Kanye “All of the Lights”

modernmanmusic — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 00:57:42 +0000

Kanye’s new video for arguably his most flashy (pardon the pun), catchy banger on his latest album “MBDTF” is out and quickly approaching 1 million(!?) hits. Its a slightly grimy yet very glossy shoot that switches between shots of the rapper spitting his prose on top of police cars in a wet, narrow alley and ALOT of neon colored flashing random fonts. Not for those prone to seizures. SERIOUSLY..check it out and let us know what you think.

Destiny By Design

modernmanmusic — Wed, 13 May 2009 19:28:20 +0000

Destiny by design & Citzen Schools focus on using hip hop to develop culture and career opportunites in the youth. In the Fall of 2008 Jules Narcisse & Robert Gabriel along with local Ausint Djs, producers, and rappers taught a class at Kealing Middle school about Hip Hop history, style and technique. This video is a mini-documentary chronicling the time they spent learning about hip hop culture, developing their individual talents and style, and their big performance.
I personally think its a really refreshing look at the things Hip Hop can do when put to a constructive purpose. Not to say that Hip-Hop hasn’t done millions of positive things for communites all across the globe, just that this is another great example. Plus its really inspiring to see the kids being so inspired as they learn about their persoanl talents! One of my favorite parts is at 3:15, where the kids are freestyling and beatboxing at the table; lol it gives me flashbacks to 9th grade lunch!!
BIG UPS to Gerald G, AC, Rapid Ric, OG, Tee Double, Ms.RocktheMic,Staci Russell, DaBosnian and Citizen Schools. And a big shout out to MT at AustinHipHopScene.com for the link!

Gotta Loft in..AUSTIN

modernmanmusic — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 18:48:49 +0000

So, a little birdie told me during SXSW that Kanye supposedly bought a place in Austin but i passed it off as hearsay until my brother showed me this verse ’Ye dropped on Rick Ross’s Maybach Music 2 at about 1:22 sec’s in.
“New crib-LOFT IN- where its at-AUSTIN-where is that-Texas!!!”
Pretty self explanatory eh? After doing some more reasearch i realised its also the same verse he chose to freestyle during the cypher session him, Common, and Erykah Badu dropped during their SXSW show at the Fader Fort.
So there you have it. Kanye West’s got a place in Austin. So dont be surprised if you see him pop in and out of your favorite downtown hot spot or eating at Uchi with his bald but still amazingly bangin girlfriend Amber Rose.
Dont know who she is yet? Google it. I dare ya. And type in the words “Smooth Magazine” also…just make sure your not on a work computer cus the results are definately NSFW..LOL
Dont say Cairo didnt warn ya..

PS. just joking about the “hipsters and American apparel” stuff ya’ll…we at Modern Man love American Apparel (and hipsters). One of our industry partners is in cahoots with them too!
Besides, we all know its true anyway

Spring = Mixtape Mania

modernmanmusic — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 21:22:05 +0000

Just thought i’d throw this out to ya’ll….

Ive noticed recently a HUGE amount of mixtapes dropping pretty soon, and I for one am not complaining. Mixtapes mean free music, new music, and often music thats more experimental than regualar LP’s. Off the top of my head i know Feddi Man told me hew was dropping one (when doesn’t that boy have a new mixtape dropping?? lol) of course Modern Man has got that hot new one, and ive been hearing randomly about a slew of other ones.
So if you have any you know about , hit me up thepassionofcairo@yahoo.com so i can let the people know.

My boy Outlaw Producer just dropped a new dubstep mixtape titled
“A Tour of Texas Dubstep Vol 1″
get it here: http://www.divshare.com/download/6626054-fe0
edit: Outlaw just told me the above link reached its download limit (that was quick!!) and so he had to create a new one here:
http://www.divshare.com/download/6657243-de1

Its over 50 minutes of tunes from 11 producers all across this big ol country of a state we call Texas. This soundman’s got plenty of danceable dub for all you rudeboys (& girls) out there to
take to the massive!!

Dubbed “The Last Mixtape In The World Volume 1″, its a 19 track album filled with remixes of popular artists, remixes of our own songs, skits, and even a few original tracks thrown in. In true mixtape fashion, its packed with a little humor, great lyrics, and a whole lot of randomness. And as any good mixtape should be,its FREE!!

So Download it here ASAP:

edit: the file server we where using previously SUCKS. NEVER USE www.filesavr.com!! Everytime we uploaded a file to their servers it would “dissapear” after 1 DAY, regardless of downloads during that period time. They fail to respond to emails, and our advice: DONT waste your time.
