WNC Whop Bezzy ft. 70th Street Carlos - WTF I Look Like
(From YouTube; 2025)
Ain't it grand when some faves who fell off hard manage to recapture the old magic? I'm down with WNC, yeah you know me. Boosie FatAzz & his Bezzy m8 back on their Berserker-Bounce shit. This song sounds like the hottest thing from the Wild West to come outta the South.
Two U.K Rap songs which are all up in my ears & eyes right now. Both of them givin' me specific vybz I can't get from any current American Rap songs. Which is the whole point of U.K Rap innit. Otherwise why does U.K Rap need to exist?
PS: if we sacrifice Howie B to a volcano can we get Hitman Howie Tee back? HHT was born in London which possibly explains why he was able to integrate Reggae into Rap better than most of his 'Murican contemporaries. For doz that slept, Howie was one of New York's great producers of the golden-era responsible for such hall of fame singles as Nothing Serious (Just Buggin') by Whistle, I Got It Made by Special Ed, Treat 'Em Right by Chubb Rock and Hickeys On Your Check by Little Shawn. For my money, tho, his best productions are two Special Ed album tracks: Taxing and Ready 2 Attack. Rest in peace to the producer whose best beats never fail to make me bust the running man even if it's just in my head. Thanx for the hits, man.
Obligatory wrap-up post of those songs I've played most during the month when I can no longer find my favourite Hollywood Hogan Voodoo Child... entrance on YouTube. It's the episode of Nitro after Curt Hennig turned heel on Ric Flair at some PPV and then officially joined the n.W.o. The clip features some epic belt-guirar action from Hogan. If you got the goods, give 'em up. All that I can find is the part where Hennig takes a cup to the domepiece.
Bonus bloggin: 1nce again I'm gonna use my monthly wrap-up post to keep track of the best movies and TV shows I've been watching. * indicates rewatches dunnit.
Funnymike - Bust It Like Londyn
(From Bust It Like Londyn single; 2025)
I've been listening to Rap music since 1985/1986 and it still has the ability to surprise me. For example, never in a month of Ruby Tuesdays did I ever think that the internet comedian who trolled 21 Savage as 22 Savage in 2016 would drop the rowdiest Baton Rouge brawl music song of 2025. The Rouge stays undefeated at having Rap songs about fighting in the club which feature children.
Cozmik Law - Loot 'A Getcha (Coast Ta Coast Bust That Dial Mix)
(From On Da Brink album; 1997)
Another song ya host Bloggy Brackins discovered via BigSleep's Bay Area Jazz-Rap compilations. A worthy entry into the For The Love Of Money canon which began properly in 1984 with its first great use Step Off by Melle Mel & The Furious Five. This mix of Loot 'A Getcha is some charmingly naive Bay Area backpack-Rap which is aimed at the dancefloor. Granted, it's a dancefloor which is 85% male, but a dancefloor is still a dancefloor innit. If the 12" containing this song had ever made it to the U.K, it would have gone gold in Mr Bongo.
A good example of why Rap songs with choruses are invariably better than Rap songs without. And this song features a chorus so catchy it sounds like summat kidz have been singing in the playground for the last 50 years. Best Monaleo song since the We Not Humping remix or wot?
