![[Playlist] A Meaty Vacationing Mixture](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4052057_lg.jpg)
Hello friends and others. I am off on a mini-vacation tomorrow (see above picture). When we get back from Mexico the plan is to finish packing up our house and move to Vancouver...finally. Life will be pretty wild over the next few weeks so I highly doubt that there will be much new music posted up here. As a present, here is a playlist that I will be listening to while sitting by the pool, eating tacos, drinking chi-chi's and playing some serious Scrabble. Till then... 1. Dirty Gold - California Sunrise [...]

Since the whole idea of "selling out" is about as relevant and contemporary as woolly mammoths and the printed press, why not make a quid? Besides, nobody buys records anymore and staying in is the new going out. Anyway, that brief - albeit obtuse and conceited - rant aside, this is actually something I'm excited about. Jamie Hewlett (the visual side of Gorillaz) has already designed four trainers for Converse, so the pairing starts to make a lot of sense. To coincide with the four special edition trainers, Converse have [...]
While I am a fan of every track on this list, this is not a typical "best-of" or "KG's favorites" list. These tracks may not be the first bit of recognition the artists received, but each song I've chosen here has had an immense impact on the artist's career following the single. So think of this more as a "Put Them On The Map" list. [...]

Earlier today Murdoc the front animation-man announced who the guest collaborators were for the new Gorillaz track via Soundcloud . The two lucky artists are Andre 3000( Outkast ) and James Murphy( LCD Soundsystem ). The group of men will be releasing "DoYaThing" in two weeks on February 23, 2012 and will be available for a free download on that day via Converse.com . Anytime you get 3 musical geniuses together you know something brilliant is going to happen and anytime James Murphy is working on something new I want to know. Having the brainchild of LCD Soundsystem team up with Gorillaz [...]

Gorillaz are coming back in a big way in 2012. The band announced, via the Twitter feed of Murdoc Niccals , that they would be teaming up with Andre 3000 of Outkast and James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem for a brand new track called "Do Ya Thing." The song will be released on February 23rd over at Converse's website . The song will be released for the show company's "Three Artists. One Song" series. Consequence of Sound adds that in addition to the song, a 12-minute explicit version will be [...]
![Internet Gold: Outkast – Kim & Cookie (Interlude) [Video]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4048543_lg.jpg)
This is why I love the Intertent. These are the type of things you only find on accident—kind of like those random HBO movies you get sucked into at 4:30 a.m., that actually turn out to be really good. Anyway, these two guys absolutely nailed Outkast's classic "Kim & Cookie" skit from Stankonia . I literally busted out laughing at the "Dick so shawt" part and the dude with the black hat had me in tears with his facial expressions. Yup, this was the perfect way to start my Thursday morning.

This is major. After a week plus of speculation and debate, we now know who will record along side the Gorillaz in this latest installment of Converse's "Three Artists. One Song" campaign. Many guessed that a member of Outkast would fill in at least one of these mysterious silhouettes from an earlier image . Those calling for André 3000 will be very pleased. While it is unfortunate that his counterpart Big Boi will not be participating, former LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy should more than suffice as [...]
Words by David D., Greg Whitt, Raj, Beware & Justin Tinsley Art: Miss Dimplez Hip-Hop is full of misogyny and sex acts with the most random, nameless women. But sometimes, [...]
Here we give you another hip-hop playlist to just chill out to since it seems like you guys like the first installment we put up awhile back. By the way... Swamp People is one of the craziest shows on TV. Anyways, enjoy: A$AP Rocky - Houston Old Head The Roots - Make My (Feat. Big KRIT, Dice Raw) Common - The People Dom Kennedy - On The Way Home Y Not [...]

Appears alongside Adrien Brody and Gael García Berna.

Happy 37th bgay to the BIG BOI . The he-rapper, who's been kinda too busy to re-unite the OUTKAST and give us a new LP, was born this way February 1 1975.
Zamn! Anyone who's ever had the right amount of elixir flowing through the veins, coupled with visions of someone they deem to be highly attractive knows the power of "SpottieOttieDopaliscious." [...]
There has been a ton of great music dropping over the past week or so, and I am still getting around to sharing it here on Potholes. This fabulous Hypnotic Brass Ensemble cover of Outkast's horn-heavy "Spottieottiedopalicious" is one of those pieces. Ignited by the fury of brass, this Outkast original is brought to new live heights. I'd love to see these guys continue to push the limits of hip-hop, possibly with the release of a new cover album in the near future. Hit the skip to hear the cover.

Hypnotic Brass Ensemble - Spottie by ArtDontSleep Sly little drop from the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, a cover of Outkast's ' Spottieottiedopaliscious'. What can be said that you wouldn't expect from HBE, it's a jazz funk orchestra reworking with a bit of hip hop erm.... awww man I ain't using that word. You know what I mean

The good folks over at ArtDontSleep sent over this track to celebrate their booking of Hypnotic Brass Ensemble for their event with EVFA "Homage". If you're in the Los Angeles area on February 23rd make sure to stop by Exchange LA for the event. Hypnotic Brass Ensemble is made up of eight brothers from the south side of Chicago. They're compositions are incredible and their cover of "Spottieottiedopaliscious" by OutKast is no exception. Hypnotic Brass Ensemble - Spottie by ArtDontSleep
Cry Wolf has been featured on Earmilk before, whether it's from their deep bass remix of "The Suburbs" or their poppy twist on Cherub's " Love You Right" . The duo from from New York came out with a new dubstep track that gives the original catchy single by Outkast a complete new look. With a intro that brings one hell of a kick this remix starts off sounding like a heavy "Glitch Mob" remix with a deep bass kicking that sends you shivers. After breaking down the vocals then mixed with a fast pace beat [...]

On their focused debut, Dallas' Paris Pershun and Slim Gravy of A.Dd+ are the rapper and the poet, the spawn of UGK and OutKast, combining street and cerebral. When Pigs Fly might be the best hip-hop album Dallas has ever released. DOWNLOAD A.Dd+ - WHEN PIGS FLY ON BANDCAMP In terms of innovation "When Pigs Fly" is up there with the best the South has to offer. More and more free projects are now entering that top quality album standard and A.Dd + are no exception to this rule. If [...]

This is one of the most epic mashups I've ever heard. Ill Poetic had the vision to mashup Outkast and Nine Inch Nails. Who would have thought of matching such polar opposites? It's kind of like getting to watch the Super Bowl and game seven of the NBA finals at the same time. This has been out for a while, but I've had it on repeat for a few days so I figured I'd share. <p>&lt;a href=" http://illpoetic.bandcamp.com/ album/ill-poetic-presents-outk ast-meets-nin-nine-inch-nalien s"&gt;Ill Poetic Presents: Outkast Meets NIN &amp;quot;Nine Inch [...]
