Video: “Wallstreet” – After The Smoke [Microwaves]

This was nice! …and an extremely nice video. …First time I’ve heard of After The Smoke.

after-the-smokeThis song (“Wallstreet”) has like a Roots slash Tribe Called Quest feel. But the rap duo’s music in general kinda blends in a lot. …Likes there’s a lot of distorted spacing out like in Kid Cudi‘s music, as well as a few Andre 3000/Outkast-like hooks that go pretty hard.. Overall some pretty dope music that stands out and begs to be listened to.

Posted After The Smoke‘s “Wallstreet”, off their [Microwave] EP, below, …as well as a few other bomb joints of theirs I dug up. Enjoy…

BONUS: …so of the dopeness I found after doing a little research on the Florida rap duo. Not a bad repertoire in the slightest.

This song “Stickup Kids” is too fire! …Posted it below.

KiD CuDi Speaks On Learning From Kanye West & JAY Z

vibe-kid-cudi-

In a Q&A with Music Connection, Kid Cudi speaks on how he learned from working with Kanye & JAY Z:

Kanye and Jay Z: people who stay true to their art, people who stay true to themselves, you know, do things their own way. Like Michael Jackson, you’ll never see another Jay Z and you’ll never see another Kanye, and the reason why is because they are who they are. They’re not emulating anyone. And it’s not that they told me; I was just paying attention. I think that’s why they have me around, because they know I’m watching and I’m learning.

He also says upcoming MOTM III (which will be preceded by a new EP) and what fans can expect:

MOTM 3 will show a whole other level of maturity, and it will answer a whole lot of questions. There’s a lot of missing links between MOTM and MOTM II. I also think that they were both very ignorant albums, so I think I’ll eliminate a lot of that ignorance. will really be answering the biggest question: Have I found happiness? And it will lead people on in life, because there will not be another MOTM after MOTM 3. It will send people off feeling satisfied.

KiD CuDi To Reunite With Plain Pat & Emile For ‘Man On The Moon 3’

cudi-pat-emile

Definitely the right formula that made the original Man On The Moon a future classic. I definitely can’t wait for the 3rd in the series now….especially since, Pat & Emile hopefully won’t let Cudi produce the whole thing a la Indicud. I’m not saying that it was necessarily bad; I definitely want to hear his steadily progressive production on the project as well.

Amanda Bynes Blasts Complex Magazine & (Ex-Boyfriend) KiD CuDi

Did. Not. Know. This.

Anyways, Amanda is going nuts before the public’s very eyes, and Exhibit K is the above video clip, which Complex decided to write about. The below rant is the response to that very article. Get your popcorn.

Complex Mag, Stop acting like I’m doing something wrong. I’m obsessed with myself on twitter. Also, my video last night was perfection. I’m so sick of the articles you write about me. I want every fake article deleted. You’re dick whipped by my ugly ex Kid Cudi who’s looks and talent have always been questionable to me, him being the ugly duckling that he is and all. You quote him non stop, then take professional shots of him for your covers, his best photos aren’t shit compared to mine at my best. The photo you chose of Aubrey for her cover is awful. You make people look bad, stop acting like you know anything about what men like. I don’t stop getting followed or hit on every place I go. I’m not trying to sing, but if I did I got offered an Interscope record deal right after I filmed Hairspray which you might know if you sat down and did a normal interview. I still might take them up on their offer. Get the facts as opposed to talking shit. My music is going to be sicker then whatever the f-ck kind of music Scott tries to do. Stop writing articles without speaking to me first.
