Okay, so this is technically an advert for some American version of Haribo, but you have to admit, its actually pretty good. Far better than any Dr Dre Pepsi advert. Peep the science about the little candy men.

I popped into Rarekind Records yesterday after a heavy weekend of over exuberance, and the homie HP pointed out to me the above flyer for some night coming up at the Concorde featuring some group called Bugs in the Attic. I haven’t got a clue who this lot are, aside from vaguely knowing the name, but it wasn’t them or the other artists on the flyer that caught my attention.
No, it was the fact that apparently, we here at The273.com are presenting the night. I’d like to state for the record, that we have absolutely NO CONNECTION with this night at all. I have no idea what the person responsible would have to gain by using our name – although, we are one of the hottest blogs out there at the moment – but like I said – this night is NOTHING to do with us. So if any of you readers were planning on checking it out on the strength of the site being mentioned as presenting the night, you might wanna stay away.
Just thought you should know, right. I’m gonna try and get to the bottom of this.

Poor old Bangs. Not only, according to this song, does he never ever have a good time, but he also appears to have a pocket full of American dollar notes whilst living in Australia. Which probably won’t get him very far.

Okay. Fair enough, you’re a mad UK Hip Hop fan, and you’re a little bit excited to see Jehst delievering your post in the morning. Hey, us rappers have to earn some side money too ya know. But pointing a camera out of your window and filming him without his knowledge makes you look like, how can I put this, A BIT OF A FUCKING FREAK. Its probably not too difficult, should one know this route, to work out which flat you live in. Just saying.

Tyni spotted this – I have to admit I’d not heard it before, but you can’t go wrong with Onyx on a Christmas tune… Festive tidings from us here at The 273. Have a good one.

Can’t stop laughing at this poor fool. No wonder people get black eyes when their car airbag goes off. It must be like getting punched by David Haye.

I had a quick search online to see who this Page Kennedy was. Obviously I’d heard of ElZhi before, but not this other dude. Wow. Just by doing that, I’ve discovered the existence of the film Leprechaun: Back 2 Da Hood. Back when I shared a house with Enlish, I remember watching Leprechaun 5: Lep In Da Hood and that film was so bad, I had no inkling they’d even think about reprising it. I think I’m gonna have to track down a copy of this film just to see if things can get any worse.
Anyway, all of that is beside the point. Except Page Kennedy is an actor/rapper who stars in this film. On this track, him and ElZhi drop some rules on us as to how we should be making tracks. Most of which I’d hope was common sense. Its definitely no Styles by Hieroglyphics’ Casual thats for sure. I’m sure I’ve heard this beat on something else as well. Anyone know where its been used before?

Whoa. This video is nuts. I only checked it on the off chance, but I’m glad I did. This is for you 273 Petrol Heads. I don’t drive (well, I’ve got my licence), but obviously if I did, I’d be pretty similar to this dude. Erm… yeah.

Today has really got it in for me. I’d only just got over this afternoon’s realisation that I’d be without Sky Sports News for today’s transfer deadline, and then I had the severe misfortune to listen to this abomination from pre-pubescent-whiny-voiced-obviously-gonna-be-into-crack-before-he’s-twentyfive Justin Bieber. Now, Bieber would never normally in a million years get a mention here on the 273, only on this track, he’s managed to rope in Raekwon and Kanye West. Now Kanye… Kanye I could have seen doing this beforehand, but The Chef? Get the fuck out of here. But its true.
And these were just the thoughts that were flying through my head as I clicked through the links. I hadn’t actually heard the song yet. And that, my friends, is where things got really bad. For its not just ‘Ye and Rae on any track with Scrawny-armed-midget-stream-of-dayglo-piss Bieber. Its them on a track sampling Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthin’ To Fuck Wit’. And that says it all. You probably don’t even need to listen to this to gain a whole new level of hate. I’m going to put the song below anyway. If you were here with me in person, I’d probably make you sign a disclaimer before I’d let you listen. But for now, its on your head.

If you can think of a Hip-Hop track that is worse than this one. And I use the term Hip-Hop very loosely in this case, then drop a comment on it.

A little random, but here’s a mash up which sees Eazy “Motherf**king” E jump out of his grave, and on to a track with Johnny Cash who er.. also jumped out of his grave. Obviously. Anyway, just a little something for your wednesday afternoon.
