I have never heard anyone around me talk about him or mention him, but I think he deserves some recognition. I mean, he has been in the music scene since the late 90's. He has produced for many rappers: Busta, Snoop, G-Unit peoples, The Game, the Cons, and Murs just to name a few. Maybe it's just me who doesn't give him enough credit but I finally got to listen to his 2010 album, You Need This Music, in its entirety and I have to say the production is on point. It gives me what I love most, SOUL BEATS. He's not the greatest rapper, and I don't expect him to be, but I like it. Pretty much every song has a feature and you can even find some beats that are reminiscent of Jay Dilla (I Still Love You is the same sample as Dilla's U-Love). If you listen to his lyrics he actually mentions Dilla a lot, so there's an obvious connection (they knew each other) and respect for him. Anyways, enough of my rant, here are a couple of track I like from the album.<br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/W_ybxoKE8QM" allowfullscreen="" width="560" frameborder="0" height="315"></iframe><br /><br />This is actually the original version, if you listen to the album version the lyrics are a bit different.<br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/0MT5e2XI82Y" allowfullscreen="" width="560" frameborder="0" height="315"></iframe><br /><br />He also released an EP with Asher Roth called Rawth for free. Google it and give it a listen. Nottz's "You Need This Music" is available for stream on spotify if you guys want to give it a listen.KeaneSisoukhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08587914746454679183noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068211183338239173.post-54478378873335676692012-02-22T00:49:00.000-08:002012-02-22T00:54:46.218-08:00Cole World No Snuggie!To celebrate his 2 millionth follower, J.

DMC stands for Disco Mix Club, which was the original event organizers. Long sponsored by Technics, the winners would win a pair of golden 1200s and the SH-EX mixer. Around the end of 2010, Technics stopped producing turntables, so Rane / Serato took over as the main sponsor and allowed the use of serato for the competitions, which was until then purely analog and vinyl only. With the change of sponsors and end production of Technics turntables (which is why they are a lot more expensive new now), Rane gives the winner a cash prize and a golden Rane mixer. So who has participated in these competitions up until now? Dj Q-Bert along with MixMaster Mike has won twice (1992,93), DJ Cash Money has won once(1988), and DJ Craze has won a consecutive 3 times (98-00). DJ Craze has set the record for 3 wins and no one has beat it in the World DJ Champion division. As I forgot to mention, but should be apparent from the listed DJ's, DMC isn't much of a mixing competition, but more of a scratching / making weird noises competition. It didn't start so, but it ended as so.

With that many people you'd think that you would be able to find at least 10 people at a University to form a club around Hip Hop, but you can't. I'm not saying that Perth hates hip hop, just the University that I went to. But I digress, Perth holds many rap oriented concerts, with rap battles every month (but a ridiculous entrance fee), concerts from local rappers, concerts with rappers from America about every two months (still regret missing Wu Tang), and big all day concert events every so often. I personally only met a handful of people that openly listened to hip hop. One guy told me it was due to it being only a fad in Perth and it's not something you can club to, which made perfect sense.<br /><br />Anyways, I honestly can't listen to Australian rap. I can't get over the accent. It's like how I don't like listening to Eminem because I don't like his vhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifoice. Don't get me wrong though, he kills it on the mic, but given the choice I don't listen to him. But I will still present to you guys, Australian Battle Rap. I mean, making fun of people is universal right? Actually, that's wrong. I can only understand so much when they start busting out British / Australian slang. You'll see what I mean when you peep the video down on the bottom.<br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/eJr3zk9j04Y" allowfullscreen="" width="560" frameborder="0" height="315"></iframe><br /><br />If you want to check out more hip hop from Perth check out <a href="http://www.perthunderground.com.au/">www.perthunderground.com.au</a>KeaneSisoukhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08587914746454679183noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068211183338239173.post-81264713617635495502012-01-28T21:06:00.000-08:002012-01-28T22:21:05.465-08:00The Luther Burger<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT-lDfi9Yp7ovpo_u6pRIcY8lI6N6GnwGWccpYRf0KMsYzH9x2uDJNv-IHrfhAkp6hJ6yrCXbAfDtVoosh4ZIYBa4xmIPAV_K6TpgK1VEwIMCgov7An9-nSw49Ak_eYmqL_QFPiqoaUMg8/s1600/boondocks.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 108px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT-lDfi9Yp7ovpo_u6pRIcY8lI6N6GnwGWccpYRf0KMsYzH9x2uDJNv-IHrfhAkp6hJ6yrCXbAfDtVoosh4ZIYBa4xmIPAV_K6TpgK1VEwIMCgov7An9-nSw49Ak_eYmqL_QFPiqoaUMg8/s200/boondocks.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702922055972157010" border="0" /></a><br />In commemoration of Hip Hop Congress selling Krispy Kreme, I present the "Luther Burger". For those of you who watch The Boondocks, yes, this is the burger Grandad made for his restaurant. It consists of a 4lb burger, grilled onions, cheese and 5 pieces of bacon, all put between two Krispy Kreme donuts. According to Grandad, it was supposed to have been invented by "Mr. Luther Vandross" himself.<br /><br />To relate this to hip-hop though, the opening of the Boondocks is by Asheru.<br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/WgRGpbVYZz0" allowfullscreen="" width="420" frameborder="0" height="315"></iframe><br /><br />Google him for more songs.KeaneSisoukhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08587914746454679183noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068211183338239173.post-48957971023627180952012-01-26T03:20:00.001-08:002012-01-26T03:37:09.157-08:00Q, A$AP, CHIEF, PUSHATell me you have Schoolboy Q's tape Habits & Contradictions already. <br />Download it <a href="http://hulkshare.com/dolekzyn18k4">here</a> if not. <br /><br />Here's a track featuring A$AP Rocky. <br />Hands on the Wheel - ScHoolboy Q ft.

<br />
The Wu-Tang show in Anaheim last week was pretty dope. Though there were some random openers, the clan came on and didn't disappoint. Towards the end of the show Method Man decided to dedicate a song or two to a fallen member of the Clan ODB, 'Ol Dirty Bastard. ODB passed away back in '04, and though he had a few run ins with the law, his music still has a large presence today. His album ' Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version' is stacked with hard hitting instrumentals unique to the clan. If you have a few minutes I would suggest giving the album a listen even if you already have.<br />
