Lunatic Presents Unsigned Blessings [Mixtape]

Download Here:

Lunatic Presents Unsigned Blessings [Mixtape] .. it doesn't look like Clarity made the cover.

Here is the song with The Vibes on it...

Hit The Road - Clarity ft. Velvet Trench Vibes w/ City on the chorus!!!

Check Clarity on myspace here

Whats kinda funny is I don't think 3 out of 5 members of The Vibes are even remotely aware of this mixtape or song. Shouts to all the new members! We taking the new crew on the road too!

I personally can't stop listening to this song...

Pretty Girls - Wale ft. Gucci Mane

"Ugly girls be quiet. Pretty girls clap!" ha

Let Me Keep You Up To Speed

...if you don't know about this song yet, well, your sleeping.(not to sound pretentious or anything)

Forever - Drake ft Kanye, F Baby and Eminem (the real eminem...not the middle eastern fool)

Who takes it???? Who the fuck cares? just enjoy.... too much deabating... not enough listening

Off That - Jay Z ft. Drake

Timbaland gave Jay-Z a bunch of club beats to rap over? Rather Jay-Z chose a bunch of club beats to rap over?

Killer - Drake ft. Nipsey Hussle

wooow Nipsey is a little to ahead of everyone on this.. He's finally got the inevitable song with Snoop too. I like the intro organ or electric piano on the intro.

Money To Blow - Drake ft Wayne and Baby

It's not really my type of song...and i'm not a fan of when he does that syncopated melody thing. but thats just me..

And as I am writing this post... NahRight just posted the Mary J Blige single featuring Drake. [Hit the jump if you wanna see that]

damn.

edit: annnd then he drops this... lol this guy must be spending 3 days a week shooting videos..

blowyourmind.

The One - Mary J Blige ft. Drake

Guess who the crazy fucking dictator is?

1. Don't sleep on that new Arctic Monkeys album.

Potion Approaching

2. Said The Gramophone put me up on this jam.

James had always been strange. It took someone strange to do it. We were dancing at the Neon, like we always do. James was there, as he always is, standing in the shadows by the bar. He was drinking from a bottle. In all that bass we shook, we shaked. James went to the middle of the club, the place it was shiniest. He kneeled on the hard glitering enamel of the floor. He took his fist. He rapped on the dancefloor, like it was an egg. Like it was an egg, the dancefloor cracked. It cracked right open, the deep violet floor, jagged and yawning. Gold light pushed out like the death of a star.

jj - ecstasy

..this is waaay better than all the rock bands that tried to remix this.

Jigga Man - Run This Town

I drove for 14 hours yesterday. I listened to Reasonable Doubt 4 times in a row "Cause I walk like a Pimp and talk like a mack" ha. My other cds consisted of a Best of Leonard Cohen, Arcade Fire - Funeral, Essential Otis Redding and the new Vibes EP. It was aiiiight listening material ... but i really missed some Outkast mixtape Freddie had passed me for the ride up.... that shit was fuego while I was driving thru the night.

aaannnyways... this dropped while I was gone.. and i guess skinny was sleeping at the switch and forgot to post it..

Oldies...But Goodies

Kickin it OLD SCHOOL

A friend of mine put me on this site. They host a virtual ORIGINAL NINTENDO games via flash ( thats right kid the old school two button goodness. They've got a wide selection of games too, all the popular ones and some undergroud titles that true headz will notice ( Legend of Kage). Check it out over HERE


Im over here now...

Justiciés Masqués - Schtroumphs

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

Mama Say - oldie but goody

No he's not the guy from the beastie boys!

Saukrates is actually still alive.

This guy is easily the most talented dude to come out of the Canadian hip-hop scene since....well, the begginning. Production wise, the cat is the motherfucking future of the funk, he can rap his ass off, aaaaand he can actually sing...no Freddie.

Unfortunately I'm on some 28.8 dial-up, so I have no idea if this shit is any good. If it is, heres the song by itself.

Red!... the return of the G-Funk.

So I just heard about this guy somewhere(I don't give up sources) and maybe I'm late or whatever the kids call it but this is some bugged out galactic type shit.

So all I know is someone recorded this homeless dude doing this extremely west coast beatboxing outside some art studio and now he's signed to some underground label(Stones throw for those who know)....

