![[Double Cup Addiction] Juicy J – U Trippy Mane (feat. Kreayshawn)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3896186_lg.jpg)
After a few hours of more careful examination on this Blue Dream & Lean mixtape, I realize I nearly forgot to mention this other video featuring Kreayshawn which, you know ... is definitely one of the highlights, both of the mixtape and of her short but illustrious career in rap. These are not complicated songs , they're all about getting high as fuck which, if you are reading this, you either really like to do or you'd like to really like to do. Or, maybe, you used [...]
![[Mixtape] Juicy J – Blue Dream & Lean](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3896107_lg.jpg)
HOLD UP A MINUTE, WHAT? What did you just ask me? Oh, my bad... I was just, you know... I was too busy not really giving a fuck what anyone was asking me right then because I'm too busy uh you know, just .. listening to the much-anticipated Blue Dream & Lean mixtape from Memphis' own Juicy J . Hosted by DJ Scream and produced by Lex Luger , you got guestos from Project Pat, Wiz Khalifa, A$AP Rocky, Kreayshawn, 2 Chainz, Alley Boy, Casey Veggies and [...]
![[Blogger Bandwagon] The Roots – Undun (Full Album Stream)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3895944_lg.jpg)
If everyone jumped off a bridge, would you? Only if the bridge everyone jumped off was as good as the new album from The Roots , undun , due out on 6 December. Better to share this stream with you than punk out on serving up webrips. I don't need to stay in your loop to stay in the loop or scoop you. Holla.

![[Unreleased] Amy Winehouse – Halftime](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3893915_lg.jpg)
When first reported in July of 2010, imaginations began to stir: what brilliance would spring forth from the collaboration of Questlove , Salaam Remi and Amy Winehouse ? I'd say this is a pretty good window into where it was headed, and I would have loved to hear more. (via Swift.FM / Questlove ) Amy Winehouse - Halftime
![[Remix!] Foster The People – Call It What You Want (Treasure Fingers Preparty Radio Edit)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3893513_lg.jpg)
Treasure Fingers gets underneath this Foster The People track and sets off the preparty in style. Call it what I want? I'll call it exceedingly fresh .
![[Video] The Weeknd – The Knowing](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3886069_lg.jpg)
Mikael Colombu heads on a wild ride to Ethiopia with The Weeknd ? That's what this video is, and goes deep. As you might recall, his track appears on the House of Balloons mixtape, but the video is brand new. Enjoy. The Weeknd - The Knowing
![[Songwriters] Sharon Van Etten – Serpents](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3884837_lg.jpg)
One of the two or three best acts I got to see at Bonnaroo 2011 was an early-in-the-day performance from the disarmingly wonderful and completely understated Sharon Van Etten . Her first album, 20102s half-mockingly entitled Epic , was (it turns out) actually befitting of such a name; something in every piece of those 7 songs could rip out your heart and shove it back in your chest before your tears had hit the ground. Her new album Tramp arrives in [...]

![[Poetry] William S. Burroughs – A Thanksgiving Prayer](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3883307_lg.jpg)
It's kind of narrowing and frightening to think that things the great American poet & author William S. Burroughs intended as a barb at the things we celebrate on Thanksgiving, in his briliant monotone delivery of "A Thanksgiving Prayer", are actually being repeated by people with sincerity in 2011. The Fred Phelps's, Rick Perry's and Michele Bachmann's of the world seem even more delusional and self-evolutionary when you consider the following piece. The video, directed by Gus Van Sant , is a simple and agile affair, allowing the words and music which underpin [...]
![[Disceaux Nouveaux] Escort – Cocaine Blues (HOFF Remix ft Pase Rock)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3881381_lg.jpg)
Cocaine, it is said, is a helluva drug. And on "Cocaine Blues", Brooklyn disco aficionados Escort decided to bust out a few lines for everyone at the party. Yeah, they spent hours and hours ironing out the creases in their permanent-press double-knit leisure suits. The girls worked overtime making their bubblegum lip gloss look & taste perfect, put on those damn hot pants & satin jackets, feathered their hair, and gassed up the Delorean for a trip back in time, cruising on downtown to The Roxy .

