Smiley Faces

Two jokey rap videos to start off the day.

First up is Dizzee Rascal calming down the crowd at the Rockness festival this past weekend. R Kelly being put to good use.

Second is the It’s the Real sketch with Slaughterhouse (aka the best rap supergroup of the past 10 years.) You might not recognise some of the rappers but you will find it hilarious.

Talk about striking whilst the iron is hot. Video for Bonkers. Future number one. Remember what I said about Calvin Harris?

I have been listening to A bunch of new example stuff this weekend in prep for a mix that DMCA will take down (4 cease and desist this year). It makes sense for Example to jump on these tracks, his flow and style of rapping fits perfectly with the 16 + Chorus format that bassline and dubstep will allow.

Then I heard this new Dizzee track, he reinvents the wheel. Yes it is a shame that he isn’t spitting on the stuff that we as fans have become used to but that doesn’t sell. This on the other hand will. It’s better than any skank and better than Bloody Beetroots (2009 piss poor version of Vitalic) so ultimately it will sell.

For the purists we still have the other albums but im pretty sure that I will be rocking this early this summer at some sweatbox club out east. Trying to catch the eye of a beautiful young thing, that’s all you ask for in a party song.

Hey You

Calvin Harris. Came out with some catchy singles and a decent album. Then made Dizee Rascal's biggest hit. Sold one of his songs to DFS. So in order to make sure that people didn't forget about him he made this track. It will be this year's Pjanoo. It will be played on every dancefloor from here to mozambique. I mentioned it a while back and said i wasn't going to write about it until a proper version was available.
