Our first show actually recorded in 2009, here is a full hours worth of the Funk Doctor Spock, Green Eyed Bandit, and the Vocabulist-otherwise known as Redman, Erick Sermon and Keith Murray. There is also quite a bit of Parrish Smith on the episode too because he was one half of a group called EPMD.

I was going to include all of the Def Squad as a posse and Erick Sermon solo videos in the Keith Murray post, since he doesn’t have that many, but decided to make this separate post instead.
Actual podcast comes out tomorrow. Enjoy.

Keith Murray is dope. I remember back in the day people would clown his “philosophical, logical, ontorlogical…” flow, but I always thought it was pretty dope. He is definitely an original.
It’s crazy to me that Keith Murray is the one with the biggest rap sheet out of that clique. The old saying goes, “watch out for the little guy, he is the most dangerous one.” I guess that applied to Keith.
Episode 75: Crew of the Hour – Def Squad episode drops tomorrow.
Enjoy.

I made a promise to myself to try to educate myself on music videos this year. So far so good. Here are the videos of one, Reggie Noble. This man needs to have a DVD with all of his videos compiled on it, because he has one of the better bodies of work for a hip hop artist.

That’s an old school pic right there…
What’s good everyone?
We took a week off after the best of 2008 episode so that we could give ourselves some rest after putting out 3 episodes in two weeks, and also to give Nice Rec more time to complete our next episode: Crew of the Hour – Def Squad. We’ll be recording Saturday, and plan to release the episode on Tuesday or Wednesday, as usual.
We’re also going to check out Notorious tomorrow. I initially had very low expectations for this film, but it’s actually getting pretty good reviews. Roger Ebert even gave it 3 out of 4 stars!
In the meantime, check out this interview with DMX from jail. Shout out to Miss Info.

J. Pitts is a man of many different and diverse pursuits. As such, I have decided to give my thoughts on the best of 2008 in topics outside of hip hop (well, except for the music videos below).
Peep game.

Oh yeah, Kevin the Robot is out of commission, so we got our friend Newk to take over in his absence.
