According to a tweet by Diplo, a Soulja Boy/Major Lazer collab is in the works. Let’s hope it looks something like this:
Music Monday: Cameo
Posted in Good Shit, Music Monday with tags cameo, Music Monday, old school, word up on August 24, 2009 by Ben BadioBefore the rise and fall of the club banger in the late 2000s, there was the rise and fall of electro-infused funk and soul in the early 1980s. Welcome to Cameo.
These are the fools who popularized the phrase "Word Up!"
This is the shit your parents were stumbling to at clubs and bars when they were your age, or my parents at least. Regardless, your parents probably heard these songs in their more youthful days, and I’m sure you’ve probably heard one of these tracks on I Love the Insert-a-Decade-Here TV series. So get ready to groove. Click the links to download.

Hey! Before you listen to these BANGER$, make sure you’ve got “Bangers” turned on in iTunes. For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about: iTunes > “View” > “Equalizer” > “Bangers”
Van She – Changes (Van She Tech Remix)
Bag Raiders – Turbo Love (Shinichi Osawa Remix)
Crystal Fighters Remixed

Crystal Fighters – Xtatic Truth (Renaissance Man Remix)
Listening to the other hundred songs you’ve just downloaded is really difficult after coming across a song as good as this.
Cute girl, good music

Just got some stimulus money in the mail, so now we can post all the bangers (and I, all the cute alt girls) we want again! Fucking Huzzah!
Drop The Lime – Hear Me (AC Slater Remix)
Rye Rye (feat. M.I.A.) – Bang (Cobra Krames BigHorns Mix)
HIP HOP LIVES! #2
Posted in Good Shit, hip hop, new shit(?) with tags Adam s, Amanda Blank, busta rhymes, Clipse, das racist, Dead Prez, hip hop, kanye west, Lil' Wayne, M.I.A., Mapei, New Boyz, rye rye, T-Pain, T-Wayne on May 3, 2009 by Ben BadioIn case you haven’t heard, the Hands Up Blog is Orlando’s self-proclaimed psychic crystal-ball blog for Hip-Hop. In other words, whatever you read/see/listen to on this blog is THE FUTURE OF HIP HOP.
Jamaica Avenue!
Das Racist – Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell
Finally, rappers are beginning to focus on topics America cares about! Let’s hope for a Bistro Gourmet McDonald’s Remix!
New Boyz are what I consider “Hip Hop Gumbo.” Take one part “The Pack,” two parts “Lil’ Wayne,” and seven parts “The Cool Kids.” Place in a large pot, add water. Serve cold.
Clipse feat. Kanye West – Kinda Like a Big Deal
Clipse and Kanye come together for a special occasion in which they rap about how awesome they think they are. Not out of the ordinary, but a decent track nonetheless.
This...Is...Serious.
Busta’s back…for real this time…I swear. He’s rapping fast, shouting non-sensical phrases and repeating himself again, just like back in the mid-90s. Hell yes! NOTE: This track is produced by Pharell, so expect to hear some random adlibing from Hip-Hop’s other Diddy.
T-Wayne – He Raps, He Sings, It’s T-Wayne
A short and oh-so-sweet introductory track for one of the most-anticipated, least interesting upcoming albums.
Rye Rye feat. M.I.A – Bang (DJ Booman Remix)
Rye Rye is the next Kid Sis, who was the next MC Lyte. Listen UP!
Mapei is the next Rye Rye, who was the next Kid Sis, who was the next MC Lyte…Listen UP!
Amanda Blank
Amanda Blank – I would Like You Better If We Slept Together
Words of Wisdom from the infamous Amanda Blank, the sexiest hip-hopstress in the game.
Dead Prez
If you download any track in this post, or even on the entire page, let it be this one. Dead Prez are back and just as socialist as ever. This is a MUST-LISTEN.
BONUS! Dead Prez – Hip Hop (Adam S. Edit)
Our local fave teases us with another other-worldly mash-up. Please forgive him for toying with this Dead Prez classic, an act which even he considered “Sacrilege.”
