The Audacity of Dope

I’d like to say there’s some sort of significance to episode #280 and 10/10/10, but really, it’s just another Sunday so it’s another dope batch of new music for you.  Check out this week’s episode of SNSS for tracks from Freeway, Kendrick Lamar, Nottz, Joell Ortiz, CRS, Grieves, 7L & Esoteric, and more.

Also, shout to our good friend Shad, who came to town on Friday for the first date of his “Born To Run” tour with K-Os.  Not only should you check out the show when it hits your area, but you need to cop his new album, TSOL, which finally released in the US last week.  Cop it here!

Banksy murdered the Simpsons intro this week, scoring a direct hit on the Fox media machine.  Hyph-approved all the way around.

I sure hope this is an anthem in Pittsburgh right now.  Catchy record too, and he’s not lying about the “just made a million…got another million on my schedule” either.  We might be chopping it up with Wiz and Yelawolf this Friday when their tour hits the town, so keep your eyes on the twitter for updates…

I could write a bunch about this week’s episode of SNSS that featured all sorts of dope new music plus interviews with two of Seattle’s dopest, Eighty 4 Fly and Fatal Lucciauno, or I could eat dinner before midnight.  It’s tortellini too…I mean, WWJerseyShoreD?  Hopefully I’ll have more time to write next week.  In the interim, la musica:

‘Ye a damn fool!  “Power” is probably my song of the year…no one man should have all that power.

And since I damn sure don’t plan to sit through another horrible SNL tonight just to see his performances, here’s “Runaway” with Pusha T too:

When syllables go wrong.

Sadly, I haven’t been able to peep Milk’s entire album yet, but I already know it’s fire.  He’s never dropped anything less than dope, and the joints off Album Of The Year that we’ve played on SNSS have been great.  Here’s the video for one of those records, “Welcome (Gotta Go),” directed by Anthony Garth.

I know a few…

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been watching too much Jersey Shore lately, but I’m starting to really like all this dance/indie-pop/fist pumping music.  While I don’t OD like Vinny, I’ve been listening to the new Chromeo and Hey Champ albums a ton recently.  The Miike Snow record is also a staple and by the sounds of it, A-Trak & Armand Van Helden’s Duck Sauce project is shaping up to be another great one.  The first single was fire too:
