clipse - play cloths mixtape (2008)

clipse and complex (which is a great magazine) have teamed up to bring you the newest mixtape (sans re-up gang) play cloths. this coincides with the release of their clothing line of the same name, which you can find up on the web somewhere. i'm too lazy to look. for now, head over to complex and download that shit. road to "till the casket drops" in 09.

concert review: fun fun fun fest 2008

did a write-up of the festival. setlists from atmosphere and recover are in the comments. hit up the minus the bear and clipse posts for their's. recover, clipse and atmosphere were my personal highlights. recover wasn't a part of the actual festival, but the dudes ripped it like it was 2002.

video: clipse - live at fun fun fun fest (2008)

i got the chance to see clipse (who brought the re-up gang with em) this past weekend in austin for fun fun fun fest and dudes were absolutely nuts. definitely regret the fact that i didn't get into them much much much much much sooner. i got the videos of them doing "wamp wamp," "mr. me too," "keys open doors," and their verses from "what happened to that boy," so have fun scrolling through this epic video post. setlist is in the comments, too.

keys open doors:



mr. me too:




wamp wamp:



what happened to that boy?:



enjoy. audio is pretty solid. video can get a little sketchy, but it was an outdoor show at night.

fun fun fun fest - austin, tx (2008)

headed to fun fun fun this weekend at austin's other big festival besides ACL and SXSW. on my personal agenda:

-clipse
-atmosphere (sorry, panda)
-minus the bear (interview coming soon)
-the toxic avenger (interview coming soon)
-dj z-trip
-rival schools (wtf)
-and you will know us by the trail of dead
-the octopus project
-islands
-annuals

also, a surprise twist to the weekend: recover is playing a show in austin this weekend for $5, so it looks i'll be scraping up the cash to hit that up. shenanigans shall ensue, drinks shall be consumed, and fun shall be had. expect reports, interviews, and whatever other shit in the next two weeks or so.

clipse - hell hath no fury (2006)

everyone has their shortcomings, and my biggest shortcoming in recent memory is not giving clipse a proper listen. i know, all hip-hop fans out there have either self-destructed or have bought plane tickets to houston to come shank me. however, i have been enlightened, and it's better late than never, amirite?!

clipse are the true saviors and the future of lyrical hip-hop. after sitting on youtube and watching countless videos catching up on what i've missed, i've found that there are huge things in store for clipse and the re-up gang in 08, including new albums.

anyway, if you are a total failure like me and haven't let this album wreak havoc on your brain, then do so immediately.
