Brothers and Sisters, Brothers and Sisters...I Don't Know What This World is Coming to?

Given my oh so tired state from my ridiculously fun weekend, I thought we might take it down a notch. I'm feeling mellow and am thinking of some hip hop that is perfect for a sunday after a long weekend of drizzin'.

First I want to share a new track from the Minneapolis duo Atmosphere. Minneapolis? I know what you're thinking, *Phew* no more B'Mo/Philly...well at least for right now. Ant and Slug just came out with their 6th album and if this song is indicative of what the rest of the album sounds like then I am all in. In all honesty, I am not in love with everything they do but this track is some good stuff. You'll dig the beat and the lyrics are fly. Check it:

As many of you know I often listen to my ipod on shuffle. On the way home from the airport, it played a duo that I am sad to say no longer exists. This is Jaylib which was the combination of Madlib and the late J Dilla. J Dilla died in February 2006 of Lupus. He was only 32 and had soo much talent. Although they mostly did their own solo work, Madlib and Dilla hooked up and made this amazing album in 2003 called "Champion Sound". This album is perfect for my mood at the moment. Favorite tracks include, "The Red", "The Heist", "Strip Club" and "Survival Test". Go roll a J, take a few tokes and listen.

As a bonus, I am including a track that Jaylib remixed. It's called "Hydrant Game" (feat. Quasimoto). This is how much I love you and love this song. The track is on Peanut Butter Wolf's album 2k8 BBall Zombie War. I bought the album from Itunes. As you know, you can't share any tracks bought off of itunes. So I decided tonight I was going to search and search for this track so I could share it with you. Just so you know I started this posting at 7:30 p.m. and it's just about 10 p.m. See I do love you!! I finally found this website called www.djdownloads.com. It's a British site and like Itunes you pay, but you have the ability to share the tracks. Take another toke off that J, listen to the lyrics, do the hip hop head nod and smile as you witness this 1:37 masterpiece.

Since this post has been dedicated to hip hop duos, I thought it apropos to end with Public Enemy. I found out that Chuck and Flav will be playing "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back" in its entirety at the Pitchfork Music Festival 7/18-7/20. As you know that album is simply amazing. I'm sharing the copy I actually uploaded from the original record. It might not be a perfect recording so I apologize in advance...but it will be cool to hear some of the snap, crackle, pops! Now who wants to come with me to Chi-Town in July? We can do a side trip to Wrigley, drink some Old Style and cheer on my boyfriend DeRosa. Who knows...maybe we'll even run into Kid Sister?

TERRRRRRRMIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRR XXXXXXX!
