Colectiv|thoughts, ideas, and random tangents..

Hmm.. was Missle Command played with the Joystick or the Paddle controller?  In any case, check out this video below.  It’s crazy!

A few years ago I went to a concert @ Radio City with a pretty kick ass lineup: The Roots, Mos Def, J*Davey, Erykah Badu and with surprise guests, Slum Village, Dave Chappelle, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Bilal, and Jay-Z. That concert was contained within a few hours. Rock the Bells on the other hand.. is an all day affair! (My feet are killin me right, you don’t even know..) Could Rock the Bells 2008 knock Radio City from the top spot!? You be the judge:

Viewed Lineup: Wale, MURS, Kidz in the Hall, Dead Prez, Immortal Technique, De La Soul, Raekwon & Ghostface, Method Man & Redman, Slick Rick, Keith Murray, DJ Kool, EPMD, Mos Def, Nas, Jay-Z, and A Tribe Called Quest.

Unbelievable.. Hear a version of The Notorious B.I.G.’s classic Ready to Die album before the sample clearances, beat switches, and verse chops. One word describes this album.. DOPE. Take a listen.
