Start the day off RIGHT w/ODB

good morning fam... While you were clocking zees, I was putting the finishing touches on Herman Heed 2. I'm fairly sure I couldn't have made it if I didn't have the teevee on Backspin satellite radio channel, which rotated through random classic hip hop joints. Eventually, it landed on OBD's classic joint Brooklyn Zoo... then it was REALLY on...

Conspiracy chops it up w/ the RZA

If you heart hardcore hip hop, you need to peep my peoples across the pond from Conspiracy Worldwide Radio! Sit back and enjoy 6 hours of fresh hip hop. In addition to spinning that funky stuff your ex-girl says is just noise, Menace and Mista Montana got an amazing interview with The RZA on this joint...

Bachalo SMASHED this cover for Method Man, Ghostface, and Raekwon!

I believe the mighty Wu-tang trio of Method Man, Ghostface and Raekwon the Chef are going by the moniker "3 The Hard Way" for the new collabo album Wu-Massacre, but whatever the case, I posted this mainly to remark on how dope this art turned in by veteran comicbook artist Chris Bachalo (Shade The Changing Man, Generation X, Assualt on Weapon Plus) is! If this record is anything but Legendary, Bachalis should sue and get sole custody of this artwork! But with Meth, Ghost and Raekwon, (with production by the RZA and Mathematics) it might actually live up to the record cover! the joint drops March 30th, so we'll see! if you're afraid you'll forget, you can preorder from Amazon... just click here (so they know ya heard it from me!)

holla!

Is it the 27th Yet?

I'm not sure if this BlakRoc record could POSSIBLY come out fast enough...
DOWNLOAD: BlakRoc – Dollaz & Sense f. the mighty Pharoahe Monch & RZA

Do You Smell What the Roc is Cookin'?

Blakroc: Ain't Nothing Like You (Hoochie Coo) Ft. Mos Def and Jim Jones from Jonah Schwartz on Vimeo.

Rock group The Black Keys + Dame Dash = Blakroc, in stores 11/27. Album also features Mos Def, Q-Tip, RZA, Ludacris, Pharoahe Monch, NOE, Nicole Wray, Billy Danze, Raekwon and Ol’ Dirty Bastard. if you were planning on dropping your album on that date, MOVE it or there's gonna be a freakin' problem!

ODB The Movie?

Looks like the RZA is working the angles to get a biopic made of his cousin and fellow Wu-Tang Clansmen, the late great Old Dirty Bastard (RIP '68-'04). In an excellent interview with the AV Club, RZA spoke on the possibilities.

“We have talked about it. His estate is pretty confused... on what to do, and all the rights and all that shit, but it’s definitely been talked about... So we’ll see what life brings. In my opinion, I’d rather see an ODB pic than a Wu-Tang Clan pic. But an ODB pic, just to really describe his life, would be good. Right now, there is a documentary that’s done that’s pretty good. It ain’t a knock out of the park, but it’s pretty good, it gives a nice piece of him. Then you start with that, and we can build more awareness about his life, and build more interest in people seeing a movie about it.”

the internets are alive with the sound of people speculating as to who could play ole Dirt Mcgirt, and unfortunately, all the wrong names are being thrown around, most notably Chris Rock and Tracy Morgan. i would actually prefer to see a real actor cast to play Dirt. i don't understand why you would cast a comedian. i think odb was dead serious most of the time, just very eccentric. i hope they get an actual actor, and let the laughs come from the situations, not from making it a shitty slapstick movie.

I'd prefer more of an arthouse style film, and if i had my say, i'd probably cast Chiwetel Ejiofor (Redbelt, Four Brothers, Inside Man, Children of Men, Talk to Me). He has tons of charisma and on-screen gravity, plus he strikes me as actor enough to really give in to any role he takes. paired with the right director, we could have a hip hop classic on our hands! but it's all dreams and spec right now... what do you think? who would you want to star? to direct? what direction do you think an ODB biopic should take?
holla!

That dude the RZA from the Wu-tang Clan dropped this book The Tao of Wu today as "a unique book of wisdom and experience that reaches from the most violent slums of New York City to the highest planes of spiritual thought by the RZA, hip-hop's most exalted wise man." The book is built around major moments in the RZA's life when he was faced with a dramatic turning point, either bad (a potential prison sentence) or good (a record deal that could pull his family out of poverty), and the lessons he took from each experience. peep the video for his hilarious promo appearance on The Colbert Report.

the OTHER Tony Stark drops an Original Graphic Novel...

i just found out your boy pretty Tony, aka Ghostface from Wu-tang is dropping an OGN at the end of the month called Cell Block Z. Framed for a murder, prize fighter Cole Dennis finds himself on lock in a prizon that uses inmates as lab rats. soon Dennis is born again hard as a towering engine of destruction, whose righeous vengeance will echo beyond the cold steel walls of Cell Block Z.
if you haven't read my review of Method's Graphic Novel, you should check that out. word is, RZA is working on a joint called Attack of the Brooklyn Super Ninjas, so clearly, it's a Wu-Tang world. but right now, it's all about Ghost. Soon as i get my hands on a copy of this joint, i'll let y'all know what's up! the book is due in stores July 29th.
holla!
