Paid Members Carbomb Posted May 14, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted May 14, 2021 This is probably going to draw some "noob" eye-rolls, but, having listened to fair bit so far, Akala has genuinely become one of my favourite rappers. His most recent Daily Duppy gets my blood pumping. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen to it most Mondays to get me 'fired up' for 7 a side against a bunch of 40 year olds. Know it off by heart. New Evidence song is fantastic. Can't wait for the album. And this is some great shit:Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will probably end up backing that at the end of the month. On a book note, this looks absolutely beautiful. http://danlishartworks.bigcartel.com/product/egostrip-book-1-limited-hardback-edition 24 minutes ago, Carbomb said: Just had notification on Youtube that Ocean Wisdom will be doing a second Fire In The Booth tomorrow at 7pm.

His first one is probably my all time favourite FITB and I posted on here recently about how incredible his recent album was. Speaking of FITB, Grindah absolutely bossed this:  Wanted to flag up a few fantastic articles that I read today. This is absolutely fantastic shit from Dean Van Nguyen about hip hop and socialism https://www.jacobinmag.com/2021/05/socialist-hip-hop-tupac-biggie-jay-z-killer-mike-paris-coup-noname-immortal-technique-marxman-hasel And this interview with Drakeo The Ruler is incredibly interesting too. I also loved his recent album. https://www.huckmag.com/art-and-culture/music-2/drakeo-the-rulers-reign-has-only-just-begun/ Really great to see so much smart, insightful hip hop writing about. Oh, and Planet Asia said he's releasing an album with Evidence. Lovely stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBacon Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 @CarbombI assume you've already heard this? To rhyme for 3 minutes with the same rhyme pattern and not repeat a word is fucking ridiculous. RIDICULOUS. Absolute mad man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the Westwood 'problem' for me. I get it. I get why they do it, and why it generates so much engagement, but its absolutely not for me. As for Ocean Wisdom, hes great and I have a lot of time for Terry Venables references in raps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted May 20, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted May 20, 2021 Man, that was great. I've had to watch a couple of times to try and catch it all, and I'm going to have to watch several more times - but even that in itself is an indicator to me of how good it was, that re-watching/listening won't feel like a chore, it was that enjoyable.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted May 25, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted May 25, 2021 (edited) The DMX and Griselda track off the new DMX album (out next week) ‘Hood Blues’. If you’re like me and wish Westside Gunn would just fuck off, skip the first minute; Love that they used the old sample from Sean Price’s ‘Figure Four’ (I know it’s been used a few times but I associate it mostly with Sean P) but it’s not as good as I’d hoped. I wish they’d left WSG off. X sounds weird too. Like they arsed about with his vocals too much. Hopefully that’s not the case for the whole album. Edited May 25, 2021 by wandshogun09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
