Homeboy Sandman is starting to be the appreciated under-appreciated MC. But is this fame and fortune changing our grounded homie? Not really.

Song of the Week- Jean Grae, “Kill Screen”
Moody, deep, and dark. Jean Grae shoots, directs, edits, conceives, births, crushes, destroys, kills, and does everything else her own goddamn self on her latest video. This is hip hop from the underground, as in Edgar Allen Poe was resurrected from his 6 foot deep grave, given a sex change, and started emceeing. Always great to see video as art and not just a cheap promo, the way it should be.
Cake or Death really needs to come out now. But in the meantime, free download of her mixtape, Cookies or Comas here.

This week we’re taking it old, old school. Many of you may not know who James Jamerson is but everyone of you has heard his bass lines. To get a feel just how amazingly he played check out these isolated tracks from Bobby Owsinki’s blog. Yep, he’s that good.

Song of the Week – Dead Kennedys – Moral Majority
One of the first albums that I loved was In God We Trust, Inc.
from the Dead Kennedys.
One of the best tracks on this album is “Moral Majority” which calls out the hypocrisy of the Christian right. This song immediately came to mind when I read that the awful person who somehow got elected to lead Arkansas said that great people were the result of forcible rape.
(skip to the 58 second mark to hear the song)
I’d also like to make two other points
1) If Rep. Todd Akin’s statements about rape were true none of the people Huckabee mentioned would have been conceived.
2) Huckabee and Akin are proof that truly awful people can come from consensual sex.
