2db frequenter, DopeSir, pointed me in the direction of this attack on Faux News as Ex-White House Press Secretary, Scott McClellan, says that Faux News is a propaganda tool for the White House.
Fox in the White House: It is one of those things you kind of assume to be true all along… and yet are shocked when hard confirmation actually comes. Our fourth story tonight, from the former White House press secretary himself, word that the Bush White House routinely sent–and as far as we know, still sends– literal talking points to Fox News for its primetime propagandists, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity and others… to spout, as if ventriloquist dummies, as if they had thought of it themselves, as if they had come to those opinions independently, as if there had been a process either fair… or balanced.
When it comes to Duck Down, it’s always best to let their description do the talking: When you’re on a dirt path in the middle of UTAH getting passed by garbage trucks, it can seem all too much like a scene out of “The Hills Have Eyes.” Luckily Sean Price and his two Jewish Road Managers made it back to Brooklyn, NY safely, where Sean Price could complete the new Heltah Skeltah album “D.I.R.T.” in stores September 30th on Duck Down Records. I.Cant.Wait.
Real talk, this gets a post on GP because Cyph uses a sample from a track off my favorite album ever, Thriller. And yes, in case you don’t get it:
Thriller > Illmatic + Ready To Die + Reasonable Doubt + The Low End Theory + It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back + Criminal Minded + Paid In Full + everything else I’ve failed to mention
Mickey Factz is incredible haha. Earlier he had fans submit ideas for concepts to do and he has now picked two to run with.
Tell the story from the point of view of a record (Vinyl) trying to get love in the huge era of CD’s (90′s) and how difficult it is for you to do so and the struggles of being quality but overlooked. Then transition to the same concept with CD’s and mp3s and downloads… – Kyle Connaro
I would like the next concept to be …. You as a dollar bill and what goes on as you pass hands… From drug dealers all the way to the big dogs in congress. Just an Idea… – Ricardo Santiago
Also, as promised, here goes the Incredible instrumental that everyone, but Lil Wayne (hint hint), has asked for…
This was a nice surprise. I’m not the hugest Serius Jones fan but I definitely get down with his music for the most part. DJ Blazita drops her latest mixtape with Mr. Fightklub in which I slapped Legend for. Featuring a slew of new Jones joints as well as tracks from Nino Bless, Crooked I, Joe Budden and more.
I know a few of my cali boys thoroughly enjoy Jay Rock’s music so I felt it necessary to drop his latest mixtape with DJ Noodles. The New West rapper guest appearances from Lil Wayne, will.i.am, K Dot and more.
There have been countless tracklists floating around the internets and now it’s time to shut down the rumors and drop the official version, courtesy of OS! Luda, Wayne, Busta, Ice Cube, Raekwon to name a few guest spots. The artwork has been out but might as well follow suit and include it. Hit the jump…
Prodigy puts some visuals to Power is People from inside the bing bing. Directed by Dan the Man. Also, be sure to check out his response to Nas & Jay-Z, through VIBE.
VIBE just revealed who will be gracing the cover of their 15th Anniversary Juice Issue. Can you take a guess at who? Hit the jump for the answer. And be on the lookout for more covers, as esk says there will be some popping up soon…
Wiz Khalifa jumps on The Game & Travis Barker’s dedication to myself & Meka. I honestly think every artist that jumps on this beat should shout us out haha. Off Wiz’ upcoming mixtape Star Power. Good looks Arthur.
Crooked I continues to drop tracks off his Block Obama mixtape. Again, upcoming DJs take note. This is your chance to put together a Crooked I mixtape and have official drops, etc from the man himself as he is releasing each song without tags, etc and encourages ya’ll to do what you need to do.
I’m still stuck at the site getting an unintentional shout out on Faux News, so I’ll let Elucid handle this one:
With this week’s Warning Shot installment, Elucid spazzes about unrequited love over an electro punk joint from the group Adult. Emo indeed, but still tougher than Nigerian hair.
As a Nigerian, I should take offense to that crack, but then I realize they’re right. UPDATE: I’ve added an “extra clip” that was just sent a few minutes ago.
Today is the 13th anniversary of the passing of my mother so I wanted to leak a track I recorded last year dedicated to the memory of her and my father (who passed on in september 98) it may be a little personal for a blog blast but hey, I hold nothing back. I’ll get back to talking that shit next week.
