Comega has the dopest flow, the deepest lyrics, the illest eyewear (as obvious in the following video), and he gives the hottest, most thoughtful interviews. This one is one of the best yet (professionally done too). He goes in depth regarding Tha Realness, which as the year is coming to an end, I have to put as the very best album of the decade. I’m almost sure of that.
Born And Raised isn’t the masterpiece that I was expecting though, mainly because of some poor production choices (Mega Fresh X, Get It In). Odd, odd since Cory normally has an excellent ear for beats. Still, Mega has improved with the lyrics yet again. If you don’t put Journey, The Rapture and Define Yourself as some the best tracks of the year, I question your taste in traditionalist rap music.
Riktigt stor låt. Sebbe är en av Sveriges bästa rappare och Masse är ett geni (att få ravesynthar att låta så hårda är vad genier gör).
(Kartellen har även den bästa bloggen av alla svenska rappare, inte för att jag följer konkurrensen men ändå).

Apropå Stockholmsrappare som förtjänar mer uppmärksamhet: Fittja Chrille har gjort del i tre av svensk raphistorias bästa låtar. Samma Knas Varje Dag. Ainaziz. Och solomästerverket Kårens stolthet.
Just like every other sunday, today is Tim Maia sunday…
If you go look on the youtube for clips with the great Soul singer and man of Funk, mostly 80s and 90s shit will come up, and seriously… those weren’t good times for Soul and Funk. Even though Tim Maia sang as good as ever, the musical backdrop suffers from the placebo syndrome. That’s why I bring to you these two wonderful 70s clips.
The second and most important clip is a medley from 1974 that finishes of with my personal favorites Azul Da Cor Do Mar and Imunização Racional (Que Beleza). Apart from the sound engineer almost completely cutting out the metal section this clip is straight manna from the desert skies.
This is great news, Ill Bill being one of my favorite rappers, and Muggs one of my favorite producers. The album he did with GZA was pretty good, the one with Sick Jacken had some of the rawest rap tracks from recent times (Land Of Shadows was perhaps the best song of that year) on it, so I’m thinking this should be nothing short of epic.
The project with Sean Price (Pill?) should be very interesting as well. Two unique, hardcore Brooklyn vets sharing the mic; that’s a dream combo. Let Necro handle the production.
Even though I doubt we’ll see another Tha Realness (aka the best record of this decade), judging from what I’ve heard so far it’ll be at least as good as The True Meaning.
