Mike Skinner Not As Lazy As We Thought
1. The Streets, Everything Is Borrowed snippets
Mike Skinner has posted clips from his upcoming album on his MySpace page to prove that he’s actually working on one. [Stereogum]
2. RZA feat. U-God, “You Can’t Stop Me Nowâ€
The Wu-Tang leader remakes the best track on 8 Diagrams with an extended, possibly unnecessary gunshot-enhanced introduction, making us even more excited for his upcoming kung-fu movie. [Nah Right]
3. Flying Lotus feat. Lil Wayne, “Robo-Tussinâ€
If you’ve ever wondered what Wayne’s “A Milli†would sound like if it had been recorded in outer space, Flying Lotus, thankfully, has you covered. [Gorilla vs. Bear]
4. Killer Mike, “I Gotchaâ€
Killer Mike reimagines Joe Tex’s grunty seventies anthem about kissing into one about killing people. Oh, Killer Mike. [Fader]
5. Nellie McKay, “A World Without Love†(Beatles cover)
Lennon and McCartney never made a proper recording of this excellent track, and, sadly, neither has Nellie McKay. [Music Slut]
