I've been making grime tapes for months as I've been able to get my hands on more 12s via import and napiform. Listening to them each morning on the bus, I'll jump in here and say that shit is easy to mush together but pretty hard to sequence. Never done it with MCs (for obvious reasons. Old...

Far from emperor's new clothes. Perhaps that is the overseas perspective? http://houstonsoreal.blogspot.com http://www.screweduprecords.com/store2.html Screw music is produced in massive quantities. Just about every record that has interested me lately has showed up somewhere in a screwed...

For what it's worth, a few former jungle heads in boston have cited K as the killer of east coast rave in multiple conversations..

So far "Go" is the uncontested hazy stoop jam of the summer. Is anyone else listening to this record? I like that it's a Chicago collaborative.. lots of neighborhood references. Having Kanye produce so much gives it real consistency of sound unlike so many other hiphop LPs.

I picked up this issue in Boston a few weeks ago. The articles on funk and dad-dee yahnk-ay were pretty good.. but I am always disappointed with the brevity of so much writing in xlr8r. There always seem to be a dozen little blurbs on "cool stuff." Jah Mek the World and Kano reviews under...

i will definitely delve deeper into khanate .. i've just been a casual observer to my roommate's obsessions. branching this topic slightly, we had an dark, uninterrupted, extraordinarily loud "dopesmoker" listening a few months ago. what a great record that is, mythology and all.

just found out khanate are touring the US this autumn. earth is playing some shows. re: the dubstep connection. in my experience, dubstep works best when it is almost oppressively heavy or dark. the earth2 album is the definition of this description.. i can imagine some dubstep mixes...

Had supper over Earth2 and Noothgrush last night. It had me thinking of headier dubstep mixes at times. Highly repetitive with subtle shifts in texture and tone. Is anyone else on this board interested in drone / doom metal?

This track has been growing increasingly on me. It's like a trainwreck of grime conventions. Weird vocal stabs, sublow bass, handclaps.. Anyone else into this track?

I'm heading over to the DR show in Cambridge tomorrow night. I'm getting there around 10pm. Can anyone report on the timing of the tour thus far? Should I expect to miss DJ Wonder? Also, is DR selling any vinyl on this tour?

Couple things to remember: - Jay-Z tells us he is too old for jerseys. It was all button-ups and fancy cufflinks on his aborted tour with R Kelly. - White T's are HUGE because they cost 2$US and you only wear them once. So when you go out to a club, half the dudes are wearing BLINDINGLY...

can anyone re-up this thing? i got to 98% last night and it died.

I'll be at Diz on 4/24 in Cambridge, MA. Psyched for it.. though I expect a similar audience. We'll see- the Middle East has been doing more hip-hop lately.. so who knows?

Watching these high school students create a TAZ moment at a recent talent show. Having planned a complex dance sequence to a top40 hiphop medley, they were instructed not to use the 'Candyshop' vocal because of inappropriate lyrics. However, on the night of the performance, so many kids in...

i don't know much about DC++ (never got it poppin on gnome/linux) but nicotine is a reliable slsk client. what's the story on Creeper? i got it off a bro and he didn't have the info on it either. have to say the 1 minute treatment of aaliyah's "miss you" is one of the best tracks i've heard...

I was just having a great conversation with an old friend of mine. We were both big into the DHR thing in high school (mid 90s.) I left it for hardcore punk whereas he went off on some indie rock thing. Having not seen each other in years, he was asking what I was listening to lately and I...

There's a pretty good chance I will stop by tonight in Cambridge if Boston area peeps want to say hello.

I've been up on this for a year! Written whilst temping in downtown Boston corporate offices:
