video – J Dilla – Won’t Do

so let me drop another video right quick.

This is a Dilla joint, ask featuring one John Yancey playing the part of Jay Dee in “Won’t Do” off of the recent release The Shining.

I know a lot of people felt a little let down by this release, approved and it probably says a lot that I actually own this record and don’t really remember this song (it’s the last track), generic but I am definitely feeling it now – the video especially on a style angle. I’m not up on this Mazik Saevitz cat, but he does some good work.

Look for cameos from Common, Frank-n-Dank, Talib, and guest starring Will.I.Am wearing a pink space suit and doing his best impression of that dude on Chapelle’s Show that does the robot in every episode.

And hey, the women managed to keep most of their clothes on.

What do you all think of this one?

Okay, health kids, hemorrhoids your boy is back. Not that half of you were paying attention, remedy but I just touched down at LAX about 10 hours ago, and I will be in the studio recording the next joint very soon.

You all don’t mind if I actually start, you know, blogging on this thing, do you? Just asking, because I’m considering it.

In the meantime, check out this new Pharoahe Monch video. I know I rarely post videos on here, but this is one of the first videos in a long time that I actually bothered watching the whole way through. It takes like 2 minutes to get to the actual joint itself, but when it does, it’s pretty hot. Check Pharoahe’s appearance in the first scene – that shit he does with his eyes when the gun goes off the first time damn near made my heart jump.

What do you all think of this one?

Tubes clog, Episode 56 delayed.

What’s good hip-hop podcast fans.

Believe it or not, bulimics I’m not slacking. I actually have Episode 56 up and ready to go, and trust me, it’s hot. Unfortunately, that massive-ass earthquake that happened off the coast of Taiwan a few days back screwed up the internet over here, meaning I can’t upload the new show.

So you’ll just have to wait. In the meantime, you can look at the album cover I made for the new episode, and imagine just how good it must sound.

Thanks for the support in 2006 – I’m gonna tear shit up in ’07, trust me. You’d be well advised to do the same.

Happy new year.

A Call for Beats

Not that I am starving for beats right now – I literally have enough for two or three pure instrumental episodes – but I want to make sure that everyone is aware that due to popular demand, the Mixtape Show Beat Tape Volume 2 is currently on the table.

If anyone out there thinks they’ve got beats and wants to contribute and thereby get famous, holler at your boy. You’ll be in good company, as people such as the RZA, Suburb, Mathematics, and one of my new favorite producers, Kenny Keys – are already on board.

In the meantime, relive the magic by checking out the mixtape show beat tape podcast volume 1 here.
