Hiatus

Yeah, yeah.  I fell off.  Don't hate, I'll be back soon with a vengeance and some tasty new tunes.

Especially after the 50 Cent show/afterparty tomorrow night at House of Blues.

If you haven't checked out my man Shady's Recovery, then you deserve a swift kick to the face.  It's positively dope.  He kept his promise and even had the decency to admit that Relapse was shit--not that I would ever say anything against Eminem.  Obsession doesn't even begin to cover it.

Check out the mixtape (The Road to Recovery: Withdrawal) also.  Sickest jams: Conglomerate (freestyle feat. Westwood of D12), Airplanes pt. 2, Despicable, The Warning (Mariah Carey diss in response to the Obsessed video [in response to Bagpipes from Baghdad]).

More later, I've become a working stiff.



Rise and grind.

RemixNation

It's #DroolworthyTuesday, time for some dope ass remixes (with a mashup here n dere) to revamp your life and your library.

La Roux-I'm Not Your Toy (Jack Beats Remix)

Audio Bullies-Only Man (Jakwob Remix)

Ratatat vs. Cypress Hill-Beat Beaty Bye Bye (Radio Vampiro Mix)

Biggie vs. Biz Markie-Just A Poppa

"Forget the telly, we just go to the crib and watch a movie in the jacuzzi, smoke l's while you do me." -Notorious B.I.G., "Big Poppa"

Return of the Mack...part deux

Once again, I've returned from a blog hiatus.  Apathy has given way to desperation and procrastination, not to mention the glorious discovery of some pretty dope new tuneage that must be shared with the world.  Keep an eye out for new and old favorites, hip-hop, techno, dubby, ma5hups, metal, and whatever else happens to strike my fancy.

Also, take a peek into my twerld.  Why not?

"You don't want me, you just like the attention." -La Roux, "I'm Not Your Toy" (Jack Beats Remix)

Ill doesn't begin to cover it

As if pro snowboarder Shaun White didn't already have it made...now he's got his own personal halfpipe.

For more info on Red Bull's Project X (stats, vids, photos, tricks, etc.), the evolution of snowboarding, and the super secret halfpipe's location, go here.  The video's on the splash page, too, if you wanna see some widescreen awesome.

While you're at it, check out this hot, all-electro odyssey of a jam (courtesy of my friend John).

Mille-Crysteena (Fear of Tigers Remix)

It's Friday afternoon and I have yet to do anything with my life.  Gonna expand my collection of Wale (concert next week?  Fingers crossed) and stuff my face.  Let's hope I get out on the mountain myself this weekend with my new Burton setup.  J-Rock over and out.

"Wrist full of snowflakes, neck like a stone-age, I guess I'm a dog cuz them bitches wanna bone me."  -Trav feat. Lloyd Banks & Juelz Santana, "Ride the Wave remix"

Just what the doctor ordered

Eminem's Relapse wasn't quite what I expected...so thankfully he's set to re-release the album--the original twenty songs along with seven new tracks--on DECEMBER 22ND. Fingers crossed that Relapse: Refill will have a little bit more of the old Shady (his bit on Drake's "Forever" brought me back to his glory days).

Here's the VIBE article that got me pumped about it.

Also, according to an article on sixshot.com, Em's still planning to drop a second installment of Relapse...vs. the re-release we'll be hearing around Christmas. Hopefully this is five years' worth of pent-up genius he's been waiting to unleash on his adoring fans, vs. the fame-whore quality that's killing the radio for me day by day (honestly, what happened to Weezy?).


"Holy whack, unlyrical lyrics, Andre! You're fuckin' right!" -Eminem, "Business"

jams to crank

May 13th.  It's beautiful out, a rarity around here, and again I'm in the library trying to pretend the glow of the computer's gonna help me get my tan back.  But no big, more album reviews (The Chronic down, on to When Life Gives You Lemons), so I'm secretly loving sitting here rocking out.  Since I can only listen to a few songs over and over for now, I figured I'd share some recent favorite tunes (in no particular order).  As I look at it again, it's surprisingly metal-free...I should fix that...

Sick techno, some ill mashups/remixes, and a little bit of rap here and there (with a random appearance by Imogen Heap).

Not to play favorites, but I can't stop listening to I Remember (Caspa Mix) and Help I'm Alive (The Twelves Remix), so make sure to check em out.

(I Remember has the.  Sickest.  Beat.  Ever.  So even though the beginning feels like a setup for a lame song, just wait.  Trust me, it's worth the listen.)
