Виджей по имени Jonny Wilson (он же участник коллектива "аудиовизуального" коллектива Eclectic Method, делающего видео ремиксы на всех подряд) собрал интересный трехминутный ролик про сэмплы и брейки, на которых строятся главные треки в истории хип-хопа.

Пол Маккартни и Notorious B.I.G, Джеймс Браун и Public Enemy, AC/DC и LL Cool J — высоколобым знатокам и диггерам это видео, возможно, не расскажет ничего нового, но уж больно красиво сделано.

Last week, Kid Cudi announced that his Satellite Flight EP would actually be released as an album.

In an interview with MTV News, Cudi revealed that the project, slated for a February release, is a source of great excitement for him.

"What was happening was, I was just on fire creatively," said Cudi. "When you start a project, you have this notion, but you kind of put it in the back of your mind and you kind of have you idea, but I'm always kind of just like, whatever feels right, and hopefully it all comes together. And this kind of came together really well, surprisingly. And it was supposed to be this mini little thing for the fans and it ended up forming a life of its own. I'm really excited because it's my best work and it's a surprise. People weren't really expecting it."

Cudder explained how Satellite Flight ties into his other projects. "It starts where Indicud left off perfectly, and takes you right into Man on the Moon III. It's like a TV show that ends with that cliffhanger. The album ends that way, where you get that one song and before you know it, the song is over and the album is over, but there's a 'to be continued...' There's more to the story."

DMX is confirmed as George Zimmerman's opponent in an upcoming boxing match.

Boxing promoter Damon Feldman confirmed that DMX, 43, is scheduled to fight against George Zimmerman, 30, in a boxing match, according to TMZ.

DMX, reportedly one of 15,000 applicants who wanted to box against Zimmerman, recently spoke about his desire to participate in the boxing match.

"I am going to beat the living fuck out him,” DMX said of Zimmerman, who agreed to a boxing match against a celebrity. "I am breaking every rule in boxing to make sure I fuck him right up...Once I am done with him, I am going to whip my dick out and piss on him...right in his muthafckin' face...Zimmerman is a piece of shit and that’s what he needs to drink."

The official date, time and location of the boxing match are set to be announced Wednesday, February 12. The boxing match is slated to last three rounds.

DMX was not the only rapper to volunteer to enter the boxing match. Game also said he was willing to box against George Zimmerman.

"I will beat the fuck out of him," Game said recently, according toTMZ. "I would not be boxing for me. I'd be boxing for the legacy of Trayvon Martin and for his family...I would box him to knock him out. I would definitely take pleasure in it. It's legal, and I want to show him you can solve your disputes without a weapon."

In July 2013, George Zimmerman was found not guilty of second degree murder and manslaughter. He was accused of murdering Trayvon Martin in 2012. Martin was 17.
