like spoken word? like rhymes and stuff? me too. meet ill-literacy. they’re coming to BC on november 10th with their band, the hi-life’s, and my man ricky s. (aka the people’s champ) gave me the head’s up. check them out, video below. pretty entertaining stuff!
want more!? check them out here. their site is pretty vicious, and i’m probably gonna swagger jack some of its features soon. might as well be honest.
…the laser gun carrying, milky way master. that’s atlanta. see me out there from the 8th - 12th. i gotta thank twitter & dan the man for these joints. like i said, if you’re in the A and you need a ticket, you can win one somewhere on this site. just delve, you’ll find it. figure out where you can get your tickets here. see y’all bammas out there.
oh, and janelle monae is opening for this joint. she has just climbed the charts of my brain to the top, man. wowzers.
CLICK BELOW to see the remaining dates. but real quick…does skateboard p ever age!? good grief!

the roots in concert @ BC
friday, september 12 in conte forum. $20 per ticket.
my UGBC connect told me that tickets are officially on sale from monday - friday during business hours in robsham theatre (no max # of tickets, but they will ask for a BC ID when buying it just to make sure it is BC affiliated). no need for a BC ID at the doors though, so anyone from around here can come in for the show.
oh, and apparently young money’s tyga is opening up for these guys. i personally think these guys attract two different demographics, and a few other artists would have been better picks, but you tell me how you feel about that.
thank the people over at UGBC for this special fall concert. seating is general admission, with the doors opening at 7 pm for the 8 pm show.
is it crazy that i’ve seen the roots in concert twice, and i still want to keep seeing them?
of course not. you know why? it’s because black thought could be my favorite MC i’ve ever seen perform live, besides lupe in atlanta and rakim/common (they tied, but are both extremely ridiculous!) at that park in brooklyn last summer. plus, each band member has a crazy vibrant personality. did you see the lead guitarist make his guitar cry last time!? and don’t forget about ?uestlove! the only drummer who has a library worth of vinyl. IN HIS HOUSE.
i got the new album, rising down, in the mail yesterday from an undisclosed source.
yes, i took a picture. everything from the album art to the concept to the actual tracks is vicious, young. DC’s most powerful mover and shaker wale is on the joint, too, which is like the cherry on top. and yes, me and quinn had him on the radio show last month. for like 2 seconds. but hey, we tried.
the two videos released definitely do some serious justice to hip hop, cuz i swear i was about to abandon the genre and have discobelle as my home page, young. check the joints out below.
the roots - rising up (feat. wale & chrisette michele)
wale kills his verse. DC heads, listen for black thought’s subtle go-go reference(s) during his verses.
i’m just sayin’ tho.
the roots - get busy (feat. dice raw, peedi crakk & dj jazzy jeff)
peedi crakk steals the show in my eyes, definitely his best flow since “fall back”. plus, i kinda like the way the video is shot. it’s like “the office” gone wrong. matter fact, i’m bout to go watch that show. but uh, roots & erykah badu will be at constitution hall on may 14th and 15th. both shows start @ 8, and i’ll be at both of the joints with my squad. see y’all there.
UPDATE: the duke came with some HEAT. busta and spliff star rhyming over the “get busy” beat.
Glow In The Dark Tour: Vegas ‘08 from thisislavie on Vimeo.
swagger jacked from c’est la vie. tell me i’m dreaming! i’m actually not even about to watch the whole thing, because i want to be surprised. but for those who need to see what kind of trippy, galactic experience the tour actually is, here you go. you better like it, or kanye will ROCK YOU. no joke.
and speaking of the glow in the dark tour, n*e*r*d snippets from that seeing sounds album are leaking. i saw this crazy microsoft zune ad, and they featured one of their new joints, “spazz,” throughout the entire commercial. since i don’t care for the zune, i’m just giving you the track.
download/listen: n*e*r*d - spazz (snippet)
might as well give you a live performance of it, too.
N.E.R.D. Live At The Levi’s/Fader Fort from The FADER on Vimeo.
wiz khalifa - star power. best trunk music. ever.
the native soul - an evolution. it's $ulaiman of blind i. rapping!
christian rich - the decay mixtape [think electrorock meets hip hop and dates it for a bit.]
the paxtons - members only. chi-town/dc-bred dudes. nice rhymes, crazy beats.
evidence - the layover mixtape. this joint is CRAZY.
crucial mix by PFOP's lo. love songs and such!
if coldplay and jay-z made a album, it'd sound like this.
GLC - i ain't even yet: the mixtape. kanye's G.O.O.D. music artist's latest offering.
dandiggity's eclecticuts vol. 2. assortment of eclectic cuts. obviously.
dj klever - flashback. CRUCIAL mix of 80's jams that you've probably never heard before.
g*two - one man army. newest talent out the DMV. he's nice.
he said/she said.
