Video: Al Lindstrom’s 2011 Most Improved Rapper

Al Lindstrom gathered Hip-Hop connoisseurs, Combat Jack, Jayson Rodriguez, Jeff Sledge, Joe La Puma, and Neil Ceaser, for an end-of-the-year debate. Interesting. You’ll have to watch the video to see who won Most Improved Rapper of 2011.

Sidenote: I didn’t get the chance to post Al Lindstrom‘s 2011 Rookie Of The Year debate but if you have a few minutes, watch it. The contenders were Mac Miller, Tyler, The Creator and A$AP Rocky. I completely agree with their choice for the winner.

Video: The Roots – undun (Short Film)

We previously posted four continuous music videos but they all made up this one short film, undun.

undun is the story of this kid who becomes criminal, but he wasn’t born criminal. He’s not the nouveau exotic primitive bug-eyed gunrunner… he’s actually thoughtful and is neither victim nor hero. Just some kid who begins to order his world in a way that makes the most sense to him at a given moment… At the end of the day… isn’t that what we all do? – The Roots

The Roots‘ album, undun, is out in stores now.
