Video! Chris Brown MTV Interview

Oh yeah, apparently Chris Brown had an interview too. Weird. Doesn't he have an album coming out too? I didn't even watch this one after I saw Chris Brown was wearing a beanie. You're on television answering questions about beating your girlfriend and you're gonna wear a fucking beanie? Didn't he learn from all the criticism about the oversized bowtie on Larry King? I'm half kidding. But seriously.

Videos! Rihanna 20/20 Interview

Here's some clips from the Rihanna interview last night. What did you guys think of the interview? I haven't really formed an opinion yet. Seeing that she has an album dropping later this month, I think it was a publicity move, but it seems like a lot of people got a good message out of it, and I guess that can't hurt.

Video + MP3! Bassment Jaxx ft. Lightspeed Champion - "My Turn"

Cool video for a cool track. How come the coolest music videos are the ones that you'll never see on television? Oh well, one day there will be a P&P Channel. And it's gonna be fucking amazing. By the way, I've got all these crazy ideas (that I'm serious about). If you know people in the industry or whatever and want to make something happen, hit me up! Email me. Twitter. Cell Phone.

Gift Of Gab ft. Del & Brother Ali - "Dreamin"

Don't sleep on this one. Del (Hieroglyphics), Gift Of Gab (Blackalicious), and Brother Ali (the albino on Rhymesayers) on one track? Gift Of Gab has one of those rapid fire flows that always impressed, Brother Ali fills every line with passion and heart, and Del The Funky Homosapien has one of the dopest voices in hip hop. Credit to TCHipHop. Order the Gift Of Gab album here.

J Dilla + Michael Jackson - "Player Has Butterflies"

!!! Oh shit. Happy Saturday!

From J Rocc: Share My Bed=M.J. & Dilla 1st track "Player has Butterflies"...wait 4 the rest

Dil Jackson - Player Has Butterflies | YouSendIt

Beat! Beat! Beat! - "Fireworks"

This song is great! The guitar part is like a swarm of strings zipping around in a tightly knit cluster. NME calls these guys Germany's answer to the Foals. With a Los Campesinos-type chant along section, those wild guitars, a beat that will get your blood flowing and a fat ass bass line, this song is definitely making it to my iTunes. I'm going to be looking out for Beat! Beat! Beat! in the future.

Beat! Beat! Beat! - Fireworks | YouSendIt

Video! Pixies On The Tonight Show

Usually when my favorite artists are on late night shows I know about it. I was totally surprised when the Pixies appeared on Conan O'Brien's Tonight Show. It was a great performance. Even as an older woman, Kim Deal's voice is still sexy! Shit, even as an older band, the Pixies still sound awesome. Thanks to TCB for the heads up. If you missed it, the Pixies recently gave out a free EP. Grab it here.

CL-SiCK - "M.D.M.A"

CL-SiCk is only 18 but he's been doing this shit for a while and it shows. Plus he seems like the type of person you'd want to see come out on top, so check him out.

Heres the second single off the Highly Anticipated Debut from CL-SiCK , "So Far Kid About Nothing". CL teams up with producer Kajmir Royale on this synthy upbeat anthem. Keep in touch with CL on www.twitter.com/clsick and www.myspace.com/njsound.

CL-SiCK - M.D.M.A

Shakira ft. KiD CuDi - "She Did It Again"

She-Wolf will be in stores November 23rd. Saw it at 2DB. It's pretty straight forward Shakira style pop song, but with a little more synths (who isn't using more synths these days?) and a big chorus. Oh yeah, and Cudder's in it. He adlibs a little throughout the song and then gets a verse towards the end.

Trailer! The Carter Documentary

Here's a documentary to the upcoming documentary about Lil Wayne called The Carter. I've heard good things about this documentary. Apparently it goes past all the glamour and gets into Wayne as a person (if that's possible). It also deals heavily with his syrup sipping. Whenever I get my hands on some codeine laced syrup I get all excited and chug it, but it always leads to a night full of really, really bad itching all over my body and the next day is spent dizzy and stumbling. Pretty sure I'm allergic. Pretty sure I'll never learn my lesson. If they don't want people to abuse it, they shouldn't make it so delicious.

