Single Of The Week - Nicki Minaj :Roman In Moscow
0 Comments. 1,092 Views. Posted 12 Jan 2012 @ 10:04am.
If Roman Zolanski is Nicki's alter ego, Nikki is Kanye West's better half. Her new single is all ferocious, gnashing melodrama, taking hip hop to psychotic operatic heights that Kanye can only tweet about. Popping with dancehall rhythms, the track includes mad jabbering rhymes that bend and flex with elastic stretch, hollering, moaning, skittering and bouncing in unfettered, full flight rap...

The hip hop invasion of Australia kicked off around a decade ago with the infiltration of troublemakers like Eminem. "Infesting in your kid's ears and nesting," he once said. After years of festering in the beer-fuelled underground, hip hop of the Aussie variety began to make its mark as the Hilltop Hoods and their brethren shook up radio complacency. Thanks to their door opening, a new... Read More

Early in 2011, this heavyweight collaboration was set in stone when they released H.A.M. - a song that signified the strength of their partnership, and just a taste of what worldwide fans were to expect from the forthcoming album....

After a long wait, hip-hop titans Jay-Z and Kanye West have announced the release date for their epic collaboration effort Watch The Throne. The album is set to be one of the biggest releases of the year, so big that lead single H.A.M. has been relegated to a mere bonus track.   Latest single Otis marks a change in direction from first single H.A.M, substituting the overblown Lex Luger...

So the receptionist emailed me last week and said 'Your hoodied hooligan mate just dropped off something off for you'. So I went downstairs and there was Bias B's new LP Biaslife waiting for me at the front desk. Bias delivers! Not just in the save postage on promo sense either, cause the album is the Melbourne stalwart and Obese legend's best work to date. Sure Beezwax will always be an absolute... Read More

First and foremost it’s my civil duty to say fuck you MOS for deciding to get your grubby corporate fingers and use them to digitally rape hip hop. It’s all fun and games to attempt to make dollars from something, just keep your hands off the music I like, thanks. With that out of the way this is actually a pretty good collection of party tracks. The cheesy is here of course with Young MC, Salt N... Read More
Kanye & Jay-Z : H.A.M.

Hard As Motherfucker (Hard-as motherfucker? Hard as motherfuck?) is the first single from the highly anticipated Jay-Z/Kanye album Watch The Throne. It’s a hysterical bit of nonsense that weaves together Phantom Of The Opera-style string climaxes and warbling operatic vocals with smug, erratic rhymes. It is hip hop as Kanye likes to do it – grandiose, slightly ridiculous and... Read More
