Louis Logic "Idiot Gear" 7-inch Single
Curiosity, as the saying goes, killed the cat. And probably a boxcar's worth of other animals as well. No one knows this more, however, than the lucky dude who happens to inquire about his girlfriend's sexual history. This man dons the "idiot gear" first made famous by Silent Bob and now broken down with trademark acerbic wit by Louis Logic. The lead single from last year's Sin-A-Matic,
"Idiot Gear" is Louis in true form. He's riding a so-fun-it's-silly beat by his frequent (and underexposed) cohort J.J. Brown and tossing one-liners like "Living life in a small hood you probably collide/ With lots of dudes who probably used to climb on top of your wife." The previously unreleased b-side was unreleased for a reason: it's vapid underground boom. However, it's still worth picking this up for the lesson that "Idiot Gear" provides. Buy it before you don it!

Eyedea & Abilities E & A
Kanye West The College Dropout
"Sick...sick...sick of the same old thing?" Then align with Eyedea & Abilities' style of funk hip-hop on the group's latest release E & A and you won't be disappointed. Eyedea & Abilities is powerfully dynamic subterranean hip-hop.
MC Eyedea sounds like the Def Squad minus the gangster suit. Swaying in and out of fast-ripped lyrics and focus, Eyedea is true to the themes that matter. With "Paradise," Eyedea introduces a unique view on the give and take nature of relationships over authentic beats and precision scratching of DJ Abilities. Straight up, Eyedea & Abilities can do it all. E & A is written, produced and performed well enough to combine raw skill with twists and tweaks to send any current rap artists back to the lab.

KJHK DJ, New Music Rotation
Mondays, 10 p.m. to midnight
In the face of the aging hip-hop norm that all things must be "street" to be authentic, Kanye West is unapologetically suburban. It is that honesty that makes his music refreshing. West does not make music specifically for the people who are gangsta', hood, intellectual or conscious. Rather, he brilliantly produces and deftly emcees for all people. West makes everybody music, and it is evident that he has fun doing it. On The College Dropout, he's charmingly arrogant, mischievously playful, doggedly persistent, but above all he's dead serious about being himself, and making sure that his listeners hear him for who he is - the best thing to happen to hip-hop this year.