Vetiver - "More Of This" (Neighbours Remix)

Cheerful, Vamp Weekend-like guitars, and the feeling of opening your windows on a sunny Saturday afternoon and sipping on something refreshing. Unfortunately when I turn my heat off I shiver like a vibrator. I'll save this one for summer 2010, or until I go on vacation. Thanks to RCRD LBL.

Vetiver - More Of This (Neighbours Remix) | YouSendIt

Video! Grizzly Bear - "Ready, Able"

Sorry for so many videos today, but this one is cool. It's the new video for Grizzly Bears "Ready Able" from Veckatimiwhatever. Trippy claymation is never a bad idea.

Video! Happiest Chair In The World!

In a bad mood? Got 25 seconds to spare? This will definitely make you feel better.

Wale - "Wale Revere"

From Sound Verite:

Wale celebrates his official debut Attention Deficit dropping next week with a throwback goin' in on the Beastie Boys classic "Paul Revere" from his 2005 mixtape Paint A Picture.

Video! U2 ft. Jay-Z - "Sunday Bloody Sunday"

U2 - New Music - More Music Videos

Jay-Z is everywhere. I think this is in Berlin. Thanks to Jon Jon for the heads up.

Video! Jay-Z Performs In NYC at City Hall For Yankee Parade

Here's Jay-Z performing at City Hall for the Yankee Parade. I heard he flew in from Berlin to do this shit. Alicia Keys couldn't be there so that's Bridget Kelly filling in.

Video! R. Kelly Tribute To Michael Jackson

I think the coolest part of this video is seeing MJ dancing to R. Kelly in the back of a car (around 2:25). The last couple minutes are the tirbute song Kelly wrote.

Pixies Release Free Live Doolittle EP!

This is so fucking cool. Thanks to TheCultureBully for the heads up. Free live EP of Doolittle tracks performed by one of my favorite bands of all times, The Pixies. It's in celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the classic Doolittle.

To download, just click the Download link in the picture above and give them an email address. They'll send over the link.

Videos! Felt 3 with Ray Shemersy (Slug, Murs, and Aesop Rock)

Haha I had to post this. Parts 1, 2 and 3 of the Felt interview with Ray Shemersy. Felt 3 is coming out November 17th, with Slug (of Atmosphere) and Murs (of Living Legends) on vocals. This time around Aesop Rock is on duty as the producer. Preorder that shit here. (Do it! I'm doing it!) As I was typing this I realized Ray Shemersy is Rhyme Sayers scrambled. Haha so corny but I'm still very excited for this album. Saw it on 2DB. Felt 3!

Here are the guys taking questions from fans and having way too much fun.

T-Pain - "Crazy"

Going from classic Typical Cats to new T-Pain? Okay. Can I throw a "P&P, bitches!" in there? Thanks to Wing Span. This one sounds like it's unfinished. We'll see if an updated version comes out in the future. T-Pain is like a fucking hit machine, and this one is no different. I think once he plugs in the chorus (and maybe a rapper somewhere in the last minute?) it's gonna make some noise. If you're not into T-Pain, this one's probably not going to change your mind.

T-Pain - Crazy | YouSendIt

Typical Cats - "Qweloquiallisms"

Alright, I made a comment about Qwel earlier, one of my favorite underground emcees from my high school days, and it got a positive response from Derrik. Qwel was one of the emcees in Typical Cats from Chicago. Their first self titled album was one of those albums that shaped my opinions on music from that point on. Jazzy beats, three completely different and unique emcees, and an album that you can listen to from front to back without skipping a fucking track.

