If I hear Chris Brown make another apology regarding his abusive self I think I'm actually gonna throw up. I almost did when I saw the title (and the horrendous cover) for the lead single from his upcoming album "Graffiti" (drops December 15th): 'I Can Transform Ya'.Tru dat, he transformed Rihanna into this black moody sad girl. Yeah, I pin it all on Chris Brown. I wish I could see pass by all his
Lil Wayne sure has his hands full these days. Or I might say, he will have, 'til February next year to be exact, then he's due for the sentencing for pledging guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon and is expected to receive a one-year jail sentence. He and T.I. will more or less trade places. One in, one out.But that's in the future, now is now. And now, "Rebirth", Weezy F Baby's ...
Danish pride (besides cheap beer and red sausages that is) Lucy Love graces us once again with another great video. This time around it's for the Yo Akim produced 'I'm In Love With It', the 3rd single from her highly reviewed debut album "Superbillion". The video that was shot during a long night out in the forest in the end of September is directed by Thomas Jessen:Listen to Lucy Love "Superbi...
Do I need to tell u that I'm pretty bummed out that I'm not in NYC this week as the CMJ Music Marathon is on at full effect with several wicked showcases and parties? Like the one tonight at SANTOS PARTY HOUSE with Poirier, Ninjasonik and others? Probably not. But I'm not missing out completely thou, because in celebration of the first Elitaste CMJ showcase, DJ Benzi put together this mixtape f...
Yepp, another leak from Timbaland's upcoming album "Shock Value 2" featuring miss Keri Hilson and Jay-Z.Yeah okay, I have to admit, the album seems to turn out pretty good after all. Sometimes I just get so annoyed never getting served anything new from the good old Timbo, other than this, a continuation of the previous album, but I guess as long as the tracks makes my lil' ass move I'm fine? ...
Dizzee Rascal completely tore up Camden's Roundhouse yesterday with his big performance with a live band and the 16-piece Heritage Orchestra behind him at the BBC Electric Proms.Huge set list as always and he graced the kinda stiff audience with several classics such as one of my fave Dizzee-tunes of all time: 'Jezebel'. Another one of the tracks he performed was of course 'Dirtee Cash', the fo...
The Big Pink's first single 'Dominos' from their debut album "A Brief History Of Love" (out now on 4AD) has slowly become one of my on the edge to embarrassing guilty pleasures this week. Yeah, I know, shockingly... Usually I can't stand that sort of music as it reminds a bit too much of my pop-ish self around 16 years old... but 'Dominos' is really really catchy I guess. And like wham bam than...
Sure, Rihanna have had a pretty shitty year, which also shows on her clothing, she's just all black. Black on the inside and black on the outside? Wouldn't be surprised if she did a cover of The Simth's old 'Unlovable' or Johnny Cash's 'Back In Black' soon. Well, lame jokes a side, her latest solo single in more than a year that leaked yesterday is no exception from the black theme but who woul...
Kano's 'Rock N Roller' (gets released the 26th) is not my favourite track in the world, think everyone knows it by now and yesterday I was afraid that Kane Brett Robinson had lost it completely when he unleashed this snippet of 'NWMOS' (Niggas Want My Old Shit):Produced by Mikey J and samples Jay-Z’s 'On To The Next One' from "The Blueprint 3". First of all, where do I send the big slice of hum.
I've said it before but this is worth a repeat: It's always an absolute delight for me to read them e-mails from the Australian label Sweat It Out. In 9 cases of 10 they contain good music and in 10 cases of 10 amazing cover artwork.This time was no exception of course. From the depths of the nocturnal jungle, where lions are not the biggest cats and silence not the greatest calm, comes 'Night ...
The Clipse's upcoming album "Til the Casket Drops", was originally set to drop in two days or so but now Malice & Pusha T suffers yet another postponement with their follow up to 2006's great success "Hell Hath No Fury", the new release date is set to the 8th of December. But there's no need for tears, in the wait we can comfort ourselves with the offical remix of 'I'm Good' featuring the big b...
Here's finally the much talked about short movie starring KanYe West directed by Spike Jonze (Sofia Coppola's former husband). The plot for "We Were Once A Fairytale" is based on an idea developed by Jonze (who directed both music videos for KanYe's 'Flashing Lights' and 'See You In My Nightmares'), who then reached out to KanYe under the filming of the latter with the belief that he'd be perfe...
Lady GaGa's new single 'Bad Romance' premiered earlier today on BBC Radio 1 and boy did miss GaGa put some truth behind those words when she stated that the final version would be so much better than the leaked one that got sent around the blogsphere like a zoot? Yeah, cause let me just say... wow... Simply wow! The final official version is like a zillion times better! RahRahAhahaaaah RohMaRoh...
I hate most electro and I hate funkadelic so the outlook for me and the Canadian electrofunk duo Chrome never where good to begin with. But despite that, I actually enjoyed some tracks from their previous album "Fancy Footwork".This new single 'Night By Night' however, no, I'm not feeling it, at all. Remixes however tend to be an easier way for me to digest things I don't enjoy and Skream's slo...
Oh! I just have to say, I love Sundays! I've always did and this particular Sunday has been really good soo... Why not round off this week and start the new one, with some nyce dubstep remixes of... Major Lazer? Even if them first two both are of 'Hold The Line' they are very different. First up the one from Croydon's pride and joy (besides GoldieLocks) Skream, which contains epic drum rolls, ...
Silverlink's soca/grime smash 'The Message Is Love' ft. Badness and Jammer was one of THEM tracks of summer 2008 and the line "Please Don't Push Me I Want Nookie" was on my mind all the time. Now it's fall of 2009 but it doesn't matter, No Hats No Hoods thought it was only right to bring it back once again, linked up with some one of them hottest names right now, who all put the track into thei...
This collabo for Shakria's follow up single to 'She Wolf' is just as basic as them A B C's and 1 2 3's. U know, the usual drill: the hot girl, the typical hip hop in demand Timbo production and sprinkles of Lil Wayne on top, just to get the right amount of hype. I'm not hating, I love it just by the fact that it's all so easy and it contains no annoying she wolf-screams for sure.But the best pa...
Kinda funny that I mentioned Madonna in the prevous Lady GaGa-post I did earlier tonight and all of a sudden this new leak emerges like jack in the box? It reminds a bit of Madonna's old 'La Isla Bonita', nearly the only Madonna-track I actually dislike. I take old Madonna over the new any day but 'La Isla Bonita' is just too much for me. Kinda like the movie Lambada. I get chills down the spin...
