Good thing for Twitter and FB because I don’t remember ANYONE’s birthdays, including my own. Anyway, Dilla would have been 38 today. RIP to one of the GOATs. Damn Dilla was so good!

The Pharcyde “Drop” Video

How about a little nostalgia on a cold ass Thursday morning in Chicago? During my high school years, the period where my musical palate was shaped, groups like The Roots, Black Star, Slum Village and The Pharcyde were constantly heard coming from my 1988 egg-shell white Corolla’s detachable face tape deck. All those tunes can [...]

After a couple drunken nights this past weekend of talking shit, watching music video and listening to tunes, me and my ace, Todd, decided that this week we would only listen to classic albums. I guess we have had enough of the bullshit and needed to erase memories of MTV Jams with some refreshers of [...]
You Need This Music

I was reading a little article with Nottz on HipHopDx this morning and it got me pretty excited for his album, You Need This Music, which is supposed to drop sometime this year. Nottz is one of my favorite producers out. He is one of the only cats who seems to have the ability to [...]

I’m officially back in routine mode after a vacation that was too short. Hopefully everyone has purchased my new project, Stanley Ipkiss: Year of the Nice Guy on iTunes. I promise it’s worth the money. You can imagine how hard it is to find the right music to listen to on the first day back [...]

Before I get to my full post today, I wanted to share a new video from one of my favorite groups, Slum Village. They are getting ready to drop their last album as a group, Village Manifesto and recently released a video for their track, Reunion Part 2 featuring Illa J. I’m not sure if [...]

I wanted to give everyone a taste of something a little different today. The J Dilla and SV affiliate, Dwele, dropped his new album, W.ants W.orld W.omen, on Tuesday and I have listened a couple times. I was first introduced to Dwele back in high school when he opened for Slum Village at The Granada in [...]

Happy Friday to all. TGIF. It’s been both a week of sadness and celebration. One of hip hop’s pioneers and legendary emcees, Guru, passed away this week. The whole hip hop community along with family and friends will mourn his passing for a long time but we also should be celebrating his life. He gave [...]
