I got a copy of a Brennan Green mixtape from a friend a while back and there was one tune on it that really stuck in my head. It had all these girls chanting in Italian over a minimal, tribal sounding beat. I really needed it so i phoned up my geeky dj friend and played it down the phone to him. He told me it was 3rd Face - Canto Della Liberta, released on a limited run in Italy but was being reissued on Classic. I went out and bought it, played it and then found out it was actually a sample from an Italian opera and was from 1974. here is the original version.
Roberto de Simone - Secondo Coro Delle Lavandaie
I don't know how many folk follow the grime scene anymore, i was kinda shocked to read about Crazy Titch. He shot dead a grime producer in London (as he was running away from him) and has been sent down for 30 years. I found out about this just after i had read about his beef with Dizzee Rascal.
Here's his diss track against Dizzee
Crazy Titch - Jus An Arsehole

to prove to most people that HipHop is dead i've posted a link that might hopefully shed some light on the matter. There is so much hiphop out there, right now somewhere someone's recording what's gonna be the next big hit. But, honestly, that's all it's gon be. The next big hit and after that we'll just get another hit till the hits run out or they start using hiphop cds to light they fire places kinda like what happened with disco records back in the day. In 2006 only one rap artist managed to sell a million copies plus (he ain't great in my opinion so plse no beefing i know how these hiphop heads are like) whereas in previous yeah a bunch of rappers hit that 1,000,000 mark. doesn't that tell you something? Remember 10-15+yrs ago(depending on how old u r) when u heard your first rap record, i wanna feel that way when i spin contemporary shit. I could go on for hours but first check out the link and get back to me.
