Bon on ne va pas se mentir: je suis pas un spécialiste de hip hop... Moi mon truc, c'est la (pip) pop: God only knows est la plus belle chanson de tous les temps et on n'a jamais fait mieux que le premier LP des Stone Roses. Ceci étant posé, il m'arrive de prendre plaisir [...]

Previously: The 50 Greatest Producers of All-Time #50-31 30. The Alchemist Overlook the Beverly Hills roots for a second, no producer represents raw underground material better than Alan Maman. Stepping on the scene with Cypress Hill affiliates Soul Assassins, the young Alchemist got his feet wet supplying sample-heavy beats to backpacker stalwarts Dilated Peoples. His love of East Coast classics brought Alchemist to NY, and he soon cultivated a [...]
Think of the first James Bond movie you ever saw as a kid. Was the opening action sequence, a staple of the franchise, not the most thrilling thing your young eyes had ever witnessed? In a few short minutes you learned everything you needed to know about 007: he's clever, he's lethal, he has toys cooler than anything your parents let you buy, he has women you can only dream of, and he never ever gets hit by the innumerable bullets shot at him. Those crafty escape or chase sequences set the tone for the rest of the film, bringing [...]

Download: Cannibal Ox - Stress Rap (3:33 Mix) New 3:33 Remix of "Stress Rap" by Cannibal Ox. It goes without saying that Cannibal Ox's Cold Vein is a undisputed classic.That being said we wanted to see what audio madness 3:33 would come up with if we could found the vocals. 3:33 jumped at the opportunity once we happened upon the untouched acapellas and even managed to remix the entire album, but "Stress Rap" will have to do for now.
Hip-hop heads across the spectrum can agree: Cannibal Ox's The Cold Vein is a classic and easily one of the best albums of the past decade . There's no buts about it, though you can take it to the comments section if you'd like to argue otherwise. It's with that in mind that the mysterious band of beatmakers known as 3:33 was nervous about deciding to put their own spin on Can Ox's "Stress Rap". It's not only the fact that Vordul Mega and Vast Air perfectly complemented El-P 's production. It's that the album simply could [...]

Cannibal Ox's Vast Aire recruits Detroit's Guilty Simpson & the U.K.'s Haze for some remix action. Taken from Vast Aire's OX 2010: A Street Odyssey . Check out Guilty Simpson, Sean Price & Black Milk's Random Axe debut Random Axe . via 2db Vast Aire ft. Guilty Simpson & Haze - "The Verdict" -mp3

Sigh... OX 2010 the title just makes me miss Cannibal Ox...moment of silence.. proceeeed! Alright eventhough we miss the captain planetting effect of Vordul and Vast (with our powers combined)...still...haha this is a decent album. They reunite for a track on this disc and we talked about it a tad bit ago..but it leaves us wanting more. Overall, Vast's smart lyrics, some great fts and worthy production make this disc mad spinnable. Cheggerout! Vast Aire , OX 2010 A Street Odyssey , Via Man Bites Dog [...]
Retro backpackers rejoice as Raekwon teams with Cannibal Ox, Kid Cudi goes slow with new Wizard track, Vonnegutt squash a Big Boi original & Nashville MCs Stix Izza, Fate Eastwood & Diablo Supa go chipmunk on Adele's "Rolling in the Deep."

Vast Aire (50% of Cannibal Ox) just dropped his new album , O.X. 2010: A Street Odyssey , Via Man Bites Dog . Dig the single featuring Vordul Mega ( The other 50% of Cannibal Ox) and and Rae Rae The Chef! Vast Aire - Thor's Hammer ( Ft Vordul Mega and Raekwon)

A decade ago, the underground would have sacrificed several hundred cattle to see the union of the Wu and the Oxes. The Cold Vein dropped a decade ago this month, ushering in a new chapter of serrated sewer rap and catch phrases that only your friend who still wears Ecko would understand. Vast and Vordul should've held it down while Rae and Ghost were immobile; instead, we got a single classic and ten years of false starts and failed realizations. I'm not going to harp on how they should just call El and bury their blades. That's obvious [...]

This isn't exactly new Cannibal Ox, but Vordul Mega and Vast Aire have paired up and brought Reakwon along for this new track of Vast Aire's upcoming solo album.

Now, a decade later, the pair team up again with Raekwon for "Thor's Hammer" which appears on Vast Aire's new solo-LP, Ox 2010: A Street Odyssey , which is now available at all retail and online [...]

The brother and fellow editor ~peacelove put me on to this radio show by DJ PhiLLy a few days back, and was mindblowned by the quantity and quality of acts that DJ PhiLLy puts together. Press play and get ready to non-stop dopeness all glued together with dope breaks by DJ PhiLLy. This is a labour of love and it shows in spades.

New music from Cannibal Ox's Vast Aire.
I was recently in Los Angeles. I experienced many things while there, but perhaps none as awesome as Amoeba Records. This new and used record superstore kept me entertained for hours browsing, and I barely made my way through three racks. On this particular day, the section that called my name was their selection of [Read Full Post...]
Best new downloads from the month of June all in one place, guilt-free. 1. Cassettes Won't Listen "Animal Ox" A mash up of Animal Collective and Cannibal Ox. That's all you need to know. Download album via XLR8R 2. Creepoid "Stranger" Mysterious, murky and lo-fi, this Philly duo is like The Velvet Underground with a vaguely southern bent. Download track via What I Heard Today 3. El-P "Meanstreak (In 3 Parts)" From his all-instrumental Weareallgoingtoburninhellmegam ixx3 , you'll hear [...]
