WordSmith & JPaul Productions: The Lab Volume 1

Download - WordSmith & JPaul Productions The Lab Volume 1

Everyday people come up to me and ask two things: First, "Max, when are Nike and a team of scientists going to finally team up and make the McFly 2015 auto-lacing sneakers from Back to the Future. I usually bring up that I neither work for Nike, nor drive a DeLorean, but that if I wanted to make a wild conjecture without any basis in verifyable fact, "March 5th 2011" seems reasonable. Second, they ask when is the mixtape you worked on with J Paul and WordSmith coming out? The answer to that is right now motherfuckers.

A little background information for those of you that aren't in the know yet. WordSmith & JPaul Productions present The Lab Volume 1 - aka the best hip-hop to come out of Wesleyan University since Santogold left here. The project began when DJ JPaul crash landed his spaceship into a small liberal arts school where he began assembling the greatest crew of MCs and musicians the world has ever known to take over the music industry and save the world's dwindeling polar bear population. The charismatic leader of this group, Josh Smith, a.k.a. WordSmith, is known for his previous work with long time friend / producer Illustrious (who is responsible for four of the beats on the album) and is also known for tearing down the house at Psi U this Saturday with his live Hip-Hop ensemble the Concert G's. WordSmith teams with Stax Rothstein (aka the next Ari Emanuel, bka your girlfiend's favorite rapper) and Ayo Stone (aka Andrew Gladstone, bka the next Martin Scorsese), the three "Kosher Nostra" MCs, along with Lu, Ben Block, and a host of others to take you by the ears on an epic hip-hop journey through space and time. Anyway, I'm not saying this is the dopest Mixtape ever, but it might change your life.

Also check out last year's banging JPaul & Ratatat mixtape Ratatashups and be sure to keep an eye open for a major show announcement soon - be prepared you might need new underwear when that news leaks.

America Withdraws Endorsement of Barack Obama

Following the lead of Kellogg's Food Corporation who recently withdrew their endorsement of Michael Phelps, the United State's Government is withdrawing its support for President Barack Obama. After the election, the above photograph of President Obama smoking a cigarette like a joint surfaced in Time Magazine. The White House Press Corpse were informed today that the U.S. Government does not condone Marijuana use and would be withdrawing their support for the President. When reached for comment President Obama said it was "a lot of bullshit" and that in typical fashion "an African American father who toiled endlessly to obtain the worst service job in the country was being fired because he didn't 'project family values'."

Mic Terror "King of the New School" Trailer

I'm skiing in Vermont right now so I apologize for the lack of recent updates. While I'm having a great time, Vermont is probably the most culturally homogeneous state after Maine and I miss Chicago. So I got pretty excited when I saw this hilarious trailer for Mic Terror's new mixtape.

Mic Terror dropped a fake movie trailer to promote his new mixtape, King of the New School, which is scheduled to drop January 27th. If you've been sleeping on Mic you should really give the dude the benefit of the doubt. Is the high top fade goofy? Yes. Is his cadence unusual at times? Definitely. But these factors all make his rhymes more creative and original. Also the quality of his voice reminds me a little bit of Mos Def which is always a good thing. As we all know, white people love Mos Def. Mic I see you, keep reppin the 'Go. We know you're about to blow up - but for those of you who have been sleeping on Mic T check out the video below of him going in over the "Definition" beat as well as his earlier Mixtape "Terrordome Vol. 2".

Preview: Kanye West and Rhymefest's TV Show - Alligator Boots

Umm Kanye West and Rhymefest apparently decided to act on the desire of Chris Rock's character in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (Chaka Luther King) by taking puppet comedy back from the white man. Only real difference seems to be that Yeezy and Rhymefest are calling their show Alligator Boots not NWP. If you don't get that reference click the first link. If you do, proceed straight to the second clip. No word yet on when this will get picked up by a network.

Asher Roth Joins Count Terrorist Unit

A quick homeland security related update coming at you. It's unusual for CBM to report on developing stories (since we like to be able to present detailed analysis based on facts rather than just spread rumors like many blogs...) but I had to make an exception for this one. Anyway, Asher Roth was on a flight from ATL to LA to perform on Carson Daily's show when an unidentified man assaulted a crew members while claiming to have a bomb. Luckily, Jack Bauer Asher Roth along with several other passengers (“What up Bangley!”) subdued the man. The would be terrorist was later turned over to authorities at L.A.X. This is the FBI press release to the Associated Press. It remains unclear whether this entire story of heroism is acurate or if it is in anyway being spun as a publicity stunt to make Asher look bad ass, but god damn do I hope this one is true.

More on this in the coming days,
