Black Belt
mp3: Busy Signal - Black Belt
mp3: Busy Signal - Black Belt (Sabbo Remix)
Busy Signal to di world! Busy kjører på med nok en eksperimentell låt, denne gang med riddim fra Kirkledove /Jukeboxx. Produktiv som få. Sjekk også de to kinda nye videoene til Voicemail og en eller annen hawt chick med Busy starring, bwoy got dat mojo. Edde Stats om Busy's mangfoldighet og orginalitet:
"but Busy Signal in particular has made his appearance so many times it’s a joke. In fact it’s gone past farce and into tragedy; he comes with palm-worthy tunes so regularly that I am actually angry at him, although I guess I should be mad at the rest of dancehall and the world for failing to match his level of constant originality."
"however, “Black Belt” would not be ignored. Busy again sets the standard for matching lyrics and concepts in dancehall, stuttering and chopping up syllables hibachi-style—“Bone crush out like a fockin hippopotamus / so we rise the sh-sh-shotty fuss”—over a minimal RZA meets Dave Kelly track made almost solely from kung fu sound effects. And clearly I’m not the only one who’s feeling the crush. I was re-listening to the track for the eighth time, wrestling with the microscopic Busy devil on one shoulder saying, Put it in! and the Busy-angel on the other saying, Give somebody else a bligh.."
Jamaican dancehall ban?
WorldFocus reports on Jamaicas Broadcasting Commission ban on dancehall music and images of daggering on radio and tv.
"Grace Hamilton, known as Spice, is one of Jamaica’s most prominent Dancehall artists. She and Vybz Kartel came under attack for their duet “Rampin’ Shop.” Not all of Spice’s songs are so sexually graphic. In the video below, Spice talks (and sings) about growing up in Jamaica’s ghettos.!"
Mer daggering - No daggerin’ on Jamaican TV and on Worldfocus.
"Music will always be an easy scape goat
....it's a lot easier than dealing with the actual socio economic issues plaguing society that are causing the actual problems that need to be addressed and corrected. Requires less money, less commitment, less in general. here it is. Musical content in the issue so let's start impose censory bans and all teenage prenancy rates will decline, all crime rates will decline, all moral corruption in general will be abolished yadda yadda yadda - they know better but it's to target music than actually deal with the issues.
The artists speaking on what is going on in their community, who have come up through their art should now be penalized and hindered futher because they speak on what is going on around them.
Completely logical no? Smh"

Triumph (director's commentary)
Wu-Tang Clan - Triumph (1997) fra albumet Wu-Tang Forever (spotify).
To give you a taste of his resume, we selected six of our favorite Brett Ratner-directed videos—including bangers from Wu-Tang, D’Angelo, and Public Enemy—and asked the man himself to give a little commentary about how each classic came together. Believe us, the man’s got stories for days...
Read more: http://www.complex.com
DIRECTOR’S COMMENTARY:
“It was the first million dollar rap video. When Steve Rifkind asked me, I said, ‘Are you sure about this record? There’s no chorus!’ He says “Trust me, its gonna be the biggest record of the year. Only Wu-Tang could pull this off.’ So, I set up the video—Joseph Kahn was my cinematographer. I hear that they want eleven Suburbans—they each want their own. They each also want $50,000 worth of gear, and they told me all their designers. So first day, these guys are walking in one at a time, and each guy walks into the dressing room, and walks out with plastic bags filled with all the clothes. I called Steve like, ‘They’re stealing all the clothes!’ He’s like, ‘Don’t worry, let them have it.’”
“It’s a five day shoot, and it’s crazy. The greatest fuckin’ experience, they’re eating mushrooms the whole time. Ol’ Dirty never shows up. I was like, Oh my god, this is fucking insane! The most fun I ever had. After shooting ends, they all leave to go on tour in Europe, but Ghost never would travel, because he had diabetes. So he checks into a hotel, and they said, ‘Yo Ghost, you watch Brett, and watch over that edit, man. White devil could fuck it up!” So, we’re in the edit room, and we call the group on speakerphone. And it’s the funniest thing, this is embedded in my memory. They’re all on the phone like, ‘White muthafuckin’ devil, man, tryin’ to rob us motherfucker!’ And Ghost is looking at me while on speakerphone, just winking at me like, I love you man! [laughs].”
“So three days into the edit, I get a call that Ghost had had been kicked out of like eleven hotels, and I’m like, ‘Why were you kicked out?’ He’s like, ‘I don’t know man, I got fucked up, and I just start breaking shit. Can you come get me? I got no place to stay.’ So I let him stay at my house. Suddenly my phone rings, and it’s Steve Rifkind, ‘Whats going on?’ I go, ‘Nothing, I’m just bringing Ghost over my house ’cause he got kicked out of the hotel.’ Then there’s silence on the other end of the phone. I say, ‘Whats wrong?’ He goes, ‘I gotta call you back.’ Five days later, he calls me up and goes, ‘Are you okay? Oh my God, you scared the shit outta me, man. How can you let this guy stay at your house? I don’t even let these guys know where I live!’ I go, ‘What do you mean? He’s the nicest guy in the world.’ He goes, ‘You don’t know what Ghostface has? He hallucinates, he hears voices like kill your mom, kill your mom. He has to be medicated because he has homicidal thoughts.’ So a month goes by, and I would edit all day, and Ghost would just chill at my house until we finished. A month later, I’m with my girlfriend in the backyard, and the cat starts going fucking crazy and starts digging into the dirt. We dig up a bucket of fried chicken. Ghost buried a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken in the backyard. How fuckin’ freaky is that?”