It's the kind of album that you listen to once and pick out your favorite tracks. Then you listen again and suddenly something else stands out. My favorite song on that album has probably rotated between 7 or 8 tracks on the album depending on when you asked me. Qwel, who was always the standout emcee to me, has gone on to do some solo albums, and they are good, but I'll warn you - they are pretty out there. Don't even bother if your mind isn't split wide open.

Anyways, maybe I'm underestimating the readers. I like to post all kinds of shit on P&P, but I guess sometimes I lean towards shit that I think will be well received. Fuck it, tonight I'm giving you one of my favorite tracks from a handful of years ago. This is a solo Qwel track off of the Typical Cats album I was talking about. When I first heard it, I didn't like it, but somewhere between my 3rd and 20th listen of the album this song clicked. Qwel is the type of lyricist that can slaughter motherfuckers with the punchlines and freestyles, but if you've followed his career you can gather that he'd much rather go deep with lyrics that are closer to poetry and further from battle raps. But no matter what his style is, his delivery is nuts. Like all great lyricists (see: Eminem, Big L, Eyedea) words slide off his tongue like razor blades.

Enough talk, I could ramble about this shit for hours, but I guess it comes down to your opinion. I just ask that you give it a few tries. Here is "Qweloquiallisms". Let me know what you think.

Typical Cats - Qweloquiallisms | YouSendIt

Monsters Of Folk - "Dear God" Live With The Roots

Monsters Of Folk perform one of my favorite songs off their album with the motherfuckin' Roots! Okay! Here is "Dear God (Sincerely MOF)" on Jimmy Fallon's show. Having ?uestlove sitting behind you automatically makes you a little cooler.

Hawksley Workman - "Maniacs"

I'm a little late on this one. Like 10 years late. But it's not my fault. Hawksley Workman's debut album For Him and the Girls, which was recorded in 1999, is being released for the first time in the US on November 17th. If I didn't tell you that, you would have never guessed by listening to the song. It's so eccentric that you could light it on fire and the smoke would probably be crayola green swirls. The reason I opened the email in the first place was because the title was "Insanity + Drum Kit + Yodeling = Irresistable Maniacs". Yodeling? Yeah. Yodeling.

Hawksley Workman - Maniacs | YouSendIt

Emilio Rojas - "Piano Bounce"

Here's a new one from Emilio Rojas. He's got a mixtape coming up with Green Lantern called The Natural. Emilio is a real spitter. His voice kind of reminds me of Qwel (anyone?). Thanks to Shake.

Emilio Rojas - Piano Bounce | YouSendIt

Darwin Deez - "Radar Detector" and "Bad Day"

Darwin Deez is an NYC artist that's been getting a lot of buzz lately with his quirky brand of indie pop. I'm not encouraging you to judge people based on their looks, but if you tried to guess what Darwin Deez sounded like by looking at the above picture, you'd probably be pretty close. The vocals sound a little like Ben Kweller, the music includes guitars, electronic drums, and handclaps and the sound is both simple and highly entertaining. Check it out.

First of all, these lists are all opinions, so you can't really say a list is "good" or "bad". You can only say stuff like "I disagree with this list" or "Whoever made this list has different tastes than I have". That being said, this list sucks. *Lil Wayne giggle*. Saw it at Stereogum.

Rihanna Breaks Silence On Chris Brown Incident!

Basically, what I got out of this is, she still loves & wants to be w/ Chris, which is why she went back to him a few weeks after the incident. But she didn't want to give the wrong message to her young female fans, which is why she left his a$$ again. So if she wouldn't of been a mega star, they would've still been one!

It's good that she is a mega star tho; that possibly prevented her from another beating. Not saying Chris would've beat her again, but if it was only them two who knew about it, who knows?!? Her taking him back is like a green light to him saying that he could do it again. But yea, this was certainly very brave of her.

Video! Ghostface & Raheem Devaughn Live On Jimmy Kimmel

Nice performance of "Baby". Ghostface + harp is a nice combination.

