VH1’s Sew Good, my records and Kelis…

A few weeks back I posted up a picture of some record covers that I sent out to NYC to be used for the set of an upcoming VH1 show and didn’t have much more info to give. Well now I’m back with the info, the show is called Sew Good, Kelis is hosting and to quote some publicist, “From the executive producers of Egotrip’s White Rapper show and in association with Automatic Films comes a crazy phat urban fashion design show for the VH1 network.” CRAZY PHAT YO!!! But really though, the show looks super interesting, I’ve know I’ve always wanted to know what goes on behind the scenes before I buy some dope gear. I don’t know when it airs, but it should be soon, so keep an eye out.
My record covers look great like this. Maybe I’ll have to do something like that at home.
The rest of the set looks good too, big up to my fellow Colorado homies Akomplice (that’s their black tee on the left) . Big ups to my good friend Eric Maitrepierre on the pics & set design.

I don’t usually talk about the shows I go to…

But I gotta mention last week’s ridiculous Rakim/Ghostface/Brother Ali show (props to DJ Styles & Fashion for the pics & Chonz on the list, Radio Bums in this). I’ve seen Ghost perform less inspired sets in the past and heard rumors that Rakim used vocal tracks, but both of them came correct for the show and CRUSHED it (maybe the dope live band, the Rhythm Roots All-Stars, helped inspire them). Seeing Rakim energized by the band was just AMAZING, dude is the god MC, “not on a list” (c) the 18th Letter, and finally seeing him in person was powerful. There’s still a couple more dates on the tour, definitely check it out if it comes to your town.

P.S. That’s me & Ghost backstage, you’d be cheesing all goofy too if you just asked him to hold up his chain for a better picture…ahahahahaha…I’m an idiot.

My records are on TV!!!

Well not yet, but soon. I recently sent a couple of boxes of record covers out to NYC for the set of an upcoming VH1 hip hop/fashion series that looks dope. The show has a real interesting concept (I don’t know if I’m allowed to give out all the details yet) and should be out soon (I’ll post more details soon). Anyways, I don’t really have a good reason to post this other than the fact I’m a record nerd (serato is great and all but DJs with no records get the gas face) and get amused by the randomness that is my life, maybe some of you guys checkin the site care.
P.S. I’ll be back soon with some real news. Real big news. BIG. NEWS.

I’m workin on this blog for Basementalism…

So Basementalism hit me up to contribute to their blog and since my Saturdays are too busy to do guest sets on the show as much as I use to these days (sorry guys), I had to get down. I wrote my first entry last week and I’ll be adding more randomly from here on out so bookmark the page and stay tuned…

P.S. my Spitkicker blog is coming soon. It’s been taking a little longer than expected, but I’ve got some extra crazy concepts for it that should be worth the wait.

Black Milk Interview: “You can’t make that real shit no more, scratch it/and take the easy way out and make some club records…”

Black Milk is on some next shit. He’s definitely one of the best new artists (he’s a producer/MC) that I’ve heard in years. From the Dilla co-sign to new joints with Pharoahe Monch to his own blossoming career as a rapper, Black has been paying dues behind the scenes for the last few years and is set to take things to the next level with his solo album, ‘Popular Demand’, set to drop on 3/13 (in honor of his Detroit area code). Download the interview and hear about how he linked up with Slum Village, workin with Jay Dee, the unreleased BR Gunna album, how he came up with the name Black Milk & more.

*This interview is from late December, so all the references to next year are talkin about 2007. Also, a short version of the interview originally aired on Basementalism Radio in January.

* Limited time only – Download the project for free on Sundays only, starting in the early morning, enjoy…

Nas “Hip Hop Is Dead” Video Pics

The video looks crazy…Props to Eric Maitrepierre aka France on the pics and all the homeys involved in the video, Tyson, Mikal, Jesse and Ulysses… looks like it’s gonna come out dope…

If you other sites are gonna use my pics, give me some credit…otherwise, feel free to post these around…

“Time’s most influential was impressive/especially since I wasn’t in the artist section”

I keep hearing cats talkin about Jigga fallin off. Personally I’m fine with “Show Me What You Got” (it’s as good of a lead single as “Change Clothes” and way better than “03 Bonnie & Clyde, his last two lead singles) and the other songs I’ve heard have been dope too. Anyways, between “Lost Ones” and these verses over Kanye’s “Grammy Family” beat from Funk Flex’s show (I guess he’s not quite as useless these days as I thought), even the haters should be quieted by now.
