Return flights (Thurs-Sun) with decent flight times on Tiger for $92 today also.

not feelin that nas and marley joint aye... but i was expecting some road to zion type ish, which was stupid of me

ive been smashing Marcberg like there's no tomorrow... such a real sound. and because of that revisited UN or U Out.

Also Access Immortal - Birth of a Dream... anyone who hasnt listened to that shit needs to get on it. One of them albums you can listen to intently or play in the background

And finally, i made the mistake of giving Eminem ANOTHER chance (i have to give up hope). Recovery is awful. Maybe 2 or 3 halfway decent tracks, the rest is pure rubbish. Money does awful things to talented motherfuckers

Anyone heard this yet?

Quote from: http://music-mix.ew.com/2010/06/16/dre-jay-z-under-pressure/
Dr. Dre & Jay-Z's "Under Pressure" Leaks

“Under Pressure,” Dr. Dre’s collaboration with Jay-Z, seems to have leaked online this afternoon. The song’s imminent release was announced in early April before repeated delays tempered fans’ anticipation somewhat; just a few minutes ago, I was actually writing a post entitled “Whatever happened to ‘Under Pressure’?” Now it’s here, albeit in very unfinished-sounding form.

The leak, whose rough-take vibe I cannot stress enough, is not an immediate stunner. Dr. Dre takes the first verse, spitting some decently clever bars (presumably penned with help from Jay) over clubby bleeps and bloops. “Maybe I don’t want to stop, maybe I don’t want to quit,” he muses. “Maybe I’m crazy/Maybe I’m strapped right now, just bait me.” Dre raises his voice for some rousing words in Creole. Then, after a blank space where a hook might fit, it’s time for Jay-Z’s superior verse. Hov gets some snappy lines in, as when he informs us that life’s stresses have him “bringing guns to work, Gilbert Arenas.” And: “I’m in this party, I’m up to no good/And I should be ducking these clubs, Tiger Woods.” Given the timing of the two sports scandals he references, I wonder if Jay-Z recorded his verse any later than January. After another bit of negative space, Dre growls another partial verse. That’s it. Two and a half verses, no hooks, and this version of “Under Pressure,” at least, is out.

JUNE 17 UPDATE: Early this morning, Dr. Dre issued a statement about the leak. “I want to set the record straight for everybody who’s been waiting to hear my music,” he said through a publicist. “The song that’s on the Internet is an incomplete song that I’m still working on.  When it’s ready, you’ll be hearing it from me.”

The MOP track with LFO is the comfortable winner for me. The fuck? I want explanations, Kyle?

Hahaha, that one was certainly news to me. I can only assume it was a money thing. Hopefully they robbed them after the track was recorded to keep the rep up. :lol:

Perhaps LFO are just some stone cold gangsters?

Admittedly, though far from good, his track on that site was much better than what I was expecting.

Like the beat a lot - but then I'm a big fan of Pharcyde.

It sounds like he has finally dropped the stupid voice and the overtly cheesy gimmicks; he has also dropped anything resembling an inspired punchline or a well constructed simile or metaphor. Not to mention a lyrical structure that lends itself to intricate and/or tight flow. Overwrought and forced. The beats were just terrible. Is the entire album the same?

Thank you for the gold star, sir. Honestly, I used to listen to shitloads of hip hop. I may have even been responsible for the destruction of a future tennis star's career, when I helped a friend discover the art of the chop and he neglected practice for 24/7 beatmaking. He certainly said as much. But I've neglected hip hop for the last 2 years, so my posts on the subject may be sporadic, even if the love is still there.

agreed on all points. Definitely the best album to come out since Horrorshow's "The Grey Space", imho. Beat wise, I'm a fan of Despair. He shows domestic cats that sampling records for drums and hooks is still the ONLY way to make Hip Hop.
The vid is sick. Vibrant, not too corny with the obligatory Hip Hop posse scenes (they don't come off as drunken louts looking for the next bong hit).
Dialect gets past his "angry lil babyface" looks with some honest expressions, and dope lines. For a debut clip, it's a banger. Up'd the score on Social Change's clip (sorry Joe, you know your my boy!!!)

He has had some warranted press over the past few years claiming, "the next best thing in Oz Hip Hop", "watch out for this guy in a few years"......sheeeeet, homies got the goods now and looks good for the long haul.

