A fine slice of late eighties/early nineties hip hop from the hideously underrated MC Lyte. Apparently, Lyte wants a ruffneck, a street way of saying she wants a complete bastard. I wish Lyte called the track 'Bastard', just so I could hear her say the word bastard over and over in that fine accent of hers.
MAJOR LAZER - KEEP IT GOIN' LOUDER
If this song doesn't fill you with joy and goodwill you are an empty shell of a human being with no soul and a piece of brick where a heart should be. I've been playing this song pretty much on repeat for about 6 months and i still find myself enjoying it more and more with every listen. The video is fucking horrifying though.
TEMPA T - NEXT HYPE
TEEEEEEEMMMMMMPPPPPPPZZZZZZZZZZ! A track featuring the kind of lyrics the Daily Mail would describe as SICK FILTH and demand to be BANNED if they ever became aware of its existence, Tempz's tales of petty murder and car jacking are almost uncomfortably frank, but who cares when it sounds this good? What pulls me in is Tempz's sheer energy and enthusiasm, as well as the fact that it is refreshing to hear that not every grime artist has to sacrifice their originality and end up sounding like another American ringtone-rap clone [Tinchy? Chipmunk?] to succeed. A quite funny video as well, shame about Tim Westwood though. Not just in this video, I mean shame about Tim Westwood in general.
DATSIK & DOWNLINK - AGAINST THE MACHINES
For those who, like me, like their dubstep to drop and wobble and whomp-whomp and wobble some more. The bass on this is so bloody massive Helen Keller herself would have found it a challenge not to throw some moves.
QUESTION.... How does one dance to dubstep?...
SLIPKNOT - SURFACING
The double pedal towards the end of the song is reason enough for this song to be classed as FUCKING FANTASTIC. I don't even give a shit about how uncool Slipknot are, songs like Surfacing and Eyeless and People = Shit and Wait & Bleed are the dogs bollocks, make no mistake.
