I think everyone has a tolerence level for B-Real :pac:
That nasal rapping can get to you after a few songs.

Got a mail about the NBN kickstarter.

Sound to me like there having financial issues?

Boom_Bap

Loads of groups/rappers chance their arms with kickstarters now to fund the studio time for albums.
It wouldn't suprise me with NBN as they were never massive sellers and there are 3 people in the group to pay.

Hmmm.... I feel empty....

That was quite enjoyable actually :P
Although I think I'm feeling empty because I need a new hook up. Some old school stuff of course....

Boom_Bap...the gift that keeps on giving

Here's a Big Daddy Kane that nobody talks about. Everybody shoud as it's pretty flawless.

Have you heard this as well

Had a very brief listen (20 mins maybe) of The B.U.M.s and I'm liking what I hear so far.
Can't make a full assessment as of yet.
Will give all above a few play-throughs on Friday / Saturday and come back with some thoughts.

Dj Muggs' album with GZA of the Wu is fantastic...highly recommended.

The B.U.M.s album...Very smooth beats. Really enjoyed it.
Is it just me or in the last track I swore I was listening to Kendrick Lamar??!

I should elaborate, What I mean is it sounds like a track which may have influenced kdot

This is a pretty decent 90's mix

I only found out today that DeLaSoul and 2Pac had beef.

This new Action Bronson show might be the best thing ever. Smoking a whole ton of weed and watching Ancient Aliens. First two episodes are on YouTube.

Jimmy Iovine

Everyone is moaning that the EP lineup is poor this year. Thankfully my girlfriend is now forced to go outside the main acts and find other acts she's interested in, namely Joey Bada$$ and Nas. She downloaded 'Illmatic' and 'Summer Knights' on Spotify. I'm going to have '1999' on play every day in the car and we're going to watch 'Time is Illmatic' on Netflix soon.

She has never shown any interest in rap. None. Thank you EP :pac:

I'm lucky, the missus and kids like Tribe, Ugly Duckling and Beastie Boys.

Some act live, class watch

DJ Quik is a legend, a few of his albums are brilliant start to finish.
Last year he had an EP with some younger up and comer, I think it was called the Rosecranz EP which is well worth a listen.

First interview by Freddie Gibbs about his recent troubles in Europe.

An excellent read and I'm delighted that he got justice.
