Akhil Vs Mark - Beat Battle (part 3)

Hey folks,

Just a head's up that Ak and I have been beat battling and we'll have our new tracks finished in a month's time.

This time we've both chosen one song to sample and use as the melody (drum and bass can come from anywhere). Then we swap records, make another tune (hence the next month), and then post them here - you get to decide which tunes are best.

In the mean time, I've shared the link to the tune I sampled.... I know it's not the 'done' thing but I don't give a monkey's and I don't mind leaking this as far as the blog. However, if it goes platinum, this post will be deleted and this didn't happen!

Rappertag 11 - Fallacy



This is to some grime temp beat which I'm not sure of, but I think Fallacy smashes it. Particularly good  given the generally low level of quality of this series so far. Enjoy!

My Entry

No idea who these guys are but they are extremely lazy. I think this is like Hyper crunk or something. I like the fact the song is called I Don't Like so I disliked them on youtube because of this and it's the first vid I've ever disliked. I think Jody would get into their crew though, he'd be the one wearing no pants instead of no shirt. Once they see his massive scar he'd fit right in. I also like the guy with the hand gun with extended mag. I've never been into guns but this is probably the hangun I'd have as I'd need an extended mag as I'm sure I'd miss plenty of times. Also over a million hits, seriously there must be some crunked out muthafuckas out there I don't like. Peace

New El-p ft. Killer Mike. I like the beat.

Worst Rap song: Lil B - "Wonton Soup"



Here is my entry to the competition, JR.

I thought this was a joke track (a la Reh Dogg, not intentional and awesome like Yung Humma) but I see online that people actually rate this guy. He did a 45 minute unscripted talk at a prestigious University (I forget which one).

I can only surmise from the lyrics to the track that Lil B has never had sex before.. seriously on some inadvertant 40 yr old virgin bags of sand shit, here. The best lyric, though, is "bitches wanna fuck me cos I look like JK Rowling". This is astounding when you think through the logic in his idiocy. Firstly, he doesn't know JK Rowling is a chick. Then secondly, he has assumed that JK Rowling must be a grown man that looks like the Harry Potter character he created (Lil B wears black Hary Potter glasses). Thirdly, saying he looks like (his ficticious invented) JK Rowling because of said glasses is as absurd as Ghost saying he raps with a British accent.

That said, I have listenend to this song so many times now (it's a bit of a cheat as I didn't find it this week, but I thought it ties in nicely with your challenge).

Luiz Bonfá - Jacarandá



Even though the internet can probably tell me all this stuff already if I cared to search, and undoubtedly thousands of people have got there before me, I still really get a kick out of it whenever I buy some new records and a loop crops up that's been sampled on a track I've listened to a million times unexpectedly.

Slam Dunk N' Hoes

That awesome J-zone article got me diggin on the net, found this piece of perfection;




Yes Slam Dunk N' Hoes. What does that mean? Slam Dunk and Hoes I think, but that's not what the cover really conveys. This is tremedous on so many levels, the lack of effort in Top Dogs facials, the height of the hoop and how blatant it is that she's not upsidedown.  Her facial expression does it the most for me, that hjoe loves a dunkin'.
here's a tune from it, predictably woeful.



It's from this article which has some other great album covers on it.

How about this as a challenge for the week, who can find the worst hip hop song? noshitty freestyles cause you'll never beat Eli Porter . Man that class of 2005 was hot

Marly Marl The symphony



This is the shit.




Umm, the bottom one is better, the top one is half speed or something, bloggers playing up and I can't delete it

I didn't mind thay Hopsin. It was funny in parts but yes could see it could get stupid with dumbass hooks. I've been listening to A$AP Rocky for a while now, his CD is ok. Like Peso though which I'm sure you've heard. Great tune. My friend told me about this Childish Gambino it's got loads of hits, sounds ok!



Lee Fields can't remember if I posted this already. May have been a while back

Update!

So, I downloaded the Hopsin album.

He's pretty good. He kinda reminds me of early Eminem which is a bit of an odd comparison because I've never liked Eminem.

Anyway, despite being a decent rapper, he has an uncanny ability of writing truly dreadful hooks and choruses that go on too long and appear too many times in each song, rendering the album quite shit.

Real shame, because some of his verses are great. More chorus-less straight 4 minutes of rapping tracks like that one I posted below are needed, Hop!

Hopsin - Ill Mind Of Hopsin 4



Nice one Mark.. good to check out some new shit.. that was a cool track.

In that vein, I have been hearing a lot about Hopsin and ASAP Rocky recently, so I thought I'd check them out.

This Hopsin track is really good, I'd really like to hear more of his shit.

Also, here's Schoolboy Q ft. ASAP Rocky; nice track, but I'm not blown away by either of them as rappers.

Yppah - R. Mullen



Heard of these guys before? I think this will be right up your street James.. Jew would probably like these guys too.
