The Audacity of Dope

“it’s here, it’s here, it’s here…” – Com Sense

Download here.

Seu Jorge & Almaz dropped one of my favorite albums of the year and you can hear samples of three tracks in this short film.  It’s just so smooth…

Krit ripped this…one of my favorite beats of all-time by the way.  Shout to the homey John Colombo on direction.

It’s no “Super Brookyn,” but I’m down for anything NES related really.  It looks like Sai is making a renewed push and finally has a home for his long awaited official debut album too.  Here’s hopin’…

Speaking of which, someone tweeted this the other day and I never even realized it: if it’s the Mario brothers, wouldn’t that mean their names are Mario Mario and Luigi Mario?  Things that make you go hmmmm.

“Mix a little Leimert Park with a cold piano…and tell me if you heard something realer”

C’est magnifique, n’est pas?

I feel like the blogosphere is fairly familiar with TiRon, but I think he’ll take it to the next level in 2011.  He really has all the tools to be a dope, complete MC, and with other cats in L.A. blowing up recently, it’s just a matter of time until he does too.  Shout to Jerome D on the director for this clip too.

I’m kinda geeked about this, I can’t front.  Between Winnie The Pooh and Tron: Legacy, I approve of Disney raiding the back catalog correctly.

Um…so I’m officially buying a home…and doing a million other “real life” things…so just the basics for the SNSS wrap up this week.  Shout to Luck One for coming through the studio and the homey Skyzoo for calling in from NYC.  Cop Live From The Tape Deck now!

It wouldn’t surprise me if this was real home video of Pharrell…must be a nice life.  Minus points for the blatant Beats By Dre product placement (are we really doing that for EVERY Interscope video for the past 3 years?) and poor audio syncing to the video.  No excuse for that with the production budget.  This is actually one of my least favorite records on Nothing, but it’s cool.  20’s.  50’s.  5’s.  10’s.

Just another weekend here at SNSS…you know: Halloween night, having Maseo from the legendary De La Soul co-host with us, playing crazy dope records, etc..  The usual really.

But in all seriousness, this was a really fun episode for us.  Maseo and J. Moore go way back, so it was great to have him come through and talk ish while we spun joints from folks like Lupe, Nottz, Kid Cudi, Aloe Blacc, Mayer Hawthorne, J-Live, Kanye, and more.  We got the low down on the incredible Gorillaz/N.E.R.D./De La Soul/Little Dragon tour that’s shutting down stadiums all over the country, plus heard an update on De La’s next album.  All sorts of fun.  Tune in and enjoy!  RIP Granma Hyphen and Gregory Isaacs too…
