DOWNLOAD Ice Cube - Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It (Remix) ft. Scarface & Nas (MP3) When the original came out I right away thought this would've been a great beat for Scarface and lookie here. Nas makes an appearance as well. Via Eskay .

Is there any argument that music and film are perhaps the two most celebrated, recognized and lucrative forms of artistic expression in our popular culture? Is there any argument that they also generate more arguments than all other popular artistic mediums combined? So why then, despite our obsessive dissecting, debating, analyzing and chronicling of the two, doesn't there exist a comprehensive list detailing the intersection of music and film? Somewhat related, are you sick of us asking rhetorical questions? Fair enough, we get it. Less questions, more solutions! In this, our first installment of [...]
The Blacklist at SXSW 2007 - more photos... photo by Jeff Barringer - staff photographer SXSW made their big list announcement today as expected, with a whopping 1594 bands in all, surpassing the band count at ACL Fest, Bonaroo, Coachella, Jazz Fest, and Langerado combined. There are at least 20 bands alone with the word "Black" in their name. Think about it, almost 1600 artists and bands, all looking for a place to park the van at once. So many bands that musicians [...]

At SXSW 2007 I saw 47 bands in five days . I don't know if I will be able to match that number at SXSW 2008, but it's going to be one hell of a time. I have been keeping my eye on the list of confirmed/rumored bands that has been in circulation, and so far things are looking pretty good. You can check out a comprehensive list of SXSW bands at Club Kingsnake , read festival updates over at Austinist , get party info at Done Waiting , and as we get [...]
Robin Trower at La Zona Rosa - more photos... photo by Jeff Barringer - staff photographer If it wasn't for Austin's anti-smoking ordinance tonight could have been 1974 all over again as Austin's Van Wilks and the legendary Robin Trower (founding member of Procol Harum) burned down the house at Austin's La Zona Rosa. During Trower's roaring 20+ minute epic "Bridge of Sighs", all that was missing was the roiling clouds of stale, cheap, pot smoke wafting onstage. Don't let Robin's age fool you, his fingers are as [...]
I would need to check with Dough for clarification but i believe one could only refer to Junebug as a "mark" while he was still alive, but i could be wrong. Either way, another fine showing last night . mark-ass (adj) Very pathetic, characteristic of a "mark", or one who is easily owned or taken down. The worst type of bitch, one who is a "mark", which means that he/she is a target that is [...]

Today was a good day. In my last college football related post of the weekend, Chase Daniel and the Missouri Tigers had a great night in Kansas City with a decisive win over Kansas. Daniel connected on more than 80% of his passes for over 361 yards and three touchdowns ...

Ice Cube - Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It For those who think that Ice Cube fell off, he really hasn't. His last album did was certified Gold, which maybe be below adequacy on a major label. But remember kids that he released it independently, and you get more than %10 to %15 off the album without paying back the label promotional money. Thats gangsta.

After witnessing Scotter's recent cry for help , lamenting the lack of a proper sequel to Beck's magnificently funky Midnite Vultures , I grew concerned and did what any good friend would do: I consulted with a professional. Through word of mouth I encounted a nice Jewish doctor by the name of Funkenstein, who was quickly able to identify Scotter's troubling symptoms: restless legs, agitation, eye dilation, hip gyration, back aches, and heart breaks. In layman's terms, he had the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie blues. Dr. Funkenstein, being ever so preoccupied and dedicated to the [...]

I didn't really have a theme for Old School Monday's this week. Well, my theme was simply to post on time this week , but that isn't really a theme. But then I remembered that during my review of Grand Analog's new album , I said this: Social Butterfly sounds like Strobelite Honey mixed with Parliament and/or Funkadelic. Nothing more needs to be said after that I'd wager. I don't know if that even makes sense, but it's enough to drum up an Old School post wouldn't you say? Leading [...]

Ice Cube , einnig þekktur sem O'Shea Jackson, var reiðari rímnahlunkur á sínum fyrri árum, áður en hann flutti til Hollywood og slóst við anakondur í S-Ameríku og fleira hræðilegt. Á plötunni 'AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted' frá 1990 var hann fjúkandi reiður með froðublautt hár, og rímaði sem svo oft áður um slæma meðhöndlun þeldökkra íbúa Norður Ameríku. Góð plata frá góðum manni, en eitt besta lagið finnst mér þetta: Ice Cube - Endangered Species (remix) Listen / Buy: GEMM / eBay / Amazon.com [...]

In the first installment, I present t he 10 Greatest Rappers to not have an album make the Top 25 List and my theories why they didn't make the cut.

Here is some old stuff to keep things fresh . In the 1990's, where I grew up these were some of the songs that everyone was listening to. If you are alive, and you're from this planet, then you have heard this one before. Yes sir, that's what they call double Platinum. In 1991 Summertime reached was the #1 Rap Single on the billboard Hot 100. 1991 DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince - "Summertime" [...]
