TOP 5 HIP HOP INSTRUMENTALS TO RIP!

Alright so I'm an avid hip hop afficionado. I listen to it more than any other genre. It seems to me that in new hip hop the production values have gone waaaay up and the artists lyrics have turn from imaginative wordplay into lil kid lullabys. So I give you 5 of the most nicest instrumentals of 2009-10 and if you can spit hotness hey go ahead why not do a video of you freestyling it or recording over it. Here we go (in no particular order):

1. Chris Brown ft Tyga - Holla At Me


2. Yo Gotti - Women Lie, Men Lie


3. Gucci Mane ft OJ Da Juiceman - Gingerbread Man


4. Lloyd Banks ft Juelz Santana - Beamer, Benz, or Bentley


5. T.I. - I'm Back

Line Art by Elias Chatzoudis

This right here is just pretty awesome. With my new computer coming somewhere in the horizon I wish to do this kind of line art or be as good. This is Elias Chatzoudis, a Greek graphic artist who is incredibly talented and can make pin up girls, figures, and very awesomely detailed bodies. Check out this one video out of his many showing a time lapsed look at how he does what he does. Notice he draws them first, scans the pictures then used illustrator to create the lines. Photoshop comes in afterwards to be able to add the colors and gradients to the image. Very nice indeed! Check out his you tube page as well:

Swedish House Mafia

Check out this track featuring Pharrell called "One". I've also got an instrumental I'm linking up with since they are pretty much up for anyone to give it a listen.

This is the intrumental track:

Dance The Way I FEEL!

So I was watching this DJ show on uStream tonight all the way from UK, and he had some interesting tracks. This one is from Ou Est Le Swimming Pool entitled Dance the way I feel. It has an awesome potential to be a Hip Hop track. I would jump on the chance to remix it if I had the right tool. Anyway check it out and big thanks to DJ Nigel via uStream for his great music selection

PS one of the band members loos like Bam Margera or is it just me? You'll know who it is once you see it, LMAO!!

LIL JON IS BACK!
