Why the Hell Should I Like… A Tribe Called Quest? (The Rebuttal)
“ Why the hell should I like… ?” is an experiment of sorts between Popblerd and The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit . What we’re going to attempt to do is to pick 10 songs from our favorite artists — one for which the other has professed dislike or disinterest — and show them why they’re wrong. I know it’s probably hard to believe, but I didn’t listen to a lot of hip hop growing up. I know, it’s nuts right? Sure I had a copy […]
Another Opinion On Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest
Big Money Mike and I were going to collaborate on a review of the new Michael Rapaport documentary about A Tribe Called Quest. But in the back of my mind, I knew that Mike was going to have a lot to say and I thought he should post his thoughts alone ( which he did here ) and I could come in a few days later and give a few opinions on my own. This isn’t a full-fledged review, as I already did that […]
“Beats, Rhymes & Life” Official Trailer Hits the Airwaves
I’ve been talking about this Tribe Called Quest documentary for a hot minute, and with the film finally scheduled to hit theaters later this summer, anticipation on my end has reached a fever pitch. A new trailer for the film recently surfaced on Yahoo, and this looks like it’s going to be one of the all time hip-hop docs, nay, MUSIC docs of all time. I can not fucking wait. Michael Rapaport did his thing here. http://youtu.be/XJFOM1qRLe8 Opening dates for […]
Give Me “Beats, Rhymes & Life”!: Tribe Doc Gets Release Dates
If you, like me, have been salivating for a viewing of the controversial Michael Rapaport-directed Tribe Called Quest documentary “Beats, Rhymes & Life”, then you’re in luck, as a national rollout was just announced. The film premiered at the Sundance festival earlier this year, screened at the Tribeca Film Festival in NYC last night, and officially premieres in New York and Los Angeles on the 8th of July. Over the following month or so, it will hit most major cities […]
Moonlighting: Raphael Saadiq on Popdose (Plus a Playlist!)
A Twitter conversation that began when I posted Raphael Saadiq’s new “Radio” single a week and a half ago led me to promising Popdose Grand Poobah Jeff Giles that I would complete a guide to Saadiq’s music. These guides are a lot of fun to do, but they’re a lot of work. I can’t say that I remember every single song in anyone’s discography, so over the next few days I listened to all of my old Tony Toni Tone albums (and […]
New Week, New Kanye Song: “Chain Heavy”
Another week and a half, and Kanye’s new album is out. That hasn’t deterred him from releasing new G.O.O.D. Friday songs, though. Even while feuding with NBC and Matt Lauer (and using up a great deal of the goodwill I’ve accumulated towards him by acting like a beeyotch), he’s been in the studio. The latest effort is “Chain Heavy”, a song that (at least when you look at the title) sounds kinda Gucci Mane-ish? Or maybe Soulja Boy-esque? Thankfully, neither […]
Smoothed Out Sunday: "Electric Relaxation"
Today is Easter Sunday. Today is also the first day of the 2010 baseball season (or as I like to call it, the year when the Yankees win their 28th World Series title). So I choose to celebrate this Sunday with…a song about sex? Why the hell not? For most people, you can sum up the love song in hip-hop with a few words. “Bitch”, “ho” and “suck my dick” would probably do the trick (no pun intended) for most. […]
G.O.O.D. for the Soul: Common, Kweli & Consequence
Spring is officially in the air (although the first official day of the season is still a couple days away), and you can feel a good vibe in the air, especially after a horrid winter like we’ve had up here in New England. Continuing in that feel-good kinda vibe, I present you with the latest track from three of my all-time favorite emcees. Featured on the latest Clinton Sparks mixtape: Queens MC Consequence joins forces with Brooklyn’s Talib Kweli and […]
