Thug Thursday

I had no idea what to title this post, but thanks to the lyricism of one Freddie Gibbs, I decided to dub this "Thug Thursday." Because as he says, he's straight thuggin' on this track.

The Hood Internet has covered the xx's "VCR." The xx normally conjures up pensive/depressing thoughts, but throughout the Hood's cover I feel hopeful. Funny how that works.

The Hood Internet – “VCR” featuring Freddie Gibbs, Class Actress & Ninjasonik

"Watch things on VCRs with me and talk about big love.
I think we're superstars,
you say you think we are the best thing,
but you, you just know.
You just do"

The New Clique on the Scene

The ingenious and humorous Chicago-based duo of The Hood Internet is always at it in the twisted webs of the net; serving up hot mash-ups almost weekly. Their appearance at SXSW this year may seal their fate as the next big GirlTalk-esk group. Gasp. I said it. Girltalk needs some stiff competition and these guys are more than up for the challenge.

I know that mash-ups are sometimes over-worked and lacking thoughtful musical consideration… THI pieces together nostalgia with the relatively unknown and it sure is tasty.

Here is one of their latest mixtapes. These are an easy remedy to party tunes/ playlists.… Enjoy their entire archives on their website: www.thehoodinternet.com