As far as Dialect live, from what I have seen lately, especially with Joe (Social Change) his stage presence and flow gets better month after month.
I'll be at Rocket to see the launch and I'm sure I won't be disappointed (especially with Motion, Social Change onstage to back him up).

First time I heard the Bee Why steez was thinking, man that sounds like Ayatollah beats. Sure enough. I think there are a four twelves released and floating around, all 97/98. Pricey though. DITW prices have you copping "Reality" at $175 mint!

Just popped the plastish off Marco Polo's new joint on wax...left hearin until I copped it. Lovin it!!!!
ohhhhhhhhhh, SHYLOW!!!!!!! :)

holy crap the beat to Saga " Think Of You Now" is sooo me right now!

......................K, had a listen through, love it for a bunch of what seems an album of B sides. For a canadian white bread, MP wields the NY magic which comes correct with the MC's on board. Will have to give it a few more listens through but I'm feelin it, not "Oh my God, what an album" like Double Barrel, and will never compare it to Port Authority, but he has fit some quality beats with what would be a mind fuck of MC's. MP has a Premo quality not only in sound (at times) but the talent to be raw, and at the same time differentiate mood and presence for a particular MC. Props!!!! 3 1/2 mics outta 5 :P

Okie dokie, popped Apollo Brown "The Reset" on the 1210 and I'm quietly impressed. B side is quality with four bangers from Diamond District, John Robinson & kenn Starr, Big Pooh & Black Milk and Stik Figa consecutively. Apollo's beats are smooth and let each MC platform their verses without the in ya face "look at me, I can tap buttons" scenario. For an eight tracker I'm left wanting a little more but like a 375ml Noble Desert wine it's a nice vibe after filling up on MP's joint. 3 mics outta 5.....

nuff drunkard review from tha Bizkut......oh before I go, new steez (or is it, someone check my shit here) from Everlivin...Cymarshall and Skit Slam with Beatniks on the buttons. Freedom was ill. Freedom II is better. Just can't seem to find a hard copy for the new joint, sign of the times. Here's a taster featuring El Da Sensai. Shit Bangs!!!!:

anzac - that apollo brown joint's nice aye. and did you ever hear that last everliven sound album? some real nice tracks one there, some other i hated...

and as for other stuff, the new CNN, im finding it really hard to decide whether i like it. im not so down with the beats, i really like WR1, and on first listen its a bit of a let down... ill give it more time though

new klashnekoff... hate the drums on almost every beat which makes it reeeeally hard to listen to, but there's still some dope stuff on there. if he was solely focussed on rap he'd be fucking killing it.

new KRS-One... Back to the LAB (Lyrical Ass Beating)... its ok, not entirely impressed but im not gonna hate. 6 tracks to show he's still in the game i spose

and Dutch - A Bright Cold Day - Stoupe's new project, has hooked up with a singer for a whole album. I actually recommend sussing this one, singer's voice is gorgeous, Stoupe's still doing his thing.

was reading an interview with Nore and Capone, about working with Preemo. Love some of quotes

We was starving to work with Premier. We was so starving to work with him that I think we paid him all his money up front. He was like, ‘I want this amount.’ We were like, ‘Here!’ And this is the first time we paid somebody up front. And it’s the first time we ever waited. Premier had us waiting for a good four to six months. To this day, Premier doesn’t give out beat CDs. If he makes a beat, then he makes it deliberately for you. It’s not like if you don’t want it, Nas or Mobb Deep could get it. Nah, if you don’t like it then it gets erased.

. He was in the studio with us and he played us three or four bangers and was like, ‘Oh, we like it.’ And he was like, ‘Nah you don’t like it.’ And he erased the shit right in our face! I mean three of four times. If he was playing the beat and we didn’t go ‘Whooo!’ and were just like ‘Yeah, this is good.’ I swear to you, he erased the shit right in front of our face if he didn’t get the reaction he wanted. When he played the beat he wanted us to jump up in the air and be like, ‘Whoo!’


hahah, love Preem. "nah-you don't like it" BAM - erased lol

Easily his best track in fkn years, but yeah, what's with the voice? He sounds like Skinny Joe.

Album will most likely suck, although apparently he wants DITC to get back together, so who knows. Maybe he's rich enough to not have to worry about sales anymore.

