Laidback Luke, usual housey, with minimal sampling:

The Bulls are so badass

Not the players - but the mascots. Barry Anderson (man underneath the Benny the Bull costume) and the Chicago team are facing a lawsuit after a crowd hyping high five resulted in a hyper-extended arm and surgery for one fan. (article)
So the guy is firm high fiver, get off him. Just 2 years ago, the same Barry was charged with misdemeanor battery, and arrested for punching an off-duty officer in the face. Well, kinda. He was intially charged for driving within a parkway, but once foot chased and caught, got off his mini motorcycle and fed the cop some fisted fur. (article)
Poor guy, stuff at home ain't so good either:

Moonwalking on beer covered dancefloors

...just ain't sh*t anymore. Not after this.

Ronson grabs Wale so Dupri reaches for deodorant

I'm eager to witness these collabos bloom.

1st - Mark Ronson's Wale pick-up. The snatch is somethin' else, and couldn't have come at a better time. Ronson's recent fusion of his Allido Records with Interscope will equal maddddd Wale flow all up in everyone's ears. Let's hope he does Wah-lay like he dunn' Amy Winehouse and the Grammy Awards.

Wale - Nike Boots (ft. Lil' Wayne) (zShare)

Mark Ronson ft. Wale - You're All I Need To Get By (zShare)

The debut album is due to drop before the end of the year. Plenty more time to hype the hype.

2nd - Jermaine Dupri and his freshly announced industry Tag-team (pun intended) partner. JD and his Island Def Jam Music Group tied the knot (on April 10th) with Tag Body Spray, parenting a new hip-hop record label, Tag Records. The new label promises 10 times the usual $1 million marketing support for it's still undisclosed signees.

Coolio's back!

...kinda.

Big Dippa'

Although not new (espesh by blog standards), my 2 favourite edits of 20 year young Andy George's hit...

HiJack's version:

A1 Bassline's twist:

Damaged Goods - Yo Righteous (A1 Bassline remix) (zShare)

Some Radio BJs

Soooo 830+ submissions deep and less than a month left in Radiohead's "Nude" remix contest.

The 2nd single (released on March 31st) from "In Rainbows" has been open for editing, and seems everyone is taking a crack at it.

For those unfamiliar with the contest, it flows as follows:
You hit up iTunes Plus and purchase 5 tracks from the original recording (voice, guitar, bass, strings/effects, drums). Upon package buy-age, you receive an access code needed to finish the project via the Logic or GarageBand music production software. Once complete, you upload your version to radioheadremix.com and spam your friends' facebook walls with the voting link.

The current leader is Tdot's (soon to be on tour with M.I.A.) Holy Fuck, with this:

Radiohead - Nude (Holy Fuck remix) (zShare)

Holding the 10th spot is Amplive, a Cali beatmaker that I first got a taste of when in my (heavy) Zion I phase. Sprinkled with vocals by Too $hort, Nudez & MC Zumbi of Zion I, this is his version:

Radiohead - Nude (Amplive remix) (zShare)

Amplive also did a take on Radiohead's "Videotape" a while ago - with a Del The Funky Homosapien facelift.

The French care more about their KitKat

...and their marketing in general.

Shit, look at the intro.
