Interesting. I'm wondering if it also has its roots in Jocko Henderson-type dj patter and prison toasting/playing the dozens.

Speaking of The Outfit, I caught it for the third time recently- I'm amazed at how well its aged. Story, characters, action and the milieu it describes really quietly blows me away. Maybe top 3 of 70s american actioners, tough, lean, to the point.

Wow, I almost never visit this forum but upon seeing this thread I was like, :ohsh: It's always tough for me to narrow down a favorite live version (but definitely not impossible) since he was always a fantastic interpreter, or re-interpreter of his own tunes. Never wanted to perform anything the sa...

On a Kankick kick, looking for: Untamed Chambers - Heard the Method Man remix which is pretty sloppy and overall Kan imo doesn't have much of a feel for remixing but sometimes the results are interesting. Curious to hear if any of the other tracks are better. http://www.discogs.com/Kankick-Untamed-C...

On it. You know how I do, Tibbs.

Jankaman you truly are the king of kings.

Listened to all three albums, the first is actually better than I remembered, the most recent one's pretty good too. Thanks Janka and keep them rare rips coming!

That Paul C. mix has me very very intrigued, shall we say

Nice one, JankZ. Global Phlowtations were featured in URB's Next 100 issue from Mar/Apr. 98. The lineup as listed in the magazine is Zagu, Adlyb, Sach, Mikah 9, Okito, Ricansun, Amiuswi, Nairb, Dillo, Shakeesha and Ordinary People; all these cats are Good Life/Project Blowed vets. I haven't listened...

Dude totally stood out in his field, props. If anyone has the December 1994 Rap Pages (LA Underground on the cover- Ganjah K, E-Rule, Ras Kass, SIN, Aceyalone), Matt Doo did the illustration at the back for Ras' Remain AnonymouS lyrics. Of course, I have the issue except for that page. Figures. I re...

Definitely fux wit Red Rock West. John Dahl directed two other movies centering on toxic femme fatales- Kill Me Again and The Last Seduction, both worth checking out but neither of which I like as much. Would def recommend bumping A Hell Of A Woman to the top of that list, might be my favorite by JT...

Ah man, this is the shit.

You and me both. Missed Trapped last Friday, was set to see it tonite but not anymore

Yo fellas, the last part of this show is one of the Steve/nobs rips. It was a major find bc the Fugees appearance was totally forgotten, overshadowed by Nas, Big L and Stretch's beat. Also because Bob misremembered in the Ego Trip book that Lauryn wasn't there (she was of course). I have it somewher...

Haha, some critic put Misty Beethoven on his Top 10 all-time Sight & Sound list, so you may want to check it out anyway. But then this dude also put Salo on top. Gonna check out Camille.

"Legit porn" is unchartered waters for me but I've heard of Metzger's rep as a true auteur in any genre. Eventually want to get to his stuff, only saw a cable-friendly version of The Punishment of Anne as a horny teen. Coincidentally a repertory here will be showing a "Porn Noir" program: http://ant...

Cool, thanks. Keith interviews are always gold, endless amount of quotables.

The only thing is that the "rare performance footage" is just one recent show in Delaware

Always dug this and Dr. Katz. Something inherently funny about Squigglevision and H. Jon Benjamin's voice. The lesser comics were 10x funnier on Katz.

If you follow the intent of the sculptor who chose the presidents, in which one criterion was a role in "expanding (US) territory" (wiki) then this is a good short list.

The Roots - Mellow My Man good pick, best Roots track imo. wish they'd done more stuff like this, in that kind of melodic live jazz style. After DYWM?! they kind of lost that jazzy element I have to take it back. I forgot Mellow My Man was actually a single. But yeah, their post-DYWM r&b vibe was c...

Nice picks, Wicked

LONS - What the Pinocchio's Theory
OC- Constables
The Roots - Mellow My Man
Pete/CL- All the Places
3rd Bass - Come In
Heavy D - Yes Y'All
BDP - Ruff Ruff
Black Sheep - a bunch from Non-Fiction, I dig Freak Y'All
Positive K - It's All Over

Holy shit, wasn't even aware Beyond Outrage already had a run here in NY. Outrage I was cool but didn't have much real spark to it. Wanna cop Beyond to see if it has more of Kitano's personality or if it's just more of the same

Nice article. Felt the same way Hager felt when I first saw it. Sure, the story/script is laughable but for every thing they got wrong they still retained a lot of authenticity, you can't get that level of participation from the legends in one movie.

But he's gotta be kidding about Boyz N The Hood

Anyone see Hemingway & Gellhorn? I read it was allegedly as good as a theatrical movie. After seeing a random 10 minutes wasn't sure if it was worth getting into.

Third on the by-director search, sometimes by-actor

Also agree on the potential gargantuanity of the task, cheers to you. Dan's picks aren't shabby at all. Will have to ponder for a minute..

Cheers!
