IT'S BACK

July is here and that means I'm resuming the hottest singles of the month. My flavors.me page is acting all glitchy, saying I have two soundcloud accounts and an 8track account (which I don't use anymore). So check out the soundcloud account I made for my (hopefully) monthly collection of singles put out by some artists that probably go under the radar. And this month, I slipped in a little something something for the 4th of July.

UPDATE: The folks at flavors.me got their act together! So head to my flavors.me page for EVERYTHING, except the mixtapes.

A Kung Fu moves you might want to get excited for

RZA, of Wu-Tang Clan, grew up on Kung Fu flicks. Hell, the Wu-Tang Clan was formed around the Wu Tang sword style found in a lot of the classics. And now he's teamed up with Eli Roth (Hotel, Inglorious Basterds) to put a project, long in the works, on the big screen. It's associated with Quentin Tarantino in some way so it's gotta be worth your time. Oh wait, Russell Crowe, RZA, and Lucy Liu will star in it? And it will feature new music from the Wu-Tang Clan, Kanyeezy, and the Black Keys? Yeah, I'm watching this. Multiple times.

Mike Tyson: Modern Day Soothsayer

The good folks at complex put a soundboard of Mike Tyson quotes together. Can you be mad? I ain't.

JUST WATCH

Click play. While you're watching, just thank yourself. Because once we get 49 other suckas like you to watch this, we're one step closer to getting a mixtape from this guy...

Be safe, kids!

The hilarious skits from Jimmy Kimmel just keep on coming. I doubt you'll learn anything safe from this but I could listen to Fozzie Bear tell stories about lighting friends on fire all day.

Nipwitz Presents: How Foreignors Can Make Use Out of Your Wastelands (Russia Edition)

Urban skiing at its finest. Really cool things going on in the world. Anybody else looking forward to the winter to snowboard/ski? Yeah, I must be the only one.

Required Summer Reading

Ever wanted to really know what goes on in the brilliant mind that brought you Trapped in the Closet and Chocolate Factory? Solution: Soulcoaster: The Diary of Me by R.Kelly and David Ritz. Available on June 28th, the autobiography contains childhood stories and grownup stories, like the time he chilled with Michael Jackson and his chimp, Bubbles, and went shopping at the Water Tower in Chicago. The best part? You can pre-order a Limited Collector's Edition, which comes with "eight exclusive special collectables created under R. Kelly’s supervision," for $200. You guessed it. You can finally give your girl a Silver "R" rhinestone pendant charm necklace, curated by Robert Kelly, himself. And now you can send your girl 2 postcards, hand picked by Robert Kelly, himself. Needless to say, I found my beach read.
