Welp, this sounds great.

I LIKE THIS. <3
an AD documentary? This would hold me over until a film was released. I don’t know if I could ever get enough of this show.
The making of the Biz Markie/Heineken ads
I have a huge crush on the girls in this video. Also, I loathe the Asian guy.
I love this commercial. This wasn’t very insightful as a ‘making of’ but what do you want for a behind the scenes of a 30 second commercial.
Track of the Day - Median “Rize”
One of my all time favorites, off of Median’s Relief in the Making mixtape, mixed by DJ Low Key and hosted by 9th Wonder. I randomly selected this track for a mix I made for Drew way back and he bumped it so much it hit me how good it really was. What happened to Median? I’m going to have to try to find the Relief LP somewhere and see if it is as good as his mixtape.
For now download this tape via Low Key’s blog.
Nerding it up backstage at the BHHF. Top pic with the homie Patrick, bottom shot with Homeboy Sandman.
*waits for Jeff to IM and make fun of Homeboy Sandman*
Track of the Day - Lil Wayne “Reciept”
It’s kinda hard saying this shit to your face,
so I do it over snares and bass,
music take me away
This is the song that made me a Wayne fan. I was late to check out The Carter II, but I remember buying a used copy about 6 months after it came out at Newbury Comics on Cape Cod.
This was a bit before the buzz around Wayne hit true pandemonium with the Drought 3 and Carter 3 bootlegs from The Empire, that made the anticipation for his studio album so big. I remember friends and fellow hip-hop fans making fun of me rocking out to an artist that was down with Cash Money. Eventually those friends came full circle as the buzz grew with songs like “Outstanding” and “I feel like dying” showing up in best of lists for 2007.
Weezy has a big tour and a new rock record set for 2009, but its the Carter II and ‘07 Lil Wayne that showed this young talent in his prime. Lets hope it wasn’t a peak.
Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival
A bit of the footage shot over Saturday in DUMBO, up now at The Volume
This past weekend marked the fifth annual Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival, and despite an afternoon of intermittent rainfall, crowds showed up in droves throughout the eight-hour day to support their own. Check out our video for performance clips from Brown-Bag All Stars, Donny Goines and Tanya Morgan, along with more behind-the-scenes action, and read on for a recap.
Beef on the Upper West Side.
In case you missed it, the very funny new video above from itsthereal, done in the style of one Jay Smooth, frequently featured on this blog.
Track of the Day - Tiron ft. Ayomari “Sydney”
Off of the free mixtape, Ketchup (download here). I’ve been a fan of this artist since he first came across on 2DopeBoyz over a year ago. The mixtape features a number of standout tracks, another personal favorite is the joint “Quitter.”
This song has a fun loving melody and hook to what is sort of an all too familiar and depressing topic of ‘the friend zone.’ Its a topic that has been covered by many artists and also by another favorite MC, 88-Keys. How is it that these songs always show up on random at the right time?
Nontheless, a great song, and if you can relate, bump it.
