Friday Night Hype

HipHop

Yup, after all that pontificating we're getting straight up ignorant.
Lazy Grey from QLD is one of Australia's best MC's, this is an old track, i think of the 'Black Stump' album, which i don't have (leave a comment). Summing up one of the best part of Fridays, and again flippin beats way before the septic's catch on.

Even ignoranter (yes it's a word) is this great track from Billy Bunks, a Melburn MC. this song is really very funny and needless to say not fucken safe for work. I just discovered this today, but knew he had an album comming this year, 'cos he told me. Then i ducked.

Seriously though, check both of these clips out, great songs and truly adapting the artform to our local culture, well at least that part that reflects the passions and concerns of drunken foul-mouthed young men. Word.

Oh yeah it's Friday! We are about to get our swagger on with an awesome performance as Big L shows why he was one of the greatest rappers, funny and filthy. There is no accompanying video, all the the better to check the rhymes and the beat by Lord Finnesse. There is an MP3 of the first verse on the the web somewhere, if I find the link i'll post it later.

If you listend to Big L first you'reprobably now a bit cocky, it's friday arvo and you might be ready for a drink, possibly a smoke. You might even feel a little bit guilty about the lethality of that last urge, well it has it's uses. I read somewhere the singer on this one, guitarist Steve Diggle, was forced to smoke heavily to get the right raspy tone for this song. It worked, the blend of urgency and melody makes me wanna reach for a pint and a silk cut. See you at the pub. Word.
