Sound FX is growing on me with every new track that I receive from the group. The latest, "Type Love", is off of Things Fall Apart: A Prelude to the Sunset LP. The track is all about the relationship that people yearn for; the type of love that is give and take, unwarranted, tolerant, and most definitely mutual. "Type Love" is yet another example of how Sound FX chooses to handle more mature themes in their music, setting them apart from many of the other MCs coming out of the west, check "The Greatest" . "Type Love" is a Thelonious Martin production, [...]

the trailer for the 50 CENT 's new film THINGS FALL APART has gone online, not viral yet. the film is "a drama centered around a promising football running back during his senior year in college who falls ill" and as a result the he-rapper (slash he-actor) loses a considerable amount of weight (and as a result will prolly get an Oscar nomination). wotyougot
Lucky Ian got to see Emeralds and Arp the other night, and he made sure to call and brag afterwards about all the cool merch he bought. Kind man that he is, he offered to share his copy of the limited-edition tour CDr that was being sold by Mark McGuire, about whom you might have read (good things!) yesterday. Mr. McGuire is the axe-slinging member of Emeralds, but he's also an electronic knob twiddler, vocalist and tape manipulator. His middle name is Daniel. Go figure! Things Fall Apart takes is name, of course, from that [...]
The Roots - How I Got Over MMMMM The Roots have released nine, count 'em nine, full-length studio albums. They've also released two EPs and two live albums. Before I was ever a fan, they were playing house gigs at poetry slams, forging relationships with the likes of Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Common, and more. On top of that, legendary Roots crew percussion man ?uestlove was the lynchpin for all the [...]
no it's not a creature from district 9 it's your boy Fiddy! move over Christian Bale. apparently our boy Curtis dropped from 215 to 160 lbs by adhering to a liquid diet and doing 3 hours of treadmill walking per day. the G Unit rapped shed the weight for his upcoming movie "Things Fall Apart," about a football player stricken with cancer. he also had all his tattoos removed. said 50's weed carrier Tony Yayo: "50 doesn't party, he doesn't drink. For his new film, the guy was, like, 130 [...]
International zone coastin' a while ago, I saw this over @ KN's and it was the first time I'd seen a picture of the actual tape posted anywhere in this digital age. The mix itself? Had it, but seeing the actual tape spurred me to thinking "Man I need to post that joint." Well, I forgot obviously. But while letting my iTunes shuffle the other day, it popped up in the rotation. Boom! Here you go. The beauty of it is Jazzy Jeff's providing the pace to The [...]
HANK ALTOGETHER: Slowly, but surely, this Built to Spill record ( There is No Enemy , due 10/6 on Warner Bros.) is unfolding itself to the internet. Like a new bride, the boys from Idaho's latest track "Things Fall Apart" begins slowly and begins to pick up speed. The resulting track is more "The Weather" than the amped up lines of the last record, You In Reverse . Martsch and boys will still, probably, have their riff machine plugged in for the other tracks. But with both "Hindsight" and "Things [...]
Lonnie Lynn & the legendary Roots band doing a spirited rendition of "Act Too..." live at yesterday's Hennessy Artistry series in the Chi. Props to Andrew for the camerawork. Since we're already here, let me throw in this equaling moving performance of "How I Got Over," live at the 9/11 National Day & of Service & Remembrance Ceremony. Props to Mike .

Reviews of The Marches, Tiny Magnetic Pets & The Novaks Today I'll focus on a few albums that have been sitting in my 'to listen to' pile of CD's a little bit longer than I would have preferred, but once again, I'm gonna go with the 'better late than never' qualifier, if you don't mind. The Marches - 4AM Is The New Midnight The debut album by this massive member Los Angeles band was released in [...]
Check out the official Solilla site here . Also, check out the No More Heroes record by clicking on the image above or here: We only just recently discovered the Solillaquists of Sound and their music is a good discovery for sure. Can't help being reminded of The Roots when listening to this record, although the instrumentals are more like what you'd hear on Rising Down than earlier records like Things Fall Apart . [...]
The Roots will forever be one of my favorite groups in Hip-Hop because I love their utilization of a live band and their natural sound. Not to mention that Black Thought is also one of my top five emcees, the guy is pretty much a god emcee on the microphone. I like every single album in The Roots catalog, but Things Fall Apart is the album that introduced me to them. I look at this album that came out ten years ago and part of me still feels like even not this album would still be ahead of [...]
![Ready To Feel Old?: "Things Fall Apart" Turns Ten [Appreciations]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1555939_lg.jpg)
Things Fall Apart , the Roots album that bumped the Philadelphia band from hip-hop underdogs to the favorite rap group of thousands of white kids (this one included, for awhile), celebrated its 10th anniversary on Monday. With the band being installed as the house musicians for Late Night With Jimmy Fallon next week, I'd like to take a moment and remember how shockingly great the album sounded on first listen (on the way home from the local Circuit City), with its live rhythm section and Rahzel doing whatever he does and an all-star team [...]
