Stweets is watchin'...(oh and it's Thanksgiving)...some DMV Dopeness too

So I'm in my sister's den.  Been lurking on & off Twitter since I got here a few hours ago.  Spent some time w/ my nieces (7 & 13) and a neighbor kid (13) on the Wii...I suck @ shooting games.  I have been to a shooting range on many occasions and can properly shoot a firearm unassisted.  Weird.

So I've been aware that Lupe was droppin' a mixtape @ midnight.  Twitter is like the instantaneous 'grapevine'.  The real time, real public, real real chatroom, 24/7, 365.  Lupe doesn't tweet much, so when he does I pay attention.  Got an hour #latepass though since I was all caught up in family fukkery, shout-out @f_deville, he sent me the link.  (He's also a dope emcee, check him out HERE & follow him on Twitter.  He's from DMV.)

Here is Lupe's just released mixtape:  "Enemy Of The State: A Love Story"

Lupe

He also released THIS, it's the "Angels Remix feat. Lupe Fiasco".  SO dope.  The beat is crazy.  He remixed Diddy's song and sent to him on Twitter.  I love modern technology, LOL.

Through Twitter I also discovered Black Star was on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.  Mos & Talib jammed w/ The Roots (you all DO know The Roots is the house band for Jimmy Fallon, right?!  If not, get from under the rock you've been living and #getfamiliar !)  backed by Dirty Projectors (sidebar:  never heard of 'em but I'm on it...coming soon).  @jose3030** followed right up and tweeted THIS LAINK, you can check the performance there.

Jimmy also had Jamie Kennedy on (The Roots played The Fresh Prince's theme song as his walk-on music, #215 stand up!)...and Padma Lashki was glowing & gorgeous, 7 months pregnant.  I don't get to catch his show much b/c it's on so late, but @jose3030** always has the highlights and I catch clips online.

**If you don't follow him already on Twitter, do so.  Cool dude from the DMV.  He also has a dope site you can check out HERE.  This dude gets it in.

Download the links.

Check out the sites, the DMV dopeness. 

I am putting you ON.

I'm anxious to see my family tomorrow (later on this afternoon, it's nearly 3 am)...Thanksgiving is always a good time.  Mi Madre turns 50 on Friday.  My bro's 1st baby is due this weekend.  There's a lot going on for me right now. 

But tonight I am THANKFUL for hip hop...I needed this.... d(-_*)b

Yo shout out to you for posting the link on your blog. I really need to post more just know I read it on the regular. Even though I'm a dorkified (love that word btw) corp drone appreciate dopeness and those bringing it to the masses.