![[Exclusive] PAT24seven x Skewby x Pule – Other Sh!t](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3880902_lg.jpg)
I had a whole thing written up about this track, but at the last minute I decided I'm not gonna run it - this time out, I want to hear from my readers . To me, the flows from every one - PAT24seven , Skewby and Pule - are dope, and Web (of The Machine) 's production & beats are solid. Like it / hate it / love it? What do you think? I do have a comments section for a reason. [...]
![[ #WZRD @wizardcud @DotDaGenius #NextLevel ] WZRD (Kid Cudi & Dot Da Genius) – Brake](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3878739_lg.jpg)
Look, I don't have a lot to say about Kid Cudi 's previous forays into music because, while I was always impressed, I thought he had something else going on. I thought he was great on How To Make It In America on HBO. I saw him at the Red Bull Moon Tower at SXSW 2009 and that was fresh as I recall. But really, I began going through my own non-committal phase with hip-hop and so I didn't pay him much attention before he peaked, started fucking with liquid cocaine [...]
![[Dreamer/Believer] Common – Celebrate](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3878591_lg.jpg)
Few albums are as widely anticipated as the forthcoming Common album The Dreamer/The Believer , and after hearing this new track he dropped today called "Celebrate" it's easy to see why. Featuring a lush re-working of the classic 702s song "Celebrate Me Home" by Kenny Loggins as the beat, this is how it's done properly. New party anthem? Believe it. [ Pre-Order Common's The Dreamer / The Believer from Amazon (released 20 December 2011) ]
![[Re-Edit] Radiohead – Everything (in it's right edit)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3878381_lg.jpg)
Here's an unexpected, daft and simply terrific Radiohead re-edit of "Everything In It's Right Place" which might be new or ... might not be? Either way, I love it.
![[Beale Street Music Festival 2012] Help Me Bring The Black Keys + The Weeknd to BSMF 2012.](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3874122_lg.jpg)
Seemingly without fanfare, the Beale Street Music Festival launched a contest this year seeking persons who want to "Be The Agent" for Beale Street Music Festival 2012 . Most of the time, these contests are merely vanity-driven adventures meant to create a false illusion of opportunity for the winner; a meet-and-greet with a band, an autograph session, a chance at having one's photo taken with a famous singer or rapper. Not the case, here: if you read the fine print of this particular contest, it's actually got some meat and it makes sense for the [...]
![[Remix!] Kavinsky – Nightcall (Anthony Atcherley Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3874097_lg.jpg)
I figure it's been a while since I posted any proper remixes on the blog , this one arrived just in time for me to notice, listen, and add it to the queue via osmosis. Some records are so instantly strong that no matter what personality you add or take away from them in a remix, the bare essence shines through. Kavinsky 's mind-bogglingly straight-forward take on new wave in the form of the song "Nightcall" dominates the soundtrack to the movie Drive with it's authenticity crossing waves with [...]
![[Video] WU LYF – WE BROS](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3864645_lg.jpg)
The continuing saga of Manchester's WU LYF and their exacting phenomenon of a 2011 release, Go Tell Fire to the Mountain , is one that I'm following with less casual interest and more excitement as the year progresses. This video for the song "WE BROS", directed by Sam Pilling , doesn't reveal itself until the end. You should, of course, watch it all the way through.
![[Video] Common – Sweet](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3864128_lg.jpg)
Controversial? New video? Common? Am I seeing this right? Well, this was filmed in Haiti, and the track ... well, it's definitely not what I'm used to from Common. He went H-A-R-D.
![[RizzaP] Kid Sister featuring Danny Brown – Gucci Rag Top (Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3863887_lg.jpg)
Kid Sister is back up in the cut with a new EP called 'Kiss & Tell' out on 29 November and apparently, it's full of club bangers, workouts and, yes, RAPS . In this video, Kid Sis teams up with fellow Fool's Gold label mate Danny Brown to deliver that flow on "Gucci Rag Top" & she keeps it 100 sharing verses with Riff Raff on the Sinden/5kinAndBone5 -produced "Hide N Seek" . Just in time for the holidays, Melissa threw on a batch [...]
![[The Jump Off] G-Side Record Release x Cities Aviv at Hi-Tone 11.11.11](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3855182_lg.jpg)
Huntsville's trillest twosome G-Side kicks off their tour with Cities Aviv and guests (including the legendary Memphix crew's very own Redeye Jedi ) at the Hi-Tone in Memphis tonight [info] and, also, it's their record release party for the album Island which is available thru via Slow Motion Soundz . I know for a fact there will be some serious special guest action in the house at this sure-to-be-packed show, but I don't think I'm allowed to say who it is. So, just show up [...]
