OB4CL

I did lots of driving while I was in Tas and the cd I had with me was Only Built 4 Cuban Linx so we spent some quality time together. It shouldn't be news to anyone that that album is amazing. You should go and give it a spin now.

Ice Cream


The rapping on this track is good but Meth totally steals the show. He's done some of the best hooks ever.

Protect Ya Neck

The Wu boys are working hard at the moment:

First, Raekwon's flipped Jigga's Brooklyn (We Go Hard). Dude's definitely going hard at the moment, a stack of his OB4CL2 stuff has been leaking and if that album is ever actually released it should be great.

Raekwon - Staten (We Go Hard)

Next, Ghostface is looking out for the ladies. His Message from Ghostface is a response to the Chris Brown/Rhianna saga.


Finally, Red and Meth are back at it. Hopefully they're working on another album together.

Been a bit out of it lately. You should definitely listen to this:

Kanye: Best beats and best clothes

So Mr West thinks Jay-Z's Blueprint 3 will have the "best hip-hop beats of all time". Good to see he's set his sights low on this one.

But you never know, he might pull it off. I haven't heard the leaked songs yet so I've got no idea which direction he's pushing in, but I guess this album will sell a million in its first week, regardless.

And in other Kanye news, he reckons he 'dresses better than a lot of gay people'. Fair play to Kanye here, he's been pretty consistent about wearing what he wants to wear and not worrying about the comments. It's strange that he can be so secure in his manhood but so insecure in his need to be liked and admired.

The makings of a classic

So apparently Mr Slim Shady has been recording since he stepped out of the public eye in 2005. He's got more than 300 songs, all ready for Relapse, which will be released in March (if Shady/Aftermath ever release any music ever)

Anyway, read this excellent profile from The Independent about Eminem and what sounds like one of the albums of 2009.

Swagga Like Us at the Grammys

The performance is pretty cool and the video is worth watching if only to see M.I.A.'s pregnant ladybug costume.
