Aw, it's like being a kid again!

Don't worry too much about why the monster has a regular voice, this is just test footage. I cannot wait for this. With Spike Jonze directing, it could be the most faithful adaptation of a children's book since James & The Peach.

What? No Dhalsim?

*Sigh* It's not hard. Why do people keep doing this? Street Fighter is perfect movie fodder. How have they messed this up so bad?

Now, it's not the source material. Because the animes are brilliant. Clearly, some idiot producer just doesn't know what they're doing. I mean, a Chun-Li movie? With Kristen Krueg in the lead?! *shakes head*

It's a sad day for film.

KANYE? NO WAY!!

This is Kanye West's latest shoe design. You would have seen the others in posts I made, apart from the fact someone keeps getting them deleted! Anytime I post Kanye's music, rather than message me, either someone from his music management or his website management messages Blogger & gets the post removed.

I'm not trying to hurt Kanye's career. I'm trying to promote him. I buy his releases legally & I encourage my readers to do the same. It doesn't matter though because I will never write another post about the man again. it's just not worth the hassle.

I want one!!

The Notorious soundtrack is out in shops & iTunes today. Go get it. Not cos Puffy needs another million, but becuase it features a stupid amount if unreleased Biggie tracks as well as classic material & great new tracks form the likes of Jigga, Jadakiss & more.

There's been a ton of Obama tees sine he first ran for pres, but I think this by far the cleverest & best looking. Cannot wait to cop this when it drops.

Eye Know Eye'll Love You Better

With anticipation building for what could be the rap release of the year, Jay-Z releases this remix of his Pharrell featured single from 2007 's American Gangster.

It's a Rabid Rapper exclusive, so enjoy :)

Sure, the movie looks terrible, but Paramore rock & this video is four minutes of Hayley Williams goodness. *Sigh* I do love that woman.

Is Kanye the best? Mullet over

To anyone disputing Kanye's fashion icon status:

YES WE CAN!!

That pretty much sums it up nicely. Congrats President Obama & congrats America.

Video: B.B. Manik- MaDnEsS

ah, the moment is finally at hand. July 20th (also my birthday) sees the release of my debut album Tales Of A Rabbid Rapper. In the months leading up to it, I will be releasing some videos & singles. The lyrics featured in this version are actually from the 2006 version of "MaDnEsS", the album will contain different vocals.

You can purchase the version heard here on my mixtape Super-Hero Chronicles from my store.

This is a rough cut, but please enjoy! & let me know what you think

Instead of treated,we get tricked..

The almighty HardKnock returns this Wednesday, to London's Social. If you're about, head on down as you won't get a better night of entertainment. And it's free!

The first event of 09 features Raw Riddim artist Dreams performing with his crew Sub Universe. They'll also be DJ sets from Logan Sama, Nasty Jack & Kashmir Kid. So, be there or be a wasteman. & no one wants thta now, do they?

It's ONNN!!!!

Okay, if you don't know the story, I'll try & recap as simply as possibly:
1) Saigon punched Prodigy of Mobb Deep & then ran off at a show in New York.
2) Joe Budden rapped the line "I hit & run like Saigon"
3) Saigon took offence
4) It's on!!!

GET OUT THE CAR!!!

Some say grime is dead. And with Dizzee doing tracks with Calvin Harris and Roll Deep making ska, you might be inclined to believe them. But, just like underground rap, grime is still alive, you just have to look for it.
You cannot deny the genre still has some amazing talent. Passionate & skilled MCs abound. Among them: Double S, Mz Bratt, Freezi, Badness & of course, Tempa T.
The latter shines on this,a track that is rumoured to be the first single from his long awaited debut album. It's probably not even his best track, which speaks volumes for just how talented he is.

Tempa T-Next Hype

09's First blockbuster?

Very few games have a sense of humour or intelligence about them nowadays (Rockstar games catalogue notwithstanding) & it's made for a slew of sub par "blockbusters" as of late.
Introducing Eat Lead. This years first classic in the making tells the story of a fictional game icon (modeled after Duke Nukem et al). Aware he's in a game, Matt finds himself hopping genres when some of the code in his program gets muddled up. Interesting concept, I'm hoping the execution is just as slick.
The game should be out this summer, in the meantime, check Matt's fansite:

She goes hard

Santogold certainly is making moves. No female rapper has made this much noise since..well, Santi's good friend M.I.A. But, where Maya made noise with ecletic backing tracks & unique verses, Santogold just takes it back to that old boom bap. After murdering Jigga on his on track, she returns with this 09 version of her 08 hit.


Santogold- Shuv It (ft. Three 6 Mafia & Project Pat)

Video: Slim Thug- I Run

Generally, 80s sampling rap tunes just don't work because the producers don't get the source material. Trust Slim Thug to be the exception. Pharrell's favourite southern rapper returns with what looks set to be a summer hit.
Here's hoping the rest of the album is this banging.

VIdeo: Daft Punk-Aerodynamic (Adam Freeland Remix)

It's a shame that it took so long to come out, cos the Obama theme is kinda played out now, but still, this is very dope.

"Now, here's a list of MCs that could kill you in 8 bars: 50...um Jay-Z & Nas"-50 Cent, Your Life's On The Line

Fiddy has always been one of the greatest mcs to walk the Earth, but unfortunately his recent output has been rather lazy.

Well, that all changes with this unreleased gem. Produced by Dj Premier, this sees 50 back on top form. Wordplay, first class lyricism & expert flow are all displayed here to silence the doubters. Bring on the new LP!

I Like Her The Way She Are

Ever since she rocked the chorus on "Hot In Herre", Keri Hilson has been creating hits for everyone from Xzibit to Chris Brown, Nas, Britney, the list goes on.
Well, after a veryyyyyyy long wait, she finally breaks out with her own solo debut album, produced entirely by Polow Da Don & Timbaland. The first single "Energy" was a bit of a dud, but the rest of what I've heard so far sounds incredible :)

Bring on the LP!

Keri Hilson- Alienated

Ever since Gravy was cast as rap legend Biggie Smalls, fans have been sceptical. However, the leaked clips & cinema trailer has sparked anticipation for the biopic. One of the elements which has garnered the most praise is the soundtrack. & here, exclusively , are 3 highlights. Enjoy:

Hey y'all. I know, I know, I've been slipping. But, start as you mean to go on & all that. From now, there will be a post a day at least & 3 downloads every week, at least. I promise!
