Stället är trots allt uppkallat efter en svensk dude.

This is where Hip hop came from,
and back then we wasn’t killing each other like these
ipod having no reason niggas now.
A person can walk blocks of empty buildings
and no one would fuck with you.
Back then Shit was hard cuz shit was hard,
Now shit is hard, when shit aint hard.
These little brats need to see this video.

- As a kid, I lived right at the border between the South Bronx and Hunts Point, next to the Bruckner Expressway in the late 60s and then moved to the area north of the Bronx Zoo around 68. Overall the Bronx was tough with crime and gangs, yet I appreciated how most families had two parents and how they valued hard work, family time, and friendship and plenty of the neighborhood kids were ok to hang with. My big enjoyment was riding the #2 and #6 subway lines. I really miss those days.

- You’re lucky because its not even like that anymore. I love 80′s music especially rap and electro. Back at your time, neighborhoods were more vigilant, keeping their streets protected. Sure you guys had a hard time, but the fun you guy had made me wish I was born a decade earlier. I belong there.”

medan kids haffade gendishar i stan
efter lektionstid och shit var jag strapped med en glock
satt på en sten med namn och grät som ett barn
och tänkte, det är knas, en till vän begravd

det är sånt som händer när änglarna drar
ett osäkert barn, det är stressen i början
pressen som unga med växande drömmar
man såg Scarface och kunde inte blunda

med hjärnan i hundra, pappa var borta och koksa
jag softa och vägde själv summan av kardemumman
att de tunga flasha skumpa och gangsters var kungar
tänkte det i början, fick svårt att skilja åt respekt och fruktan

Black Ghost är Sveriges bästa rappare.

I hope Lord Finesse gets every last penny he’s suing Mac Miller for.

Nothing wrong with jacking an instrumental for a mixtape song or whatever, producers generally have no problems with that, but…

1. If I understood it correctly – I have, naturally, wasted no time listening to college dork’s music – he used Finesse’s classic instrumental for a career launching single and video, meaning there are many corporate dollars are involved.

2. Lord Finesse is the most underrated rapper and producer in history. Few, if any, have surpassed him artistically, and rappers and producers still eat of the style that he invented twenty years ago. But I believe his financial compensation for his monumental contributions to popular culture has been relatively small.

3. We detest Mac Miller, his ugly face, his clothes, his whole aura. Talentless middle class nobodies fattening their pockets of street culture is just sad.

I feel sort of the same way for Mr Muthafuckin Exquire using Necro’s Scumbags instrumental for Huzzah. But…

1. Huzzah is not quite as offensive to my ears (the remix is, though). Exquire is a good rapper and likeable, but nothing special if you put him next to the nineties giants he emulates. His success has less to do with his music and more to do with New Yorkers doing the same type of music having zero personality and charisma… and it’s been that way for years and years. And New York is still Hip Hop’s corporate stronghold, which means that lesser talents like Exquire, Action Bronson, and yeah, ASAP Rocky, still has a big advantage over artists from other states.

2. It seems like Huzzah was recorded and put out for fun. But since it became his breakout record, leading to a deal with Universal, Necro should definitely see some of that money.

3. 90 % of people hating on Necro are nerds, hating him since he reminds them of the bully who beat them up in high school. Black rappers cut from the same cloth are OK, though, since they’re viewed as exotic or something. Whatever, Necro still gets his props from Premier, Evil Dee, Buckshot, M.O.P., Raekwon, Kool G Rap, and so on.

I don’t listen to him much these days, and I can understand if you don’t like his subject matter, and his flow can be a bit forced, but he definitely has his moments. Plus he and his brother made the word goon popular way before everybody else.

And as a producer? He provided the planet with that incredible, gritty New York sound years after others ran out of steam. He should get millions of dollars for that alone. Lord Finesse is forever on a whole other level, but on the other hand, has not released music like this in a long time:

Fejs – Världen är så stor (Gävle Inkasso demo) by Fejs

Inkasso reppar tokar i alla rikets avkrokar. Detta är genialisk musik.

Det finns en möjlighet att Fejs solosläpp blir ett cinematiskt mästerverk.

Sverige är ett u-land som till 100% befolkas av bönder från små, sketna byar som flyttar till större, sketna byar, och tror de lever storstadslivet.

Vakna, vattenskallar.