Quote
Synopsis

On a cool, clear night (typical to Southern California) Warren G travels through his neighborhood, searching for women to engage in sexual intercourse with. He has chosen to engage in this pursuit alone.
Nate Dogg, having just arrived in Long Beach, seeks Warren. Ironically, Nate passes a car full of women who are excited to see him. He insists to the women that there is no cause for excitement.
Warren makes a left at 21st Street and Lewis Ave, where he sees a group of young men enjoying a game of dice together. He parks his car and greets them. He is excited to find people to play with, but to his chagrin, he discovers they intend to relieve him of his material possessions. Once the hopeful thieves reveal their firearms, Warren realizes he is in a considerable predicament.
Meanwhile, Nate passes the women, as they are low on his list of priorities. His primary concern is locating Warren. After curtly casting away the strumpets (whose interest in Nate was such that they crashed their automobile), he serendipitously stumbles upon his friend, Warren G, being held up by the young miscreants.
Warren, unaware that Nate is surreptitiously observing the scene unfold, is in disbelief that Warren is being robbed. The perpetrators have taken jewelry and a name brand designer watch from Warren, who is so incredulous that he asks what else the robbers intend to steal. This is most likely a rhetorical question.
Observing these unfortunate proceedings, Nate realizes that he may have to use his firearm to deliver his friend from harm.
The tension crescendos as the robbers point their guns to Warren's head. Warren senses the gravity of his situation. He cannot believe the events unfolding could happen in his own neighborhood. As he imagines himself escaping in a surreal fashion, he catches a glimpse of his friend, Nate.
Nate has seventeen bullets to expend on the group of thieves, and he uses many of them. Afterward, he generously shares with Warren the credit for neutralizing the situation, though it is clear that Nate did all of the difficult work. Putting congratulations aside, Nate quickly reminds himself that he has committed multiple homicides. But, now that he has found Warren and ensured his friend's safety, engaging in intercourse with women once again becomes a priority, and he lets his friend know that there are females nearby (implying they are available for intercourse).
Warren recalls that it was the promise of copulation that coaxed him away from his previous activities, and is thankful that Nate knows how he can satisfy his urges.
Nate quickly finds the women he had left before, and remarks to one that he is fond of her physical appeal. Because the woman had earlier crashed her car on Nate's account, she asks that Nate and Warren to allow her and her friends to share transportation. Soon, both friends are driving with automobiles full of women to the East Side Motel, presumably to consummate their flirtation in an orgy.
The third verse is more expository, with Warren and Nate explaining their G Funk musical style. Nate displays his bravado by claiming that individuals with equivalent knowledge could not even attempt to approach his level of lyrical mastery. He also notes that if any third party smokes as he does, they would find themselves in a state of intoxication every day. From Nate's other works, it can be inferred that the substance referenced is marijuana. Nate concludes his delineation of the night by issuing a vague threat to "busters," suggesting that he and Warren will further "regulate" any potential incidents in the future (presumably by engaging their enemies with small arms fire).

i got to see gza do liquid swords from start to finish and it was dope! even got to see ghost and rae do all of cuban linx!

it beats hanging out all night to hear an act play the one or two classics you want to hear while they wade through their new shit you dont care about cos you dont know if off by heart. when gza played, they even did the intro from shogun assassin and everything, the vibe was nuts... proper goosebump stuff!

i would love to see doggy style, 36 chambers and midnight marauders from start to finish.

not sure it says anything about the current state of hip hop given that tribe havent done a new album for 10 years or so, slick rick even longer. might be more to do with the hip hop crowd aging with older acts still touring off albums they made in the 90s.

Heads are getting older and willing to fork out the dollars to see what we were bumping to in the 90's. Hip Hop is still in a good state.

FUCKING FINISH DETOX YOU WANKER!

http://www.factmag.com/2010/08/05/dr-dre-to-make-instrumental-concept-album-about-the-solar-system/

Hip-hop super-producer Dr. Dre has told Vibe magazine that he’s working on an instrumental hip-hop album about our solar system.

According to the California native, who masterminded two of the genre’s all-time great albums in 1992’s The Chronic and 1999’s 2001, and has been working on new album Detox for approximately a century now, he’s been thinking about this record for “a long time.”

“It’s just my interpretation of what each planet sounds like … Just all instrumental. I’ve been studying the planets and learning the personalities of each planet.”