His names Red....cause shiiiiiiit, he looks red.





If you want your mind blown, you know how to make that shit happen.

blowyourmind.

Blitz part two.

One of these guys I think is hella dope...and one I think is crazy bland.


Guess which one is which....

Blitz The Ambassador

So Combat jack put me up on this new rapper called Blitz The Ambassador. He hails from Brooklyn, and rocks the stage with a live band and full horn section (that dance!). This guy gets way too many comparisons to Black Thought... but he does kinda look like him.. lol He actually has performed with The Roots at the highline Ballroom in NYC as part of their weekly jam sessions. Annnyways.. this guy is goooood, and comes with a slick live show. actually .. after some youtube research .. he didnt rock with the full band on tour. just a DJ. Touring with a band is a bitch! Musicians are hungry folks!

Here is his first official video for the song called Breathe


Here is what Combat Jack had to say..

Hit the jump to check out more videos of dude performing.

Whoo Kid Interview with Brooke Hogan

Whoo Kid addresses his shot at Jigga in this video interview with Brooke Hogan ( I didn't think she was around anymore) Brooke attempts to certify her "gangsta" but throwing shots at Cassie's pum pum & Hiedi Montag.

This gets me to thinking, Whoo Kid talks alot shit about people ( much like associated with G-unit) however, nobody really ever gets at him for his greasy talk ( atleast to my knowledge that is). I wonder if he'll find himself getting Joe Buddened one day? Thats right ya'll, i coined that term. Spotted over at Worldstar Hip Hop

What Uuuup, Whats Happenin

- Ever have that awkward moment on the bus or metro where u run into someone but dont really have much to say to them beyond " whats up..whats happenin/ where or what are you up to?". Once u get past that theres that weird moment of silence where the two of you are thinking " shiiiiit do i put my ear phones back in first or do i wait for them to do it". Im just mentioning this now cause it happened to me on my way to work this morning and i figured im not the only one to experience it.


-Have you ever caught a female with fine ass walking in front you and notice that her ass swinging left and right is on beat to the music you're listening to. Its pretty amusing and entertaining.


Im over Here now..

R.I.P. Les Paul

Damn.

That sucks..

This guy was waaaay more influential than Micheal Jackson [No Shots]. This man pioneered multitrack recording. Oh and he invented an instrument called the electric guitar.... He was jamming on an electric guitar in 1929! Gibson only started production on the Les Paul in 1952. In his spare time he won Grammies alone and for numerous collaborations with his wife, Mary Ford. He has been inducted in the National Inventors Hall of Fame and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Respect.

I firsted spotted this at yahoo. Here is what RollingStone reports.

My Morning Jacket

Before I lost my ipod (moment of silence...) I would listen to these two songs at least 5 times a day. The intro riff on Off The Record makes me ... feel so good inside. Librarian just haunts me.. there are a million youtube videos of Jimi James doing the song solo... and his voice is just as cool live.. maybe even better.

My Morning Jacket - Off The Record


My Morning Jacket - Librarian

Skinny's Most Ridiculous Band Names

Figured i would add a few that Spin and Toge forgot to mention OR didn't find that ridiculous...

1. The Ting Tings:

2. OK GO!...Shoot yourselves in the foot

3. Chromeo: Sounds like a cheesy super villian name to me

4.Duran, Duran BOOO

5.Emerson, Lake & Palmer: Law Firm?

6.Yeah Yeah Yeahs: Fuck outta here

7.Eric Lapointe: Not a band i just really hate that guy

8.Hootie & the Blowfish: Gee i wonder why this band didn't last long?

Oldies...But Goodies

Should be good week for Hip-Hop shows in Montreal next week with Busta Rhymes and De La Soul stepping through our beloved city on the 20th ( thursdee) and the 22nd (Saturdee). I will definately be attending both shows so if any of our readers would like to come grab a drink wit Skinny come on down ( preferably women).

P.S Word on the street is that Philly Freezer Freeway will also be in town the same night as Busa Buss@ club soda. So if theres anyone out there that would like see Freeways beard live, Soda is the place to go



Anyone recognize the cameo at the beginning of this video?

Toge's most ridiculous band names

Here's my take on it...

