Q-Tip "Work It Out" (Disclosure Booty Call Edit)

Q-Tip "Work It Out" (Disclosure Booty Call Edit)

Are you hip to Q-Tip's "Work It Out?" Seems it quite the popular track, but I've been unable to trace its birth. I could dig a bit deeper, but the point is the track's been around the block and there are a gazillion remixes of it. Here are a few:

DJ Booth Version
DJ Topcat Version
Dennis Blaze Version

Enter the 'Disclosure Booty Call Edit.' Obviously the name did not grab my attention. However, my inability to stop the iPad from rolling over to this track gave it some exposure to my ears.

The track is much more uptempo than the others and more akin to actually 'working out.' That is if working out is your thing; it's certainly my thing.

So go ahead hip hoppers and work.it.out. Get it in. kfox.

Where's the Indy/Indie?

For real ... the indy/indie is there ... I just need to throw it up on this here site.

But for now, you'll have to be content w/a good look @ Kevin Michael. I know, I know ... it's more on the mainstream tip and even more R&B. Is it good music? Oh, yeah and does it have a hip hop vibe? True dat. Michael has enlisted the reps of Wyclef and Q-Tip and frankly, Michael brings some authenticity to the game.

So peep it out ... I think you will forgive me for strayin so far from the indy/indie roots.

Hangin in there hip hoppers ... kfox

VH1 Hip Hop Honors - The Back Story

This is old news, but I am just now getting around to recapping (after watching a weeks worth of repeats of the VH1 Hip Hop Honors show).

The short story is the screed that is playing out on the interweb about Lupe Fiasco and A Tribe Called Quest and Q-Tip in particular. Nothing like a little bit o' hip hop drama.

Following this situation is not my strong suit ... So I point you to those who get paid to follow the histronics.
