Kanye West - “Lost In The World”
MF Doom - My Favorite Ladies (Man On Wire Remix)
Finally, someone else decided to remix MF Doom. It barely happens. I know because I check the Hype Machine maniacally for MF Doom remixes. Hip hop heads are gonna love UK’s Man On Wire. So if you fit the description…check out Man On Wire’s Soundcloud page…dude remixes Nas and A Tribe Called Quest among others.
Hodgy Beats, Domo Genesis + Tyler the Creator - “Rella”
Estelle - Do My Thang (F. Janelle Monáe)
Here’s a match made in heaven, made here on earth instead. Soul sister Estelle and android Janelle Monáe team up on “Do My Thang” from Estelle’s third studio album All Of Me, which comes out tomorrow. I’m excited to check it out, since I fell hard for Estelle after her top notch collabo with Kanye, “American Boy”. I don’t expect the album to do well in the U.S., since she’s too soulful and grown (think Mary J. Blige) to make a big splash in the baby pool mainstream…..but hey what else is new. She does just fine in the UK I’m sure.
Gorillaz - DoYaThing (F. André 3000 + James Murphy) [13-Minute Version]
Thanks, Converse. This collabo happened because of a new line of Converse sneakers coming out, the Chuck Taylor Gorillaz Collection, designed by Gorillaz co-creator Jamie Hewlett. So so awesome. I want a pair. Oh yeah and this song=amazing. The original version was just fine, but thankyousomuch for making a 13-minute version of it, where André 3000 goes off on a brilliant tangent for most of it, screaming “I’m the shit” with so much ego it makes Kanye seem bashful. Epic.
ScHoolboy Q - “NigHtmare On Figg St.”
Whitney Houston - I Wanna Dance With Somebody (This Guy I Know Remix)
Another living legend becomes a legend. I want to groan at all the posts flooding Facebook like everyone else, but death is always hard for me to swallow. I’ve had someone close to me commit suicide while struggling with addiction, and it wasn’t a laughing matter. Still isn’t. It’s really easy to make jokes about Whitney and Bobby…but a lot of things are easy to do. Like falling into addiction and never making the comeback everyone was hoping for.
Madonna - Music (Groove Armada 12" Mix)
Here’s a great remix of “Music” to tide you over until that likely-to-be disappointing Super Bowl half time show goes down. Why does badmouthing football seem like greater blasphemy than denouncing Jesus on Super Bowl Sunday? Kind of reminds me of what it was like badmouthing Madonna this week…. Why do people have to love their idols so much, that they’ll deal with completely mediocre—even terrible—music coming from them…I am terrified to hear the new Madonna album in its entirety, after seeing the new video.
I’m a fan of Madonna, but “Give Me All Your Luvin’” is terrible. The song could have almost been acceptable if it wasn’t featuring M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj for hype. And the video is dumb……….Are we seriously pretending we are in high school, Madonna? And why? You’re not getting any younger here………And she’s holding a plastic baby and being a terrible mother to it. I do not understand any of this.
FAIL.