1.Men Without Hats: Or now known as men without jobs.
2.Nickelback: Man, they just suck.
3.The Homosexuals: these guys are setting off my gaydar all the way from the UK.
4.Jack Off Jill: clever... me likes.
5.Think About Life: think about changing your band's name dudes.
6.The Devil Wears Prada: Repent for your sins motherfuckers.
7.Of Montreal: If your from Athens,GA then dont call yourself Of Montreal. I could understand why they would want people to think their from Montreal though.
8.The The: Did i stutter?
9.Panic! at the disco: Donna Summers makes me panic too.
10.!!!: Can't even begin to think of a way to pronounce that let alone even try to find them on the internet.

Honorable mentions:

Puddle of Mudd
Goo Goo Dolls
Gwar
Enuff Z'nuff
Chumbawumba
Matchbox 20
The Alan Parsons Project
Bowling For Soup
I Am The World Trade Center

If you can think of others... put them up in the comment section :P

Spin's most ridiculous band names

So Spin magazine released a their top 10 suggestion of the most ridiculous band names out there,,, here were there picks...

1. Rainbow Butt Monkeys: This Canadian band used to put out mildly entertaining quirky hard rock. Then they changed their name to the mundane Finger 11 and became really, really boring.
2. Butthole Surfers: Given their penchant for sonic vulgarity, it wouldn't have been right if Gibby Haynes had christened his psychedelic noise jesters with a more polite handle.
3. The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza: C-list celebrity, a rhyme, tapdancing--this Tennesee metal band came up with a name that has it all.
4. Phil and the Osophers: Your kindly pun-loving English teacher would love this band.
5. Flying Burrito Brothers: The groundbreaking '60s country-rock act are easily the most artistically successful band on this list. Why they came up with a name that sounds like a faux-Mexican highwire act is anyone's guess.
6. Infectious Grooves: There's a cream you can get for that.
7. Hindu Love Gods: Maybe the name itself isn't that funny, but when you picture the band (which included the members of R.E.M. that aren't Michael Stipe, plus the late Warren Zevon), the joke becomes clear.
8. Six Organs Of Admittance: Ben Chasny is an amazing acoustic guitar player--but the name of his droney psychedelic folk project sounds like it belongs to a porn film about randy hospital docs.
9. Test Icicles: It's one of the golden rules of comedy: Genitals are funny.
10. The Cherry Poppin' Daddies: Don't let your daughters go near this swing revival act.

Thom Yorke says Fuck An Album

That's what I've beeeeen saying. And now fiiiinally Thom catches up with me :)

Thom Yorke has announced that Radiohead will be dropping the "Long Playing" format in favor of Singles and EPs!

"None of us want to go into that creative hoo-ha of a long-play record again," he said. "Not straight off ... It worked with In Rainbows because we had a real fixed idea about where we were going. But we've all said that we can't possibly dive into that again. It'll kill us."

The problem isn't the format - "obviously, there's still something great about the album," Yorke said - but with the scale and consistency of vision that is required. "In Rainbows was a particular aesthetic and I can't bear the idea of doing that again. Not that it's not good, I just can't ... bear ... that."

Its a new day people... no one has the attention span to listen to an entire full length anymore. A mixtape with 27 tracks????? uhhh I can't make it through more than 5 songs without getting bored. The random button stays clicked down on peoples music libraries anyways... and even itunes has the "genius" tool that randomizes your tracks in a not-so-random fashion... The LP is for the past generation. The only time I can think of when I listen to an entire album front to back is on a road trip. And now in new cars they got the ipod plug thingy... so even that precious driving time is being taken away and the driver keeps one hand on the steering wheel and one hand on the ipod to switch up artists after the song is done. We now exist in a music biz where its not your last album that counts... but your last song. So if you release a shitty song... have no fear... the next day you can drop another one thats better (hopefully). If you don't suceed.... try, try and try again!! (But don't end up like Charles Hamilton... he's a little too over zealous with it)

Spotted at blogs.chron.com ... I immediately got the urge to smoke when I saw that URL

Edit: This Radiohead song has just surfaced. There are rumors its going to appear on a new EP they are working on.

