WYDU Classics May 08
2008-05-22 07:53:00
I realized tonight that I hadn't yet posted up a WYDU Classics
for the month of May. I haven't missed a month for two years, can't start now. I had originally meant to go with some kind of theme similar to last months dis tracks, but I got kind of side tracked in the early part of the month and didn't feel like hammering out some kind of theme and piece together tracks tonight. So what you get

Whattup world? The Clapster is back, it's been a while, the Soul Occs diary didn't work out, there's just too much to do, we got the show with eMC, Torae and Marco Polo coming up on monday and are still recording the album. But that's another thing.
I sat down and did an interview with Inverse

New Artist Spotlight: Donny Goines
2008-05-23 07:20:00
Some artists realize that the internet is an important tool in ones arsenal to get their music heard. It's an important part of the game that you have to have some kind of a exsistence in, no matter what your thoughts are on concerning the world wide web. One such artist has learned how to grab the situation and all of it's perks and run with it. NYC emcee Donny
Goines has his hustle down. He's

After a half year hiatis, we here at WYDU track down your favorite bloggers and ask them seemingly ridiculous questions and pester them until they tell us to either go listen to Gerardo for the rest of our lives or they answer our silly questions just to shut us up.

This Or That.....Ammerikkka's Most Wanted Vs. Death Certificate
2008-05-27 07:29:00
We all have our personal opinions when it comes to hip hop albums. An album I might term "classic", the next man might think is garbage. You can have some heated discussions when it comes to discussing hip hop in general, as my man J-Zone says, three things you don't discuss in public: religion, politics and hip hop. But to me, that is the beauty of it all, discussing hip hop and being a pseudo

Sample Sample volume four
2008-05-29 07:24:00
It’s been some time now since I’ve hit you for the last time with the sample sample series, I took a quick look at the first compilation and wondered why I didn’t include “the funky miracle” since back then this was the first track I was talking about…
So here’s part 4, again including some “obscure” joints and some better known stuff but everything is pretty much classic be it

Spins, Tracks, & Thoughts For The Week
2008-05-30 07:48:00
WYDU just recently went over 500 posts. I was going to do something special for the 500 posts milestone, but in all honesty with some "extracurricular" activities going on in my life and the holiday weekend this past weekend, I spaced it off. I guess I'll save my idea for The Daughter's three year birthday. But looking back at the sheer number of "500 posts", it kind of boggles my mind. Obviously

The lack of Hugo-posts doesn’t really matter though ‘cause Travis and the crew holds it down with quality posts daily. Daily as for real great posts every single day. That’s amazing. That’s knowledge people. WYDU is like the wikipedia for hip hop right now, only with a w

Last Weeks Results
It was actually closer than I anticipated, with Death Certificate taking it with 60% to 40%. As I said, I thought Death Certificate would take it, but it was closer than I thought it would be. The Amerikkka's Most Wanted supporters made a good case, especially WYDU's own Brian and longtime visitor Benovite. As I've mentioned, I love Amerikkka's Most Wanted, and I'd call it a "

The Soul Occs, Live with eMC
2008-06-04 06:00:00
On may 26th, we had our first show together. The legendary first Soul Occs show. We had some technical difficulties in the beginning cause our Torq system wasn't working right, then it didn't work at all. Good that I had a backup, I brought some blank cd's and the guy at the show had a cd turntable, which disgusted me a little, but it was cool. Better than nothing.

Good evening party people. Hopefully everyone had a great weekend. I've been out of town since Friday, so I'm a little behind on returning emails, posts, and a bunch of other things. You'll hear about my weekend probably a little later this weekend (think: used CD shopping trip). I will also have the newest "This Or That" up tomorrow night, I just don't have the energy (or time for that matter)

Last Week
What a battle we had last week between Midnight Marauders and Low End Theory! Both albums swapped spots numerous times throughout the week and neither album got down by more than seven votes or so. In the end, in a decision that was as close as it could be without a tie, Low End Theory won out by one vote 90-89. I honestly expected Midnight Marauders to win it, so it was somewhat of a

Used CD Shopping Trip Part One (June 7th): The Daughter On the Road in Salt Lake City
2008-06-11 20:21:00
I don't hide what I think of Salt Lake
City. I despise the place, plain and simple. It's dirty, there is a strong religious influence, and it's one that I don't necessarily agree with or fit in with very well. A large portion of the city is unfriendly and down right rude. Try driving around "Suck Lake", you will quickly see what I mean. I spent four rather miserable years in the city while I went

The boys over at Metal Lungies did a beat drop this week. If you haven't seen one of their beat drops before, give yourself a quick smack then head on over there. Their beat drops are one of those things I get envious of for not thinking of first. The crew of them get together and pick their favorite beats from a said producer (something that would never work here....) and then sometimes, they
