When Twitter Actually Works.... It's Pretty Cool.

2011-06-22T15:14:00.000-04:00

Lately I've been having a love/hate relationship with the popular social networking site Twitter. Mainly because of all the foolishness that people post there after their raging internet courage kicks in. However, last night I was reminded why Twitter is so dope.

What started as a simple conversation between myself and John Gotty (creator of The Smoking Section) about Jon B, turned into a really great, nearly 3 hour conversation about music. Specifically which artists who have sophomore albums that are better than their critically acclaimed debuts.

Now that may seem boring to you, but the quality and expertise of the people involved in the conversation is what made it so cool. Writers, bloggers, DJs, major record label reps and even Just Blaze chimed in with their opinions.

Check out some of the tweets to see what everyone had to say.

Just Blaze: Grammy Award Winning Multi-Platinum Producer and Engineer

Wilt Wallace: Warner Bros. Records Mixshow Promotions Rep

Anthony David: Grammy Nominated Recording Artist

DJ Jaycee: Award Winning Mixtape DJ and Offiical Tour DJ for Ludacris

Al Lindstrom: Music Industry Veteran. Owner/Creator of AlLindstrom.com

Chris Wade: Urban Marketing Specialist

Kevin Durant Listens To Big K.R.I.T.

2011-02-14T16:55:00.000-05:00

In a recent interview with Complex.com, Kevin Durant all-star forward of the NBA's Oklahoma City Thunder franchise was asked what music he listens to and here is what he had to say.

Complex: So you’re up on the new-new. Do you search blogs, or do people hook you up with new stuff?

Kevin Durant: I search the blogs and people hook me up on Twitter. I got a artist as well [Privaledge] that I’ve been trying to help out, and he’s been making music and he’s really starting to take off a little bit, too, so I try to listen to as much new music as possible. Mac Miller, Yelawolf, Kendrick Lamar, Big K.R.I.T.—I listen to guys like that.

Right on...

Dom Kennedy - From The Westside With Love

2011-02-07T20:13:00.002-05:00

Dom Kennedy is a real bright spot in a pretty dull hip-hop landscape. I just re-visited his mixtape "From The Westside With Love" that was released in March of 2010. It's still as fresh now as it was on my first listen. I encourage everyone to give this at least one listen. It's worth it.

Here's an interview with Atlanta hip hop luminary Kilo Ali conducted by the homie Maurice Garland. This type of interview is one of the reasons I fuck with the homie Reese so tough. MGG is one of the few people to recognize and acknowledge Kilo Ali's significance to the Atlanta hip hop landscape.

Aloe Blacc - I Need A Dollar (Live on Jimmy Fallon)

2011-02-02T22:48:00.001-05:00

This performance video is a couple of months old, but that doesn't really matter. Los Angeles based singer/songwriter/MC Aloe Blacc takes the stage on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon with the legendary Roots crew as his accompaniment. I'm catching a mean Bill Withers vibe from this guy, which is totally meant to be a compliment. Watch and enjoy a young man with a very very bright future ahead of him.

Big K.R.I.T. - Of course I want to work with Cee-Lo Green, Andre 3000, Big Boi, Bun-B, Scarface, and 8 Ball and MJG. I want to produce a whole project for 8 Ball and MJG that would be dope.

DJ Wally Sparks – “We’re trying to get 8 Ball and MJG in the studio on some Big KRIT production, for sure.”