Dre also says the album would feature special surround sound, and he’s been working on it during his spare time. And the best bit? He’s going to call it… The Planets.

Any suggestions for alternative titles, preferably pun-based ones, are more than welcome.  Wonders of the MC Solaar System?

That's weird how they say this:

Quote
Although digital sales continue to grow, executives at Fat Beats understand the importance of independent retail stores and are planning to re-open a brick and mortar hip-hop lifestyle location sometime in the near future.

Obviously there must be some other factors involved (looking for a bigger location maybe?) but why bother closing all stores if they are going to open a bricks and mortar store again down the track anyway?

Why not keep at least the pioneering NY store open?

The original title of the album was Niggamortis, but it was changed to have a better reaction with the American  crowd. However, the record was called by its original title overseas.

Niggamortis hahaha. I never knew that!

If Nas could cause controversy in these times imagine the problem that would have had back then in a less "blackenised" society than now.

I always liked the name 6 Feet Under anyhow, it made good word play with the group's name.

http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/singles/id.12152/title.lord-finesse-f-oc-krs-one-brainstorm-confidence-rmx

Did a little googling and discovered he's done other remixes of mid-90s shit and put them in a mixtape. Haven't scoped it yet but if the other tracks are as good as the Brainstorm remix then it should be awesome.

01. Danger – Blahzay Blahzay
02. Things Done Changed – Biggie
03. Flava In Ya Ear (Remix) – Craig Mack feat. Biggie, Rampage, LL Cool J & Busta Rhymes
04. Times Up – O.C.
05. Freaky Flow – Special Ed
06. T.O.N.Y. – Capone-N-Noreaga
07. Recognize & Realize – Big Noyd feat. Prodigy
08. Stick To Ya Gunz – M.O.P. feat. Kool G Rap
09. American Dream – Big L feat. Herb McGruff, Murda Mase, Killa Kam & Bloodshed
10. D.W.Y.C.K. – Gang Starr feat. Nice & Smooth
11. On The Run – Kool G Rap

Probably going to be hard to find as an MP3 until the album comes out in 2011 :)

Wow. He never did translate his immense talent to the studio for the length of an entire album (Abilities 'abilities' at production didn't help), but still, a rare talent indeed. A truly exceptional freestyler, and for a nerd rapper he had a remarkable talent for the punchline.

Once you decide to go with a name like "Cunninlynguists" you have no business doing serious/boring/mopey crap

ended up switching to Chuee and Lee Banon's EP

Actually, thats 2 really good EP's Lee Banon has produced this year (the one with Willie the Kid is sick-will make my top 10 list for this year easy). He's defintely one to watch -even if he does come from Sacramento

I watched Notorious the other day, what a great flick, I've been going through all the Biggie stuff again and I'm still blown away by how good he was plus the mad beats on that first album!

I can't believe I slept on him for so long in the 90s due to my West Coast bias lol.

Checking him out on wikipedia I came across the link: http://www.mtv.com/bands/h/hip_hop_week/2006/emcees/index9.jhtml (http://www.mtv.com/bands/h/hip_hop_week/2006/emcees/index9.jhtml) and thought it was pretty shit. Where's Guru in the top 10? When I read on wiki B.I.G. was 3rd I made a guess at Jay-Z second and Nas first. I was really surprised to see Nas that far down TBH.

My top 5 would be very similar, though in a different order and replacing Rakim with Guru.

Probably this, though ask me on another day and it would probably be rearranged or may have guys like Chuck D and Ice Cube in there instead lol:

5. Jay-Z

4. Guru

3. B.I.G.

2. Tupac

1. Nas

Only Kanye West could make a 35 minute music clip. Although I did find it surprising that it wasn't just 35 minutes of Kanye West on screen. :lol:

I actually quite like Kanye as a producer, but honestly, this song is terrible. On that basis, I think I'll leave his album alone. He never has been much of a rapper/singer IMO.

disagree (obviously). Yes, he's an amazing producer, but I also think he's a MUCH better MC than people credit him for."He's Kanye, therefore he sux" No.  A heap of his lyrics on the new album, are very clever. If anyone else was saying em, you'd be calling em dope

And I just dont get how you  can you say "the song is terrible"  Did you even listen to it, or just hear "Can we get much higher....." and hit stop. (i'm guessing thats the case cos its actually 5-6 songs in that clip)The beat in the first bit alone makes it worth listening to.....

