GAME OVER

don't usually get on my beyonce independant woman tip, and not a fan of many female mcs in any genre, but i dig this. (it's over tinchy stryder's 'game over' beat).

all about Roxxxan, Lioness, and Mz Bratt.... but lady leshurr goes in hardest.

Big up the femmes.

NEW FACES

Last was a pretty intense and random weekend for me...
For starters, i am homeless...... and have been for two months...... i stay with my family in the country (and that's where all my stuff is) a couple of nights a week, but as i work and play in melbourne, i am on couches the rest of the time... kind of fun, kind of shit. But when NYC is the light at the end of the tunnel i don't really give a fuck!

Went to the Clipse show at melbourne venue the Prince last thursday night, alongside sexpot friend Yumcha and producer genius MPhazes, and courtesy of all round (coolest dude i have ever met in my life) New York mane Ferris Bueller. The show was pretty hot, the crowd loved them, and Yumcha and i loved Pusha's crazy eyes.

Met a few new peeps at the show, and ended up spending the rest of the weekend with Kano and Bashy (UK) who were in town supporting Gorillaz. Now, i am a young lass who is quite into my uk music..... HOWEVER, i have to be honest and say that in the two - maybe 3 - years i have been listening to grime i have barely listened to either of these guys. I definitely heard a little bit of Kano's 2008 release '140 Grime Street' while i was living in London, and i had a few Bashy tracks on an old (and now deceased) mp3 player, but really, i didn't know what these guys were about.

After hanging out with them, i thought i should do a little more research into their music, and was pleasantly surprised on both counts. Here are my favourite tracks i've come across so far:



above track is from 2004, but let's be honest, it's ridiculous.



above is a 2009 release


Here are a few random things i learnt about these two while i was hanging out with them: Bashy is fucking hilarious, down to earth, doesn't drink alcohol, and can fly kick a man in the face. Kano is quietly enigmatic UNTIL he is drunk, when he is very loud and animated, doesn't eat cheese or like dogs (my two favourite things in the world - ouch!), and is happy to accommodate gypsy women.
Both are gentlemen, like pies, and wearing sockettes (so you can't see the any part of the sock out the top of the trainer). Good to know.


i ALSO hung out with Booty Brown of LEGENDARY california based group the Pharcyde a lil bit over the weekend. Now THAT was an honour and a half. Looking forward to linking with the man when i am in LA. Way too many Pharcyde tracks to put here.... debated for aaaages which to choose:



make sure you check out 'passin me by' 'drop' and 'she said' while you're at it.


Always good to meet new people, especially when they've got good souls and are not dickheads. They only have Sydney, Brisbane and NZ to go before the tour is over - get out and see them if you're anywhere nearby.

SWEET JESUS

Well, shit.
It's actually been MONTHS since i wrote anything.
I got a baby brother, had exams for uni and decided i was moving to New York at the end of the year... so it's been pretty hectic.

Will get back on it tomorrow.

RAPPERTAG

Aus Hiphop scallywag 360 came up with the awesome rappertag concept - using youtube as the medium. He passed it on to Urthboy, who passed it on to Brad Strut (Melbourne hiphop king or not, i met Brad Strut when i was 16 and a very big fan of Lyrical Commission and he was a total cunt to me), who passed it on to my turd of a flatmate Fraksha. Here's what he came up with:



love ya work Fraks.

Be interesting to see what Bias comes up with, and shouts to 360 for the idea - I'm curious to see how far this thing goes.

THE MOST AWESOME

Pretty much.

TELL YOUR MAMA

UK Grime artist JME's remix of RED's "I should tell ya mama on you" is LARGE. RED is a homeless beatboxing genius from LA, who The Fader described as sounding"like Ginuwine filtered through Roger Troutman and performed by a 90-year-old barbershop singer." This dude's story has only just begun. Youtube him.

On repeat.

HUWBA

The delectable Huw Joseph will be playing at Red Bennies (Chapel st) on Sat 25th Sept and Sun 26th Sept as part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival. Go see him. OR you could spend the $13 on 3/5 of a movie ticket to go and watch Step Up 3. But...you know.... that'd be shit. The Huw Joseph Experience won't be.....So, it's up to you really.

VAN DAAAAYUM!

WHAT A TINY TREAT

Well this looks like a pretty average photo of one side of my psychology tute room at melbourne university. standard chairs. standard table. pretty awesome view of my beautiful city.... wait a sec, is there something written on that bit of wall just under the window?... Surely no one would bother to graffiti inside a tute room at uni...



Yeah, yeah i think there IS something there...

JESUS

Jesus is technically Jewish, right? Jesus is son of god, right? Jesus is black, right? Jesus rocked around the middle east when he was alive, but is now EVERYWHERE, right?
WRONG!!!!!!!
Jesus is pink and is in my sister's pocket at Trentham Primary School.
Ain't nothin you can do about it.

TELL US WHAT YOU REAAALLY THINK

"lynch them in the back alley"
