I'm going to see Big Boi on Thursday night and rumor has it that Killer Mike will be performing beforehand (and I assume with Big Boi on the relevant songs too). Pretty excited, I saw Big Boi live once before and it was a really high quality show. He had a drummer and bassist and some other live instrumentation.

In terms of storytelling, I think J-Live is one of the most slept on rappers of all time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRhSTOFCqDU

Krayzie bone is good at story time, especially when the story is about selling fake crack glazed with orajel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eC-iyH90xU

If Killer Mike performs Willie Burke Sherwood please record it. I'd imagine it would sound epic with instruments.

How is A$AP Rocky live? He's playing live on my birthday and I already bought tickets, hopefully I won't regret it since they were really costly. $79 ea, but most international acts who do come to Australia always skip Perth. Venue holds around 2000 people if that makes any difference.

I've seen him twice, once at the Roseland (whatup WhoKnew) in front of 5,000 people, and once at an invite only show with 250 people in a tiny bar. Both shows were dope as gently caress. I don't want to overhype it or anything but A$AP Mob is tight live, they know how to hold down a stage without tripping all over each other.

June can't come early enough. I guess a hip hop show is only as good as the crowd, so hopefully everyone will be as amped as I'll be. On another note, new Danny Brown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfwURseLopU I love his videos, they rule.

What is the consensus on Saul Williams? I enjoyed most of Saul Williams, Amethyst Rockstar, and Niggy Tardust, but I can't shake the feeling I was deceived by the flashiness of Williams' lyrics.

Man, Illuminati must be on hard times if they're sinking to recruiting people like her and putting out this kind of junk. Of course, watch it be a #1 single or something. Also apparently she was trying to call out A$AP Rocky for being gay or something, Bol had it on his page. Maybe when he turned down the XXL cover that ticked off the Illuminati, and this is how they're getting back at him? alansmithee fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Apr 16, 2013 |

I know this isn't the type of poo poo most people are into here but here's Jurassic 5's reunion set from Coachella: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZkY0hXtM1Y I gotta say I never really listened to them when they were putting out records but I watched this set on a whim and it's really good. The Wu set was amazing too but I haven't been able to find a full rip of it yet.
