Joy

Mr West gives us another great one, this time with a beautiful Curtis Mayfield sample.

Best of 2 worlds

One of the best MC’s of 2010, Curren$y freestyling over a beat by one of the best techno/ambient/various/ghostly/notown/whatever of all time Gold Panda.



Be sure to check out Curren$y’s Pilot Talk and Gold Panda’s Lucky Shiner. Two albums that are among the top 20 of 2010.

Remedy

Crookers and Miike Snow gets a nice make over by Magik Johnson.

Rock-a-billy

I'm in the middle of nowhere, Sweden, thousands of miles from Daft Punk and mixtapes. Music though, is always present, here only in a different shape.

Fuck Me

I wish I could have taken part in this French orgy, yesterday, at Madison Square Garden.

3 for 1 revisited

The last time I gave you three versions of a thick J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League beat (here), and this time it's singer/producer Ryan Leslie's turn. I don't know much about him other than that he has produced this wicked beat (and that he featured the song in the post below) that I first found on Clipse's mixtape "Road to til' the casket drops" and later on Cory Gunz "The Best kept secret". As usual, Clipse does it like no other, but let's start of with the original song.

GGGGG-unit!

With the exception of a few bangers, I've never been a fan of Fiddy and his fellow companions (servants?) in G-unit. So when I heard Lloyd Banks was releasing an album I couldn't have been more indifferent, but then I ran in to this song the other day, and I must give it to old Lloyd - this is good.

Funny guys, right here!

As Bob already has noted here and here, Ok Go are pretty good at making impressive videos to their songs. Here's another one, and I just can't figure out why it took three years for it to get to me. It's gold Jerry, gold! And it actually has a really good song to it.

The Heat

A former Guinness Book record-holder and a chef making sweet music. The Heat will be featured on Twista’s upcoming album; The Perfect Storm

But call me uncle, uncle Cam

Cam'ron seems like a quite strange guy in many ways; he's been beefing with every rapper possible (including his co-members of Dipset), he used to wear only purple, and he's disappeared from the limelight for quite som time, only communicating through taped messages on Internet (mostly disses of course). In between all this he's done some good music - far from everything, but some. Last year dropped his first album in three years, Crime pays, containing this banger:



I'll also give you an old favorite of mine from Diplomatic Immunity vol. 1 by Dipset.



And as Cam'ron states in Clipse's Popular Demand, from now on you can call me uncle as well!

Rock is dead?

Some time ago, me and High School discussed why good solid rock is so rare these days. We never got to a conclusion, we only agreed that it's a shame. This might not be the new Zeppelin, but still nice. Heavy, psychedelic and trippy.

Not sure if I've ever seen so few hits on a video before, and it's a kind of a shame since this is a quite nice piece.

A bear totally tearing up Hakan

Found this little nugget of twisted grime/dubstep meeting a real hero of mine.

Although the original is one of my alltime favourite songs and also album, I must say that this total slaughter of Hakan's epic pop is spell binding.

I gues the vocals really go well with the aggressive beats. Kind of what Punks Jump Up did to Kent or Lykke Li.

Moullinex

Moullinex is one of my favourites when it comes to remixes. Now more and more self-titled stuff is out here, and hard not to like. If you need the jumpsuitworkout/hipswaying/can't-help-that-my-feet-are-dancing-feeling, here's to ya. Have a nice weekend!

A (techno) fish out of water

Ok, I'm not even going to claim that I know shit about hiphop in this forum, but I know what I like and I like this. It's not new stuff, but hey - it swings.

Perhaps not so surprising when brining together Biggy, Jigga and that Ratatatatatatat stuff.

For full remix albums go to Ratatat.
