HHHThree in the mornin’,
Apologies for the lack of updates. I’ve been caught in a whirlwind of promo for my upcoming TOUR (15 cities cross Canada! Come see us!!!) and haven’t really had time to keep you up with all the happenings of recent.
Well, in the past little bit, I’ve seen such an incredible slew of videos (good, bad and WTF?!) that I thought I’d just post a few of’em each day for the next little while until I get some time to really pump some ish out. Those who’re regular on the blog circuit might notice that some of these are a few weeks old but for those who haven’t, enjoy.
The Good
The Roots – How I Got Over (sorry wasn’t able to embed. Twitvid is being a b.i. Click pic)
The Bad (as in M.J. Bad)
Jay-Z – D.O.A.
WTF?!
Hurricane Chris – Halle Berry (Live for the Louisiana House of Representatives)
And as a BONUS MPFREE, some new Sa-Ra featuring the lovely miss Erykah Badu. – click pic.
Be well world.

HHHThrillers,
Undoubtedly you’ve been bombarded by a touch too much M.J. news for the past week and I know for some of you, it’s become far too overwhelming.
I can sympathize. I really can.
So, because of that, I kindly ask you to please bare with me as I get this last little bit of M.J. off my chest before I return to being the self-righteous blowhard of a blogger I’ve slowly come to be.
In commemoration of M.J., I’ve compiled the best remixes, tributes and covers that have surfaced this past week, all into one convenient post. These all helped me to smile, appreciate and move on and I hope they provide you these same sentiments.
In no particular order:
Michael Jackson – HIStory (J Dilla Remix)
Erykah Badu & The Roots – I Wanna Be Where You Are
Erykah Badu & The Roots (Feat. ?uestlove on Vocals) – Billie Jean
Peanut Butter Wolf – Michael Jackson VJ Tribute – Part 1
Stevie Wonder – Michael Jackson Tribute
DJ Premier – Michael Jackson Tribute Mix
We’ll be back to the regular next post. But for now, bask one more time in the glory known as Michael Jackson.
Be well world.
As New Year’s Part 2 prepares for its grand entrance into the world (a.k.a. The Ox Strikes Back) and I watch the island formerly known as Formosa scramble around frantically throwing up good fortune banners, tossing out a years worth of whose-it’s and whatchamacallits and loading up Red Envelopes for the future Ah-Bien’s of the world, I realized that perhaps this is my opportunity to provide the loyal HHHT readers with their very own Red Envelope (also, the majority of the crew will be out of commission for the next few days, and this is in case the remainees want a break).
For the Funky:
The minds behind my favorite album of ‘05 and hopefully one of my favorite albums of ‘09, I give you: The Platinum Pied Pipers – Abundance: Official Mixtape
This is the pre-cursor to their just-released Sophomore set, (also named) Abundance. And if you’re like me and waiting on your next cheque to clear before you get that record, here’s some dope to tide you over.

For the New Heads:
As I had proclaimed weeks ago, I’m a fan of Charles Hamilton. And well, while he doesn’t knock everything out of the park, it’s nice to see a kid who actually knows his ledge and respects his craft back in the public eye. So for those who still aren’t on Interscope’s next golden boy (yes it’s been confirmed, he HAS recorded a new song with Marshall Mathers) The Best of the Hamiltonization Process

For the Old Heads:
X-Man/X-Ecutioner Rob Swift is back with a new sampler from his homage to the B-Boy Movement of the ’70’s: Dust to Dust. I’m just glad to see the man still kickin it.

And Finally…
For the Sexy:
Devil’s Pie: Erykah vs. Jill – need I say more?
Click flick for DL
Happy New Year everyone.
Be well this weekend.
Triple.
p.s. – Marcus is in Kaohsiung at the Pig & Whistle tonight…9:30-11:30 free drinks for all Facebook members!!!!
As in 2 days left!! Im gonna take a bite out of Triple’s steez here for the ladies. Seeing as how we have 2 days left ’til HHHT Vol.2 Backroom madness @ Deep Passion this Friday, just in case you don’t know. Its only fitting that you get blessed with a couple (times 2) great duets.
First off we’re going back to the classics, Marvin Gaye featuring Tammi Terrell. With ‘Your all I need to get by’
Now if your digging the song, I got it for your ipod or iphone right here
As a bonus, Im sure most of you are more familiar with the Method Man & Mary J version of this song. When this came out a bunch of dudes starting calling their girls ‘Shorty’ and ‘Boo’. Meth’s swag is pretty mean in this video too. I’m sure it inspired some thug ambitions in many a young rider at the time.
Need it for the ipod. Here ya go
On to other inspirational things. When D’angelo (pronounced Dee-Angelo, for those who don’t know) first dropped. His album definitely inspired the R&B thug in most of us. A dude with corn rows singing all pretty and shit?!! Yeah word. His first album Brown Sugar is great and his 2nd LP ‘Voodoo’ produced by the Soulquarians has glimpses of genius on it. It was also the last album he released before getting fat and going a little crazy.
Anyways D’ang tapped DJ Premier for a remix for his ode to the fairer sex. Here’s the vid featuring AZ on the mic and a few beautiful ladies for eye candy. Joi (Big Gipp from Goodie Mob’s wife), Faith Evans (Biggie’s ex) and Erykah Badu when she had just jumped on the scene and was with Andre 3000, before moving on to Common and now she’s with Jay Electronica. She definitely got some magic between her thighs!!!
Track here
Its hard to only post 2 duets, but while on the topic of D’angelo duets, here is one that he did on the classic Lauryn Hill album ‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill’
2 days left til the party. Tell a friend!!
