Matt Raz put this in my earhole today [ll] but he only had a snippet at first which featuring that stupid line about having “Asian like the bitches tied up in Dante Ross basement”. LOL. Dante Ross do keep a bad Asian broad too.
Peace to Khal from Rock the Dub for always having the good links for the internets.
I just saw El-P and Killer Mike in what was prA’Li the best Hip-Hop show I have seen since I hosted the OnSmash showcase at the HighLine Ballroom back in 2010.
You remember that right?
The energy at the El-P show was palpable even tho’ it wasn’t as manic. At least not from where MattRaz and I were posted up. We couldn’t enterprise our way back into the VIP area so we chilled in the center of the performance space and just let the light and sound deafen our senses.
There’s somewhat of a disconnect in rap circles which says that Hip-Hop dance music can’t be lyrical. And conversely, dense rhyme songs aren’t danceable. El-P’s Cancer 4 Cure is the exception that I believe should be the norm.
Killer Mike’s ‘R.A.P. Music’ and El-P’s ‘Cancer 4 Cure’ aren’t albums I suggest you listen to from headphones. If you have to listen from your laptop I won’t judge you but both albums require that you be hip as well as do the hop. This means that you need to smarten up and see El-P and friends live and direct.
Here’s the handful of North American dates left…
Thursday 23 August 2012 – Grand Central – Miami
Friday 24 August 2012 – Beachem Theatre – Orlando
GO FULL RETARD!
Beats For Brothels Volume 2 keeps rolling and the Dopp keep making videos which push their music and their mindset farther.
The Dopp Gang doffs the cloaks and steps up to Versacy for a day at the beach. These dudes are nuts and I love them [ll]. All I want now is my Dopp Gang video cameo.
Dyme-A-Duzin is the front man for Brooklyn rap band Phony Ppl. Here’s a nice little video pushing his more refined eclectic rhyme stylings.
I fux with this.
Nah, not really, its just Hima and Dap from Das Racist sitting in the booth with Combat Jack and the whole gang. Just Blaze brought some sick toys to the show too. Portable turntables queued up to play instrumentals so that Himanshu could show some of the doubting internets he can spit the raps FREELY.
Hey fuckybergs, the Combat Jack Show archives are also on iTunes.
