SOUTHERN HIP-HOP DOWNLOAD

 

The two best southern hip-hop albums of all time. 

If you don't own these then you need to. 

Goodie Mob - Soul Food (download here)

Outkast - Atliens (download here)

 

Got a spare $100,000?

Then bid on ebay for the mother of all shoe collections. 

CURREN$Y

After wisely deciding Lil Wayne was perhaps not the best person to be in charge of his career. Curren$y left to do it on his own and has put together several mixtapes this year. Now theres alot to get through, but with some recycle bin action you could end up with a hot compilation tape for yourself as there are many different beats spit on.

The Biggest Gang in North America

Above are the logos for the F.B.I. , Republican party and U.S. Dept of Justice. However it seems right now they are all one in the same. 

The recent Republican convention saw hundreds of arrests, including forced entry of peoples homes and confiscation of property. Many have been given federal charges through the help of a law passed to stop terrorism. However it seems the U.S. government would prefer to use these laws to scare people away from using their right to peaceful protest of their beloved Republican party. 

Please click here to read a personal story of an individual I know now having to fighting these trumped up federal charges.

In memory of ... Tupac Shakur

Died 12 years ago (yesterday). It's been that long I forgot the significance of September 13th, hence the late post. Still very sad and depressing to think what could of been. His legacy still lives on through the music. Heres some vids.

NASIR BEN OLU DARA JONES

The good people over at the smoking section have re-arranged I AM... and Nastradamus to the way the should have been but never were. Thanks to internet leakages and Columbia records f***ery the proposed double cd was split into two albums (above) and many of the better tracks, some which ended up on The Lost Tapes were left of the original retail releases.

INTERVIEW: Barack Obama in the "No Spin" zone

A good man, interviewed by a man who deserves a slow and painful death.

If you have, what they call - a brain. That probably annoyed you. Lets cheer ourselves up with an old favourite:

"You Mad!" - Cam'ron sons Bill O'Reilly

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:

WESTWOOD DOES THE WEATHER

Be aware this forecast is now out of date.

Has the sunshine ever been referred to as 'real legendary' before?

Be sure to wait for the out takes at the end. 

INTERVIEW: LIL WAYNE

A decent interview, this time more surprising due to the muppet doing the interviewing rather than the artist.

JUELZ(LESS) SANTANA

He wasn't the first, and he won't be the last. 

source: nahright

It seems that Santana’s former manager got a couple of London promoters for 70K a couple of years back and ran off into the sunset like shit was sweet. So I guess these gentlemen got word that Juelz was in the country and saw an opportunity for getback.

And so the story goes that a large contingent of goons rushed Juelz’ hotel last night on some No Country For Old Men type shit. Long story short, Young Splashy Splash had to be escorted out of the place by police and checked into a different hotel. The aforementioned chaps eventually tracked him to the new hotel, ran up his new room and took all of those shiny baubles you see him flashing on hood DVD’s.

There’s more to the story, but I can’t even bring myself to put it out there. From what I hear, alot more information, and possibly even some video, should be trickling out of the U.K. over the next couple of days.

TRAILER: DUDE WE ARE GOING TO RIO

Are we?

Heres the trailer for Pharrell's unreleased movie, which makes Killa Season look Oscar worthy. Oh dear.

VIDEO: PUFF DADDY IS POISON

Maronzio Vance? No, I never heard of him either but this 8 min dissection of the Bad Boy curse is quite hilarious.

NELLY INTERVIEW WITH CIPHA & ROSENBERG

Straight from the source: You probably hated Nelly before Juan Epstein. You probably won’t after. He’s the man.

Probably one of the better interviews with a 'rapstar' I ever heard. 

Check the first 10 minutes at least. Nelly breaks down 'the state of hip-hop' quite perfectly I would say.

Coming out late September. Production by Dj Premier, Pete Rock, Hi-Tek, Alchemist, Havoc, Easy Mo Bee, Large Professor, Buckwild and Nottz. 

Judging by the list above, could either be an underground classic or an album made at least 10 years too late.

