Howard and Marshall

Interviews, Music, Videos

It’s #WhiteboyWednesday, so let’s celebrate by watching the greatest white rapper of all-time—Eminem—go head-to-head with the greatest white interviewer of all-time—Howard Stern. Take a trip back to ’99 and get to know a young Marshall Mathers, who was still fresh off the release of his debut album and on his early ascent to superstardom. My favorite part is listening to Howard bust Em’s balls about talking “like a black guy” haha so funny. Classic stuff right here, enjoy.

Dumb Delicious

Here’s the trailer for Action Bronson’s new Viceland version of Fuck, That’s Delicious. Looks amazing, I can’t wait. Dude really has his own cable TV show now, so cool.

Damaja Demos

Music, The Good Old Days

Oh wow, this is kinda crazy. Jeru the Damaja just posted his first demo tape on Soundcloud, complete with three recordings from ’91-’92 produced by the late great Guru. I of course recognize the verses and vocal sample on “Dirty Rotten,” but the other stuff is definitely new to me. All praises due to the God Jeru—I was just listening to Wrath of the Math last week!

Forty Deuce

Music

New Droog video, live from Times Square. Very fresh, very fun.

Poor People’s March

Music

SHIRT spills the real over a dope Trac-Quada production. Short and sweet, press play.

Summer Sixteen

Music

drake-summer-sixteen

I don’t care if you like Drake as a person or not. You have to respect this man’s music. He continuously kills everything in his path. His new song “Summer Sixteen” is incredible. From the venomous diss bars to the infectious chorus to the absolutely ridiculous beat flip, it embodies everything that makes modern-day hip-hop exciting. I’m about as traditional a New York rap fan as it gets. I listen to old Redman and new Roc Marciano all day, every day. But Drake is a beast. He’s bodying the game every chance he gets, and if you haven’t accepted it yet, it’s about time you do. Oh, and that new shit “Work” with Rihanna? Also flames. No stream links for either so just head over to iTunes/Apple Music to listen/download. I already did, and trust that I got them both on repeat.

Views From the 6 coming in April.

Nonce, Please

Music, The Good Old Days

A few weeks back, I posted an old The Nonce video in response to a Juan Epstein episode where it was brought up in conversation. And now, it looks like the good people at Dope Folks Records will be releasing a collection of unreleased Nonce rarities this year.

It’s funny, I recently got my hands on an unreleased Nonce collection of their early ’90s stuff titled Advanced Regression, and this “Scopen Out The Honeys (Remix)” was on there. There’s another one out there, too, called The Right State of Mind, which is made up of songs they recorded around 1997. Yes, I’m a Nonce head, so I’m psyched to see that these joints are finally going to get an official release. Stay tuned, and enjoy some serious Southern Cali throwback rap goodness above.

RIP Yusef Afloat.
