DJ CRITICAL HYPE-THE ART OF CLIPSE(HOSTED BY MALICE)

Here’s a nice little stack of Clipse tracks  from the “Funeral” days to Till The Casket Drops (Tuesday). When you assess their body of work, Pusha and Malice rarely disappoint. Even if you got your hands on the album, which most of us did, don’t let that stop you from copping the album and supporting good music. 

For now, enjoy this mix of oldies & goodies. Shouts to 2DB.

BLIND I SAYS GO! OCTOBER 2009

I saw the artwork of Alex Andreyev and I thought it fit perfectly! As the Fall begins and we look towards the next few months of brisk temperatures and brown leaves on the ground, we can rock in unison with this month’s Blind I Says Go!, encompassing all of the vibes that I believe go hand-in-hand with the Autumn months – hard work, coming of age, fun, love, elevated mindstates, balance, impulse – all entwined through music! Your tour guides through these matters are names like Mos Def, Ghostface Killah, Big Boi, Bullion, Hudson Mohawke, The Clipse, Curren$y, Donell Jones, John Mayer, KJ, Pharrell, Madonna, Melanie Fiona, N.E.R.D., Mayer Hawthorne, Now On, The Flaming Lips, other newcomers, and even yours truly! This one’s sure to be an enjoyable experience….so without further ado…..GO!

FOOTAGE: THE CLIPSE IN CHICAGO

On Friday the Clipse hit Chicago to perform at Sneaker Pimps and then hit local shop Leaders to do a quick in-store. The album is dope! Look for us to be dropping some exclusive shit from the Clipse in the next few weeks. And shouts to D. Greenberg for the shot, chop & edit.

THE CLIPSE-INTERVIEW

I don’t know about you, but I am eagerly anticipating the release of Till The Casket Drops. The Clipse were one of the first interviews I ever did (hilarious dudes) and they hail from VA, a place I lived for years. So I will ALWAYS show love. Peep the interview to hear more about their upcoming album, their clothing line Play Cloths, and a book in the works.
