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.

MISSY 'MISDEMEANOR' ELLIOT feat. PHARELL WILLIAMS - WTF (Where They From) (2015) So dope.

It's sounds like the who thing will have an old school vibe. It won't be just a rapper in every day clothes with a mic. I'm expecting a real show...fashion, lights, dancers, all supporting the main focus, the DJ and the rapper.

KRS-ONE - Drugs Won Now Hear This (2015) The new album drops in a few weeks!

Great little interview. I'd love to hear more legendary Hip-Hop artists talk about JJ+FP. I feel that they rarely get talked about by their peers.

Most us know that FP doesn't hint about something happening unless it's definitely happening. All of that "MAYBE" we'll tour stuff was him tell us, those who know him as an emcee, that he IS touring. I really wanna know the dates and locations because I'd like to see as many shows that are reasonable. Shoot, the fellas can hire me to be part of their crew. I have no problem telling my job I'm taking a few months off.

I like that your building it back up. To be honest, I liked that the website featured the basic information, such as the discography, lyrics, filmography, etc. I feel that that's what makes the website a one-stop shop. I know other members in this forum have JJ+FP websites, but I kinda like this one being the one that has it all. Are you just wanting less website to maintain?

Well, we all saw this coming... Former N.W.A. Manager Jerry Heller Sues Ice Cube, Dr. Dre Entertainment | Camille Travis | 10/30/2015 | 03:30 PM EDT Heller believes his character was defamed in the Universal film 'Straight Outta Compton' N.W.A.'s former manager has filed a lawsuit against the producers and studio responsible for the summer blockbuster Straight Outta Compton, claiming the biopic defamed his character. Jerry Heller filed the complaint against Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, the estate of Eazy-E, NBC Universal and others, reports TMZ. He believes the film painted him as "a sleazy manager who took advantage of Eazy-E, Dr. Dre and Ice Cube" and calls the portrayal "damaging." In the suit, he points out several "lies" from the film, which include: withholding a $75,000 check from Ice Cube; persuading Dr. Dre and Ice Cube to sign unfavorable contracts; having lobster brunches while signing contracts; and firing Eazy-E. Heller says producers used his book without permission for various scenes in the film and were never given permission to use his likeness. He is seeking $35 million in compensatory damages and at least $75 million in punitive damages, as well as all profits from the film. http://www.centrictv.com/entertainment/celebrity-news/articles/2015/10/30/former-n-w-a-manager-jerry-heller-sues-ice-cube-dr-dre.html

THE DISPOSABLE HEROES OF HIPHOPRISY - Language of Violence Hypocrisy Is the Greatest Luxury (1992) Michael Franti's other group was just as dope as Spearhead.
