KANYE WEST F/ JAY-Z-POWER REMIX

Kanye has been tweeting about this remix for quite some time so when Funkmaster Flex played it in NYC everyone went crazy. I’m just gonna let you listen. The ending (via Swizz) is ridiculous. Can’t wait to hear it in the club. I will be leaning!

BLIND I SAYS GO! AUGUST 2010 • THE INTERLUDE

I really outdid myself with this one. This…..right here….is my…..most fluid, themed, consistent BISG compilation yet! August’s edition of Blind I Says GO! is giving love to the joints you love but forget to revisit….the Yin to the typical Yang of selections that jump out at us on out favorite records….yes that’s right, the INTERLUDE! When I came up with this concept I had a few special ones in mind that I’d always loved, but I had no idea I’d be able to pick 40 tracks that combined into an hour-long mindgasm of sonic delicacy. You like my wordplay I know you do. All the greats are here along for the ride too — 112, Little Brother, Hi-Tek, Usher, Talib Kweli, Sa-Ra, Brand New Funk, Justin Timberlake, Sonnymoon, I, CED, Common, Bilal, The Neptunes, N.E.R.D., Group Home, Outkast, SWV, Dwele, Drake, Missy Elliott, Kelis, Timbaland & Magoo, John Legend, Mayer Hawthorne, Yesterday’s New Quintet, Erykah Badu, Diddy, B.I.G., Madlib, Jay-Z, Janelle Monaé, Jake One, Dilla, Gang Starr, Dimlite, Dert, Constrobuz, Beat Maker Beat, Sol+10….I mean C’MON SON! You already know what you need to do.

DJ JAZZY JEFF AND MICK BOOGIE PRESENT-SUMMERTIME

I was at a cookout yesterday and Will Smith and Jazzy Jeff’s “Summertime” came on. There really is no such thing as having an event during the season without hearing this and other classic summertime songs. So, right on time for the 4th, Mick Boogie Undrcrwn and Jeff teamed up to create this mixtape with almost 50 hits from De la Soul to Quincy Jones. Audible goodness for days. Check out the tracklist after the jump.

JAYDIOHEAD

Sometimes we get schitt in our inbox where it’s an immediate BLAH… & we just delete off top. Then there’s the times where the email is actually addressed to us & not on some mass email or BS like… “the most anticipated yada yada yada” where we just delete off top as well. Sometimes… they are decent. & Sometimes they are more than decent. This schitt right here doe my nigga? Producer Max Tannone‘s  Jay-Z vs. Radiohead mash ups were brought to life through this visual mix of his Jaydiohead project. The dancing is dope. The steez is flava. The directing & entire schitt the way it was shot is pretty damn clean & movie-esque… doesn’t feel like I’m watching a regular ass video. I think its pretty fly… what about you?

JAY-Z DOCUMENTARY-NY-Z

I know it’s been a minute since we’ve updated the site. We were down making our mark on SXSW via the Quality! showcase, networking and indulging in all sorts of debauchery. We’ll have photos and footage for you soon. For now, check out this ABSOLUT Vokda doc on Shawn Carter himself.

We had a bunch of nominees on long lists when we started this process, and as we dwindled them all down to the best we knew we had something dope on our hands. We put up the polls, you voted, and now we present to you the 2009 Blind I End Of The Year Award Winners!

A DAY IN THE LIFE: DJ NEIL ARMSTRONG

For most of the population they know him as Jay-Z’s tour DJ. But for cats like me who were into the battle DJ and scratch culture in the 90′s he’s a consistent member of the 5th Platoon crew (and one of the kings of mixtapes). Whatever the case, he’s living it up. Check this little in depth video about his life and rise to fame.
