A Music Thread

[Al B. Sure!]

That album did NOT bomb. It hit #7 on the rap album charts and the Black Keys are following it up with a sequel

The Black Keys are keeping their successful career as Blakroc rolling. All the elements are set up to keep releasing albums. The band has its own label, co-owned with Damon Dash. The recordings are by nature quick to produce -- their debut took only 11 days for 11 tracks. And after the success of their first album, finding more collaborators should be a walk in the park. The only question that adds suspense to the making of Blakroc 2 is how they can arrange a lineup of rappers to top their first effort.

Suck it, Asher.

Like I said...

The Black Keys are currently working on another Blakroc album with guests including Chicago-based hip hop duo The Cool Kids, as well as Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y, Jay Electronica, Stalley, and the trance fusion rock band The Disco Biscuits among others.

She has dementia? Maybe that explains the odd comments about Beyonce playing her in Cadillac Records.


The Black Keys have an album they did with a crapload of rappers. Here's the single for Blakroc with Mos Def and Jim Jones.




All the hate Asher has for rap and its his favorite bands that are eager to do even an entire album with rappers.



So Asher, I guess your Black Keys would disagree that rap is crap

Doesn't matter if they disagree. That album bombed, and they never did it again. That should tell you something.

The 72-year-old singer is best known for the 1961 hit "At Last." Court documents show she lives in the Woodcrest area of Riverside County, has been diagnosed with dementia and is undergoing treatment for leukemia.

Here's a mid-90's G. Love and Special Sauce song about Philly and the Sixers... Let you hear some of his rap.

[Al B. Sure!]

Here's one for Slowwhand. That hip hop blues from Philadelphia's own G. Love:



Blues is hardly dead.

Catalog this one in your public libraries! Blues circa 2011.

[Al B. Sure!]

That's an instrumental, MRT. I listened to the full song with lyrics. That dude's Italian accent sounds so freaking weird.

[MRT144]

I did actually try a search on "covers" in forums, but my poly search skillz clearly leave something to be desired.

[Al B. Sure!]

Really, Cort Haus? You couldn't take two seconds and search?
