2007 Rap Up, 1st Ever Rap Up Video X Chris Robinson, ?uesto & Gingerlynn In Vegas, Bilal Loses Mind (Video).

Gingerlynn is out in Vegas with Jay-Z, Beyonce, ?uestlove, and gang. She says she’ll post a blog sometime after the show tonight. ?uesto says he will too. And Skillz sent us the “Rap Up” before anyone else but forgot to mention we could post it (we’re good bloggers). Then some personal drama happened and I was off the computer for a few days. So without further adieu… here it is, the “‘07 Rap Up” by Skillz plus a remix by Philadelphia producer James Rose* that Skillz says is a bit more friendly for the underground heads. Following the audio is a YouTube clip of behind the scenes of the first ever official “Rap Up” video directed by none other than Chris Robinson (imdb). The video is said to premiere on Chris’ blog on New Years Eve. We’ll post a link here when it does. The same goes for Act II ;)

Behind the scenes of the Chris Robinson directed “Rap Up” video.

And while we are posting videos. Filthy and Brainchild (aka Filthybrains) linked up to put Brain’s video with ?uesto’s audio from the Holiday Jammy to make this clip of Bilal And The Witness Protection Program covering Zeppelin’s “Since I’ve Been Loving You.” This was not long before I had to tell them to stop filming. Sorry about that fellas.

Here is a video from this year’s Vibe Awards featuring DJ Soul’s acclaimed “Assorted Donuts” mix tape. If you still don’t have this mixtape then WOWWWWWWWW, click here.
