Miami homey, Parable dropped this new video. Peep the goodness.
Parable continues his ventures on the road as he gears up for an upcoming release with Llamabeats (together forming THINK TANK). Mashed Potatoes is set for October 2010, as he also begins plotting for his upcoming solo EP set for first quarter 2011. The first single, “That Feelin’” tells a story of his introduction into the world of Hip-Hop and how it’s helped him grow, stringing along all the major musical influences in his bountiful career.
Brandon “N2ition” Riley filmed and edited the music video, which was shot in Chicago during a recent tour and follows Parable through the city as it culminates with a heated clash at a show. This single includes a v2.0 remix featuring world famous turntablist, DJ I-Dee.
Common sense tells us that it’s probably not a good idea for a 38 year-old man to start breakdancing in front of 2000 people. Common sense tells us that a 38 year-old man and his overweight 46 year-old friend probably won’t rock the socks off of a couple of thousand people at a hip hop show. Common sense also tells us that once you start getting the crowd crunk, you don’t walk off stage and end the show. On Friday, at Warehouse Live, Common didn’t exercise a lot of…common…sense.
What started out as a long and tedious trek though a countless number of opening acts and a DJ set by Biz Markie ended with Common rocking the audience for an entire 27 minutes. Four songs, a free style with Biz, and a windmill/B-boy stance later we were shown the door and told that the show was over….fucking lame.
West Coast emcee Nipsey Hussle showed us some “Cali” love last Saturday at a listening session, hosted by SF2 Store. The Los Angeles native entered the hip hop community as the first artist signed to Cinematic/Epic Records and featured on XXL Magazine’s 2010 Freshman
Class.
Hater:What was it like working with Snoop Dogg?
Nipsey: Working with Snoop Dogg. A1.Snoop gotta young spirit.
You know what I mean. You think like at a certain age you will lose your swag like
he had the same character when he came back on the scene though. Being in
the studio with him was like— it was great energy.He embraced my whole movement.
The whole form.
Hater: Tell me what do you want for listeners to expect on your
upcoming album.
Nipsey: Listen to expect my truth. Basically. I feel like a lot of artists nowadays just make records for the wrong reasons. I feel like my whole project makes sacrifices and shows the public my truth. Not really focused on the radio records. Not really focused on the care effect. Written just to tell a story. Just wanted to get my point across.
Hater: How does it feel to be the first artist signed on the Cinematic/Epic Records?
Nipsey: Oh, A1. Shout out to Cinematic/Epic gang with John Shapiro. They
took a chance on me. They signed me as the first artist so it feels good.

MIA’s new video is EXTREMELY GRAPHIC, so you’ll probably want to check it out.
Is it about Arizona’s new immigration legislation? Or America’s foreign policy? Or is it just MIA’s way of showing love to South Park? We at Hater think it’s probably the latter, but here’s what the Huffington Post has said about it:
Whether it’s a comment on the absurdity of genocide (of which M.I.A. saw plenty during her early childhood in Sri Lanka) or a challenge to the idea of “other” in Arizona’s immigration law, it is startling even in the context of recent genre-bending music art-films.
