Prince Videos

Hmmm…. this is fascinating, considering Youtube wasn’t allowed to have any. Scroll down for the ones without the pop ups.

Native Tongues Videos

Just having fun with music video search. Bonita Applebum, Beyond This World, Buddy & Sobb Story coming up next… Enjoy!

Hey Young World


Just testing MTV’s new music video search. I’m defintely not mad. The quality’s real good and the selection’s not bad either.

Lubrication


It seems like many of us who grew up with mid-90’s rap still have a place in our hearts for Kwest The Madd Ladd’s very entertaining 101 Things. I always thought dude’s debut single from the year before is just as good.

Btw, here’s an interesting read about what happened with Kwest’s deal at Rick Rubin’s Def American, courtesy of Ego Trip magazine (Mao what’s up???) and via Pressrewind.

What is your preferred bitrate?

I’ve been wondering about this for a while. Whether you’re a regular or just passing by, please take a second to answer. You’ll see the results after voting.

Easiest Way To Fall

I was ripping 45’s the other day and came to think this could use a simple edit to make it an useful addition to the rap classics set.

Btw,
how dope is it that JVC took the beat AND the guitar from the same album?

Mos Def, Jay, Prince & Stevie / Marvin Gaye, Led Zeppelin & Biggie

Damn, I used to play this a lot at one point. Now it’s been a while and it’s sounding fresh as ever again.

Btw, make sure to check the new jam and the somewhat bangerific Swizz Beats remix if you haven’t yet.

Also, a request: if anyone has a high bitrate version of the ancient unreleased ATCQ jam Mr Incognito I’d really appreciate it. My old bootleg 12″’s too damn beat up to rip.
