New Michael Jackson Album

This album will consist of all new original music from MJ recorded before his death in 2009. Its now safe to say that Michael will be doing what all other dead musicians do best... selling records and making money.  Michael Jackson was even declared the Highest Earning Dead Celebrity of 2009. 'Michael' will be released December 14, just in time for Christmas. So you can blindly purchase it for those 'hard to shop for people' on your Christmas list. The first single 'Breaking News' will premiere Nov 8th on www.michaeljackson.com.

Jay Z explains what started the "Beef"

 Jay Z took to the radio to explain. It seems Jay is as confused as everyone else.  

Jay-Z Reacts To MC Hammer Diss Record www.djsemtex.com by Roy Thomas

MC Hammer Disses Jay Z

MC Hammer or "King Hammer" returns to rap to address a line Jay Z directed his way a couple weeks ago. He returns not only with a new song "Better Run Run" but he recorded a video for it as well. Who knew he still had it in him. Now the imagery is clear, Jay Z sold his soul to the devil for fame but the delivery? This song definitely has a sound but it happens to be MC Hammer circa early 90's. Now the line that hammer is refering too would be "The hammer went and broke so you know I'm more focused/I lost 30 mill so spent another 30/Cause unlike hammer 30 million can't hurt me" which Jay Z dropped in his verse for Kanye West's G.O.O.D Friday release "So Appalled."  The video feature a Jay Z lookalike running through the forest as the devil is chasing him, scenes of Hammer dancing in all white around a fire and of course some hard core dancing. "King Hammer" baptizes the Jay Z lookalike to close the video. Clearly, solving everything. This line must have really rubbed Hammer the wrong way but does Jay Z even care?

Banksy Does Simpsons Intro

     The infamous street and graffiti artist Banksy receieved the honour of creating his own Simpsons 'couch' intro this past week. This is the first time an artist has been invited to story board and direct the intro. Dark but pretty awesome. Also, this episode was extremely funny too.  Kind of surprised they aired this, according to BBC news there were reports of delays and 'threatened walk out by the animation department.'

Child Rebel Soldier

       The new G.O.O.D Friday track from Kanye West  is a new single from the recently resurrected rap super group Child Rebel Soldier. The group features Pharrel, Lupe Fiasco and Kanye West himself. Now these guys have claimed before that they would not be doing an album but hopefully they'll change their mind. At least an EP since they seem to be becoming more common lately. Although Lupe Fiasco has recently said this track is 'out dated' since it was recorded 2 years ago. It still sounds fresh to us.

Don't Stop! is the new track

Sometimes the Blues Is Just a Passing Bird

Folk Singer The Tallest Man on Earth releases a new EP titled 'Sometimes the Blues is Just a Passing Bird'. All Bob Dylan references aside, this guy is evolving as an artist into his own. Always a perfect fix for some sweet heavenly folk. 'The Dreamer' which has him going electric is definitely one of my favourites. Not quite as dramatic as when Dylan went electric but still interesting. I give the album a bunch of stars or two thumbs or whatever we do here.
