These Thoughts

Title inspired by this Natasha Beddingfield 'These Words' which doubles up as this today Real Badman Never Afraid



UK's leading r&b Caramel Long Ride

Hold tight comedy double act KG and Marston going in yet again.



Willow Smith > your gran's sunday roast

Jacked from PinBoard. Yeah I went there. And mi nah tek back no talk no time. I saw this chick on BBC's The One Show back on the promo trail for Karate Kid. The whole family were on there but she commanded the show. Heard the song and thought "Damn, she went in with this ridiculous banger. Wonder what she sounds like live..." Well here is the live performance.



Gobsmacked!

Tinchy + gang proclaim "Game Over"

So all the talk has been who has the best verse. I don't think anyone did a bad job really. Wouldn't say anyone did an extremely good verse either hence why I think there are so many different opinions on who has the best verse. Make of that what you will. For me, I'm gonna say Tinie Tempah. His delivery his clear, concise and even the "Ishi distort the bass" makes his verse stand out to me. One word reviews: Example = surprised, Giggs = repped, Pro Green = strong, Chipmunk = unusual, Devlin = venomous, Tinchy = improvement



Look out for the next version of this with a few more underground artists. Tinchy you deserve a spud for it.

Sway says "Nah bruv, fk that, Game Over for you man. Try not include me"

Friend of Marvin Sparks dot blog spot dot com (scroll down to the comments in this post), UK rapper Sway felt left out "So I'm gonna do the opposite. Wait what's the opposite of left out? I'mma just go right in, no writing..."!!! Let's pause the track right there. Instant reload on the drop? He goes all the way in. For the record, this is not breddin, I've never ever said Sway can't rap. Hasn't made a good album, probably, but never can't rap.





Thrwoback Tune of the Day: Ruff Ryders 'Down Bottom'

Futhamucka! This tune is on a next level! Drag-On has to be the most underrated rapper on the Ruff Ryders roster. His flow and bars were insane on this! Swizz Beats was the man these times. I think he deserves a FlashBack Friday post. I used to write the Ruff Ryders logo on all my school books at school. This is when hip hop was really rebellious. They taught me how to pronounce motherfornicator properly. Before them I'd say muvvaf'ka. Who says music doesn't teach the kids?

Didn't even know they had a video for this. Imagine that. This hard hip hop song had a video. Wouldn't happen today. Too many politically correct rappers making music for women. No harm in making music for women but not when it's your main focus. And it's hip hop. Traditionally testerone filled hip hop.

Marvin Sparks x Raekwon interview

Wu-Tang's in-house "Chef" better known as Raekwon proved he is still a force to be mentioned alongside the hottest rappers in the hip hop game with the release of Only Built For Cuban Linx... pt. II - sequel to his 1995 debut album. Marvin Sparks caught up with the hip hop legend to discuss rapping for drug dealers, people caring "more about stats than raps", his inclusion in MTV's Top 10 Hottest Rappers list, and converting to Islam. Marvin Sparks: It has been almost fifteen years since the first Only Built For Cuban Linx, an album that was a 5-mic classic when The Source magazine held weight. Why did you decide make a sequel?

Why Cheetah Woods, whhyyyy?!?!?!

We must all know about the predator nyamin woman (no bowcat reference intended - or am I lying? *shudders*). Anyone heard the voicemail he left for the girl he's been PARrin (there was a golf reference there) his wife with? Easy now my selekta as we rinse some tunes for di one name Tiger. Man like him doesn't know how to play. (By The Endz not Ruff Sqwad) How you gonna leave a voicemail for a girl with your real name at the beginning? Do you want to be held to ransom? Man from 'the ends' know (in the words of Kano) "That's slippin'!" And when isht hits the fan (like it has) he's buggered. Not something I deal in but surely the point of cheating is for an assortment of ladies. All his ones look the same; blonde, no breast nor batty.

Remember When Riddims Were King

Before you read, thank you for your interest and hope you enjoy. I actually fleshed it out into a book. You can get your copy from www.nolongstories.com   Now for what you came here for... When Riddims Were King 23rd May 2020 will be remembered in history for one of the most epic events in one of our universe's darkest times. We will never forget the night dancehall kings and former extremely heated rivals, Beenie Man and Bounty Killer, battled on the Verzuz platform built by hall-of-fame producers, Timbaland and Swizz Beatz. An unfiltered, 360-degree view on Jamaican dancehall events was showcased; DJ’s and dancing (Beenie Man’s daughter Desha Ravers) to deejay’s clashing on the same riddims. The latter elements provided the jewels in the night’s highlight reel, and undoubtedly the best thing to happen on the Verzuz series. Word spread like guava jelly within the dancehall community and Jamaican diaspora upon announcement. Not only was it a clash between the longest and fier
