Cut n Paste Videos

One of my favorite labels, Chopped Herring Records, has been putting out music videos for their artists and some remixes of songs they did. Think of it as Girltalk taking up editing classes and having a field day. Here are a couple of my favorites:

Here are the rest.

HELL YES

Dave Chappelle. Chris Rock. On the same stage. Touring. Have you shouted in joy yet?

It's not definite but in the works. Apparently they've been talking about it for a while and the Watch the Throne tour has motivated Chris to really push for it.

Is it Beef?

The Big Day Out festival continues to catch my eye for distractions at work. Chris Cornell, of Soundgarden and Audioslave, gave his opinion of what Kanye West's music sounded like. Here's what he had to say:

"Sounds like there’s children playing music there. Retarded children, retarded as in held back. There’s no other word for it."

Ok, so Kanye showed up late to his set. Ok, so you're not into Hip-Hop. Ok, so you don't like any good music other than a few songs you made, which are debatable to be on par across genres with Kanye's music. But leave the mentally handicapped children out of it. I'm burning my Chris Cornell t-shirt that I don't have. And then pissing on it while playing this:

Remember the old MTV?

Good. Because Diddy is bringing that ish back! In spirit. Starting 12/12/12, Diddy plans on running a cable network, Revolt, that will air exclusively music videos and music news. It's hilarious how they're advertising it to have an "urban" feel to it aka Black. It's ok guys, you can call it a black channel. BET does it.

I'm just looking forward for an "urban" pop up video with Diddy, Ghostface Killah, and Playboy Tre giving commentary.

Mr. RAGER

Kid Cudi's alter ego, or rather, his own damn self, Mr. Rager, took over the stage in Australia after his set got cut short:

He had this to say on his tumblr. So anyone planning on booking this rock star anytime soon, DO NOT CUT HIS SET SHORT. Or be ready to pay out for new equipment, Guitar Hero style.

By the way, we have scored a temporary victory against SOPA and PIPA (on hold in legislative purgatory), but another bill, OPEN (Online Protection and Enforcement of Digital Trade) has been introduced to protect Americans from outside "threats." Get familiar. My take on all this? Free information for everyone will eventually be worth it in the long run. I'm sure you'll find a way to make a living. Although there is that possibility that everyone will become that much smarter to the point where your dream job is in danger of saturation. Like how all of those immigrants are taking all of our jobs...

It's raining in NY

... and Joe Cool's Cooley Hi mixtape is just the cure. With a lot of the tracks produced by himself, this mixtape predominantly chiller beats but has those bangers like MK Ultra and I need it all. So if it's raining where you're at now, sit back and play this mixtape from start to finish. You won't be disappointed.

For the bold

Anybody with guts and the cash to back it up might want to clap tweet back (probably not the proper terminology) at Birdman to take him up on him and his Pats. He did alright last year with a Milli on the Packers (sorry, Ryan), so be wary.
But not really.
