Little Update Ting

I've looked through my blog and come to the decision that there could possibly be too much bashment on here. I've decided to dedicate this post to some other stuff that has caught my ear/eye recently.

Hold tight Giggs finally getting his own club banger to his name. Track 9 aka Talking The Hardest was a freestyle in 07, dunned dances in 08, still knocks bloody hard. Look What The Cat Dragged in gets numerous wheels. Giggs' ability to jockey a beat leads me to believe he is the ONLY rapper that can handle a dancehall riddim. Giggs better know (female) arse is better than breast.



On a related note, Shadrack and the Mandem have built up a serious rep on the underground and Internet through their videos depicting life on the roadside. The video boasts appearances from street heavyweights Pecknarm rapper Giggs and Jaja Soze from PDC. Beat bangs, video's hard, lyrics heartfelt. Say nada



Yup, it's that time again where I blog about Ed Sheeran. Said it in the last post about him, get familiar with the name and voice 'cause you'll be seeing a lot of him around this blogside. I'll never forget the day I first heard this song on his EP. Instant repeat. In fact, I don't remember hearing the second song off the EP until the second time I listened to the CD, because I'd reached home by the time I'd heard 'The A Team' over 10 times, no hype. Some real emotional soul music right here.



I haven't done an opinionated piece recently. Main thing consuming my brain is politics, and I won't be entering that on here. LONG TING! I'm gonna do one this week. Find I usually tweet my good ideas then forget to blog. Follow me @MarvinSparks. I'm gonna upload some interviews I did, but never posted here in the next few days.

Marvin Sparks x Raekwon interview

Wu-Tang's in-house "Chef" better known as Raekwon proved he is still a force to be mentioned alongside the hottest rappers in the hip hop game with the release of Only Built For Cuban Linx... pt. II - sequel to his 1995 debut album. Marvin Sparks caught up with the hip hop legend to discuss rapping for drug dealers, people caring "more about stats than raps", his inclusion in MTV's Top 10 Hottest Rappers list, and converting to Islam. Marvin Sparks: It has been almost fifteen years since the first Only Built For Cuban Linx, an album that was a 5-mic classic when The Source magazine held weight. Why did you decide make a sequel?

White band win Reggae Grammy x Koffee x Skillibeng

So a white American reggae band called Soja won the Best Reggae album award at the Grammy's? And you care because? You feel Jamaicans are losing reggae because the Grammy's (a white institution) gave their white American man award to a white American reggae band? You blame the Jamaican government for not showing enough love and support to the music because this is the result? But you don't realise you are giving the Grammy's that much power and don't see where the problem lies? Well let me tell you; the problem is within you. I understand the outrage. Jamaicans built the music and are rarely compensated for all the hard graft. There have been countless examples of the music being used by someone else, often to better results because we live in an ignorant and racist Western world. Historically, white reggae artists like The Police or UB40 are able to achieve better results in the white man's world than reggae artists that are far superior to them. Bruno Mars , J...
