This site is dedicated to sharing live shows from Hip-Hop’s Greatest THE ROOTS. This has been one of my favorite finds lately. The only problem is that the site is a little slow loading, but it’s worth the wait.
Mos Def
‘Yo, why they say ‘Never say never’ when they know that ain’t right?, ‘Cause to ‘Never say never’ you done said ‘Never’ twice’. -Mos Def
>>Go here< < I think this picture says it all. This site is the best site around y’all.
Mark Romanek
Peep This
Mark Romanek’s uncut Jay-Z video for 99 Problems. Check out his whole website too, it’s worth some time.
RIP Rick James
So, this is what I read today.
“LOS ANGELES (AP) — Funk singer Rick James, best known for the 1981 hit “Super Freak,” died Friday, apparently of natural causes, police said.”
My favorite part is the “apparantly”. Seems like people are a little skeptical. Read whole aritcle here.
What is Dave Chappele going to do? “I’m dead Beaotch”?!
More Music Loot
OK, so the good music keeps on coming. I got me the new Roots CD yesterday for my birthday! The Tipping Point is amazing. Does anyone know what Black Thought is saying in “Don’t Say Nuthin'”? They are giving away $4000, so check out thier website @ the roots @.
And check this out. ?uestlove’s (no that’s not a type-o) record library! I’ve seen the roots more than once in concert and they give the BEST live show I’ve ever been to. I was completely blown away. I was disappointed with the Gang Starr, Mos Def, etc… concert I went to at BBKings. It was worth it for sure, especially to hear Mos Def. I really need to see more of him before long. The Roots entire concert was great! The sound was great, the vibe was great, the croud was awesome. I saw them once at the knitting Factory. I was right in the front row (which you know if you read my website archives).
Anyone out there sick of wack rap? Can I get a witness?
