The new Ludacris album would be fucking great if he removed like 3/4s of it and released "Grew Up a Screw Up" as the single instead of that ridiculous Pharrell abortion.

"The October issue of Sister 2 Sister magazine features an article with rapper DMX who claims that his recent child with a Washington, D.C. woman was the product of rape…her raping him, that is."

Poor DMX.

Coaching baseball this week I discovered that the most hummed or whistled song among 12 year-old boys is "Does Your Chain Hang Low."

When I was 13 it was "Bald Headed Hoes."

are you sure it wasn't "do your ears hang low"

― deej.. (deej..), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 13:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Whatever it's called, you know it's based on some old old traditional one...

Oh yeah, Kelefa wrote about it in the NY Times--

Yo, Do Your Ears Hang Low?
By KELEFA SANNEH
Jibbs

It is one of the oldest tunes in the American repertory. In the 19th century it was a minstrel mainstay known, depending on the lyrics, as “Zip Coon” or “Turkey in the Straw.” More recently the same tune has been appropriated for a children’s song (“Do Your Ears Hang Low?”) and for the ice-cream-truck jingle that you may be hearing for a few more weeks. And now, thanks to the St. Louis rapper Jibbs, the old song provides the basis for a new hip-hop hit, “Chain Hang Low” (Geffen), which should still be playing on the radio long after the ice cream trucks have gone into hibernation. He raps — brays really — the verses and a chorus of children sings the refrain (“Do your chain hang low? Do it wobble to the flo’?/Do it shine in the light? Is it platinum? Is it gold?”). Perhaps without meaning to, Jibbs has updated one of the most popular melodies of the blackface era, reprising a song that has been stuck in American heads for a few centuries."

I always heard it as "Do Your Balls Hang Low" when I was a kid.

(alternately Do Your Boobs Hang Low for the gals)

― deej.. (deej..), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 15:23 (seventeen years ago) link

bcuz, you see, if you whistle or hum it, its the same song.

― deej.. (deej..), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 15:23 (seventeen years ago) link

oh ok right. i just assumed that at some point he heard one of them sing the words too.

― Alex in Baltimore (Alex in Baltimore), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 15:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Yea, the boys were singing it too--but several were spending more time whistling it on the field while practicing (the singing occurred off the field).

― curmudgeon (DC Steve), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 16:26 (seventeen years ago) link

this diddy/ceelo/nas/kanye track is a fuckin mess

A.G. - Get Dirty Radio

This drops on October 31st. It's A.G. of DITC. (you know, Showbiz & A.G.) It's got production from Jay Dee (aka J. Dilla); Madlib; Jake One; Oh No; DJ Design; Tommy Tee; Cochese; Showbiz; Lord Finesse; Dabrye.

Of what I've heard of it so far, which is quite a few tracks - it's really great + fresh. Anyone else heard this or anticipating it?

― Harpal (harpal), Thursday, 28 September 2006 00:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Just heard the Snoop Dogg Vato/Candy single. I do like both songs. Wasn't expecting that.

― Harpal (harpal), Thursday, 28 September 2006 00:24 (seventeen years ago) link

xp - didn't know about that. "goodfellas" was pretty great

who's that chick that paul wall did that recent video with?

new jay 'show me' prod by blaze

i hate this!

why sample p.e.??? such a boring mess, kinda like every other shitty attempt at early 90s revival from the last couple years - no momentum, ugly beat, meaningless jay rhymes = trash

― and what (ooo), Friday, 6 October 2006 16:52 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm looking forward to the new Snoop album.

― deej.. (deej..), Friday, 6 October 2006 17:01 (seventeen years ago) link

haha see with "Show Me What You Got" the touchstone for me is "Rump Shaker," not PE. lyrically/vocally it isn't much, but at least he came kinda hard with the first single and let Just get loose with the drums on the outro, better an "Encore" retread than some "Change Clothes" bullshit.

― Alex in Baltimore (Alex in Baltimore), Friday, 6 October 2006 17:20 (seventeen years ago) link

Where can i hear this.

― deej.. (deej..), Friday, 6 October 2006 17:40 (seventeen years ago) link

never mind.

― deej.. (deej..), Friday, 6 October 2006 17:45 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm behind but I want to check the Xzibit and Snoop albums when they drop.

― deej.. (deej..), Wednesday, 18 October 2006 19:06 (seventeen years ago) link

promo spam tells me the xzibit is 'his most personal album yet!'

fuck that

― and what (ooo), Wednesday, 18 October 2006 19:08 (seventeen years ago) link

haha Xzibit has pulled a Cage?

"Pimp this ride"

― deej.. (deej..), Wednesday, 18 October 2006 19:13 (seventeen years ago) link

But anyway I wouldn't take that remark to seriously, I would take it more of an appeal to fans of "Foundation" than fans of not-fun emo rap.

― deej.. (deej..), Wednesday, 18 October 2006 19:14 (seventeen years ago) link

I like Xzibit's single although I haven't properly heard it outside of the context of an overworked radio with earplugs and industrial clatter and such. (I suppose I should d/l it.)

My bad, I guess. I like him, but don't really know all his stuff that well.
