So Mac Miller released his debut album title, Blue Slide Park, today in a 5 minute video called "BubbleGum!" on YouTube, which was supposed to be some sad attempt at promotional hype. Regardless, this video only furthers the question I am forced to ask myself every time his name is uttered: Why is someone so talented so fucking burnt in real life?! Furthermore how can someone who is so charismatic and charming behind a microphone be so unappealing in front of a camera. I mean seriously? I think he would be better of at this point if he had never released any videos of himself at all. Every time I see him in front of a camera, it just becomes more apparent that I in no way shape or form have any desire to listen to anything he has to say. In every interview, music video or promo, I have seen him in, everything about him from the way he dresses, to the way he speaks to that stupid thumbs up movement he always talks about seems forced, calculated, unnatural and in no way resembles any little bit of swag. In fact he looks like a mentally challenged person who cant handle there weed in this video. But when it comes down to it he has a sponsored mixtape on datpiff, and I don't. Look at the video and see for yourself (Sorry he is too obnoxious in it. I refuse to embed it in my site so here's the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vu-1CkITrL0&feature=player_embedded)
The Surprisingly Sublime Suburban kids from Boston.
David von Mering and Carter Schultz A.E.R.- The Reach
Presenting a nice little gig out of Wayland, Mass, A.E.R., made up of David von Mering and Carter Schultz, has a nice sound and fresh flows on the recently dropped album The Reach, which is leaving me reminiscent of a more developed version of Matisyahu and Slightly Stoopid's rhythms. Hailing from the East Coast, I am impressed with this young band's ability to not only mimick the predominantly West Coast sound, but also improve upon the status quo that has become the rap-rock/reggae paradigm. Bringing a downtempo and ecclectic feel to the beat while remaining aesthetically appealing to a mainstrem listener, A.E.R. has a product here that is pitched in tune to sell. A.E.R.- "Come & Go"
Chris Webby Chris Webby- The Underclassmen, Best in The Burbs, Webster's Laboratory, (Anything You Can Get Your Hands on)
I mean good Mixtape, but your 21 dude, not exactly an underclassmen
The Webster is definitely become a significant point on several people's maps, and is fixed set ready to blow. The release of his new Mixtape "The UnderClassmen" reminds me also how much I loved "Webster's Labratory" as well. Never before have I heard of an unsigned artist overloading Dat Piff's servers with consecutive mixtapes. I've been waiting to post on him for quite some time now, the newest Mixtape featuring the track I Need a Dolla ( feat Mac Miller), which was featured on Joints and Cheese early last month, now finally gives me reason to bring all forth. Webby and the whole crew drop the hammer on the scene with every beat, rhyme, and verse. Now messing with greats like DJ Ill Will, DJ Rockstar, Freeway, Gorilla Zoe, and Mac Miller, the News in Norwalk reads: "Connecticut Finally Has Something to Brag About!"
Chris Webby- "Raising the Bar"

I dont really have anything to say about this video or artist other than that he really doesn't rap good and it really doesn't matter. He kinda reminds me of Zef from Die Antwoord mashed with Asher Roth except I dont want to smoke as much meth and it doesn't suck. "I'm blacked out sleep walking on a quest for god in my friends apartment."
First off, here at J&C we don't discriminate against non-white pandas. In fact most Panda's are not white, but rather, multi-racial. Regardless, here is a fresh slice of life from one of my favorite mash-up artists, White Panda. This particular song is called shooting superstars and is a throwback to Eminem's Superman and new age electronic. White Panda's interpretation of Eminem's Superman is so fresh and unique that not even Lois Lane would recognize it.
So instead of writing new HTML everyday to break the best new songs everyday, in the playlist tab, we have decided to outsource to our hypem. This way we can spend more time listening to new music and less time sucking the proverbial daily dick, that is writing code. This should lead provide for a better viewer experience. Here is the link HypeMachine Profile We will continue to do things as always in the home tab, just switching it up in terms of playlist, now you will be able to access all the songs we add to the site in a playlist fashion. Enjoy and use this to keep updated on the best electro, hip, hop, house, dubstep, down tempo, indie, and classics.
Don Jabriel Over and Out
"You gotta understand what was happening in the world at the time. You Got Reagan in the White House, MTV, The Berlin Wall was coming down; we're like shut up man we just wanna jump!"
Quite possibly the most encapsulatingly humourous piece of spoof, ever witnessed, by your faithful narrator, Pool Jumpers deserves a view from all. Enjoy!

Sweaty palms, a racing heartbeat, and dilating pupils. No, this wasn't the result of snorting a mountain of cocaine, but rather a justifiable reaction to being one day closer to the opening of John Favreu's Cowboys and Aliens. I imagine that John felt the same way when he conjured up the groundbreaking premise for his movie. He has teamed up with Harrison Ford, Daniel Craig, and Olivia Wilde to create an unprecedented symbiotic union between western, thriller, and sci-fi genres. At first glance one may be fooled into thinking that Cowboys and Aliens is merely Hollywood going to far, but in reality it is the perfect creation and brainchild of one of the industry's most accomplished directors/producers/actors/writers in Hollywood. In the same way that John Favreu refuses to be confined to one profession, Cowboys and Aliens also refuses to be contained by one genre. I was blown away at how bold the premise was. Its raw, in your face, like a bad cold sore and basically says Fuck You to traditional summer blockbuster movies and blows the lid of the entire industry.
Yeah, Apparently Tits Were Sweet Back Then Too
And what would a summer blockbuster be without a full blown hottie/damsel in distress. With Olivia Wilde's unearthly good looks one would think that she was an Alien herself...but lets hope not. I fully expect the film to keep me planted in my seat, clenching my $8.50 soda, and continually having to remind myself that I am in-fact experiencing a fusion of two cinematic subcultures that have been masterfully intertwined. Although we probably know that if Aliens did attack the western US in 1873 we would be totally fucked, No, thats an understatement, we would experience the total annihilation of our planet and race or get anally probed. The fact that we will undoubtedly see the Aliens succumb to the cowboys merely so that impressionable viewers like little Timmy don't shit there pants and have nightmares at night(that is the american paradime). That is the beauty of the movie though. The premise is so outlandish, disgusting, and far removed from what the general public is used to seeing that it forces the audience to take the film at face value and simply enjoy the most ridiculous and visually stimulating battles EVER. I will counting down the days till the release of Cowboys and Aliens. The invasion starts July 29 hope you all embark on the journey that is Cowboys and Aliens.
