Vince Staples recently performed Senorita and Lift Me Up on Jimmy Kimmel Live. The young and talented rapper from Long Beach, released his debut album Summertime ‘06, last Monday, and it’s insanely good. The beats, lyrics, flow, and production of it, has a pretty dark tone throughout the majority of the album. Only 21, Vince Staples will definitely be someone you’ll keep hearing about for years to come. Give the whole album a listen if you like his sound.
Kendrick Lamar Puts Geraldo Rivera In His Place, After The Ignorant Statement He Made On Fox News
“The problem isn’t me standing on the cop car, I think his attempt is deleting the real problem which is the senseless acts of [cops] killing these young boys out here. I think for the most part it’s avoiding the truth, it’s reality, this is my world, this is what I talk about in my music and you can’t dilute that. Me being on a cop car that’s a performance piece after these senseless acts.”
“Of course I’m going to be enraged about what’s going on out here, of course I’m going to speak on it,” continues the 28-year-old MC. “But at the same time, you can’t dilute the overall message.”
“Hip Hop is not the problem, our reality is the problem. This is our music, this is us expressing ourselves. Rather [than] going out here and doing murder myself, I want to express myself in a positive light, the same way other artists are.”
Well, I couldn’t agree more. Watch Kendrick lift us all up during his performance of Alright at the BET Awards. “Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon’ be alright“

Kendrick Lamar Responds to Fox News During An Interview With TMZ
Yesterday, Kendrick Lamar responded to Fox News, in an interview with TMZ.
“How can you take a song that’s about hope and turn it into hatred?,” he asked. “The message, the overall message, is we gonna be all right. It’s not the message, we gonna kill people.”
“This is our music…“ This is us expressing ourselves. Rather [than] going out here and doing the murders myself, I want to express myself in a positive light the same way other artists are doing. Not going out in the streets, go in the booth and talking about the situation and hoping these kids can find some type of influence on it in a positive manner. Coming from these streets and coming from these neighborhoods, we’re taking our talents and putting ‘em inside the studio.”
I would love for Fox News to have Kendrick on their show, for a discussion about the statements they made, vs. Lamar’s response. They don’t have a clue what they’d be getting themselves into. They probably think he’s some spoiled rapper with no brains, when truth be-told, K-Dot has a higher IQ then the entire staff over at Fox News. He would destroy them, and make ole Geraldo embarrassed for the things he said.
Here’s a link to Kendrick’s response on TMZ: http://www.tmz.com/videos/0_uxpkzlva
Fox News claim that Kendrick Lamar’s BET Awards performance “Incites Violence.” Fox News also claim that they’re the most ignorant, closed-minded idiots, on television. Kendrick’s amazing performance of Alright was a talking point on the latest episode of “The Five,” which is a program on Fox News. “This is why I say that hip-hop has done more damage to young African Americans than racism in recent years,” said Geraldo Rivera. Rivera continued: “This is exactly the wrong message. And then to conflate what happened in the church in Charleston, South Carolina with these tragic incidents involving excessive use of force by cops is to equate that racist killer with these cops, it is so wrong, it is so counterproductive, it gives exactly the wrong the message.” I really can’t even wrap my head around this. People like Geraldo Rivera, and major TV programs like Fox News, is the reason this country will always be held back from moving forward. Rivera, probably glanced at this performance for less then a minute, and decided to make this bold statement, just because he saw a black rapper performing on-top of a police car. He doesn’t have the slightest idea of who Kendrick Lamar even is, or represents, and wouldn’t be making statements like this, if he had ever listened to To Pimp a Butterfly, or knew anything about Kendrick. But like usual, people automatically know everything there is to know about an individual, after just a brief glance.

Makaveli (2Pac) was just hitting his peak on The 7 Day Theory, which is one of the realist albums I've listened to. "To the homies that I used to have that no longer roll Catch a brother at the crossroads... Plus nobody knows my soul, Watchin time pass Through the glass of my drop-top Rolls, hold ya head!" NowPlaying "Hold Ya Head" by Makaveli from The 7 Day Theory

Kendrick Lamar has shared the video for his amazing track Alright, which is from his (WORDS CAN’T EVEN DESCRIBE) album To Pimp a Butterfly. The video features Lamar performing a variety of crazy stunts in a black-and-white resolution. It was directed by Colin Tilley and the Little Homies. Enjoy...

