Does anybody have the track listing to this album and also can I find out who produced some of the tracks on here? Basically is there anyone with the inside scoop on this album?

Hot Traxxx / Download TNG 2 Questions

« on: June 28, 2004, 07:02:00 PM »

The Hiphocalypse review said

Quote:

"(2 Questions)... is arguably THE best TNG track (I have heard) thusfar. "2 Questions" is an introspective gem that tackles the very pertinent issue of Xenophobia in SA. T tells a story of a real life alteraction he had with the law and a Cashless Society interview in which this ugly demon bore its head. In Verse 2 Geezay preaches a hip hop prescription for weak minded individuals about how great it is to have the same common denominator (Hip Hop) and use that to bridge the (geographic/cultural) gaps our forefathers failed. Definately prescribed for anyone with half an open mind. I´m really feeling this one. This deserves a good listen for it gives some food for thought for anyone that has had to deal with Xenophobia."

Traders / RINGTONES??

« on: June 01, 2004, 09:43:00 PM »

Just got a new phone that plays Polyphonic ringtones which makes for great personalisation so you know I gotsta share!
In the Spirit of entrepreneurship (bigup TNG & SoulFu Enterprises) we at the Hiphocalypse are looking at providing a free (well at least for the first couple of users) service for hip hop heads (like Yall).
The service will  provide free polyphonic ringtones for all who show interest.
So if you want your phone to ring HIP HOP e.g Mobb Deep - Shook Ones; Wu-Tang -Reunited; Even  Local Joints like SK, Amu, Innovators...etc
Reply to this forum detailing what you´d be interested in so we can get an idea of numbers and start organising the service provision..

« on: May 18, 2004, 10:17:00 PM »

We at the HIPHOCALYPSE are in negotiations with some industry heads stateside about getting a tour by some De La Soul djs (Yes Maseo is one of them) later this year.
Still in its pleliminary phases but I need some feedback on possible sponsors PR people and general ideas on how to make it work from a financial perspective.
Maybe we could even do a joint promo with AG as well (Cha-Ching!)
Any ideas/Suggestions reply to this forum or contact me 072 520 2227.

Hip Hop Events / 2004 SAMA Awards

« on: April 21, 2004, 04:37:00 PM »

I noticed that there wasnt a post about the SAMA´s Best Rap awards on this site. So in the interest of generating discussion:
The Nominees for the 2004 SAMA awards
Best Rap Album:
Amu - The Life, Rap and Drama
Hip Hop Pantsula - O mang?
Mizchif - Supernatural (My Return)
Skwatta Kamp - Mkhukhu Funkshen
Tumi & The Volume - Live at the Ba**line

If I had to pick a winner I´d have to say Skwatta Kamp will probably take it but Tumi&The Volume had a much more musically mature album so they deserve to take it.
Judges you hear me? ;-) My AG ma**ive what U think?

What ommissions have there been from the list.
Who deserves to be there?

Do industry accreditations such as these still count for anything?

Hip Hop Events / HIPHOCALYPSE 030404

« on: April 06, 2004, 10:10:00 AM »

Tha HIPHOCALYPSE 030404 went down as planned/announced. Here is a breakdown of what happened for those of you not within a 15km radius of Grahamstown:
The show started with Mentalyricist doing his regular thang mixing it up as he usually does. Looks like the kid is maturing nicely but we´ll get to that later.
At 1030pm Mental announced he had a surprise guest...(drum roll please)..the Sensai steps to the mic & announces his return.
Played mostly African Hip Hop including:
Obita - "Move You" (Uganda)
Konfab - "Sister Girl" (Lesotho)
Tha Hymphatic Thabs - "i was" (SA)
Skwatta Kamp - "Spark It" (SA)
Cashless Society - "Hottentot Hop Bantu 1 2" (SA/Botswana)
Innovators - "Some of you swear to be emcees" (Zambia, Zim, Grahamstown)
Villian - "For the Love...of Hip Hop" (Limpopo Province)
Zen and 2nd Son - "Zenith" (Northwest Prov,Zambia, Grahamstown)
(For copies of all the above tracks feel free to contact me on 072 520 2227 or sensaitate@yahoo.com)
Rob One called all the way from London (Whatup Rob?) and announced the Dilated Peoples special in 2weeks (stay tuned for that).
Kamma & Biz came thru with Kamma´s new turntables and mixed a Tight set with the likes of Quasimoto (Remember him).
Then the all time RMR freestyle champ Mandrax the Drug lord aka "Rising Sun/Son" (Not to be confused with 2nd Son/Sun) showed why he is still the undisputed heavyweight freestyle champ by taking TNG to the streets on some Stallone & Chuck Norris type a** whipping (Thanks for playing T, Its all love).
Finally Menatlyricist showed why he´s such a valueable a**et to the Hiphocalypse spitting some shit he wrote that night in the studio accapella with Mandrax accompanying with some shit that he wrote over the Biz mixing.
All in all felt good to be back..definately gonna do it again...the Hiphocalypse just keeps growing from strength to strength!

Hot Traxxx / COMMON - RESURRECTION

« on: March 31, 2004, 09:26:00 AM »

Just got Common´s 2nd Album "Resurrection" & that sh^t is cla**ic man. Am I the only one that thinks 1994 was possibly the 2nd BIGGEST year in hip hop. Rap needs to get back to the days of responsible artists making music that ´alters your state of being´ like this album.
Common at (arguably) his best rappin over jazzy beats before Erykah messed with his head...
This is the album with the (I don´t want to call it this coz it has negative connotations) anthem "I used to love h.e.r a timeless hip hop cla**ic by anyone´s standards.
& dont forget track 12 Chapter 13 (rich man vs Poor man).
"Okay it was a black man a white man and a Chinese man
The black man of course he was po´ (yeah)
The white man... he was rich (uh-huh)
And the Chinese man, he owned a sto´ (aight c´mon)
Okay the black man lived on Beat Street
The white man lived on Wall Street
and at the Chinese man´s store is where they all meet
Not really on the good foot
cause the white man kept steppin on the black man´s toes (damn!)
And in his shoes there were holes
But the white man didn´t care;
shit, he didn´t have to wear it (uh uh)
The scratch that he had, he got from his parents;
with his tight a**, he woulda been poor white trash, but anyway
everyday the black man would ask him to spare change
but at him, the white man would stare strange
So the black man got fed up
cause wasn´t nobody feedin him and feedin him
And took red by his neck and started beatin him and beatin him
The Chinese man got ´noid and broke out like a peon
And now the black man own the store
and the name of it is Leon´s (what´s that?)
Barbeque that is..
Rib tips, hotsauce, mild sauce, fries, and chicken
-Disect it Comm was on more high tech shit computers wanna bite!
WHAT Lloyd Banks who?...
