Baby Shotta : Movado with Ward 21 on the Nookie 2k6 riddim. This thing runs through my head every day. Movado - Ward 21 - Baby Shottas You can even buy it on iTunes Movado with the gorgeous drifting song, Ward 21's Suku—the bass dude. Good cop bad cop. Ward 21 always play their voice talent like an orchestra. Suku is the one that intones hypnotically on that single deadly pitch. Suku also produces many of my favorite Ward 21 ... more...

On the street, cell phones enable impromptu rapping, or "spitting," over music played through speaker phones. Grime is hated and loved. Its basically a super media thing, attractive to people who write about stuff. All these "new" genres are like that (Favela funk, Reggaeton). Music is hard to talk about, and music writers ALWAYS bore me. They stick to the surface attributes. No way to know if something really is good or not based on these descriptions. If I listen ... more...

Many of the innovations in music for the past several decades happen in the more agressive, energetically active forms. Metal, punk, hip-hop, techno, jungle (hardcore), dancehall/bashment, grime. Nietzsche would be proud: the strong succeed, leading the way. The Appollonians may complain, back in their chill out rooms or up in their pop charts, but they follow the leader. Further down the line they sweeten the style up once its cooled off. War presidents think this way too. Apollonian nations fall ... more...

one of the three of WE with Olive and once11. lloop is kinda grumpy and anti-industry, and he's sitting on a buttload of killer tracks that he hasn't released. when he plays live he has this surplus of killer beats and sounds. i just wish we could kick his butt into releasing a record, but then i wish someone would kick my butt into releasing a record. lloop, what do you think of that ? -f On Thursday, February 6, ... more...

Mike Wolf has held many jobs around the lunatic fringes of the music industry, the less unsavory of which include years with Amphetamine Reptile Records in Minneapolis (1991-'96) and New Zealand label Flying Nun, running their U.S. branch in Chapel Hill ('96-'97). He was music director/primary instigator for punk-rock college radio station Radio-K (before it was even known as such and, sadly, long after punk rock mattered), and also spent five years DJing at First Ave in Minneapolis, where he ... more...

a good article about the "bu'n chi chi man" problem in dancehall lyrics. great riddims, and then always some crap about killing batty boys. Even as they portray themselves as swaggering ''bad men,'' reggae stars also present themselves as forces for good: folk heroes, social activists, prophets. (Buju Banton, for example, sometimes calls himself, ''the voice of Jamaica.'') To be really successful, you have to do both at once, which is one reason vocalists find antigay rhetoric so useful. It ... more...

dj /rupture turned me on to this excellent grime blog. its one thing to check the records from afar, but being around london and the pirates and the inner crew gossip is a whole 'nother level of entertainment. grime is getting deliriously silly at the moment: first up, we had roll deep's 'salsa' which i've written about before and is a summer anthem right now. and now Demon's done a track with a proper early slayer death/thrash metal riff on ... more...

The republicans depend on the american public being so stupid that they don't even know what the word 'misinformation' is, let alone why it should worry their pretty little heads. And so it goes on and on: just float that bullshit down the media pipe, by the time anybody calls foul the average american has forgotten all about it. so it doesn't matter: you can just lie to people. its not illegal. its just "a mistake". Media Matters for America ... more...