I stopped after the song with all those people sitting at the table. I just don't particularly like his voice or his flow and I find him to be very hit and miss.  This was the case even before he was mega famous.

I can't fault him as a producer though.

So the new Dre single was premiered yesterday or thereabouts. I wasn't expecting much but even so it's pretty disappointing.

Cool video though lol. Dre's voice sounds a bit off these days though.

Also, missed that Yelawolf track you posted. I actually don't mind it at all haha. He's like an even more white trash eminem with a heavy notes of hillbilly. Can rap though and the beat is wicked. :lol:

jesus, seriously?
i followed the tool on twitter, sadly he's an ego-maniac, his album is somewhat less appealing after reading his mindless dribbles.
Posted: 29 Dec 2010, 1:08pmrecoveredSubject: Re: Hip Hop!
alright, Im gonna have a go at this. As always, maybe some of these didnt come it in 2010, but it's when i discovered em.

Was a real solid year for hip hop imo. Lots of great new artists, and some return to forms from many. Here's my top 10

1- Celph Titled and Buckwild - Nineteen Ninety Now

(http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR_IFMeVAu4iFSriWB8XzUEdHyzFpC8Q7ejolbGciKPfqIXf3pa)

Really, if this isn't number one on anyones list, I'm not sure they listened to 90's east coast hip hop. This shit is a modern classic. Sadly, perhaps also a damning indication on hip hop these days, in that it took beats from 20 years ago, to make it so good

2 - 2 Hungry Bros presents........8thw1

(http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ3lF39ZKPyvAmBSrSy-58YsbYLWF1COM04CEbTU8MngUXvRuLT)

FUN FUN FUN! This album just makes me smile. Its a bit De la, a bit Tribe etc. The production is upbeat, and i really like 8 as an MC. AOK really are killing shit right now

3 - Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

(http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT5XTKwKYud0Ro5-hYymMOdB8CsfqccaSUkFf67izln4qyXncmI)

Hate away haters, this album is fantastic. The closest thing to "Stadium Hip Hop" rap has ever seen. The sound is just huge. Kanyes back

4 - Wille the Kid and Lee Bannon - Never a Dull Moment

(http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR3R9c7FjBdnehC3d-Tlu-v8aynHmLebRBEB7tIREhypZVDTH4HlA)

Just a little EP from LA the Darkman's little brother, but a fkn great one. Lee Bannon is certainly one up and coming producer to watch. His off kilter style meshes perfectly with Willie

5 - Copywrite - Ultrasound

(http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSzF5og5LGal4t2GN4xjdxznVyaGytfLDxXSXXCZ1ycLIJSrqqT)

"Jesus - when did Copy get so good?" My first reaction when I heard this EP. Looking forward to listening to his newly released album more. Dude is a fkn sick MC these days

6 -F Stokes - Death of a Handsome Bride

(http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQEOvu0stc8hieXK0oNyIA7f5IFouGAcaK5z1ShV6cU0g9VFYR6tA)

"Who?" Yup, exactly. I had never heard of him either but this album is real nice. He's a clever and MC, and the songs are clearly very personal to him. If you havent yet,  check this one

7 - Pack FM - I Fuckin' Hate Rappers

(http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRn8DgkLBjFSqQOd27lhat9dIHV9LIbrIYwNBXsaLs8Gatp2yB-4A)

Pack was clearly pissed when he started this one, and that mood runs through the entire album. And hey it's QN5, so how can you go wrong (oh, unless its a new Cunninlynguists album - oh yer, I went there)

8 - Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot

(http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/.a/6a00d8341c630a53ef013485399a45970c-300wi)

Really not my sort of Hip Hop, but the quality is just to high to ignore. Love the upbeat stuff on this album. Big Boi is often over shadowed by his more eccentric partner. Well, he shouldn't be

9 - Homeboy Sandman - The Good Sun

(http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQgo4k776osMT56xbzdUaO438w4prv3ehuu5DSz85TJFYD8ToHXQg)

Looking for something different? I mean, REAL different, get onto Sandy. Once again a great example of why the AOK Collective is one of my fave crews right now

10 - Lex Starwing - The Outlaw Star

(http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQn2eX8CCQXjgo1JM0fmPvpRe6cFhEyY7_QDDnbM2ROiIb8LrTl2w)

