I love this track. Honestly, I wish Common had taken the track further than just female talk and done something more inspiring, but what’re you gonna do…I’ll listen to this all day.

“Price is Right” Sample by Lord Digga – Hip Hop
I mean, the rapper is ok, but the beat is humor. I used to get down on Price is Right. This comes from SamE!

Jedi Mind Tricks – Hip Hop, Underground
Jedi Mind Tricks are a good representation of underground hip hop. They got a dark style about them, but they present it with skill and their beats are ill. This is a throwback to their first album, Violent By Design.

Defrost @ the Good Hurt – Event Coverage
I had a really good time. The music was right, the people were cool, the band was dope. I would say they should bring up some more performers throughout the night, but it was a great night and a lot of dope energy was flowing, especially when the live music started. Here are some photos [...]

The Foreign Exchange – Hip Hop

Nat King Cole – Music
Nat King Cole is the man. He was a pioneer and a great musician/singer. This is just one example of his brilliance, his version of “I love you For Sentimental Reasons”. Play this song for your girl or your man and you’ll prolly get some.

Eternal Sunshine Theme by Jon Brion – Music
Jon Brion is one of the most talented musicians I have ever seen. He will occasionally play at Largo in Los Angeles. He helped produce Kanye West’s “Late Graduation” and is responsible for countless soundtracks and production that will leave you purely fascinated with human capability. If Jon were to read this, I doubt it [...]

Big L – Hip Hop
Big L was and is one of the best to rap. To those who don’t know, he doesn’t get as much attention as others who are considered to be the “greatest”. Either way, you should dig into his portfolio. This particular song I like because he addresses some real issues and gives some perspective on [...]

In a Sentimental Mood – Music
This is a classic song. The Coltrane and Ellington take is an incredible collaboration between two jazz greats and Ella Fitzgerald’s version is just her and a guitar. Both versions are legendary.
