Goin On and On, Like a Broke Record

I can remember when I was a little tyke, I would always wonder what it would be like to be black for a day. I always pictured myself with some fresh jerry-curls. Maybe looking a little like Pinky from Next Friday or Rick James. There were also those days where I pictures myself as the fliest b-boy in all of New York. Rockin' the jumpsuit and all. Anyways, back to the post. In honor of February being Black History month, I present to you Black Element. A hip-hop lyricist hailing from Boston, Mass area, Black Element mixes soulful samples and smooth beats which in my book equals mad respect. You definitely won't see this cat sippin' syrup on MTV with Lil' Wayne or autotunin' with T-Pain, he's got too much skills for that. So take some time and check out a couple of his tracks. If you really like them, you can check out his myspace and download his album for free (I repeat for free).

This Black Box Ain't On A Plane

This band from Belgium, known as The Black Box Revelation, is just what an indie/garage rock fan needs. BBR comes at a perfect time because the art of wailin' into a microphone while simultaneously playing fuzzy guitars has been lost for the moment. Well thank god for this revelation cause these dudes rock out! Their second album Silver Threats is out on PIAS and doing hardcore damage to all ears. Check out the couple of handpicked treasures that I chose.

Super Bowl time.....SWEETNESS

In honor of Super Bowl Sunday being tomorrow, I decided to do a throwback post. In 1985 when Da Bears went to the Super Bowl they released The Super Bowl Shuffle. The Bear's Shufflin' Crew feature the likes of Jim McMahon, William "Refrigerator" Perry, and of course "Sweetness" Walter Payton. The song takes you back to a time of sweatbands, high tops and Ditka. So make sure on Sunday somewhere between the shitty bud light commercials and the halftime performance by The Who that you pay tribute to this football anthem. For if it wasn't for the Shuffle, where would football be today>?

Kick Push

We sometimes get a little carried away here in the kitchen, and we tend to get lost in the dance music. So consider this post my apology, and hopefully I can make up for it with some fresh new jamz. The first one coming off the debut album from Blakroc, "Coochie" features Ludacris and the late great 'Ol Dirty Bastard. If you are not familiar with Blakroc, it is basically Dan Auerbach & Patrick Carney of The Black Keys laying down some sweet bluesy/guitar beats. Yes thats right Hip Hop! The Black Keys are known for thier blues-rock sound, but on this album they team up with some Hip-Hop legends to produce an absolute must listen for the newbies out there. We did a post last year on the album before it came out, so here is a little taste of what you've been missing. The second track comes off Raekwon's newest album Onle Built for Cuban Linx II. The song "Black Mozart" is produced by none other that the RZA. So sit back, get your dutchmasters ready, and don't forget to check out WellFed Boy @ UNF Skatepark on Feb. 20th. And if you can't make it during the day, the after party is @ Landshark Cafe. See you there...
