Complex Magazine’s Top 100 Albums of the 2000’s
The top 30 or so is dominated by rap records but there are a lot of other classics sprinkled in there. Looking at the list, overall, not a bad decade! And there are a still a few records I need to check out. Click on the image above to check out the long list and [...]
The Blueprint 3 Outtakes
Alex Goose put up some of the beats he submitted for BP3 here. I don’t even know if it’s fair to call them outtakes, but they would’ve given the record a much different vibe.
Anyway, check them out here.
David Guetta’s Rad Album Promo
I am, admittedly, jealous. I want one for my upcoming record.
Recycling is Art
Artist Brian Dettmer takes discarded cassette tapes and makes a powerful metaphor about dead technology. Awesome stuff!

Karen O – Where the Wild Things Are
The first single from the “Where the Wild Things Are” soundtrack just dropped today. To The Yeah Yeah Yeah’s fans, this might be a big deal. Front-woman Karen O. is doing the soundtrack! Check out the song “All is Love” on Myspace.
The trailer reminds me of some of my favorite 80’s fantasy flicks like “Labyrinth”, [...]
Early 90’s Eminem Tracks
Yeah…Early 90’s hip-hop… Of course there were classics by A Tribe Called Quest, The Pharcyde, De La Soul, etc. but a lot of us remember the OTHER side of hip-hop that we’re embarrassed to admit that we were bumpin’ on our walkman. Well, Nah Right pointed us towards some EARLY Eminem tracks that fall somewhere [...]
Nas And Damian Marley Live
S4H: Nas & Damian Marley Live at Rock The Bells from DP on Vimeo.
This is from the other night’s show in Vancouver (i think). I REALLY can’t wait for their album.
EPIC MJ POST!
WOW – here is a site with some Michael Jackson demos and unreleased tracks from Thriller. Go download them now before they are pulled!

BONUS: GorillaVsBear posts this cover of MJ’s “Human Nature” by Toro Y Moi.
K, i gotta go listen to those demos now!
Jay-Z Blueprint 3 Cover
This is the new splash page to Jay-Z.com. You guys feeling it? I like the red bars and at least it’s not just a pic of Jay-Z’s face. Also on his site is the single he dropped last week with Kanye and Rihanna called “Run This Town” (which was rumored to originally be just a [...]
Gibson SG Zoot Suit Guitar
Hmmm…the new SG looks like a lollipop. I think i’d rather just buy the $800 version and paint it myself (or get someone else to paint it like John Lennon did with his Gibson acoustic), but it’s def. INTERESTING…would you rock out with this guitar?
Eminem – The Warning (Mariah and Nick Cannon Slaughter)
This track speaks for itself. Nick Cannon and Mariah got a little upitty when they heard “Bagpipes from Baghdad” off of Em’s last album and Mariah even dressed up as him in her video for the song “Obsessed”.
Yeah…wrong move.
Download the track HERE.

Yeezy said what?!!?!?!
Ok, I knew the Gay Fish had a big head already, but I think that us actually putting him in this blog put has it over the top. Dude’s head is bigger than Conan Obrien’s now, because according to this article, Kanye said that he’s the new King of Pop?!?! Excuse me while i [...]

Cyndi can rap!
Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto
Reason # 71 why I want to go to Tokyo ASAP; While we’re over here in America debating healthcare and other nonsense, they are erecting giant 59 foot tall robots to stand over their city. Obviously they’ve got it all figured out. Here are some more info, pics and a video over on flickr.
Nas’ 1991 [...]
New MJ Thriller Toys
Wow, these look amazing but they are $255! Great detail, though.
PRO-TIP: Leigh has one of the old school MJ Barbie Doll-style figures!

Best/Worst MJ Tributes
BEST:
These Michael Jackson flash mobs in Stockholm will go down as legendary, imo. I wish I was there.
WORST:
New LA Laker Ron Artest put out this tribute rap to M.J. shortly after he died. Wow – this might be worse than the time that Ronny went into the stands to fight the crowd when he [...]
