SnowGoons ft. Reef, Viro & Lord Lhus - King Kong / The Limit / Goon Platoon
Some German goodness that dropped in my Youtube inbox and I only just got round to checking.
This ish is freaking ill, and just in time to get me extra hype for Splash Festival I will be attending this weekend... In VIP style. The line up is insane - so it should be a sick festival.
Yes...

Paul the Octopus was right...
Spain are world champions...
But did Paul foresee Holland kicking 7 shades of shit out of Spain? Probably not...

The Endz - Are You Really From The Endz
Those of you who remember this know - this was a big tune. Got some serious rotation with the boys in the day.
Been looking for this video for years as it had seemingly disappeared after its release until Bunzi D [one of the MC's I think] finally uploaded it to youtube. Winner!
Are you really from the endz...
Rick Ross ft Curren$y & Wiz Khalifa - Super High (remix)
Yup it's Spitta again. He's putting in mad work [for a pothead especially]!
Rick Ross [inevitably] comes with the weakest rhymes and essentially gets slumped on his own track by the young bloods.
Wiz holds it down as always - even with a bit of singing.
This shit is getting me hype for trip to Amsterdam next week. Yeah bwoy!!!
420...

Phil Ade - The Letterman (Mixed by Don Cannon) - Listen and Download
I posted a few of his vids. His last mixtape didn't fully convince me but from what I've heard from this one, it's sounding rather dope!
Check it out.

Big. So many classics.
Can't wait to see the Boot Camp Click at the end of the month!

Continuing with the old school - here's the seminal Beat Street movie in its entirety.
It's crazy to see how some of the fashion has come full circle and wouldn't look out of place in a "hip" club today.
Fricky-fricky-fresh...

Graffiti Rock
Graffiti Rock from DJ Icewater on Vimeo.
If you havent seen Graffiti Rock you need to check it,
The episode features Run D.M.C., Shannon, The New York City Breakers, DJ Jimmie Jazz and Kool Moe Dee and Special K of the Treacherous Three.

Plan B - Prayin'
Plan B seems to have dropped his rapper with a guitar stance and ventured into the world of what I would call classic soul.
Frankly, I think it's been a very successful transition. Yes it's less street and more radio friendly but who cares. It's good, moving music that doesn't just rely on the usual degradation of females, cars and whatnot.
To add to that there seems to be some serious budget behind him now he's gotten more soulful with again isn't a bad thing as proved by this rather epic video to accompany his latest single.
Here's the track that got his initial buzz going a few years ago...
Fuck the screws...
Jammer [Boy Better Know] - 10 Man Roll
Okay, so there's not much grime that gets C-Stylez boppin'. Well... depends on the mood.
Anyway, I thought I'd post this vid simply because it's original, well executed and nice to see Grime MC's not taking themselves to seriously for a change.
Boy Better Knooooow!!!

Wasteman part 9: Fagidas Designer
Who is this Jeremy Scott guy and who the fuck at Adidas decided it was a good idea to let him fuck with their classic designs?!He apparently studied at the very aptly named Pratt institute presumably in "How To Make Shit Look Gay 101".
Needless to say he passed with flying colours and now designs "cute" Adidas hoodies that make you look like a leopard and kicks that make your feet look like Asterix's head.
Waste... man...
Flashback Friday: Haze Presents: New York Reality Check 101
A sublime DJ Premier mix [even if slightly "over-mixed" at times] that captures independent (east-coast) Hip Hop at it's height in '97.Some big names (as far as underground Hip Hop goes) and classic joints alongside some relatively unknown [forgotten] rhyme spitters.
All in all well worth a listen and if that wasn't enough you can even download it.
