start the day off Right w/ the mighty Pharoahe Monch!

I got a back log of records I need to write something about, but I can't stop listening to W.A.R. (We Are Renegades) the new album by the mighty Pharoahe Monch! My favorite song right now is the hip hop gospel underground rap anthem Let My People Go...


don't get all squirmy... I'm not here trying to convince you to buy Pharoahe's album... If you don't already want it (especially after getting a listen to the whole thing on youTube), chances are my slobbering won't change that. Long-time readers already know I gave Pharoahe Rapper and Album of the Year for his work on his last album Desire. Dude just does the kinds of stuff I wanna hear. This song was just the first thing I wanted to listen to this morning, and I figured I wasn't alone in that...
have a great day!

holla!

Pharoahe Monch interview...

The mighty Pharoahe gives a shout-out to Wolverine... speaks on his relationship with hip hop's big names... his producers on the new record... discusses the significance of indie labels in hip hop...


This interviewer is a young dude who is clearly excited to be interviewing Pharoahe, and has followed him and his comments online. It's shaping up to be Pharoahe Monch week or something here at GhettoManga... I am definitely feeling the new record W.A.R. (We Are Renegades), which dropped this week (on my birthday). It really feels like an indie record. Maybe I'll write an actual review later... I gotta catch up on some drawing right now though...
If you haven't already, click here to listen to the whole record free (and legal) via the miracle of youTube, courtesy of Duck Down Records.

holla!

CWR interviews Joell Ortiz, Ill Bill, Chuck D and more!

The fine folks at Conspiracy Worldwide Radio chop it up with an eclectic list of guests this week that includes Ill Bill, the mighty Chuck D and Joell Ortiz of reputable hip hop crew, Slaughterhouse. Joell is especially hot right now... seems like every time I turn around, heads are talking about that cat! Dude got fire in the works with Eminem, Kool G Rap, Pharoahe Monch, and of course his Slaughterhouse brethren. So strap in and take a trip across the pond for some quality hip hop...
[Part 1]

I guess I should mention that they also have TWISTA, SUCIO SMASH, DIABOLIC and GORETEX on too. And since this is the Halloween Special, why not interview a real live (?) Vampire! I'm sorry, WHAT?!? anyways, beyond that they play a nice smattering of the realest hip hop, for those into such!
[Part 2]

Pharoahe Monch talks to D-nice

D-nice's TRUE HIP HOP STORIES returns as D dash sits down with the mighty Pharoahe Monch to talk about OH NO, a classic joint he did with Mos Def and Nate Dogg back in the Rawkus days.

Pharoahe Monch is a perfect example of a famous underground rapper. I mean, my wife knows Nas, she knows Rakim and Public Enemy, she knows Mos Def and Kweli... but her eyes glaze over at the mention of Phraroahe Monch, even though I play his music and talk about him all the time...

Conversely, put on the classic joint Simon Says at any party, and you'll know how many rap heads you have in the place by how many lose their minds when they hear that DUN-DUN-DUN-DUN... just count the hands that go in the air the first time he says 'Throw ya hands to the sky'... hip hop heads SWEAR BY Pharoahe Monch, especially his debut solo record, Internal Affairs.

My wife would prrrobably know who Pharoahe was had he NOT taken eight years to come out with his second solo record, the ghettoManga Award winning smash Desire (which I reviewed in-depth for the first issue of GhettoManga Quarterly). But he did, so he remains obscure. Hopefully, next month's release of his upcoming record WAR (We Are Renegades) will help raise Pharoahe's profile a little, but even if it doesn't, I'm expecting it to be another banger! 

holla!
