#246 Suff Daddy - Nothing Can Be Right When Everything Is Wrong

Great Christmas Tape of berlin based DJ Suff Daddy. Celebrate, folks

#245 Men In Tights...

It is said, that soccer is a manly sport. I have to reconsider this, after watching that video. German television is awesome at times...

#244 Free Beats

This is so simple. But in the same moment, this is so brillant. Ask yourself: what would you perform?

#243 Life In The Year 1958

Great film about how life fifty years ago looked like. And yes, of course, it was that perfect. What did you think, cynical bastards...

#242 Peter Tosh - Stepping Razor Red X

brillant documentary of one of the godfathers of reggae...
for all of you, being not familiar with patois: there are subtitles, yes.

#241 DEFinition - Art And Design Of Hip Hop

Highly interesting and damn sure another reason to hit your amazon.com bookmark again...

#240 Busta Rhymes - I Got Bass

Bangladesh does it again...and Busta is hot as ever...

#239 Boombench

Now this is something, i really consider as a must have...

#238 Hipster Is Dead

We’ve reached a point in our civilization where counterculture has mutated into a self-obsessed aesthetic vacuum. So while hipsterdom is the end product of all prior countercultures, it’s been stripped of its subversion and originality. Or to be more precise: fuck off, hipsters!

#237 Kanye West feat. Lil' Wayne - Tell Everybody That You Know

Seems like the entire album has been leaked (officialy, you know) before it's release. I just post this, because of this incredible Lil Wayne part. I mean, being a martian with a sizzurp addiction doesn't explain everything. does it?

#236 Jay Electronica - Exhibit A (Transformations)

In recent months, the 31-year-old MC, who’s spent the past dozen years roaming nomadically between nearly as many cities, has emerged as hip-hop’s first real enigma of note since the rise of MySpace and MP3 blogs made ubiquity an imperative for all rappers on the come-up. But turning down interviews and holding back on the web (he doesn’t have a website at the moment and deleted his MySpace account) wouldn’t exactly be a formula for success if he didn’t already have the Internet and insiders alike going nuts over his music. Teaming up with Just Blaze just completes the picture...

# 235 Brazilian Girls - Good Time (Diplo Remix)

Brazilian Girls's new single "Good Time" is available on iTunes right now and celebrates the anticyclic act of post-depression-partying. AIG stockholders, please don't click here. Diplo's remix boils it down to an even more basic premise, but maybe that's because the dude has been at a party since 2003.

#234 The Cool Kids - Delivery Man (9th Wonder Remix)

While waiting for the debut album "When Fish Ride Bicycles" i even post a mediocre 9th wonder remix. what happened, man? did fruity loops crash, or something? Maybe i'm too harsh. Check for yourself.

PSA: Don't Buy Albums from jeff on Vimeo.

Well, uhm, yeah. I have to delete my myspace account, i guess...

#230 Maino - However Do You Want It

Hi Haters!

#229 50 Cent vs. Eminem

Truth is: whithout Eminem, there would'nt be a phenomenon called 50 Cent. Now both of them kinda surpassed the "pleasedon'tbotherme"-line a little too often recently.

Now both of them come back with a new single.

50 Cent: Get Up



Eminem: I'm Having A Relapse



I'm not sure, how to decide...it's up to you..

#228 Black milk feat. Pharoahe & Sean Price - The Matrix

This one is a monster. Produced by Black Milk. Again. Cuts by DJ Premier. Even hiphop stalinists have to love that one...

#227 Torae - Switch

This one is a monster. Produced by Black Milk. Protect ya neck, folks....

#226 RBMA 2008 Lecture @ Barcelona - Buraka Som Sistema

Over the last few years, Angolan kuduro riddims have spread through the capital Luanda and out to migrant communities in Portugal. Right now, the style is a huge force in Portuguese pop music and the super-tough Buraka Som Sistema are leading the charge.

#225 RBMA 2008 Lecture @ Barcelona - Blu & Exile

interesting, what these dudes have to say. even more interesting, what the host bloke wants to know...
edit: check out what exile does to his MPC. Jump to minute 25, or so...

