Have you ever wondered what Carlton from the Fresh prince might have sounded like if he took up rapping part time, how his flow would drop? his lyrics? his hooks?
Well, this video below is exactly what we reckon he’d sound like, absolute gash, truly awful, words cannot describe the atrocity against hip hop that Skepta’s flow on this track has committed:
We solemnly pray that our father who art in Hip Hop forgive him for his sins or he may just end up in Hip Hop hell alongside the likes of Vanilla Ice, Master Shortie, Craig David (see his talking the ardest freestyle), John Barnes n Messy Marv.
Kyza Smirnoff is launching his forthcoming mixtape ‘Shots of Smirnoff’ this Friday @ the legendary Jazz Cafe. Get down there and support the cause – a mixtape sampler and freebie track below, click the flyer to buy tickets.
Master Shortie has got a HUGE, BASS ridden stonker of a remix to his first single ‘Dead End’ grab it below and check out his album A.D.H.D which is out on the 27th July.
Roots Manuva has finally lost his marbles, in fact the whole dam plot and put out some dreadful noise that goes by the name of do nah bodda mi, if you are a Roots groupie and/or deaf, feel free to download the mp3 which is below:
Micall Parknsun, he of the UK’s 1990’s backpack generation is back with a new track that goes by the ?original? name of All 4 Hip Hop. The track is produced by Australias own M-PHAZES, [best known for his work with CL SMOOTH, ELZHI and ROYCE 59] and the remix includes a Jehst Remix. The release is sure to be a hit with all the back pack carrying, Van’s wearing , baked bean eating , soap dodging students across the country. Grab the mp3’s below:
Finally, it’s an old one but well worth a download, Charlie Sloth has put together a diss track aimed at all the UK Hip Hop Dj’s, amusing even if only for a fleeting minute.
I know its tuesday and we a day late with the new segment, but here at “aint hard to tell” we love us some decent mashups and to kick us off we have the Escobar mash.
