GQ Interviews D’Angelo

“I felt like I was going to be next. I ain’t bullshitting. I was scared then. I was so fucked-up, I couldn’t go.” — D’Angelo on how the death of J Dilla and the mortality other great black artists consumed him.

To D’Angelo, good and evil are not abstract concepts but tangible forces he reckons with every day. In his life and in his music, he has always felt the tension between the sacred and the profane, the darkness and the light.

“There’s forces that are going on that I don’t think a lot of motherfuckers that make music today are aware of,” he says. “It’s deep. I’ve felt it. I’ve felt other forces pulling at me. This is a very powerful medium that we are involved in. I learned at an early age that what we were doing in the choir was just as important as the preacher. It was a ministry in itself. We could stir the pot, you know? The stage is our pulpit, and you can use all of that energy and that music and the lights and the colors and the sound. But you know, you’ve got to be careful.”

“Alright” (feat. Rob Jackson, CunninLynguists, Jup & Courtney Campbell) (prod. Young L.O.R.D., Frank Mabson & JK 47)

dir. Deacon The Villain & Steven Mossberg

In the wake of the tornado devastation that ripped through the state of Kentucky on March 2, 2012, and claimed the lives of 22 people and destroyed the homes of thousands, local underground artists Rob Jackson and Da’Mon “Jup” Norris, have found away to give back through song. Pulling together a cast of local well-known musicians, they look to share Alright with everybody who will listen.

All proceeds of songs sales on ITunes will go to “Kentucky Cares” which supports the relief efforts of the American Red Cross.

Very nice!

Check out the Kenny Colombo Combo. Sometimes you all need to de-program and listen to something else. Atleast to somebody that’s doing something which requires some talent and skill. Thanks to Olaf Zwetsloot (sax & composer) for sending this through.

Five Star Dank - “Reparations” / “Barry White”

Straight out of H-Town! Check Out One of the realest spitters on the scene in H-town these days…known as Five Star Dank! Peep this, he’s also the go-to guy for video treatments, and screenplays & movie scripts.

This guy’s hustle alone should inspire anybody trying to make something out of nothing, let alone have a successful rap career. I’ve had the pleasure of listening to a couple of his tracks, pre-mixed. His affiliations in the city of syrup are not needed in this mention, so no name drops..just stay tuned for more from this up and coming STAR, 5 STAR!

And peep the short freestyle on DJ Green Lantern’s Invasion Radio!

The homie Mystikal has come a long way since the Silky Jumbo Braids…HA!
Put that Beatrice bread behind him and man, call it comeback ! I likes the video, and song is sick, I will admit. Never Expected him to make a comeback like this. You have to respect his grind since he’s been home.

DJ Green Lantern should have pushed his ass into getting that ole thang back ! That “I know yall niggas can’t fuck with me cause I can’t fuck wit my DAAAAAMN SELF !” type of heat. Mystikal stil spittin, still got that style you’d like to call down south Busta Rhymes-ish…kind of. I’d disagree though and give all the credit to the boot!

Hadee. New week. New hot video from Aural Sex. “When The Temperature Rise” is one of the favs off the album. Nobody is working their album like Hadee right now. Take notes.

Who can’t relate to the subject matter and visual presented in the Rashid’s latest. I can recall with so much ease heated conversations that resulted in cycles of breakups to makeups.