Sounds more like a comic book. I thought the same the same thing til I stumbled upon him and John Murdoch. Cannot wait til they drop the Foundation album. Hard, angry shit. Right up my alley

*EDIT*

Ok i'm adding an 11 cos where going into 2011 errrrrr (truth is i was at the gym, a track came on and "Shit, how could I forget this"

11- Purpose - Better than Your Album

(http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRzq9zGk0ZRApk4oI5bYBT-32T4vepaIZ7J7NIfsiq4OvS1rVeB)

Picture a young Nas, with a dash of AZ, and sprinkle of Prodigy (pre the J Zay molestation) and you have Purpose. Now, Im not saying this guy will have those kind of careers, but this is a fantastic "mix tape"

Just having a listen to this. Love the intros/samples used in Wack Juice haha.

I'm loving the Running Man samples used throughout as well lol.

Posted: 31 Dec 2010, 1:55pmrecoveredSubject: Re: Hip Hop!
B & Q....nice lists indeed. As most of you know I'm not a massive Celph fan, I will still be putting that album at No.1. Shit is bananas.
Now after that humble pie statement, time to go and have a thought on the other nine. :)
Posted: 31 Dec 2010, 2:32pmrecoveredSubject: Re: Hip Hop!
Kyle, i want a real one. Khem, interested in yours too. Looking forward to seeing yours as well Anz
Posted: 31 Dec 2010, 2:35pmrecoveredSubject: Re: Hip Hop!
i can only think of a couple of real standouts at the moment, will need to go thru my ipod and see what else i rated this year.

:)
Posted: 2 Jan 2011, 7:54pmrecoveredSubject: Re: Hip Hop!
well.......... in doing some research to find out what other stuff i had that came out this year, i found about 30+ albums of stuff i didnt even know came out. in doing so, i have also found a couple of sweet sources for my rss feed to make sure i dont sleep on too much stuff in 2011!

rjd2's new one, rass kass mix tape, another murs/9th joint, a new jake one thing, a new royce mix tape... the 9th wonder and dj premier compilations, "new" big l... loads more...

without listening to the releases i slept on, i managed to nail down a top 5 without adding any sub par bits to pad it out to 10

(http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR_IFMeVAu4iFSriWB8XzUEdHyzFpC8Q7ejolbGciKPfqIXf3pa)

1 - celph titled + buckwild - nineteen ninety now

what else needs to be said? classic sounding beats, and celph absolutely killing it on each and every track. not gonna get sick of this one for a long long time. easily the best album of any genre i listened to this year.

(http://passionweiss.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/the-roots-how-i-got-over-album-cover.jpg)

2 - the roots - how i got over

everything the roots does is amazing, to the point now where their amazing stuff just sounds like standard for the roots. i wasnt blown away by it like i was with some of their earlier stuff, but its still pure quality from one of the best groups in the game.

(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sGGuc8ywWek/TCjwuu7h9uI/AAAAAAAAD6Q/Dy4Csb1JooU/s400/Marco+Polo+-+The+Stupendous+Adventures+Of+Marco+Polo+COVER.jpg)

3 - the stupendous adventures of marco polo

really digging marco polo's production, he is about as "primo" you can get without being primo... not too bad for a white dude. enjoyed this a lot more than his joint with ruste juxx, maybe not quite as much as the thing with torae, but i really cant wait for port authourity 2.

(http://no-trivia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ghostface-apollo-kids-1.jpg)

4 - ghostface - apollo kids

i am a massive ghostface fan, so i wasnt disappointed to hear that i would be getting my yearly dose of tony starks. it may sound like more of the same from ghostface, but if it aint broke...

(http://www.phuturelabs.com/word/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/BestLaidPlansFRONT.jpg)

5 - ronin - best laid plans (free album) (http://www.phuturelabs.com/word/downloads/ronin_bestlaidplans.zip)

awesome instrumental hip hop/down tempo album from some unknown producer called ronin from the uk. definitely worth checking out if you are into the old dj shadow/ninja tunes kinda stuff.
Posted: 2 Jan 2011, 8:37pmrecoveredSubject: Re: Hip Hop!
That Ronin joint is awesome. Pretty much the kind of stuff I'm listening to on rotation at the moment along with Guts, Wax Tailor and Star Slinger.

Top ten up tomorrow.  :)