Boom Boom Satellites Ft. Tahj Mowry & Flo-Rida - "Kick It Out"

Ok! Boom Boom Satellites is a rather dope electronic/rock band duo from Tokyo Japan. Got it? Good!
Now, in the above picture you notice Flo-Rida..right? Yea; cool. Do you recognize the dude on the left side? I'll let you think about it..
.....
....
...
..
.
Ding! It's the Smart Guy himself, Tahj Mowry! Well he's a Rock & Roll/Hip-Hop artist now! I'm guessing this is his first track & by the looks of it, it's going to be pretty big! I personally don't care for it too much, but I guess since I grew up watching him & his sisters, I kind of like it. Mp3 below!

Boom Boom Satellites Ft. Tahj Mowry & Flo-Rida "Kick It Out" | YouSendIt

If you can't tell, it really blows my mind to see him making music now!

Video! Gucci Mane Ft. Usher - "Spotlight"

More Gucci!!!!!!!! Yay!!

Here's the visual for "Spotlight", which features Usher. & who is the light skinned lady w/ the nice eyes?

Amanda Blank - "Might Like You Better" (Vaski Remix)

Dubstep remixes for the win. Shit gets wild at the :55 mark. Thanks to LFTF.

New! Jamie Foxx ft. Gucci Mane - "Speak French"

Jamie Foxx and Gucci Mane wouldn't be my 1st and 2nd, 3rd and 4th, etc. choices to hear on a track, but the production by Bangladesh definitely makes this one worth checking out. Bangladesh has the brilliantly simple beats down to a science. I'll dish out the dirty dirty when I see it. Thanks to LowKey.

Burrr!

Jamie Foxx ft Gucci Mane - Speak French | YouSendIt

Cunninlynguists ft. Sean Price & Poison Pen - "Streets"

Here's a Cunninlynguists track from their new album Strange Journey Volume Two. Buy it here or here. Kno's production is always on point, but I'm liking this one especially. Also, since I posted that Flo Rida, I figured I should put something up from the other end of the hip-hop spectrum. Check it out. Thanks to Shake.

Cunninlynguists ft. Sean Price & Poison Pen - Streets | YouSendIt

Flo Rida - "Keep It Pouring"

It's not really my style, but I know a lot of people like Flo Rida (my mom being one). You know what to expect. Production by Drumma Boy.

Who Is Alex King?

This last post of the Lil Wayne, Shanell, and Alex King track got a lot of people talking about Alex King. After getting a little more information on the man, it became clear that this is not just another dude who got lucky and somehow nabbed a Wayne verse. Alex King is an Italian Dominican rapper, producer, and video director from Nashville, TN with a crazy life story and animal-like mic control. Above is a video he recently directed. According to some inside info, right now there's a bidding war going on between Cash Money and Interscope for a deal. Keep a look out for Alex King.

New! Spoon - "Mystery Zone"

If you're a Spoon fan, you are gonna smile the second you hit play.

This song is the complete Spoon experience. It's catchy enough without being obnoxious, and it's got that crisp sound quality that Spoon is known for. New elements keep popping up throughout the song to keep things interesting in the simple structured tune. I'm loving this song so far, and it has me even more excited for Transference, out next month. Thanks to Will for the heads up.

Spoon - Mystery Zone (Taken Down By Request)

Video! Cartman Covers Poker Face

Seems like anything "Poker Face" related goes viral, so here's Cartman's shot at it.

R. Kelly - "Echo"

Is R. Kelly yodeling? Yeah, I think so, and he sounds pretty well practiced in the art. This just hit radio, and is on Untitled, out December 1st. Warning: This song is about having sex. If you aren't ready to hear R.Kelly singing about having sex, you might want to pass on this. Thanks to HHNM.

