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 [...]

Das Racist's free 2010 mixtapes had critics and fans scratching their heads over whether the trio were for real. The release of their official album 'Relax', while simultaneously resembling a series of elaborate in-jokes, suggests the trio are genuine enough. The Brooklyn band spit over a series of jagged beats produced by the likes of [...]

With less than a week remaining in 2011, it's finally that time again for Bears and Bullets to unleash its 25 favorite songs of the year. As it was for the previous three years, there are certain rules that qualify a song for the list. 1.) The song must have been released during the calendar year. 2.) Even if the song was technically released during 2011, if it was leaked prior to January 1, 2011, then it also does not qualify for the list. Last year, Vampire Weekend , in a decision that [...]
Even in an era when rappers rarely share studios with their collaborators, emailing in their contributions instead, the art of the guest verse is alive and well. It's still a point of pride for one rapper to swoop in and steal a track's spotlight away from another. And that sense of friendly competition is still one of the things that makes rap so fun to talk about; we rarely agree on who won what. So here's one man's opinion on 20112s 10 greatest examples of track thievery. Leave your own favorites in the comments section below. Read More...

El-P got a little cray and decided to mash up Metallica and Prince after holding a public poll on his Twitter. Based on "who the most anti-downloading/digital music musicians" were, El-P decided to put together Metallica's "Unforgiven II" and Prince's "Purple Rain" for a mindfucking mash-up that is as surprising as it is good. El-P - "The Unforgiven II/Purple Rain (Metallica and Prince Mash-Up)" ( CoS )

El-P didn't even put out an album this year and he still owned it. He reunited with Company Flow , dropped a new track , remixed it with Rush , and appeared with Mr. Muthafuckin eXquire & Friends on " The Last Huzzah ", which landed on our Top 50 Songs of the Year . It ain't over yet. As unlikely as the pair may be, Prince and Metallica just got the El-P mashup treatment. El-P had this to say about the track: "I was asking people who follow me on Twitter [...]

![Jabee Ft. Yung Jones – Ghetto [Music]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3874123_lg.jpg)
Before this Ghetto Life, becomes the Death of Me.. It's safe to say that the invention and progression of the internet has shaped a new upbringing for society. Days where the set you claim and earning your stripes aren't totally nonexistent, but today's youth are definitely concerned with other things. The difference between 802s and 902s babies are sagging jeans and skinny jeans, set trippin' and twitter beef. OKC MC Jabee debuts his newest single Ghetto featuring Yung Jones . Produced by DJ SemaJ , the instrumental has [...]
El-P has a new album coming out soon called Cancer for Cure . The MC has just released a new version of the album's first single "Drones over BKLYN" – essentially a remix of the track that incorporates a sample of Rush's "Tom Sawyer," appropriately dubbed "Rush Over BKLYN".

![[Listen] El-P - "Rush Over BKLYN"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3823844_lg.jpg)
In support of his longtime friend Mr. Dibbs, who has recently become ill, Company Flow head El-P has reworked his recently released track " Drones Over BKLYN ." By joining forces with Legitmix, a platform that allows DJs to legally sample music, El-P has reworked the track by laying the rhymes over a sample of Rush's "Tom Sawyer." The result: "Rush Over BKLYN." You can listen to the rework below, courtesy of Prefix , and purchase it at Legitmix 's website, with all proceeds going towards Mr. Dibb's hospital bills. As well, you can read what [...]

This new El-P track, stemming from " Drones Over Bklyn ," except with a redone beat that samples Rush's "Tom Sawyer," comes courtesy of a new technology called Legitmix. Simply put, this technology puts the whole sample-clearing mess to rest. It's still new and I can see a few reasons why it might have a hard time taking off, but here's the idea: "When a consumer purchases "Rush Over Bkyln", the browser-based Legitmix software searches their computer for the "Tom Sawyer" track. If they don't have it they can purchase it from Legitmix or any online [...]

Recognize the title? If you do, you may recall El-P 's "Drones Over Brooklyn," part of Adult Swim 's 2011 Singles Program . This version has El-P versing over Rush's " Tom Sawyer " (you know, "do-da-do-do-do, do-da-do-da-do-do) - legally, might I add. The mix was a sample-based push put through Legitmix , which lets DJ's and others legally sample things, for whatever reason I haven't figured out. Also, BUY the single. It'll help fellow DJ Mr. Dibbs who has liver disease. Listen below.

LEGITMIX ANNOUNCES FIRST OFFICIAL SAMPLE-BASED SINGLE RELEASE BY ACCLAIMED HIP HOP ARTIST EL-P. PROCEEDS TO GO TO MR. DIBBS RAPPER/PRODUCER USES REVOLUTIONARY TECHNOLOGY TO SELL HIS NEW TRACK SAMPLING RUSH'S CLASSIC "TOM SAWYER" Producers, remixers and DJs who want to sell their sample-based tracks face the often-insurmountable task of clearing the copyrighted music they sample. Legitmix provides an alternative by enabling consumers to recreate on the binary level a sample-based track using their copy of the original music. Since its debut, music industry insiders, copyright professors and musicians alike have been fascinated with the [...]
