The visuals for the “real death of auto-tune,” KRS & Buck’s “Robot,” just dropped and they do not disappoint one bit.  Dope track + true lyrics + crazy graphics = a smash.  Todd Angkasuwan is really becoming one of the premier directors in the game.  Be on the lookout for Survival Skills dropping on September 15th on Duck Down.  The 206’s own Geologic from the Blue Scholars will be on the record as well!

Now, what’s your favorite robot?  I’ll offer up the hilarious awkwardness of Peter Crouch’s goal celebrations:

So awful hahahaha.

This is too funny.  Shout to all my folks in the video…but damn, why did Sean have to do Blaze like that ahahahaha.  Here’s the track too, courtesy of 2DopeBoyz:

Sean Price – “Ruck Down”

Sean PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

One of my fellow “real hip-hop heads” on the radio, Peter Rosenberg, linked with Oddisee to whip up this little EP featuring Torae, Skyzoo, Daytona, Saigon, Buckshot, and (the lovely) Nikki Jean.  The concept was simple: all Oddisee beats + dope MC’s + one day to record it all.  I’m sure it was hectic, but it turned out great.  Download link and tracklisting after the jump!

We have a lot of younger listeners on Sound Session, as anybody who’s sat in during the show and heard us answer the request line can attest to (i.e. a call for the “Wu-Tang Twins”…sigh), so sometimes I feel like I need to educate some of y’all. If you don’t know much about the legendary Boot Camp Clik, this video will serve as a nice intro for first group to put BCC on the map, Black Moon. Hopefully part two drops soon.

Tunji sent over this dope video of Talib (with Hi-Tek!), Buck, and Pete performing at the American Museum of Natural History a few weeks back.  Pete Rosenberg makes a good point – back in the day, who would have thought you’d see hip-hop take over a place like that?  Very ill.