Video! N.E.R.D Performs New Song On 90210

Apparently N.E.R.D performed a new song on 90210. The song title could be "Radio" or "WTF". My question is: Are there a lot of N.E.R.D fans watching 90210? I don't know, maybe. Anyways, song sounds pretty cool to me. I might enjoy it more without those shots of the crowd shooting each other suggestive glances and nodding their vacant heads. What do you think (About the song. I don't really care how you feel about 90210)? Thanks to Shake.

Video! The Antlers - "Kettering"

Here's a fan made video for The Antler's "Kettering", one of the most moving songs of the year. The video is a series of both awesome and appropriate photographs. If you've got a minute turn the lights off and check it out. As Muzzle Of Bees said perfectly:

This song, as you’ll find with the rest of The Antlers catalog, is staggering and introspective. You can feel the lump forming in your throat.

Video! D-Black Ft. Skyzoo - "The Come Up"

Nothing but the truth! As an up and comer in the rap game, it is very similar to the crack game! It's competitive & you have to hustle hard. D-Black teamed up w/ Skyzoo & Illmind on this one & they couldn't of broke it down for ya'll any better!

This joint will be on D-Black & Illmind's upcoming collaborative project, which is untitled at the moment, but you can also find it on Illmind's latest project titled *Blaps, Rhymes & Life*.

Video! Tegan and Sara on Conan O'Brien

Been hearing a lot about this performance, so I had to check it out. Although I've known about them for a while, I've never really been up on the identical twins (To be honest, for some reason I thought they were lesbians. Obviously I wasn't paying very good attention.) They are getting a lot of love lately. Here they are performing "Hell" off their new album Sainthood. Thanks to JP. What do you guys think? Should I be keeping track of Tegan and Sara?

Note: So, they are lesbians. Maybe I was paying attention. But I thought they were lesbians in a relationship with eachother, and hopefully that's not true since they are identical twins. But hey, it's 2k9, anything goes.

Video! Young Dro ft. Yung L.A. - "I Don't Know Y'all"

Cool looking video! I really like whatever they used to get that grainy, high contrast look. Gets crazy at 1:45. “I Don’t Know Y’all” is the first single off Dro’s upcoming album P.O.L.O. (Players Only Live Once), out December 22nd.

Oh, you wanted an mp3?

New! The White Panda - "What Lonely Girls Do" (Lil Jon & Eminem vs. Ocean Lab)

Hell yeah. New White Panda. Here's their latest mash up, a bubbly concoction including Lil Jon, Eminem, and Ocean Lab. Lil Jon vs. Ocean Lab sounds wild, and then Eminem just puts it over the top. If you aren't up on The White Panda, then you either hate mash ups or you need to start paying attention!

P&P Exclusive! Remember where you saw this one first.

:-D. I'm personally not mad!
She looks/sounds a little more thugged-out & rapper-ish to me.

Video! The Weezer Snuggie Infomercial

Honestly, I think this makes me like Weezer a little less. Also, it makes me want to go strangle a house cat. Just kidding. No I'm not. Yes I am. *Shakes head, jumps out window, kicks in neighbors door, grabs cat by neck* Sorry, took that one too far. This post just got out of control. Buy some Weezer stuff below if you want.

Here's the expert whistler/violin player Birdman performing "Anonanimal" on Jimmy Fallon's show.

Video! Rosa Acosta's New Stretching Video

Saw it at YHTN. This balances on a very thin line between a fitness video and porn. Actually, no, it doesn't. Pretty sure you could call this porn.

Soooooooo…I promised you guys that when I got past 20,000 friends on Twitter…I would have another STRETCHING VIDEO for you guys. Well…now I’m up for 26,000+, and I wanted to make sure I showed everyone how much I appreciate it! So….me! Rosa! New Video…just for you!!!

If you missed the first Rosa Acosta stretching video, here. Rosa is a Dominican model and dancer. Last time I heard, she was with Soulja Boy, but I don't know if that's still true or ever was true. Anyways, uh, nice stretching right? I'm no longer too proud of being able to touch my toes.

