thought i would post this here as ive been listening to a lot of pil lately and saw this on their main fan site. its a handwritten letter lydon wrote to a fan asking for tips on what reggae artists to check out that was posted a few months back. no record titles but plenty of artists...

is this out there? ive not got it yet but its meant to be next level dubstep right?! ;)

dug this out the other week. damn its good. some weak spots here and there, or not so much weak spots, just a bit of lacking in inspiration, but even those moments i like a lot - some really novel production touches and i love the sound of the emceeing on this, its almost 'quiet'. this is...

thought some ppl here would find this interesting... http://music.guardian.co.uk/urban/story/0,,2158038,00.html You are what you own Rap doesn't undermine social values, but does suggest that flaunted wealth means success Dreda Say Mitchell Wednesday August 29, 2007 The Guardian If the...

anyone else looking forward to this as much as i am?

ive not heard this yet but theres a guardian review here - http://music.guardian.co.uk/urban/reviews/story/0,,2130098,00.html. not sure what this is going to be like - do i really need to hear grindie mashups from le bizzle for a whole album? the reviewer has a good point though about bizzle...

sampler should have leaked by now its not 'straight up' hip hop (whatever that might mean in 2007) but its definitely not grime grime influenced somewhat, yup - mikey j is producing (hes pretty good, got some good ideas/sounds), but its just a bit tired overall and kate nash AND craig david...

hes tired of reading stuff about how the industry is dying apparently... http://music.guardian.co.uk/pop/story/0,,2125278,00.html

is it bad?

inspired by some posts on gutterbreakz' blog and some of the mp3s i downloaded and actually liked very much. i think most people seem to agree a lot of the attempts at making D&B live were lacking in most areas but im curious as to know how most D&B fans liked tracks like the ones from dollis...

saw this last night wasnt quite as good as everyone said didnt like the way it was filmed or at least the visual 'grain' of how it looked bit too clean the grittier quality of the short film on the dvd by the same director was better and more appropriate IMO it also tended to look a bit 'small'...

if the specials did reform and do a reunion tour, id definitely go and see them. one of the few 'reunited' bands id really want to check out. still really original IMO. lilly allen kinda ruins this by singing on it but the band sound great. and good on her for getting them up there (wonder if it...

if 7s are selling so well and 12s are too costly for grime or dance/garage/whoever guys to release (or so they say), then why not convert to 7s? might be a good move. and i dont think it has to be seen as only an indie rock format, esp when jamaican music still is very 7" reliant. to the point...

whos heard this? thoughts?? the vocal tracks arent bad (the actual vocals dont sound that well recorded but that might just be the version i have) but the instrumentals are all great i think this hangs together better than skreams album (the only one i can compare it to really) even if it...

im not for a minute endorsing or even excusing homophobia in dancehall (although what dyou expect - jamaican culture as a whole isnt too accomodating to gays) but it would be nice just for once to see some articles on dancehall that dont go for the same old jugular over and over again. i know a...

thought there might as well be a thread for this seeing as theres one for dizzees album (shows where dissensus's bias lies in this 'war' doesnt it?!) random thoughts - ive said what i think of letter to dizzee already (its mawkish and embarassing for all involved) but its a wise move on wileys...

http://www.allhiphop.com/features/?ID=1798 AllHipHop.com: A couple of years ago, grime was supposed to be the next big thing in Hip-Hop. They were even two compilations released in America that had contributions by you on it. Now that it’s out of the spotlight, did you suspect it would fade...

not sure what to make of this. the video is funny, but her remake of the fergie song, isnt. its just annoying.

did anyone see this? it had some interesting interviews with the guy who invented the web but most of it was like yentob had just started using the net about a week ago. all the stuff about arctic monkeys was about a year our of date and i was dissapointed he seemed so painfully pro-everything...

basically im always getting behind on R&B so i thought a thread like this would be a good way for me to stay up to date. providing the people here arent also behind in which case this thread is going to be a total waste of time. but hopefully not. anyway, the new beyonce album came out the other...
