flyin' on the g5 g5
for some of u that know me, this fool’s song Leavin’ is a guilty pleasure of mine. check out Jesse McCartney’s take on T-Pain’s Buy U A Drank.
aiight so that last post left me feelin’ kinda soft. but what better way to keep it “Matti” than to post Stay Up (Viagra) —pun intended.
a snippet of 88 Key’s production of Stay Up (Viagra) feat. Kanye West was featured on Yeezy’s Can’t Tell Me Nothin’ Mixtape.
here’s the full track
Saadiq’s new album is droppin’ tomorrow 9/16/08!
before coppin The Way I See It, he’s put it up on his myspace for the world to listen to. he’s put up his whole album, except for the track Let’s Take a Walk, so that u can preview it before buying the whole album, and so you can cop only the specific tracks u want.
here are a few tracks that have caught my ear:
Raphael Saadiq - Just One Kiss feat. Joss Stone
Raphael Saadiq - Never Give You Up feat. Stevie Wonder & CJ
and for the track that’s missing from his myspeez..
Raphael Saadiq - Let’s Take a Walk
i’m diggin the album and its old school feel and basically the whole direction he’s decided to take on this time around.
and is it me, or does Stevie Wonder only appear on Never Give You Up as a harmonicist and not a vocalist?
be sure to check out a clip of Saadiq performing Dance Tonight from his performance at Bimbo’s a few weeks ago.
for more clips check out Justine’s youtube.

FREE SHOW! TOMORROW 10/1: David Banner, Talib Kweli, & Little Brother!
Flow.TV presents:
FREE SHOW called Al Fresco 2008.
Wednesday, October 01, 2008 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM
“The 20th annual fall welcome-back festival for the campus community is sure to be fun, have food, eye-catching entertainment and a lot of useful information for the incoming freshmen. Three of Bay areas big artists will perform at this event.
Talib Kweli
Headliner for the event, Talib Kweli, is one of the best-known and critically, if not commercially, successful rappers in alternative hip hop. The Brooklyn bred rapper’s hard-hitting music has educated and simultaneously entertained many. To make him even bigger, both Jay-Z and 50 Cent, at the peak of their fame, stated Talib Kweli as one of their favorite rappers.
David Banner
On the other hand, David Banner will perform his lyrical craft, roaring tracks and b-boy stance music. While past tracks like the cranked Like a Pimp from his debut and the electro-bouncy Play has helped him build a loyal fan base, the release of The Greatest Story Ever Told has taken him on an even larger scale.
Little Brother
Completing the Line-up is the entertaining duo of Little Brother. Their debut album The Listening (2003) was highly acclaimed, and well received by audiences and critics. The North Carolina group is the brain child of Phonte, Rapper Big Pooh and Producer 9th wonder. The group tours frequently with their official DJ, Flash”
and if this set is anything like the event at The Regency..
“Each of the acts will take the stage backed by heralded 10-Piece live band Rhythm Roots All Stars for unique versions of the songs they have made mainstays.”
Mos Def will be in town around the same time. wouldn’t be surprised if he popped up for tomorrow’s show or the 10/2 show @ the Regency in SF.
see yall there!

so u remember that event we had with Reignforest Collective last month which featured Blu & Mainframe (Johnson & Jonson)? well apparently they lost their Red Baby “Johnny”..
“Blu & MainFrame ’s Johnson&Jonson Album has been widely noticed and talked about around the world as the CD w/ the “Red Baby” on it. Since the birth of the “Red Baby” a.k.a. “Johnny”, the Johnson’s have brought the iconic “Red Baby” everywhere w/ them including trips to the studio, multiple meetings w/ labels, a couple of liquor stores, and their parties to celebrate the release of their critically acclaimed Album.
A couple weeks ago Blu & the Johnson’s performed at 111 Minna, a club in San Francisco, and brought “Johnny” along for additional support. There are several photos from that night that prove that the “Red Baby” truly was in attendance. He was spotted hanging out w/ the homies, a bunch of Filipino girls and 1 white chick dancing to early 90s hip hop. Towards the end of the show MainFrame noticed and screamed on the mic “Yo, Where’s the “Red Baby” Yo” … at 1:43 a.m. the “Red Baby” was announced as a missing person.
Was the “Red Baby” a victim of a kidnapping? Did a another MC or crazed J&J fan snag the baby off stage? Or was this a conspiracy plotted by a group of young Filipino girls to black mail Blu & MainFrame for some shit.
In hoping that the “Red Baby” gets home safe Blu & MainFrame have posted this unreleased MP3 entitled “Baby Don’t Leave Me Now” to help lure any information pertaining to the missing “Red Baby”. If you have any info email 1800JOHNSON@gmail.com.”
Johnson & Jonson - Baby Don’t Leave Me Now
