FREE Amadeus the Stampede Disc Download
Posted on July 31, 2010 by Chris Faraone
Amadeus is one of those cats who releases more mixtapes and albums that I can keep up with. In the past year alone he dropped like three discs – including a group project with Zombie Death Squad – and he tells me that he has like three more in the can. If you don’t know Amadeus, his shit is tough as hell with a slight Wu-Tang edge for sure. This is one of his first discs – recorded something like seven years ago. ‘Bout to give it a whirl myself…

Rakaa – “Crown of Thorns” | 3.5/4 Stars
Posted on July 30, 2010 by Chris Faraone
And suddenly it dawned on me: if rappers didn’t hastily release every track they record, there would be a lot fewer shitty hip-hop discs and a lot more crown victories like Rakaa’s solo debut. The components here could have been used as a dozen bangers on that many mixtapes, or as a concentrated cauldron of vast conceptual abilities, but the always reliable and often slept-on West Coast stalwart prudently chose the latter.
I feel the pain of anyone who might be saying, “I always liked Dilated Peoples, but I can’t see myself getting into a whole Rakaa project.” I had similar thoughts before diving into the dramatically strung-out “Observatory” with Mad Lion, and feel-good Babu beat stabs like “C.T.D.” A couple of dud throwbacks briefly interrupt, but otherwise Rakaa has painted the sort of edgeless canvas that even the most eclectic acts are scared to make these days.
In a thoughtfully sequenced hour, our protagonist finds love, loses it, builds his ego, bruises it, meets hip-hop, and influences it. Team player that he is, Rakaa also taps some brethren for production and posse cuts, but for lack of the appropriate metaphor, Crown of Thorns is his cross to bear.

Jaysaun Steps Out On His Own
Posted on July 29, 2010 by Chris Faraone
“I never thought that people wanted to hear just me like that, but as my career developed, it turned out that they did,” says Jaysaun. We’re talking at his plush new BNB Studio in Brockton. “I’m always loyal to a fault — if the fucking ship is sinking, I’ll drown on the boat. Even if people saw me as a leader with the Kreators, I never saw myself like that. To me, I was just a cog in the ship, and as the ship started falling apart, I had to get in the driver’s seat. That’s plagued me, but now I’ve learned that you have to do some things on your own.”
Jaysaun rocks Jerky’s in Providence this Saturday and Church in Boston August 6

Because Wite Asked So Nicely…
Posted on July 27, 2010 by Chris Faraone
…And because Cymarshall Law is fucking dope, and I’ve definitely been sleeping on him.
Hey Wite – I know this kind of ruins the joke, but I’ve been loving your comments. Straight cracking up over here…
…Almost as funny as the time I used mayonnaise to penetrate your girl’s roast beef.

Sam Adams Fans Still Mad At JTTS
Posted on July 27, 2010 by Chris Faraone
Every week or so, when I check the comments that for some reason get caught in the WordPress spam filter, there are at least two or three latent defenses of Sam Adams (who, as you’ll notice above, has moved on from beefing with lowly local hip-hop blogs). My guess is that his new fans get all worked up when they Google for topless pics and discover our Sam Adams Week posts. Anyway – here goes the King Kong of all craziness, from someone who calls them self Coast 2 Coast Kid. Just arrived this morning. Pretty remarkable stuff…

Click Animosity Shows You Bitches How To Make A Video
Posted on July 23, 2010 by Chris Faraone
Check the latest from Mission Hill’s resident degenerate crew Click Animosity (Gage + Trust + Rheto). Dope rough track; as for the video – it just goes to show that all you really need is a camcorder and a few forties to make shit happen. Rheto’s been telling me for some time that he has projects coming, and it looks like this one is melting together quite nicely (or as nicely as possible for a group of misanthropic vagrants).

You Gotta See “Winnebago Man” This Weekend
Posted on July 23, 2010 by Chris Faraone
Twenty summers ago, in the deep sweat of nowhere Iowa, a hired crew set out to film the lamest sort of low-budget sales video imaginable. But what could have been a mundane if not suicidal assignment spun into accidental comedy, as the star of the infomercial, ex-network news producer turned industrial thespian Jack Rebney, allowed his physical and occupational discomfort to get the best of him. In a blooper reel that first circulated on hand-dubbed VHS tapes before blowing up on YouTube, Rebney barks such vulgar trademark outbursts as “What does the goddamn line say, Tony?”, “I don’t even know what the fuck I’m saying,” and, perhaps most famously, “My mind is just a piece of shit this morning.” Chances are you know the clip as “Winnebago Man.”
In the most voyeuristic society ever to spy this earth, Rebney, cooking on the inside of a hot tin Itasca Sunflyer, is one of our favorite folks to ogle. The outtakes from his Winnebago debacle have been viewed by tens of millions, many of whom (myself included) return to the peephole sporadically, or even regularly, depending on depression levels. Some people watch Seinfeld reruns to cheer up; some abuse Dust-Off and other household gases. But for a growing legion of YouTube boobs and mouse potatoes, Winnebago Man is all the medication we need to laugh away overdue bills and genital infections. Indeed, Rebney is the meme of memes — the Holy Grail of accidental celebrities, as one interviewee puts it.

New Joint from RADIx (Upcoming Disc Produced Entirely by Statik Selektah)
Posted on July 22, 2010 by Chris Faraone
RADIx has always been one of my favorite groups out of New England. There aren’t nearly enough duos in this age of excessive narcissism, and Seek and Quite Nyce bring the sort of dynamic ping pong rhymes that cats are just too lazy to write anymore. This preview joint is over an old Defari beat, but their upcoming disc, Say Yes, is produced entirely by Statik Selektah. Props to PUZL on the cover design, too; from what I understand there will be a major multimedia component attached to this project.
