Blakroc a.k.a Do you ever fuck with rock&roll?





I think it was around last autumn that I discovered the brilliance of The Black Keys.Oh, how i adore thee music..Oh shit, this is gonna be such a stan post, so yeah:)

At some point I remember reading that they were gonna record a new album with some hip-hop/r'n'b artists, but I figured it would take some time to actually finish it (getting everyone together etc.).Boy, was I wrong.The album comes out November 27 (Black Friday,after Thanksgiving) and features collaborations by Q-Tip,Mos Def, RZA, Raekwon, Ludacris, Pharoahe Monch, NOE, Nicole Wray, Billy Danze and the late Ol' Dirty Bastard.After listening to some of the tracks on YT, watching the clips from the recording process,well..Sweeeeeeee-eeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Here is the tracklist:
01 Coochie (feat. Ludacris & Ol Dirty Bastard)
02 On The Vista (feat. Mos Def)
03 Hard Times (feat. NOE)
04 Dollaz & Sense (feat. Pharoahe Monch & RZA)
05 Why Cant I Forget Him (feat. Nicole Wray)
06 Stay Off The Fuckin Flowers (feat. Raekwon)

More info and photos/stuff on their website.


First single off the album is "Ain't Nothing Like You (Hoochie Coo)"


Blakroc also had weekly episodes of the recording process, and I think I'll put them all here.Hah, 10 or so YT videos (slow comp owners, beware:)
