'get busy' is dope but lol @ someone carrying the fader in the vid

supposedly it was shot in The Fader's office. but yeah good song. (xpost)

also big lols:

About 24 hours after “Birthday Girl” was leaked to the web, a ‘homemade’ video turned up on youtube, detailing some little cracker girls 18th birthday party. It’s a delightful affair, signifying that special moment in a young woman’s life when she can finally leave home to have sex with members of The Roots and/or the chubby guy from The Fall Out Boys. Quaint. But the video is just a little too polished and a little too timely. Wheels got to turning and the ever so brilliant webosphere collectively suspectively agreed that the youtube user Fall0utG1rl4ever was likely the work of Def Jam or Cornerstone, the promotions company that is working The Roots record. When not sending me ebayable mixtapes, Cornerstone also funds an in house music publication, Fader Magazine. And guess which magazine’s blog oh so innocently ‘broke’ the faux fan “Birthday Girl” video? Right.

i've been listening to big tymers all night. i wish you guys could hear this one hot 8 brass band tune where the horns lay into that 'this is how we do' hook.

the most i hope to get out of a roots album these days is one or two great tracks, a few clever production ideas, great drumming, and a couple of dice raw verses.

it's nice that Static got to be in the video before he passed away, at least.

they had to be sucking on lollipops huh

oh god guitar playing

T-Wayne 3000

so are we just gonna pretend that the synth melody isn't exactly like the one from "Low"???

well, now that you've removed from the scales from our eyes, we can hardly go on ignoring the truth.

so are we just gonna pretend that the synth melody isn't exactly like the one from "Low"??? this song doesn't exist?

i kinda like this actually, nh

i don't hate the song itself-- and tbh if this was some ray-j song or something i think i'd be alright with it-- but like, i mean going from go dj to fireman to this is making me all ;(

not like it wasnt awfully predictable though

"throw ya gunz" by onyx is a really good song.

xpost? I'm kinda glad he's coming with something like this first. It shows that he's at least confident about the rest of the album, enough to risk releasing this thing and all the ridicule that may come with it. Better some huge club pop hit than something that would inevitably flop like "Gossip" and cause the album to suffer the same fate as Hell Hath No Fury...i mean that is unless you don't really care about those things in which case it would have been better to just not record "Lollipop" in the first place...

that all rests on the assumption that it's going to be a hit...

although they went way overboard with the autotune on this....ughhhh

seriously

the guitar posing is dumb.

here is jim jones walking down Melrose shouting out his gang and trying to ollie:

dude is getting a little weird...

I dunno, I've gotten the sense from interviews that less than "confident" dude is sorta scattershot about his marketing.

hey Alex in Laureltimore what's the word on shows happening tonight. i saw a flyer on the ground that said the lox @ club one?? must have been old cuz i cant find anything on it online

I dunno, that's news to me! but Styles P. just played a solo show at some little club in Dundalk 3 weeks ago, I almost went but flaked, and I heard later that he was there but there wasn't much of an audience. I dunno why D-Block would come down to Baltimore to play an underpromoted show, but if they did it once they'd probably do it again. I've never been in Club One, though, doesn't that shit have a dress code?

that all rests on the assumption that it's going to be a hit...

it might be but my point is that 'fireman' and 'go dj' were both pretty successful-- both in the top 40 go dj in the top 20 if im not mistaken-- and they really make no concessions for pop radio and they arent songs you know you're gonna skip on the album (both are highlights even) and i can't imgaine myself listening to 'lollipop' more than twice if carter III ever drops

Big Boi’s Ambitious Ballet

"Big Boi’s been talking about putting on a hip hop ballet with the Atlanta Ballet for about a year, and it’s finally come to fruition. The ballet, called big, will include music by Big Boi, Sleepy Brown, and others mixed with classical music."

his love of kate bush is finally showing : )

First Harlem rapper Cam'Ron proclaimed his love for Curb Your Enthusiasm, now this: Late next month, Washington, D.C. up-and-comer Wale plans to release The Mixtape About Nothing, an entire set of hip-hop cuts inspired by Seinfeld. (Check out a preview of the mixtape's cover art at left.) "I think I've seen every episode, like, 30 times," Wale said when EW.com called him at the NYC studio of producer Mark Ronson (Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen) yesterday. Wale says he's particularly partial to the show's controversial 1997-98 swan song. "The last season is very underrated. A lot of Seinfeld fans be like, 'Oh, the last season is so over-the-top.' I'm like, it's about reinventing!"

Wale played us an early snippet of a song called "Hype" over the phone. The meditation on celebrity opens with a lengthy sample from one of Jerry Seinfeld's Season 7 stand-up monologues: "I love it when people are complimented on something they're wearing, and they accept the compliment as if it was about them..." Wale also exclusively revealed to EW.com that his team recently convinced Seinfeld alum Julia Louis-Dreyfus to record a brief skit (or "drop") for the mixtape. "She’s not [in character as] Elaine — she’s Julia Louis-Dreyfus," explains Wale, who hasn't had a chance to hear the skit yet. "It's something crazy, something comical." (Louis-Dreyfus' reps did not reply to requests for comment.) No word yet on whether Wale's tunes inspired the actress to break into that notorious "Elaine dance"...

no constanzo

Wale can flow and it's nice to see someone repping D.C. in a kind of big way, but the fact that he just signed a deal w/ Mark Ronson's label probably dooms his album to be insufferably corny.

i like the one joint i heard where he raps all this seinfeld shit and ends with 'i hate rap like kramer hates blacks' lolol

if its good enough for jeru its good enough for this dude
