3 other things...

Just want to state a few things publicly:


1. Thank fuck Andre 3000 is rapping again. The "Walk it Out" Remix opened the door to this new, overly rhythmic choppy flow. Then it was the "Throw Some D's" Remix, some other track I can't remember, and then his verse on "What a Job" the track by Devin the Dude...who you are probably already sleeping on anyway. His new album is called "Waiting to Inhale", which should be enough reason to own it already. Get it, buy a blunt off the shadiest dude you know, borrow your Mom's car, put 85 cents in the tank, and get faded with that record on the sunniest day you can find.




2. The bassline from "Blindness" by The Fall (from the album Fall Heads Roll) is almost identical to the bassline from "Witness (one hope)" by Roots Manuva. Get the Jist of the bassline from the Fall track in this damn Mitsubishi commercial (cry 'sell-out' on someone else's time, you monkeys).



It doesn't seem that far fetched, they are both from the UK and fairly well known. "Blindness" came after "Witness" just so you know.

Anyway, mashup geeks get to work.

3. I forgot what was supposed to go here. Shit. Have a good day.

EDIT: I remembered. Detroit rap, I started saying this awhile ago, but look for detroit rap making a big push (i've already seen a lot of press, so they stole my idea) Black Milk, Phat Kat, Guilty Simpson (collabs with four tet??? whaaaaat?), and the posthumous Dilla releases will make sure Detroit becomes at least one major destination for hip hop. Remember where you heard that when you are diggin up old Dirty District mixtapes and telling people you were "on that shit in '02".