Video! Lil Wayne Talking About No Ceilings

Here's a video of Lil Wayne talking about the No Ceilings mixtape before it came out. Gotta say I'm really feeling this mixtape. It's a departure from the sing-alongs, heavy guest spots, and autotune that has made a lot of people hate Wayne (even more) and a return to "The Mixtape Weezy" that we've been missing. Here's a couple of my favorites from No Ceilings that I haven't already posted. Grab the entire mixtape here.

Huey ft. Lil Wayne - "Another Planet" (No DJ)

Here's the untagged version of "Another Planet", originally a mixtape track. This is one of those ignorant "I have money, I get drunk, I'm from outerspace" jams, but it's got a really feel good vibe, and if you listen to it once you can sing along by the end.

Them Crooked Vultures - "Mind Eraser, No Chaser"

Them Crooked Vultures is like Monsters Of Folk with louder guitars and more testosterone. Thanks to Will for the heads up.

The xx - "You've Got The Love" (Florence and the Machine Cover)

Tough crowd today. Too hungover to comment? I understand. Try hanging your head upside down over the side of your bed/couch/roof for a couple minutes. It usually makes me feel better, because nothing is worse than being upside down when you're hungover. Then you sit up and suddenly everything isn't so bad.

I'm a little late on this one, but I just listened and really liked it. It's breakout act The xx covering Florence and the Machine's "You've Got The Love". The beat in this song is crisp as fuck. A rapper should get on this. By the way, if you haven't checked out The xx's album yet, you should get on that. Got it at TMH.

Video! Where The Dirty Hipsters Are

Just saw this Where The Wild Things Are spoof over at Hipster Runoff. Hipsters love to make fun of themselves.

New! Yeasayer - "Ambling Alp"

Here's the first single off of Yeasayer's second album Odd Blood, out February 9th. Weird falsettos, 80's style drums, a catchy ass chorus, some horns, and a bunch of unidentifiable sounds = an awesome new pop gem from Yeasayer.

Sidenote: At times this guy's voice sounds like that Gin Blossoms dude. Remember them?

Wing Span - "Welcome"

From Charlie Hilton:

A few of you know, a few of you don’t – I am executive producing his ‘Growing Wings’ project (scheduled for release in early 2010) and I’m also heavily involved in his EP (‘Down To Earth’) coming out soon.

This is the first song to surface from ‘Down To Earth’ and gives you an impression of Span’s ability as an artist: powerful presence for a youngster, a well-constructed flow and a captivating autobiographical insight. The beat is by Thelonious and it’s HARD.

The Black Keys ft. Raekwon - "Stay Off The Fuckin Flowers"

If you haven't heard of the Dame Dash Blackroc project, it's 11 hip hop artists going at it with the bluesy backing of The Black Keys. It's a sick concept with a great line up, so it's hard to imagine this project being anything but awesome. Thanks to Sound Verite.

Jay-Z as your hype man? That's gotta be a good feeling. Here's Drizzy in his hometown of Toronto.

Lil Wayne - No Ceilings (Updated, 4 New Tracks)

Here is Lil Wayne's No Ceilings in full, high quality sound. The mixtape leaked a little while ago, then Wayne announced that it was unfinished and would be released in full on Halloween in better sound quality and with more tracks. I'm still pretty sure that he just didn't like that it leaked early so he went in and recorded more songs. Either way, it's a great mixtape, so it might be worth it to delete your old copy and grab this one. Thanks to Nah Right.

Note: This mixtape doesn't have an official tracklist yet, so the songs may be out of order. When it's updated I'll switch out the links. Should be today.

Wale ft. Rihanna - "Contemplate"

I hope everyone had a good Halloween. New York City on Halloween night is pretty crazy. And what the hell happened to the time? Did we gain an hour or am I going crazy? Here's the last song I'm gonna post from Wale's Attention Deficit. Buy that shit November 10th.
