video: eminem – no love [f. lil wayne] (2010)

30 09 2010

sans the incredibly risky sample, this is one of the few great songs on recovery, so i’m especially happy to see that it’s the next single; especially considering that the previous singles might be one of the worst songs i’ve ever heard. the video’s pretty much what you expect, except that the jaden smith look-alike gets his redemption on the bullies instead of taking the high road.

video: lebron james x dr. dre – power beats promo (2010)

30 09 2010

lebron’s still my dude and this commercial’s pretty hilarious. if not for affion crockett’s buffoonery, then definitely for how big the doctor has gotten. i’m afraid to say more in fears that he’ll pull one of those guns out on me and clothesline me to the core of the earth. beats by dre, indeed.

video: good old war – my own sinking ship & that’s some dream (2010)

30 09 2010

the sometimes scruffy but always wayward troubadours of good old war took some time out of their first trip overseas to perform a mini acoustic set of “my own sinking ship” and “that’s some dream” (after the jump)off their self titled album. if you could genetically engineer equal parts paul simon, nick drake, and jeff bridges’ character “the dude,” you’d have good old war. or you know, just break up days away; that yields the same results too.

good old war is out now.

video: rick ross – aston martin music [f. drake and chrisette michelle] (2010)

30 09 2010

on an album with jay-z, yeezy and t.i. collabs, “aston martin music” was the unsung hero of teflon don. the justice league nailed the production and this might be chrisette michelle’s finest vocal work to date. that being said, rawse decided to pass off on one of drake’s best verses EVER for the album version, in a move that can only be chalked up to not wanting to get murked by a young gun on his 4th album. in any case, the music video for this one has drake’s full on paris morton music verse, as well as the motherload of soon-to-be drake .gif files.

pretty cheesy video over all, but there are enough beautiful hard bodies (i’m talking about the cars) and the broads (the girls) to make it worthwhile. oh and a child actor saying “BAWSE.”

video: belle and sebastian – write about love live on fallon (2010)

30 09 2010

a hip hop history with jt just isn’t enough these days. for one of the better shows of the year, belle and sebastian came by the fallon studios to perform the titular track off their upcoming album write about love, as well as the dear catastrophe waitress classic “piazza, new york catcher.” the roots’ always impressive ?uestlove sits in on the skins. catch “piazza” after the jump.

write about love is out october 12.

video: wolf parade – yulia (2010)

30 09 2010

“major tom from behind the iron curtain” perfectly encapsulates the visuals for wolf parade’s rockin’ “yulia” from this year’s expo 86. you can also read a detailed report by the director, scott coffey on his inspiration for the soviet “sitting in a tin can.”

expo 86 is out now.

video: bright eyes – coyote song (2010)

30 09 2010

hey! there’s a band-name we haven’t seen in a while. conor oberst dusts off his bright eyes moniker and joins with the sound strike, a coalition of artists and musicians boycotting the state of arizona for it’s passing of the sb 1070 bill ( yo know the one). head to the site to buy the song and donate two dollars to their cause.

slim thug – so high [f. b.o.b.] (2010)

30 09 2010

not big on this song at all, but as far as the collaboration goes, it was worth a post. how the hell did these two link up? no matter though, as bobby owns this cut.

while this video and song’s interpretation of the velvet underground cut are nothing short of awesome, i gotta say there are much better choices for singles on good things. no matter though, as i’m a complainer!

video: justin timberlake + jimmy fallon + the roots – a history of rap (2010)

30 09 2010

while timberlake was in house to promote his flick, the social network, the concept of hip-hop music came up, and these two already had something legendary planned out. gotta love the voice shadowing on both parties behalf, and you can never go wrong with the roots. i had way too much fun watching this.

video: local natives – wide eyes (2010)

30 09 2010

this might be the worst and best music video the band’s ever put out. i really don’t even know what to say. there’s no real point, but a shark goes get the shit kicked out of him.

