I'm home now.

Entertainment Weekly has a track-by-track breakdown of The Roots' forthcoming album, Rising Down. Oxymorons aside, they make it sound like a winner, though it is unfortunate to hear there's a Fall Out Boy collabo on the disc.

Fresh shit via PandaToes: a DJ Hostility remix of Flo-Rida's "Get Low" (zShare). A bit of electronic flavor for all you vocoder fetishists out there.

There's a Cool Kids freestyle from London making its way around the rap-o-sphere (getting crowded in here, isn't it?). I actually haven't even listened to it yet, but the Cool Kids are our darlings. We are blogs. We love the Cool Kids. Respect our taste 'n' shit.

Props to Crate Kings for the pointer to a dope Alchemist interview. Crate Kings might be the only hip-hop blog that actually does anything original. Respect where respect is due.

Judging by this track, I'm going to say that Timbaland fell off (or at least should stick to producing Justin Timberlake tracks), and Flo-Rida is all hype. Like honestly, what the fuck is Timberland doing in this video? ...When you're wearing headphones and laugh out loud at something, you know it's ridiculous.

And since we're looking at On Smash shit, are they for real noting that Swizz Beats is a legendary hip-hop producer? I'm perplexed. Last I checked his best work was with Ruff Ryders circa 1997. I'm not surprised his face doesn't show up in this video.

Honestly, Sound Off is the most ridiculous hip-hop blog ever. See today's topic: Looking for a Soulja Girl?" They also recently reported that Lil Wayne may be ghostwriting some of Dre's Detox. I don't buy it.

Rosenberg's got some nice Dilla and Big L tribtue mixes. 4 discs, to be exact. RIP.

I'm off to bed. And I can tell you that Peter B'S is a shitty bar, no matter what anyone tells you. Also, Midwest haters suckit: the west coast is 60 degrees and earthquake free!

Update: forgot to include this new track, Chicago Falcon, by Wale. Stumbled across it at SOHH. It's alright.
