So west coast. How come every video these days makes me remember college? I guess college is just the rap life…plus essays (no pun).
Good stuff from the homey Add-2, which made me think…
Hyph’s Dream Girl:
Must live in my city. Long distance gets you every damn time. You know where to apply.
I can’t believe I forgot to post up the new video from the homies Y-O and Thurzday when it first dropped, but here’s “Windows” if you haven’t seen it. I’m not sure if it’s official yet, but a certain group might be coming to a certain city and a certain local DJ might be performing with them in a few weeks…stay tuned.
Here’s U-N-I’s promo video for their hat collaboration with Hella Tight as well:
Seu Jorge & Almaz dropped one of my favorite albums of the year and you can hear samples of three tracks in this short film. It’s just so smooth…
Krit ripped this…one of my favorite beats of all-time by the way. Shout to the homey John Colombo on direction.
It’s no “Super Brookyn,” but I’m down for anything NES related really. It looks like Sai is making a renewed push and finally has a home for his long awaited official debut album too. Here’s hopin’…
Speaking of which, someone tweeted this the other day and I never even realized it: if it’s the Mario brothers, wouldn’t that mean their names are Mario Mario and Luigi Mario? Things that make you go hmmmm.
“Mix a little Leimert Park with a cold piano…and tell me if you heard something realer”
C’est magnifique, n’est pas?
I feel like the blogosphere is fairly familiar with TiRon, but I think he’ll take it to the next level in 2011. He really has all the tools to be a dope, complete MC, and with other cats in L.A. blowing up recently, it’s just a matter of time until he does too. Shout to Jerome D on the director for this clip too.
It wouldn’t surprise me if this was real home video of Pharrell…must be a nice life. Minus points for the blatant Beats By Dre product placement (are we really doing that for EVERY Interscope video for the past 3 years?) and poor audio syncing to the video. No excuse for that with the production budget. This is actually one of my least favorite records on Nothing, but it’s cool. 20’s. 50’s. 5’s. 10’s.
The homeboy Jon Jon is currently down in Los Angeles learning all sorts of incredible film-making techniques to take his productions to the next level, so I think he’s falling back from music videos for a little while. That said, he’s got a few more in the stash, starting with the debut video for B.o.B’s right hand man, and all around funny guy/dope MC/crazy hook writer, Playboy Tre. What up fellas?!
