Never heard of Apkass before I was totally enchanted with his opus. This will resonate with any true African, I can tell you that much. The discourse is socio-political for the most part (no preaching though), the delivery is between rap and poetry reading. The rhythms immediately transport you to Equitorial Africa.

He had a smoking hot wife.- DJ AM used to go out with Nicole Richie.- They both were on a private plane that crashed recently and sustained serious burn injuries but are recovering.Travis Barker had already bolstered his hip-hop credentials by working and budding with the likes of Paul Wall, http://dj5fold.blogspot.com/2008/09/what-im-bumpin-today-hot-shit-007.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (dj5fold)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22781253.post-4782027154424302818Fri, 26 Sep 2008 08:15:00 +00002008-09-26T04:17:49.826-04:00http://dj5fold.blogspot.com/2008/09/grilled-by-katie-couric-such-l.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (dj5fold)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22781253.post-1107506521970007723Sun, 14 Sep 2008 23:25:00 +00002008-09-14T19:34:15.514-04:00Hot ShitThe Massacre50 CentShit actually sounds better with time. It's still feels too loaded, but you can't deny the gems. The beats are prime grade! All the little subtleties in there is a joy. If you can (especially if 50 irritates you), get the instrumental version. You don't know what you're missing. You need a lengthier dissection: I'm still sticking to my site's review.

I'm more familiar with whoever was hot at the turn of the century than the new players you have today. Ol' Kainry is actually an old player by today's standard. This, Les chemins de la dignité, is his second album that came out four years ago. (His latest album, Demolition Man, came out last year.)As far as I'm concerned, Ol' Kainry is http://dj5fold.blogspot.com/2008/09/what-im-bumpin-today-hot-shit-005.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (dj5fold)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22781253.post-752684427455113834Mon, 25 Aug 2008 00:33:00 +00002008-08-24T20:49:12.034-04:00Beijing 2008NBAOlympicshttp://dj5fold.blogspot.com/2008/08/1-usa-2-espaa-3-argentina.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (dj5fold)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22781253.post-5943108571928418029Sun, 24 Aug 2008 23:32:00 +00002008-08-24T20:33:35.779-04:00SlaïHot ShitCaraïbesI'm not an authority on Zouk, but I know this much: Slaï has delivered several classics throughout his career and one can understand how the adoring/pandering lyrics and good looks would swoon the ladies.With this new album, the trend doesn't stop.

The album has instant winners like "Street Credibility" (with 2Face), "Photocopy", and "Kinda Life". Part of his appeal is the wise (yet frequent) usage of yoruba proverbs within the lyrics. The beats are simple yet spell-binding.

He said it again to the Boston Herald. So what? While I love The Truth. I think Kobe is simply better. But is it not any (great) player's stance that he's/she's the best at what they do? If not, it definitely should be!!! I predict this tidbit will swell up unecessarily.

Set in 1994 Giuliani-era New York, its nostalgia for adolescence is made moving by Levine’s unabashed appropriation of hip-hop.
