MADCON - Beggin - a bit of pop 4 ya

It's not everyday that the Ainthardtotell boys rave about Hip Pop but Madcon's Beggin is one of those Hip pop tunes that only come around every few years. It had us searching like madmen to identify this ill song that we had heard on a bog standard / mainstream / payola radio show.

Some info:

Madcon (short for Mad Conspiracy) are a Norwegian based Hip Hop crew namely Tshawe Baqwa (Kapricon) and Yosef Wolde-Mariam (Critical).

The track in question Beggin is a cover of a song originally performed in 1967 by The Four Seasons featuring lead vocals by Frankie Valli.

Their new album, entitled So Dark The Con Of Man, will be released in the UK this August.

Check the video on youtube and we recommend you cop a copy of the track at your nearest store or if you are really tight here is the freebie:

Oh and the video:

Grime Spot - Week 1

Right , some Uk ish for ya,

For those not in the know, UK Hip Hop is pretty much dead and buried, regardless of what the worldwide scene might or might not be saying. The Uk Scene has just never really got it's shit together. England's one glimmer of hope seems to be the (relatively) young 'Grime' scene, you can read all about it here:

So for all the UK Fan Dem we will be dropping regular grime updates, news and mixtapes right here on AINTHARDTOTELL

Video: Classic Cam'Ron plus S.D.E. link

Cam on the phone with 50. The villainous laughter at the end is spectacular.

Cam goes for a late night cycle, if only he could make cycling cool. Save people wasting their money on rims.

The whole dipset in London with Westwood! No more needed to be said.

The forgotten Cam album but entertaining none the less. Sports, Drugs & Entertainment.

Killer Mike feat. Ice Cube - Pressure

Something real, f*ck all the other bullsh*t. If you're not into this kinda thing at least watch the video for the clip of Krs-One throwing PM Dawn of stage. Theres a few rappers that need to get thrown off stage right now. 

Killer Mike feat. Ice Cube - Pressure (via onsmash.com)

If you like, you can download the track here, thanks to xclusives zone

I also highly recommend Thats Life, click on track title to download.

Videos on my radar, plus some news that was a long time coming

Lets start with this kid Asher Roth, I wondered if the suburbs would ever get a look in. I Mean of the millions of kids not born in the hood who love hip-hop at least one of them must be able to rap right? At least this video and track are pretty amusing. You can go to his website to download the full DJ Drama mixtape 'The Greenhouse Effect'.

Asher Roth - The Roth Boys (Roc Boys Inst.)

Another kid featured before on this blog is Charles Hamilton. I like him for the fact that his freestyles are just that. Not pre written verses over someone elses beat which is what usually counts for a freestyle. Heres the latest offering from Green Lanterns show on Sirius, catch part 2 here. 

Charles Hamilton freestyle on Invasion radio (part 1)

Finally heres an interview with Maino discussing an 'interesting' incident that went down before hot97 summerjam. Maino is a guy who's music I been checking for a while, he comes across as someone who doesn't bullshit unnecessarily and has the true life experience of what he's rapping about. I won't offer his latest single because it may not be to your taste. Click here for a link to his latest mixtape 'The Last Real N***A Alive'. If all goes well his first album should be out on Atlantic shortly. 

Bonus: Maino advises Cipha Sounds how to survive in jail, some funny sh*t. Listen here

Finally, NAS ETHERS CURTIS. AT LAST. One verse but that will do, Nasir got better things to rap about than waste energy on Curtis. 

Ayo Queens get the money
nigga still screamin "Paper Chasin'"
[...]
niggas is still hatin
talkin that nas done fell off with rhyming
he'd rather floss with diamonds
they pray "please god let him spit that 'oozie in the army lining'
that 'shorty doo-wop rolling oowops in the park reclining' "
take twenty-seven mc's put em in a line and they out of alignment
my assignment said she said retirement hiding behind 8 Mile and The Chronic
get rich but dies rhyming
this is high science
now add 23 more from queens to b'more
i'm over they heads like a bulimic on a seesaw
now thats 50 porch monkeys ate up at the same time

Nas feat. Busta Rhymes - Fried Chicken

Great record

 

Nice beat Ronson!

Who wrote that verse for Busta?

