FEATURE: MC Lars

Clown College

A lot of MCs suffer from an identity crisis. It is not uncommon for a rapper to show a totally unexpected facet of their personality outside of the recording booth, for better or for worse. Be it an artistic decision or not, many artists can’ t even decide who they are on the mic. Tupac could switch from playing the belligerent gangsta on one verse to being sensitive and vulnerable on the next. Lil’ Wayne thinks he’ s a rock star all of a sudden, and how many different personalities does Kool Keith actually have anyway? One thing about MC Lars that can’ t be said about many other rappers is that he is uncannily consistent—both as an artist and a person.

The video shoot for ‘Guitar Hero Hero’ is being …

Lykke Li ‘Hustlin” (Rick Ross Cover) (Video)

In hip-hop, putting new words on someone elses song is called “remix.” In rock, doing your own version of someone elses song (with the same words) is called a “cover.” This distinction seems worth nothing when Mickey Factz & Drake “remix” Lykke Li’s “Little,” the Lykke Li turns around and performs Rick Ross’ “Hustlin’” to an intimate crowd (who probably don’t do much hustlin themselves).

Movement ‘08: Day One

And so it began once again, Movement, Detroit’s Electronic Music Festival ‘08 version kicked off yesterday in the familiar environs of Hart Plaza right downtown next to Joe Louis arena where the Red Wings were playing for the Stanley Cup.

Five stages boasted thunderous sound and the side stages feature roofs without ever feeling confining. Perfect weather greeted a first day highlighted by sets from Newcleus, Jooris Voorn, Deadmau5, Moby and Christian Wunsch.

First up of note was Deepchord presents Echospace with an afternoon set that washed the main stage in enough bass to match the warm sunshine, but with enough rattle to fight right …

Bottom-Tale Coachella

How did Steve Aoki forget his bathing suit? His wet briefs must have felt weird bunched up inside his jeans. If I were him, I would have DJ’d in my underwear. You can do that at a pool party.

The BPM mansion: we weren’t allowed inside to pee. “Someone” might let it go in the pool before climbing out to a porta-potty set up in the driveway. On the subject, I don’t think I’ve ever peed less than I did this weekend. I was a cactus!

So Master Aoki did some Caligular water-lingering while we explored all the possible Hypnotiq concoctions on the menu, out of respect for our benefactors, and politely accepted Rocket Dog flip-flops. The sun licked our sugar-lips and par-boiled our shoulders. I turned from the marvel of strangers’ wandering gaze …
