Can't get enough of this at the minute. For me, Elzhi is one of the best MCs in rap at the moment and his new ELmatic mixtape - in which he updates Nas' Illmatic in its entirety with new lyrics and live band instrumentation - is probably the finest hip-hop release of the year so far. Love this track in particular, especially when it shifts into the Gap Band's original tune towards the end.
The entire mixtape's available for free from here.
i thought it might make up for that Metallica and Lou Reed racket. i didn't listen to the whole of the Lou Reed and Metallica song; i had to turn it off after a couple of minutes. Also, i think it's cool that Leonard Nimoy was in the Bangles video.

I know there aren’t many people looking at this anymore… but I have made the decision to stop paying for the VR hosting and to let the domain lapse.

I think it will be going offline around the end of May

It’s been almost 10 years since James passed away… and I feel like it’s time.