Nickelback Sucks

...And here's proof that people think they suck WorldWide

Them Crooked Vultures

So we got another "supergroup" on our hands... but they're not going to be like all those other "supergroups". allegedly. anyyyyways i actually think this could be some good music. Stereogum reports with an in-depth review...

Before the show the Metro sidewalk was a mob scene, or at least a mob scene for midnight on a Sunday on the heels of a three-day festival with the sort of weather conditions that should have sucked dry these people's wills to live, or wills to see music live. People on the sidewalk joked they wouldn't give up their tickets for anything less than $2,000, although I suspect that wasn't much of a joke at all. Once inside, those same people probably would have paid that amount to get an air conditioner, but no matter: the Metro was a sweatbox, the transferred perspiration just one more thing bonding all those in the room holding essentially a priceless ticket. And out walked Them Crooked Vultures shortly after midnight.

The band: Josh Homme on guitar and lead vocals, Dave Grohl on drums, John Paul Jones on you know what. Plus, for last night's show at least, there was a fourth Crooked Vulture: longtime Homme affiliate Alain Johannes held down rhythm guitar and joined Grohl and Jones on the occasional backing vocal and hollerback harmony. A supergroup of three big names with a lower-profile fourth?Familiar. Last night I called them Monsters Of Rock.

The music was full of big riffs and QOTSA stomp and grit, occasionally proggy segues melding dirty blues rock to a more alt, grungy thump. Grohl may have slipped into his Bonham worship mode on the big beats and bigger fills, or maybe that's just what you hear when half a band's rhythm section happened to be in Led Zeppelin. Josh, for his part, is not Jimmy Page. Nor is he Robert Plant. He's Homme through and through, and in taking vocals and guitars he more than defines the dynamic. So ultimately it was a Homme-led affair that was QOTSAy in its essence with overtures to the other dudes' primary affiliations at the periphery. There were outliers, naturally: "Daffodils" was a spacey, psychedelic epic closing with a John Paul Jones piano outro (and subsequent show-stopping applause), another featured a long jazzy improv with JPJ taking the bass for a walk under a fiery two-guitar solo session that hit sorta like a steroidal Allmans jam.

Only very shitty camera-phone footage of the concert exists [so far..] because "In the spirit of an old-school communal listening experience, cameras and the like were forbidden." says amrit

Velvet Trench Vibes - Don't Come Down

So this is the first song were releasing off our upcoming Fuzz EP. The video was filmed by Andy Scearce at a sushi bar called Maguro-bito in Tokyo.

In B flat

Don't go to this website unless you got time to lose. Its pretty magical stuff tho.

www.inbflat.net

The site is a collection of youtube videos that people recorded playing different instruments in the key of Bb. You can play them one at a time or all at the same time. Mix them up and you can create your own songs.. This kinda reminds of that song that Skin Deep posted a while back... but in a more chaotic fashion.

I jacked some of the videos from the site so you could test it out here. Click the blowyourmind. to .. well.. blowyourmind.

Liza Rios, Let Me Walk You Through Them Numbers Girlfriend

I really don't care much for this whole Pun's wife is broke situation.. but one of the comments on the Daily Mathematics site made me happy. Its funny because I was debating with Freddie just the other day (before the settlement) on how welthy Nas is/was (ha). Freddie argues that Nas doesnt have the kinds of money that everyone thinks he has... while I was on the other side saying that he has been around for too long to have not been able to accumulate a certain amount of dinero in his bank account. However I do think that Enlghtened (the commenter) is wrong about Fat Joe. From my understanding... Joe has money.. and plenty of it.. maybe it aint all from the music biz tho..

If your interested... Combat Jack break it down for all you retards. Apparently M. Peter Rosenberg wasn't feeling CJ's post and fired some shots over Twitter. I would know all about that if Twitter wasn't so lame..lame..lameee (you'll catch the reference in a couple months... just trust in me for now)

Thanks for dropping this. I try to explain to people all the time how these dudes are not wealthy.

Also, at the guy above you responded to saying, “Joe could have still looked out”.

This little write up should let people put two and two together about how much money these other rappers make. Do people think Joe’s actually rich? Not rich enough to support another family at the same time as his own.

