Electro | INDIE ELECTRO POP | Atypicals and Breakbot
Posted by BIGLIFE on December 22, 2010
At times our music world seems over run by computer generated sounds that leave little room for raw talent. The purists throw fits while the enthusiasts encourage the growth and development of new sounds, genres, sub-genres, etc. I fall somewhere in the middle, which is why the “Atypicals” piqued my interest. My iTunes library has been long overdue for a new group that utilizes learned instrumental talents to create their works – Ryan Leslie like artists if you will. This Brooklyn based group sports three members who can put on impressive live “band” performances that somehow bring a house dance sound to their speakers. If you’re searching for something refreshingly new, give these guys an ear and be sure to leave your opinion in the comments section of chatbox. For more information check out their Facebook, Twitter or group website.

Hip-Hop | Hip Hop Update

I live through my iPhone so I found the video above particularly amusing (late on this vid too…). Everyone is always telling about the next best thing (see: Sprint, yes SPRINT HTC) and how its a huge improvement on apples little cash crop. You know what I say to that, don’t talk about the birth just show me the baby. And no one ever does…. funny…
Here are some solid Rap/Hip Hop jams. Goone sent us this steaming track “Take Me Away” – if it makes your ears as happy as mine you can find more music and information at his website and twitter. Sorry about the R Kelly track, I couldn’t resist.

Goone – Take Me Away ft. Drew32 — (4.5 Stars)
T-Lanez – Dark Fantasy — (4 Stars)

Hip-Hop, Videos | Ryan Leslie Robbed In Germany
Posted by Juicebox on November 1, 2010
Before I shared these recent tracks with you (none of which have resulted in his laptop being stolen) I thought I’d report on the Ryan Leslie situation. This is bad news for R-Les. I mean, really bad news. Not only does he have his personal information stored on there, he has his over the top videos, unfinished songs, and signature beats as well. Why he doesn’t have these backed up is beyond me. Anyone with a brain would know that the laptop is worth more than $20,000. Try $250,000. Regardless, I feel for Ryan. Over the top or not, nobody deserves that. At least he wasn’t robbed at gunpoint. He would have likely tried to solve some complex algorithm or offer up nude Cassie photos to deflect his aggressor.
