Walked by this half-drunk last night (shout out my brother for the text!). Couldn’t believe it. Kanye West will be on Saturday Night Live tonight, starting at 11:30 p.m. EST.

Turn it up.

Daft Punk’s newest album, Random Access Memories, is available to stream in full on iTunes.

I’m going out on Friday specifically because of this song.

I can’t wait for the summertime.

TASTES STALE, SEE THE WORLD IN SHADES OF GREYSCALE

MF Doom and Clams Casino? Yeah, I’ve listened to this like ten trillion times. Metal Face’s flow goes surprisingly well when slowed down to the pace of the cloud rap pioneer producer. Wish this got mastered.

Netflix to the head

Breakout lefty Chicago native Chance the Rapper’s new project Acid Raps is out now for download.

From Wikipedia:

Following a 10-day suspension from Chicago’s Jones College Prep High School in the spring of 2011, where his teachers ridiculed his aspirations to be a musician, he released his first mixtape 10 Day, which has been downloaded over 20,000 times from the mixtape sharing site, Datpiff. 10 Day was also featured in Forbes’ ‘Cheap Tunes’, where Chance was described as ‘an artist who draws upon a pool of these musical elements and pieces them together into an accessible, fluid amalgamation.’

Yep, it’s right up my alley.

There are instances when the strength of a whole crew is fully displayed on one track, a perfect combination of fierce production and killer verses from each member. “BetAMill” is exactly one of these particular cuts. Production is handled by Soulection affiliate Bosstone, who provides a slapper that is sure to push people’s audio systems to their limit; taken full advantage of by the UTB Life$tyle crew, particularly Pheo., Cashius Green and Dre Biggity, each contributing a verse hard enough to match the intensity of the production, forcing you to acknowledge their arrival on the music scene. “BetAMill” was a saying first uttered by Pheo. on his track “Angelina’s Beamer”, meant to be interpreted as an exhibition of confidence, which guarantees the success of his UTB Life$tyle crew, success so certain, you could bet a cool mill on it. - J Go

Even the children know that Wu-Tang is for the children.

Shot near my house on Harbord Street, Toronto.

This is a good example of happy sad music.

You might hear the expression that a rapper “snaps” on a song. Here’s an example of Pusha T doing that, with production by Kanye West.

Kanye’s upcoming LP is due this (cruel) summer.

“Did you hear about the rose that grew
from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature’s law is wrong it
learned to walk with out having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping it’s dreams,
it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else ever cared.”

Tupac Shakur
