30 12 2010

i definitely haven’t been as present as i would like to have been towards the last quarter of 2010, but that doesn’t mean i wasn’t around. i definitely have to give the biggest panda thank you ever to grizzly for holding down the fort as always. after the cut you’ll find my lists for albums of the year, mixtapes of the year, and some random ramblings towards the end. you know what to do.

30 12 2010

some dudes on the web have been passing this around all over tumblr, and i can’t say that i wouldn’t love to have individual posters of all of these. fantastic.

video: lauryn hill – live at the brooklyn bowl [five parts] (2010)

30 12 2010

well, i know how i’m gonna spend the next 45 minutes. ms. hill blessed the brooklyn crowd with a performance, with the weather in the northeast still actin’ a fool. the video for part I is above, and the 4 other parts can be seen at the uploader’s channel. i guess i’m too lazy to embed 4 more videos.

xv – 2015 (2010)

30 12 2010

while vizzy zone was pretty underwhelming, i’m still excited and keeping tabs on what the man who’s putting kansas on the map is up to.

charles hamilton – remember changes [f. j means] (2010)

30 12 2010

this is a pretty good song, but i can’t help but think charles’ career is already over. not to mention, he just got arrested for beating up a cop not too long ago. this is off an upcoming project entitled staff development, so look out for it, or something.

justin timberlake – take you down (2010)

30 12 2010

whoa, new JT? even though it’s not the best, i’ll take it. i just want him to realize he’s much better off making music versus making that super contrived, super boring clothing line he’s got going on with william rast.

apparently, this song isn’t him. my bad, folks.

video: kanye west – monster [f. rick ross, jay-z, nicki minaj & bon iver] (2010)

30 12 2010

this video is about 95% finished, but the jest of the entire thing is there, with the exception of one shot that reads ‘gettyimages’ and the fact that it’s not in HD. i typically wouldn’t post this until the HQ leaked, but it’s hard for me to resist. it’s like the walking dead meets dexter…if he was a necrophiliac. nicki’s part in the video is crazy, as expected.

video: chris conley of saves the day – full acoustic set in cambridge, MA (2010)

30 12 2010

yes! now we have the full one hour set from chris conley at the same cambridge stop of the “where’s the band?” tour. there’s plenty of STD love to go around. get that? oldest joke in that book, for sure. part II after the jump.

video: kanye west – devil in a new dress [unofficial] (2010)

29 12 2010

i don’t usually care for unofficial videos, especially those that take yeezy songs as the subjects…but this is pretty amazing. one of my favorite visuals in a minute.

video: anthony raneri of bayside – full acoustic set from cambridge, MA (2010)

29 12 2010

anthony’s currently on the “where’s the band tour” with a slew of cool dudes like chris conley and dustin kensrue — here’s his full set from the cambridge stop. it includes a bunch of covers (bad religion’s “sorrow,” matt skiba’s “good fucking bye” among others) so it’s definitely worth the view.

video: black milk – the man, the music, the city (2010)

29 12 2010

neat interview/mini documentary via okayplayer about black milk’s career thus far, and his never-failing ability to represent detroit and its key inhabitants (see: j dilla) to the fullest. i wish i gave AOTY more spins, but that’s what ’11s for.

eminem – syllables [f. jay-z, 50 cent, dr. dre, stat quo and cashis] (2010)

28 12 2010

you’d think that with a lineup like this, the track wouldn’t have been such a snooze. this particular joint is a few years old, liberated by the internet lords for an early present for new years, or a late christmas present. either way, where is the line for returns?

dr. dre – topless [f. eminem and nas] (2010)

28 12 2010

super nice cut. probably from detox, and if so – it’s unfinished and missing a dre verse. it’s probably for the better.

video: rick ross – 9 piece/even deeper (2010)

28 12 2010

i haven’t heard rozay’s new tape yet, but “9 piece” sounds like the 3rd installment of the bmf/mchammer series. this dude is straight silly for making the same song 3 times, and i’m straight retarded for buying into all 3.

26 12 2010

an underwhelming video, sure. but man, this song still rules everything. i really hope atlantic doesn’t drop the ball when it comes to promoting lasers, because they’ve definitely got a hit on their hands.

sherri dupree – heartless [kanye west cover] (2010)

26 12 2010

i haven’t given a shit about eisley since 2006, but this would be the thing to get me to post about them. sherri takes some time off from marrying her way through a bunch of scene dudes to record this fantastic and weirdly haunting cover of yeezy’s now famed cut. it’s also cold as hell in texas and i miss my family, so i’m gonna go listen to 808s on some headphones now.
