Kibbles and Bits #5

Yes indeed...another round up of some of the dopest Hip Hop video's out there today and the Remember Back In The Days video clip of the month.

 













"Remember Back In The Days"... Clip of the Month:

R.I.P. Lou Reed

Today was not a perfect day, in fact it was a sad morning, I awoke to the news that highly influential Rock legend Lou Reed had passed away at 71.

As a youth I used to listen to my Father's Lou Reed records and bought the "Sun City" 12" when it was first released (where it is now I have no idea though haha), I won't claim to be an expert on all of his music, but what I did listen to over the years was always enjoyable and he had a voice that was quite simply unique.



At a later stage I discovered The Velvet Underground and of course Lou and The Velvet Underground have been sampled in Hip Hop (we won't mention the terrible Jamie J. Morgan song and the Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch video below was pretty corny, but I left it in there, because the production was decent) particularly on the one of the greatest Hip Hop recordings ever made (see below) who Lou had no problem giving permission for use of the sample.

The music world has lost a true, great talent...RIP Lou Reed

Black Milk-Poison-iTunes Bonus Track

As much as I enjoy the new album-No Poison, No Paradise from Detroit producer and MC Black Milk...I kind of feel that Milk has saved the best for last of his latest offering with the insanely addictive iTunes only bonus track "Poison" 

Seriously, just try and get that vocal sample out of your head.

The CRDS Fat Tape Vol 21

1-2...1-2...

I have had a few readers ask if I planned on doing these compilations again and I thought that it would be a good idea to make like an '88 Kane and Set It Off again...truth be told it has been a longtime between drinks with these fat tapes so I have focused a bit more on some of this years dope offerings along with releases of great Hip Hop recordings from years back.

15 cuts deep...download, share, kick back, play loud and enjoy :D
