General Discussion / Re: Journalist arrested

What's going to be interesting is the reaction from journalists and media companies in general if the two big media bills do get pa**ed.

There is so much money invested in SA media, so many different outlets. Dozens of companies, multinationals. Thousands upon thousands of journalists. And every single one will oppose the government hands down.

What happens when an unstoppable force (ANC) meets an immovable object (The SA media)?

I just saw this too. f***ing terrifying.

I've never felt so helpless as a working journo. I have an intense desire to smack someone. This is absolutely the worst possible thing that could happen.

And you think this is bad? Watch out Deac, they want to ban pron.

20/20 EPISODE 115 (04/08/10)

New hip-hop makes us excited. And trust us, 20/20 will distil the essence of what's out there down to twenty minutes of the finest hip-hop you can imagine. So let's get cracking.

Four brand new albums: cla**ic NY boom-bap from Marco Polo, a brand new Outkast album (sort of) from Big Boi, a highly experimental joint from Rakaa and some heat from Rhyme Asylum. Oh, and Termanology and Statik Selectah, both known as 1982. Plus Xzibit, plus Ca**idy. All in all, 20/20 keeps the fire stoked.
- Goin' Back - 1982 featuring Xzibit and Ca**idy
- Radio (Marco Polo Remix) - Marco Polo featuring Exile, Ruste Juxx and Torae
- Fo Yo Sorrows - Big Boi featuring Too $hort, George Clinton and Sam Chris
- C.T.D - Rakaa Iriscience
- Event Horizon - Rhyme Asylum featuring Crooked I

Great video, cool song. I really like this guy.

Speaking of which...

20/20 EPISODE 114 (28/07/10)

It's all about the ladies this time around. Well, OK, that's not true. It's all about what happens when the guys fall foul of the ladies. Come hear what Doc Syntax and J.Cole have to say. Look, I'm sorry if you think this is coming from a sexist perspective, but sometimes ladies just outwit, outplay and outsmart guys. Seriously, if they ruled the world we'd never have war. Except for once a month where we'd all die in a nuclear apocalypse.

Ignore me - just listen to the music. And did we mention we have a new Bliss n Eso single?

- Back Down - Dr. Syntax featuring Graziella
- Lights Please - J.Cole
- Golden Years - Bliss n Eso
- Goodbye Gravity - M-Phazes featuring Muph and Plutonic
- Divine Right Of Kings - Crate Creeps featuring Rhyme Asylum

Politics / Re: Factors and agency leading to curriculum renewal: a basic review of the history

« on: July 21, 2010, 11:53:59 AM »

Seriously breh.

You think these cats are gonna read all that after all the previous commentary?

Don'tget me wrong, I do believe it is an important topic which needs to be adressed, but here is the situation:
Panic once asked why we always diss cats who come onto AG like you.
I don't know about the rest of the people here, but for me the reason is simple. Because it is fun.

Then, there is also the fact that it is exactly because of people who think that in order to be taken seriously, you have to speak over people's heads, that young kids aren't interested in uplifting themselves and improving their knowledge.
They see education as something above them, because it is for people who they can't understand. the cats who speak over people, instead fo to people.

I haven't read your paper yet, but judging from your other posts, I a**ume this will be in the same vein.

I'll read it and let you know what I think, but I would appreciate it if you also take my commentary to heart.

Peace.

@Solarman: yes, we mock you. But ultimately, the material you post is extremely poorly written. It favours verbose discussion over actual intelligent prose. Posting bibiliographies will not help.

So I suggest that if you wish to be taken seriously on this site, you re-evaluate the material you post here: not its point or arguments, but the way it is expressed. What Pyro said about talking over people's heads makes a lot of sense.

You should hear the album I'm cooking up.  Props fam.

Tight...any leaks yet? Plz hook up the link for SUPER HERO (if I'm not mistaken).

No leaks yet. I haven't started mixing, though I'm nearly done with recording.

The new record is called African. Beats are by Alias, San, Sloth, ProChrist and (fingers crossed) Nyambz too. Only one guest MC so far - but let's just say it's someone super fresh.

Best way to get the Superhero EP is right here: http://robboffard.com/page5.htm

20/20 EPISODE 113 (14/07/10)

You are not going to believe the heat on this episode. For starters, heaviest emcee in UK rap (lyrically and literally) has a got a stormer of a single out. Stig Of The Dump is his name. I Got Game is the single. Pete Cannon is the producer. Mood Swings is the album. Hugely excited are we.

Stig is one of the illest rappers in the world, hands down - and if you think we're taking the piss, he just won the End Of The Weak World Champs for a second time. Exactly.

What else? New Mystro, new Black Milk, some Klashnekoff, and that Usain Bolt track everybody's been talking about...

- Around My Way - Mystro
- I Got Game - Stig Of The Dump
- Back To The Sagas - Klashnekoff
- Welcome (Gotta Go) - Black Milk
- Usain Bolt - Tumi featuring Zubz
