40 things you didnt know about Little DWayne

Excellent interview with Rakim, nearly 2 hours long, but worth it.

EDIT: You'll be saying Word up alot after watching this.

So Lauryn Hill has been sentenced to three months in jail and three months of house arrest for not paying her taxes. So much for any new music I guess.

I think that she did release a new track the other day, part of the deal she signed. Haven't heard it myself.

Ah! I didn't know that!

It isn't all that great, but she was never going to release anything that great. She's only making music again because she has to. If her heart ain't in it, then it was never going to be earth shattering.

El-P fans should watch this. Excellent interview in the Red Bull lecture series.

FINALLY gave section 80 a full listen the other day, always struggled to get through the whole thing, been hooked on it for 4 days now, what an album couldn't even pick a favourite track probably adhd, hiiipower or no makeup, it'd be a toss up between them.

Some fùcking album, reminds me of ATliens for certain, I'll always maintain kendrick reminds me of a young Andre 3000

Check out control system by ab soul and habits and contradictions by schoolboy q too if you haven't checked them out - I took those much quicker than section.80 and they are every bit as good imo.

i just love when you listen to an album for the first time in ages , where you just forgotten how great it is ,
just listened to Rae's cubin linx
and Capone-n-Norega's CNN report ,
first time in 2/3 years , and both still blow me away .
Classic's

What I'm doing at the moment is going through all my CD's at the moment and listening to them in the car. This morning was Commons 'Be', cant remember what I have lined up on the way home.

The way I have my CD's laid out, well, the way it started out that all albums were grouped alpabetically by artist, so A has all Atmosphere, B has all Big Daddy Kane, etc. So going through C's at the moment, War Report by CNN was spun the other day. I just realised how much crap there is on the CNN album, mixed with some classics.

Haha that's awesome! Next time just let them get your picture, they already know what your face looks like!

Only really heard of Mr Green from the new R.A. album so looked him up and he has produced a some stuff I already heard. He produces nothing but bangers! Dude is awesome.

His album with Pacewon is class

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9UtWS_F8m0

This one's insane

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lD9Zhf67Ieg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l75Z8wil_U

Look forward to hearing more of his stuff.

Did Pacewon and Eminem ever squash their beef?

Bobby Baccala · 11-05-2013 4:01pm

Didn't think there waw any other Pacewon fans here, he's great imo, his work with mr green is excellent, children sing is a banger!

I don't think they ever squashed the beef it kinda just blew over, Outsidaz were a great group I remember hearing eminem shouting out to them in a couple of songs on the slim shady lp that's how I got onto them and then pacewons solo stuff. He's under rated imo

Andy_rse · 13-05-2013 12:22pm

Yeah I remember hearing him shout them out on Just Don't Give A Fu*k and checking them out! Good stuff!

Boom_Bap · 16-05-2013 10:19pm

Tim Dog is apparently hanging out with Pac somewhere

I've always been the type that would listen to the odd atmosphere tune never actually got into an album of theirs can anybody point me in the right direction of where to start album wise? I like pretty much everything I've heard from them, a lot of mellow stuff all with a lot of substance they're top class!

Overcast! is a whopper album.

Andy_rse · 20-05-2013 12:45am

Their new album The Family Sign is probably their most mellow to date. There's some quality songs on there.

Their sound has evolved so much you would be forgiven for thinking you were listening to different groups. From the boom bap battle raps at the start to Slugs amazing storytelling these days they've quite a range of music.

Album wise if you check out Overcast, God Loves Ugly, When Life Gives You Lemons and The Family Sign it will give you a good idea of what they're about. They have a wealth of material but I reckon those would be a good place to start.

I'd throw up some links but I'm on my phone at the minute

Boom_Bap · 20-05-2013 11:42am

I'd recommend Sevens Travels to start off with. I think its the album where everything started to fall into place for them

Bobby Baccala · 20-05-2013 3:15pm

Nice one lads gonna get stuck into them tonight!

Talks of Q Tip and Kendrick releasing a track together soon, should be interesting.

mufcboy1999 · 25-05-2013 12:46am

Will smith was nothing short of excellent on the graham norton show tonight, i know he's fairly popular here... good rapper, one of the best actors around and the best rapper/actor imo.

No need for a petition, if rumours are to be believed, he is already working with Kanye on something.

Jimmy Iovine · 27-05-2013 1:04pm

So, did anyone see Macklemore or Ryan Lewis on the lash last night? Supposedly they went to a few places before landing in to Coppers :pac:.

If you've got a couple of hours to spare, and like Q-Tip, then watch this:

http://www.redbullmusicacademy.com/lectures/q-tip

It starts off slow, but really picks up when he gets more comfortable.

Andy_rse · 07-06-2013 7:48pm

Been following Wax from his days freestyling in his car and his low budget videos. Pretty damn happy for him, it must feel good!

Rock AM Ring, Germany.

I'm the same, the first time i seen the 93 Til Infinity rap in the car I was hooked. Although, not too keen on his more recent output, mainly due to too many gimmicky songs.

Rosana is #1 in German and Austrian charts (not sure which one) for a few weeks/months which prompted the recent trip to Europe to play some festivals.

Fair play to the dude.

I think he might have an EP out. Not sure though. Check out his songs with Thurz and Freddie Gibbs. They're very good. He only does the hook though. Not sure what he's like on a full song.

Not sure what it's like, but his tracks with Thurzday are excellent.

This is hilarious:

One half of UGK will soon take his Tumblr to print, allowing families to get throwed with crayons. The templates include Tupac, Drake and Juicy J.

In recent years, Port Arthur, Texas emcee Bun B has done quite a bit outside of music. The Rap-A-Lot Records artist and co-founder of UGK announced in 2011 that he would join the faculty at Rice University as "distinguished lecturer" to teach a Hip Hop and Religion-focused class at the college's school of humanities.

Now the Gangsta Rap veteran is moving into coloring backs. Bun and Houston, Texas-based music critic Shea Serrano have launched a Tumblr page featuring color book designs of Hip Hop artists. PSFK first-reported on the latest venture from the #1 charting artist. Currently printable from online, the pair has formal publication (as Bun B's Rap Coloring And Activity Book) plans for September of this year, according to Amazon.

Bun's publicist confirmed his involvement with HipHopDX. Below are two sample templates, both frequent Bun B collaborators in Drake and Three 6 Mafia's Juicy J:

Apologies for the two big photos. I think they're necessary and worth it for this though.
