Hiphop - Your Daily Stop - By Trina

 
Your daily stop for all things Hip hop... rants, raves, funny and useless stuff.

Hiphop - May 2008

I found this video on a dark, dusty evening, trapped in the sleepy halls of the University, and it immediately filled my head with technicolour lights.

Found on Fazed, where it inspired a whole legion of internet denizens to get up and shake their moneymaker.

It's The Sound of Philidelphia, cut to select dance moves from Soul Train, a music variety show that ran from 1971 - 2006. In its heyday, it was a fantastic showcase of the originality of the human spirit, a fine testament to how the human body could express itself.



This just makes me want to dance. And imitate some of the wild moves, like the crazy head-shaking guy, or the man doing the hippity hop.

Even more than that, the women in this video are so alluring, twisted and grooving to a beat. It's sensuality captured from another era, transported into the present to set a whole new generation on fire.

From user rachelrose:

"oh and i just...stumbled on this while looking for a soundclip of that song.
i watched it 5 times in a row and sent it to my mom and medi
best thing i've ever seen. ever. "

Suge Knight gets knocked out

Suge Knight gets knocked out at a nightclub
For years, Suge Knight was hip hop's l'enfant terrible, dangling Vanilla Ice off a balcony, threatening Eazy-E with lead pipes, and driving Tupac to his death.

He brought thuggery to music, the figurehead for a musical genre that was immediately defaced by the media as a cover for guns and gangs. Since then, the gangster image has flourished, and Knight, as he's grown older, has lost prominence.

In the past few years, he's split with his remaining allies and gone broke.

And just recently, a patron at a Los Angeles nightclub knocked Suge out.

As one of the clever commenters says:

"Deebo had it coming. Dude’s Granmomma gave him that chain"

Several weeks ago, I posted an article about 70-year-old Bill Cosby's debut into the rap game.

He's getting a bunch of guests to come out and record some positive hip hop songs, encouraging kids to stay in school, respect their parents and get swallowed by a giant whale. Or something of that magnitude.

I took a look on YouTube and found that there are infinite numbers of Cosby rap compliations, like the infamous Dr. Dre/Cosby mashup:



Is that Bill Cosby? No - it's the audio track from the Simpsons episodes making fun of Bill. Take a look at the related videos: no shortage of music videos for this track.

Hell, I think it's catchy, personally. Pokemon? Pokemon!

Even better is finding this old Eddie Murphy clip of his Bill Cosby impression. It's a little over-the-top, but he hits some gold:




And the pinnacle of bizarre Bill Cosby pop culture is this : The House of Cosbys, a short animation that was so weird that Bill used his lawyers to make them stop.
