Average Rap Band (Tom Scott & Lui Tuiasau) - Release Groundbreaking Introspective Rap Record "Stream of Nonsenseness"



Produced by Dandruff Dicky

Budget for record $42 dollars but it sounds 


like a million redistributed dollars. There are 


also some really tasty t-shirts available via 


bandcamp

https://averagerapband.bandcamp.com/merch/average-rap-band-black-t-shirt


Favourite track at the mo: Bending Spoons 

It was actually really buzzy cause I just watched this really boring youtube video about the difference between analytical philosophy and the continental vibes  So it's good to know Tom Scott and his peer-reviewed crew don't think much of the analytical side of things just listen to the lampooning on "What it Is" the sampled geezer clearly conveys how boring and full of crap sanitised philosophy can be!

 I mean I was doing an honours course at debt ladened AU and had the misfortune of choosing a $1000 honours paper that studied word for word Ludwig Wittgensteins "Philosophical Investigations" to be honest I enjoyed it in a quirky way but couldn't understand any of the logic and stuff in it. I read it my way as I wasn't 'allowed' to read any secondary texts (books on hard and confusing books) in the end I just canned it. 

Anyway all the continental philosophers are god damn Rockstars aka Nietzsche, Zizek, Plato, Marx but some analytical philosophers are cool to like Aristotle and Kant is kind of half of each side and ethics is mainly analytical and I really enjoy that stuff but anything to heavy on the numbers and Im putting that book down. Just like the old skool wise dude Montainge  he guy who invented the essay he said 'I aint hurting my head for no book, read read it again but i'd rather throw it away then stress out about it!' (paraphrase). Proust also a total continental guy believed every book no matter how good it was none of them no book can ever be above being thrown away by us in favour of doing something else ironic as he wrote the longest most windy and slow paced book in the world but apparently its pretty good I mean the title is basically the dopiest ever "In Search of Lost Time"

Drake Dropping some Philosophical Gems Courtesy of Sprite and The Fader



Drake's main points - just keep moving forward don't worry about your wins or losses just keep raking them up regardless - quantity over quality produces quality

"Keep things moving"

Be proud and represent your City don't listen to anyone tell you about rainbows and the easy street
that doesn't exist in another country or city

Remember to mix things up and always push the envelop people want an artist not just a rapper,
very true as I see artists who think about videos, artwork, sounds, songs, vibes, and variation on
the same old stuff

Haters are just showing you love their invested in you - they are the confused ones

Sometimes your Dad has a good idea and you should listen to them

Story telling is everything and staying true to your own unique tales

If you got the Music thats all you need nothing else, 'Flip your way of thinking'

How About Now?!



HOW ABOUT NOW?!

"That's the shit I'm talking 'bout though, like you changed up, you don't even fuckin' link nobody no more, you just dash me 'way like a cyattie. Yo, you cheesed me dog."

Always felt like my vision been bigger than the bigger picture
Crazy how you gotta wait until it's dark out to see who really with you
Crazy how even when it miss ya, shit'll come back around and get ya
Crazy like all my niggas, crazy like all my niggas
Remember I deleted all my other girls numbers out the phone for you?
Remember when you had to take the BAR exam, I drove in the snow for you
Yeah, you probably don't remember half the shit a nigga did for you

Ya, you ain't really fuck with me way back then girl, how 'bout now?
Cause I'm up right now and you stuck right now
Aw, you thought you had it all figured out back then girl, how 'bout now?
Cause I'm up right now and you stuck right now
Yeah, you thought the little effort that you put in was enough girl, how 'bout now?
Yeah, Girl how 'bout now? How 'bout now girl?
What about now girl? How 'bout now?

Yeah, Always been daddy's little angel
I bought your dad a bunch of shit for Christmas, he ain't even say thank you
I had no money, left from back when I was focused on the music
I used to always try and burn you CDs of my new shit
You be like "who's this?"
I be like "me, girl."
You be like "oh word, true shit?"
Then ask if we could listen to Ludacris
Them car rides made me feel like I was losing it
Yeah, made me feel like I ain't have it like that,
I was average like that
Started drinking way more than I used to
People form habits like that, girl
Yeah, man enough to tell you I was hurt that year
I'm not even Christian I still went to church that year
Guess I just had to pretend that year
I ain't even see my friends that year
Places that I should've been
You ain't really fuck with me way back then but how 'bout now?

