Dubstep Juggling...

No, I'm not talking about some kind of intricate turntablist routine... This video showcases some dude's incredible juggling skills, performed in time to a Dubstep soundtrack.

Big up Khal for sending this through.

The first DJ battle in the world... (Video)

Check out that guy's skank at 45 seconds. LOL.

Charlie Sheen x Dubstep (Video)

I think I just saw the ROFLCOPTER fly past... Wait, there it is..

Another BAPE fail...

BAPE brogues? Really? Really?!

I hate to sound rude, but if I see you walking down down the street you're wearing these monstrosities, I will laugh at you...

This made me chuckle...

Cobra Island Rave (Video)

This never fails to make me laugh. Whoever made this is not only a comedy genius, but pretty messed up in the head too. If you've got 10 minutes or so to waste, then check this out!

R.I.P. Guru

R.I.P. Guru, who unexpectedly passed away yesterday. To many Hip Hop fans such as myself, he was undoubtedly one of the greatest of all time. Practically every single Gang Starr album is a certified classic ("Moment of Truth" and "Hard to Earn" in particular), as was his "Jazzmatazz" series.



Guru was such a nice guy. Back when I was a nobody, he still had the time to bless me with a drop for my mixtapes and radio shows...To me getting a drop from a legend like him was an honour; it's a damn shame he's now gone. He'll be sorely missed by the Hip Hop community.





P.S. Fuck Solar, that's all I'm saying...

Angry American Idol Contestant (Video)

Why can't X-Factor be more like this show? Waitresses with amazing backoffs, crazy old dudes singing "Pants On The Ground", and weirdos such as this guy, who kicks off after being told he can't sing.

In the words of DJ Hotpoint, only in America...

Jumpstyle? (Video)

Allow the UK Funky skanks, it's all about Jumpstyle...

Crazy things on Twitter: @IndustryHater

Following on from the demise of Grimebitch's blog (due to Chipmunk's lawyers throwing a hissy fit and shutting it down allegedly), the latest profile to cause controversy on Twitter is the aptly titled IndustryHater, whose tweets mainly consist of firing shots at artists, DJs, bloggers etc within the UK music scene...

Is he/she an alias? Is it Grimebitch under a different name? Is this just a wind up? Or is it simply someone with too much time on their hands? Answers on a post card please...

True, if people are "hating" on your movements as an artist, then yes it can be said that do care about what you're doing. Whether you choose to get worked up about it, or just simply brush it off is up to you...

"Jedward" have ruined the Ghostbusters theme for me... (Video)

This surely has to be a fix, with these cretins destined to lose out in the final to someone with talent? If not, the majority of the British public are fucking clueless morons.

I would normally just ignore this wastegash progamme, but you can't...just CAN'T butcher this track..It's a classic!

Can someone please tell me what the hell this is all about?

Kate Moss Storms Out of GQ Awards... (Video)

...only to realise she'd lost her lipstick. Dizzee cracked me up on this one!

Celebs and their egos, eh?

Roc Raida Injured?

UPDATE: Just saw on Q-Bert's Twitter that Roc Raida has recovered in great condition. It's all good!

I've just found out via Twitter that former DMC World Champion and DJ-ing legend Roc Raida is currently in hospital, following some kind of accident. No full details as of yet, but after doing a spot of online research (Via RTD), it seems that Raida has had to undergo spinal surgery.

Please spare a moment for Roc Raida, and pray that he gets well soon.

In the meantime, some videos to prove why he's one of the greatest...

Tweetlejuice, Tweetlejuice, Tweetlejuice

Your IP host with the most...

Genius!

Atmos x Reebok Ex-O Fit Strap "Nightmare"

A "nightmare" is exactly what this shoe is...Stinking!

If I see you wearing this, I will come and laugh at you. Unless you're Jean Claude Van Damme. Or Kimbo Slice. Then I won't say anything at all....

Get off the Bandwagon: House Music

NOTE: I'm not going to single out anyone in particular. If this applies to you...well...it obviously applies to you!

It's been a while since I've had a good rant on here. I would normally ignore it all and keep doing my own thing when it comes to bandwagons and the people that jump on it. However as each day goes by, I see more and more people jumping on the whole House thing, and to be honest, it really annoys me.

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 12-18 months, "Funky" or "UK Funky" has taken the industry by storm. In some ways it's great, as record labels are now investing more in UK artists in general, and also taking notice of new talent. With an official compilation out now, and a couple of others on the way, it looks set to become the soundtrack to most people's summers. Although on the other hand, the constant bombardment of skanking tunes, the sheer amount of substandard product, and the fact that everyman and his dog is trying to make (and DJ) Funky has saturated the scene something silly, leaving us with a watered down pile of crap to sift through when it comes to finding new music.

K.I.G. & Gracious K both came with something original, and it worked well. They're good tracks. Now everyone thinks they can hijack someone's beat and come up with a dance that makes you look like a twat.

Crazy Cousinz, Attacca Pesante, Donaeo, Lil Silva, Ill Blu, Geeneus have all put out some great music. Now every bedroom DJ thinks they can do the same with a cracked copy of Fruityloops...and then put on crap event after crap event which I seem to get a million invites for on Facebook EVERY DAY.

However, what pisses me off the most is the DJs that all of a sudden dropped whatever they were normally spinning, in order to cash in on the genre and get try to get more bookings. Most of these people had no love (or knowledge) for House music at the start, so why pretend?

They're excuse? "Oh I've always been into House man, I'm now just trying to find my own sound." Are you bollocks! The main reason why you're spinning House music is mainly because of the popularity of Funky. So you've bought a few other joints off Beatport or Juno (or most likely downloaded from blogspots), and read up on what's hot on few forums...congratu-fuckin-lations, you're such a big boy/big gal House DJ.

I love it how they then act like they've spinning the genre for time, and strut around like they're some kind of House music connoisseur. Aside from the Electro & "Gutter/Wobble" House which I love, this Funky/Soulful/Deep thing isn't really for me. Saying that, I do play the bigger Funky tunes in some venues, because...well...that's my job as a DJ: to entertain and keep the crowd moving.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for exploring and discovering new genres and artists (you all know I play/mash many styles together), and new avenues with DJ-ing (Video-SL, Ableton Live, etc), but when you completely switch up your style just to cash in on the latest trend, that's some weak shit. Some fake shit, in fact.

I hate to think what the biters will latch onto next once the Funky hype dies off. I pray it's not Dubstep.

Anyways, if you're reading this, and I've offended you, I really couldn't care less. I'll keep doing my own thing while you can all ride the wagon 'til it breaks down.

Until then, get some originality.

Lethal B Vs. Jammer (Video)

Funny to watch, but in all fairness...who really gives a shit?! There's a million and one replies from Jammer, but I can't be bothered to post them all up on here. Just head over to Youtube

On another note, I miss Grime circa 2004/2005...

Stuff you normally wouldn't see on a carrier bag..

The parentals came back from vacation, with a t-shirt for me. Whilst said item is pretty nice (Green Lantern logo ftw!), the bag it came in (pictured above) is even better...

P.S. Gotta love the fact the bag also reads "España", when in fact the t-shirt was bought on holiday in Borneo...
