I want to unbuy the album by "Roll Deep", I got it 'cus I was at work and wanted some new Hip Hop, and it was on top of the charts.
The album is pretty shit, and I've just seen them on the telly, and they're all complete and utter cocks.

Can you donate digital downloads to charity or something?

You should have downloaded it first.
On a mildly related note, "Gimmie Shelter" by the Rolling Stones is one of my favourite songs.
However, I am unable to listen to it all the way through. Every. Single. Time. I put the song on,
somebody rings me, shouts me, interupts me in some way. I don't understand.

I'm trying to find new Hip Hop, prefably, but not nessesarly, british/london.
It has to be hip hop where I can understand the lyrics though, rap is shit when it's all that "REAH TEAH TEAH" pesudo yardie bullshit, that stuff can fuck off. And if the whole album is "I am so great, you are not." or "I'm still Jenny from the Block, but look at the diamonds I've got" shit, then that can go do one too.

I love them, the first album more than the second though.
Other bands/albums along these lines that I've rinced
- Devlin: Blood, Sweat and Beers.... I don't like his other albums.
- Plan B: [the latest one [with the remixes]], Who Needs Actions When You've Got Words
- Most of Eminem's stuff.
- Most of Dizzee Rascal's stuff.
- Most of Will Smith's stuff.
- A few albums by Dirty Diggers

Seen them twice, they're awesome live. I also prefer the first, but there are some great songs on the second.
Hmmm, listen to Dr. Syntax. Try him. EDIT: Also, Bashy.

I'm going to try and not dismiss Sean Paul on this one and listen to the song, but there hasn't been a single thing he's done that I like.
Actually, while typing this I'm listening, and it's also not really my thing. I'm pretty sure the only link Sean Paul has with Jamaca is that the yarddie he used to buy groccories from's gran once visited jamaca on a cruise of the carab.

Nah, he's well popular back a yard, fe real
just releases commercial stuff here. Bit like Shaggy, innit tho.
(, Sun 21 Nov 2010, 12:43, archived)
Yeh', I ain't a fan of Shaggy eaither.
I think it's the whole jamacan thing.

I'll use someone else as an example of something I really hate, as I know this one for fact. There is a girl on The Food Network, I forgot her name, but it begins with 'G', Gina Something I think. She's American, and is always going on about growing up in Italy, about memories of walking through the markets, going to the fields to pick grapes, all really romantic memories. She was (i think) 4 or 6 when she moved from Italy to the States. As far as I'm concerned, she grew up in America. Personally, I can't remember too much of that age, yeah', sure, a few bits'n'bobs, but she's dismissed her entire american herratage, which is strong and rich in it's own right. Comparing living memory of 'growing up', from the ages of about 4 'till mid teens, or even mid 20s, doesn't really mean she was "bought up" in italy. She has italian culture in her family, she has italian heratidge, but she was bought up in the states... same with me, I have the same thing with jewish culture, but I'm a Londoner and a Brit, as that is where I spent my childhood... it would be like me saying I'm kenyan because I went on holiday there a lot as a kid.

I *think* without knowning, that Sean Paul and Shaggy are the same.

When people used to come back from holiday, they had to tell the rest of the class what they learnt on holiday.
So I proudly showed everyone the few words I knew, showed off the little massi figureines that I bought back, the photos of the safaris.... I was the coolest kid proudly saying "Akuna Matarta", but then Lion King came out about 6 months later and everyone thought I stole it from there =(

yep, that's me out and all.

I've listened to them all now, and a few others by clicking on related, and they're not my cup of tea.
There is something about 80s/90s hip hop that follows a fasion of "da da da DAA, da da da DAA, da da da DAA", that I find quite generic and primary-school'ish, a lot of Will Smith's early work is like that.

It's not that it's bad, it's just that it's not my thing, that they all sound very similar, and I don't find any of the lyrics inspired at all.

Oh phew,
First song I checked was "Gunshots", which ain't my thing, but I moved onto "JAIL TALES 2" which I quite like, that's the sort of thing, maybe perhaps with the less 'my n*gger' stuff.

Try "Keep Up" or "Licence To Skill"

Gold Panda are good too.
Caitlin Rose is just completely average alt-country, no idea why she's at number 4.

Well...
Gimme Shelter is one of my fav songs.

For your own good I command you to switch of your mobile, unplug your land line, put on some headphones so you cannot hear the doorbell and listen to it at least twice :-)
