Wackness - Dr Dre Detox

Dr Dre made it seem that he was going to release Detox on 420:

Tbh I don't think Dre is ever going to release this puppy and the two singles that he has released so far have been mediocre. The video/beat for kush were tight but what was up with the feature from akon? Should have brought Devin the dude or Nate Dogg (before he passed away) on the track.

Dr Dre - 2001 was one of the first hardcore hip hop records that I heard and to this day will probably always be one of my favourite albums of all time. I have been waiting 12 years for the sequel I just hope he doesn't disappoint ......

Beatboxing

Beatboxing is a key element of hip hop so here a few beatboxing videos I have seen over the years:

Rahzel("Godfather of Noyze") is one of the original beatboxers and was one of the first to beatbox and sing at the SAME TIME!!

This french guy made some ways with his beatbox performance on french xfactor type thing:

This german kid is pretty tight and tight video

This guy beatboxes and plays the flute....DOPE!

This guy beatboxes and plays the harminoca .... SUPER DOPE!

4 minute hip hop history ..... INSANELY DOPE!

Nothing super new but thought it was cool that he beatboxed some lion king

I have to give props to will smith for his beatboxing

Alchemist

One of the best producers in the game but also a pretty decent MC. He used to be in a crew with scott caan (oceans 11, 12, 13) called the whooliganz.

Check out their video from the early 90s

Check the Alchemist once he grew up with the help of Prodigy, Nina Sky, and Illa Ghee

Evidence Interview

3 part interview with Dilated Peoples front man, Evidence (ex graffiti artist). Really enjoyed the interview format and evidence is an insightful cat so enjoy and he thinks Fash is a top dog and enjoys kebabs so I can't hate on him.
