Tornts - Lost Highway
Tasmania's own Tornts has just put out a new album, Hell's Burn. This is one of a couple of videos from his new stuff. He's rhyming lots more these days.
These are my favourite lines:
These are my favourite lines:
Fear and loathing in outer MelbourneGenius.
Sounding paranoid like Hunter Thompson
In a desert phonebooth
The Weasels are coming for me
Demon wings try to claw me

The song and the sample - Ghostface and The Delfonics
I love this Ghostface track, it's off The Pretty Toney Album.
Ghostface - Holla. He doesn't so much sample as just rap over the top of the complete song.
The Delfonics - La La Means I Love You

yeah, i don't like kanye west's music...
found this
i must confess i haven't heard many songs on the list but i'm down with the idea that rappers who can't sing, shouldn't
the most prominent rapper/singer of recent times is not on this list - cee-lo - and i don't like his music either. dangermouse should get back to producing mf doom (i do like his work on the new beck album though)

The song and the sample - Wu Tang edition
The song:
Hollow Bones - Wu Tang
The sample:
Is it Because I'm Black - Syl Johnson
I was sitting in a cafe earlier this year when they chucked on a Syl Johnson cd. It was great! It's been a bit of a gateway to soul for me. So many of his songs have been sampled over the years. RZA has definitely mined lots of gold from his albums. Another example is Different Strokes sampled on Wu Tang's Shame on a Nigga.

Telling it like it is
Over the last month or so I've been listening almost exclusively to the Leaders of the New Cool mixtape. I've really enjoyed it and I haven't had the chance to talk to anyone about it yet so get ready for a spray.
The Knux remain a group worth checking out. You should buy their album Remind Me in 3 Days. So should I. Maybe you can buy it for me.
;)
I've tried out the Pacific Division before and been unimpressed but this time they totally won me over. They bring a Brand Nubian sort of style on the track Wake Up. More work needs to be done here.
B.o.B is cool. I'd seen his name floating around and never chased him up. Now I with I'd done it earlier.
He's got something of The Teacher about him but is less preachy. He's just dropped a mixtape which I haven't listened to yet but that'll be my next port of call.
The Cool Kids are the most vacuous group in hip hop which quite possibly makes them the most vacuous group in music. Still, they've got their charm and 'Delivery Man' is enjoyable.
Some people laud Charles Hamilton as if he's the future of hip hop but I can't see it. He can be ok but is totally hit and miss.
I'd dismissed Mickey Factz before but this mixtape has given me some respect for him. When I listen to him I think of all that Kanye might have been. I don't think I'd get his cd but his presence on the 'tape is cool.
Tanya Morgan is a strange name for a group of three male rappers. I'm really into Tanya Morgan for Von Pea and I'd prefer it if Von Pea, Elucid and Spec Boogie teamed up as a group. Still, Tanya Morgan are worth a listen. Von Pea also has a mixtape for you to download.
