MP3 Blog Watch

Blogger is back! Let me post something before it drops out again.

Check out your boy El Q The GR8's Yahoo LaunchCast radio stream. I haven't checked it myself in a minute, but I recently re-discovered it. Everything from hip-hop to classic rock is in here, so only the open minded need listen. Feel free to rate songs and artists and such...but just now that I am watching you! (Please believe it!) I suggest you play this at high decibels, preferably in a residential (or work) area!

I posted this on BlogCritics while waiting for the Blogger.com crew to stop playing Grand Theft Auto long enough to notice they were becoming the subject of millions on internet jokes. (For the record, I don't think Blogger sucks..even with the bugs)

As blogs continue to evolve, some focus their energy on highlighting MP3s. In their April 2005 issue, Blender magazine has a bit in their "Digital Music Guide" section called "Audioblogs". They ran down some of the blogs out right now who brave the waters and give up unauthorized MP3s. I have listed some of them again here, as well as a few that didn't get mentioned. I will try to make this a regular post here at BC if people seem to dig it.



Don't walk------->>>>>run to Tofu Hut and download Memphis Minne's "Dirty Mother For You" and Ruth Brown's "Mama He Treats Your Daughter Mean". (Shout out to my baby momma's momma.)

No Frontin' Just Music has Slim Thug, Mike Jones, and Paul Wall - "Still Tippin' (Diplo Remix)", Biggie Smalls-"Real Niggaz" unreleased version and Nas’ "Doorags among others.

Holla at a scholar!
