Consequence Renames Upcoming Album

Cons' has been out the game for a little while since his first release ("Don't Quit Your Day Job"). Here you'll see Cons' and John [the] Legend finishing up the first single "Whatever You Want". The new album was originally called "You Win Some, You Lose Some", but due to the popularity of his net-show, he has renamed it to "ConsTV", after the show itself. Here's some more info..

Joe Jackson Needs a Heart Transplant..

..'cause the one he has now is made of stone. Everyone already knows how terrible of a father he was, but this is taking it too far. At least feel guilt for the way you treated your own son (and his siblings) you cold hearted..bleh. Honestly, when you have fans that care more about you than your own father, it's just..ugh, w/e..here's the video.

Artist of the Week: Michael Jackson (R.I.P.)

What better way to kick off the Artist of the Week series than the late, great King of Pop, Michael Jackson?

You must be wondering why a non-hip-hop artist is being featured. Well, you're very wrong about that. Jackson has influenced countless hip-hop artists and has been sampled on numerous tracks, classic and new. From Nas, Jay-Z, and Raekwon to Kanye West, Mike has been in the hearts of hip-hop fans longer than they've ever known.

Last week, Michael Jackson died unexpectedly - leaving family, friends, and fans in grief. But rather than remaining in this sadness, we have to celebrate his life as he lives through his heart-stealing music, legendary dance, and innovative videos.

So here's a week to you. As promised, there's playlist with a lot of his tracks (53 to be exact) and you'll be seeing random blurbs etc. about the great man here! So stay tuned!!

Lupe Fiasco - L.A.S.E.R.S. Manifesto

I was already hyped for this. But this..this is epic. WE ARE LOSERS LASERS!


THE L.A.S.E.R.S. MANIFESTO
To Every Man, Woman & Child…
1. We Want An End To The Glamorization Of Negativity In The Media.
2. We Want An End To Status Symbols Dictating Our Worth As Individuals.
3. We Want A Meaningful And Universal Education System.
4. We Want Substance In The Place Of Popularity.
5. We Will Not Compromise Who We Are To Be Accepted By The Crowd.
6. We Want The Invisible Walls That Separate By Wealth, Race & Class To Be Torn Down.
7. We Want To Think Our Own Thoughts.
8. We Will Be Responsible For Our Environment.
9. We Want Clarity & Truth From Our Elected Officials Or They Should Move Aside.
10. We Want Love Not Lies.
11. We Want An End To All Wars. Foreign & Domestic (Violence).
12. We Want An End To The Processed Culture Of Exploitation, Over-Consumption & Waste.

Lasers are the opposite of losers. Lasers are shining beams of light that burn through the darkness of ignorance. Lasers shed light on injustice and inequality. Losers stand by and let things happen. Lasers act and shape their own destinies. Lasers find meaning and direction in the mysteries all around them. Lasers stand for love and compassion. Lasers stand for peace. Lasers stand for progression. Lasers are revolutionary.

Lasers Are The Future.

We’re Not Losers…We Are L.A.S.E.R.S.!!!

Love Always Shines Every-time Remember 2 Smile!

Artists of the Week

So to make the blog a bit more interesting I plan on creating weekly artist themes on the site. Each week you'll see a new banner with the artist of the week. There will be a featured playlist on the right where you see currently see the iPhone music stream.

You'll notice that the King of Pop is currently in the banner. Now, usually these weekly themes will start on a Sunday, but I decided that we should start this on early because of the recent events. On Sunday night or Monday morning you'll see a playlist of some of Jackson's amazing music.

Now, are you an upcoming artist that wants some great promotion, contact me with some of your music and maybe you can be featured for a whole week on the site! Again, that includes your picture in the banner and a playlist of your music on the page, along with posts of music/news etc. of you that I want to put up AS WELL AS you being put in the "Artist of the Week" archive. So get at me -- beatwize@gmail.com

This is what this blog is all about. This is What Feelings Sound Like.

Rhymefest - Man in the Mirror [MICHAEL JACKSON TRIBUTE]

Yesterday was a hard day for Michael Jackson fans worldwide. Today, a day after the initial pain we find many people giving their regards to his family, friends, and fans. Rhymefest is one of these artists. He has re-released his '07 mixtape that sampled/remixed Jackson's music as a free download dedicated to the memory of the King of Pop Music. In 'Fest's words:

"People like to refer to MJ as the King of Pop. I disagree. I think many of us realize he was the King of Music, redefining the way many artists approach their craft; whether it be Hip-Hop, soul, R&B, blues, pop and rock. Please download MAN IN THE MIRROR and recapture his misunderstood beauty." - Rhymefest

So here it is. "Man in the Mirror: A Tribute to Michael Jackson".

August 29, 1958 - June 25TH 2009

Today, we lost another legend. Today, an artist that changed the face of music, dance, and music video passed away. As most of you already know, Michael Jackson died today after suffering from a heart attack. Even through all the controversy, he was and always will be known as the king of pop. So here's to you, Mr. Jackson. To a lifetime of amazing artistry. Cheers & Peacepeace.

Nas & Damian Marley - Distant Relatives Trailer

Here's a trailer for the Esco/Jr. Gong collab album entitled "Distant Relatives". If you missed it, yesterday I dropped a snippet from the album. Click here to check that out. And now, the video:

Kanye's New Video is..obnoxious?

So I was blog searching today and found out the new Kanye video is coming out for the Lil' Wayne collaboration on his 808s album entitled "See You in my Nightmares". The video is directed by the one and only Spike Jonze and has been turned into a short movie called "We Were Once A Fairytale". The Daily Swarm got to check out the premier and it seems they were kinda disgusted. After reading the article, I think I would be too. This is what they said:
-----------------------------------
Kanye West was rolling deep at the Los Angeles Film Festival tonight, surprising the audience with the premier of a short film by Spike Jonze called We Were Once A Fairytale.

In the film, Kanye plays himself drunk at a club acting belligerent and boastful, telling starstruck club-goers that the song playing in the club is his. He wanders into a side room where he encounters a beautiful woman. They start having sex and then he passes out on her leopard print dress. When he comes to, he finds himself in the VIP room with his pants down – he was hallucinating and fucking the pillow. The realization startles him and he rushes to the bathroom where he vomits what look like rose petals.

Then it gets weird.

Kanye finds a bowie knife in the bathroom and cuts into his stomach, spilling a torrent of more petals. He digs in the knife deeper and then with his hand rips out a small furry rodent, like a demon, only its quite cute. When Kanye realizes it’s connected to him with an umbilical cord, he pulls it hard, ripping it out of him for good. He then puts the demon on the sink and hands him a tiny bowie knife to fit the critter’s scale who then uses it to commit hari kari.

The short, written and directed by Spike Jonze, walks the fine line between self aggrandizement and self mockery that runs through all of Kanye’s endeavors. But the filmmaking is on point, with cinematography and sound design that authentically renders that feeling of being really disoriented in a nightclub. One doesn’t need to love Kanye to love the film, but the Jonze short takes what people love and hate about Kanye’s persona and then pushes it into a new, trippy realm. And in case you’re wondering, the answer is no, Kanye still can’t act. The film features the song “See you in my Nightmares” from 808s and Heartbreaks, remixed and pretty severely tweaked by Spike Jonze’s brother and N.A.S.A.‘s Squeak E. Clean (Sam Spiegel).
-----------------------------------
Wow..I always knew Kanye had off-the-rocker videos, but this is something else. I don't think I even want to see this for myself. But I probably will.
