ASAP Rocky has been making crazy noise with his street classic “Purple Swag”. If you haven’t seen the video for that you definitely need to check it. He’s back again with a banging new follow-up called “Peso”. Nothing but FIRE coming out of the whole ASAP camp.

also, check out this footage from someone named OverDoz. He’s put together a video montage from his recent visit to the ASAP studio.

Wishing all DJ’s a HEAVYWEIGHT Merry Christmas!

by trulyodd on December 24, 2011

During their tenure as house band for “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon”, the Roots– led by drummer and musical mastermind Ahmir “?uestlove” Thompson– have taken many opportunities to poke fun or pay tribute to guests by choosing punny, sly, or referential walk-on music. Oftentimes, these mini-gags double as the best punchlines of the night.

But many thought they went too far with their pick for Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann last week: Fishbone’s 1985 track “Lyin’ Ass Bitch”. A minor political firestorm followed, with the likes of Bill O’Reilly as well as many women’s groups voicing their disapproval. Bachmann herself called the incident sexist, and said it “wouldn’t be tolerated if it was Michelle Obama and shouldn’t be tolerated for a conservative woman, either.”

With the Roots’ new album undun due out next week, we spoke with ?uestlove on Tuesday about the Bachmann incident, which understandably had him a bit shook and scared for his job. But, as he told us with a laugh, one of his good friends and famed collaborators was actually hoping he’d get suspended: D’Angelo.

Apparently, the elusive soul singer– whose last album, the stunning Voodoo, is nearly 12 years old– saw the dustup as an opportunity to take ?uest back on the road with him when D starts a European tour in January. And as for that forever-awaited follow-up to Voodoo, ?uestlove says it’s “97% done” and that it’s “the black version of [The Beach Boys'] Smile.” While there have admittedly been countless false alarms as far as D’Angelo’s comeback over the years, 2012 is looking extremely promising at the moment.

HVWT’s DJ Jam rocks the house in Lebanon

by trulyodd on October 10, 2011

West Coast DPG’s “DJ Jam” Pumped out Jams at Pier 7

Pier 7 transformed into the dog pound this week when they invited Snoop Dog and Dr. Dre’s official Dog Pound Gang DJ, DJ Jam. Jam has toured all over the globe but has yet to visit Lebanon, until now of course. DJ Jam explained to the crowd that a friend of his informed him “people in Lebanon know how to party”. He was here to see if that tale was true. After a long night of partying DJ Jam was not at all disappointed. We Lebanese do know how to party!
