We know you guys have been wondering, “What happened to the compilations on Blind I?” for quite some time, right? Well, no worries! We’re restructuring the site a bit and we plan to roll out some exciting new features in the near future. It’s getting chilly out and rather than spending time outside partying, more of us are bundling up with significant others. I equate fall with romance. Always have and always will. So I figured it was time for another Rendezvous. Enjoy! Let me know what you think. xx. S/O to Noah for the graphics. A beast as always. › Continue reading

VIDEO: JESSE BOYKINS III-PROTOTYPE 3010

Have you noticed the trend of music videos getting longer? I’m not mad at it. No spoilers here but the ending to Jesse Boykins III ‘s cover of Andre 3000′s “Prototype” definitely came as a surprise to me. Watch for yourself.

NO KNOWS DOPE | OUTKAST | SLUM VILLAGE

I know… I know… I know. It’s about damn time. & you’re right. It is. My bad for the delay. No excuses (even tho I got em). Last time I’ll be late for the rest of the year (only 1 month left jackass… not that difficult). Anyways the long awaited No Knows Outkast that was supposed to drop on the 15th of last month is finally here. It’s filled with all my faves & was a batch & a half to put together. As for this month I felt taking it to the slums, thus, No Knows Slum Village, same formula as Kast, same difficult task, all executed for the love of your support & your need for dopenaassss. TL’s & DL’s you know where…eNjOy!

CHRIS BROWN – DEUCES (REMIX) (F/ DRAKE, KANYE WEST, T.I., FABOLOUS, ANDRE 3000)

Kanye’s obviously got everybody in the mood for these super feature-heavy records, so Chris Brown did something similar with his ‘Deuces‘ remix and added 5 HEAVY features – Drake, Kanye, T.I., Fabolous, and Andre 3000. You know I had to post it. Plus it’s pretty dope. Indulge!

THE MAKING OF OUTKAST’S AQUEMINI

Outkast’s Aquemini album was a true classic. You could put it on and let the entire thing play without a hitch. This CL Atlanta story has each participant in the project weigh in and reflect on the creative process. The behind-the-scenes perspective is ill. It’s like taking the liner notes and digging deeper. Enjoy the article–it’s a lengthy but great read:

Man, first they were some pimps. Then they were some aliens or some genies – some shit. Then they be talkin’ ’bout that black righteous space. Man, fuck them. I ain’t fuckin’ with them no mo’.
– – “Return of the G’ skit, Aquemini

By the time Aquemini was due to drop in the fall of 1998, no one knew what to expect from the-soon-to-be-iconic OutKast.
