For as long as there have been music awards, there have been musicians with opinions about those music awards, and the Grammys are no exception. Depending on your point of view, Arcade Fire trumping commercial heavyweights Lady Gaga, Eminem and Katy Perry for Album of the Year at last year's ceremony was either the event's salvation or the moment it jumped the shark. That polarizing victory reignited a decades-old debate about the relevance and future direction of the awards show. Grammy nominees — and Grammy wannabes — have long argued over whether [...]
Owl Mag writer and Bay Area native, Jeff Bracco, cut classes and bought bootleg CDs to get his musical fix in high school.
Oh golly I'm excited about this post. Wu Tang ? Deep house? Surely not. During a weekend of letting my hair down in London recently, I was lucky enough to come across two Romanian DJs - Praslea and Petre Inspirescu - who were putting their heads together to make one hell of a party. After warming up at their warehouse party [...]
Here's a little something I cooked up in the factory recently.. Another one of our Fresh Faces serves up some new music for the new year, 'Yeah Yeah' is his latest offering from Willy Moon to the music world. Buddy Holly + Amerie + Wu Tang ? just another day in the studio for the talented Mr Moon. Willy Moon - Yeah Yeah Download
Willy Moon - Yeah Yeah [ mp3 SoundCloud] Willy Moon is writing and recording at the moment till we get the new stuff, here is Yeah Yeah based on a sample from Wu-Tang Clan's Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing Ta F' Wit
Time for a little bit of aural time travel. Let's look back, reflect, and contemplate... what were we listening to one year ago? Listen to the January 2011 Mix and find out. You can stream (and scrobble ) all the songs in this mix using the ex.fm player at the bottom of the page OR you can just download any or all of the tracks at your leisure and play them using a digital media player of your choice.

Over the past winter break, rap battle leagues took no vacation whatsoever. Leagues like "KingOfTheDot," "GrindTimeNow," "DontFlop," and "Basementality Battles" continued to release top tier matches from headlining events. New battle leagues made their appearances with very impressive matchups as well. In all, there wasn't really a "winter break" for battling this past year. Considering these releases, it would be absurd to pick just one battle to highlight; however, there is one battle that in my opinion, stood out among the rest. In one of KingOfTheDot's major events, entitled "FlatLine," Canadian battler Q Shinobi squared off [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , The Hit List Getty Images (2) If it seems like the hip new bands of 2012 remind you of something you've heard before, one, you're old, but two, you're right. The adage "everything old is new again" is particularly applicable to modern music and there are a lot of acts who feel mighty familiar right now. Sensing a time-based forensic piece, we jumped in the Official Spinner [...]
Paid Dues is loading up with talent and they're not even done yet. Accompanying headliners Wu-Tang Clan and Odd Future are The Living Legends, Dipset, Hieroglyphics, Kendrick Lamar, DJ Quik, Psycho Realm and Dilated Peoples. The festival takes place on April 7th at Southern California's NOS Events center. (Did I mention April 7th is my birthday? Pretty sure I did .) By the way, Paid Dues isn't done adding talent. More updates when I get them. Sean Tags: paid dues , wu tang clan
That's right folks; The Paid Dues Festival has released their official lineup for the 2012 concert series. There are definitely some heavy hitters on this bill; those who attend can expect to see Wu-Tang Clan, Dilated Peoples, Kendrick Lamar and The Living Legends, just to name a few. The one thing that I love about festivals like Paid Dues and Rock The Bells is that they do a great job of highlighting acts on both coasts of the country. Even though I'm not huge on acts like Odd Future and Dipset, I would still love to [...]

all photos by debi del grande Although two main members of Wu-Tang Clan (Ghostface Killah and Raekwon) were not performing, that didn't stop Club Nokia from being so packed you could barely move. Champagne was flowing, the floor was vibrating and everyone was feeling the beat. Method Man, RZA and GZA were highlights of the evening. —Debi Del Grande [View with PicLens]
Dessa, one of the Doomtree crew photo by Alex Crick We've finally dug out of the snow here in the Northwest, just in time for a few noteworthy shows this week.

RZA recently caught up with Go Where Hip Hop in Chicago and more or less updated some recent Wu-Tang-related news that he was working with Method Man on Method Man's final album and also word that Wu-Tang is working on a new album. However, he added a bit about helping Nas and Busta Rhymes out with some beats. Here's the copy [via HipHopDX ]: "As far as the Wu brothers, whatever we do, we do it. Sometimes we premeditate it, sometimes it's just done naturally. I'm more in a natural mode right now. [...]