T.I. ft. R. Kelly - Life Of The Party

Alicia Keys ft. LL Cool J - Teenage Love Affair (Remix)

Joe Budden ft. Heartbreak- No More


T-Pain - Can’t Believe It f. Lil Wayne

Kanye West-Gotta Pose

For those with some good taste

Let's face it though, its not all about the new music, is it?
We have to celebrate the good shit. It was only, what? Ten or twelve years ago? When good urban music was so abundant you would actually struggle to fit all the good current albums into your schedule so you could listen to em all properly.
With this guy though it wasnt like that if you knew bout good music you knew bout D'Angelo. If you missed it, you were either slipping on the music or pure retarded and too busy listening to the Diddy album of the 90's, which was shit.
Anyway possibly one of the best RnB artists of the 90s download this right here if you dig it and if you don't know bout d'Angelo, then shit, you need a wake up call and a trip to your local music shop.

G-UNIT T.O.S
If you are a G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G UNIT FAN THEN U MIGHT WANT TO LISTEN TO THIS CAREFULLY THEN RETHINK YOUR MUSICAL TASTE. There again sometimes a bit of g-unit goes down well.(CLICK IMAGE)

Nature

My favorite mc under the most slept on/under-rated... category. Broken lines, non-concise lyrics matched with sick cadence, the boy was fire. Kanye agrees, if you consider that as a good thing. See below for links to his 2 unreleased albums, unfortunately on a par with Nas when it comes to consistently picking decent beats. The mic skills make up for this however. 

Nature - For All Seasons

Best of Andre 3000

So I'm watchin' her fine ass
Walk into my bedroom, and thought to myself
That's the shape of things to come
She said, "Why you in the club, and you don't make it precipitate?
You know, make it rain when you can make it thunderstorm"
I'm like, "Why? "
The world needs sun
The hood needs funds
There's a war going on and half the battle is guns
How dare I throw it on the floor
When people are poor
So I write like Edgar Allen to restore, got a cord?
Umbilical attached to a place they can't afford
No landscaping, Or window draping
This old lady told me,
"If I ain't got nothin' good, say nathing"

Click below for 34 tracks of guest spots from the past couple years plus some classic Outkast verses.

Outkast - Southern Royalty (u need this in your life!)

Friday Freeness

Its friday and its free, below are the links for ths weeks hottest new tunes.

A millie (freemix)


Nas hooks up with Dj kahled, Who? We the best! and brings us
I'm On


Styles P brings us new stuff with
Going Thru
Bitch Nigga Run



Mixtape madness

For those of you who like your hip-hop with a lil less bitches and bling and a lil more reality and political awareness, immortal techinque will be vocally cutting his wrists and calling for some economical reforms on this 3rd solo album/mixtape called
The 3rd World





New hot shit from the Alchemist. Hes been away for a hot minute but we all know this guy can make serious beat, catch the latest installement of his mixtape series "the cutting room floor."
The Cutting Room Floor 2

OK OK OK

I know a lil late with these, i had them for at least a week but i just didnt have time to put them up.


First we have the Nas "Nigger" album saga. He wanted to bring the album titled Nigger out for some shock value as well as maybe a lil marketing ploy but people for whatever reasons were not having it (both good and bad resons), so Nas decided the mixtape was the only way to bring the knowledge to the masses with the title and message that he wanted. He teamed up with Green Lantern an bought us this the
Nigger Tape


Next the boys from D block have got together again to give us another mixtape. Styles P, Jadakiss and sheek louch bring us some fire on the supa mario mixtape
So You Wanna Be A Supa Hero?



Now for those of you who dont know Joell Ortiz let me say just this. What the fuck are you doing???????????????
Joell is pure latin fire straight outta BK, first signed to Aftermath imprint then later dropped.He has now put that shit behind him and come back to hit the streets hard with hard features such as the Last night song with Mavado. If you aint heard him this is the time to kop this mixtape and get to know.
The Brooklyn Bomber


If you're older than say 25 you probably got the CNN "War Report" album sitting pretty on top of your all time collection. I know for a fact that Cappone and Noreaga fans have been waiting for some new shit for some time now.
Dj Whoo Kid has now put together a new street album from the war veterans of hp hop.
CNN Back On That QU Shit

Ok also LL cool J has a new mixtape but i aint posting that shit if you want it go find it. Nothing against LL i just cant hear him chatting shit bout chicks and licking his lips.

This should keep you going till at least next week, when i will be back with another installement of Friday freeness.
