Ice Cube Interview And Internet TV, Dr. Dre Mixtape, Pete Rock New Album, Janet Jackson Vid, Lupe Vs. Rhymefest
Last week we linked you to Ice Cube’s new video for his street single “Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It,” off his upcoming album Raw Footage. Cube makes his point official in this vid and asks us to place blame where blame is really due. Allhiphop.com chops it up with the man himself in an exclusive interview, and uncovers what incited Cube to make this song and video in addition to talking movies, acting, and more. Looks like Ice Cube, along with DJ Pooh, is also getting into the interweb with his brand new online TV Network. Set to be the world’s first real-time streaming television network online, UVNTV.com (U View Network Television) is planning to revolutionize how we watch TV on our computers.
Ok, yes, we stole the update photo from our boy DJ Soul’s blog. It was just such a throw-back gem! Look how skinny Dr. Dre was. Soul hips us to this 1987 Dr. Dre mixtape that mixes over 300 bits and pieces of songs into a 60 minute mega mix. Download Dr Dre’s 86′ In The Mix (No Hiss) for free. While we eagerly await the release of Dre’s newest effort Detox, Soul provides 2 demo’s for The Chronic 2001 to tide us over.
Looks like soul brother #1 is about to hit us over the head with another work of wonder (we hope!). Pete Rock is fixing to drop his latest effort NY’s Finest this February. Watch the EPK vid and see what Kanye, Pharrell, Just Blaze, Tim, and more have to say about PR. Then hit up Mash Comp with <a href=”http://board.okayplayer.com/okp.php?az=show_topic&forum=5&topic_id=1532098&mesg_id=1532098&page=
