That's right Michael G. Scott will be Ron Swanson's successor as BRL's Man of the Year. 2011 was quite the year for the mentor of our blog's forefather, as he ended his career with Scranton, PA's Dunder Mifflin-Sabre company to move to Colorado.
We followed Scott for 7 years, and more or less grew up with his quirky antics and dedication to comedy.
Our generation has many fond memories of Scott and he will never leave our hearts. But it was time to move on, and it was the right move to leave Scranton even though it was hard to see him leave. And yes, that is indeed watch she said.
Finally one of the most anticipated releases of the year, Evidence's RSE debut, Cats & Dogs will hit shelves 9/27. I will also be seeing Evidence (along with Blueprint and Atmosphere) next week in Cleveland.
Here's the first teaser trailer for the 'Lynguists' upcoming album, Oneirology. The album is going to be a concept record (see: A Piece of Strange) that revolves around dreams (Oneirology means the scientific study of dreams). The album will contain some guest spots from Big K.R.I.T., Freddie Gibbs, Tonedeff, and more...
Since I'm currently blogging from my human sexuality class, I didnt get to listen to the video, so that's all the info I have for you now. According to some Twitter posts, the first leak off the album will be released this up-coming Monday. Awesome.
Here's Macklemore and Ryan Lewis's tribute to Dave Niehaus, the famous Seattle Mariners broadcaster. Hopefully this song isn't just a random track, hopefully it will appear on the two's yet-to-be-titled album that should be released this year.
And here's the long-awaited, "Irish Celebration" music video. I really don't know how they keep making these awesome videos on such a low budget. These music videos>>>>>> your favorite mainstream rapper's videos. It just goes to show, you really don't need a big label to make good music, or even a good video.
This is classic. Unfortunately this drink that countless college students have a love/hate relationship with has been rumored to be banned in the state of Michigan (serves you right B*tche*s!) and possibily in Bowling Green (but with that being said I heard it from a source who said that Bryan McKnight's "Back at One" was inspired by a DVD Player). So I suggest all of you (that are the age of 21 or older) to stock up on these drinks priced at $1.99 in most stores before they go out of business.
Here is a painfully awkward, Vlog, I promised to not do this regularly. But After a 3 and a half month hiatus, we are back and we are expanding. yeahhhh
This is one of the most anticipated releases of the year. Kno of the Cunninlynguists, has spent most of the time in the past 4 CL projects behind the boards. And with this release he will finally display his rapping abilities. Also a big selling point for this album is that it will be released on my 21st birthday! So everyone on October 12th, go down to Finders grab a copy of this album and then meet me at the bars and buy me a drank.
Death Is Silent, the solo debut from CunninLynguists‘ producer and emcee Kno, is set to be released on October 12th 2010.
While handling nearly all of CL’s production since the group’s inception in 2001, his emceeing has more recently taken a backseat to his beats — and it has shown. Fueled by Kno’s lush production techniques, A Piece of Strange currently ranks as the #8 release of 2005 (and the only hip-hop release in the Top 30) at high traffic web community RateYourMusic.com, Dirty Acres was awarded “Album Of The Year” honors by UndergroundHipHop.com for 2007 and both of 2009’s compilation releases, Strange Journey Volume One and Two, were given “Top Ten Albums” honors at 2DopeBoyz.com.
After amassing only 4 verses over the CunninLynguists’ last four releases, the Atlanta-based artist is set to step out from behind the boards on Death Is Silent, both producing the entirety of the record and handling the majority of the vocals. The record’s concept involves the inevitability of death and its impact on love, life, family and friends. The artwork was realized by Argentinian visual artist Diego Fernandez.
Kno will still see plenty of activity on the production side of things, as the next 6 months will see the release of Oneirology, CunninLynguists’ newest studio album in 3 years, Chico and The Man, the long-awaited concept album with fellow QN5 MusicTonedeff as well as MacheteVision, a joint project with emcee Marq Spekt. artist and longtime friend
While all of these releases will be produced entirely by Kno, his production will also be featured on upcoming projects by Freddie Gibbs, 9th Wonder signee Tom Hardy as well as the album Niggaz With Latitude, a group project from CL’s own Deacon The Villain and Sheisty Khrist.
Death Is Silent will be released on CunninLynguists’ own imprint APOS Music.

As I see the lyrics to this song on more and more facebook statuses and it getting more play on the radio, I'm starting to hate this song. Maybe that's the music snob in me, but this however, is awesome.
Here's a live performance by The Roots of their amazing new single, Dear God 2.0, which is a re-working of Monsters of Folk's song of the same name. How I got over is streaming on The Roots' myspace, get your copy this tuesday!
Hi, Today I discovered something about myself: I love dumb bitties. Whether screaming off-key along with a lady gaga song at a party, or almost hitting me with her car as she's texting while driving, she is indeed my favorite specimen on the planet. So I decided to make a segment here at BRL honoring those dumb bitties.
Without further adieu, I bring to you one of the most trashiest, ignorant, and well, entertaining displays of dumb bittieness I've ever witnessed on the internets.
Sorry for the lack of posts in the past couple of weeks, its the end of the semester and times are stressful.
But here's another Black Keys vid, the return of Frank the lipsynching dinosaur/puppet. The Akron-duo's upcoming album, Brothers hits shelves May 18th (along with Reflection Eternal and Nas & Damian Marley. HUGGGEEEE day for music. Im going to be broke).
