Kim Jong-Il spitting rhymes

Well, who would've thought that the late North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il had such potential as a deejay

and emcee.

Within days of his passing away, the truth started coming out. First with Kim Jon-Il dropping the bass, where we can see the man in action all over the world with some of the biggest deejays on the scene. Check out the pics below, the dude sparks fire on the wheels of steel...

Then, on the 18th of Dec, his first track appeared online and man it´s some heavy sh*t. Kim spits deadlier rhymes than when Cannabis challenged LL, or dare we say Eminem when he destroyed Benzino. Bump the banger out below, we want the 'Il' on our beats




And to wrap it up, here is the press release we received...we look forward to more

A rap song has surfaced from recently deceased North Korean leader Kim Jong Il. In "Jim Kong Ill", the late Mr Il tells U.S. President Obama to "stay the [expletive] outta L.A." and recommends Iran's President Ahmedinejad to "get a job", among several barbs throw at a range of world leaders. The song was recorded and released by Los Angeles-based emcee Malkovich, who claims that Mr Il in fact died last July, and has inhabited his body for the last several months. A short biography on http://malkovichmusic.com provides all that is know about the Persian-British emcee, who was born during Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution and narrowly escaped death in Libya when an American bomb meant for Colonel Qaddafi almost hit his home.

New! CNN feat. Busta Rhymes & Ron Browz "Rotate"

CNN is finally back! Let the record 'Rotate'!

Finally Capone-N-Noreaga have teamed up again and released a joint! Rotate is ok, nothing incredible, but fuelled up in the club with chicks grindin' all over the place, i'm sure it'll sound better! And after a few listens i gotta say the track is growing on me altho busta's verse is pretty disappointing and that autotune is starting to become as annoying as 50 cent chanting G-Uuuuunit every other second...

Anyway, Channel 10, the full length, is dropping around Spring time and CNN have promised it's got that 'Timbs and Hoody' sound throughout!! If it can get anywhere near the quality of The War Report, it's gonna bring New York back on the map, let's just hope it's not just all talk cuz after 9 years wait I'm expecting a lot from the cats who once were T.O.N.Y!

P.S. Can someone please make the Autotune illegal!! Honestly, does everybody have to use it?? I don't wanna sound like a hater and i know these people need to jump on waves to make a little paper but still...if you really love music why not try something different?? Why copy the next man's idea by the masses?? I personally don't get it and it doesn't even sound that great half the time anyway...Like Nas said 'No idea's original, there's nothing new under sun...' (y'all real nas fans know which song i'm talking about)...

Track below

New! Termanology "Circulate (100 Bars)" produced by J Dilla

Term is definitely one of the hottest prospects out at the moment, hands down. He’s been around for a little minute but only recently has he been dropping consistent heaters (including a good first album 'Politics as Usual') and 'Circulate' is the latest in a line of bangers he's released of late. What I love about this track is the vibe of it, mid-to-late 90s feeling both on the musical and lyrical front; at times Term is almost sounding like a hybrid of Common and Big Daddy Kane!!

The beat has got J Dilla written all over it, chilled but bouncy fitting in perfectly with Term's flow who drops 100 bars with no hook...some raw sh*t from the Puerto Rican wonder kid! Check out smart quotables like "Give me any beat, I'm buryin' good bastards/plastic bag rap, and save money on the casket/ Homey, I get shady like Ca$his/ Get them bullets out, Tom Brady-type fashion" and "I'm creepin' thru Zion, floating thru Baghdad/ My shoe's flying at Bush faster than Arabs."

We’re all waiting patiently for his second solo effort…

The Most Embarassing Hip Hop Songs of All Time (Benzino - Die Another Day)

Who remembers this? Benzino vs Eminem? Like putting Fat Joe against Lil Wayne in a Christmas Pie eating contest, this was over before it started... 

Now why is it one of the most embarrassing songs of all time? Here’s why: First of all, Benzino tried to go deep with this one by putting images of black slavery and lynchings etc. and apparently equating the severity of that situation with what Eminem had said in those shameful leaked tapes from way back. Benzino tried to start a revolution with this one, he was entirely convinced that he could get people to start saying, “Yeah man, F**K Em, Black power…” etc. Except for one thing. He was whack as hell.

Now, if Nas decided to take it personally and made a track, the following events may have played out very differently, but you can’t mobilise an army when the General is a washed up has-been. No matter what Benzino tried to say in this track whilst presenting himself as the speaker of every black person, he instead looked like a complete ass-hole who had a personal beef with Slim. And I can’t take the dude seriously when he gave himself like 5 Mics in the Source magazine and didn’t give Eminem his props.

Back to the track itself. The video is filmed in a cheap gym with Benzino lifting 5kgs and getting an erection over the fact he’s on camera again. ‘Subliminal historic black-struggle messages flashing on the screen’ aside, the video has been given tints of blue and red in some parts to make it look expensive...Nice! It obviously doesn’t work. The production was probably done in a few minutes, and the lyrics flow as well as a George Bush speech. The definition of garbage, a classic rags to riches to rags story.

Killer Line:

“You the rap David Duke, the rap Hitler, the culture stealer, ni**ers aint wit ya. I’m the Rap Huey, the rap Malcolm, the rap Martin, don’t worry, I’m a finish what we started.”

The rap Hitler? Did Eminem burn millions of Jews? Man how did I miss that moment of history?

You’re the rap Malcolm? Really Benzino?…were you fu**ing with the Nation of Islam and going out on the streets to fight for your people’s rights? Were you part of the Hip Hop Civil Rights Movement that we all seemed to miss?

He killed himself on that one...

New! Freeway "Start Wildin"

What's going on with Free?? Is he taking rap steroids or something??! I mean, he's always been pretty dope since he first dropped but recently he's been churning out banger after banger...definitely fitting in with the festivities!!

At the moment, his rhymes are more on point than a scoreboard and over this e-double beat they flow like they're skating on ice! Over the last couple of months he's brought out at least 5 hot new tracks, and the question comes begging....when's the new full length dropping Free??

Check it out...

New! Billy Danze Ft. Busta Rhymes "Undescribable"

Man, we're loving the vibe of this beat! And it's so good to hear something decent from part of the Mash Out Posse 'cause, i gotta be honest, recently MOP havent really released anything up to the standards of their classic material!

Busta represents as always on this track (although he could've done better in all fairness). But what if Billy had got one of the southern monsters on this? I can definitely picture 8ball & MJG, Bun B or 'Face spitting over this beat and killing it!!

 

I don't know about you but I can't wait for the new MOP album to drop, expectations are always so high with any release coming from the Brownsville duo. 'The Foundation' should be released in 2009 and apparently will feature production from DJ Premier, Statik Selektah, The Alchemist, Sha Money XL, and Jake One! Stay tuned!!

Snoop Dogg - Xmas...

Ehm...right

J Black feat Snoop "Xmas" released exclusively on MySpace music, check it out here

This is the first single from the upcoming holiday album, "Snoop Dogg presents Christmas in tha Dogg House".

While it's undeniably cool that the single has been released as a preview on MySpace, we're not quite so sure about the track. J Black does his thing singing about the "lovely xmas feeling" on a synth and sax "relax me while I sip my mulled wine" beat...but Snoop rapping (in the last 30 seconds of the track) about Santa and xmas trees??

Maybe we're bad people and we don't get this xmas hip hop stuff...but this ain't the mf'ing snoop we have loved since 93...!

Oh well, lets wait for Christmas in tha Dogg House. It'll also feature the Dogg Pound, and Kurupt wearing a red nose...

One love  ;-)
