Hip-Hop: The Art Of Rhyme…
If you haven’t seen it, now’s your chance. Check out ‘The Art of Rhyme’. A documentary approach to that thing called freestyle:
This was released on DVD a while back, but I saw that it was available to stream, so here we are. There’s some cool footage in this and some MC’s that are worth hearing from. If you’ve got some time to waste, here’s your ammunition.

Hip-Hop: Wu-Tang Vs. The Beatles-Enter The Magical Mystery Chambers…
Hey everybody, its been a minute since Voldemars has heard an album worthy of suggesting to listen to, but finally, 2010 has put one out there. It is called “Wu-Tang vs. The Beatles” and I think it’s one of the illest mash-up albums I’ve ever heard. My favorite part of the album is a snippet of Ol’ Dirty singing a Line from a Beatles song, “Love Love me Dude you know i love you, Ill always be true, so please please love me too…” He talks about singing rap and how nobody does that.
This album is dope. What I like about it is they expanded from just the standard 36 Chambers classics and have songs from the solo albums the Wu put out. Albums from Ghosface and Raekwon to name a couple. There are a few parts on the album where the music does not quite match up perfectly, but you can expect that with Mash-ups.
*I’ve been experimenting with fusing reggae instrumentals with hip-hop acappellas. I will have Zonker post one up when I make one that I think is dope enough so share.
This album was put out by Tom Caruana and is a must have for any Wu fan. If you’re a big fan of the Beatles, then it will probably just piss you off to hear kids from the East Coast rap over it. …But!…if you love the Wu and love the Beatles, then you must hear this album. You can grab it all over the web, so give it a listen.
I want to find it!

Tracklist:
The Charleston (Birth Of The B-Boy)…
Another one of those cool, old-school flicks of dudes dancing. This one set to some Daft Punk shizzle…
It’s pretty rad how similar breakdancing and some of these old school dance moves are. I’m not really feelin the choice of music on this one (Daft Punk), but it’s definitely still dope. Who’da thunk that the Charleston was so badass?

You Hearda This Dude ‘Dub FX’?…
Check out this dude Dub FX do his thing live on the street in Amsterdam:
I gotta say that this is the type of music that I need to see being performed to get the most out of it. Had I just heard the CD without the visuals and seeing the whole track be built up and then executed, I don’t think I’d of dug it that much. That’s not a diss to Dub FX, just a little something I know about myself. Pretty dope idea though…beatbox, reggae, and hip-hop mashed-up and performed live. Fresh.
Thanks for the link @Naked Bob

1 commentThe Ultimate American Theme Song…
Grab yourself a Budweiser and light up that Marlboro. Then click play and swell with pride for being an AMERICAN:
Yes folks, I do believe I have found the ultimate American theme song. This track is by Macklemore and is off his album titled “The Unplanned Mixtape”. I knew this was something that folks would be stoked to hear, so I took the time to share it with ya’ll. Go ahead, pass this link around to friends and family. We should all celebrate this song together and what better way to do that than by sharing with loved ones?
Thank you Macklemore. This song reminds me of why I’m proud to be an American.

No commentsGreg Pattillo – Piano.Flute.Beatbox…
Greg Pattillo gets funky with a piano, flute, and beatbox…by himself:
It’s always cool to see how things progress…and when it comes to the art of beatboxing, adding the flute has shown us some pretty cool stuff so far. Between this dude and Nathan Lee, there’s should be plenty of dope stuff to come…
peace,

Hip-Hop: Mos Def, Black Thought, Eminem, & DJ Premier Cypher Session…
Check out Mos Def, Black Thought, and Eminem throw down with some badass rhymes while DJ Premier controls the wax. Pure dopeness:
My buddy sent this link in a while back and I finally sorted through the stack of emails in the inbox to get to it. I’m sure there’re still plenty of folks out there that haven’t seen this shizzle yet…so once again, TrendyInk’s got you covered…hehehe.
This is from the 2009 BET Music Awards. I gotta say, all three of these fooz tore tha sh!t up, but Mos Def and Black Thought really brought the ruffness. Props to Eminem for making a billion dollars and still bein down to throw down off the top. There’s plenty of example of MC’s that wouldn’t dare do that after blowin up.
CLICK to see more of the ‘cypher’. MC’s include KRS, Wale, Buckshot, Joe Budden and more…
peace,
