So Manchester United win after be given an unaccountable three minutes of extra time that has Mark Hughes understandably livid and Spurs lose after being dealt the sucker blow of a stone cold penalty not being awarded in their derby with Chelsea. Both of these teams, ‘The Top 4′ are beong chased by teams below them that are begining to match them on the pitch and that is not what the FA/Sky/Champions League want so increasingly all the stops are being pulled out to maintain the status quo which now includes referees bowing to pressure and doing everything they can to make sure the game goes in favour of these four clubs. Extra time, no penalties, no bookings, no fouls in short nothing for any team playing these self proclaimed Big Clubs. – say self proclaimed as Chelsea are a nothing club with no history and have been like this for years until the money poured in and they bought success. There is now a horrible air of curruption to proceedings which has left yours truly scratching his head wondering what the point of it all is. If there is now a built in system whereby any top 4 club wins (fair or unfair) then there is little point in watching the games with the pre-defined outcome. I am going to give it until the end of the season before chucking in the towel to see if things get better. In other news some stunning Ebay action with Geto Boyz ‘Mind Playing Tricks on me’ on OG Rap-A-Lot for six quid.

August 30th, 2009
So, predictably, here we are at the final melting down of the Bahrain office. Something remarkable needs to happen to keep this thing going. Firstly it’s Ramadan here. What’s Ramadan like? Well it’s not a grim as I had initially feared. Firstly and most importantly, the working hours are reduced as the locals are now zoned out thanks to their starvation. We work six hour days which is awesome as you can go home early. The streets are empty in the day and everything is chilled out. Of course you cannot eat, drink, smoke or chew gum but it’s not too arduous. Local staff are not exactly full of energy at the best of times so watching them slow down even further is not exactly a jolt. Besides, what is there to do? Zero. That’s what. As I posted last week we need new projects and we need them now. We are not getting them and we won’t get anything of any substance until next year I am guessing. The situation is as serious as cancer.

Kool G Rap
August 30th, 2009There’s been a bit of a Kool G Rap renaissance in my house recently. A quick breeeze through Discogs has one amazed at how cheap and rare his early output was with DJ Polo. Make no mistake, if we are talking about Golden Age MC’s then look no further than the Kool Genius of Rap. Recently I heard on that internet a demo version of Big Daddy Kane’s Raw with Kool G Rap keeping up with Kane on this seminal track. If anyone can keep pace with Kane in his prime you know this brother has the skills. Make no mistake, these jams upped the game with each release and this was not money but the simple fact that each MC wanted to put out better product than the next. G Rap is up there with Rakim, KRS One and Kane no question but he really never had a classic jam like these guys and somehow never appealed to the white media. Not sure why but the simple fact is that nobody could fuck with G Rap. Pure cinema in each track. So, I splurged on some of his classic shit which was mucho cheapo I was amazed to find. Anyway,I’ll speak on G Rap another but let me leave you with this stroke of mid 90′s class that was on his overlooked first solo LP. Now tell me this is not the shit.
