Everyone was describing President Obama’s cool Spotify playlist as a mix. Well, it wasn’t. But it is now.
Obama’s favorite songs… including music from U2, Aretha Franklin, Al Green, Florence & The Machine, No Doubt, Bruce Springsteen, Raphael Saadiq and more… now mixed together Mick Boogie & Terry Urban style.
Las Vegas has a bit of anything you could ever imagine. The big casinos cater to all sorts of lifestyles and fantasies. However, there exists a little bar, downtown on Fremont Street that will satisfy an itch you didn’t even know you had to scratch. Welcome to Insert Coins. Bring your quarters. Stay a while. Engage.
HBO teamed up with Kid Cudi, DJ Green Lantern, Mick Boogie and Broke Mogul (DECON) to create “How to Make it In America: The Mixtape.” The Compilation is hosted by Cudi, featuring chime ins throughout the tape discussing the cast, show and Cudi’s acting aspirations.
The mixtape features a variety of music including Dan Black Symphonies remix with Cudi, Jadakiss, Johnny Ploygon, Phoenix, Lupe Fiasco and more. Listen to the mixtape after the jump.
The line snaking outside the Cabana Club stretches nearly a full block from its starting point of a tatted Asian rocker chic with blue hair at the gate, down past a Harry Potter looking dude in jhorts, and finishes with what looks from here, a Pakistani Jesus complete with robe. This multi-cultural serpent has become a spectacle of its own in a town all too familiar with lines of lost souls outside a club, for this one is bathed in daylight on a Sunday afternoon! It even has a Twitter hashtag (#do-over-line). But don’t fret, for in exchange for your patience, your body will soon be baptized in the spirit-s: Sangria, Soul music, and most likely Somebody else. (RT @waldorules: @do_over EVEN THE SOCIALLY AWKWARD SOUND GUY IN STAR TREK T-SHIRT IS GETTING LAID AFTER THIS ONE!)
If you managed to stay on your feet through the entirety of South By Southwest, the intersection of 4th and Colorado is where you wanted to be on Saturday night. Though the gates didn’t officially open until 8pm, the line for the Red Bull Thre3Style had already stretched around two corners by 6pm. Weary ears desperate for a break from all the week’s rock ‘n’ roll madness were in for a serious treat as DJ-R, DJ M-Squared, Mick Boogie, DJ Qbert, DJ Jazzy Jeff, De La Soul and Z-Trip—with the help of a “supermoon” in the sky and a secret special guest in the wings—were set to move the crowd.
It seemed as though every hip hop fan in Detroit made his or her way down to St. Andrews Hall last night to witness the National Championship of the most talked about emcee battle of the summer —Red Bull EmSee: The Road to 8 Mile. When judges Eminem, Mr. Porter and The Alchemist named 18-year old hometown favorite FowL as the national winner, the crowd of over 1,000 fans went bananas. Hip hop legends Bun B, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and Xhibit were among the VIPs that came out to support.
