Did you know the first Hood Internet post was a MIMS track? True story. Dude's career really took off after that. This one is basically a MIMS song with some horns dropped over it, which explains why it is being posted during reject week.

This one is for fans of LOST and/or MC Luscious (are those mutually exclusive groups?); maybe Jorge Garcia will repost it on his blog.

ELSEWHERE IN THE NEWS: The Hood was featured on RCRD LBL and the UR Chicago blog. UNRELATED: R. Kelly acquitted on all 14 counts. RELATED: Watch out for that new Hood "Hair Braider" mix early next week.

Before deciding to mix Kells' "Rock Star" with Jens Lekman it was mixed with Broken Social Scene's Kevin Drew. In a lot of ways this felt like the poor man's "I'm a Flirt (Shoreline)" and this was after I had already declared T-Pain vs Cloud Cult to be the poor man's "Flirt (Shoreline)." Either way, it was a good year for poor men.

I know STV posted a Kells track about a minute ago, but that one didn't have Kid Rock on it. Has no one noticed that his being on this track is stranger than anything from Trapped In The Closet? Internet rumor has it that Kid Rock gave Rufus the package, the package.

At this point I'm assuming everyone's heard the rumors, so I might as well confirm them: ABX and I have started principal photography on the forthcoming R. Kelly/Shellac feature film, Trapped In Studio B (Chapters 23-31). Tentative release date is February 30, 2008. The film co-stars Greg Norman (pictured above on stairs) and Pip.

Hood Internet reader Joe Kaiser made a video for ABX's "I'm A Flirt (Shoreline)" mix, you can check that shit out right here.