Now look at the Rick Ross’ of the world. The Jeezy’s of the world. And every other artist who’s not putting up T.I. units at this time. Yeah, they’re doing better than us, but Andre 3000 said it best on Elevators…

“true I got more fans than the average man but not enough loot to last me/
to the end of the week I live by the beat like you live check to check/
if it don’t move your feet then I don’t eat so we like neck to neck”

Oldies...But Goodies

Im Baaack.

So this past weekend myself and my right hand man Challenger ( shouts to Matt) went on a trip to de ol Tdot O to experience and take part in this years Caribana festivities.Its been about 10 years since ol skinny has been to Caribana and lemme tell you shit was bananas. Even though its a crappy fucking city ( in my opinion) the Dot really goes full retard when it comes to this caribean fest.

MCA update

hey all,

hope you are doing well.

so i'm about a week and a half out of surgery now and rapidly recovering from it. i haven't taken any of the pain meds, which supposedly speeds along the healing process, or should i say, taking them slows it down. anyway, i spent 1 night at the hospital after the surgery. the hospital was too crazy to get any rest so i headed home to relax, have home cooked food and hang out with the family.

i'm pretty well detoxed from the anesthesia that they pumped me up with to keep me under for all that time. that took several days to get out of my system. my neck and jaw are still pretty stiff from the surgery, but it gets better everyday. had the stitches out this past monday... so things are moving along.

but no sooner am i on the mend from this first torture than are they lining up the next one. the next line of treatment will be radiation. that involves blasting you with some kind of beam for a few minutes a day, 5 days a week, for about 7 weeks. that will start in a few weeks...

saw the jay-z cover of no sleep, and the coldplay one of fight for your right from APW on youtube. good shit. and i heard karen o wore a "get well MCA" armband, and that q-tip gave a shout out too..... very kind of them.

just wanted to thank them and everyone else who sent positive thoughts my way. i do think that all of the well wishes have contributed to the fact that my treatment and recovery are going well.

much love back at all of you!

Oh My God

I'm bout to put y'all on to some shit. I randomly downloaded this chicks album after seeing it on a list by a magazine I don't particularly like...(Spin). Found out she was born in the best year ever...84(Purple Rain motherfucker) and more importantly, she happens to live in the birthplace of the best artist ever... Stockholm and me(obviously).

Then I read about how she severely injures herself during shows, no Drake. Drinks too much, no Bukowski. And tries to beats up dudes in bands she doesn't like, no Krs-One.

Needless to say, I'm in.

The Art of Producing

So Montreal held its first ever(??) producer battle ..[a while ago]. and what do you know.. a Toronto, Ontaroianer producer won it. It's all good tho, and for a couple of reasons. C4 was the winner. C4 is from Real City. C4 is a dope producer. And he has now created a logo that could make him a superhero in Montreal.

Check the beat that C4 insisted we make a song on.


Check the song we made.

Nick Cannon Needs to Kick Eminem's Ass

Combat Jack weighs in on the ordeal. Funny Shit.

"For real, if I was Nick Cannon, I’d be laying for dude at one of them awards shows like the upcoming MTV Music awards and right when paparazzi is snapping them flicks of Em walking on the red carpet, I’d jump out and give him a well timed and lethal bare handed chop to his clavicle area, “KEEYAH” styles and all that. Based on how much drugs Em took, his bones might be frail enough for them shits to snap, or at least crack. And be hella painful too. I’d make sure, as Nick, that them camera men had enough shots of me standing over Em crumpled up, writhing in pain too."

Osheaga

So i decided last minute that i would attend my first Osheaga show... no one to go with so i strolled around dolo for the day... one of the few times i wished i had a camera..

First off, i was really happy to see the amount of montreal bands the festival puts on. it really allows us to shine amongst all the international headliners.. that being said, i watched sets from Parlovr and The Stills.

In all i saw:

• Jesca Hoop
• Donovan Frankenreiter (Marvin Gaye roasting weenies with the Beach Boys.. hahaha)
• Parlovr
• Caracol (end of her set when she was having all the technical difficulties)
• Eagles of Death Metal
• The Stills (I rode the metro here to come rock!!)
• The Roots
• Coldplay

Here is some video footage i found of yesterday

There is no question that the Roots were the best band of the day. Super versatile, lots of energy and the only show of the day that made me really want to dance!
