The Black Keys feat. Mos Def & Jim Jones - Hoochie Coo
Dame Dash set up a new indie label for the rock band The Black Keys to release a rap/rock album entitled Blak Roc featuring other hip hop heavyweights Q-such as Tip, Ludacris, Raekwon, RZA, Billy Danze, Pharoahe Monch & ODB. The album drops on Black Friday. Here’s the first single:
The Black Keys feat. Mos Def & Jim Jones - Hoochie Coo
According to Mr. Dash:
“My assistants, who are now actually A&Rs, were going to a Black Keys concert for their birthday and I wasn’t invited,” he explained. “Usually on their birthdays we all do it together and the reason why I wasn’t invited was because the concert was sold out . And I had never heard of The Black Keys and I was like y’all still gonna go without me. And they was like ‘Yo it’s The Black Keys.” So I was like, lemme hear this group. So I start listening to them and they actually became my favorite group. They were on heavy rotation so we just reached out and we kicked it with them and I was like, ‘I wonder what would happen if we got Jim Jones and the Keys in the studio’ and Jim came in and all of a sudden Mos came in and then [it] just built from there. “
Classic Dame shit. “I liked kicks, so I bought Pro-Keds.” Read about how this track came together at XXL.

yo tribe..
you know anyone that buys Pitbull’s music? cos i dont know no one that does, yet he still around.
–Apparently hes got FL club scene on smash.
September 14th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
Artest is not a thug….He is just labeled one by Espn and White America..
Ron Artest is just crazy…and built like a linebacker/fullback..
Like he will kill you….but you wont see Ron Artest on the block kicking with thugs…holding pistols or selling drugs…
September 14th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
Joe 88 tell me you didn’t say Kenyan can check Kobe? GTFOH..
September 14th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
The problem is that these rich dudes…are still trying to be street…flashing guns, with their 20 goons…talking about putting hits out on niggas like a mob boss..
GTFOH…
September 14th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
Wow i wonder howlong i took Dame to come up with this idea, its not a bad one either. He must be calling in ALL of his favors.
Mos def and Jim jones on a song is blasphemy tho, Voltron is slicing his wrist right now
September 14th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
Kenyon Martin and Ron Artest would be a good fight…because Kenyon Martin has that nervous tick..and Ron Artest is just a crazy psycho…
They would murder each other..
September 14th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
Carmelo is a goon? He can put a hit out on a nigga? He got goons that will kill?
Why the fuck would Melo do that…he’s rich with Jordan Endorsements and makes million with the Denver Nuggets..
wtf…would he murder someone…and jeopardize all of that…
It would be like Max B part 2…
Melo is not street….
Hood DVDs dont make you gangsta…I don’t care how many goons you got, how many guns you flashing or how much crack you pumpin..

I dont like this song but i like the idea or the direction its headed. It has been done tho, most noticeably by jay w/ linkin’ park
September 14th, 2009 at 1:14 pm
@sean
Trust me, I know atleast 8 of the 150 man entorage carmelo has on deck, these niggas is serious. It was a bad move by carmelo to be in the flick, but I got him on several other baltimore hood DVD’s (one love dvd vol-7) he’s on there, jadakiss, kevin hart, etc and he wasn’t acting like a thug, he doesn’t need to, it was just the people around him that was filming the stop snitching dvd, they was asking him stupid “let’s get locked up” questions. And melo responded, no one in baltimore knew what type of press there dvd was gonna get
truthfully, baltimore started the stop snitching movement, even tho it’s always been a code in the streets, we started it, now it’s niggas in the chi, the bay, etc making stop snitching dvd’s, smfh, only niggas getting locked up for them is baltimore niggas, once skinny suge dropped stop snitching 2, they sat his ass down for some numbers, smfh, i’ma watch my dvd tonight, bring back memories
September 14th, 2009 at 1:15 pm
dahntay jones was a court goon, but he aint no street goon…
big difference between a goon on the court and a goon on the street…MELO is neither…he’s a poser/fronter….though melo is one of my favorite players
September 14th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
@X_facta
As much as I hate to say this, no one can check kobe currently. That’s all i’ma say about that
Second, if you think carmelo’s a fronter, ask stevie J how his face feel after he tried to holla at lala, or just watch punk’d and see his reactions, there’s not faking that shit G
He might not be a goon, but he aint a bitch, and that’s the truth
September 14th, 2009 at 1:17 pm
u know u don fucked up right?

I never called Carmello a fronter cause I don’t know him or niggas he run/ran with. I said he’s one of the best players in the NBA. I never questioned his gangsta cause he’s done nothing for me to question it.. Now if I see him kissing Baby in mouf I will have to amend this paragraph..
September 14th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
*dead* @ niggas not knowing you’ll get your face punched OFF by any Baltimore basketball nigga.Them niggas is head cases for real.I played with B’more niggas in JUCO and they always repped in team fights.Good times.

yeah but the talent in the black keys is so much more abundant than linkin park, not to mention the black key’s sound is so much more rooted in black musical history than linkin park. good idea, so so execution.
September 14th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
Run up on melo and think he’ll bitch up, bet you’ll get a 80+ reach arm swinging at your face.
And boosie, you know me and you on the same page on almost everything (pause) but carmelo isnt a goon, or a bitch/clown, he’s like in the middle, and those the niggas I respect the most, yeah, he acted out when he first came into the league, but remember he’s only 8 months older than lebron, when shit happens to melo, he’s a thug, but when shit happens to bron, he’s young, FOH, he just matured and realized that acting out will never get anything resolved in the NBA, and he has a whole city to carry on his shoulders, so instead of doing the norm, he’s falling back, but he definently is one of the realest niggas in the league, straight up & down
September 14th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
carmelo runs with goons but he aint one…this dude punch a dude on the blindside then ran backwards mad fast…then talked mad shit…real niggas get in and stay their ground..
nate robinson is an NBA goon…i bet that nigga would whoop carmelo’ ass

Barkley and Stephen Jackson are the GOAT goons.
Barkley for fighting Shaq,and winning might I add.
Stephen Jackson for clearing out Row 14,seats 3 through 9.

Joe88
I see your point…Nah def. not saying carmelo is a bitch cause he stay in fights and holds his own…but I just can’t call him a goon…he might be a pretty boy goon type…but not an ugly nigga goon type..(you know those ugly ass niggas just waiting for shit to pop off even if they aint got nothing to do with it…walking around with they hands behind they back strolling and waiting for shit to pop off)

lol, nate is from a black neighborhood in seattle, not too rough. i played at his high school court back in my aau days. not sayin nate isnt tough, but melo does have like a foot on him…
September 14th, 2009 at 1:26 pm
>>>>nate robinson is an NBA goon…i bet that nigga would whoop carmelo’ ass
^Nah son, i’d whip nate robingson lil ass, i’m bigger than him, and carmelo is 6′8, aint no way in hell he’d beat carmelo. I never seen nate throw a punch in my life, but he stay mad, ole fronting ass nigga, while one punch from carmelo’s off hand dropped a nigga to one knee, do you really think nate could win against a nigga a whole foot taller than him?
He’s just aggresive, one thing baltimore niggas aint scared of is aggresion, fuck getting amp, nigga you either gonna swing or sit the fuck down.
September 14th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
I got a hundred on nate robinson…thats all I’m a say…that lil nigga likes to fight…and he gets it in.
