Get this guy an MBE

This clip came about while I was on Fat Lace Magazine's site, in a feature about what emcees do when not rapping called 'Rappers are in Day Jobz' (for those that don't know its a play on the classic KRS ONE track title named "Rappaz R.N. Dainja".
Here Skinnyman describes how he's in a win-win situation when it comes to him dealing with the distribution of illicit substances. Now I ain't a socialist or a communist, or one hoping to bring the system down to their knees (I realized a couple of years back that constantly aiming to do this will only slow me down on my quest for riches)
but I do like Skinny's FUCK YOU mentality to the forces that be, and decided that this had to be broadcast.



Rumours of day jobs amongst other rappers named are:
Kyza - Parking Attendant in Soho
Bashy - Bus Driver in North Weezy (NW London)
Black the Ripper - Sainsburys
Pyrelli - Clarks

Any more half decent suggestions, feel free to leave a comment below.

On the music tip, apparently Skinnyman is hoping to release his sophomore LP (or something along those lines) named 'Council Estate of Grime' after the success of 'Smokin ban'.

Nas backs down over controversial album title

With all the hype surrounding possibly the most controversial album title in Hip Hop since Ice-T's 'Cop Killa', Nasir Jones has U-Turned on naming his upcoming album 'Nigger' and instead settled for a much more sober decision by naming it 'Nas'. Isn't that his name I hear you ask? Something that artists do on their 1st album? Yes. Yes it is.

It's not as though the label had a problem with the shocking title, as Island Def Jam Music Chair, L.A. Reid, even went so far as to say "Anything Nas wants to do, I completely stand beside him." However, like Ghostface took the Killah 0ff his name in order to be sold in Wal-Mart and the like, Nas has renamed his album for commercial reasons.

Civil rights advocate Rev. Al Sharpton believes the title change is a victory in the fight against record label indecency.

"This proves that record companies and distributors realize that the community will not allow companies to profit from denigrating us and polluting the minds of our youth,” Sharpton said via press statement

"Everybody is trying to stop the title," Nas stated. "Record stores are gonna have a problem in this day and time selling a record with that title. Who knows what's gonna turn out and be on that title? Who knows what that title will be?"
For those of you who have been logging on to BlatantlyBlunt for a little while now you'll remember my previous feature on this album.

As a preview to the new album this is the latest Nas material to be leaked on to the net:

New Track:

Nas - Nigger, the slave and the master

New Video - Sincere - Once Upon A Time Feat. Natty

The massive new single from North London legend Sincere featuring man of the moment Natty; who's currently tearing up the reggae-soul scene. Perhaps this late June release will be Sincere's big break after years on grind?? I'd like to see it happen, as it emcees like this that rep the UK Hip Hop scene.

"Which likkle fassy said I aint got lyrics? I got bars, they got gimmiks"

If it's the last thing you listen to today check this new track from Frisco entitled Ignorant. Right now he's probably the sickest in the grime scene. In this track he responds to Ghetts' lyrical jabs to him and the BBK camp, and shows that no one can accuse him of one line flows or gimmicky rap.

Frisco - Ignorant


In this video, Big Fris represents North London to the fullest, filming his own take on Ruff Sqwad's classic, 'Extra'. Filmed partly outside Alexandra Palace (a local hang out of mine on those summer nights), look out for fellow Alwayz Recording label mate and future star Chipmunk and repeat after me.."I'm from North London where the man dem are sho.. mandem are sho"

Frisco - Sho
