Will Somebody Keep Mac Miller in a Fucking Closet Please!

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)

White Boys to Watch For

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"


A.E.R.-"Feel I Bring"

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!"

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."

White Panda Propaganda

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.
