LITTLE BROTHER | 9TH WONDER

[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
9th? WTF? Yeah… I’ll let Pooh tell it.

“We decided to give that song to people for two reasons. First, the people have been asking for another 9th/Little Brother song since this is the last Little Brother album. We had intended for that song to be an iTunes bonus track [...]

RISE IN POWER TEDDY P!!!

Yesterday was a sad day for music as we lost another one of our fore fathers in soul. The great Teddy Pendergrass lost his battle with colon cancer on Wednesday January 13th 20X. I will always remember him for the greatness that he gave us all. Jay Cee made an ill podcast in tribute to Teddy P [...]

UNRELEASED: COMMON – STRANGE FRUIT (FEAT. JOHN LEGEND) (PRODUCED BY KANYE WEST)

Here’s some unreleased Common featuring John Legend and produced by Kanye West that didn’t make it to the final cut of Finding Forever, most likely due to the Nina Simone sample. Who knows. Dope shit though. Chicago run it! I love that the internet allows a venue for great songs that can’t legally make it [...]

MICHAEL JACKSON’S THRILLER SESSION DEMOS

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to see the stuff the French thought about giving America before they decided on the Statue Of Liberty? How about what your boy President John Adams had in mind for a crib before he had the White House built? Yeah, it’s that major. These are a [...]

MIXTAPE: DJ JAZZY JEFF X MICHAEL JACKSON – HE’S THE KING, I’M THE DJ

CLASSIC: ST. IDES COMMERCIAL COMPILATION

Fuck Colt 45, St. Ides is for the kids! All jokes aside, St. Ides put together a super thorough promotional campaign back in the day with Dr. Dre to push their malt liquor sales to the then-blossoming hip-hop crowd. Looking back on it philosophically, it was a total brainwashing tool to get inner-city youth to [...]

WU-TANG CLAN’S DEMO TAPE (1992)

When it comes to the children, Wu Tang is for the children. Puffy is good, but Wu-Tang is the best. The Wu Tang Clan was very influential on my personal musical maturation and that moment at the Grammy Awards when ODB spoke so profoundly is part of the reason why this site is called Blind [...]
