Doing It To Death

When the Grim Reaper gets on the good foot and sticks his toe in my arse, feel free to have a whip around to pay MC Hammer to dance at my funeral. Please, please, please tell me there's full footage of this Hammer tribute to James Brown?

Grandads, we love you (part 2)

Nine & Dex - Morgan Freeman
(From YouTube; 2025)


The ghostwriting grandson's of Pete & Bas return with a track which is pretty much Pecan Pie part two. The great chalky hopes are back with bars and bars like Tim Martin. LMFAO @ "and if he wanna keep playin' with the big bro then his whole family's f**ked like he's in Bread." U.K Rap exists solely to keep me amused with punchlines about Scouse shitcoms from the 1980s.

He wanna bang-bang, but when he see me in the streetz he call me gang gang

"If a n*gga cheat on me, ima cheat back
Ain't no bitch f*ckin' wit' me, I'll swat her like a gnat
If you ever kissed my n*gga just know you eatin' ass
I might lend you that n*gga just to show I'll get him back
I ain't never been no pussy, but this pussy straight gat
I got that that FIYA FIYA FIYA from the back"

Sunnitharapper ft. OnlyHeaven - Shake Down
(From Shake Down single; 2025)


Just when I thought I was gonna spend the entire week listening to nothing but The Cramps' early shit and Wham's Everything She Wants, some XXXtra p0rnish bird-Bounce pulls me back in. If I die 2nite, let my gravestone say He could never escape Rap music. Warning: this song features a very unexpected Oochie Wally interpolation when our 2 hosts are rhyming about the hoochie coochie.

Doo Doo Whop Is Strong In Here

WNC Whop Bezzy ft. 70th Street Carlos - WTF I Look Like
(From YouTube; 2025)


Ain't it grand when some faves who fell off hard manage to recapture the old magic? I'm down with WNC, yeah you know me. Boosie FatAzz & his Bezzy m8 back on their Berserker-Bounce shit. This song sounds like the hottest thing from the Wild West to come outta the South.

FINALLY SOME SONGS BY SOME BRITISH BREHS HAVE COME BACK TO THE MARTORIALIST!

Ceebo - Jook
(From Jook single; 2025)


SL ft. Knucks & Sainte - Summertime
(From Summertime single; 2025)


Two U.K Rap songs which are all up in my ears & eyes right now. Both of them givin' me specific vybz I can't get from any current American Rap songs. Which is the whole point of U.K Rap innit. Otherwise why does U.K Rap need to exist?

PS: if we sacrifice Howie B to a volcano can we get Hitman Howie Tee back? HHT was born in London which possibly explains why he was able to integrate Reggae into Rap better than most of his 'Murican contemporaries. For doz that slept, Howie was one of New York's great producers of the golden-era responsible for such hall of fame singles as Nothing Serious (Just Buggin') by Whistle, I Got It Made by Special Ed, Treat 'Em Right by Chubb Rock and Hickeys On Your Check by Little Shawn. For my money, tho, his best productions are two Special Ed album tracks: Taxing and Ready 2 Attack. Rest in peace to the producer whose best beats never fail to make me bust the running man even if it's just in my head. Thanx for the hits, man.

Generic list post: July 2025

Obligatory wrap-up post of those songs I've played most during the month when I can no longer find my favourite Hollywood Hogan Voodoo Child... entrance on YouTube. It's the episode of Nitro after Curt Hennig turned heel on Ric Flair at some PPV and then officially joined the n.W.o. The clip features some epic belt-guirar action from Hogan. If you got the goods, give 'em up. All that I can find is the part where Hennig takes a cup to the domepiece.

09 'til Infinity (Part 2)

JD ft. J Money, Sean Paul, BunnaB & Bankroll NI - Magic City Money
(From Money City Money single; 2025)


Well, I did say that nowadays I only like Atlanta Rap if it sounds like it's been beamed into 2025 from 2009. Futuristic Swag-Rap still sounds totally contemporary when it's handled by the right folks. Professional Rap music with Jermaine Dupri production designed for strippers to snake-charm the penises of Magic City's patrons. Gimme an extended remix of this song featuring Young Dro, Yung L.A and Juney Boomdata & Sandman.

Londyn On Da Track

Funnymike - Bust It Like Londyn
(From Bust It Like Londyn single; 2025)


I've been listening to Rap music since 1985/1986 and it still has the ability to surprise me. For example, never in a month of Ruby Tuesdays did I ever think that the internet comedian who trolled 21 Savage as 22 Savage in 2016 would drop the rowdiest Baton Rouge brawl music song of 2025. The Rouge stays undefeated at having Rap songs about fighting in the club which feature children.
