Not only did Ms. Monae hook up a dope remix to her “Tightrope” record, but she also got the crew together for a quick video.  Just for the record, has anyone seen her guitar player, Kellindo, and Andre3000 in the same room at the same time?

Checking in from out of the country to post up some behind the scenes footage of the homies Sol, Grynch, Geo, and Thig Nat recording Sol’s “Spliff” remix.  Download the EP here if you haven’t already!

Dope visuals put together for an in-studio live performance of Donwill’s “Love Junkie (Wallpaper Remix).”  Doesn’t it just make you want to move?  Shout to Yours Truly.

We played the hell outta this record on SNSS when it first dropped and I’m glad to see some visuals finally come out.  I love that the biggest rapper in the game these days came from doing verses on joints like this.  You have to respect/enjoy that.

Hahahah, excellent visuals for the new single from the homies Thurz and Y-O off their brand new A Love Supreme 2.0 release.  I’ve talked about the accompanying documentary for this project a few times because it features yours truly on narration, but objectively speaking, seriously, you have to cop.  Not only do you get all this dope music but you get the full A Love Supreme documentary?

What are you waiting for?!?!  Cop that.

What’s that you say?  WLotD is back?  Well…not officially, but I have received a few requests to revive what I started in 2001 on my old AIM away messages.  Working from home today and heard this gem as I was going through music:

“Your booty girl…God, it’s like a Mack truck/
Your booty girl! Beep, beep, back it up”
– Chris Brown, “Drop It Low (Remix)”

Yes, I’m late posting this video.  No, I don’t care.

Recently, I’ve been playing this Miike Snow album non-stop and it’s really impressive.  I seem to be on a “white guy singing, possibly with a foreign accent or falsetto of sorts, about semi depressing, ethereal topics” kick.  *Kanye shrug*…sue me.  I’m sure I’ll get back into my backpack hip-hop mindset soon, but for now, enjoy some different ish.

Shout to my man Soul Supreme at Potholes In My Blog for giving me the heads up on the Mark Ronson “Animal” remix.  We rocked this on Sound Session a few times and I’m a sucker for anything dub related.

Miike Snow – “Animal (Mark Ronson Remix)”

Are you there Jah? It’s me Ras Trent.

I don’t know the back story behind it, but this is crazy.  “Comprised using chords, bass notes, and vocal samples” from one of the best films of ’09, Up.

Sidenote, just saw Up In The Air, which was fantastic as well.  Next up is Avatar, but I need to wait until the furor around the 3D IMAX shows dies down a bit…

My favorite track of the month is easily Mayer Hawthorne’s remix of James Pants’ “Thin Moon,” and the fine folks at Stones Throw have given me the go-ahead to post it up for y’all.

James Pants ft. Mayer Hawthorne – “Thin Moon (Remix)”

EDIT: Apparently there was a mix up and the label has now asked for the song to be removed. If you got it, lucky you.  If not, you can always tune into Sound Session this week to hear us run it over 100K watts.

Mood music.  Enjoy.

This dude is so ill on the drums.  Ridiculous.  Download link courtesy of the Dopehouse.

Drake ft. Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem – “Forever (Travis Barker Remix)”

Oh, and for the record: after further inspection, Lil Wayne remains thoroughly outclassed on this track.
