the hardest working band in the industry (at least hiphop cuz I’m not up on bands like that). And ?uestlove IS the hardest working man in the whole industry. Do these guys ever sleep? Maybe, but i doubt it. They just wrapped up some shows in Japan, where i believe they said they previewed a bunch of new shit. FUCK THAT!! I saw them live(TWICE!!!) and no new ish, now their show is the dopest, but i want new shit!. Anyway, i wonder what exactly did they do and what it sounds like. The “Please Don’t Go” demo version has been around for a minute, and i love it. And word is they have been doin the song in their set too. IDK but I’m just ready for Rising Down.

so if you don’t know(which I’m sure you do), Phonte does not get the attention he deserves (shit Little Brother for that matter). I mean everyone makes their top MC/rapper list but i never hear Tay’s name in the convo (or black thought for that matter, more on that later). Now if you can throw a local off the corner cornball in the argument or weezy, then Tiggalo is a must. I’m not gonna elaborate on extended metaphors, or punchlines, or delivery because I’m not gonna write a whole book, but suffice it to say not many are fuckin with Taygravy. For reference I’ll hit ya’ll wit Mr. Coleman’s verse from “Yellow Lines” found on the Cunninlyguists “Dirty Acres”.( if u don’t know Phonte is on the 3rd verse). Which, imo, may be the best from ’07 (that and 3 stacks verse on AOSTP4, too close to call for me)

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait for Brooklynati. The sophomore effort of the IllWill(Ilyas and Donwill) fused with Von Pea and a dash of brickbeats group that goes by the unusual name of Tanya Morgan. If you haven’t heard Moonlighting then you have been in a coma the likes of which should not be seen. They have a slew of releases upcoming by way of mixtapes and solo joints. Now it may sound a little amateur-ish as far as mixing but the rhymes and feel are pro-fee-esh-in-al ((c) weezy). My suggestion is get like clinton sparks and Get Familiar! Cuz these dudes is ill (no pun intended). Check there blogs (Hit the Lainks) and website (tanyamorgan.com) and their myspace’s donwill, ilyas and von pea.

I always wonder why the music game is so slow in he 1st quarter. I mean someone prominent should take advantage of the lack of competition in the cold beginning months of the year. They might be rewarded with better sells then may have gotten otherwise. Just a thought.
