There are a few artists I'm frankly shocked producers don't constantly sample. Radiohead's a producer's wet dream but Radiohead samples are few and far between, and although Amy Winehouse's drug induced stupor is begging to be flipped everyone seems more interested in rapping over "Rack City". So first and foremost props to Joshua "Rock" Adams. Listen and download...
As a general rule I'm suspicious of posthumous releases. That Michael Jackson album was a travashamockery and at this point the only Pac material being released is shit he never wanted anyone to hear. But with first the Nas-assisted "Smoke" and now "Halftime", everything "new" I'm hearing from Amy Winehouse is actually pretty damn good. Listen and download...
Years ago in 2008, Amy Winehouse collaborated with Mr. Jones himself for "Like Smoke" a duet that will appear on the singer's posthumous album "Amy Winehouse Lioness: Hidden Treasures." And if "Like Smoke" is any marker of how the album will sound I'm sure it'll be full of exactly that, lots of hidden treasures. Listen and download...
First off, RIP to the great Amy Winehouse. Regardless of all the "fuckery" there's no denying how much of an impact Winehouse had as a musician.

After footage of Amy Winehouse's disastrous comeback tour started surfacing (don't worry, the tour's been cancelled) I immediately set aside for a future Fails of the Week, but Amy's saga has gone way past humorous fail. Actually, it's just kind of depressing and at the very least deserved its own post. See more...
