Well the updates are coming thick and fast now aren't they. Its a pity noone checks this site any more, but fuck it - I haven't got much else better to do right now. Besides, I've invented a bunch of imaginary internet friends that i pretend browse this site. Apart from being the ultimate achievement in the field of pathetic, it keeps things rolling nicely. I'll introduce you (by you, i mean me) to the cast of characters over the coming weeks. That should be a laugh total waste of time.
Anyway, This is the filmclip for "Jacobs Ladder", off of Mortars forthcoming album Sacred Geometry. The propaganda for which you can see to the left of this text.
More new shit, this time from Royce Da 5'9". This has popped up all over the internets, so being the popularity leach that I am, I thought I would follow the trend and post it up here too. I'm also changing my name to Headlock Da 6'3".
This track was produced by Nottz and is off the soon to be released Bar Exam 2 mixtape.
Some new Wu has surfaced on the net, and the verdict.... Banging
A big deal has been made about the use of this sample, and getting it cleared. Apparently they haven't actually, directly, sampled the song - but have used an "interpolation" instead. According to Billboard.com:
"Rather than a sample of the Beatles' "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," the Clan's "The Heart Gently Weeps" actually features an "interpolation" of the track, with new recordings by George Harrison's son Dhani, the Red Hot Chili Peppers' John Frusciante and soul vocalist Erykah Badu."
"(Harrison) himself helped secure the reuse license," Wu-Tang says in a statement, adding that its song will be streamed tonight on Loud.com and will serve as the first single from "The 8 Diagrams."
Of course Ghostface has already smashed this once before on "My Guitar", although that was never officially released afaik.
Anyway, Here is the new one for your listening pleasure.
Wu Tang Clan ft. Erykah Badu - The Heart Gently Weeps
We were lucky enough to have some guests on Tuesday night. Jehst & Micall Parknsun dropped by to speak on their music, tour and other things of interest. Below is an interview followed by a freestyle session with Moshuns and Delta backing them up.
Not much more to say about it really, other than you should download and listen to it forthwith.
"gtfohaghawos" I made that internet acronym up myself. It stands for "get the fuck out of here and go have a wank or something"... I'm hoping it will catch on.
I'm bored again, and this time its a strong ass coffee thats got me buzzing. So I thought I'd post about Pegz new album, "Burn City". I just got this shit last night, Kirk gave it to me. Putting it that way makes it sound like some kind of STD or something.
"whats up with cold sore headlock?" "I just got this shit last night, Kirk gave it to me"
(no homo)
But its not an STD. Its a rap album, and thank fuck for that - cause i dont think i could deal with any more medication in my life right now.
I'm a big fan of Pegz work. Axis, for my money, was one of the best Australian releases ever.. umm released. So this one has to be good or i'll be sending the trained vampire bats after him.
cook the man some fuckin pegz woman
I'm going to conduct this review in pro / con dot point format.
Pros * Pegz is the best lyricist in the country hands down, and continues to earn that title here * Some genuinely great tracks. "Block to Block", "No Attachments", "Diligent Music" and "I dont need your judgement" all win. * The average and less than stellar tracks are still better than 80% of what else is out there * Some excellent guest appearances. Funkoars, Vents and Planet Asia are standouts * Some fantastic production by Suffa and particularly Jase * Probably does not cause cancer
Cons * The 2 guest vocalists (ie. singers) could've done better. Perhaps its the mixing, but it just doesn't sound right. * Draphts guest verse * Interlude is pointless. Its like that one guy thats in the photo, and noone knows who he is, but he's really happy to be there.
Thats about it. The cons are really nitpicks. There isn't anything too much wrong with the singing, it just could've been better maybe. Likewise there is nothing wrong with the interlude, apart from the fact it doesn't add anything and you'll probably skip it every time. Draphts verse... well that is a bit crap. Not the worst thing ever by any means, just not exactly good either. Brings the track down is what i'm saying. It sounds like it was mixed wrong, or the mic didn't agree with him, or something... cause his voice sounds even more high pitched than normal. When that verse started, my dog attacked me and one of the windows shattered. He seems pretty bored in his delivery and he also drops this bomb: "like bruce lee in rumble in the bronx".
ooooohhhhh snap
Anyway on a scale of 10, i'm giving this a 9. Go pick it up.
