Method Man and Redman Blackout 2…

Just got word that after almost 10 years since their original Blackout, Red and Meth are finally back in the studio working on the sequel. Gilla House, E-Sermon, Rocwilder and Premier all doing the majority of producing with appearences by Chamillionaire, Busta & more. I’m happy about this reunion. Blackout was one of my favorite pre-millennium albums. I got a chance to see these two perform at the Hard Knock Life tour back in ‘99 and I still consider it one of the best live performances I’ve witnessed. Haven’t been to many hip-hop shows where performers hang from harnesses 20 feet above the crowd, passin blunts back and forth with fans. When these two get together the energy between them is unreal.

Bling’d – Blood, Diamonds & Hip Hop

I caught this VH1 Rock Doc the other day and was pretty shocked.  Raekwon, Paul Wall & Tego Calderon travel to Sierra Leone and get a first hand glimpse of the diamond industry and its impact on the people.  Its one thing to hear about “a shorty armless” and another thing to see the footage. The disturbing irony of this show is that MTV/VH1 conglomerate is responsible for flashing more diamonds than any other TV channels… Hmmm…

Talib x Madlib = Liberation

The latest collabo from Madlib and Kweli dropping on Talib’s Blacksmith Music.  Got this the other day and as a Madlib fan I was most impressed by Talib on this one.  Madlib is genius as usual but Talib quit chasing his mainstream ambitions long enough to drop this gem.  Best Talib I’ve heard in awhile.  Hit up Mixunit to read more and cop it.
