First off shouts to whoever the guy was at the beach last night blasting this on his portable boom box while waiting to play his softball game. I was immediately hooked on this cover as soon as I heard it. Pissed off that I didn’t know about it already I refused to ask him who the artist was. I went home, hit Google and here is what I found out. The...

Not only is this the song of the day but it also served as the theme song for Juice’s bachelor party trip to Costa Rica. None of us have any clue what this guy is saying except EB but the tune is catchy and I guarantee if you listen to it once you’ll be singing it later on. I don’t even know if I got the name of the artist right but who...

No need for me to explain who the Red Hot Chili Peppers are or how long they’ve been around. What I will say and I challenge anyone to tell me different. Stadium Arcadium is the best double CD to ever be released in any music genre. Even better than the Notorious BIG’s Life After Death but not by much! Prove me wrong. I’m turning down all...

Demigodz! Shouts to Apathy up there in Willimantic. This is off their first album that was released not too long ago, KILLmatic. ...

This is by far the hardest Wu-Tang song ever released. Prove me wrong! There is always some confusion about who is actually on this track so I laid it out below. It’s pretty much great all around but it’s the last verse from Cappadonna that really shines. Absolutely insane. Shouts to Action Jackson for this one! Chorus: Raekwon First verse:...

The Eelkcloner – The experimental / chemical sound from inside the mind of a film composer. The Elkcloner is the exciting new project of Serbia native, New York resident and acclaimed composer/music producer Filip Mitrovic. Earlier today I posted my “daily” HOTness and while I was watching the commercial I realized the song in the background...

Wikipedia – Ahmad Ali Lewis was born and raised in South Central Los Angeles. He made his recording debut in 1993 on the soundtrack of The Meteor Man with the song “Who Can.” Released when Ahmad was only 18, “Back in the Day” the remix version (produced by Maurice Thompson & Jay Williams of Barr 9 Productions) hit #26 on the...

Tony D usually handles the songs of the day but I had to jump in with one from my college days. Lit only had a couple of hits, but this one definitely doesn’t get enough love. Not only is the video great, no chorus has ever summed up the life cycle of a failed relationship better than: You make me come… You make me complete… You make me...

Of Monsters and Men were back on SNL last night and like always they were amazing! Here are their performances of “Little Talks” and “Mountain Sound”. I have to admit I would have never even given them a chance if someone I know didn’t turn me onto them. Seen them twice in concert…..Awesome! Then there was also this time...

It’s been one year since the passing of Adam Yauch aka MCA……The Beastie Boys were definitely the group that pushed me into the hip-hop scene around the time I was 8 or 9. Such a shame to lose someone like MCA at the age of 47 when you know he had plenty more in the tank. R.I.P. Adam Yauch Well I got to keep it going keep it going full...

Sad news people, Chris Kelly, one half of Kris Kross has passed away of a suspected drug overdose. Now if you were an 80′s baby and you never tried to put your pants on backwards for the day you never lived. The funny thing is that it was the most uncomfortable feeling in the world. No way you could walk around and function all day with the zipper of...

This goes all the way back to 2001…..Eminem, Proof and D12 in a session for the Tim Westwood show. Classic shit from 12 years...

Lil’ Wayne seems to go from red-hot to awful in the blink of an eye. I mean two weeks ago he was releasing songs with Limp Bizkit and now he’s putting out good music. So this track if off his I Am Not a Human Being II album. It’s very simple, especially the wordplay but man it’s gets the job done. The beat is toughhhhhhhh and...

This was the anthem back in the day…..Look it up kids. Camp Lo kinda fell off a little after this. I know they were still putting out albums but they were just ehhhhhhh. Until they came back in 2008 with their new single “Lumdi”. Then just like that they were gone again. Oh...

Ash Roth seems to be hit or miss for me. Most of the time it’s hit though. He obviously will forever live in the shadow of Eminem the greatest white boy to ever touch a microphone but then again most rappers do. I heard this one a couple years back and instantly knew it was a hit. The pace, the beat, the word play, the honesty and just the overall...

The other day I put up The Roots song of the day and it got me thinking about how underrated Black Thought is so I had to go find this track from awhile back. I have no idea where it’s from or what show it was on. All it says is Tanko @ Work. No idea what that means but this shit goes! I wish I knew what this beat was from because it’s fire! I...

Chances are you heard this song in numerous TV shows, commercials, movies, everywhere…..The group is Spoon, this is I Turn My Camera On and its off their Gimme Fiction album. Precision Punk is what they call it. I just call it the theme song for my...

...

After the events of yesterday I find myself pissed off, depressed, aggravated, helpless…..Just a whole bunch of different things. This song probably hits on all those feelings. Blast it at high levels, sing along and smack anyone who tries to stop you because after all…… The world is a vampire, sent to drain Secret destroyers, hold you up...

The Roots are legendary. 10 albums, 2 EP’s, two collaboration albums and countless amounts of collaborations with various artist. They do so many things you can’t even put them into a genre. One of my favorite tracks off their 2nd album Illadelph Halflife is What They Do. 1996 seems so long ago…. PS – Is this what bathing suits and...

If this beat doesn’t make you wanna punch someone in the face you’re hard of hearing….I’m not sure how many songs Redman and Eminem made together but it definitely isn’t enough. They both play off each other well and they both have that same I don’t give a fuck attitude. In Em’s case he used to have this attitude but...

….and just like that Jay-Z puts himself right back on top of the game. It’s great listening to these lyrics because unlike a lot of other rappers out there he has actually experienced the things he raps about. Get em’ Hov. Politicians never did shit for me Except lie to me, distort history Wanna give me jail time and a fine Fine, let me...

Off that Scram Jones & Raekwon – The Chef Vs. The Beast (Mixtape) This.Shit.Goes – Shout out to the 90′s. Download the mixtape...

It never dawned on me that this track is actually not on Method Man’s Tical album. I would have argued with you to the death that it was. The original obviously was but the remix was released a year later with Mary J. Blige added to it. The song peaked at #3 in 1995 and to date as a single it has sold over 1.2 million copies. That’s 1,200,000...

Not sure how I first found out about Hugo but the minute I heard Bread & Butter I was instantly hooked. His music has been dubbed by Roc Nation as gangster rock but I really don’t see the gangster part. Either way the first two songs he ever released were pretty damn good. That led to him writing a song for one of Beyonce’s albums. Which...
