BlakRoc is a project with a rock band called The Black Keys and a few different hip hop artists. It looks like Dame Dash is in charge of this project and has the likes of Mos Def and the RZA coming in to record. They are releasing videos weekly of recording sessions, they are really cool and gives an insight into how different people work when they get in the studio.
There is some really cool stuff in this, Mos Def coming in all excited and getting straight down to business, another guy (Jim Jones i think) coming in and just joking and doing his verse. Then the RZA coming in and taking control of everything.
I have to admit, i like the songs i've heard from this so far, great collaborations.0

just heard a bit of juicy gossip, apparently Onyx, that's right, the angry bald guys, are not happy with this project at all.
Onyx (sans Sonny) have been busy recording and investing time and money into a new project of thier own called Black Rock which is due to drop very soon.
Here's the lead single which i have to admit, i'm digging it.
And here's the boyos yapping about it.

the one song that doesnt really fit is the ODB and Luda track, on it's own it's quite good but it doesnt quite tie in with the sound of the rest of the album.
Was just about to post this!! :rolleyes: I thought it was quite a strange opening track for the album because it really gives you no indication what the rest of it is about. Really like the rza and monche track and also Jim Jones verses, very good i thought. Must get round to listening to the 2nd half of the album later on...
Where's the vid with ODB in the studio with them?

He must have slipped a couple of tapes in his pocket on the way out the building
Great album, has great potential for mainstream crossover i think if gets the right push0 -

This didn't actually make the final cut - not on the version i have anyway (am i the only one actually paying for music here?).
Yea, its unreleased vocals from a recording ODB did with Luda back on his rocafella dirt mcgirt days that never got released. anyway, according to Dame Dash he wanted to throw it on there to give ODB some post humus shine, get his name back out there and maybe let his family cash a royalty cheque or too. anyway, Luda and his camp blocked it - Luda wasn't happy with how his vocals sounded or something.
Considering he is generally an asshole (why you think Kanye and Dame are so cool, they assholes!) but he came across as really enthusiastic about the project, sincere and passionate. hopefully if he keeps associating with projeccts of this calibre he can make a come back.
Although maybe thats just because he's broke - he's being very Jay-z friendly recently talking about the beanie sigel thing, stressing how much love he has for Jay etc. Funny, he wasn't been so nice when he set Cam'ron on Jay around the time kingdom come dropped!0
