As blogs continue to evolve, some focus their energy on highlighting MP3s. In their April 2005 issue, Blender magazine has a bit in their “Digital Music Guide” section called “Audioblogs”. They ran down some of the blogs out right now who brave the waters and give up unauthorized MP3s. I have listed some of them again here, as well as a few that didn’t get mentioned. I will try to make this a regular post here at BC if people seem to dig it.
Don’t walk…run to Tofu Hut and download Memphis Minne’s “Dirty Mother For You” and Ruth Brown’s “Mama He Treats Your Daughter Mean”. (Shout out to my baby momma’s momma.)
No Frontin’ Just Music has Slim Thug, Mike Jones, and Paul Wall - "Still Tippin' (Diplo Remix)", Biggie Smalls-"Real Niggaz" unreleased version and Nas’ "Doorags among others.
Coolfer has Robbers On High Street’s “Spanish Teeth” and some other decent MP3 links.
So Many Shrimp got so many mp3’s they got iodine poisoned…SXSW stuff, Project Pat, complete mixtapes, “One Thing” video, and Ruff Squad’s “Anna” just to name a few.
Soul Sides has some OG material. Check out Kashmere Stage Band’s version of “Scorpio” (snippet)
Props to Ghetto Postage for the Lethal B “FWD Riddim” ft Kardinal link up!
Check out Rap Nerd for tons of mp3s. Beastie Boys “The Sound of Science”, Organized Konfusion’s “Stress”, a rappers who jacked the Beatles section, Nas & Pitbull “Imagaine”, De La Soul’s “Simply Having”, Pumpkinhead, Block McLeod, Mr. Metaphor: Con Artists , Ill Bill, Jise One, Goretex, Q-Unique on “14 Years of Rap” and a Mos Def section. This guy deserves a medal!
That should keep you busy at work while your boss is away.

Double thumbs up to the Tofu Hut. I've gotten lots of groovy stuff there for awhile. I dig on some of the obscure old gospel recordings, but you might also find some new electronica stuff that will kick your ass. This dude knows his stuff.
Visit Tofu Hut often.
