Major Daggering Video
I have to admit that the first time that I saw this style of dance was from my boy Killah Beast (Harlem!) , who labeled it “Jamacians Going Crazy! (unofficial name)”. Major Lazer has brought, “Daggering (official name)” back to my attention with its animated infused wildness.
Artist: Major Lazer
Song: Pon De Floor
Album: Guns Don’t Kill People…Lazers Do
Straight from Skerrit Bwoy (main blonde mohawk guy):
CAUTION: do not try this at home, or in a club, you most likely will get hurt. but this is the new way to dance to reggae music. its called “DAGGERING” and will be premiered to the world by director Eric Wareheim, for the Major Lazer project by Diplo & switch. Look out… it just might be coming to a town near you.

Ecliptic Sight Review: Willie Green – …Of Heroes And Villains
…Of Heroes And Villains by Willie Green opens up to a noble harmony that will capture its audience with smooth and laid back tones for the opening two songs. Just then it takes, “A Turn For The Worse” with a haunting rhythm giving use a glimpse at the darker side of Willie Green. Each new song builds up the constant struggle, “…Of Heroes And Villians” to dizzying and awestruck of musical pleasure. By the time you are at the “Entermission” you don’t understand just how it will all play out. But wait here is “The Twist” to throw you off balance to the normal beatmakers that we are use to. Willie Green delivers us his musical child and if I had to pick one as my favorite kid it would be the, “Final Showdown”. The last two songs on the album have Nasa taking the helm on the first with billy woods closing out the album with perfect delivery. Also proving that the beats are emcee friendly. Willie Green’s …Of Heroes And Villains fluently blends cartoon soundbites with his own intricate instrumentals to give an enjoyable listen.

Office Rap Battle Of The Century
I know the title of this post is dramatic but this video is crazy. College Humor enlist the talents of Freestyle Love Supreme as their interns to do a freestyle battle in the office. Just watch then it will make sense.

New Rakim Available For Purchase
Now is the time to go buy the Rakim single, “Holy Are You”, from Amazon, Itunes, Emusic or other reputable digital outlets. The reason why I am promoting this song so much is because:
- It’s Rakim.
- It’s on his own label.
- The more downloads the more of a demand for his album to drop.
I just bought the song from Amazon and it was more than worth the 99 cents.

Logan Walters’ Wu-Note Project
I found Logan Walters’ Wu-Note Project by accident, searching for images to update my MP3 collection. After seeing the cover for GZA’s Beneath The Surface, I had to find out who was the designer. This lead me to his website13156 page where he had this to say about the project:
“no offense to the original designers, but as iconic as they might be they’re looking pretty dated these days. So, armed with inspiration…book of Blue Note Records covers, I set out to remake all 21.”
So far on his Flickr account, he has 17 out of the 21 covers that he is recreating and will continue to add them there.
