The video is talking about the current situation in the United States and is calling for people to make a change by voting this November for Obama.

Thursday, July 24 – Commodore Ballroom, Vancouver

Pittsburgh, Pa., DJ Gregg Gillis, better known as Girl Talk, brought the party to the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver on Thursday, July 24. The highly-anticipated event was sold out weeks in advance, and it was thanks to our friends over at Sealed with a Kiss that two of us ‘Beez got in.

A long line was formed outside the venue by 10 p.m., and inside, openers Twin Crystals were makin’ a whole lotta racket that the crowd flooding in didn’t seem to be feelin’. I don’t mean to be a hater, but the thrash guitar, almost screamo sounds of Twin Crystals just didn’t seem to be a good lead up to the pop/ hip-hop/ electro vibe of Girl Talk. Luckily, after the band’s question, “So, do you guys want to hear another song?” was met with a significant amount of boos, Twin Crystals left the stage, and a local DJ spun some cool and relaxed reggae beats that got the hipsters out onto the dance floor.

Girl Talk set up promptly. Nothing fancy – just his basic DJ equipment on a single table, and started the show at 11 p.m. The crowd went absolutely wild as he shouted, “What’s up, Vancouver? So glad so many of you came out on a Thursday!” and threw on T.I.’s “What You Know About That.”

The year was 1993/94, hold up, what the fuck? It’s been about 14 -15 years since these cats debut? God damn, I’m gettin’ old. As I was saying the year was ‘93/’94 and the east and west coasts were fully reppin, what appeared to be out of nowhere came this fresh new duo called The Outkast. The group consisted of Dre, now known as Andre 3000, and Big Boi. The duo brought this fresh southern sound that hip hop hadn’t heard at the time and flipped the script. The song featured here is a CLASSIC, “Player’s Ball” came out in ‘93 and shot straight to number 1 on Billboard and eventually went gold. This helped push out their debut album Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, which featured Goodie Mob and production by Organized Noize. My favorite verse that made me go “oooooooooh shit”, mostly cus this is a fuckin’ tongue twister was done by Dre and goes:

“it goes simply ten and i’ll serve you then now we bend the corner in my
cadillac my heart does not go pitty pat for no rat i’m leaning back my
elbows out the windows cold rum and indo fills my body where’s the party
we rode deep we dip to underground see’s a lot of hoes around i spit my
game while waiting count down a five, fo a three two here comes the one
a new year has begun, please folks, spark another one”

New music from Big Boi featuring Andre 3000 and Raekwon, song is called “Royal Flush”. The last time these three hooked up they banged out a pretty hard track “Skew It on the Bar-B” off of the ‘98 album Aquemini.

The second track we have posted is collab between RnB singer Lloyd with Lil’ Wayne for the new track “Girls All Around The World”. This track samples Eric B and Rakim’s classic joint “Paid in Full”. The last time these two got together they dropped the smash single “You” off of Lloyd’s Street Love album.
