This is Hip-Hop.

[Camel]

Haven't watched it yet and probably won't until I get back from holidays in a few weeks and I don't have it with me here now. I'll check later and update.

Premo and Bumpy Knucks at Lakota in Bristol on Wednesday night, fuck yeah!

My long awaited return to hiphop gigs is gonna be a stormer! (It's been about a year!)

And what a return!!! Fucking great gig, Bumpy Knuckles was ill but he didn't let it effect him too much. Just seeing Premo for the first time scracthing up some Gang Starr was awesome!

Not getting too bed til 4am though when I had to work in the morning....oof!

Nah, this is the one y'all want:

[Calashnikov]

Anyone else going to the MF Doom / Madlib / J Rocc / Freddie Gibbs / Jehst blow out at the HMV Forum tomorrow night in London? I'm just getting my iPod straight for the Megabus sleeper...

[ZOK]

Roc Marciano - Rocky II. Guy just keeps doin' it, this time right over an entire piece of music, no loops, no nothin', 'Holla' style:

Very nice. Has anyone else used this beat before? It's so obvious a track to pinch, but I'm obviously well off the pace with who's doing what so no idea if it's been sampled loads.

[Calashnikov]

What's the original song?

[ZOK]

[Calashnikov]

Ah right, that makes sense. I didn't remember the Rocky flicks having such a lush, soulful score (James Brown's performance in Rocky IV aside, obviously).

[ZOK]

The first Rocky soundtrack is properly amazing.

[Camel]

Not that i know of. Das EFX did something horrible over Eye of the Tiger.

[Venice Cull]

Brand Nubian's used a little slice of the Rocky Theme on 'Punks Jump Up to Get Beat Down'.

[spanky debrest]

Loving the new El-P-produced Mr MFN eXquire track:

I'm also hanging on for, in no particular order:

Roc Marciano - Reloaded

The Bronsellini / Alchemist joint

The Freddie Gibbs / Madlib full length

So much goodness coming up.

[Camel]

Style Wars is now up on US Netflix.

[carlito]

Whether you like it or not, it's going to be stuck in your head tomorrow.

one of stan's friends was DJing last night on Future Radio and dropped some atomic bombs. i loved the set because he played a lot of contemporary stuff as well as classics. this in particular blew my mind:

Kendrick Lamar's new album Good Kid M.A.A.D City has leaked and it's really fucking good. Sort of a loose concept album about his teenage years in Compton, cruising the streets in his mother's van and getting into shit.

Don't know if these have mentioned before but these Amon Tobin (under his Two Fingers alias) produced tracks are pretty heavy. He should do more hiphop:

[SpagMasterSwift]

[Calashnikov]

Boom.

Bitches blowing' on my dick like a cartridge.

Bronsolini always comes correct with the gaming references

[Shoes]

The art is amazing./

[Calashnikov]

I thought their album was gonna be called Rare Chandeliers? I guess that cover art could be for the single, but do rappers even release singles anymore?

[SpagMasterSwift]

"I date rape beauty right in front of the beast".

Not enough RZA tbh...but peep that ending.
