Roller Babies Dancing to “Rapper’s Delight”
Cute or Creepy?
The Legendary Roots Crew premiered the title track from their new album, How I Got Over, on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. It’s a very dope track if you ask me, cool James Brown vibe and if you caught Tariq’s live rendition of Curtis Mayfield’s ‘Move On Up‘ anywhere last year, his decent singing chops won’t come as too much of a surprise.

The Daily Show’s Jason Jones spent a week in Iran prior to the election fallout. In his last report he interviews Persian MC Hichkas and proceeds to drop some lines himself, over production by Tanya Morgan.

It took DJ Hero to get these two together to perform together again?
Most Americans already knew it, but this makes the recession official. You know there’s a recession when Electrik Red’s promotional strategy for their album, How To Be A Lady Vol. 1, includes streaking, harassing people on the streets while saying ladylike things like “Honk if you’re horny.”

Remember when Kanye crashed American Idol to teach those youngsters how to really SANG?
Neither do I.
Well, here’s AI contestant Kris Allen with perhaps the boldest move in the history of the competition. Last night, Allen blessed America with a solid rendition of “Heartless,” sans the robot voice. This version makes Kanye’s version sound like practice session.
