The Dude is Back
September 16th, 2008 by Perry
Devin the Dude is releasing a new album called, “Landing Gear,” October 7th, 2008. You might not have heard of him and he’s probably not even in your collection of Limewire music. And that’s your bad. Devin is the man, check this song on YouTube out.
His albums never really did that well commercially but Devin is respected in the underground community and has worked with heavyweights like Snoop, Outkast and DJ Premier.
He’s not for everybody, but if you like the Outkast-type hip hop that has a slower, synthesized beat sound and enjoyed “Doobie Ashtray,” you might want to check out his MySpace page that has a lot of the songs playing from his recently released, “Greatest Hits” album.
The Streets: The Irony of It All
March 20th, 2007 by AlexHere’s a music video that many of you might not have seen from a UK bloke called The Streets.
This track is off his debut album in 2002 and, regardless of whether you dig the music or not, sends a strong message on the current dichotomy created by governments across the world.
While alcohol is heavily consumed and responsible for tens of thousands of deaths each year, it still remains legal with a positive societal stigma. Marijuana, on the other hand, is generally safer than alcohol yet still illegal and constantly associated with negative stigmas.
Even though music artists aren’t necessarily the best people to be taking advice from, The Streets paints himself as someone who can portray both sides of an argument to get his point across.
