Dub in ya face

Decided to get my arse in gear and arrange what festivals I'm going to in order to get the best out of my summer music wise and holiday wise... New York being a pretty damn good start I've decided that the only logical way is up, that is if god loves me and wants my 21st year to be one without tantrums and sporadic bursts of extreme violence from lack of entertainment... however being the degenerated hobo I appear to be these last few months it's proved fucking hard to plan any events as I've been ridiculously stank with no money in the bank. Trust, it is not as cool as the swizz beats song, just a bum like existence.

In a bid to make monies I've churned out a couple of articles... going to make that magazine I now write for give me money for them so I can fund my trip to Budapest for Sziget in August but for the month of June, it's all about dub... In the spirit of festival fun and the fact I'm not always an antisocial internet freak I'm inviting everyone. If you're reading this consider it an official invite... I forsee MESSYYY times, falling about proclaiming my love for all with emphasis on some sort of profound understanding I'll share with someone over a mutual appreciation for a dirty bassline, a sudden adoration for everything and an increased interest in the feel of different fabrics.

This is the second Dub festival and will be on Friday 12th June with "over 30 of Dubsteps Finest" and only in London Bridge for all you lazy mofos. Mmm beats, hoodies and Shy FX, I'm obviously there. Dubstep Festival is THE ONE.


...something to get you in mood "a heavy bassline is my kind of silence..."-

Tempz "Next Hype" (Music Video)

The most aggy Grime tune of 2009. In fact, it's the most aggy track I've heard in ages...FLOL at the Westwood skit at the beginning as well!

"YOUR PAR GAME IS WEAK, DAWG!"

Nike Hypermax "Tennis Ball" & "McFly"

The Hypermax is the follow-on from last year's Hyperdunk, which if you remember, had the ultra-limited Marty McFly colourway - aka the Hyperdunk 2015. And yes, I'm still fiending for a pair.

At the moment, two colourways have been spotted on the web...

The "Tennis ball" model features a colored upper accented by a white swoosh and white midsole. Nike has even gone to the extent of coating the entire upper in a felt material reminiscent of an actual tennis ball, similar to the ALIFE x Reebok Tennis Pump from a few years back. Another key aspect of this pair is the lack of flywire technology. Defnitely very loud, but I'm down with these...



The second colourway seems to be inspired by the Hyperdunk 2015 - Grey and powder blue, plus the addition of hot pink...Dope.



Now we just need to get them to finally release the Nike Mag.

Via Sneaker Files

BONUS! Sneaker Files have also put up a list of the Nike Basketball sneakers that have been released over the years...Well, most of them...Very informative!

the name of the game is...

Nike Air Max 95 & Big Nike "Wolverine Vs. Sabretooth" Pack

EPIC FAIL!

Saying that, I'm sure they'll go well with your X-Men costumes when it's Halloween.

Twitter Jam.

This Twitter song is by K000l K0jak and Andy Mil0nakis.... an accurate representation of the world of the tweet... Go on you effeminate looking, slightly overweight hero! What a legend... 

On that note follow me on Twitter,- http://twitter.com/Bwalya_ You'd be correct in thinking I have absolutely no shame...

Relapse Leakage.

First the Xmen Wolverine film, then Cassie's tata's (conveniently timed with her next singing debacle, my girl should stick to the whole black kate moss ish) now Ems Relapse album's leaked... standardly I grabbed my free loving student mitts on it ASAP. Regardless of the best things in life being free, some one is quite blatantly going to get the SACK, shame... leaking a critically acclaimed artist's album a week before it's release= FAIL at job.

Album cover- mosaic of pills to make up his face... got to love the commitment to the prescription drugs.

I've got to be honest I totally expected to hate this album, in fact to be perfectly honest I wanted nothing more than to hate Relapse (haterrrr). I was jamming with everyone else in the hate wagon (you may have heard me say he's probably addicted to robutussin) However Em has managed to weave once again an intricate tapestry of half truths, witty social commentary and painful personal realities; his content, delivery and flow is on point.

As per usual we have some hilarious skits in it, one that I feel particularly highlights the general feel of the album is 'Paul (Skit)'... "ahh em it's paul... ahh I just listened to the entire album and you've got to be fucking kidding me I mean with this Christopher Reeve shit, you know the guys dead right? and then the whole gay stepfather incest rape thing, I don't have your back on this one I can't even fucking handle it. I'm done."

After giving this album a good couple of listens it's reminded me of something that rings true with most tortured artists, musicians and poets (and I guess to a certain degree you and I alike) is as Philip Larkin former poet laureate so eloquently put it, "They Fuck you up your mum and dad, they may not mean to but they do". As you listen to Relapse being familiar with Eminem's family history you see the repercussions of his past seep into his present. He still however manages to forcibly draw you into his subconscious painting twisted scenarios with narrative ease and flair. True to form, he goes hard on a lot of topics and people (OBVIOUSLY his mum) conjoined twins, Nick Cannon, Mariah Carey and a whole host of other females (yeah that's right I AM indeed calling Nick Cannon a lil bitch). Nothing is sacred, I mean this is coming from the man that once said "put anthrax on your tampax and slap you till you can't stand" Though delivering the old Em that we all know and love with surface jokes that teeter on the edge of being criminally insane he conveys using snippets of his past the reason he has a tortured present and most likely future.

