Cudiiii!

Yeah- I think he's on a roll now- doing the best you possibly can before an album surfaces- touring and jazzing... mooooob! (ontop of featuring in like 3 magazines currently on stands) The tour's looks sick: The Great Hangover headlined by himself and "some guy" called Asher Roth... sick - the lights and the SCREEN IN THE BACK! Well yeah- the album art is now out, donno whodunit but it's very noirrrrce- didn't expect that. I think Im gonna catch myself copping that for Christmas (plus BP3& Thank Me Later [Drake]).

Here's a video from the tour:

PEACE.

Cudi covers Complex

Complex's 5th Annual Style & Design was coveed by the one and only Lonely-Stoner-Mr.-Solo-Dolo. Art work by Augor (Teleport to his website here). The pic's a link to the cove story via the Complex website.

Keri Hilson covers Complex

YUP!

Pretty hot shoot- go peep the cover story and a couple of other pics. Artwork by So-Me of The Cool Cats (The guy that did Kanye's video for The Good Life). Teleport Here.

I'm Good

Been waiting to post this. Video came out like a month ago on myspace music, but "is unavailable in your country due to copyright restrictions..." or something to that effect. I won't say tooo much. Feel good tune, pretty solid, they'r sounding more Southern now- donno bout the album: two good singles out so far (this and "Kinda Like A Big Deal featuring Kanye"), but there's this next one featuring Keri Hilson... pretty weak. Speaking of Keri Hilson... watch this space.

D.O.T

"Na na na na- hey hey hey- goodbyyyyyyyyyye..... good riddance"

-Jay-Z- D.O.A (Death Of Autotune); Yours Truly- D.O.T (Death Of Twitter)

Ladies and Gentlemen, I think she's gone....

Yeah, Twitter and Facebook came under attack from some technical vigilantes, causing both sites to close down and barring users from accessing the shit. Facebook's been a bit of a drag lately, the hype is kinda dead- the friends you could actuall jazz are not usually online when you are (?...) and yh, there isn't much to it anymore- I'm on it, so if it's gone forever I'll mos def miss it (ish...). That's unlikely, though, 'cause the Facebook chaps are armed to the teeth with technical artillery- economies of scale won't let that happen.

TWITTER on the other hand has made a nigger gleeful today- it might also be back in a minute, but still- I've never been an avid fan of that shit- it just strikes me as the Hannah Montana version of Facebook- with just status updates and a couple of other things- but yeah- the fact that everybody was at it kinda awoke the inner communist guerrilla in me and moved me to make one of the most controversial decisions of my adolescent life.... I f*@#ed TWITTER. Forgive my French.

PEACE

Make Her Say

My favorite song last week- Make Her Say (poke her face). Cudi with a new one featuring Kanye and Common and Lady Gaga (the po-po-po-po-po-po-po-po-poke her face part), scratched by A-Trak (Fool's Gold bossman), I heard this song back when Poker Face (the Lady Gaga one from which this samples it's chorus) still had steam- it made me like the original. The downlod link doesn't work so just Google the sh* and admire the Fool's Gold cover art above(btw, Fool's Gold records- they've got the most diseased graphics people- check it: FOOL'S GOLD RECORDS) below is the video in HQ- should be slower to load, but better to watch. Yeah. Peace.

Whatever You Want- my song of the week

Nice tune right there- Consequence featuring Kanye West & John Legend. This one's my song this week- absolute dopeness- G.O.O.D music (all pun intended). I think it would sound great in the club, really up beat- can't wait to spot a video, you know I'll have it here quick fast. I like the album art as well. The above pic is (not) a download link. I like the single art.

Good Hair.

What is good hair?

If you're black, you might need a minute to think about this... what is Good Hair? The following is a trailer for Chris Rock (not Tucker)'s new documentary about Good Hair for black women. It's pretty self explanatory- and pretty funny, so I won't jazz too much. What I will say, though, is that Brother Malcolm (X, R.I.P) used to relax his hair before he converted to Islam and became proud of his black ass. Yeah.... Random..... but relevant. Hallelujah. Alright.

PEACE.

Good Hair.

Eminem & The Punisher.

I swear.

Btw- some guy called himself Eminem and released a track dissing Soulja Boy onto the internet.

I digress.

Eminem and The Punisher- for real, I think Marvel released this last month. I was skimming through some free digital comics when I spotted this- crazy shit. It isn't the tightest story or whatever, but I guess the fact that it's Eminem ought to keep you distracted for the 10 or so minutes it takes you to do that dance. Peep it here: http://marvel.com/digitalcomics/titles/EMINEM~slash~PUNISHER.2009.1

I don't know why I didn't see it coming, though- what with his love for comic books and deeply disturbing lyrics (I think I'm getting old)- I don't- no, I DO know why it sneaked up on me. Eminem got loads of press when his album dropped, I lost gas for his pill popping tip so I guess I kinda closed that dance.

PEACE.

PS.- Been reading lots of comics (just finished the first bootlegged volume of Sin City), may be I'll drop something on y'all's heads some time.

The Blueprint 3

I feel lik the joker right now- Lunatic emotions. Back in the loop i am- and I hit the ground running (yes!)

I DO like this D.O.A (Death Of Autotune) movement- pretty dope. What do i like about it? It feels like the 90's again- HipHop's going back to the raw gritty, grimy, sample-heavy days (in which I was but a toothless toddler)- it's so dope, though- and who better to do it than Jay-Z (take a moment- think about that): he's seasoned but still relevant. So even if he's going against the hipster sub-genre (skinny jeans, high tops & nerdy overtones [Kanye, The Cool Kids, Kid Cudi, Lupe etc.], it's cool that he can take a stand.

So with all that said, The Blueprint 3 is on it's way, album cover and tracklists are out, interviews are in full gear and buzz is abuzz- the rest should fall in line and I should hope for a copy this Christmas.
