These midi maestros are at the forefront of this beat revolution bringing the old into the new and making new out of the technologically modern. There ain’t much need to say too much about the repertoire within each of these prolific artists profiles because we’re too busy listening and nodding our heads that the music speaks for itself. Sampling, producing and remixing 8bit sounds, soul classics, spoken word, old school beats and everything in between and unheard this is our list of 20 headnodic beat makers we’re listening to right now.

pimpin' aint beasy — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 05:24:43 +0000

Finally. A date for Dre’s long (long, looooong) awaited album, Detox, has been set.

To quote Dre, it’s coming, “4/20, baby. 4/20, I’m comin’.”

Otherwise known as April 20, the pot smoker’s holiday.

Appropriate.

buy banksy’s identity… on ebay (where else)

pimpin' aint beasy — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 05:45:25 +0000

eBay has been known to sell some crayyyyzy shit. Jesus toast. Brad Pitt’s garbage. Some poor bastard’s actual life.

And now – Banksy’s identity.

You read right.

eBay user ”jaybuysthings” is currently auctioning off the opportunity to discover the illusive British graff artist’s true identity

It’s currently bidding for only a measly $US999,999 clams.

Is there acrtually someone out there that would fork over that kind of dough?

Or is this Banksy just cashing in?