#224 Patrick Stump - Love Lockdown

let the remix madness start!!

#223 Studio Time With Morgan Geist

The good folks from Fader TV popped by at Metro Area, now solo artist, Morgan Geist. Something for equipment geeks.

check out a track off from his new album "Morgan Geist" called "Most Of All"

# 222 JME - Juju Riddim

Obviously JME is the only one doing that something, we used to call "grime"...and he's actually doing a great job.

#221 Young Jeezy - Amazin'

Best hook in a rap song 2008: "Bitch, I'm amazin' / Look what I'm blazin' / Eyes so low, yeah, i look like an asian".
How stupid is that?!??"! But besides that, this one is an ego booster....

#220 Bangladesh feat. Rick Ross & Busta Rhymes - Girls Love Me

Usually, we do expect a little more madness on a bangladesh production, right? But one has to pay the bills, right?

#219 Elzhi feat. T3 - Save Ya

Off from The Preface a 16-track album, produced almost entirely by production star Black Milk, features guest appearances Royce Da 5'9", T3 (Slum Village), Guilty Simpson, Phat Kat, and more. Surely one of the better hip hop records of 2008 The Preface is in stores now via Fat Beats Records.

#218 MC Ren - Return Of The Villain

My personal westcoast revival continues. Former NWA hero MC Ren is at it again...dead bodies included.

#217 The Fixxers feat. Kay L - Offshore Flow

As a huge fan of the song "Can You Werk Wit Dat", i was waiting for this to happen. Check DJ Quik's MySpace for more.

#216 Kanye West - Love Lockdown

Apparently off from the new album. But more likely nothing but a teaser to irritate folks. expect the unexpected - i like....

#215 Not Giving A Fuck

it's that simple...

#214 Big Boi - Dubbz

"Dubbz" is presumably the third single from Big Boi's coming very soon Sir Luscious Left Foot. A great car anthem, i'd say. Whatever car you have.

#213 Johnson & Johnson - Up All Nite

Johnson & Jonson is Blu from LA and producer Mainframe. Powders & Oils, initially meant as a mixtape but turned out too good to not be properly released. If you like what you hear, definitely check Blu's solo joint "Below The Heavens".

#212 Lauryn Hill - World Is A Hustle

i wonder, what she's doing right now...and what about pras and clef?

#211 Wiley - Summertime

Wiley - Summertime


okay, let's face it: summer is over. flashy colours still bringt it back. somehow..
question: did he really clear that sample...naaah!

#210 DJ Laz feat. T-Pain - Morena 08

There's a pimp inside of every one. Plus: tribal shirts never go out of style. gosh!

#209 Elephant Man - Nuh Lingo (Usain Bolt)

Well...Jamaican pride sounds like this. still waiting for the John Holt vs. Usain Bolt mashup...

#208 Tigerstyle feat. Vybz Kartel, Mangi Mahal and Nikitta - Balle! Shava! (Sinden Remix)

Scotish Bhangra producer team Tigerstyle teams up with Vybz Kartel, Mangi Mahal and Nikitta and Sinden (from Switch&Sinden) finishes it. i love globalised music, really.

#207 Charles Hamilton - Windows Media Player

Charles Hamilton bolts out another one. I like his nerdiness and his laid back flow. Unfortunately Mr. Hamilton obviously ripped an idea from Wayne Lotek's "Control Alt Delete" song. Still funny.

#206 Daddy Yankee supports John McCain

I mean, freedom of speach is a great thing. But some guys really should not take this privilege too often.

please check the hysteric reaction of the crowd, when senator McCain announces the song "Gasolina". awkward, isn't it?

#205 Theo - Creator

Rhode Island MC Theo spits over the indestructable "Creator" of hipster's postergirl Santogold. i wonder how he wants to fight the lupe fiasco comparisons. check his mixtape "The Birth"

Theo - The Birth

#204 Inside Stanley Kubricks Mind

awesome documentary, of what stanley kubrick left behind. in thousands of boxes!

