Nicki Minaj joins Kanye to perform Monster jacked from Soul Culture

Well apart from fancying every inch of Nicki Minaj from the top of her head to her ankles (never seen her feet, but not a big fan of feet. Call me immature, I'll just sulk. Big deal), her shape is out of the galaxy. I don't care if it's fake, it looks real and there aren't any receipts so until then it's down to genetics.



Hip hop fans that criticise dancehall for being slack are hypocrites. I bet you see nothing wrong with his sexually explicit content on this song. But something I've always wondered is how does it feel to sing "N**ga" looking in the face of a bunch of white people? I cringe whenever I play a white person a hip hop song with that word. I know this is an age old discussion... but this is my blog, nah? Awoe!

Random Tune of the Day: Alanis Morrisette 'One Hand In My Pocket'

This tune goes hard. This and 'Ironic' (which will probably be another Random Tune of the Day) were the ones.



Students riot to Serani 'No Games'

Student protests in London: A street-level view of the day

Fires, fights and parties break out as a new generation of young protesters take their anger over education cuts to the streets of Whitehall. WARNING: This video contains strong language










I enjoyed that coverage. Shout out whoever made that. Love that they play Serani 'No Games'. That's so big! Wasn't even a major commercial success over here if we are to judge a hit by songs.

Throwback Tune of the Day: Jadakiss 'Put Your Hands Up'

One of my all-time favourite Jadakiss songs ever! Went in doesn't even sum it up. The flows, bars, punches, metaphors, wordplay... all present on a high level.

"And I'mma get Bucks like Milwaukee cos like Sam I Cassell (can sell)" went over my head for years. Thought he said "Like Sam I can sell" therefore assuming it was a reference to someone I don't know until I found out there was a basketball player called Sam Cassell that played for Milwaukee Bucks. Most of these rappers couldn't dream of writing something on that level. A punchline and metaphor with sick wordplay all in one.



Randomly remembered the Beanie Sigel to Jada diss record on this beat



Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh man, hip hop was the shit back then.

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
