Pure Humor

Last week, MTV aired it's list of Hottest MCs in the Game (2008). Ha. I don't have much to say about this, except "Really??" Guess Snoop got on there because of that Sexual Eruption song, right?

10. T.I.
09. Andre 3000
08. Young Jeezy
07. Lupe Fiasco
06. 50 Cent
05. Snoop Dogg
04. Rick Ross
03. Lil Wayne
02. Jay-Z
01. Kanye West

Well, at least the photo shoot was cool.

W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E.

Wale "W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E." from Elitaste on Vimeo.

For those of you who regularly listen to Detonate, you probably know that I think Wale is the best thing since sliced bread. And Justice is amazing. So, putting those two together is bound to make something epic, right? Enter W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E. which was featured on the Catchdubs mixtape 100 Miles and Running. And now (finally) the video, directed by Todd Angkasuwan, is out. Check it!

Wale - 100 Miles and Running

Kidz In The Hall

This song has been around for a minute, but someone asked me about the Kidz In The Hall yesterday, so I thought I'd post the El-P remix of Drivin' Down The Block for you all.

Kidz In The Hall - Drivin' Down The Block (El-P Remix)

And The Video

Murs Eats Like He Gives A Damn.

I just found out that Murs (of the Living Legends) is pretty much a vegan! Now I feel so much better promoting his music. I was just sitting around trying to find reason to post this Z-Trip remix of Murs.... And now I have one. Awesome.

Z-Trip - Kiss remix (Murs vs. Prince)

Design is curtosy of Herbivore Clothing. If you don't know about them... um, sorry.

Portland Elects New Mayor

Word. He likes bikes and gay people. He has cool glasses. All right Sam, do us proud! Think he's down with The Cool Kids?? Um, well, maybe...

The Cool Kids - Black Mags (zshare)

Chillaxin' on Tri-met

First of all, big huge ups to my boy Michael Walcott for hooking me up with this cd single. Dynamix takes it to the next level by rapping about tri-met. I mean, seriously? This takes me back to a few years ago when I was rudely awakened by these dudes rapping on a tricked out bus slowly driving down Alberta Street. You can't make this shit up. I quote "Me and my boys chillin' on the MAX and the bus/Lookin' both ways before steppin' dawg that is a must". Good lookin out, boys.

Dynamix - Chillaxin' on the Max

Barack Wins Oregon

Well, like its any surprise, but Barack Obama (pictured above with The Cool Kids) had a resounding victory in Oregon today. Go Barack. I mean, c'mon, how many 46 year old dudes know who The Cool Kids are? Even if they are from Chicago. Thats gotta be worth something right? Definitely ups his "electability" factor.

The Cool Kids - Jingling

I Know Ur Girlfriend Hates Me

Inspired by this hot track I played last week on my show - I Know Ur Girlfriend Hates Me (Get Shakes Remix) by Annie (You know, the Norwegian Disco Goddess) I have decided to go all out and do an "Other Woman" show.
Well, its not all about sisterhood, but I gotta rep for my man-stealing girls out there. So check out the show tonight. And hit me up if you have anything to say about it.