#203 World's Fastest Drummer

"Mike Machine" Mallais successfully attempts to break the world recording for fastest drumming. i wonder what benefits he get's by doing this...

Edit: he still is an arrogant moron, i can't help..

#202 The Grey Boy Allstars - V Neck Sweater

The Greyboy Allstars are a funk jazz band out of San Diego. This jam is a hot way to start your Sunday, especially if your drunk friend that slept over wakes up and plays it as your wakeup song. Are you familiar with the wake up song system? It might just save your life.

#201 Rhymefest - Bring It Back

"El Che" still sees no release, so somebody takes it in his/her own hands. An anonymous blogger wants to release a song off from the album, until it ge's officially released. the blogger claims to have stolen rhymefests ipod...naahh...

now you figure out, how clever his strategy is. and how much selfpromotion changed this game...just speculating...

produced by Jazzy Jeff. by the way...

#200 Jay Z Live At Splash Festival 2008

*blank stare*

Warning: big file, takes a while to load. MPEG conversion is a bitch....

#199 Mood Music

this is how i spend my evenings...damn...

#198 Saul Williams - Convict Colony

i truly want to read the expose of this videoshoot. or the treatment, at least. something. please...

#197 The Cool Kids: New Songs

Consider me a fan....


Oscar the Grouch


That Ill Work


Dinner Time

#196 Atari Blitzkrieg feat. Sadat X - Time Moves On

From the upcoming digital download and CD release titled A Hand-Made Soul.. Features appearances from Sadat X, Timbo King, Agallah and more....

#195 Beck - Modern Guilt

If you're not already a fan of Beck, I'm not sure this album will be the one to rope you in. But if you are, you'll likely enjoy it...

#194 Bloc Party - Mercury

New single of britains supergroup. would have been a great rap instrumental, too...

#193 Dels - Lazy

Dels' voice doesn't have the instantly distinctive tics of a Dizzee Rascal, and his verses have neither the idiosyncratic figurative language nor the standard-issue swagger of many other rappers. However, this direct, plainspoken delivery leaves plenty of room for Hot Chip, and reveals itself as an asset over repeat listens. Ask any writer: Being clear is hard work.

#192 Nas - Queens Get The Money

Everything you did not expect, when Nasir and Erykah Badu's boyfriend work together on a song actually happens on this track...surprisingly intense...

#191 Flying Lotus feat. Lil' Wayne - Robo tussin

Lil' Wayne and Flying Lotus - great combination. Really great. I want to hear him prodcue some Snoop stuff...

#190 Skepta - Rolex Sweep

SKEPTA - ROLEX SWEEP


simply great. especially the moves of the chubby dj...

#189 Common feat. Pharrell - Announcement

seems like Pharrell is taking over again, after colleague mosley dominated the first half of this year. "Invincible Summer" will not be finally heard till fall..great wording problem, i'd say..

#188 Baris K’s Eurasiamix / An Introduction to Turkish Cosmicspace

Baris K has done an outstanding mix of 70’s Turkish cosmic disco music, with prevalent psychedelic & Anatolian Rock influences. If you’re an oldies collector, you know how golden the Turkish 70’s are. In fact it has gone completely downhill since then and people are still hunting for the odd 70’s record, of course being a native of Istanbul, Baris is unbeatable in this hunt. With tight mixing skills and lots of reedits to get the tracks in shape, this mix is the hot topic of the town for all the cool girls & gals now. Artists include, Baris Manco, Ersen, Uc Hurel, Sezen Aksu, Senay, Orhan Gencebay, Selda, Okay Temiz, Ferdi Ozbegen, Mogollar and more obscure ones. Don’t hesitate to check this out if you’re into soulful retro disco music with words you can’t understand, on the contrary if you’re Turkish this should be heaven for you.

#187 Dizzee Rascal - Dance Wiv Me

uhm, i didn't know that r&b is the new grime. bassline is killin' it anyway...
still need to find out, what exactly hipster-posterboy calvin harris co-produced for this song...

edit: if anyone can tell me, what exactly a "smoke operator" is to be held responsible for, i'd be glad to know...

