He's the kind of artist that you check out anything he touches, no hesitation.
This is an incredible track from the aforementioned beatape. Bassline is so SERIOUS.
Someone chuck a Pete rock acapella over this!

Jawn of The Week
Ta-ku sent me The We-Rak Beatape about a week ago, and it's been in my ears since then. It's full of heavy hitting beats sprinkled with soul, chopped and prepared just the way I like em.

RE: Madlib's Medicine Show
Thanks to a heads up from Lord Inamel, and now the official announcement from Stones Throw's. Turns out that this project has nothing whatsoever to do with the show two years ago with Karriem Riggins and J-Rocc.
"Madlib is launching the Madlib Medicine Show, a once-a-month, twelve-CD, six-LP series. The Madlib Medicine Show will be a combination of Madlib's new hip-hop productions, remixes, beat tapes, and jazz, as well as mixtapes of funk, soul, Brazilian, psych, jazz and other undefined forms of music from the Beat Konducta's 4-ton* stack of vinyl.
Madlib Medicine Show No. 1 is Before The Verdict featuring Guilty Simpson, a 17-track album mixing remixes and new material, something of a prelude to Madlib & Guilty Simpson's forthcoming OJ Simpson album.
MP3: Madlib & Guilty Simpson - The Paper from Madlib Medicine Show No. 1
STONESTHROW.COM advance release date: December 2009
WORLDWIDE release date: January 2010
We are currently planning for the vinyl edition of Madlib Medicine Show No. 1 to be a hand-screened, limited edition release. Madlib Medicine Show No. 2, Flight to Brazil, is a mixtape of Brazilian jazz, funk, prog-rock, folk and psychedelia. Later releases will include Beat Konducta in Africa.
(*4-tons of vinyl, this is true.)"
Be excited!!!

Video Parts 101
To kick things off i thought I'd post some of my favourite video parts.
Anthony Van Engelen - Photosynthesis By Alien Workshop
High speed & long grinds to the sound of Iggy & the Stooges " Search & Destroy". Along with that classic alien workshop montage in between this part is a serious banger. I can only imagine what people where thinking in 2000 when the vid and this part came out.
Keith Hufnagel - Skate More By DVS
skating to Ratatat's Seventeen Years HUF hits up the streets of San Francisco. You can never really have too many ollies, which is something he executes to perfection & pretty much lets his skating do the talking...
Mark Baines - Waiting For The World By Blueprint
Bainesy's been holding it down for the UK scene for as long as i can remember. His style & trick selection is what makes this part so enjoyable. Skating to Elliot Smith's Happiness, Bainesy cruises through the streets of London hitting every kind of ledge possible. He's pretty much one gangster ledge skating motherfucker. Yeah Bainesy.

Pat Channita
Barlow linked me to some new Pat Channita footage the other day.
Needless to say, I was hyped as all hell.
He's been my favourite skateboarder since I first started skating in 98.
411 Issue 34 was one of the first skate videos I ever saw. (still one of my favourite skate videos today)
This is his section from that issue.
Peep the 360 flip at 1.45 min... Ridiculous!
Channita to me is the steeziest skateboarder, period. No one finesses like Pat can. Definition of butter smooth.
I remember basing kits of this video part for the next 5 years.
Heather Grey Crews, Light Blue Jeans, White shoes all day long!
New Shit!
Channita's still got it!
Doo-Rag ender like WHAT!!!

Madlib's Medicine Show
Two years ago I read this.
ST says it drops in December.
Supreme Team next please. (preferably without the 2 year delay)
"Madlib, Karriem Riggins, and J.Rocc arrive in UK to perform at All Tomorrow's Parties at the request of Portishead. They will perform under the name Madlib's Medicine Show. First, a jam session at the Heliocentrics studio with Madlib, J.Rocc, Karriem, Malcolm Catto, Jake (bass) and Ade (guitar). Madlib, Malcolm and Karriem alternated on the drums. Malcolm in the middle. J. Rocc on vibes sometimes."Today, I saw this.

Jawn of The Week
This week, I bring you track from a very interesting album called "En'A-Free-Ka" by Shafiq Husayn.
A week of listening, and the whole album is yet to fully grow on me, but I know that's usually a good sign, I find any album that you love from day one, is usually one that won't have any longevity and hold the test of time. It's always the ones that you didn't really get at first, and with time, grew that understanding.
This whole album has a very unique sound, it's got elements for Funk, Afrobeat, Soul, Jazz, Hip Hop all blended together ever so strangely. Even sonically, the mixing and sounds of this album are different and it's really refreshing to hear this come out in 2009. It almost reminds me of the kind of sound that Common and Dilla brought on "Electric Circus".
Shafiq Husayn - Love Still Hurts
I strongly suggest to anyone that is into music of any kind check out this album, it's something pretty special. Be sure to watch the interviews with Shafiq bellow to gain a better perspective into the man behind the music. (especially the last one, seeing all his equipment is so inspiring. also listening to him spin "Pleasure - Tune In" at the beginning is, dare i say it, a pleasure.
