Another excellent clip from Jay Smooth and yet another example of shockingly hypocritical behavior by a Republican. This is all a joke right? I feel like Ashton’s going to hop out any second and tell me that America’s been playing me on Punk’d. These people are crazy.
Oh, and LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL @ Steele looking like Humpty Hump. How did I never notice that before!?!?!
Sound Session listeners have probably noticed that the past few playlists have been filled with cuts off Hadee’s insanely dope 808’s & Hadee: Chopped Not Screwed remix project and I still think too many people are sleeping on it. Peep the interview above to hear Rashid talk all about the project with Fake Shore Drive and download the tape asap right here.
I’m telling y’all: one of the best releases of the year, easily.
*Ok, ok…to be fair, I haven’t even heard it. I sure hope the early reviews I’ve seen on Twitter aren’t accurate though. The leaks I’ve heard thus far haven’t been that impressive, but I’m about to give it a real listen…here goes nothing!

The homey RTC and the Ruby Hornet fam put together this recap of the Sneaker Pimps even in Chicago last week. I highly recommend all the Seattle folks to come out to our stop on the tour on September 10th:
The Clipse + Slick Rick + some of our best local artists? Whooooooo. We’ll be interviewing the Clipse too, so if you have any questions for them, let me know.
I reeeeeeeally hope this gets done right and if the trailer is any indication, I think it’s in good hands. Fun fact: Big L is my favorite MC of all-time…
So dope. This is how you make a classic record.
Shout to HipHopOfficial for putting together a great piece.

While in town for our abridged version of Rock The Bells on the 14th, Slaughterhouse came through the Sound Session studio to kick it with J. Moore and myself. Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz, and Royce Da 5’9″ talked all about their Slaughterhouse project, while Crooked I was in another studio recording a verse for a Seattle artist. They also discussed the differences recording solo vs. as a group, if they felt any competition in the booth, who they’d pick in their own super groups, why real lyricists need to be back on the radio, and more.

Go cop the album and support 4 of the hardest working and dopest MC’s in the game, period.
If you missed the World Championships in Berlin over the weekend, here’s the final of the Men’s 100m Sprint, where Usain Bolt took 9.58 seconds to prove yet again that he’s the fastest man that has ever lived. Are you serious? He makes it look so easy too…it’s really unbelievable. Great commentary from the BBC host as well:
There are adjectives that are inadequate to describe this man. He is brilliant beyond compare. We have seen nothing like this ever, ever. He writes his own history with every stride that he takes.
How strange/perfect is it that the fastest man alive has the last name ‘Bolt’? Destiny.

While Seattle’s own Massive Monkees are killing it on “America’s Best Dance Crew,” I have to show love to the mascots that hold it down on the dance tip as well. This impromptu Dog vs. Man battle reminded me of one of my all time favorite clips…ladies and gentlemen…I give you…Stomper of the Oakland A’s…goin’ dumb:
