Oh so we have a rap dancing party this Saturday. Some of Sydney’s greatest rap music connoisseurs come together for a night dedicated to your old and new favourite hip hop party jams.
To get you in the mood DJs, Nacho Pop, Adit of Horrorshow, Shantan Wantan Ichiban and Mike Who give you a little taste of what you will hear on the night!
Shantan Wantan Ichiban
Ol Dirty Bastard – Shimmy Shimmy Ya
Ol’ Dirt Dog McGirt a.k.a Ason Unique a.k.a. Big Baby Jesus a.k.a. Your No Child Support Paying Good For Nuttin’ Baby’s Daddy.
Wild and erratic, on and off the microphone, he taught rappers how to get loose again. Known for picking up his welfare check in a limousine, getting arrested stealing $50 shoes when he had $500 on him, having 13 kids and not paying child support and messing up award shows way before Kanye West.
This song is the anthem. Disco era Dirt McGirt looking amazing in this video. And it is also my hip hop karaoke song.
Kanye West – I Am A God ft God
The pinnacle of boss shit. This song is full of quotables. Haters fall back. You don’t see the humour in his megalomania.
“I am a God. Hurry up with my damn massage. Hurry up with my damn menage.”
Can’t argue with you there, Ye. This is a sentence that us mere mortals will never utter and be taken seriously. While your girl has another headache, Kanye, like Zeus, is throwing sperm like thunderbolts, using his godly powers to get in the knickers of several Aphrodites.
“I just talked to Jesus. He said ‘what up Yeezus'”.
The best line in hip hop since ever.
The Fugees – Fu-Gee-La
Just some classic Fugees. Big Lauryn Hill love.
Nacho Pop
Busta Rhymes – Twerk it
Girls love this. I love watching them tie their hair up and make a gas face when the into drops. Also I got the banging Ta-ku remix that I drop in the middle to make the heads mad.
Ace Hood – Bugatti Remix ft Everybody
This one is such a hype tune I can’t stop playing it. I imagine my sarge kicking me off the case and telling me to turn in my badge and gun and this is my reaction.
Mike Who
Flexx feat AMG & Dj Quik- Break Bread
Slept on west coast staple, Flexx and AMG come correct over a chunky fatback bassline courtesy of Quik on the boards. The video clip is funny as hell with big perm dopelganger getting rejected left, right and centre. It’s at a pool party with plenty of late 90’s honeys. What else do you need? Only bummer is the clip has the stupid censors derrrpp.
Action Bronson- Strictly 4 My Jeepz
Bronsolini club banger that has already got a whole heap of love, another future classic clip by someone who clearly doesn’t take shit too seriously. Queens stand up!
A$AP FergĀ – Work (Remix) (Feat. A$AP Rocky, French Montana, Schoolboy Q & Trinidad Jame$)
Solid ignant rap with an all star cast of new heavy hitters. Does everything it is supposed to and more.
Adit
ASAP Rocky – Get High feat. ASAP Ferg
This song is some fly mixtape shit from early ASAP days. The clip is boss too.
J Cole – Power Trip feat. Miguel
J Cole just dropped his 2nd album Born Sinner, and this single off it sums up why he’s been one of my favourite rappers for a minute. it’s raw, it’s got heart, and it’s epic. Too epic for a dance floor? I don’t think there is such a thing.
