Who doesnt love the movie Kids.. who doesnt love the song Kids in 96!

The Intern finally gets to dance with The Waitress

I was probably going to goto this anyway as i think Seth is an amazing talent and has a very bright future.
I think both these two Seth especially(he has a lot more exposure than Ryan) are very good for the Australian music industry and Australian music fans in general. Most people think of ‘Aussie Hip Hop’ and think of dudes with shaved heads, wearing Melburn tshirts, rocking baggy jeans and some form of skate shoe, air force one or Timbalands, but these two are far from the stereotypical Australian Hip Hopper.

They both are not afraid to sing on tracks and they both (well i know Ryan isnt anyway) are not afraid of sounding to girly on a track.

(I remember back in the day Ryan(18 at the time) was told by a label, “we like your stuff but come back in a few years when your voice is deeper”… no wonder the dude had a break from the industry hey)

Seth has been seen a lot with Pez and 360.. Supporting Pez’ national wide tour, so he has a lot of recent experience under his belt, so im excited to see how he works the crowd. I think the thing about his style is that most of his songs he uses a “sing-song” flow so this is very easy for the crowd to sing a long with. I think Ryan is very excited to Seth do his thing also and im sure Ryan will learn a thing or two of Mr.Sentry.
Tell me the crowd wont go nuts to this track!

These shows will be very entertaining and i suggest that you all get along!

Goodluck to both of you and all other artists preforming!

I’m pretty excited for my boy to finally get a decent show!

At work today we had my ipod playing out the back..
My man was going through it and he chucked on The Game – The Documentary. In my eyes it is easily his best album, but haters will protest that it has productions by Dre, Kanye West, Just Blaze, Timbaland and Cool & Dre so how could it not be good? + it has guest features from 50, Nate Dogg, Slim Shady, Mary J, Busta Bust and Faith Evans.

The whole album is Game trying to get respect back to the westside, which i think somebody had to do sooner or later, and Game does have skills but i think that is why Dre was so keen to jump on board and make him successful, to get the power back to the west.

The album is pretty tight start to finish, whenever i put it on 75% of the time i play it start to finish. The production is very clean and a lot of good beats on there but i think most of the lyrics go with the beats and match them quality-wise.

I think the first few times i played this my favorite songs were – Dreams, Hate it or Love It(who doesnt love 50 and Game together) & Start from Scratch.. Then my mate loved No More Fun and Games, and played that constantly then that grew on me. Then i was listening to The Documentary and i heard ” I’m ready to die without a reasonable doubt, smoke chronic and hit it doggy style before I go out, until they sign my death certificate, all eye’s on me, I’m still at it, Illmatic and that’s “The Documentary“‘. Around this time i read how when he was recovering in hospital he studied these 7 classic hiphop albums and tried to learn as much of them as possible, and then in the Title track he drops all of them in one line.

Then tonight my mate put on We Ain’t, i really listened to it and forgot how good Slims verse was, and i’m not sure if id forgotten or didnt realise before, after Slims verse Game comes back with

Low get Dre on the phone quick
Tell him Eminem just killed me on my own shit
I’m walking through 8 mile, startin’ to get home sick
I’ma do Shady numbers, I’m ridin’ my own dick

Wow.

I’ll put a mp3 player on this post soon!

but til then go listen to it!

So the people voted, and Ryan posted.

i actually miss this tape, i reckon ive listened to each track 30-40 times each atleast! Thats both short version which was released earlier and then also the original version..
it still gets me..
if u know me u no i have my moments.. sometimes / some songs just get me going.. this tape gets me feeling screw the whole education system.. do your own thing..
“everynow and then say What The Fuck, What The Fuck gives you Freedom, Freedom brings Opportunity,Opportunity makes your Future.” is a sound clip which Ryan used from Risky Business in one of his tracks. its such a true statement.. i only really just took notice of this quote the other night when i copped the Official Unreleased Version haha..
