... Cassie 'Me&U' (original, diddy remix and desi refix). finally a summer banger!

London's awash with them. What the hell is going on?

Obviously clubs have been lyrically part of black music for a very long time, but annecodally it feels like 'the club' has become as the definitive and central stage for establishing social status within the US hip hop/r&b community, above all others. Anyone else feel it dominating lyrics like this?

1. Roping in random, unrelated vocalists. "What would sound really great over this jungle beat, yeah, is if we brought in Marilyn Manson. Kev, could you get our people to speak to his people about the paperwork?" 2. Forgetting their audience. "All that dancefloor stuff is cool, but I always...

Some Desi/Reggaeton mutating going on. Check the latest Punjabi Hit Squad show. These two are both heavy: Bikram Singh ft Gunjan "Kawan (Jay Dhabi Reggaeton Remix)" Alyssia ft Dee (PHS) "Pyar Hogiya (Desiton Remix)" (White) PHS also talk about a "Bhangraton" compilation coming out of the...

Not heard anything as good as Ashanti's 'Only U' or Amerie's '1 Thing' in a while. Any great r&b nuggets out there I've missed?

Four of the top five have been announced now. How can it be possible that three of four are indie bands? Why is it so easy to break indie band after indie band at the expense of all other genres?

is it me or do GLC have more to say than 95% of all of UK hip hop? ;) all those on-point references to r&b girls, shitty early 90s radio records like Enya etc, far more relevant than this post-Premo 'keeping the old school alive' parody stuff.

so i'm passing through Carnaby St in Soho at about 10pm this friday and there's whole groups of hip hop heads focused in packs. everyone in baseball caps. the smell of skunk strong in the air. no stereos, one guy beatboxing, one guy freestyling and inevitably someone else with a big video camera...
