Raekwon (Feat. Nas) - Rich & Black

As much as i enjoy this, i just cannot imagine it going off in a club.

It's surely not the point of it i am sure, but i do yearn for something that is lyrically strong and bangs in the club.

There was another Nas related thing dropped this week, anyone spot it? I can't remember the name of it now.

This, per chance?

Yeah that might be it, cheers. Didn't blow me away either, hmmm i guess times are a-changing.

Speaking of which, i just got sent the promo of that Kreayshawn 'Gucci Gucci' track, which means they are probably pushing it in the UK.

All sounds amazing but WTF? Artifacts SXSW 2011? 'Wrong Side Of Da Tracks' is one of my favourite NY rap tunes of all time and I play it out almost any time I'm DJing 90s hip hop...but it's nearly 20 fucking years old, and as far as I was aware they had split up. Are they working on new material then?

Yeah, it does seem odd. I only became aware of them through this festival's advertising but It seems there's a bit of a nostalgia movement currently going on in Hip Hop over here so it's not entirely surprising that older acts are being brought to the fore.

The Raekwon gig at the weekend was an eye-opener for this. Fans here HATE the hip hop of the moment. At one point he shouted out 'Who here likes the way hip hop is going?' and the acidic boos were incredible.

Didn't know Chairman Mao was involved with the hip-hop scene.

Yeah he just spins music from marxist rappers like Lupe Fiasco.

I think this is the old editor of Ego Trip mag, rather than the communist leader of the people's republic of china.

I could be wrong though...

I haven't been following this thread due to having a fairly passive interest in hip-hop is apologies if it's been mentioned already but

is fucking awesome and I can't get enough of it.

Also loving Transplants atm but not sure if that can really be classed as hip-hop. No doubt someone will fill me in.

I am not sure why, but he totally reminds me of Mc Paul Barman, except not as funny.

I can also imagine him rapping at a party and making people feel uncomfortable, because he is right up in their faces 'blowing their minds' with his insightful lyricism.

He's probably just quite a pleasant guy though...
