Check It ... @TheRealEternia x MoSS "The Half"

Another fresh cut from Eternia & MoSS ahead of their album dropping next week. I've heard the advance of "At Last" and the one thing I can tell you, Eternia is dope. I knew that before hearing "At Last" but she goes deeper and is super personal on this MoSS produced effort. Anyway, get ready for "At Last" dropping next week and in the meantime, check out "The Half".

One Week 'til Release Day - AT LAST - Eternia & Moss introduce The Half-Sibling Anthem... for those moments in life when you find yourself saying,

"Your Daddy is my Daddy!"

Eternia & MoSS will release their highly anticipated album "AT LAST" June 29th, 2010 on FAT BEATS RECORDS.

Good Read ... "Why Popular Bloggers Are Bad for Hip-Hop"

 
I caught this joint on O's FB page. It's a thought-provoking read. Potholes is one of my favorite blogs. I dig what they do. No shots but most of what is written in this piece needed to be said (and said again). It's a conversation about popular blogging that O and I have had for a while. We do this blogging shit because we love it. Everything we post on The Mad Bloggers is music we enjoy. It's music in rotation in our cars, on our MP3 players. If we don't enjoy it, we're clowning it. If we're not clowning it, we're asking for a second opinion. Regardless, we CONTROL our content. Labels DON'T control our content. Advertisers DON'T control our content. We control it. I'm not posting music because the people want it. I'm posting it because the people need it. There's a few pieces of this editorial I would have changed and some other places I would have dug a little deeper on but overall, it's a good read. Check it.

There’s a prevalent idea that bloggers are supposed to be the pulse of the culture, with a craft dedicated to being early up on new goodness, and I’ll briefly concede so as to admit 2DopeBoyz has hit the mark a few times and served to help the careers of a few underdogs I’m a fan of. However, these charitable acts and attempts to fight the righteous battle are diluted and rendered nearly futile as Meka and Shake take ten steps back by giving a run to wack degenerative MCs with strong followership to ensure people keep coming back to their site.

What I'm Watching ... The Roots "Dear God 2.0"

Check the new vid from The Roots for "Dear God 2.0". This track is easily one of my favorite joints to drop this year (up there with Kanye West's "Power"). The visuals are fresh. "How I Got Over" is available digitally today and in stores tomorrow. Also, our podcast this week is dedicated to The Roots. Look out for that dropping in the next day or so.

@LadyBlogga x Happy Father's Day x "Quesfire"

Today is Father’s Day and on behalf of my team, I would like to wish all the Fathers a Happy Father’s Day!!! There is nothing like seeing a man with his child/children but there is something about seeing a man with his daughter that makes my heart melt. I am a Daddy’s girl myself. And even though he is hundreds of miles away, he still makes me feel like a princess.

In the music industry, family and children are considered “taboo”. For some reason or another, a lot of men in the industry hide the fact that they are family men to protect their “image”. (That is a blog for another day). Anyway, @Quesfire has shown me 2 sides to his talent. I’ve seen him rip the stage at shows and then there’s this.

He took the time with his daughter Lil T to collaborate on her first track “Lil Momma” which talks about the relationship between a father and a daughter. There’s no cursing and sex. No guns and violence. Just a father’s love and the admiration of his daughter. If this video is not Father’s Day appropriate, then I don’t know what is. Please take a moment and see @Quesfire and his daughter Lil T doing their thing on “Lil Momma”.
