Any UKer's Read Hip-Hop Connection??

[Sharp Shooter]

Just wondering what you think of the GREAT 35 minute 'The Beats' Record Label (Owned by Mike Skinner, artists like The Mitchell Brothers) Mixtape.

Personally I think it was worth the £3.25 alone with great remixes and about 4 or 5 tracks from the new Mitchell Bros album.

Just givin my UK bredrin a heads up to go out and get it!!

[Lethal Bizzle]

Yup.. I picked it up when it came out a about a fortnight ago :P

I psoted the CD a while back too - it's in the download section if anyone wants it.

HHC is decent. Don't like some of the people that work for it and their reviews are bullsh*t. Plus they seem to just be sleeping on a LOT of UK hip hop atm but its whatever... I'm still coppin it

[Sharp Shooter]

I think its better than the Source.

I wouldnt of said that two months ago but since Kim Osario left as editor its gone down the drain..

And the reason I havent copped it till now is they only stock it in ONE store, the HMV in Speke which is a good drive from Widnes where I live so I only get it when im up there.

The Def Jux cd 2 months ago was illllllll aswell.

EDIT : Hey buddy, since we both UKer's hows about u gimme some props. I've been workin like a mufu*ka to try and get some. lol.

[Lethal Bizzle]

lol

The Source has been sh*t for at least the past 3 years... Complete breeze in that mag mate...

[KillaKadafi]

Anything is better then The Source lol

[Sharp Shooter]

well. i dunno if you've been coppin it, but its been even worse the last few months.


i might cop it this month tho cause its the swimsuit edition :p


EDIT : Hey Skip, do u get this mag in Aus??? If not (I dont think u do) I suggest u go d/l the mixtape for some UK 'Tea and Crumpets, wearing Harvey Nicks' style rapping.

[Lethal Bizzle]

Yeh its definately available for all the poms out there. Expensive as hell but I know someone in Aus who cops...

[Sharp Shooter]

Well its about time Kadafi paid for somethin.

I remember u braggin to me about gettin 'Death Certificate' for about £2, well I paid £5 for it today in HMV

U damn kangeroo boxing, taping people getting beat up (oh yes, ive seen the tapes) freak :p

LOL, the Cube album was Wooooorth it tho.

[Bunce]

i get it except for the one with eminem on the fron. If u look at the back issues hes on the cover 4-5 times out of issues 100-120 or w/e.

LMAO!!!

You know how many people i know that's had problems with HHC over the years?!? lol... They always been doing stuff like that. I been reading (or should i say skimming!) that mag since 1995, and really not much has changed.

The album reviews are still subjective, biased and point-blank B.S! One thing i never used to like is the way the would mock teh whole tough-guy image portrayed by rappers back in teh day and talk about them getting mushie peas and sh!t in a chippie in Exeter...lol... sh!t like that , nahmean?

After all of that, i still buy it ocassionally :lol: but really it's for the interviews and such... it was decent last year when they had Chuck D, J-Zone & Greenpeace writting for them (I think they stll got Dan, not sure)... anyway, mag is ok in parts, but a shambles in others...

haha.. yeah, Undercover is a lot better... I been reading that since issue #1... they seem more "true" to the culture if you ask me. Plus it's not all just Hip Hop... but a lot of other music genres... plus who else would be that brave to put Quasimoto on your front cover?!? lol.

Plus, you can't beat a good C.D wit a few exclusives!

[Sharp Shooter]

That sh*t was funny tho lol

Well I got it for £5 so w/e


So where can I buy Undercover cause i aint seen it in stores

[Berserk]

WH Smith have started stocking Undercover

The magazine rack in Virgin megastore on oxford street has pretty much every magazine you want

Or go to your nearest Borders... they specialise in magazines which are ither imported or don't have that large of a distribution.
