I've been a fan of Timbaland since I first heard "Luv 2 Luv U" back in the 90's.

I like a lot of the work he did for Aaliyah RIP especially.

Here's an interesting slide show about some dispute over one of Timbaland's songs. I don't know what to think, I know sampling is an accepted part of hip ...

And, for a controversial Hip-Hop choice, I'd like to nominate Pete Rock & C L Smooth - They Reminisce Over You. A Golden Era classic if ever there were one.

The beginning Uillean Bagpipe rendition of "Doinna" by John McSherry...sends chills down my spine every time I hear it, and makes me want to bust out and cry! :cry: :D

Gip... YOU'RE NOT IRISH! :)

For the month of March I am, goddamnit!

But admit it ...

The world HAS ended... Brooksieb didn't start this thread!

Just caught this on Digg. Very good. I wonder how they printed it with the exact right lines though...

Thanks everyone for dealing with the troll. Drama over, now back to business.

I find myself enjoying "Ayo Technology" even though it features Mr. Cent. The attractiveness of this track certainly rests on the newest dynamic duo of hip-hop, Timbaland and Timberlake.

The beat is "off the heezy", in ...

I predict that Koala Bears will first take over Australia, then Oceania, then the rest of the world. First by luring unsuspecting people in with their cuteness, then brutally raping them with Eucalyptus branches.

Well duh, I thought that was fairly obvious... And they're gonna make Tokyo their HQ ...

Good match in the end. Saw a lot more out of Italy that I expected. Managed to keep the points close enough to pretty much prevent a Welsh loss overall next weekend.

So roll on Super Saturday (as they were enthusiastically calling it on the BBC). Up The Welsh!

Anyway, getting the thread back onto a hip-hop tip again...

One of the albums I've had on rotation recently, and one of the best I've heard in a while, is Sky City by Son of Ran. He gave it away free, so here's the (perfectly legal) download link:

Nappy! Stop trying to hijack this thread! We can discuss the benefits of government action in limited capitalist states elsewhere!

But iz like, well into da hip-hop man! Does you not fink dat you iz being racialist cos i iz a honky? Me n my home-boys can still rap in da hood representin North ...

So, what the poll and this discussion should really be about, is wether or not waterboarding is considered torture, or if it is a valid interrogation method. And we need to do this with every method we are going to use.

Does it make a difference that the US have prosecuted people for using ...

If he's pissed off so many people to such a degree then he must have been doing something right.

Carry on, I say.

Also, I'm highly impressed by Dusty Foot Philosopher. You should see me do a the little wiggles I call dancing to this song...

Good stuff. It's a great album. 'Rap gets jealous' really is a joyous thing. Best when driving too fast down the M1.

Throwing back a few pages... really the whole album ...

Yeah, and I really, really, really hope that this isn't the start of Wicked jumping in whenever folks on here start jawing about religious beliefs. Many of our discussions become quite spirited, and most of us are capable of recognizing that differences of opinion are just that. Though Nappy ...

Oh no, obviously. But I was referring to the American posters who were confused.

great song.

and to the OP... you do know who WROTE THAT SONG, right?

I was just gonna tell him myself...

Nine Inch Nails/Trent Reznor of course

But Cash's version is a hundred times better...

And 'Where is my mind' by the Pixies.

Good call on Hurt.

One song which really really gets me is Fuori Dal Mondo by a composer called Ludovico Einaudi. Originally composed for an Italian film and most recently used in Shane Meadow's 'This Is England'.

also c'mon France, f*ck the Welsh. France play a hell of a lot better game of rugby. :twisted:

That may be true................................but they're French

Yeh... The bloody French!

Come on... At least allow the Welsh this bit of glory. They've not exactly been playing the most boring ...

Well done.

I'm not overly into martial arts movies, but I've got Shogun Assassain (actually found it in the changing rooms at work, which was a bonus). Must give it a watch again (although I have a ridiculous catalogue of movies I've not seen to plough through).

I guess on the more universal scale, but maybe it will have more success on the local level. How much more obvious can it get from the FOX Chicago logo, the peculiar name, and the womanly business suit?

Apparently a lot more obvious.

Sorry, just wasn't a particularly good bit of satire. The ...

I have to say Uncontrolled Substance is my #1, but that's because Inspectah Deck has always been my favorite. I think if I were completely objective Liquid Swords would be #1, it's just so good. The use of all the Shogun Assassin/Lone Wolf and Cub quotes from the movies are awesome too cause I love ...
