The Lotus Lab Show 63 – Mad Notes

LISTEN

Sometimes words just get in the way. Ironically enough, this podcast is dedicated to all the emcees and beat junkies that can’t pass up a good tune. Hopefully some of these tracks you will find perfect to write to. Enjoy!

Talib Kweli – The Movie

Even though some of his tweets may irritate me, I must say he really does connect with the people.  He is much respected in the industry and I respect him for keeping true to himself.  Here’s a promo for I movie that I didn’t know was coming out and I don’t know if it ever did come out but check the promo out.

IllumiNESSence: “Eye 2025 Chapter 1″

IllumiNESSence, one half of revoltionary rap group, A-Alikes, recently released a mixtape of new sounds not usually associated with this MC.  Real talk comes in many forms and this time it’s dressed up in synth melodies, sharp highs and hard hitting lows. Even though the sound is different the message is the same – shit is fucked.  Change is inevitable and illumiNESSence is embracing the new direction that hip hop is finally going by merging genres while still kepping it gully. Enjoy!

CHICS WHO ROCK: Joya Bravo on the move…

A little while back I did a mini spotlight on Joya Bravo, you might remember her from the McDonald’s commercial where she was riding around in a dollar van, thanks to Dollar Van Demos. Here’s a piece she did in conjunction with Diesel. Enjoy!

Chiddy Bang “Dream Chasin’”

You should already know how I feel about Chiddy Bang, and if you know what’s good for you, you’d feel the same.

This video is so dope!!!

I got put onto this and it was so amazing I had to share. I wish there was a campaign in NYC where graf artists had permission to do murals on all the rooftops around the city so that as we pass by on the trains we have a moving gallery. Wouldn’t that be dope?

HEAD CRACK: Big Sean “High Rise”

Yo! I ♥ ♥ ♥ this song. The beat is so old school and the flow is so West Siiiiiide! Feel me?

Now that the Lebron convo has died down into obscurity….

Here’s a funny video!!!!!

Cee Lo’s new affair with simplicity

You couldn’t get a simpler, cleaner video that was more to the point than this one.  Cee Lo recently released the video for What Part of Forever where he was walking through hills and fields in a “wifebeater”, which was a sight that I honestly didn’t need to see.  Now this.  I guess the end of the grandiose motion picture videos is here? Maybe?
