Scarface – Can’t Get It Right f. Bilal

Another track off Face’s upcoming album, Emeritus. Swiped from eskay with no regrets. I’m really digging what I’ve heard so far. Now excuse me as I head off to get some drinks. Let’s see if I can get on this level again haha.

Serius Jones – Serius Bizness (Mixtape)

Loud.com links up with Serius Jones for his latest mixtape in which he has the following to say:

…Win, lose or draw, I was forced to put my life on the line to create reality outta what use to be my dream. “Serius Bizness” is a chapter in the legacy of my rise to international “starism.” For those who have followed my story and have been waiting for my album to drop or those that just heard my name somewhere and maybe a freestyle, “Serius Bizness” (Street Album/DVD) should put any sleeping on my artistry to bed and wake up the game to the fact that “Serius” lives up to his name. Being that i’ve been considered one of the greatest “battle” rappers ever i have no choice but to make legendary music above and beyond just “rap” or fall into the obscurity of the losing majority. So far in this industry i have lost family and friends, went from multi-million dollar contract to on my own hustling to pay for studio time and videos and i’ve learned this is a “serious” business for real. Im humbled by the talent of the musicians and directors that i have been blessed to work with and If this is just my “mixtape” music and visuals imagine what “Life is Serius” is gonna b like. Lets make this History yall!!

I guess I can take this time to see if there are any dopeboyz/girlz out there are currently hitting the books in college? I think it’d be safe to say there’s a good majority right?

Brother Ali & Freeway – Truth (Live)

Rhymesayer’s Brother Ali and Roc-A-Fella’s Freeway perform their joint off Jake One’s White Van Music during a show in Minneapolis. This is very cool to see. And if you haven’t seen Brother Ali perform live you’re wasting your life away.

Soopa Starr’s Blaxploitation Friday: Tales From The Hood

* dies from laughter *

What the hell were we thinking when we came up with this, people? And as always, if you’re digging this, hit up Gangstarr Girl for a fresh take on hip-hop, politics, fashion and other worldly and wordy things through the eyes of a New York-helmed around-the-way girl. Without further adeiu…

I’m kind of on my lazy game today. I’m still sort of in food coma but it dawned on me that when I did my blaxploitation horror series, I left out one flick that I specifically meant to include. It’s actually one of my favorites (*hides face in shame at B-Movie addiction*).

Nas & Pacific Division At Club Nokia (Video)

woodini69 sent me a link of a lot of footage he scored of Nas and Pac Div performing this past Wednesday. Due to the huge amount of footage he got, it’s best if you roll over to his YouTube page to check them all out for yourself. For a sampler though, “NY State Of Mind” is up top, while “F.A.T. Boys” is down bottom.

Hope everyone’s Black Friday was good. I balanced out my bullshit experience (sitting in line with a whole bunch of smelly hypebeasts for two hours just to get a jacket is not the bid’ness) with helping those in need (giving a few canned goods for  charity), so said bullshit was worth it. Anyways, here’s some footage of P. Casso’s upcoming video, directed by Steven Tapia.

It’s Safe to Say…

…Shake was three miles beyond fucked up last night. Above is a text I sent. Yea… let’s party.

Taylor Engel deserves some serious dapage. Who is Taylor? Why does he deserve such praise? Well… it’s quite simple. Dude put together the above music video in one take and with a budget of $42. Shit is real dope. Shouts to Jacques Morel for shedding light on this. Hit the jump for the credits…
