VIDEO: MAYER HAWTHORNE-YOUR EASY LOVIN’ AIN’T PLEASIN NOTHIN’

Whenever you’re about to watch a Mayer Hawthorne video, you can expect to see a bevy of dancing brunettes, disco-esque attire and the sunny West Coast backdrop. This cut from A Strange Arrangement is no different, except this time Hawthorne hops into the dance sequence (1:27). Looks like it was a fun video. Enjoy boys; it’s definitely for you.

FOOTAGE: THE HOMIES OF ENDS/WEALTH CORP. KNOW HOW TO HAVE ‘A GOOD TIME’

Sorry Breaux, I’ve been swamped! My homies over at Ends/Wealth Corp had a very dope event recently at Black Market Caviar as they released some new designs for their line, and of course the kid had to slide through to check out the festivities and give out some daps & pounds. The Ends/Wealth product is very dope and always stays at a premium level of quality, so definitely check out what they have to offer. Special shouts to Hennessy Black and Izze for the fire ass drinks,  and shouts to Nick Castle for shutting it down with this video he did! Now watch as Hollywood Holt gets cake everywhere. Pow!

Ahhhhh yesss..  Big Boi definitely keeps his name on the map with this one. Yet another fine project from the Dungeon Family member.  What’s sad is due to label sheistey-ness.  Andre Benjamin is not on this album. So thats first off.. But regardless Big Boi holds it down like a twist tie and a trash bag. This will have to be put into heavy rotation in the player. The skits are funny too.. There is no download link because he deserves your coins for this album.  So peep the track then cop dat shit..

THE CARLTON – DJ STYLUS

I live in the land of nerds Silicon Valley, CA! I would consider myself a nerd!!. Since NERDS are the new black and the 90s are back, I’m dropping this cool lil gem for the KING OF NERDS. A mix dedicated to CARLTON mixed by Dj STYLUS.

“The Carlton” is an ode to the King of All ’90s Sitcom Nerds, Carlton Banks, and the sounds that he would likely be grooving to if were still around in 2010.

This is a fresh lil mix with a lil bit of everyone from Stevie Wonder to J Davey to Hall & Oats. All the songs have that CARLTON feel to it to definitely get you Bouncing…peep the vid I found to go with it after the jump SUPER CLASSIC.

BIG BOI FEATURING T.I.-TANGERINE

Despite having label drama, Big Boi’s Sir Lucious Left Foot…The Son of Chico Dusty debut will be released next week. Tracks keep popping up and giving us a little prelude to the main event.

Chime in!

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.

DEAD PREZ-REVOLUTIONARY BUT GANGSTA GRILLZ MIXTAPE

Wow can you believe Let’s Get Free came out  a decade ago? Goodness, that makes me feel old.  Anyway, to mark the occasion, Dead Prez teamed up with DJ Drama for Turn Off The Radio Vol. 4: Revolutionary But Gangsta Grillz. When I hit play I was shocked to hear them rhyming over Drake, Gucci Mane, M.I.A. and other unexpected instrumentals. Of course they’re lighting  each one up lyrically and the messages in their music definitely uplift. A rarity these days. Dope!
