KRS Interview from Bomb-It Part One
This is a really cool partial interview with Hip Hop legend KRS-One. He talks about hearing Kool Herc (essentially the DJ who started the Hip Hop movement) back in ‘73.

Review: Common- “Announcement” (feat. Pharrell)
I was surprised to discover a new release by Common in just under a year after his Finding Forever release; better yet a re-teaming between Com and Pharrell. Oohwee!
Now I’ll give a head nod to “Announcement” as it’s grown on me after giving it a few more listens and seeing the video. Don’t get me wrong, it ain’t bad, and I dig the Com/Pharrell reunion. But musically leaves off where Jay-Z’s “Blue Magic” left off. And lyrically, nothing really really stood out to me. But… =C 2 “Universal Mind Control (UMC)” with it’s electro-funk vibe caught me right away. This jam hit me in the right spot from the start. It’s a good party rocking jam by Com, which is what I think he was missing on his last effort. Plus Com’s delivery is buttery smooth on top of the track. Like Com says, “Get it. Get-get it!”

This is the best version of “Universal Mind Control” I found.
Lil Wayne and Michael Phelps on SNL together
This is interesting. Hip Hop’s Lil Wayne and Olympic Gold Medalist, Michael Phelps are to collaborate as hosts of SNL on the 34th Season’s premier. The episode is to air September 13th.
I’m curious about Lil Wayne’s comedic skills. It could be pretty out there.
