Two outstanding Hip-Hop albums in two weeks. Is rap back?
Funbongo: Maybe, almost, lets see what Kanye, Lupe Fiasco, Common, Rhymefest and Talib Kweli deliver this year...
Lupe Fiasco - I gotcha - Live Instrument Mix (zshare)
Albert: Oui, y not? It never left, it just had a quick sleepy bye bye. Is Tom Cruise back? When is Cocktail 2 coming out? I heard TomKat has persuaded Martin Clunes and Neil Morrisey from 'Men Behaving Badly' to star. Dame Judy Dench is signed up to duet with Dizzee Rascal on the soundtrack.
Pharoahe Monch is a brilliant rapper. Some of you may have heard his debut album Internal Affairs. It was released 1999 and was criminally deleted. It is an absolute pain in the rudebox to get hold of. Its going for $55 on Amazon and £45 on Play
You cannot buy it digitally online (correct me if I am wrong) so here is the best track off it.
Pharoahe Monch - The Light (zshare)
Here is a fantastic cameo of his on Amy Winehouse - Rehab Remix (zshare)
Here is a track from the Pharrell vs The Roots album that seems set to never get released. The album is called 'Out My Mind'
Pharrell and The Yessirs - Number One Ft Kanye West
This summer Pharoahe releases this:
Desire
Intro
Free
Desire
Push
Welcome To The Terror Dome
What It Is
When The Gun Draws
Let's Go
Body Baby
Bar Tap
Hold On
So Good
The Trilogy
Funbongo is lucky enough to have a copy and it is worth the 8 year wait since his last album.
