Yes, this was supposed to drop today, but as the tape was being finished up Green Lantern got called upon to DJ a Nas show in Thailand, so the tape will be available upon his return on Monday. Anyone who saw the Jones Experience understands why Nas needs the Evil Genius.

In the spirit of the new Beyonce record we felt it was fitting to have an appropriate photo to show our feelings towards it. Now, I understand the concept of the record and in all honesty I actually dig it. The delivery just wasn’t all the way there though…..in other words, Beyonce fell off on this one. We still love you though!

I meant to post this the day I saw it but it completely slipped my mind and definitely shouldn’t have because it’s my new favorite video. I’ve been an Atmosphere fan ever since Overcast! and it feels great to see these guys get in the position I always felt they should be in. Here is the video for Atmosphere’s hit single You. Dope finger work on the Tech Decks!

If I were you I would download this mixtape right now. I hadn’t really heard too much from Proton so when I found out they dropped a mixtape I immediately downloaded it on the strength of what I had heard and I wasn’t disappointed at all. It has everything from old school classics to progressive records and is an all around fun project to listen and zone out to. Good job fellas, can’t wait for the album.

No I.D. took time to chime in about Common (Sense’s )Demo Tape, and also mention that he and Kanye West will be producing Common’s album coming in 2009. Although Universal Mind Control hasn’t even dropped yet, this adds much anticipation to Common’s future project as G.O.O.D. Music will be in full effect again. Kanye West & No I.D. were recently working on Jay-Z’s next and last Def Jam release, Blueprint 3, and although Kanye was mostly unavailable, due to the tour, to produce for Common on this album, The Neptunes had to step in for production. The world is still waiting to hear how they plan on following up 2007’s Finding Forever & 2005’s Be. No I.D., who Kanye calls his mentor, produced much of Common Sense’s classic Resurrection, and last produced for Common on One Day It’ll Make Sense.

Universal Mind Control drops on December 9th. Expect to see Lonnie in the fourth Terminator movie with Christian Bale and play the Green Lantern in The Justice League movie.

Here’s some footage of last night’s performance.
