As I give my creaking knuckles calisthenics, I'm reminded of how great 2013 was for music. There were a lot of great releases, and I think that a few of my selections might shock a few people this year, but it's necessary to give credit where it's due. Leave your comments in the C-Section below, and let me know how you feel.

Review: DOOM, Born Like This
Posted in Music Reviews, Reviews with tags Born Like This, doom, Ghostface Killah, J Dilla, Jake One, MF Doom, Raekwon, Thom Yorke on Tuesday, April 7, 2009 by Tim Althaus
As if MF Doom (sorry DOOM) had to make it any more confusing, he added yet another moniker to the seemingly endless list of names. Born Like This is his first outing under the alias known as DOOM (yes, it has to be ALL CAPS). It's always been hard for me to put a term on how I feel about MF Doom's music, it's great, but I just don't know where I sit with it. If there's one thing for sure, he never fails in making me laugh my ass of. DOOM is one of the funniest and quirkiest emcees I've ever heard, I love the way that he rhymes and the things he spits about.
With the information above being said lets start by saying that the production on this album is nothing short of amazing. With the majority of production being handled by DOOM himself (DOOM has always been a great fucking producer), the rest of the production is handled by Jake One, J Dilla & Thom Yorke (only on the iTunes purchase) . By the names already mentioned, you should have a pretty good idea that the beats on this album are going to be pretty close to off the charts. Continue reading →
Ghostface and Doom team up for new GTA
Posted in Audio, Downloads, Music News with tags chinatown wars, doom, download, Ghostface Killah, grand theft auto, MF Doom, mp3, soundtrack on Sunday, March 15, 2009 by Erik Burg
The theme track for the new Grand Theft Auto game, coming out March 17th for the Nintendo DS, features two hip-hop heavyweights. Ghostface Killah and Doom tag-team this Oh No produced track, once again showing why the GTA series leads the gaming industry in its soundtracks and original music. Titled "Chinatown Wars", the track has a bit of a far eastern feel to the production and beat throughout the track, obviously tailored to fit the game. The two rappers switch off verses, with Ghostface starting and Doom really steals the show with his first verse, just as the song really settles into it's own. It's certainly worth checking out, the game and the song of course. Enjoy!

The Hood Internet with another stellar mash-up
Posted in Audio, Downloads with tags animal collective, beirut, download, Ghostface Killah, hood internet, mash up, mp3, paper trail gangstaz, remix on Tuesday, March 3, 2009 by Erik Burg
They just keep coming, whether it's individual tracks or entire mixtapes, the Hood Internet impress me every time they come out with new material. This time it's all-time great Ghostface Killah and Beirut getting all jammed up together. Half the track comes from new Beirut material as well, otherwise known as Real People Holland, which is kind of cool. Ghostface sound slightly ridiculous over the top at first, but I've really come to like this song on my second listen. Check it out for yourself and see what you think, and if you enjoy there is TONS of other material out there from the Hood Internet as well.

Audio: N.A.S.A. – "The Mayor" featuring The Cool Kids, Ghostface Killah, Scarface, and DJ AM
Posted in Downloads with tags DJ AM, Ghostface Killah, mp3, N.A.S.A., Scareface, Spirit of Apollo, Squeak E. Clean, The Cool Kids on Wednesday, January 28, 2009 by Erik Burg
While more and more material from North America South America, better known as N.A.S.A, leaks out I get more an more anxious to listen to the whole disc front to back. The beyond ambitious group is making noise amongst all crowds with prior leaks featuring Lil Wayne and another featuring Chuck D, not to mention tracks that feature Tom Waits and Karen O.
This track though comes close to being the best leak thus far. "The Mayor" is a track that bangs from front to back, reminding listeners of what rap and hip-hop infused can really result in. The collaborative effort is astonishing considering the amount of talent on one track. I've gotta say that Ghostface takes the cake and really makes the track, which is somewhat disappointing for high my hopes were for the Cool Kids on this album.
Give a listen for sure though, and be sure to check out the album release February 17th on Squeak E. Clean records

Download: 36 Deadly Darts, The Ghostface Doll Mix CD (Mixed by DJ Rhettmatic)
Posted in Downloads with tags DJ Rhettmatic, Ghostface Doll, Ghostface Killah, Hip-Hop, Wu-Tang Clan on Tuesday, December 30, 2008 by Tim Althaus
What can I say about Tony Starks (AKA Ghostface Killah)? The guy has it all, he's one of the greatest rappers in the history of the game, he is part of one of the most highly influential collectives in Hip-Hop history and now he has his own doll. Rhettmatic was nice enough to release this mix entitled 36 Deadly Darts: The Ghostface Doll Mix CD which has some of the classics that you have come to love by Ghost. These mix tapes were originally sold on the road with Rhettmatic (with an initial press of 1,000) and now they are being given away with the purchase of the Ghost doll.
You can go over to 4CAST Limited and buy the doll for a mere $299.99. Many of you may be thinking, "Why the fuck would I pay three hundred dollars for a doll?" It's because this doll is made with the finest quality materials. Ghost's chain and wristband are made out of pure 14kt gold. They truly saved the best for last, this doll has a built in voice unit that has Ghost himself delivering classic lines. The voice byte titles: "I put it in em shot up in em deadly venom", "Ghostface, ghostface", "Remember when i longed dicked you and broke your ovary", "Yo bitch i fucked your friend ya you stank ho". This promises to be a must have for any die hard Wu-Tang or Ghostface Killah fan.
