CONCRETE MAG- GREENLIGHT "Check The Campaign" MiXtApE Feature

"This mixtape was given to me with such excitement…like…”Have you heard that Chris Blake!?” He’s not a typical Memphis rapper. Sure it’s called a mixtape but it’s really more like an independent album release!"

New "Check The Campaign" Mixtape Review

The first mix tape from Chris Blake, entitled “Check The Campaign”, quickly caught my ear from the first track. Chris Blake’s lulling voice over the hype southern tracks at first sounds like an oxymoron, but after the first few bars, Blake blends right in while standing out at the same time. From beginning to end, I didn’t want to even point my finger in the direction of the “next” button on my car radio.

Prince Interview on MJ's "Bad"

I looked at the video with him, James Brown and MJ, then came up on this one. It's funny to hear one of my idols talk like this! LOL

After hearing that, I think this is the look he gave Mike's people:

The Hours "Ali In the Jungle" (NEW Nike Commercial Song)

Nike always comes with some dope songs in their commercials (Remember Saul Williams "List of Demands (Reparations)" . This time they killed it again with "Ali In The Jungle" by The Hours. Check the commercial:



Here's The Hours' video for the song:



This would call for a sample, but I'm pretty sure somebody's doing it already. * Picks up phone and calls Radikalous * BLOW

Steve Rifkind Interview

Shout out to RapRadar for posting these. Liked 'em so much that I had to post myself.

Random Thoughts

I was apart of a conversation with a very notable person last night. Though what he spoke of was unfortunate, I was much appreciative for the information. We tend to forget about those that go through the struggle prior to us, i.e. our predecessors, but in the immortal words of a great philosopher by the name of Richard Pryor, "Ya'll probably forgot, but I'll never forget"

Addicted to Fresh (Rough Draft)

This is going to be the first song off the "Everybody Loves Chris...Season 1" Mixtape. Be on the lookout for the video in a few weeks.

Mannish Younggin List: Amel Larrieux

You may remember her from Groove Theory, but I remember her from my wet dreams back in grade school. Her voice was amazing and she was earthy, yet sexy without ever showing any skin. Had she switched up the game and began showing a little TNA (tits and ass) her fame would have rose, but she remained what she was. And what's even more amazing is that she ended up in my wet dreams without showing any TNA! Salute:



First Solo Album

MALL OF MEMPHIS

The pictures say it all! This Mall was the place to be at one point. The Saturday night routine for younggins age 11-17 was make it to the mall at least 2-3 hours before it closed, walk around, hit the food court (Most of the time you either ate Steak Escape, Chick Fil A, or Sbarro), then hit the movies. The theatre looked like the joint on Last Dragon, but without the balcony! The Mall of Memphis was the only place in the city with an ice rink, but unfortunately, I never got a chance to ice skate. (Like I would really tell you a nigga had ice skates on! C'mon Fam) But anyway,it was shut down Christmas Eve of 2003 and was eventually torn down. See The Pics:




Big shit use to go down at the ice rink.
