Listen to Radio Show: Full show with Jay-Z vs Original Samples Tribute Mix and More

It is debatable whether he is the best to ever do it, but he has definitely been consistent and outlasted many of his peers. He has come a long way from crack cocaine raps to becoming a respectable member of the establishment rubbing shoulders with dignitaries such as Prince Charles and President Obama. In my opinion a key part of his success has been a good ear for hip hop production. With so many hits and so many sweet as soul samples, Naiki’s tribute mashing up Jay-Z classics and the original samples was as killer as predicted.

Young Jeezy ft Jay-Z & Andre 3000 – I Do

Ghetto Wedding
It is International Players II. This time Jigga and Jeezy showing that every thug has a loving side. The Andre verse came out last year sometime. Good to hear they finally finished this track. How good is the Lenny Williams sample?

Photos: Summer In New York by Elize Strydom


I said to her I would just take a few, but found it hard to leave any out. You may know her as a triple j newsreader, she also takes some pretty sweet photos. These are shots from her time in New York earlier this year. See the rest of the gallery and more awesomeness on her site.

J. Cole – Mr. Nice Watch feat. Jay-Z

Hello Kitty Bling Watch
First it was ‘Watch The Thrown’ and now this. Dubstep is just so mainstream right now. Let’s see if it takes off and becomes the latest craze in hip hop. Skream could just be the next David Guetta.

Kanye West & Jay-Z Feat. Otis Redding – Otis

Jay-Z and Kanye West Lolling Outta Control
I love the line… “I made Jesus Walks I’m never going to hell”. Ah… sorry Kanye. I’m not a religious man, but I am pretty sure it doesn’t work like that. Make a song about Jesus and then you get a green light from the authorities in heaven to engage in whatever debauchery tickles your fancy.

Poughkeepsie’s Finest

Paul Nice is without a doubt one of my favourite Dj/producer’s period. He is heavily slept on over here and his Mixtapes are all time. I will post some of his other tapes over the next few weeks but for now here is  ” Breaks For Days” a killer tape full of deep breaks and uncut funk. Also thrown in are a few cheeky Paul Nice bootlegs as a side serve.

Santigold – Go ft Karen O (prod. Q-Tip & Switch)

Santigold Go
Fuck yeah! I want more music from Santigold and I want it to be as good as her old music. Please lord, is this too much to ask? Santi dropped this one today on Jay-Z’s Life and Times. It is co-produced by Q-Tip, Switch and Santigold with some vocals from Karen O. So what do you think? Does the future look promising?

Rant: So Appalled – Kanye West Helps Me Bitch


Larry David is one bad-ass mofo (yep, that’s Vivica Fox hollering in the back) and makes a living telling funny jokes. But what’s not funny is the subject in question: product packaging.

Do you know what’s so appalling? Vacuum packaging or packaging altogether for that matter. Fuck this waste-conscious period where everything is sealed with minimal yet airtight packaging (and fuck the factory robots that are programmed to do so). I’m tired of being thwarted by packaged items that lack a tab, slit or pull-back flap to make opening as seamless as possible. I recently bought a pair of headphones and after an unnecessary period of time I finally broke into the packaging where my finger was promptly sliced open by a sharp edge of plastic. That shit is fucking ridiculous.

MP3: Kanye West – So Appalled ft. RZA, Jay-Z, Pusha T, Swizz Beatz & Cyhi the Prynce

What do you think is so appalling?