Bandittan rater Stephen "Di Genius" McGregor som faen. Auto-tune ser ikke ut til å dø ut på Jamaica med det første, til tross for Jay-Zs låt D.O.A. Di Genius utnytter dette og prøver å gjøre som Timbaland, og prøver seg med synging på enkelte av produksjonene sine. Vi får se om han gjør like stor suksess med det...
Her er en låt han nylig har lagd med Mavado
Han har tidligere også laget en låt med Vybz Kartel.

Jamaican skaters
JAMAICAN SKATERS
B.B.B. …BULL BAY BOWL…KINGSTON….JAMNESIA…
Here are some shots I took on my previous trip to Jamaica. To most people, skating in Jamaica sounds as bizarre
as the ice bobsled team, but it is in full effect and growing..fast. The kids are embracing it and showing some serious effort. I wouldnt be surprised to find that just as Jamaica harbors the worlds fastest runner, if nurtured, there may be some serious skate talent in Jamaica. Im curious to see who will be the smartest brand to pick up on this opportunity first. All the kids need is gear and support in return for an evolution of the sport. The kids go hard.

I SHOULD TELL YA MAMA ON YOU
"Red, a homeless gentleman in Los Angeles, showed up behind the HVW8 gallery late last year and proceeded to beatbox/sing his original composition “I Should Tell Your Mama On You,” which sounds like Ginuwine filtered through Roger Troutman and performed by a 90-year-old barbershop singer. It is amazing."
ARAS SAYS AMAZING!
Pitchfork says "one brilliantly strange song.".
Noteable quoteables:
"Smokin on that granddaddy/ Make you wanna slap ya grandmammy/ Make you wanna hit that laffy taffy…”
“Here we go aaaagain/ Me and my lonesome ass friends…”
“We about to get hyphy with it/ You claim that you don’t like me, quit it"

WARRRR
Kriginga når et nytt nivå. Bounty vs Kartel.
new chune update - some thought because of his uncharacteristically slow response to Bounty Killer’s two new diss songs, that he was waiting until tonight at Champions In Action to unleash. However, Vybz Kartel has indeed fired back with a new single, saying he’ll kill Bounty Killer’s three songs with just this one.
"men det är kul att se Bounty arg ännu en gång. Tillsammans med "In the building", "Mek a duppy" och "Ending of dem road" har Killer redan flera gångbara warchunes än på flera år. Någon framförde teorin om att Killer inte kan ge sig på Kartel på Kartel-manér, dvs ett utdraget glirande och indirekta dissar, Killer måste ge sig på Kartel head on, som han gjorde med Monster Empire i fjol exempelvis om han inte vill se sig bekämpad av Kartel. Nu har vi ju i alla fall tillräckligt på benen för att se att det inte för sig om någon "beating around the bush"."

TrulsPuls har mixet sammen en finfin mix som han la ut på soundcloud, hiv den på og enjoy. Han la også opp en mix som han og NuTeQ, Defintion Of iLL, laget som duoen Floora i 1999, scroll så finn du mer musikk. Et par tima med gooo musikk her.A pre-summermix of dubstep and related sounds including some soon to be released tracks from the 65 fam!
Released by: 65 Records
This is the legendary mix made by Floora in 1999 using 4 decks
and crappy mixers. The whole session was recorded on a minidisc player and led
the duo to an 8 rcords deal with EMI. The Floora mix was never released due to
licensing hell. Hehehe:) seems like majors went out of style appr. at the same
time as minidiscs.
