Ye’s ’swagger like mick jagger’ line was inevitable, but this is still a bit of a banger. Video because I’m too lazy to upload an mp3.

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 [...]

Fatlace linked up this AC video that samples New Soul (as wot is used on the mac air advert). I think the eminem/new soul mashup on Feed The Animals edges it in general, but this video is just class (and has a nice little sting at the end, Apple fans).

There is also a slight lack of a thematic link, as it’s a combination of various tracks I’ve wanted [...]
