*PBBT!’S SMORGASBORD OCTOBER 2010

This is probably the closest thing you’ll get to a holiday-themed comp from me. Cuz I don’t do dat shit. This is more like the playlist of a Halloween party that I’m DJing where everybody is tripping off spacecakes and shots of Jose Cuervo and we all wake up the next morning pantsless…. Or at least that’s how its plays out in my head. If you need proof hit the stargate for the tracklist and linkage. You’re welcome.

FAT BEATS IN-STORE PERFORMANCE SCHEDULES [LA]

So you already know the deal & how we feel about the whole departure of the Fat Beats stores. Sucks. But not really cuz they still are going to be doing big thangs in various formats, so I guess it’s cool & growth & all that other jazz. Anyways, the NYC farewell jump off was filled to the brim of dope artists who had made Fat Beat NYC their home so it is only fitting that they mirror the same for the LA farewell & as you can see to the right (click pic to enlarge), that they are NOT playin! I mean DAMN!!! I know the NBA will be playing the All Star game @ Staples this season but this schitt right here my ninja? This is LA’s All Star Hip Hop fest for the ages! You got OG spitters from LA’s underground elite from Erule to Volume 10,  to LA’s G’d up from the chucks up spitters MC Eiht to Kurupt, a face melt of beats from LA producers Dibiase to Exile as well as a performace from the Gawdz of LA style Freestyle Fellowship! That aint even scratching the surface tho! Peep the line up for each day & plan accordingly. You’re welcome. Below is my favorite song from Erule  & still in my top 10 all time Hip Hop songs ever.

VIDEO: DANNY BROWN – THE NANA SONG

Danny Brown‘s currently blowing mogs out of the water! The Hybrid was a dope introduction to the world for the Michigan native, and now he’s going for broke. This is the video for “The Nana Song“, where you can get a great feel for what Danny has to offer. And when you go cop Black Milk’s “Album Of The Year“, remember Danny’s name when you listen to the joint “Black & Brown“. Partake!

Late last year Blind I put action behind a dream which was to do an album with a handful of artists that we love. This was even before we went out to SXSW & did our Quality showcase. Our motto has always been “Quality Over Quantity,” & we take that very seriously around these parts. You can tell from each staff member’s individual comps to the posts we make. You can go to many sites & see the same thing. You come here & see something different. You have respecognized this since we stepped onto the scene 4 years ago and have become our beloved “faithful.” We appreciate you all. In honor of you all & for those who don’t know about the Blind I movement, we offer you Quality>Quantity The Album. This album features all brand new exclusive heat from 1-O.A.K., Black Spade, Brittany Street, Co$, Danny Brown, DaVinci, Dert, Devonwho, F.A.M.E, Haz Solo, House Shoes, iLL-Literacy, JimiJames, Joob, Joya Mooi, Noahdeeakili & Sulaiman (C’mon Son… like WE weren’t finna fitz to get on our own schitt), Onra, Penguin Prison, Peter Hadar, Shafiq Husayn, Shawn Jackson, Sonnymoon, Tabi Bonney, The Bangerz & The Primeridian.
