Stalley – Chevys & Space Ships (Video)
Ohio Stand Up. Here are some new, creative, entertaining visuals from the dude Stalley. Right in time to get folks juiced about his upcoming, free show in Cincinnati, OH. Don't know about you but I'll be there. #midwestyep
Spark The Brain
Our 40th birthday’s mark a milestone in our lives. I haven't made it there yet, but there's supposed to be something special about hitting the big 4-0. Something worth a big celebration and Hallmark cards made special for the newly minted 40yr old. Today would have been Tupac's 40th birthday. Imagine how monumental that would have been to him, and →
Tanya Morgan – Without Hands ft. Che Grand, King Mez & Skyzoo
I imagine by now people are either TM fans or they aren't. I can't really come up with any logical reason why you wouldn't be but, whatever. See if this changes your mind. Off the upcoming 'The Official SXSW Mixtape'.
Kendrick Lamar – HiiiPoWer (Video)
After my post from yesterday 'Lyrics To Go (Prod. by SCMD)' I get something like this that reaffirms why those who give thought to what they write separate themselves from those who don't.
Lyrics To Go (Prod. by SCMD)
Lyrics plus beats make up the HipHop marriage we all love. We love beats so much that there’s a market for them...by themselves. Producers talented enough, offer multiple tracks to listen to minus an MC’s words. On the other hand MC’s rarely even publish the lyrics to their songs. Let alone record them without a beat. Writer credits end at the →
Co$$ – Spaceman (Video)
I found this after reading the album review for 'Before I Awoke' on okayplayer. The album is a definite must have, so put it on the list.
Recess – How Do You Sleep (ft. Blu) [Video]
Off top I'm listening to everything Blu blesses. Sene is also in that category. That made this track a no-brainer.
Faceoff
I’m not a blogger with any substantial power or influence. At this point, my following is small (but growing and very much appreciated). I don’t let those things stop me from writing like I’m a blogger with substantial power, influence and major league notoriety. I also stay away from talking bullshit or saying things that aren’t true →

Reks – Why Cry ft. Styles P (Video)
Maybe it's just me...I prefer to listen to MC's when they've put some thought into what they're saying. Pick up that new Rhythmatic Eternal King Supreme + any and everything you hear Styles P on.
Ski Beats ft. Mos Def – Cream Of The Planet (Video)
Maybe you were already hip to this. I wasn't. Either way, it's good music and worth posting. 24 Hour Karate School available now. And I'm about to cop it.

Stalley – She Hates The Bass @ SXSW (Video)

Yeah, March 28th and 'Returnof4eva' can't get here soon enough.
Hip Hop Education Equation
You probably never thought you’d see the names David Brooks and Bun B together in a post about Hip Hop but hear me out. I’m promise one day it’ll all make sense. I saw David Brooks, NYtimes columnist a few mornings on Morning Joe. While promoting his book, ‘The Social Animal’ he made a statement that I →
