Criminal Minded Deluxe Box Set - 3xCD

Looks like Mecca and the Soul Brother isn't the only classic album getting super deluxe treatment this month -

What format should Criminal Minded come out in next? In the past couple years, we've seen the single CD, double CD, USB Gun, and picture disc LP in circulation. I don't play around nor do I f around.

My God!

And check out the "Ooooh, Oooohs" below. I never realized Pete Rock was singing in between verses. It all blends together so well. Am I alone on not noticing this until now?

Damn, man…

Tomorrow 09.08.10 - Pabst Raps! Release Party @ Good Life Boston

Leave it to me to give one day notice for a release party I'm involved in. Tomorrow night at the Good Life in Boston is the official Pabst Raps! record release party. This is the premier event to snag a copy of the extremely limited Pabst Raps 7". Come through and celebrate with myself, Nabo Rawk, Paul Foley, Moe Pope, and... well, you get the picture. I'm literally typing the names off the flyer that is directly above this text. See you there!

7L & Esoteric - No Shots

7L & Esoteric's 1212 drops October 12th. It will be their first full length since 2006's A New Dope. Damn, the release party back in '06 seems like a lifetime ago. The first leak from the forthcoming record is titled No Shots, and yes it's an ironic title. The duo goes in on this one, and Eso it speaking on what needs to be said:

"You don't know the pain, Guru passed, we were mourning / Then Travis Barker gets the cover of The Source, and…"



The real question is- how many people will let lines like this go right over their head…

"The fellas say 'ho' and the ladies say 'ow'… sounds like domestic violence"

Enjoy, and don't let it fly right past you!
