New video from Black Milk taken from AOTY. Thought it was my internet connection that made the video stutter like that. Nice track though. Not too sure it’ll stick in my mind too long though. Come on Milk, we want bangers. Make another track like Losing Out pleaaaase.

September 29, 2010Random Spot Check #8: Truth (@ReggieRhythm)
September 28, 2010
The Spot Check. We get artists from around the world to open up the masses of music stored away on their hard drives, have five tracks selected at random, and then attempt to explain away any embarrassing tracks that might have found their way into the selection. Pass or fail? Well, thats your call.
Today’s guest on the spot check represents Ipswich, EA. You might have seen Truth battling in Don’t Flop, or hitting up open mics around the country. A talented purveyor of fine rhymes, as well as multiple winner of the 273′s Fantasy Football Manager of the Week award, T is currently rocking shows with his band Millionaires By Morning. Keep and eye out for them in a town near you real soon. Anyway, enough of that mess. Whats his music collection like? I’m determined to find a couple of stinkers on someone’s hard drive soon…

1./ Jay-Z – No Hook
Excuse me, how typical it is to start on a Jay-Z track? So Hip Hop of me. I skipped 13 times to get a start, ‘cus thats my lucky number and this games up. Jay-Z’s still one of the best story tellers in Hip hop, although that’s not his greatest strength. I’d say him and Pharoahe are joint top in flows/musicality. This American Gangster album is incredible, its in the top three Jay-Z albums. If you take away the alignment to the movie, this is the album i’d have loved Hova to come back with.
2./ Sean Price – Hearing Aid ft/ Chaundon
P! Sean Price is faultless, this song’s dope, but I Love You (Bitch) is my favourite. Heineken for breakfast ass bitch. Mine and Sean’s lifes are so similar in so many ways.
3./ De La Soul – Ego Trippin’ (Part Two) (Original Version)
De La Soul are the best Hip Hop group. Them or Tribe. It’s phenomenal how they are still going and have got better with every album. With all respect to Dave and Maseo, i’d love to hear a Posdnous solo album. He doesn’t get the props as a full out MC that he should just ‘cus he aint superlyircalmiraclespirituallikefire with it but he sums up things perfectly. There’s no formula to that. This is just classic De La. I can imagine them just jamming catching jokes in this era, the music sounds innocent.
4./ Salsoul Orchestra – Tangerine
Honestly, B.I.G’s Fuck Me Interlude came on after De La, but I’m not about to start my journalism career by writing about a fat man fucking. I got places to be. Any way…… if i had a colourful silk shirt, a quiff in my hair, a jive walk with attitude, a hairy chest, top 4 buttons undone and a golden pendant, this would be shortlisted to be on the soundtrack for the movie about my life, for the romance scene montage where everythings slightly blurry around the sides and i’m in a park holding hands and spinning around with my new humble-upbringing-moral-bearing squeeze who shouldn’t be messing with a city slicker like me.. It’d be shortlisted, i’m not saying it’d make the cut. Jazz Flute a plenty tho, props.
5./ Incredible Bongo band – (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction
Love the incredible bongo band, but they maybe should have let this one slide. When its goes on to the drum break part you could definately have a west side story meets wild west shoot out / dance off show down. In a non gay way.
So what do you think people? Did Truth pass with flying colours, or was it a cop out that we didn’t get the honour of a paragraph about Biggie Smalls’ carnal activities? Voting starts now:
In The Crates:
• Random Spot Check #7: Pimpernel Jones of Herma Puma
• Random Spot Check #6 (International Edition): J57 of Brown Bag Allstars

Doc Ish (@DocIsh) – Is It A Dream ft/ Joe Budden, Talib Kweli & Sean P
September 28, 2010
New track from producer Doc Ish, featuring some solid verses from Budden, Kweli and P. I’m liking this track, well all except for the singing in the hook which sounds a little out of place to be honest. Still, the verses more than make up for that. Apparently there’s gonna be a video for this dropping soon, so I’ll keep you all updated on that.

Maffew Ragazino (@RagazinoSr) ft/ Masta Ace – Where I’m From [VIDEO]
September 28, 2010Yo, for some reason I didn’t feel like posting the Maino and Joell Ortiz video for Ask Me About Brooklyn, primarily because being a UK head I wasn’t too down with some of the references they threw out, but I caught this video on Daily Mathematics and despite it also being about an area I’ve never hit up, thought the track was dope. This dude Maf definitely gets Unknown Element status as I know nothing about him, but the track is a banger, and there’s some dope cameos in the video, from Rock of Heltah Skeltah to Michael Rapaport.
Another young’un from the states I’d check for in the future for sure. And on that note, I’m off to catch some Z’s. One.

Rah Digga (@TheRealRahDigga) – This Ain’t No Lil’ Kid Rap [VIDEO]
September 28, 2010While I’m steady jacking a few videos from around the interwebs, here’s one I spotted at Ringometry just now. She’s just dropped her new entirely Nottz produced LP, and here’s what I think is the first video from that project. Rah Digga is a dope emcee. Not just a dope female emcee, but a dope emcee full stop. If more gals wanting to make sick tracks mastered the art of coming with a serious flow rather than the art of getting their titties out, the world would be a better place.

Mala Reignz (@MalaReignz) – Dum Da Dum [VIDEO]
September 28, 2010Another emcee who I haven’t heard anything by before. A definite unknown element. I’m liking this track though for sure. Found this on AC’s Rare Unlimited site…
• Koaste
Reks (@TheRealReks) – This Or That (Produced by @StatikSelekt) [VIDEO]
September 28, 2010This is more like it. The world needs more emcees like Reks. Some sick flows from the “Black Aristotle with bottles of beer in his backpack”…

273 Fantasy Football: Week 6
September 27, 2010
It was a bad week for those teams heavily reliant on the stars from the big three of English football as Chelsea and Arsenal lost, and Man Utd only managed a draw against Bolton Wanderers. Because of that, the weekly top three come from the lower half of the table.
Highest scorer this week was the homie Truth with 63pts (Carlos Tevez, 18pts*), who picks up his second manager of the week award this season, the first person to do so, and that lifts him into the giddy heights of 13th position. Second highest scorer was Longusto with 56pts (Darren Bent, 13pts). Could his return to these shores after 2 years away in Australia coincide with a charge up the table? Third highest scorer was Rizzle with 51pts (Nani, 12pts).
The top four in the table stay the same, but the weeks results have seen some changes in the rest of the table.

Manager of the Week: Truth
I’ve got no new music from Truth to drop as the prize for his victory this week (unless he gets at me before the end of the day), but I will be throwing up his Random Spot Check a little later today…
Highest Scoring Week:
Koaste 96pts (Week 1)
Manager of the Week Awards:
Truth – Gats McGhee (2)
Koaste – Illwood Kings (1)
Ewan Rarekind – Lets Get It In (1)
Herbie Dragons – Bucka Juniors (1)
Rizzle – Got Tings In Socks (1)
Cuthdaddy – Wolton Blunderers (1)

The build up to the release of Celph and Buckwild’s Nineteen Ninety Now LP continues with this little treat. Buck’s Four Course Meal sees Celph Titled jump on four of Buckwild’s previous bangers… Namely, Artifacts’ C’Mon Wit Da Git Down (Remix), Bushwackas’ Caught Up in the Game, Little Indian’s One Little Indian (Remix) and Big L’s Put It On. Michelin starred servings. Can’t wait to hear the LP.
