Dubstep Roundup Vol. 24 – 10.19.2011 [Silver Medallion, Calvin Harris, Feed Me, Britney Spears and more...]

Its always a special occasion when we drop a sick-nasty-wobbly-wobblefest on our TBE peeps.  Super-obvi today will be no exception.  Rest assured, your worldwide dub dealer has got your fix…  So, get that change of cloths and that extra pair of undies ready.  The BASS is back.

I figured this picture fit in nicely with Halloween steadily approaching.  Just don’t stare too long.  Side note: I like my bass swollen, not my women.

[QUICKIE] Jay-Z & Kanye West – WATCH THE THRONE

i pledge allegiance, uh, to my grandma, for that banana pudding, our piece of americana 

The boring “Otis” song/video made hopes low but jams like “Ni**as in Paris” & super ballad “Made in America” bring heat. I’m down. 6/10

[Quickies are mini-reviews that can fit into a 140 character tweet. They are of albums that people already know of but perhaps are curious about our take on it. What did you think of the disc?]

[MP3] J. Cole – “Mr. Nice Watch” ft. Jay-Z

if we ever go broke girl then time is all we got

♫ J. Cole – Mr. Nice Watch ft Jay-Z (Clean)

J. Cole impressed me last year with his tight rhymes and beats but subsequent tracks seemed to lack fire. Then this track landed in my skull. Aaaaand now the hype makes sense again. That stutter beat comes straight from the future to hovercraft Cole’s versus straight to infectiousville. The Jay-Z verse is nothing but a side dish here, adding … continue reading

[LP] Hugo – OLD TYME RELIGION (w/ “Old Tyme Religion” & “99 Problems”)

a little taste of the forbidden so sweet it made me deaf and blind

♫ Hugo – Old Tyme Religion

You all remember Hugo from his twangy “99 Problems” cover and his solid original jam “Bread & Butter.” Well he finally dropped his debut LP on Jay-Z’s label and if that sounds odd then you haven’t heard the thing yet. Hugo is distictly soulful and folksy but with a bit of grit in the mix, the title track of the album … continue reading
