Level - Dumb Dick Remix FT. Mystikal &... →
If birdman doesn’t allow mystikal to use mannie fresh for his (upcoming ?) album on cash money, he should at least let him rap over mouse’s beats.
Shady Blaze - Aimin at my light →
Shady is a talented super fast double time rapper, but here he slows it down, and it works really well too. In the future I could see him evolve into a slower technically technical rapper the same way jay-z did in the 90’s (not on the same level obvsly).
ps : This beat is great

Some 'vintage' James Leyland Kirby →
V/VM - White death.
A release based around the account of Valerian Albanov and his crew of sailors who aboard the Saint Anna were left trapped in pack ice. It’s a tail of survival in the extremes.

Every rap mixtape should end with a beat like this one.

Bubble Eye - Talkin’ Shit, Manly Shit
his rhyme pattern is very close to king louie’s, but not as well executed.
Mark Fell & Peter Rehberg - Kubu / Zikir
According to Wikipedia, Kubu designs a group of people living on Sumatra and Zikir is a traditional chant from Malaysia. It seems like, after Cut Hands, two other european electronic musicians are taking notes from the virtues of traditional third world music. On the other hand, since I know nothing about malaysian music, this is probably a really loose association. But the thing is that, just...

In praise of late period Soulja Slim.
When people talk about Soulja Slim, his first album, “give it 2 em raw”, often seems to stand as his best one. Of course there’s some reasons : it’s a pretty good album, from no limit’s best-connected-to-the-new-orleans-audience artist, released at the time of the label’s commercial peak and it’s definitely part of the no limit canon. But...

I went to see Cut Hands’ live show this weekend. I had to. Because, you know… i heard the album (which is incredible). The show is easy to describe : William Bennett wears a classy and dark suit, and stands behind his two laptops. He seems to be doing things while images from the album’s artwork and from the ‘ethnofiction’ “les maitres fous” are projected...

Jacques Chiraq Drillinois
2011 has been a pretty good year for new (to my ears) rappers so far. One of the last i got into is King Louie. Hailing from eastside chicago blah blah blah (*biz markie voice*)… He’s your regular hard guy from the hood, with materialistic motives. He’s also really good at rapping.
I think this song is the best case in his favor. It is 3 minutes of pure rap perfection. Obviously...