Q-TIP Interview with Cipha Sounds & Rosenberg

Tipster made 'Bonita Applebum' when he was 15 and produced all records on the 3 first tribe albums including the remixes. I guess that would make him easily the best producer rapper of all time.

Crazy Talk New York

If you spent any time in NY you're likely to overhear someone talking crazy, particularly on the subway. Luckily some bright sparks have created a website to document this. 

Go to overheardinnewyork.com 

heres a couple of samples:

Lost tourist on cell, blocking the crosswalk with her luggage: I'm standing on the corner of 42nd and 3rd.
Passing native: Yeah, and in everyone's mothafucking way.

Gangsta wannabe #1: Yo, man, I gotta get me a new Sidekick.
Gangsta wannabe #2: Yo, you mean buy one or rob one?
Gangsta wannabe #1: Yo, rob one, fool!
Gangsta wannabe #2: So rob one then!
Gangsta wannabe #1: I will soon!

Very nervous white guy in suit right in front of them quickly slips his Sidekick into his pocket.

AINTHARDTOTELL.COM - OLYMPIC ROUND UP!

Usain Bolt is ridiculous! At full speed for no more than about 20 meters of the 100 and still killed everyone and broke the world record. I remember when seeing someone go under 9.90 was something special. 9.69 is crazy. 

Guess what else is crazy, the lack of video available on the net. Is this is 2008 Olympics or not? What the .... They must of cleared away all the servers along with the rest of the city they covered up for the cameras and the sponsors. 

Team GB flying high! 4 more medals today including three golds. Over a week in and we're still on the first page of the medal table. 3rd in fact, which considering the population of U.S. and China, I'd say we are Ballin!

1	China	29	13	10	52
2	United States	17	19	22	58
3	Great Britain	10	4	7	21

Rock The Bells New York 2008: The belated feature length review

Location: Jones Beach Theatre, Long Island, NY.

Date: August 3rd 2008

Weather: f***ing hot

Bottle of water: $5

Time: 12:00- 0:00

Kidz In The Hall

Double O came out wearing a leg brace and a bandage on his head after an unfortunate encounter with some bouncers. Said he made it here for New York, which went down well. 

Technical issues: some random macbook sounds for 10 mins, no music. Just Blaze is here.

Uneventful set, venue still 70/80% empty. Moving on.

Dead Prez

Missed most of their set queuing for a less than desirable cheesburger ($7). Came back to the theatre for their finale 'Hip-Hop', in time to sing in unison "and it dont stop till we get the crackas of the block" with all the other white people here. Most people are still outside at the monopolistically priced fast food stands. 

Immortal Technique 

Its too hot for a revolution today

Surprisingly loud response as he takes the stage. The red, black and green flags are out. Rips through Peruvian Coke, 3rd World, No Return. 

Wraps things up with a speech about unity then jumps down from the stage and walks out among the people. 

De La Soul

One of the best and deserved crowd responses of the day. Great performance

A lot of Dilla shirts in the crowd today, and not just on the back of white nerds either. 

Biz Markie makes a surprise appearance, performs 'Just a Friend'. Awesome. 

Q-Tip breaks into a full sprint in time for his part on 'Buddy'. Tells the crowd he 'would be back later'. Indeed, much later.

Dres from Black Sheep enters to perform 'The Choice is Yours', "engine, engine number 9..." the crowd loves it. 

The Pharcyde

Come out to 'Runnin', good start. To be honest besides their 3 big tunes (figure it out) I'm not the biggest Pharcyde fan. The people watching begins. 

Hip-Hop celebrity spotting

We were to the left of the stage in the stands, directly below was the walkway from the artists area to the stage. Everyone that turned up for the day came straight passed us. Mostly to a welcoming response. Murs, Masta Ace, Skyzoo, Dru Ha, Raekwon comes through at least 20 deep. 

