This was one of my brother's favorites off "Jay Stay Paid." Apparently the video was on demand - but it's not anymore. So instead of watching it with lil bro, I got a re-enactment were he made the gat motion several times and said "Pop the biscuit." Then he just e-mailed it to me.

This year's Bonnaroo lineup was just announced - and there's one act that really jumped out at me. The combination of Daryl Hall and Chromeo is an all star match made in synth pop heaven.

Here's some videos of them jamming out at Hall's house as part of the Live from Daryl's House series. Incredible.

There's a couple more tracks, including "Method of Modern Love," that I can't find embeds for. Watch them here.

Also, Chromeo just re-upped their blog.

You should already know that Matthew Africa makes a mean mixtape. And if you didn't - you should be ashamed of yourself and go and buy his Too $hort and R. Kelly mixes here.

A couple of months ago he posted this dope DJ Quik mix which I had on steady rotation all summer. Ed note: I really thought I blogged about this before, but I can't seem to find it?

He just recently posted a this Pimp C (RIP) mix. No surprise - it's another banger.

You're a Jerk

2009-11-24T13:05:00.000-08:00

The NY Times just ran a story about jerking.

"Seen in formal terms, said Sally Sommer, a dance historian who teaches at Florida State University, jerking may merely be a cousin to the “lambada or the twist.” It is certainly, Ms. Sommer said, less physically demanding than krumping or vogueing or the other highly skilled and innovative urban forms of dance. But the lambada was a fad. The twist was a fad. And jerking, its adherents say, has a cultural resonance that goes beyond the Reject and the Tippy Toe."

There was a cool story in the NY Times about Kobe yesterday.

"When you first come into the league, you’re trying to prove yourself as an individual, do things to assert yourself and establish yourself,” he added. “But then once you’ve done that, there’s another level to the game that’s more complex than figuring out how to put up big numbers as an individual."

Hindustani Gangster

2009-10-29T00:05:00.000-07:00

Inspired by Indian cinema of the 70's and Jay-Z's critically acclaimed album "American Gangster," "Hindustani Gangster" tells the passionate tale of a Mumbai hustler's sordid lifestyle.

Yeah. For reals. Here's more:

"The more we watched and listened to American Gangster, and the more we revisited Bollywood classics . . . the more inevitable fusing the stories of the American and Indian gangster themes became."
