These Thoughts

Title inspired by this Natasha Beddingfield 'These Words' which doubles up as this today Real Badman Never Afraid



UK's leading r&b Caramel Long Ride

Hold tight comedy double act KG and Marston going in yet again.



Willow Smith > your gran's sunday roast

Jacked from PinBoard. Yeah I went there. And mi nah tek back no talk no time. I saw this chick on BBC's The One Show back on the promo trail for Karate Kid. The whole family were on there but she commanded the show. Heard the song and thought "Damn, she went in with this ridiculous banger. Wonder what she sounds like live..." Well here is the live performance.



Gobsmacked!

Tinchy + gang proclaim "Game Over"

So all the talk has been who has the best verse. I don't think anyone did a bad job really. Wouldn't say anyone did an extremely good verse either hence why I think there are so many different opinions on who has the best verse. Make of that what you will. For me, I'm gonna say Tinie Tempah. His delivery his clear, concise and even the "Ishi distort the bass" makes his verse stand out to me. One word reviews: Example = surprised, Giggs = repped, Pro Green = strong, Chipmunk = unusual, Devlin = venomous, Tinchy = improvement



Look out for the next version of this with a few more underground artists. Tinchy you deserve a spud for it.

Sway says "Nah bruv, fk that, Game Over for you man. Try not include me"

Friend of Marvin Sparks dot blog spot dot com (scroll down to the comments in this post), UK rapper Sway felt left out "So I'm gonna do the opposite. Wait what's the opposite of left out? I'mma just go right in, no writing..."!!! Let's pause the track right there. Instant reload on the drop? He goes all the way in. For the record, this is not breddin, I've never ever said Sway can't rap. Hasn't made a good album, probably, but never can't rap.





Thrwoback Tune of the Day: Ruff Ryders 'Down Bottom'

Futhamucka! This tune is on a next level! Drag-On has to be the most underrated rapper on the Ruff Ryders roster. His flow and bars were insane on this! Swizz Beats was the man these times. I think he deserves a FlashBack Friday post. I used to write the Ruff Ryders logo on all my school books at school. This is when hip hop was really rebellious. They taught me how to pronounce motherfornicator properly. Before them I'd say muvvaf'ka. Who says music doesn't teach the kids?

Didn't even know they had a video for this. Imagine that. This hard hip hop song had a video. Wouldn't happen today. Too many politically correct rappers making music for women. No harm in making music for women but not when it's your main focus. And it's hip hop. Traditionally testerone filled hip hop.

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...
