Are you much into NWA/Ice cube/Dre @WebEschatology i was expecting by now that there might be a tune or two from one of them.

What did you think of the straight outta Compton film?

i am and funny enough there was another track with Kurupt on it that i was thinking of putting in here (puffin on blunts & drankin tanqueray) but had to sidestep it

I guess my thing is i haven't listened to that lot in a long time and haven't much of a reason to outside of a few tracks but yeah they're great

Those pods are great if you're into graf. It's behind the scenes stories to guys you saw up but never knew the details. I accept this is of limited interest but if you're in that demographic it's manna from heaven.

yeah i listened to a load of these wandering around town over the last year, the graffiti ones are generally great. there's a us equivalent called boilerroom brooklyn or something like that, but its nowhere near as good and there's only a few graffiti ones.

Our Prince Across the Water has just unearthed a very important cultural and generational artifact which he has asked me to share with you for comment. It's an interview with Harry Love of the Scratch Perverts that is bitter, poignant, profound and fucking hilarious. It tells a story of our...

Viktor vaughn is Doom right? Yeah I really like this one. I've not listened to loads of Doom, but almost everything of his that I have listened to I like. I like his slowish flow, the storytelling aspect, the simplicity in the beat. In fact, I'm sure he's done a similar tune to this one before, a duet, that I posted in the thread we had for him.

He sort of squares the circle Doom, he's not aggy gangsta, but nor is he trying to be too clever or conscious, he's got that crucial oddball surreal side. I love that one kode9 remixed, air.

The Coup. I never heard of them but this sounds very West Coast G funk era type sound. Like it. Party tune with a good hook and decent rap.

last i checked he directed and wrote that Sorry to bother you ting, if he did TV aswell then that's news to me (looking it up turns out he did the score for an episode of the Simpsons)

Boots Riley is alright man he looks like the kind of brother who back in the 70s you see with the Black Panthers handing out turkeys to the people around Christmas time

Yes you are right some kind of serious morality story about a fella called jesus who's a pimp and his mum is one of jesus' girls. Not a party tune at all. I was fooled by the tune.
