Whoooo…this beat is nefarious.  The homey Sky kills it too.  Hardest rap video containing a frisbee of all time?

Not exactly a happy go-lucky record, but definitely a dope (no pun) track and video from Sky.  Directed by Artemus Jenkins, off Skyzoo’s The Salvation.

One of my favorite songs off Sean P’s Kimbo Slice tape gets the video treatment as part of Court Dunn & NahRight’s One Shot series. Nice little concept and they executed it’s well. The verses are complete fire too. All 3 mc’s kill it, but Sean really bodies the track. Calling out “white women who listen to Lyfe Jennings” was the clincher.

See, even though this video plays off an established theme (Saved By The Bell FTW), it’s still more entertaining than Hype’s big budget production below.  But anyway, how popular are you?

Skyzoo – “Popularity” (Seattle edit)

Little present for y’all that Sky cooked up for us…cop The Salvation in stores now!

Thanks to a pretty massive power outage in the Queen Anne/Magnolia area of Seattle on Sunday night, our recorded archive of SNSS had a bit of a malfunction.  While we lost the first 30 minutes of the show when we got knocked off the air, the back up generators kicked in and we still have the final hour for y’all.  The link below picks up right before the brand new track from Big Boi, so you can still hear great music from Kid Cudi, Bilal, Shad, De La Soul, Warren G, Aloe Blacc, and more.

Shout to the homey Skyzoo calling in from Brooklyn as well.  Be sure you cop his official debut album, The Salvation, in stores today!

Running around like crazy the past few days, but I definitely had to toss the new video from the big homey S-K-Y, Z-O-O up on TAOD.  It’s the first look from his upcoming album, The Salvation, and it’s produced by 9th Wonder.  Dopeness.

I hate them for reasons to numerous to even begin to list, but PackFM, Masta Ace, Sadat X, Poison Pen, Skyzoo, Stimuli, Peter Rosenberg, Iron Solomon, B-Real, and more do a good job giving their opinions.  For me, the biggest problem is that everyone’s a rapper.  Most folks just need to stop.

Thumbs down @ the shot to Lupe though.  I suppose his public persona puts a lot of people off, but seeing as how he raps better than 99% of the MC’s in the game, I’m fine with him classifying himself as an “artist” rather than a “rapper.”  I’d actually agree with that.  Anybody can be a rapper these days.  Few rappers can be artists.  Just my 2 cents.
