9th Wonder returns with his second installment of the 9th Invented the Remix (AGAIN). 9th Wonder released his original remix project was back in 2003 after the success of Little Brother’s The Listening. The new mixtape has some notable hip-hop and R&B remixes. Some of the highlights include Little Brother’s – “Not Enough (More)” (9th Wonder STILL Ain’t Enough Remix), Tweet’s – “Turn Da Lights Off” (9th Wonder Oh No You Didn’t Remix) which samples Teddy Pendergrass’ “Turn Off The Lights” remixed with 9th wonder’s drums. Some of the other R&B remixes were a bit underwhelming, but he did remix “Wordplay” by A Tribe Called Quest so there’s still a lot to like on here. Please let us know the what you think. Props to Eskay

Welcome to the weekly rundown where we (soulsupreme and Marty) provide you with our top ten headlines for the week that was.

1. Michael Jackson passes away at 50. The King Of Pop died of cardiac arrest on Thursday. The whole world is in mourning over the loss of MJ. He is the most important artist of this generation and his music continues to touch lives.
2. Will.I.Am’s manager punches out Perez Hilton in Toronto after the MMVA’s. You can’t continue to trash people on a daily basis and think that that negativity won’t come to you. We don’t condone violence, but don’t write cheques your ass can’t cash.
3. The Roots Debut Their New Single “How I Got Over” On ‘Jimmy Fallon’. The new single sounds ridiculously dope. We are really digging the upbeat vibe and obvious James Brown influence. We’re hoping for a few more leaks like The Legendary did for Rising Down because October is way too far away. Read the rest of this entry »