#186 The Creation Of Techno Music

HIGH TECH SOUL is the first documentary to tackle the deep roots of techno music alongside the cultural history of Detroit, its birthplace. From the race riots of 1967 to the underground party scene of the late 1980s, Detroit’s economic downturn didn’t stop the invention of a new kind of music that brought international attention to its producers and their hometown.

Featuring in-depth interviews with many of the world’s best exponents of the artform, High Tech Soul focuses on the creators of the genre — Juan Atkins, Derrick May, and Kevin Saunderson — and looks at the relationships and personal struggles behind the music. Artists like Richie Hawtin, Jeff Mills, Carl Craig, Eddie Fowlkes and a host of others explain why techno, with its abrasive tones and resonating basslines, could not have come from anywhere but Detroit

#185 Asher Roth - Sun God Free

new signing of SRC records (home of akon, david banner, wu tang), heavily supported by mixtape mogul dj cannon. good to see, that the "white rapper show" didn't do no harm to new artists. i wonder how he wants to fight the marshall mathers comparisons...

#184 Protons - Good Guys

new underground act from atlanta fishing in the seas, the cool kids discovered..still very good.

#183 Mickey Factz - Machine Gun

the new rap hipster bubble gets bigger and bigger. till now i am completely with it. check new york mc mickey factz...

#182 Artist To Watch Out For: Spree Wilson

I quote: ""When you're fearless, it makes your music better." Amen to that. This guy has tremendous potential..



Spree Wilson - Word



Spree Wilson feat. Novel - Dreamworld

#181The BPA feat. David Byrne & Dizzee Rascal - The Toe Jam

THE BPA 'TOE JAM' FEAT. DAVID BYRNE & DIZZEE RASCAL


i know it sounds weird, but after less than a minute you'll just ignore the fact that everybody is naked...

#180 N.E.R.D. - Sooner Or Later

off from the new album. sounds like lenny kravitz did the backup vocals or at least the guitar solo...im' just guessing....

#179 Wale - Hype

off from the highly recommended "Mixtape About Nothing"

#178 Lil' Wayne feat. Jay Z - Mr. Carter

off from "The Carter III". now you decide, who's the better MC...

#177 Bill O'Reilly Loses Temper

the self proclaimed moral conscience of america flips out. remarkable cool of the production manager in the background though...

# 176 Asio Kids - Gang Thang

sometimes i love promotional press packages:

"The Asio Kids are no minimalists. Bibo and Matt are producing a Hip Hop Wall of Sound. At times strings are reminiscent of the opulent sounds produced for classic Hollywood cinema. The juxtaposition with raps, scratches and electronic sounds creates an exciting album. There are certainly producers whose beats are more avant-garde than those of the Asio Kids with their old-fashioned love for analog real sounds. But like an old master who had no idea of Hip Hop but of all other things said: The most innovative servants shall be those who know the old and love to transfer it to the new.”"

yeah. whatever....cool video, by the way...

#175 Ribery vs. Toni

so beautiful. and somehow funny....

#174 Rick Ross feat. Pharrell - Get Down

to be honest, mr. ross usually turns my stomach. but if this isn't catchy, somebody has to redefine catchiness. any volunteers? thought so...

#173 Wiley - Fire Ain't Burning No More

still my favourite grime MC. off from his promotional pre-album album "grime wave"...

#172 Common feat. Pharrell Willams - Universal Mind Control

Looks like we have a new summer tune. though i really hope, that the rest of the album won't be that...uhm...Kraftwerkish?!

#171 Youtube Madness

obviously i am not a trendsetter by posting this - more than 2.8 million user did watch it, too. but nevertheless an amazing example of how youtube can boast complete bullshit to an international phenomenon.



this is an african response - only one of way too many....



holla at me, if you manage to get the tune out of your head in less than three days. i need to know, how you did it.

#170 Sam Sparro - Cling Wrap

i usually don't fall for the big all over hypes. but this dude actually has something...
