Common & Karriem Riggins Peform ?Thelonius? Live (Video)
2008-05-08 19:57:00

Wake up, G-ddamnit!! Hope everybody got some big things poppin? and all that goodness this past weekend. I definitely did, but I won?t get into that because I know y?all maw?fuggas don?t care. Well, for today, I?m going to let you guys know from JUMP that Monday, October 29, will be a Breezy's Off Her Rag Day. That?s only because y?all swear I can?t write a post without sh*ttin? on somebody, and that?s not true. I sh*t where sh*t is due, and those of y?all who keep it 100 should know that (oh, and by the way, PLEASE stop with the ?you?re on 50's payroll? comments... that?s just WACK). But today, every person responsible for each of these videos deserves their shine, so I?m definitely giving props all around. So, to start off things here, I?m throw this new joint from Guru featuring Slum Village on here. It?s called ?I?m Jazzy,? off of the Jazzmatazz Vol. 4 joint. I didn?t put this up here to critique the video, I posted it because this track is tight. But don?t listen...

(Random Banger #38) Slum Village - ?Forth & Back (Rock Music)?
2007-07-27 20:59:00
This joint ‘Forth & Back’ has been stuck in my mind all day, this beat is just too ill, and even though J Dilla’s recent work with his experimenting and what not was still dope, none of his new stuff can compare to his late-ninties sound. So what y’all know about that “Fan-Tas-Tic, Vol. 1“? ...

If Detroit Rappers were the Wu-Tang Clan
2007-06-29 18:37:00
Despite some obvious similarities to the Wu-tang Clan, D12 really didn’t warrant comparison to the 9 man strong team as individuals. If Detroit emcees were to band together and do a Wu tribute album (purely hypothetical) or form a parallel version of the group, this is how they would form together (like Voltron!). RZA - ...

I wouldn’t want to overwhelm those who haven’t heard it before. ‘Get this money’ is my official soundtrack for money motivation, you can’t not want to hustle after ...

The case against WJLB

The claims of “We are Hip Hop” or “Detroit’s station for hip hop and R&B” don’t really ring true when our most successful artists don’t ...

Slum Village and Chevy team-up to produce child safety video
2007-02-28 23:18:04
It might seem like Slum Village have been out of the spotlight for a good minute but you can be sure that thats not the case. SV is known to always be on the move tour wise in North America or Europe but lesser known is their involvement with General Motors. SV and General Motors came to an agreement before the release of the “Slum Village” album to cross-promote their products. Radio and television commercials featuring SV’s “Ez Up” were playing in Detroit and elsewhere as a part of GM’s “American Revolution” campaign. Elzhi and T3 have once again been recruited by the hometown folks at GM to produce a child safety song and video for Chevorlet/Chevy. According to the article the song and video will be made available through a cd and downloads distributed by Safe Kids Worldwide.
