belly Up Tavern on Wednesday, October 27th with ReVoLtReVoLt--never heard of em, but I'm not liking their usage of alternating caps. First impression prevails.

And because it's catchy....
