This boy keeps coming through with straight solid bangers. If this ain’t meant for riding around with the top down then I don’t know what is. Get with him now or watch him on tv later.

PleaseDontStare.Com Presents Mixtape: The Best That Ever Did It (Produced By The Ruling Class)

I posted this back when we were at the old hideout but I figured one more gin can never hurt. The Immortal Ruling Class provided the production, The late great Frank White the vocals. One of the best mixes of Big lyrics that we have ever heard over at PDS, and we’re not just saying that because the Ruling Class happens to have Benhameen as a member. Tracks after the break. Trust me on this one. In case you don’t heres a couple to preview, but the whole mix needs to be heard as one.

The COC Presents T. Shirt & Darvin Silva – The Tan Faced Children EP

I’ve been waiting on this since we first started posting Mr. Shirt. Now with the release of The Tan Faced Children EP officially sponsored by The COC it all comes full circle. If you’ve been keeping up with us then you already heard the soon to be classic 24 Frames. If not then just go ahead and grab the whole thing below. I’m putting my official stamp on T. Shirt and Darvin Silva’s creation. Off the bat Recommendation is nuts. I love how these guys have taken that dirty European sound and applied it to Hip-Hop. If you tired of the bullshit then get this. Now. Tracklist after the jump.

Memory Lane: The Notorious B.I.G. – Juicy (Live On The Jon Stewart Show: Unreleased Footage)

Wow thanks to whoever dug this gem up. The live band gives this joint a nice little swing. Trust me we got a lot of posts coming today dedicated to the late great Christopher Wallace but I just dug this up so here you go. I don’t even remember Jon Stewart having a show back then.

The Connoisseurs of Culture present T.Shirt & Darvin Silva - 24 Frames

Once again The COC presents another exclusive from my boy T. Shirt. This time Shirt takes the concepts of movie titles and flips it into one of the illest songs I’ve heard in a while. I love when rappers take a concept and actually manage to follow through on it. Shirt takes it all the way with this one, in a manner similar to the GZA’s classic Labels. Darvin murdered the beat and the chorus is insane. Hit the jump for the lyrics with the links to each movie that is mentioned in the song. Thorough. Darvin and Shirt are creating some of the best Hip-Hop in the world right now. I would say lets make a movie but that’s too obvious right?

Editorial: Some Thoughts On The XXL Top Ten Freshmen

“Bueller?…..Bueller?……Bueller?”
It came to my attention perusing the “factual resource” known as the internets that the XXL Freshman class this year had a few no shows. Being that I pretty much get all of my news online I’m putting 100% faith in this claim because well, I’m not going to take the time to find out how true it all is. After all I, spend a bulk of my time creating personal theologies in the rap blog comments sections.
*tilts tin foil fitted*
But I digress….
The three names bought up in particular as being too cool for school were internet and wheel chair basketball phenom Drizzy Drake, Speak and Spell spitter Nicki Minaj and prophetic journeyman Jay Electramadan Mohamad Asalam….(you listened to Exhibit C as much as I did so you know the rest). I understand that in their absence three other apt pupils were eligible to enroll and to whomever those three are, congrats. For the life of me I though internets I’m not sure as to why these three would decline.
