Old School Cut Of The Week::Grandmaster Flash::Rated Fresh
Arguably one of the best Hip-Hop songs ever written. Its one of the first dongs with lyrical content, and one of the 1st to depict urban decay. (plus check out the gear they rocked live! lol) The video is from 1983...There was Disco. Then there was this!

Kido Getting interviewed by The.LifeFiles
Its obvious dude is making a point to stay on his humble. Good stuff tho, we could use a lil of that in an artist nowadays.
On another note, in a recent convo with Sapphire I was asked if there could be another genre to emerge after Hip-Hop. The point was made that it would have to have a poignant cultural backdrop like people who were too poor or young to get into Discotheques like Studio 54 and *5 Percenters* were for Hip-Hop (do your homework if you dont know this) . . .
My answer was artists like CuDi, Drake. They represent the Godfathers of another sub genre at the least. It will be personable music that include vulnerability, swagger, and women in a way unseen before. I feel like Weezy and Yeezy are like the KRS-Ones with the auto-tuned, emotion-filled melodic rap if you will. CuDi and Drizzy are the next level, like the Pac and Big of the new shit.
Either way, its dope. And heres an chillin ass interview with the Cudder himself. . . . .

Taz Arnold On Ti$a Vision - Mission Statement (very Good)
This is one of the flyest (the flyest in my opinion) most avant garde individuals of our time. He has been in the game for a minute, has done work for MCM (who rivaled LV for luggage in the 80's), and is now spearheading his own movement--Ti$a Vision.
Check it.
Stay Fresh,
