All three are a tad 'whack' for my liking.

I was shocked to see that Tone Loc's voice is actually that gravelly in Ace Ventura.
 
Just watched Something From Nothing! The Art of Rap directed by Ice T. Great viewing.

New Lupe is great (food and liquor 2) . Return to form after lasers .

New waka(salute me or shoot me 4) is pretty decent as well if you're into non "real" hip hop
 
So I downloaded a very interesting docufilm by Ice T (of whom I'm no fan by the way!).

It's basically an excuse to relive the 'good ol days', but I will say it is exquisitely shot, in some cases, and you can kind of put Ice T of of your mind whilst watching the film.

Check it out.

Genius imo.

'Genius' is never A song. 'Genius' does it over time.

In the past I've wondered what Brit is gonna make me listen? 'Who's gonna take the weight?' as it were...

Well, whilst hoping this fooker's tune ain't a one off.

For now, I think he's got my ear...

Hmm...

It's funny as when I heard this kid, I thought he had a real shot at pulling away from the turgid sense of 'awesomeness' in the British Hip Hop scene, but he's in love with it, it seems.

Sometimes raw production can kick start a style that makes you stand out from a scene and whilst EF has an abundance of words at his disposal the delivery he flows with leaves much to be desired. This piece is simply overproduced. You almost sense the back slapping that has gone on in the studio at the 'finished' article!!

Second song you've given me Josh (& much appreciated), but the third I have heard altogether and his style doesn't alter. That's more to the shame for him because by the time he gambles on altering his style, he'll have missed the boat. Not only that, he's repeating himself.

Let's hope he thinks on this whole situation real quick.
