Asamov: Supa Dynamite 11/8/2009

In case you were thinking that Jay-Z's awful new single Empire State of Mind is ripping off Asamov's Supa Dynamite you'd be correct. But em *technically* not, because they both sampled and sped up The Moments' Love on a Two-Way Street. To Jay-Z's credit, his producers obviously did go back to the source material, because they're using more of it than Asamov did.

Asamov's song is 1,000 times better, but they didn't sell any records probably because they're from Jacksonville, and then they got sued by the estate of Isaac Asamov, and now they're gone.

Magic moment #1: Mr. Lif's rap (you're six strokes on par four)
Magic moment #2: Giving a shoutout to everything in the world
Magic moment #3: No Alicia Keys

Rjd2's 2003 album The Horror is great. I'm not loving the new album though ("The Third Hand"). Also, it's worth mentioning that his site is pretty rad.

The Cool Kids: Black Mags 9/15/2008

This song makes me wish I had a bike. (Also that I lived in a city where you could pedal slowly down the street without getting run over by a taxi.) If there were a Modes of Transport Mix, this would definitely be on it.
