Nas rapping like it was 1994

The Carter IV dropped a few weeks ago and sold over a million in its first week out - Lil Wayne apparently still got fans after the horrible Rebirth... I haven't got around to listen to the full album yet, but herd this star filled track today. It's an OK beat but there are two other reason I had to post it here:

1) Nas verse that is just sick. When God's son is rapping like this he's as good or better than anyone. Too bad it doesn't happen that often no more...

2) The fact that the forgotten Shyne features. All the years behind bars has made most people forget about him, but his album Shyne from 2000 is still really really good.



And for all of you who'd forgot about Shyne

Slap the bass !

You may or may not know but Bob Hurts and I have a thing for a bouncy bass line played without a pick and just properly slapped about.
Well - the intro to this tune could well be one of the funkiest MFs I've heard in a while.

Rest of the tune is not bad, not bad at all. But the intro, OMFG. Haven't heard of Moonlight Matters before but it's apparently a Belgian one-man-band signed t Kitsune (hat's off). Listen more on their soundcloud channel. Def. on my radar from now on!

Heard on set

This was my office for today,


and this was my soundtrack.



Over and out.

White sun

Found this song by Dawn Golden and Rosy Cross in a Shlomo mix, quite nice, especially those Lil Jon sounding "Yeeeay".

Old school

Not that often I post something swedish here, but I heard this Infinite Mass classic for the first time in years a couple of days ago. It's a really good track, but the video is an EPIC re-make of Scarface that I just couldn't spare you. And Rodde is actually quite alike Al Pacino..

RIP

The fenomenal DJ Mehdi sadly passed away today...

Long time no see

Ok, time to get back up in this. I'm ashamed over my own inactivity lately, leaving it all to Bob. I'm taking an easy (but way to late) way into this by giving you a few of my favourite tracks from the 3 rap acts on way out West in august. My plan was to write this before the actual festival, not after. But here it is.

Wiz Khalifa
I thought he gave a good concert with a lot of energy. He mainly did his college-party-drink-smoke-fuck-rap, but he can do heavier things as well - as the tracks below.





MF Doom
I've always been a huge Doom fan, so it was fun getting the chance to see him. But to be honest the concert itself was so so - bad sound and Doom's chorus-less songs isn't optimal for a live performance.





Kanye West
Kanye's concert was just as blown up as you would have thought for a guy with such a huge ego. It was a quite fun spectacle, but I thought it lost too much tempo when he was living out his soul singer dream through the voice decoder. For me the concert peaked when Pusha-T came on and did his verse on Runaway (by the way quite crazy that a rapper of that calibre rides around the world with Kanye to rap 1 min every night...).





(Ok, the 2pac predecessor as well)

Has it come to this

Simple but massive

Audio, Video, Disco

The album drops on the 25th of October, I am a bit doubtful but it's going to be interesting.
