Nas – Sly Fox (official video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on July 10th, 2008 by Hyphen

(why is there a Wolf Blitzer CNN clip in there?)

You know, honestly, I prefer the fan made video I posted yesterday.  But regardless, this is dope and Cordero gets props for including Jay Smooth and Info in it.  Plus, I’m glad he decided to take this in the ‘new media’ direction, in that WE ARE the new media outlets.  Blogs, messageboards, podcasts, etc. can all help fight media consolidation.  Don’t let the internet turn into the radio.

Nas – Sly Fox (unofficial video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos, Politics on July 9th, 2008 by Hyphen

Here’s a dope fan video for Nas’ “Sly Fox” track off Untitled created by Ego from Soundcircuit.  With the recent news that Rik Cordero and Nasir are working on an official video (complete with Jay Smooth and Miss Info cameos!), I hope the real one takes this idea even further.  Fox News is a complete joke, and I could really write a book on all the things wrong with that network.  Suffice it to say, as a media studies major, they represent everything wrong with mass media in this country to me.  At their best, they’re poor journalists.  At their worst, they’re racist criminals.  ARE THEY HERE?  EFF EM.

Nas ft. Keri Hilson – Hero (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos, Politics on July 7th, 2008 by Hyphen

So dope.  Thoughts:

  • I approve of any muay thai reference.
  • Ironic, I also walk around the city with someone playing a bass drum behind me.
  • I heart Keri Hilson.
  • This might be the dopest single this year in terms of straight lyrics.
  • That third verse is one of my favorite verses of the year.
  • When it’s all said and done, Nas could very well be the G.O.A.T..
  • Cop Nas’ album on the 15th!

Nas ft. David Banner – Cops Keep Firing (Remix)

Posted in Artists, Joints, Remixes on June 20th, 2008 by Hyphen

Nasty Nas

Here’s a new version of Nas’ “Cops Keep Firing” featuring a nice little verse from David Banner.  Banner’s dope, but kinda bipolar these days.  He’s clearly talented and makes a lot of ill, socially relevent material.  Then at the same time, he drops generic ish like this.  I guess you have to do both to play ball in this system.  Anyway, peep the remix.  The original appeared on Nas’ n-word tape with Green Lantern…

First up, Ta’Raach & Blu dropped some visuals for “Buy Me Lunch” off their C.R.A.C. album, The Piece Talks. I’m hoping we also get a video for “Love Don’t” at some point…that’s my ish.