The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory by Makaveli (2Pac’s Stage Name) is one of my favorite rap albums. The album was finished in 7 days during the first week of August, 1996. The lyrics were written in 3 days, and the mixing was an additional 4 days, which is insane. It was the last full-length album he recorded before his fatal shooting on September 7, 1996, which was around a month after. Compared to his albums before, The 7 Day Theory is definitely his darkest release. Shakur’s rapping style is still emotional, but is intensified throughout this album, and the production is so raw. He makes a bold statement by calling out all of his rivals, and all of his enemies, and it’s “the realist shit” anyone has ever wrote. Usually, it’s the realist people who speak the truth that end up dead, and Tupac knew the consequences and was willing to face them. Literally, he sounds like he’s ready to go to war when he flows. It’s sad that some cowards had to murder one of the greatest, because he was just hitting his peak. If there’s not a heaven for a G, for Pac, then I don’t want to go there. But I’m sure he’s sitting high up there, starring down on us, as he sips on a 5th of Hennessy.

Canal St., off A$AP Rocky’s newest album, AT.LONG.LAST.A$AP, goes off so hard. After quickly going through the album, when it was released, I really didn’t think too much of it. The more I listened, the more it kept growing on me, and Canal St. blows me away. I really like the experimental direction he chose to go with on this album, and the vast majority of it is stellar.
NowPlaying “Canal St.” by A$AP Rocky from AT.LONG.LAST.A$AP
This song Krazy by Tupac, just proves why I think he’s the greatest rapper of all time. After listening to most of his albums the past 2 weeks, Makaveli - The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, is one of my favorites of all time. The production, lyrics, and Pac’s flow, is just so raw, and goes so hard. This man was a true poet.

Disclosure have announced the follow-up to 2013′s Settle, and it’s called Caracal, which will be out September 25th via PMR/Island. Caracal will feature their new single Holding On. Howard Lawrence described the album title in a statement: “A caracal is an incredible wild cat that I became fascinated with while on tour last year; I just love the way they look, their physical capabilities and their anonymity. It felt like a perfect fit for our Wild Life brand too, so the caracal made perfect sense as the lead visual for the new album and over the course of recording, it also felt like a natural title for the new record too.“
Here’s the cover art for the album below...

Mark Kozelek, who has one hell of an impressive catalog, is at it again under Sun Kil Moon. Universal Themes was released earlier this week, and this is Birds of Flims, an epic 9-minute song.
And I went to my room I looked down at the waterfront From my balcony I felt The surrealness of my surroundings
I got in my bed Looked up at the baby blue ceilings above And thought of my home And my girl And I ached for her love
In Colour is the debut album by Jamie xx. The 9th track, I Know There’s Gonna Be (Good Times), sounds just like it reads, and features vocals by Young Thug and Popcaan. The album is a colorful arrangement of vibrant, beautiful sounds, with an eccentic mix of collaborations with vocalists.
This is the excellent, opening track off Surf, which is the long-awaited collaboration between Chance the Rapper and his band, Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment. This entire album is a joyful listen, but most importantly, Surf shows how powerful collaboration can be. Best of all, the album is available for free on iTunes. “It’s a miracle to be alive.”
Ryan Adams has been talking about releasing Blackhole forever now, and we still don’t have it yet. Blackhole was recorded prior to 2007′s Easy Tiger, and has gained cult status among his fans (me being one of them). It was the last album recorded when Adams was heavily drinking and battling drug addiction, right before sobering up for Easy Tiger. Last September he debuted a song called The Door on WXPNs World Cafe, which is on Blackhole (listen above). Also, he talked about finally releasing Blackhole; “Got to get it out. It’s the last record I did on drugs, and this album is a kind of finale of that time.” “It’s mastered and the artwork is done, so it’s there. It’s just a matter of whether it’s the right time.” So, hopefully we’ll be getting a release of it sometime, relatively soon.
