I heard this on jerk’s show (asheville fm “Worst Case Scenario) last week. supposedly it’s from a new project between former jay-z partner dame dash and mos def, with a new label called Black Roc”. sounds to be some good stuff.
this song seriously heals. uhn.
nws.
Mos Def Jim Jones with the Black Keys Hoochie
here’s an interesting interview with mos on the topic, plus some other things.Topics include a rap supergroup Battle for New Orleans soundclash that includes Mos Def with Black Thought, DOOM, NAS, Jay Electronica vs. Jay Z & whoeva for $10 million, half to charity, half to the winners. Interesting. He also speaks on Dave Chappelle, will.i.am who played keys on Umi Says & the politics behind why you might not know that, and the concept of claiming the title The Greatest. Good listen.
and mos def in NO at the Common Ground Stronghold
interesting trivia-the hat he has on near the middle says “the hundreds” which is a record label mildly affiliated with Asheville’s fist fam.
did you know Asheville is “GurpCity South” because of the Fist Fam?
It’s true.
Now, “What’s Gurp?”, you might ask. Well, some might say it is a state of hightened enlightenment due to extreme drunken-ness.
But let’s just SEE and HEAR what’s Gurp from Asheville’s own Native Son, Philo, out in SF CA. He’s gurped out, mane! So drunk he can barely stand, barely talk, but he still kills it.
not work safe.
as someone noted in the comments on this video, Philo handing the live mic to someone in the crowd and standing there with his arms crossed is the epitome of savage gurp-ness.
