Dr Octagon = Great.
MTV = Wankers.

A few days ago I saw this great public service announcement done by Doctor Octagon (aka Kool Keith) about global warming. Trees was quickly removed from YouTube and now is unavailable for me to see on the MTV website due to “copyright issues.” So yeah, whatever.

Clickety-click the video. It’s really well made even though MTV are wankers.

Holy crap, this is nuts. Talib Kweli, a conscious rapper best known for his work in Black Star with Mos Def (but also his albums Quality and The Beautiful Struggle), just joined Second Life.

Go read it on his website. This is nuts. Here’s his island.

Take a couple of seconds and go chill out at the Narcicyst’s new website, Iraq Is The Bomb. If you liked some of the tracks of his I’ve played on the podcast (Commodore 64 comes to mind), this is the place to grab them. Dude’s on his way up.

Damn, I’m not sure how I should title this episode… possibly one of the best hip hop tracks of all time, and say some fairly offensive shit and don’t edit it out.

• Masta Killa - ‘No Said Date’
• Eternia - ‘Family’
• Deltron - ‘3030′

Ok, I’ve got a podcast coming out with this guy’s music, but I seriously couldn’t wait to get you guys in touch with Howard Lloyd, the Brooklyn emcee who just sent me his Quickie EP. Go check out his site and download the stuff there - and I’ve got a new track from him which I’ll assault you guys with in a bit. Now go friend his ass on MySpace. Peace.

These videos from the Chrome Children + Adult Swim collabo are going to be the hottest ever. The animation is incredible and innovative, and the music (first one by J Dilla, RIP) is the bomb. Click the screencaps to check it out.
