Also, for the next 3 months or so, Nokia is sponsoring the show. They sent me an N810 and I chat about it a bit in the thing. You can use the code “inoveryourhead” if you’re going to buy one, it’ll give you a 15% rebate on it (which is cheaper than Amazon).

So the plan is to do them every 10-14 days or so… feel free to harass me if I don’t (Podshow will, otherwise). :)

I was expecting to pay like 20 bucks for this thing, but they have it on iTunes for $9.99 (in the US store). You can also grab it on Amazon, etc. etc. Check it out.

P.S.: I’ve actually made a new podcast. It should be up by the end of the day. :P

Jay Smooth has a great video about it, actually, but what I’d like to talk about is the dichotomy between implied violence and actual violence in hip hop.

To give you an idea of how tame violence can seem in a hip hop track, I have never once considered Dead Prez’s “Assassination” to be particularly violent. You probably don’t either– and it includes the lyric “Fuck the Bible, get on your knees and praise my rifle.” Explicit, premeditated, praised violence, right?

The fascinating thing is that, when this implied (though explicit) violence turns to real violence, we all of a sudden switch from being really impressed to being horrified.

Why?

I’ll admit to being victim of it myself– multiple times, in fact. We think violence is cool and that a rapper’s a big man for talking about having a gun, not being afraid to use it, etc. But when we realize he’s telling the truth, and he gets arrested, he becomes the object of ridicule.

It seems backwards to me.

I mean, these were machine guns, for Christ’s sake. But let’s admit it– we all think the violence in music is fake. If it were real, we would be horrified… right?

P.S.: If you’re looking for an album to buy this week, consider Killah Priest instead, which you can listen to on my new episode. (Yeah, I still do a podcast. I’m just as shocked as you are, frankly.)

P.P.S.: Clyde Smith is saying we shouldn’t buy any albums until more of a stance is taken on the Jena 6 issue.

My 150th show, done from the balcony of a hotel room during SXSW 2007. The state and future of the web and of media personalities, my position within the structure, and where I hope to be. It all came out.

This was a great show to do.

Hey, here’s an article about my favourite female rapper, Bahamadia. It includes two downloadable tracks– check it out.

Seriously, it’s criminal that we all have to pay for music that sucks when stuff like this is free. This Definitive Swim compilation puts the previous freeload stuff I’ve blogged about to shame. Go grab yourself some of this.

Do you guys detect a pattern here? A new way of making money with music? If I owned a record label like Definitive Jux or Stones Throw, I would release all my compilations this way.

(But yeesh, I send so many links in the direction of Adult Swim you guys probably think I’m getting paid by them.)

So I recorded this show last week that is to be my last ‘studio’ show in two months or so. So it’s rambling BS until that time! I’ll try to put some songs in there too, though, so don’t stress.

I don’t remember much of what I talked about on this show, except for the fact that RoboCop has a hot ass for no reason whatsoever.

Also, something occurred to me yesterday that I think would be really awesome to do. Considering how huge my collection of podsafe hip hop is, I thought I would make a massively long DJ set (like 3-5 hours long) that would be downloadable and people could use at parties and bars and so on. I asked my three non hip-hop listening friends about this last night and they were all over it, so I think it could work. What do you guys think?

Woo! I did an oldschool style show. Made evident is my hatred of salespeople, the joke that is minimum wage, and other such things.

I have been known to do a number of stupid/irrevocable things in my lifetime. Here’s how I cope with making these decisions without being crippled by doubt.

• PSALM One – Death of the Frequent Flyer

John Yancey, Common, Black Thought, Will.I.Am, etc. are featured in J Dilla’s Won’t Do. I’d embed that shit but I can’t stop it from autoplaying. Video’s awesome though.

And by the way, just like on this one, I will donate a dollar to charity for each comment on this post.

Dear suburbanites: Do not fear black people. Fear your own white children.

• RZA feat MF Doom – Biochemical Equation
• Soul Position – Hand-Me-Downs
• Molemen and Myka 9 – Redemption

Holy shit is this fucking hot.

Notes from being at a homeless shelter for a week, meeting the ex-girlfriend for the first time, and having no show notes whatsoever. Also, I literally end the podcast with 30 seconds of ‘blah blah blah’. Yes, really.

• RJD2 – Iced Lightning
• Jaylib – Nasty McFilth feat. Frank N Dank
• Jedi Mind Tricks – Omnicron feat. Apathy and Sun Pharaoh

Yeah so right during my recording this episode, I broke into an abandoned church. It was the coolest fucking thing I’ve ever done, no joke.

• Molemen – Full Metal Jacket
• Cannibal Ox – A B-Boy’s Alpha