Relapse a two part CD largely produced by Dre bar a couple tracks which are either a joint collaboration ('We Made You') or done by Em himself ('Beautiful') brings a completely different sound to the normal Mr. NWA that we're used to but as always with the beats it's an outstanding production, each track following on really nicely. Even though I'm still not feeling 'We Made You' it's clear that Relapse is an undeniably conscientious production. There are so many mentionable tracks in the album it's untrue, 'Hello' Has a great beat and I absolutely love the blues esque piano intro in 'Crack A Bottle', the Dre and Em combo of course delivers to the highest standard... Then enters fuckwit-Fiddy and you're literally sat there BEGGING for him to complete the song but as per usual he's chatting about shit I don't fucking care about and is generally the same shallow boring wasteman thus ruining the ending and depicting tha t he is blatantly only in there on a mates rates policy. 'Old Times Sake' takes us back to the days of 'Guilty Conscious' the dynamic duo back lyrically enthralling the masses- "nah nah he aint playing he gone take the AA and aim it right at your brain" "Dre get on the mic and make them dribble and shake" Dre claims to have the midas touch when rolling in this track (one wonders if he would roll me a splif... hmm ) "if at first you don't suceed, won't hurt to smoke some weed" mm loverly... Heavy beats throughout the album with some awesome bassy tracks like 'Medicine Ball' followed by an example of Em's penchant for the arabic flex, by bringing in a hypnotising arabic flute in 'Bagpipes From Bagdad'

I struggle in part with the whole likening himself to Ted Bundy and other serial rapists/killers as boredom of that route sets in for me but lyrically, I can't fault him at all, mainly because he's not been pressurised by media to stop writing about his past and addresses these criticisms throughout the album, kind of like music therapy (maybe him and Winehouse should hook up). I suppose it can come across as moaning about the same hard life but in order to be a good rapper you need to rap about the shit you actually know in order to convey a certain degree of honesty in your delivery and he had it hard, fact.

Album is deep, with tracks like 'Deja vu' and 'Beautiful' making us question whether no man really is an island. After a 4 year hiatus from music to produce an album with people baying for his blood, Em still manages to confidently take you through his drug problems, addressing his internal and family struggles making Eminem our protagonist in this riveting and crazy circus he calls Relapse, he is our "comedian trapped behind the tears of a clown"

8/10

Be still my beating heart...

Tidy.

Donny Goines- The Breakfast Club

If you didn't know already I have ridiculous amounts of love for The Breakfast Club. Stole this off http://www.byroncrawford.com/ Ledge of a blog, Ledge of a post... Ledge of a Film.

This is an album cover from a new NY Rapper called Donny Goines... This really isn't about him I have no idea whether he's chicken shit or not... It's all about the Album Cover- BIG. Furthermore any interest I have in his music will only be if he's done some sort of crazy hip hop remix to Simple Minds - 'Don't You Forget About Me' ... Might request it, I mean he's already dressed like Bender, my man quite clearly needs to honour this 80's commitment and make the song... mentioning me somewhere as his muse. Yes. That's definitely this artists next step. Why the hell aren't I managing someone!? He's actually ok with his inspirational narrative flow on this track of a kid that chooses the wrong path. Lovely sentiments but quite clearly Donny needs to fix up stop tying to cat Slick Rick, focus less on 'the brother on the run' and more on the 'Eat my shorts' Ethos...

Donny Goines - Ricky Story

Simple Minds- Don't You Forget About Me

Now I want a chicken coupon from Oprah!

Mega bucket of KFC, some Apple Tango and then all of that all over again... Fucksake social networking is taking over my life... it's bad enough I'm a member of everything, now its giving me cravings... I owe my thanks for my latest bout of sheer FAIL at life to Twitters most talked about topics section whose main focus today is KFC managing to secure Oprah to partner with them and give out free Chicken meal coupons online at www.unthinkkfc.com or

www.oprah.com.. I standardly would be getting one everyday even if I were a morbidly obese, at high risk of developing diabetes yank.

Looks like we've found yet another example of Oprah's wealth. She has so much money she's giving away chicken. I'll have a Zinger tower Burger meal, Large apple Tango no ice and instead of beans I'll have a car please Ope. Safe... still have the cawslaw though.

With absolutely no promise or hope of chicken at ten past eleven or my phone showing any signs of life- (everyone i know doesn't want to talk to me. pricks.) I've decide to find solace in music so at least my ears can munch. Tea, Toast & Cotch with these...

The Cool Kids Gone Fishing Mixtape

Chuck Inglish & Mikey Rocks Join forces with Don Cannon... (How busy is Don Cannon!?) After the success of the Greenhouse Effect Asher Roth Mixtape seems he's moving his midas touch over to 'Gone Fishing'

The Cool Kids Mixtape is a fantastic giveaway, so good in fact that it almost feels as though it should be an album (epic in length). With crazy awesome features from Bun B and Ludacris! (on the track 'Pennies remix'). It's no wonder that The Cool Kids are known for their amazing giveaways and the excellence of their quality. Needless to say excitement is fast building about their upcoming EP set to be released this summer... building up a strong following securing it with their quality, style and flair seen in the popularity of their Bake Sale EP and with this latest offering I'm sure plenty are eager for the album to drop.

Over all a good Mixtape the content isn't all too my taste but tracks that I do particularly like are 'Pennies Remix', 'Weekend Girls Feat Ryan Leslie', 'Champions' and 'Jump Rope Feat Tennile' a couple of the other tracks are growers I find but from a track list of 21, thats not bad at all. With talk of a possible video for fans favourite track "Chuckisdopeamazed by the love... Glad yall dig the tape.. Rap is Back.. what song do u wanna see videos for.... anyone have a Fav song?" fair to say after over 20,000 downloads in a couple of days this Mixtape is a success.

That tune about Gash

It's childish but I don't give a shit, this is amazing! Proving once again that 'Gash' is a fucking hilarious word. Set to a brilliant track that wouldn't be at all amiss in today's typical club scene with an added bonus of a french interpretation of 'gash' Foreign Beggars, I salute you.

...Watch out for the bloke in the red hat and red jacket not at all emasculated by the gentle caressing of the straw with his lips whilst sipping his alcohol pop... sexy.
