Reverend Jax Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Man, fuck country related blocks on content. After a few years of this region blocking shit, isn't there a plugin or app or something you outtatowners can run to make your IP appear to be from whatever country you like? I mean, Firefox and Chrome are so open, you'd think this could be done. I've seen movies where bad guys can reroute their...server...or something.

the division of joy Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I've tried a couple, they tend to be inconsistent and generally slow down browsing/block flash entirely so its not really worth it. And movies will be movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the division of joy Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Yeah, guys got a few albums of mostly instrumental work. I really dig it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Nice one, DOJ. I'm digging this RJd2. I'll definitely seek more of his stuff out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 ok, lotta updates. first up: the BET awards are only worth watching each year for the cyphers (circles of dudes going in lyrically), i havent seen DMX's return one yet, but the Shady 2.0 one is hot. Yelawulf opens, followed by Slaughterhouse (Joe Buddens reminds me when i liked him, i gotta listen to more Joel Ortiz), but i gotta say - between this & Bad Meets Evil 2, Em (still passed his prime) is finally back for me - less yelling, more complexity. i was worried he was stuck on the rich white guy blues, but he destroys this thing. <object width="628" height="386" id="kickWidget_176704_437150" name="kickWidget_176704_437150" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://serve.a-widget.com/service/getWidgetSwf.kickAction"><param'>http://serve.a-widget.com/service/getWidgetSwf.kickAction"><param name="movie" value="http://serve.a-widget.com/service/getWidgetSwf.kickAction" ></param><param name="FlashVars" value="affiliateSiteId=176704&widgetId=495995&width=628&height=386&playOnLoad=0&js=1&autoPlay=0&revision=80&mediaURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bet.com%2Fvideo%2Fhiphopawards%2F2011%2Fcyphers%2Fhha-digitalcypher-s9%2F_jcr_content%2Fleftcol%2Fvideoplayer.mrss%3Ftype%3Dembed" ></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent" ></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" ></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" ></param></object> i dont normally follow Crooked I, but he did an amazing freestyle here: speaking of, if you're into freestyles: Complex rates (and samples) the top 50 radio freestyles okay, so on to Nas - cannot wait for Life is Good later this year, he's doing some of his best work in years: <p><a href="http://vimeo.com/30381262">Nas - "Nasty" Music Video (NasirJones.com)</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/nasirjones">Nasir Jones</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p> my man Jay Electronica does a track for Modern Warfare 3, for some reason. also, for DoJ & the experimental crowd: you guys ever heard Electric Circus? Common tried his had at a psychedelic/alternative album, with mixed results, but you can't go wrong with Dilla beats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 That common track sounds like something straight out of Janelle Monae's album. I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 . . . but i gotta say - between this & Bad Meets Evil 2, Em . . . destroys this thing. Yup. He blew the rest out of the water. That flow was sick enough to put out on iTunes. The Common track is an oldie but a goodie. I think that's Jill Scott on there, right? And the Crooked I freestyle was really good, too. You coulda warned us to come in around the 6 minute mark though. That was A LOT of mush-mouthed DJ bullshit to wade through before the freestyle started.

The NZA Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 pretty sure that's her, they work together a lot. and yeah, my bad, i never learned how to link a youtube video @ a certain point, or i'dve done it for sure. there's a few guys (budden's not my favorite these days, but he's one of them) who im down to list talk about hip-hop, most DJs are hype-men that get boring pretty quickly, i agree. /DRAKE DEFENSE FORCE okay so i know drizzy's all over the radio and young money's been the new g-unit, but i'm strangely excited for Take Care. one thing that all 3 of the main artists have in common is that they go hard on their mixtapes, and have shown they've got more talent than they put on their albums, which again makes sense cause getting paid is a different model these days. i.e, Nicki's album was garbage but ive heard her freestyle; Wayne's Carter IV was a weed plate but years back, fellow hondonian WhoDey got me onto Tha Carter II, Da Drought 1/2 and he's got chops. Drake though, his first mixtape was undeniably good, and even his first album wasn't bad by me - his content is tired as fuck just like most everyone else, but his style isnt bad and going OOOOOOOOHHHHHH like its his tag hasn't completely thrown me off, likely because i'm a fan of his production most times. before the radio makes me despite it, i gotta say, his new single is nice. TL;DR i hate the SAT word association shit ("ya career's dead...GHOSTBUSTERS"), and i think wayne's capable of some of the worst metaphors/similes ive heard, but i give it to them for trying to bring back lyricism and having an ear for production.

The NZA Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 ...wow. i am prepared to eat so much crow @ Detox. if he's scrapped those other bullshit tracks (Kush wasn't bad) and putting '01 type shit like this on there, i'm gonna be all over it. please dont sonic cycle me on this, dre; nas already does that enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 " Ludacris has revealed the cover art for his upcoming mixtape 1.21 Gigawatts, premiering on DatPiff.com on November 15th (via HHNM). Guests for the project include Rick Ross, Meek Mill, Gucci Mane, Wiz Khalifa, Waka Flocka Flame, 2 Chainz and more. Production comes courtesy of FKI, Big K.R.I.T., Juicy J and more." speaking of K.R.I.T., dude's doing an album with the Roots! "Make my" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 The Roots track is ok. I don't hate it. However, that Dre track is killer. Has the old skool feel w/out being dated. Looking forward to Chinese Democracy his album being released sometime before the end of the decade. some Jazz-Hop kinda stuff, but with lyrics: great instrumental: Fuck and yes. Both of those are homeruns. Just a reminder, the TCQ doc is on video now. I'm looking fwd to watching it. And I'll leave y'all w/ some Mos Mathematics . . . And a little bit of fat booty . . .

The NZA Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 can't go wrong with Mos! at least, most times. those tracks are good. glad you liked the instrumentals (trying to update that thread too), and yeah, Detox by 2020 feels about right. that Tribe docu.... *sigh* do watch it, but prepare for some heartbreak. few bits with Jerobi that really tore me up, and not just because i was inebriated. i suspect whenever the nujabes An Eternal Soul docu shows up, ill likewise feel low.

The NZA Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 Ye, Blackstar (Talib/Mos), Common, Consequence, Kid Cudi, John Legend (for hooks), uh, Big Sean i guess...this thing could have an incredible lineup. also, new Immortal Technique, with a Dilla beat! DoJ & others might dig it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 so, i was talking elsewhere about Dipset (cam'ron, jim jones, julez santana) and how i never got into their shit, and someone reminded me of a jones + mos def track i really dug, here it be.

The NZA Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 new Black Star in 2012! Kweli says: Me and Mos are focused on independence and quality of sound. We’re really into a Madlib/Dilla thing right now. Anything you hear from us is probably going to be that type of sound. And it’s about independence, so we are trying to find out the right mediums to get the songs out. When you heard “Fix Up” on Colbert, it wasn’t even mixed; it was something we recorded a week before. Now we’re at the mixing stage of the song and we are going to put that out ourselves. We have a bunch of songs recorded. We are just trying to figure out the best way to release them, whether it’s going to be one by one, EP or album. Right now, the plan is to release “Fix Up” and then Yaasin is working on aYaasin Bey Presents project and then we’ll see how it goes. I am working to put out a Black Star project for people to buy sometime next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
