Handome boy modeling school


Here is Prince Paul and Dan "the Automator" Nakamura. Also known as Handsome Boy Modeling school. They have earned a piece of my heart ... in fact I'm getting a little choked up about it. Just kidding of course. But this is the type of music that is pretty hard to find, so of course it is my favorite. They are both producers, unique in style and sound. Prince Paul, most known for working with De La Soul and Nakamura for working in the underground scene... right up our ally right? And of course they get automatic Boogie points for rockin the old school nob moustaches, thick rimmed harry potter glasses, and slightly too tight suits.

Im hoping you boogie monsters aren't just about underground rap but all music. If you are, then duuh its my mission to "put you on game". Handsome Boy Modeling School (sheesh that takes long to type) compiles trance sounds with Cat Power (whom I also love to death), Pharrell of N.E.R.D and others as well as hip hop urban sounds with old school vibes like Del the Funky Homosapien as well as collaborating with artists like Jack Johnson. If one where to put all of those artists together it just sounds a little off yet supremely dope right? Which is why I basically love them. My favorite is off the "White People" album entitled "I've been thinking" featuring Cat power with the trance-like presence of her voice.

TOP ABLUM OF 2008!!


Abso-freaking-lutely my number one album of 2008! To be perfectly honest, I was slightly disappointed with Hip Hop this year. Then when I discovered Common was coming back I expected another plain old Common album. One that wouldn't dissappoint lyrically but.. after awile i'd get tired of it... But, to honor one of the truest in the game, I went and "copped" this new one.. and was BLOWN THE HE** AWAAAYYY.
Universal Mind Control (UMC) is by far the best Common album yet. Completely true to his own style yet he brought the dopeness of the Neptunes into his beats, Cee-lo of Gnarls Barkley, Kanye West and, of course, Pharrells vocals on lots of the tracks. He came unexpectedly creative and diverse on this. He incorporates electrical sounds and futuristic type beats and mixed it in with his own lyrical genius and currently has me "slappin" the entire album non-stop. You know when an album is good when you are ready to cry when u find out u listened to the whole thing and no more new songs are left. Ok, perhaps I'm the dramatic one, but when somethings good u dont want it to end. My Current Top tracks on UMC are "Sex 4 Sugar", "UMC", "Make My Day", and "Punch Drunk Love".... Welp I pretty much named half the album right? That alone explains it all. Go Get a few copies.. yes I did say a few. CHRISTMAS IS COMING!

So ... Black Milk. He is the epitome of what underground Hip Hop truley is. You say Hip Hop is dead.. it just means you just aren't looking hard enough. Everything about his music from his lyrics to his dope creative style in his beats and productions shows that Hip Hop is just a hidden masterpiece meant only for the people who are dedicated to the art. Underground is about staying true to your craft. Not saying "yo i got money now, i'll create a bullsh*t album every year now just to get more." Black Milk is the truth. If you are looking to sample or dig into some new sounds you may have been missing in the hip hop game check out his albums: "Sound of the City" "Popular Demand" and "Tronic". My favorite has to be his Tronic album. Everything in that album just slaps so hard it makes u feel like u just pissed off ya mama. Dopest tracks on the album is "Try" "Losing Out" and "Give the Drummer Some." If you like what you hear once you get ahold of his albums, also check out Elzhi. They both present the talent most mainstream hip hop artists lack.
