It's B-L-U....drop the E
Seriously, if you haven't heard Blu by now, you are missing out! Hands down, my favorite emcee in the longest time ever. Anything and everything that dude touches, I'm sooo down with. Please, do yourself a favor and listen to this cat, like really listen. You won't regret it. Tracks from all over the place, if you want more (and you will) you gotta hunt em down yourself. Here's some help, he has more than 5 separate projects with different production, features, and crazy collabs.

In My Tapedeck, Side 7 (Tokyo Police Club)
When I first got these tracks I was skeptical because I'm normally not a fan of many remixes to songs. I really only downloaded these remixes because I have been on a Tokyo Police Club stint lately while riding the bike....and I needed moree! After giving the remixes a listen, I was completely impressed and happy that they were so well done. Long story short, I just discovered "The Remix Company" also known as RAC (Remix Artists Collective). Sounds like a pretty cool idea, even though I still don't no much about them because their website will not load for me right now. Maybe you will have better luck. Original songs and remixes below.

The Roots Survive Tour Bus Crash
The Roots survived a double-decker tour bust crash Wednesday (Nov. 19) night while driving though Paris.
Just hours ago, Roots member ?uestlove revealed to Okayplayer.com that the bus, complete with full lounge and bathroom on the first level, was flipped upside-down.
The news came just days after the group announced a temporary retirement from touring [click to read].
?uestlove emailed Okayplayer, which he helped co-found, the details of the crash, which he wrote an hour after the crash.
"In reality the crash was all of about 7 seconds," wrote ?uestlove. "...but to do a 360 on the highway and end up ramped up (the van that crashed into ours was UNDER our double decker bus) in the air....is....well...a frigging miracle."
"My first thought was not move a fucking inch," he continued in the e-mail. "I always had fear that we would fall off a cliff while in high mountain traveling like Denver or Switzerland. I couldn't tell where gravity began and ended."
The group was en route to a stop on the Glow in the Dark Tour in Paris, which ?questlove wrote would "be a miracle" if they made.
To conclude the e-mail, The Roots' drummer wrote: "Til then just wanna let everyone know that we are happy to be alive. and not in that tv cliche way....but man......that was divine intervention. we are so grateful for this outcome."
Shittt, maybe someone was trying to tell them not to do the Jimmy Fallon show and to keep touring?? Whatever it was I'm glad that they are alright, I mean, they are only the most important musical influence in my life, being that I'm from Philly and all. Glad you're all ok!
