Generic list post: october 2014

DJ Spiral ft. Lauren Moran - Working Me Out
(From YouTube; 2013)


Round-up post of the songs I've been listening to during the month when it was discovered that Spiral from series 7 of Big Brother bodied the entire UK House revival with a single song.

Jay Ant - Ask YB (2014)
Puffy Dee - Joe Blow (1985)
DJ Quik ft. Cadillac Tweed & Suga Free - Broken Down (2014)
Vic Spencer ft. TREE - Profound (2013)
A-Wax - Bundle (2014)
Rich Gang - Flava (2014)
BeatKing & Gangsta Boo - Dirty Hoe (2014)
Legit Ballaz - Ride Slow (2006)
Wash ft. French Montana - Can't Trust Thots (2014)
Lil' Chris - Sick & Tired (2014)
T.I. ft. Boosie - Jet Fuel (2014)
Jae Murphy ft. Game, Eric Bellinger & Problem - You Playin' (This Could Be Us) (2014)
HD of Bearfaced ft. G-Dirty - Don't Like Me (2014)
Grip Plyaz - Flexin' (2014)
Fergie ft. YG - L.A Love (La La) remix (2014)

Had a minor epiphany with Don't Trust Thots after hearing it at one of Westwood's parties a couple of weeks back and decided it's not the Lidl-value Loyal but the Aldi-manuka honey-value Loyal: a cheapo version that's actually way tastier than the real thing. £4.29, y'all!

The FREE BANDMAN KEVO campaign starts here

Jeez, what's the world coming to when a man can't even fund his aspiring rap career with the proceeds of credit card fraud anymore? An anonymous FBI source we spoke to about the Bandman Kevo case estimates that Kevo spunked at least $300,000 of the $639,745 he stole on those hotels/cars/models he hired in Miami for the Baller In Me video:

Bandman Kevo - Baller In Me
(From Baller In Me single; 2014)


RiFF RaFF got away scot-free after swindling thousands of dollars out of countless naive MySpace rappers in return for graphic design work he never had any intention of fulfilling, yet Bandman Kevo gets bagged for conspiracy to commit bank fraud? Damn, AmeriKKKa. Devils get up offa Kevo and free that man so he can make more songs where he sounds like a constipated ZMoney straining to squeeze a rabbit's dropping-sized turd out of his blocked-up arsehole. The power of Sen Dog compels you!

'Cause I got that old Big Tymers up in my deck"

HD of Bearfaced ft. G-Dirty - Don't Like Me
(From the upcoming Team Guapele album; 2014)


I was like "me too!" True story, this beat is an unreleased Carl Craig remix of Messy Marv's It's Funk.

Skool's out (for now)

Skooly - Lighter
(From the internet; 2014)


Skooly's talents lie in his sanging and his ear for pop, so this new rap-de-rappiner, more unorthodox direction his solo career has taken thus far in 2014 on Situation and his latest cut Lighter has got me feelin' some type of way. It is, of course, all Young Thug's fault - partially due to his influence dictating that every Atlanta rapper under the age of 25 must now make self-consciously weird shit, but mainly because he's nicked all of former-Rich Kidz production mainstay London On Da Track's best beats from under Skooly's nose for his own outings with Rich Homie Quan, Baby, and T.I.

Which is kinda ironic really since T.I.'s Cruisin' was a fairly audacious Skooly rip-off that's now turned out to be better than any of the songs Skooly has leaked from his own long-touted Blac John Gotti solo project. Like I suggested previously, Cruisin' deserved a far better fate than being buried on an otherwise unremarkable latter-day T.I. album:

T.I. - Cruisin'
(From Trouble Man: Heavy Is The Head album; 2012)

Roc-A-Fella was the army, better yet the navy, OVO is an Islamic terrorist organisation?

Think about it, yo: Drake's woefully unfunny carrot-bearded fat mate is clearly one of those Anglo-Saltine ginger jihadists who've been in the news recently. It remains unclear whether dude's goal is the destruction of America or just the brainwashing of U.S citizens into accepting inferior Canadian imports of their own artists/finding ‘zany’ Canadian comedy funny, but Abu Ham-face is clearly orchestrating the whole OVO operation whilst public-face Drake is little more than a trojan horse concealing some very unsavory intentions.

The likes of Juicy J, Project Pat, and Angelica Charrupi have already let themselves be patronised on camera by Jacques Klopek here in return for some screen time in a Drake video, thus America only has itself to blame when Madchild from Swollen Members guests on Tha Carter 5 and Mindbender Futurama infiltrates the U.S porn industry.

Generic list post: sequels edition

Apropos of me not wanting a post about Papa Roach being the first thing anyone sees if they accidentally stumble upon this site for the first time this weekend, here's a quick generic list of some great rap sequel songs which are either better than the songs which spawned them or worthy part deuxes to legitimate classics.

Jacoby's ladder

Yo, I love when bloggers think they bigger than a sumo, that's when I hit 'em with a little Puerto Rican judo: oh, jou don't know Warriors by Papa Roach & Royce Da 5'9 is the best thing the latter has been involved in since Shake This? And jou don't know that it's also the first good rawk song since Linkin Park's Breaking The Habit? And jou don't know Jacoby Shaddix kicked the fat ethnic drummer out of Papa Roach because he's a racist? And jou don't know Papa Roach somehow didn't turn out to be nonces after Ian Watkins-gate even though the Last Resort video is a Mickey Mars Bar's wank-fantasy clip?

Papa Roach ft. Royce Da 5'9 - Warriors

Note to rappers

If you're gonna make a song about a topic as boring as smoking weed, make sure you sound like you've just smoked crack on it. Case in point:

T.I ft. Boosie - Jet Fuel
(From T.I.'s Paperwork album; 2014)


Is it safe to conclude that the old Boosie is officially back after Crazy, his verse on Beat Up The Block, and his cameo here?
