E-40: REVENUE RETRIEVIN ALL DAY

If you like E-40 or not this album should definitely be your flava. Yes released as a double CD, Revenue Retrievin’ Day Shift and Night Shift keeps his name in yo mouth. Forty Water is not alone on this one. He calls in all the respectable bay area heads to provide balance and variety in the songs. With help from the likes of San Quinn, Keak The Sneak, Dru Down, Suga Free, B-Legit, Too Sh$rt, and Snoop Dogg just to name a few, you should keep this slumpin for hours.  This album is not short of music, 19 tracks on both CD’s you get your $’s worth. (Think you can handle that much 40 water?  With all those songs it makes you wonder if some of the tracks are only filler tracks. Could it have been cut down to one project? Well maybe but the mix of sounds makes it tolerable and quite enjoyable.

As the front man for The Click ages he is definitely keepin his game tight with this release. Production is up to par and is consistent with that bay area slump that made him who he is. Jazzy Pha, Lil’ Jon, on some of the beats (not all, thank god) makes it bang harder than the crips and bloods.  Oh yeah I should probably mention there are no auto-tune tracks. Listen to these then hit the jump for the album(s). Fa Shiggady!

RINZE VAN BRUG-HOUMAN JEWELRY

Artist Rinze Van Brug’s Houman Jewelry project initially caught my eye because it reminded me of that classic black and white picture, which I believe was of Alek Wek, mounted on the wall in Belly.  His photography is largely inspired by his musical influences as well as street scenes and cityscapes.

SWAGGER LIKE HERS?

M.I.A. recently introduced her limited-edition unisex clothing line, Okley Run, during New York Fashion Week. Aside from T-shirts for fans, the line offers her signature: vibrant ethnic patterns, tanks, hoodies and American Apparel-ish leggings. The prices are stupid. M.I.A. definitely pairs things together that you wouldn’t catch me in, but I appreciate that she has her own unique sense of style.

Peep a few of the threads here and share your thoughts.

Sidebar- Don’t you find it curious that people are just now discovering M.I.A. after “Paper Planes?” Kala has been out for over a year…

From V.A. To P.A.

Before I get into this post I would like to introduce myself. Im JK and im the newest contributor here at Blind I. I used to have a blog called JBeMad and if your familiar with it, continue to expect similar things from me. For everyone else, expect things that are different from your standard blog fare. On with the show…

METHOD TO THE MADNESS: Philly + Virginia = Illmaticness

Certain things just go together. New York football teams playing in New Jersey, other things that don’t come to my mind, etc. Well, certain cities also go together. Philly and New York dislike each other when it comes to sporting events but the two cities came together musically to form the Rocafella dynasty. Detroit and L.A. hated each other before Isaiah Thomas needed saving and Magic Johnson peculiarly gained weight after being diagnosed with the HIV. Musically however, Detroit and L.A. formed Jaylib, Eminem and Dr.Dre’s gazillion dollar partnership and most recently, Black Milk and Bishop Lamont crafted a head nodder called Caltroit.

One partnership that is overlooked however is the one between Philly and Virginia. This combination created Philly’s Most Wanted’s “Get Down or Lay Down”, an album with great Neptunes beats and dull lyrics. But besides that, it created Star Trak. The Neptunes crew brought together Rosco P. Coldchain, a Philly rapper with an odd rhyme pattern and criminal background, Fam-Lay, a Virginian with a flow that leads one to believe that his blood pumps codeine, and the Clipse, a duo that is a personal favorite that formed a collective called The Re-Up Gang. Nevermind all this lead-in blah blah, these are artists that deserve more (enter anything) than they got. Enjoy the sounds.
