Another Literal lyrics video, with RHCP this time

Bootylicious

As is traditional this time of year, the new Best of Bootie is out, featuring another seventy odd minutes of mashup joy. Note the bonus section on the left as well, with 13 more top picks!

Recycled Audio Footage

Sunday, September 14th, 2008

I’m not sure what it is about The Clipse I like so much but they’re genuinely one of my favourite groups. It’s more than just the spacey Neptunes beats or the razor sharp coke raps, though both are top draw, but there’s something about the way they throw out the dealer image that adds a [...]

I’m a little bit hip-hopped out after the excellent Rising Styles festival live day yesterday (I’ve got a couple of phone photos on flickr). The ending was admittedly marred somewhat by them turning the sound off on Blaq Twang after his first track – if there was that hard a limit someone should have let [...]

Jay-Z Is Diplomacy

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

Jay-Z’s appearance at Glastonbury has shown a diplomatic side to young hov that I don’t think has been fully revealed before. After Noel Gallagher made some disparaging comments about his headlining, he came back with a thoughtful and well worded response: “We don’t play guitars, Noel, but hip hop has put in its work like [...]
