  • Sean Price Stole Christmas

    Happy Holidays from Ecliptic Sight. What makes a holiday even better? We all know it is good music. Well if you have not seen, “How Sean P! Stole Christmas” yet then you are missing out (and if you haven’t picked up his album, “Mic Tyson” then you are pass missing out and need to catch up) because Sean Price has put his spin on a holiday classic. Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas animated cartoon is the topic of choice for Sean Price and Kimson Albert, Animator & Director of the video. Sean Price goes in for the one two punch on the vocals with some of the funniest and grimmest things to say on a Christmas record. Khrysis makes the Grinch his own with a smoothed out sound that makes you nod your head. Kimson Albert provides the slick visuals to add the icing on the cake bringing the whole project together. If you want the song for free go to Duck Down’s website and like their Facebook page.

  • 20 Years of Beat Junkie Sound

    The World Famous Beat Junkies was founded in 1992 so 2012 would mark the groups 20 year anniversary. I can still remember seeing a Beat Junkie battle on VHS or picking up the The World Famous Beat Junkies Volume 1 mixed by DJ Babu on cassette and many others. I have seen them do all the individual and collaborative projects but they always keep the Beat Junkie sound. The documentary, “The Beat Junkies – For The Record” takes us on a road down memory lane. It talks about how the group formed and how the individual members got into the group. Some of the best moments come from watching how the members still have so much support for each other and how they look up to each other. If you love turntablism and want to know more about one of the best groups still doing it, then you owe it to yourself to watch this.

  • The RZA With The Iron Fists

    The RZA has been doing his thing in the music industry for awhile and has championed his craft in that arena. Now he is tackling the movie industry with the same decimating talents and taking the directing hat and lead actor role in his new movie called, “The Man with the Iron Fists”. He is using the all familiar elements from classic and current kung-fu flicks that we grew up with and adding his own twist to his take on the culture. The premise of the movie is laid out by Wikipedia:

    In nineteenth century China, a blacksmith who makes elaborate weapons for a small village, is forced to unite with warriors and assassins to protect the village and defeat a traitor who threatens to destroy them all.

    He has also assembled an all star cast with Russell Crowe, Cung Le, Lucy Liu, Byron Mann, Rick Yune, David Bautista, Jamie Chung, Pam Grier & Jin Au-Yeung. Quentin Tarantino has given his stamp of approval with the “Quentin Tarantin presents…” title and it is written by RZA and Eli Roth. There is no release date yet but I will be in line at the premiere to see this one. Watch the red band trailer below and yes that is RZA punching someone’s eyeball out.

  • Machines That Make Civilization Fun

    The title of Bigg Jus new album, “Machines That Make Civilization Fun” puts a smile on my face because it can be interrupted in so many ways. Well you do not have to wonder what the title means anymore with Culture King sitting down with the King Spitter to explain the album title as well as other things on his mind. He touches on everything from his graffiti, Company Flow, to the way he makes music and more. If you read ESP Music Agenda: Bigg Jus then you know I was looking forward to his release. I picked it up at Mush Records digital store and let me tell you Bigg Jus does not disappoint as always.

  • Video Of The Moment! Part Se7en

    I don’t know if Homeboy Sandman likes every song that I do or it is a stroke of good luck because he keeps releasing videos for my favorite songs off his albums. The latest creation from his album, Chimera is the moving video for the music, “Hold Your Head”. In the music video Homeboy Sandman tries to time travel to transform his life. It doesn’t work out the way he wants but he still holds his head up and delivers a message to his present self to not give up. If you are going through bad times this song is your motivation to stay up.

  • Homeboy Sandman Shows M.A.M.

    This is my favorite joint off Homeboy Sandman’s Subject: Matter EP called, “Mine All Mine”. The beat compliments Homeboy Sandman complex layers of rhymes about his self and his life. The video also takes a personal look at him and his family having fun. Check out the video below and go buy the EP.

  • Video Of The Moment! Part VI

    I don’t know why this is my first post about The Doppelgangaz but I can assure you it won’t be the last. If I were to try to explain them to you it might put you off because they wear cloaks and make dark landscapes with their music. You still there okay good because they make dope music and have put the visuals to one of my favorite tracks off of their album, “Lone Sharks“. Check it out below and stay until the end to see why they are handing out apples. Watch off for the…

  • Saints Row: The Third Gets A Little Cheapy

    You know I like cheap games and I have put over 57 hours into Saints Row: The Third. So how can the two get combined and make me put in more hours, well put some Cheapy D on it. That is right my favorite website for looking up cheap games, CheapAssGamer has gotten the owner of the website Cheapy D into the game as a DLC coming on January 17th. He won an auction to become a playing character in the game. Here is a video showing Cheapy D messing people up and getting burned at the end. Watch until the end to here him say his favorite quote from the 2nd game in the series, hilarious.

  • Video Of The Moment! Part Fifth

    Thanks King Fantastic you have given me another reason to miss the west coast with the video of “Class of ’97 (1979)“. It is just a summer time jam that is perfect to warm you up for the cold winter times we are going into. Troublemaker has injected a soulful beat that will keep your head nodding with Killer Reese One delivering the infectious flow. If you have not done so yet go and get the King Fantastic – Death of Summer EP at KingFantastic.com and if this is your first taste of King Fantastic pick up their debut album, “Finger Snaps and Gun Claps” also and here some Westcoastsynthesizerbeachbumgangstermusic. Okay back to the video so I can reminisce over the beaches of California.

  • Slaughterhouse!!!!

    I have been telling people that Slaughterhouse is about to blow up and I have had a couple of examples to give them. They are four separate artists  Crooked I, Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz and Royce da 5’9″ that have been doing their thing on the solo tip then they performed a song on Joe Budden’s  “Halfway House” which they knew they had a chemistry to form the group. They released their first album, “Slaughterhouse” in 2009 on E1. In 2011 they released an EP called, Slaughterhouse EP, to hold over the fans until they could finish up their Shady Records debut album. They say they are about 75% finish with that album which I know will finally put them on the map. So to display their lyrically ingenuity Eminem, Yelawolf and Slaughterhouse decided to go to the B.E.T. Awards 2011 Hip Hop Cypher and murdered the whole thing. Watch the video below and you will be yelling Slaughterhouse!!!! like Rihanna (you will know what I mean when you watch it).

    This is the unedited explicit version of the Shady Records 2.0 Boys 2011 Cypher. Yelawolf, Slaughterhouse and Eminem over “Tried By 12” provided by DJ Premier. Filmed on location in Detroit, MI, USA.
