What I'm Watching ... Kanye West "Mama's Boyfriend" (acapella vid)

"... you ol old spice wearing ... short chain wearing ... dress shoes and jogging pant wearing ... church sock wearing ..."

I guess Kanye stopped by Facebook Headquarters yesterday for an acapella showcase of some of his new material. That's pretty dope. After checking some of the joints online, "Mama's Boyfriend" is already an immediate favorite. I'm gonna need this full joint to leak drop immediately! Straight comedy. Enjoy!

Throat Chop Session: Jersey Shore x NYSE? FOH!

Sure, ringing the opening bell on the New York Stock Exchange is simply a ceremonial thing, with athletes, actors, musicians and others taking part in the ringing (if you will) over the years. I get it.

But the cast of Jersey Shore? WTF?! Do they even know what the NYSE is? I doubt it. They (and their producers) have already failed geography, since for some odd reason they think Miami is a part of the Jersey Shore (name fail 101).

Reality TV makes me sick because it creates these self proclaimed stars whose claim to fame is nothing more than making a jackass out of themselves on television. Looking like fools lands them clothing lines, club appearances among other things. Can't knock the hustle BUT reality television has watered down the definition of "celebrity." Jersey Shore is among the bottom of the barrel in reality television and with a second season on the way, it will ONLY get worse!

Eff this show and throat chop this Jersey Shore shit!


Snookie is popular for talking shit and NEVER being able to back it up and the Situation is the textbook definition of douchebag. These fuck faces are walking stereotypes. On the bright side, at least it's not black folks (read: all of BET's reality based programming).

It's still sad shit.

Oh well, I can't wait for Mel Gibson to ring the NYSE bell. I bet they'll have to blow him first OR it will be the rose garden for them if not.

Where @LadyBlogga Will Be ... The Generation Next Showcase

New York City in the Summertime is notorious for a lot of things. Great music and concerts are one of them. Tomorrow night at Littlefield in Brooklyn NY, the Generation Next showcase is going down. SoulRebel NYC in conjunction with HipHopDX.com is launching the first showcase for buzzworthy artists, not only from NYC but across the country.

Hosted by @INFNYC and HOT 97’s own Peter Rosenberg, this first show boasts a tight line-up. Performers include SkyZoo (who’s track “Popularity” was featured on Entourage a couple of weeks ago), TiRon, Game Rebellion, The Kid Daytona, The Illz (who rocked out at Santos Monday night with Joelle Ortiz, Joe Budden and a few others), J. Ferb, and Ca$he. Generation Next creator and SoulRebel NYC founder Mic Sean is the mastermind responsible for bringing these acts together and giving them the platform they need to take their careers to the next level.

Download ... ST. JOE LOUIS "30,000 FT HIGH & RISING"

Check the project from St Joe Louis. Enjoy.

After a brief  layover with the "Almost There" FreEP...St. Joe Louis takes us "30,000 ft High & Rising."

It commences with an homage to De La Soul on 30,000 and then sky-rockets into the epic life journey’s of Elete, Tommie Chase and Michael Cardigan. The title deals not just with being fly but about the pressures that come with reaching for your dreams.

The trio- candid in their approach and transparent in their delivery- share their triumphs and failures on tracks like, I Reply, and Run Out of Love, respectively. "30,000 ft High & Rising" features Skyzoo, PH (formerly Pumkinhead), Daniel Joseph, and others.

01.) 30,000 (feat. Chordz Cordero)
02.) Good Morning
03.) I Reply
04.) Run Out of Love
05.) So Far (feat. Stevie Lee)
06.) Searching
07.) Top Model
08.) Shooting Star (feat. Malay)
09.) Dripping (feat. Daniel Joseph)
10.) Black Magic
11.) Tell 'Em (feat. Skyzoo)
12.) Moments (feat. Nucci Reyo & Chordz Cordero)
13.) Good Night (feat. PH) (formerly Pumpkinhead)

Check It ... Oddisee West Coast Beats - Hosted By Trek Life

I'm a big fan of Oddisee and all the music he creates. I'm a little late on this but I'm sure others are too so posting this here should help. Check this out.

In preparation for Trek Life's new album "Everything Changed Nothing" available July 27th, I put together a "West Coast" beat-tape.
Coming from the city of Go-Go, I've always loved production inspired by funk. when it comes to funk inspired hip hop, no body does it like the west. While I was on the west producing Trek Life's album that inspiration went further than being a fan. I don't know if it was the palm trees, beaches, or burgers but this is what I was making in LA. Listen, Download, Enjoy & purchase "Everything Changed Nothing".
