@Drake feat. @LilTunechi & @Tyga - The Motto
This track works wonders in clubs right now. Loving the video’s Bay Area love (especially the Amoeba music appearance). Mac Dre shout 56 seconds in (and E-40 appearance) FTW. On a somewhat related note, check Diplo opening his hyphy set at Ruby Skye (!?) a few months ago with the classic Mac Dre track Drake is referencing.

We’ve started a Coachella Primer playlist to get you pumped. Listen and follow along on Spotify!
Uncovered following a Freedom of Information Act request (and, of course, heavily redacted), the 93-page file contains gems galore, such as…
“The detectives have documented, in their case files, that the WTC [Wu-Tang Clan] is heavily involved in the sale of drugs, illegal guns, weapons possession, murder, car jackings, and other types of violent crimes…”
“Once individuals have proved themselves as good and loyal members or associates of theWTC they are offered record contracts to record Rap type music…”
Dirt McGirt’s involvement in at least one shoot-out with the cops, and much, much more…

gotye - “somebody that i used to know”
gotye’s blowing up and his newest album “making mirrors” hasn’t even hit the states yet (amazon.com tells me january 31, 2012). this pretty cool video has 27 million views (about 1000 times more than most of what we post here) and their April 12th SF show is long sold out. good news is that means they’ll more than likely be at coachella so stay tuned
the horrors - “still life”
off the @horrorsofficial new album. makes me feel all cool breakfast club montage scene 80’s-ish.
