Clash Magazine interviewed Paul White about his views on mixtape culture. He talks about freedom of expression, Tony Touch, and being too shy to make tapes for girls. Read it here.
Here’s a brilliant animated video for The Doldrums by Paul White, taken from Rapping With Paul White. Watch below and get the track as a free download right here.
Props to Plastic Horse for their fantastic work. Here are some stills:
Bullion and Mark From Middlesex, two of our favourite selectors, met recently in a Dutch brothel. They played strange music for hours. That’s all we know.
Enjoy!
We’ve little patience for endless end-of year lists, but here are a few highlights from the most important categories:
BUTTOCK-PAINTING OF THE YEAR
Mr Muthaf*ckin’ Exquire ft Despot, Das Racist, El-P & Danny Brown – Huzzah (Remix). And the best posse cut too.
MOST FUN HAD WHILE HIGH
151 Feva Gang – Kush Groove. In a year where weed intake in rap was equated with spacey slow jams, these guys showed that obvious samples, rollerskates and tiger-print trousers are the way to do it.
HIPSTER RECORD THAT WAS ACTUALLY GOOD
Peaking Lights – 936. Sometimes the hipsters are right, damn them.
MOST SLEPT-ON MODERN CLASSICAL/SOUNDTRACK ISH
Hauschka – Salon Des Amateurs. The master of the prepared piano delivered another wonderful album. People didn’t seem to notice.
What did we miss?
