Erykah B for President, bitchessssssss! And lol @ her not so subtle jab at the "Hey Ya" video. At lest she still thinkin bout you, Dre. Leave a comment with as many album titles she appropriated for the video and I'll call you a smart ass by name on the next Rogue Radio Session.

New Amerykah is coming soon. Start wrapping yo damn heads.

Def Jux delivers the goods

Aes Riddock started it, if you ask me. None Shall Pass marked Definitive Jux's ascent to making accessibly intelligent rap music last year, and Jaime Meline and dem got the formula on lock, for the moment at least. Hangar 18 (yes, Hangar 18) has a new video out (probably from Sweep The Leg, but I'm on my way to lunch, so you run that on Wiki) and guess what? The song's not garbage:



Also from Camp Jukie, Del Tha Funkee Homosapien's leaked single off the impending The Eleventh Hour album: Bubble Pop! (It's gewd.)

i ain't been out a second ...

I have officially gotten too old for this shit.

Chubb Rock drops dem gems

Props to The Great Hip Hop Debate.

And as a reward for watching all that:

Random backtrack video, Souls of Mischief - '93 till infinity

the times, they are a-changin'

Just goes to show that even when he's not on the label anymore, Sony knows not to fuck with Nas. This is a great retrospective video, with stock footage from Illmatic videos til his departure.

Also, a less than stellar point in Esco's life, but still noteworthy: The Firm live.

a better tomorrow = a better video

alright, alright, my bad for posting that Jay-Z video. It went against all I hold dear and sacred to my heart. So as an act of penance, this is NYGz - Ya Dayz R #'d, produced by Preeeeeeeeeeeemoooooooooooooooooooo:

Vinnie Paz-sized props to my man Illevate for uppin me up on this track a couple of months ago. Straight heat.

Oh. Sa'idun Eid, people. Maaf zahir batin. Eat well, bless.