video: aloe blacc – i need a dollar live at the do over (2010)

29 09 2010

part of the adidas originals series. if you haven’t copped good things yet, stop doing yourself a severe disservice. and someone tell the girl at the 1:51 mark to stop doing herself a disservice and holler at a bear.

as tall as lions call it quits (2010)

29 09 2010

this is pretty much the worst news i’ve gotten all week. one of my favorite bands of the last five years has called it quits. it’s always nice to say that they have one of my favorite albums of all-time, though. 2006′s self-titled will always be a mainstay in my collection, as i feel it’s one of the few records that transcends both genres and time periods.

it’s funny, too. the weather’s been so great here lately & i bumped all three of the records just this week for the first time in a long time. i’ll have no problem revisiting all of them as i get really melodramatic and mourn a real loss for music as a whole. definitely gotta give endless thanks to the band for giving their fans three of the best albums, weworemasks two of it’s finest interviews [ONE and TWO.]and just being some of the best folks we’ve personally come across in the music industry.

read their farewell blog post.

yo gotti – look in the mirror remix [f. wale, j. cole and wiz khalifa] (2010)

29 09 2010

sans yo gotti, this is a fairly stacked lineup. gotti’s always been a broke ass version of jeezy. as far as the rest of the lineup, a beat like this is surely out of place, but cole, wale and wiz all do their thing.

video: the gaslight anthem – live at area4 festival [full set] (2010)

29 09 2010

really bummed about missing the houston date of the gaslight anthem show. both sunbear and i have shot our wads and bought vampire weekend (iknorite) ahead of time and turns out, both the gaslight anthem and local natives’ respective tours are hitting our city the same night. and the fact that three shows that i would’ve gone to without a doubt hit our city in the same night is complete BS, ya dig? in the meantime, we can quench our gaslight thirst with this hour long set courtesy of the area4 festival.

and here’s the setlist.

video: thrice – live at area4 festival [full set] (2010)

29 09 2010

full warped-tour length thrice set? sounds good to me. the boys played a festival in alemania and a bunch of weird foreign kids get to see 30 minutes of thrice. setlist is: weight, of dust and nations, earth will shake, messenger, in exile, helter skelter and beggars.

this video is extremely clean. a series of photos were compiled together by director and editor chris chynoweth to create the “video” you see up there. love the concept, love the song and the album.

video: n.e.r.d. – hypnotize you [live on letterman] (2010)

29 09 2010

this might be the weirdest late night performance of a new song. if you wanna hear pharrell get sensual with it and hit that falsetto note for 3 minutes behind what looks like a gaggle of underaged girls (let’s face it, they’re probably not), then this is for you. letterman might’ve been a little too excited at the end, too. nothing is in stores ???

kanye west – lost in the world [f. bon iver; tags] (2010)

29 09 2010

an unexpected leak really early in the morning? i’ll take it. here’s the song ye previews on both ustream (the beat) and at the facebook headquarters (lyrically). round it out with a rework of justin vernon’s woods and you have a beautiful slow burn. this song is obviously in dire need of a good mix and master, and it has tags, but it’ll do until the CDQ drops.

EDIT: TAKEN DOWN. yeezy has canceled good friday this week cause of someone leaking this. son, i am regret.

free ep: spirit fangs – spirit fangs (2010)

29 09 2010

this is definitely an “introducing” post of sorts. these guys hit us up with their free EP, and although the summer’s ending, spirit fangs is doing it some justice. good old rock n’ roll to get dirty to from the great state of california. FANGS U…just kidding. hit up their myspace page for some extra goods and the happ’nins.

29 09 2010

i’m sure many of you missed big sean on his college tour. here’s a recap of his event in austin, including the in-store, backstage and all that good shit. he did a real cool thing with the meet and greets in each city, so definitely gotta give it up to him for putting that hard work back into his fanbase. boi.
