Hump Day: Missy Elliot Bounces Back

Yea. I was saving this one. Saving it for a day I needed it and what do you know? Hump day seems to be just the right time. Missy Elliot finally comes back with a new single and accompanying video and to no surprise she doesn’t miss a step. Press play.

For a more in depth interview and what she’s up to check out i-D magazine’s exclusive. And for a list of what I love about Missy, she’s-

fun without the vapidness

conscious without the pretension or facade

thuggish without the ignorance

pop without being diluted

feminist without having to scrawl it on her forehead cuz she just IS

a rapper without having to have the prefix “female” affixed to it

Video Of The Week: Prince Po & Oh No – Smash ft. Pharoahe Monch, O.C.

Smash. Prince Po and Pharoahe Monch back together on a track! Damn, I miss them together. Organized Konfusion’s Stress: Extinction Agenda is hands down one of the most important albums to me, of all time, of all genres. I wish there was some of their rapid fire back and forth interaction on here but nonetheless they kill it. And I haven’t even mentioned D.I.T.C. alum O.C. yet, one of the most consistent emcees for decades. He makes the reunion complete, as he was also the featured rhymer on O.K.’s first single “Fudge Pudge” from ’91. I suppose I should also mention Madlib’s brother Oh No, a ridiculous producer in his own right, is on the track. Smash.

Check out Princo Po and Oh No’s new full length Animal Serum and Pharoahe Monch’s new album P.T.S.D. – Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Song of the Week- Sean Born “Grandeur (Prod. Kev Brown)”

To start off the new year, here’s a joint from Sean Born and Kev Brown. Hailing from the Mello Music Group and Low Budget fam, kings of making waves in the hip hop universe on the humble (not to be read soft) tip.

And pick up Sean Born’s new album, “Behind the Scale” here.

“A gritty 90′s style album for those who grew up on Illmatic, Midnight Marauders, Only Built for Cuban Links, Moment of Truth, and Ready to Die. Behind The Scale shows the other side of what some are glamorizing about street life and drug trade. This is unfiltered, real sh*t on tape. Some of the stories are intensely personal and Sean second-guessed including them, but if it ain’t raw it ain’t real. Behind The Scale is about change, transition and growing up.”

Song of the Week— Colin Munroe ft. Joell Ortiz “Piano Lessons”

Alright, so this is a little on the feel-good, cheesy tip but I’m still diggin it. Although, the video just reminds me I can never be a star cuz there are no home video recordings of me as a child.

Shout out to all the kids that quite their piano lessons.

This is a Danny Brown video so you already know it’s going to be on some other ish. This time he brings the scary future to our face pen & pixel style (I know you haven’t forgot about the ingenious design team behind the No Limit album covers!!!!).
