Shower Down Saturday

Exhibit A: Maxsta sends for Chipmunk

Today's post title is dedicated to this. "Showering down" = rapping seriously good lyrics. I jacked this Grime Daily exclusive from Soul Culture - ironic, much (soul as my source for grime)? I'm not grime so I only know this story as far back as Chipmunk allegedly getting Maxsta removed from Pow 2011.

Tinchy Stryder's signing Maxsta gives more reasons why he doesn't like Chipmunk

"You try badmind me to Colin (think he say Colin anyway)/ Try badmind me to Terror Danja/ Like it's my fault Mz Bratt broke you heart..."

Wow is all I can say to this. He will have the whole scene behind him for this.



Chipmunk must be thinking "Again... and again... oops here we go again". Dot, Grim, Lowkey now this? Cussing man's mum was a bit far though

As grimestress Hyperfrank wrote: "Now the music market has shifted to a more harder sound being embraced, the real question is, can chipmunk have the same success or will he need the underground to support him? The same underground he laughed at when he was high in the charts. Only time will tell."

I've always wondered if dissin people when you're successful in a fickle market like pop and you aren't of Dizzee's stature where he doesn't rely on underground to support him at all, him laughing at underground will matter in the long run. Then you look at Tinchy Stryder, who embraces the underground, regardless of liking his commercial songs people haven't written Game Over off as an attempt to gain street cred. I'm guessing/hoping Chipmunk has a song to hit everything out of the gate forcing people to playing it or dissin the underground + (possibly more importantly) walking out of his major label contract (if that is true) could lead to tough times for the Chipster. Saying that, there are rumours he has a track with Chris Brown. If so, everyone will shut up. I'm neutral in this. I wonder where Tinchy will stand on this...

UPDATE

His initial response via Twitter:

"DESE MUTHA FUCKAZ MAD DAT IM IIIIIIIICEY! Lol #FlyingHigh" [source]

But you will have noticed the video has been taken down

Chipmunk have anything to do with it?

"No one man should have all that POWER!!! #FlyingHigh" [source]

My response = BAWSE!

If you missed it, never fear, Once Upon a Grime are here.



You can d/l from here. Safe for using my audio of J Cole x P Money here.

UPDATE

Grime Daily have re-upped



Dr. Dre 'Kush'

Didn't hit me first time but now? Now?! Yo, this tune goes hard! I just wanna jump and prawns around the place on a crip walk ting. Jacked from PinBoard

Question: Is that really Nate Dogg? I swear he lost his voice due to the stroke or is that an evil internet rumour? If it isn't a rumour, this tune must be old.

Random one, I wondered what happened to Akon the other day.

And last thing, Snoop's first line is probably the best bar from him in a while.

Sidenote: Just remembered Akon said he's going to start a reggae label when I spoke to him in '08. What happened to it? Lady Gaga money musta distracted. Can't say I blame him. That money would distract me too.

I'd LOVE J. Cole to spit on this! To be honest, I'd love to him to rap over every beat to be honest.

Here's a (cheap) behind the scenes at the vid. Don't get your Cous' on me cous, I'm only messin about, cous! :)

Duss Riddim medley video

Got this in an email. Hold tight Kirk Lee and Roadblock films, you man are doing a lot! Papi's (Popcaan) tune is my one. Kartel's one go ard still. And for its purpose Gaza Slim's one is good for the ladies.



Oh yeah, Rihanna is continuing on to trample on these other female artists out (except Nicki Minaj maybe) there by saying the right things to me continuously. Check her talking about who she'd like to collaborate with



Sway 'Wow 2011'

So it finally dropped and he still hasn't heard word back from Lethal Bizzle. Premiered on 1Xta DJ Semtex's show last night. Sem never asked how Sway felt about Kano dropping his freestyle first.



p.s. it's pointless trying to read the lyrics along with the song. Like really pointless. I still wonder what he would have done on the proper Pow 2011.

Oh and here's a CDQ (CD quality) version of Kano's 'Pow 2011 Dench edition' (DENCH is the new slang Lethal's pushing meaning good/powerful) jacked from Soul Culture.

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

Bounty Killer vs Vybz Kartel - Father vs. Son

Unlike Ele vs Flippa this war actually has substance. If you don't know here's a brief: After being written a few songs by said artist, Bounty Killer (Killa) introduces and mentors (sons) Vybz Kartel Kartel appeared & performed at Beenie Man (Killer's arch-enemy since 190-long) wedding Kartel declares emancipation from Bounty Killer-led Alliance camp stressing the need to grow his own wings to fly Killer calls Kartel ungrateful Mavado and Kartel war begins, Killer makes a whole heap of subliminal songs directed at Kartel... Kartel has made a few songs directly dissin Killer, but Killer never really outright replied causing many and even Kartel ( Click for Vybz Kartel dissin Alliance "Suck pu**y Killer can't diss me" ) to suspect the once fearless Killer was running scared of the 'War Angel' aka Gaza yout' Vybz Kartel. Killer finally plucked up the courage to send shots at Kartel But most notably with Chatta Box Vybz Kartel allegedly missed a b
