— Sheefy McFly, on the legacy of Motown, Detroit hip hop and garage rock. Yeah, I feel you about the hand.

Curious about Drake’s eating habits, I did a little research and came across this gem. The Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills — from his “Stay Schemin” verse — doesn’t sell Spaghetti Bolognese, but they do sell “Parpadelle” [sic] Bolognese for $36.
Fucking restaurant managers are so hopelessly stupid at all levels, it’s astonishing. And Drake needs to learn his pasta shapes, or is a very fussy orderer.
important drake/pasta research
It seems to me like he’s bragging about ordering from the kids’ menu.

Royce is getting some mileage out of the “Hi Rihanna” thing. Also, Crooked I goes in.

As always, Nickel has this “rapping about blocking people on Twitter” game locked up.
Dopehead: ”Airbags” (Sept. 2011)
One of the better rap videos I’ve seen lately from a new artist. Also probably the most realistic portrayal of the hood in Detroit in a video … um, maybe ever. (A lot of Danny Brown’s videos from last year are up there, though.)
Mr Muthafukin Exquire on a Sucker Free Countdown episode that I apparently missed. “I will sell out for any amount of money”, here, here Mr. Exquire.
This guy rules. Never thought I’d see him on MTV. Go watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bzoyVKZaL4
I recently conducted an email interview with Doc Waffles about his new EP, “Seizure Suit Farms” (click it, it’s free!). As you’ll see, he’s definitely one of the most unique emcees in all of Detroit. You can catch him performing live with yours truly and many others on Saturday, July 30 at Schoolin’ Y’all: A Hip Hop Benefit to Build a School in Nicaragua.
This’ll be worth seeing, and worth having contributed to if you can afford it … Doc Waffles is the sort of Das Racist-esque (sorry, no better comparison comes to mind) absurdist of Detroit hip hop. Detroit CYDI and Midcoast Most are good, too.

This is for real? Dr. Dre as a little kid on TV
Big Sean: ‘Supa Dupa.’
New remix of a two-year-old mixtape release that’ll be remembered as an influencer if not a classic; Kanye’s G.O.O.D. Music pulled a slick move in beefing up the production and banging out a legit video for this one.
The song’s impact may be a bit diminished since errrryone ripped this rhyme scheme the past couple years (see every Drake song, Rick Ross, Luda et al) but if you haven’t heard, I guarantee it’s still far fresher than anything today’s radio rappers or Wayne’s skeleton crew are putting out.
