Kanye to Drop Fourth Album in December Audio, Hip-Hop, Hot Shit, Videos | (0)
The new single, "Love Lockdown," is set to hit iTunes "any minute now," and rumor has it that this announcement conveniently coinciding with Kanye's performance to close the VMA's on Sunday is no accident and that we'll probably hear it for the first time that night. Yes, I am gay for Kanye; I don't care. UPDATE [9/10]: As so boldly predicted by Blogbdon, Ye' closed out the VMA's on Sunday evening with "Love Lockdown," the first single off of his upcoming album and a song he has since called his "favorite song 2 date." More importantly, the aforementioned new Kanye album, entitled "808's & Heartbreak," ...

Your New Favorite Song: May 21 Audio, Fancy Tickling, Hip-Hop, Hot Shit | (0)
Just a few weeks ago I posted a final-exams-limited offering entitled "Jonah Hill Day." In it, I posted a video of Yeezy playing Connect 4 with Mr. Hill to which I had taken a particular liking because of a song Kanye plays in the background. At the time I mentioned that: "the song Kanye puts on in the background is maybe the best song ever, and you’re probably wondering what it is. It’s his own remix of Lil Wayne’s “Lollipop,” and it’s sick as hell. I’ll try to get an illegal link to it soon." Well, "soon" apparently meant 25 ...

Your New Favorite Song Audio, Fancy Tickling, Hip-Hop, Hot Shit | (0)
Basing this new series of posts on my reputation at finding new/good music, the likes of which remain undiscovered by popular culture until a few years later when they become the new Maroon 5 (i.e. Jason Mraz, Dispatch, Guster, um O.A.R., the Beatles, etc.), I figured it was about time that I give back to you all, so that you can see how it feels to flash that "sick-new-song feeling" all over town. THIS WEEK'S JAM: Lil Wayne (feat. T-Pain) - Got Money [audio:LilWayneftT-Pain.mp3] For those non-computer-types, i.e. Ethan: click the little speaker-type button above to listen to the song immediately, and/or ...

I can't believe I never saw the resemblance myself; in retrospect, the mustache should have been a dead giveaway. In other mustache-related business: join the moustache me cause and make a difference! "advert + mustache = awesome"

2008 Hip-Hop Releases: Looking Better Than 2007…. Hip-Hop | (0)
Considering how sparse decent rap releases have become, I have hope that 2008 will bring a little more in the way of hip hop than 2007. Here is a list of "proposed" releases for the upcoming year, taken directly from cantbeserious.com, with the ones that I am excited for (all that matters, since I'm the one who reads this blog) in bold:1. Dr. Dre - “Detox” (Aftermath)****************2. Ghostface / MF Doom - “Swift & Changable” (Nature Sounds)****************3. Nas - “N***er” (Def Jam)*****************4. Raekwon - “Only Built For Cuban Linx 2″ (Aftermath)*******************5. Lil Wayne - “The Carter 3″ (Cash Money)6. The Roots ...

Plotting Racial Diversity Learning | (0)
While contemporary western societies have progressively evolved over time, slowly chipping away at the race-barriers that have eternally bound our civilizations, other parts of the world have been unable to do the same. This world map plots the skin color of indigenous people and provides evidence to both the homogeneous nature of countries like Central Africa, India and Saudi Arabia and the melting-pot-like countries like the United States and....well, look at it yourself.

The New Adderall? Fancy Tickling, Learning | (0)
After a year of testing, German researchers announced that they have perfected a method for inducing (and subsequently curing) autism. Peep this article from io9, a science-fiction blog, which cites the scientific article and then, more interestingly, describes some of the potential black-market niches it may fill: not only a adderall-replacement, allowing you to do nothing but "ignore your friends and do nothing but number-crunching for days" but also a valium-substitute, "where people who want to take a break from having messy emotions about other people decide to unplug and enter a state where human relationships are no more important ...