Raekwon & Ghostface

Hoping for a Wu energy boost in the searing heat. Sadly disappointing as the sound quality was complete horses**t, with the wind taking the sound the opposite direction to make matters worse. I didn't even realize 'Ice Cream' was playing as all we could hear was a muffled bassline and alot of shouting. 

Note able Highlight of the day

A shout of "oh s**t, thats Slick Rick is heard from the crowd. Everyone gets to their feet and cheers The Ruler into the building like its Paul Pierce returning to game 1 of the NBA finals.

Mos Def

Begins with some of that singing/chanting stuff he likes to do with shouts of "Brooklyn" in between. The crowd seems bemused.

Definition beat blasts off, Talib Kweli enters the stage and they rip through some Black Star classics. The crowd loves it. Talib performs 'Get By', I along with everyone else hypocritically sing along to the chorus.

Godzilla music kicks it, its Pharoae to perform 'Simon Says'. As you can imagine, this went down well.

Mos finishes the set with "Traveling Man" of the DJ Honda album. Everyone seems content after a dodgy start, overall Mos was a fantastic performer. 

Redman & Method Man

Suddenly the place smells alot more a weed than it has all day.

Red announces hes still hungover from the night before in Miami but still gonna rip the show.

They tear s**t down with a highly entertaining/energetic set. 

Slick Rick makes a brief appearance, sings the "Lodi Dodi" chorus then leaves.

DJ Kool comes out to perform let me clear my throat.

EPMD and Keith Murray enter the stage for a Def Squad reunion minus K Solo.

Nas

Has a live band which is more of a hindrance than a help in his case. 

Runs through his usual Illmatic medley, with the line from One Love about Jeromes niece shot on her way home from Jones beach being an unusual highlight. 

Nas still has that habit of missing words, sometimes whole lines out of his records, partly out of breath, partly wanting the crowd to play hypeman. 

The organs sound for 'Success',very unexpectedly Jay-Z walks out. They perform 'Black Republicans' then Jay leaves to let Nas bask in the glory. 

Kinda surprising to see Jay at an event of 90's hip-hop nostalgia. Nether the less, always a great sight to see 2 legends take the stage together. 

Nas leaves the stage thanking the crowd for his 5th (was it 7th?) number 1 album. Really a great achievement for someone whos lyrics are "over they heads like a bulimic on a seesaw".

Q-Tip

A very hype, passionate performance from Tip. With Mos Def as hypeman he rolls through some tracks of the 'Amplified' album plus a couple new tracks. Fire.

A Tribe Called Quest

Their first performance together in New York  for 10 years. Monumental you might say. 

All the classic were performed Award Tour, Jazz, Footprints, Electric Relaxation, Stir it Up, Excursions, Bonita Applebum. Worth the wait to say the least. 

As I predicted Busta came out to give it some Dungeon Dragon on 'Scenario'. Meth, Mos and a bunch of other performers from the day come out to join the party. A fitting farewell to the ultimate day of hip-hop nostalgia. 

Off the top of my head, heres a list of people who performed or were just there as a fan. 

Kidz In The Hall, Dead Prez, Immortal Technique, De La Soul, Dres (Black Sheep), Biz Markie, The Pharcyde, Raekwon, Ghostface, Cappadonna, Inspektah Deck, Slick Rick, B-Real, Supernatural, Green Lantern, Just Blaze, Murs, Afrika Bambatta, Dj Premier, M.O.P., Skyzoo, Just Blaze, Dru Ha, Masta Ace, Consequence, Scratch (Roots), Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Pharaoe Monch, DJ Scratch, Method Man, Redman, Dj Kool, EPMD, Keith Murray, Nas, Jay-Z, Q-Tip, A Tribe Called Quest, Busta Rhymes.  

After f***ing off any intentions of getting home safely and staying till gone midnight for the end of Tribe, the night eventually ended in luxury as some kind hearted Aussies gave us a lift home in their limo. Avoiding a fate similar to "Jeromes niece" allowing to take with me memories of the greatest day of hip-hop ever seen. One Love. 

Im on holiday/vacation on the beach so free shit back next week. sorry
