New Jay-Z and Tribe Called Quest Docs In The Works (Video)

Sadly, it’s not one film covering both acts at once, but two documentaries about hip-hop legends Jay-Z and A Tribe Called Quest are coming our way. The Jay-Z film, entitled NY-Z is a love letter to the city Jay refers to as his muse. It captures the September 11, 2009 benefit concert at Madison Square Garden, the same hallowed venue where Jay shot his last concert flick, 2004’s Fade To Black. And much like that previous film, the concert is chocked full of special guests, including Kanye West, Rihanna, Mary J. Blige, Beyonce, Diddy, John Mayer and Pharrell.

Pharrell is also slated to appear in the as yet  untitled documentary by actor Michael Rappaport celebrating the legacy of A Tribe Called Quest. News of the film surfaced on The Neptunes website yesterday, reporting:

A new documentary film will be released …

Kanye West “Coldest Winter” or Epic Fantasy Flick? (Video)

This song is rather unimpressive, but the clip suggests some lofty aspirations of Mr. West. It’s not “chilly,” as other blogs will call it; it’s everything we’ve seen in movies like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, etc. and it’s sex-ed up; that might work, but I think he should just stop chasing her–she’s just not that into you, Kanye. While on the topic of moving on, why not quit while ahead instead of beating 808s and Heartbreak? See for yourself:

Blue Daisy: Seen Through A Blue-Tinged Spectrum (Podcast)

URB Presents

Blue Daisy: Seen Through A Blue-Tinged Spectrum


With bass culture splintering all over the world, producers have been looking for ways to channel their sound in ways that were once unimaginable to listeners. Some producers went towards percussion, some with specific synthesized sounds, and others relied on atmosphere to distinguish themselves from the rest of the pack. In some unusual-but-wholly-sensible way, Blue Daisy fits that trifecta of sounds, going between rhythms, vibes, and beats with an ever-expanding soundscape that continues to grow with each release. With only two releases, he’s been championed by DJs and producers all around, setting himself up for a massive year ahead. Lying between the borders of hip-hop, dub, and tech, Blue Daisy delivers a mix that is a mystery to all listeners, as a tracklist was “unavailable.” It makes for an audible ride through the mind of a producer who is already one step ahead of most. Blue Daisy also had a bit of time to give us some info on his origins, his focus on spaced-out atmosphere and his future.

Common Returning To Form On Next Album? (Video)

He drops the hint near the end of the video after yapping about ‘Ye. I guess you could say I’m cautiously optimistic about this news since I don’t want to fall for the okee-doke. Then again with No I.D., Kanye and Twilite Tone on the boards I shouldn’t have to worry about it sounding like UMC 2: Electric Boogaloo.
