The Musik Lounge

Damn... I miss Tuesdays like this. It used to be such a great day for me. I would always know when I needed to get a ride to Fred Myer so I could cop the latest joint. Hopefully you can get out and help fight this recession with the purchase of at least one of the numerous albums hitting shelves today, but if not I won't hold it against you - I won't be coping any (and I really want that BlackOut 2 for banging in the new whip!) until I have a job locked up which could be soon but nothing is guaranteed right? Gotta stay on the grind, keeping my eyes open and get back to hitting the blog with all the hot reviews of some great Hip Hop music. But don't be thinking that's all were about here at The Musik Lounge - I'm an equal opportunity genre offender. I have spent the last several nights falling asleep to Jaberloop's project Check This Out! and I must say I'm glad I finally took their advice and checked it while awake. Not to say that their club brand of Jaz...

So the TML was a little quiet this week. I’m not gonna try and say that I’m real busy and don’t have time… I got time. I got more time than I ever have had since I began doing this thing - almost a year ago that I started? Damn. So whats up with no updates? I just didn’t care this week. Hip Hop wasn’t moving me and as excited as I had been about trying to review American Gangster … Let’s just say it sounds tired. It’ll still come, in due time. For the moment I’m playing country songs on Lia’s radio show and whishing that I didn't need to look for a job while at the same time preparing my resume and getting my hopes up on a job that I probably have about zero chance of getting – but I’ll still give it a shot! Been reading a lot of Wax Poetics lately and not going out. Hell I’ve been reading in general. Even picked up a Sci-Fi book last week and have been reading about ten pages a night. It’s interesting, if not completely understandable. I think I actually had more luck figuring ou...

Another week past and more craziness going down! But before we get into all that I just want to send a big thank you out to Saigon, dude came to town and killed it! Then he spent an afternoon talkin with the people at Seattle Central. This guy is on some real uplifting Hip Hop music and he deserves his props! Now let’s get this thing started. Bun B is coming to town April 4th! Nuemo’s is about to be crackin! He was out here in November or December at the War Room but I couldn’t make it so I’m definitely trying to make it out to this show. RIP Pimp C. I have to once again give respect to hiphopdx.com for dropping another fresh interview. This week they sat down with Olu Dara. That’s right Nasir Jones pops! Check it out here . Any of y’all see the new site that popped up this week www.kingmathers.com ? What do you think? Is Em going to come back and wreck the game? My boy Mike says that him and Dre are back in the lab and Em is on his Slim Shady/Marshall Mathers type ish? Can Eminem ma...
