I'm planning on going to a 90's event that Jeff's going to be at in Pittsburgh in September. I'm hoping it turns into a JJ+FP set.

DE LA SOUL + SNOOP DOGG - Pain and the Anonymous Nobody (2016) Peep it here: http://pitchfork.com/news/65826-de-la-soul-enlist-snoop-dogg-for-new-song-pain-listen/

DAWN ROBINSON - I Don't Know Why Dawn (2002)

This is crazy. I've passed over this single 1,000 times and never got it just because there weren't any remixes, instrumentals, etc on it. Now I gotta get this. Thanks for the heads up!

Yes, this is from the 1995 UK CD single, which has the same cover to the 1993 in a slim case. The tracklisting is as follows: 1. Hula's Radio Remix 3:35 2. LP Version 3:51 3. Street Remix 4:30 4. Hula's Dub 5:31 5. Club Radio Mix 3:55 6. Mr. Lee's Club Mix 5:02 7. Hula's Extended Remix 6:09

The cassette and vinyl release have a few extended versions as I recall. They also have "Another Special Announcement," which wasn't put on the CD release.

Hey everyone, I never thought I'd be one of those people who took a break from the board. It wasn't intentional, I just got super buys (and still am). I don't know that I've really been here all year. To sum things up, I was working on a show the first two months of the year. More recently I did a small part in another show, which we're also doing out of town in a few weeks. Life has been a mix of good and bad. I'm still stuck in my awful job, which keeps giving me a schedule that makes it hard to live a satisfying life. I'm determined to change that soon, but the direction is foggy, so it's hard to know what steps I want to take. I met this girl a few months ago who I totally fell for and I put it out as we got super close. However, she's in this empty long distance relationship that I was sure she was going to end and hasn't yet. She often shows she wants to take the step, but all I can do is be patient right now, which is maddening. I've been vibing to Arrested Development's two new albums and I've been revisiting Tribe's work since Phife's passing. Things are good, but tough. I constantly feel like I'm on the edge of good changes, but getting frustrated with how much is my responsibility and how much involves patience. I may not be hitting the board every day, but I'll be back. I've been catching up on old posts, so you'll likely late responds from me. I hope things are well with everyone.

Digable Planets Have Announced A Reunion Tour For This Summer Just when you thought their New Years Eve show in Seattle might be the last time you see you Butterfly, Doodlebug and Ladybug Mecca in one place at one time, Brooklyn legends, Digable Planets, have announced a full-on reunion tour for the heads of the world. Beginning at Sasquatch Music Festival on May 28th and continuing on throughout the summer, Digable will hit many of the majors on the festival circuit, including Essence Festival in New Orleans and Pitchfork Festival in Chicago, but won’t stop there, as sights are set on DC, Atlanta, Nashville and Salt Lake City amongst others in the continental US of A. And while there’s no word on whether we can expect anything in the way of new music in the meantime, their live and direct game should hold you over and provide you with that mid-summer nostalgia you’ve been aching for.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

PETE ROCK, DR. DRE, + KURUPT - Freestyle Pharmacy Beats 1 (2015) THIS IS DOPE!!

I'm only four minutes into this and that song is crap. Why does he rap in a high pitch, weak voice, and then speak in a natural, deep voice? I can't take this dude seriously. Not sure if I'll peep the rest.

I have this on VHS at my parents' house. I watched and taped this the night it aired!

BEASTIE BOYS - Body Movin' Hello Nasty (1998)

I wish he'd do more interviews like this where he's just unguarded and not rehearsed...just talking about common topics that get overlooked.

Will Smith is definitely a cool dad, but even cool dads question their children’s choices sometimes. That was the case for Will when his son Jaden decided to wear a Batman costume to prom. In an interview with GQ Magazine, the actor spoke about his son’s infamous outfit, the same one that he wore to the Kimye wedding. He told the mag, “The night before we get an emergency call from [his date’s] father: ‘My daughter has just found out that Jaden is wearing a Batman suit to the prom.’ So we talked to Jaden, and he agreed to wear a tie with the Batman suit. So, I blame his mother.” Check out the candid interview above.

ERYKAH BADU feat. ANDRE 3000 - Hello You Caint Use My Phone (2015) http://www.audiomack.com/song/2dbz/hello This JUST dropped now. I gotta be real, I much rather have an entire album by Andre and Erykah than I would Andre and Big Boi right now.

That article has a nice excitement to it, but is sounds like it was written by someone in middle school who did a bunch of research right before writing it.

Whoa, whoa, WHOA! Give this guy a listen!! J. MONTY ...I suppose this is a mix of a few songs off his album Second Born (2015)

I admire that you are still looking. I have a feeling it'll never be properly released.

I love the set and pyro. The dancers were on point. Admittedly, the lead singer isn't that easy to listen. Her voice is much more suited for the studio. It was a good performance overall, but I'm looking forward to him performing his own stuff.

Thanks for sharing this. It's been a long time since I've watched the video, but like you, I'd never seen behind-the-scenes footage.

I can't wait to see him rip it live. At the same time, the buzz behind the song has really died down.

THIS IS DOPE! I love that it's up for download too!! I agree that this is from 1989. FP's presence and flow fits right in with And In This Corner.... I love that their interaction is more like what you'd hear from the first two albums though with some of the previous DJ routines. Seeing this post is an awesome way to wake up.

This made me laugh. Hopefully it doesn't disappear like half the pictures I've posted here in recent weeks.