Cause I'm up right now and you stuck right now
Aw, you thought you had it all figured out back then girl, how 'bout now?
Cause I'm up right now and you stuck right now
Yeah, you thought the little effort that you put in was enough girl, how 'bout now?
Girl how 'bout now? How 'bout now girl?
What about now girl? How 'bout now?

New Release: "Mike Will Been Trill" - Claims Instant Classic featuring Saint Nicholas Updated: Na I listened to this More and it is a classic!!! MikeWillMadeIt


Na I listened to this More and it is a classic!!! MikeWillMadeIt!!!

Here's  a new mixtape from Mike-Will-Made-It called "MikeWillBeenTrill". Apparently the author claims that the free record in his own words is another classic and lets face it with confidence like that it could be bro. He also claims that his bag of tricks is well packed with banger beats because "this aint even a third of my back catalogue". He's been on a roll this December and you just can't help but be impressed by an artist that is still locked in with his core fans who where them from day one. 

Na I listened to this More and it is a classic!!! MikeWillMadeIt!!!


The release features 2 Chainz, Big Sean, Jay-Z even Miley Cyrus for a rehash of a song they made.  My favorite is the tune with Jay-Z (it seems the best recorded). I wasn't really feeling Big Seans track and 2 Chainz I almost fell asleep on, everything else also seems a bit like dull chrome that needs to be brought up to par. The release is good just not great and definitely not a classic. Make up your own mind. I like the intro when he talks shit about being Saint Nicholas that's gold. I'm also feeling Futures tune that is sick to the hell that stolen from the devil shit.

Na I listened to this More and it is a classic!!! MikeWillMadeIt!!!

Premier: Spycc - Slow Down - Shot on Video Camcorder



My mutual friend Spycc released his latest music video "Slow Down" in early December. I dig the tongue in check video. It looks like it was shot on a camcorder that 90's oldskool ting before the digital revolution. I went to "Onehunga High School" when the aforementioned rapper was in attendance I remember those days very vividly.

The kids were always onto the latest trends way before I was. Thinking back I remember all my friends doing the Soljah Boy dance before anyone else was in NZ haha. People were always saying this guy is coming up man, next thing you know he is the first person born in the 90's to go number one (US).

On the track the flow of Spycc is dope as always. I really like the energy of the video and the little kid riding on the tricycle reminds me of the one I had. It was blue though and it got all rusted because I left it in the rain. The back trailer was just a hole.

 It's great to see kids still going hard on their tricycles and dope to see Spycc promoting positive vibes in the community. It would be sick if this song was getting solid spins on TV over Xmas. It would totally open up the doors to other artist getting local content on TV. Seems rather silly that something by NZ on Air should get spins while something else doesn't when there is no difference in the content. Hopefully Spycc's video kicks down some doors in the industry that needs to remember Talent is at the top of the industry and everything else is dependent on emerging artists.

To sum up I'm loving the video, loving Onehunga talent & looking forward more new music in 2014!

Premier: David Dallas - The Wire Feat Ruby Frost - Rap Flow is On Point



Here is the new David Dallas video "The Wire" co-starring Ruby Frost. I'm digging the visuals of the video shot by Joel Kafeli (Lorde). I think the flow on this song is a solid effort by the South Auckland Rap upstart. Arguably the kid is reigning supreme in NZ. Not sure about the choice of Ruby Frost's "Wire"vocal  motif, sounds a little bit strained. But, DDot's flow is on point.

The great thing about David Dallas is his perserverance and hard-work. He could potentially hunt down a solid stateside hit. All he needs is a top songwriter to help him kill the hook like Alicia Keys and Jay-Z when they teamed up on "New York" (outsider writers penned the hook). No doubt The Neo-Kalashnikovs could deliver a renewed injection into the creative mix (lyrically, vocally, hooks)   but at the end of the day thats the artists decision.

If I was helping manage David Dallas I would concentrate on dropping singles every 3 months and throwing away the album format. Bigger buzz and happier fans. It would no doubt be easier to fuel his creative model. Wishing him a solid 2014 and Sorry for insulting ya bro (real talk)!!! :), just pissed me off hard when NZ on Air didn't give me a shot and my detractors on the board were allowed to run a personal vendetta when they should be concentrating on funding dope art. And it's still all good.
