The Audacity of Dope

*dead* @ about every 20 seconds when something new happened. Wayne Brady, Mike Tyson, and Bobby Brown combine for a late contender to the Viral Video of the Year challenge. Completely, and utterly, ludicrous!

Another week and still busy…hmm, I’m sensing a pattern.  In any event, peep this week’s edition of SNSS for tons of dope music from cats like K.R.I.T., CyHi Da Prynce, Shad, Kendrick Lamar, Hell Razah, Slakah The BeatChild, and more.  If you aren’t up on these folks, that’s the reason we do what we do.

Also be sure to stay tuned for our full interview with J. Cole (missed the first full one?  peep it here) and check out the quick footage I grabbed of Jay Electronica at Bumbershoot a few weeks ago…

I wish more artists actually took a little bit of pride and social responsibility in their music like Asher has done with his newest single.  It’s dope to see artists mirror their personal growth in their art, but it’s rare.  No second childhood syndrome here, straight #motivationalmusic

Almost forgot that I grabbed this footage of Jay Electronica performing “Exhibit A” and “Exhibit C” at Bumbershoot a few weeks back.  I’ve heard people were split on his performance: some thought he got the pit area hype, while others were disappointed by how often his DJ cut out the beat and how many acapella verses he spit.  One thing’s for sure…if there’s any beat you should let play in its entirety, it’s “Exhibit C.”  Hearing that bang through the speakers was definitely a highlight of the festival (as was J. Cole’s performance).

Better late than never, right?  This jawn is a few years old, but still a great record.  I dunno why they leaked the video now, but in any event, Blu’s one of the illest.

Hella hooooard homey!  *dubs in the air*

Simply put, the homey Jon Augustavo makes music videos look doooooope.  Here’s his new reel, featuring many clips you’ve seen here on TAOD.  Check his site for more.

I’m so glad to see the rest of the country is starting to catch on to what Canadians (and TAOD readers/SNSS listeners) have known for years: Shad is one of the illest MC’s out there.  In fact, I dare you to find a better MC who speaks on more realness than Shad K.  The Tanya Morgan homies, Von Pea & Donwill, hopped on the remix to “Rose Garden,” which also features a new verse from Shad.  Remember, the US version of T.S.O.L. drops on October 5th…enjoy!

Shad ft. Von Pea & Donwill – “Rose Garden (Remix)”

And of course, the original video, in case you missed it:

Seattle people: I’m going to see you at Nectar on Friday, October 8th for K-Os and Shad…right?
