Dizzee Rascal‘s Tongue N’ Cheek will be droppin on September 21th, Holiday just started ruinin rulin airwaves. I talked to him at Splash festival to record an interview for Hiphop.de.

I know artists dont like genres nowadays because everybody is so much of an individual he surely cant be compared to anyone else doing music. And I know Dizzee doesnt like being asked about grime. But another thing I do know is it still interests me. So we talked about grime, collaborating with Armand Van Helden (he asked Dizzee so he did it..), UKs electronic music scene and whatnot.

Heard Dizzee doesnt like interviews neither what makes it kinda hard talkin to him in front of a camera, but it still worked out fine. I did like 20 interviews with a bad hang over but it was a dope weekend. So if you ready for some heavy german accent clashing cockney, here we go.

Why cant I turn on the computer without reading about Calvin Harris anymore? May be because he’s got a subscription on high chart entries. Just like Dizzee Rascal has. After Calvin Harris did “Dance Wiv Me” for Dizzee Rascal, he hooked him up with the next straight to number one single. “Holiday”. Dizzee went to the UK top from zero for the third time in a row with this one (listen below).

I liked Bonkers better. Its a thin line between pop and pop. Would this be the time for another “why didnt urban dance get brought to the charts by new cats before the mainstream exploits it” rant? Probably. Holidays suck, schakker hart (thats “work hard” for you 1st world citizens).

Still, Dizzee comes to Germany and I might wanna check him out again. So let me note the tour dates.

11.11. Frankfurt – Batschkapp
12.11. Münster – Skater’s Palace
13.11. Hamburg – Uebel & Gefährlich
14.11. Berlin – Astra
17.11. Köln – Stollwerck
18.11. München – Backstage
19.11. Stuttgart – Zapata

In related news, the attempted murder of the vocal effect called “Auto Tune” failed miserably. Sean “Jay-Z” Carter, you loose. Although I would say Jay-Zs “back to the basics, fuck rappers who put melodys in their raps and everything the South brought to the game” is a classic case of “aus der Not eine Tugend machen” (somebody translate that), it was a nice try. So sad it failed.

British singer/ band (this is like a Mike Skinner/ The Streets type of confusing thing) Mr Hudson has his album Straight No Chaser co-produced by Kanye West. Auto Tune in the first single wasnt surprising since Mr “biggest star in the universe” West needs his walking frame for his ambitions as a Hipster-ish pop singer. Mr. Hudson wouldnt and being Kanye’s protege aint doing bad neither. The album appears on Kanyes G.O.O.D. Music and 1st single Supernova topped the charts right ahead.

U.S Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles 12

DOA, huh? Jiggas personal Bay of Pigs aside, talk of the town Calvin Harris made Mr.Hudsons well produced electronic alternative RnB 80ies pop bounceable. The synths make you throw up your hands like its Sensation White again. Or some big ass commercial house event.

Straight No Chaser is out in october.

Ah yeah: the joke about all of this is that Mr.Hudsons song tops Dizzee’s. Mainly due to the fact that Calvin’s remix for Hudson is better than the beat he gave Dizzee’s single. Still strange. Once you start doing pop your battle skills won’t get you far, Mcee.

Terry Lynn is back with a five track EP! A Jamaican beer producer hired her and Johan Hugo of Radioclit.  “It was written” is the outcome. They tell us to„Drink and Dance Carefully“! The hint comes a little late for me but i’ll take it into account for this release at least.

This is no Kingstonlogic right here, but some good new music between raggae and Electro. Not too far from what Terry did with her executive phred on her debut, Kingstonlogic 2.0.

I uploaded the title track for you to get an impression.

Majesty, MSTRKRFT, Marteria,….

Sounds like a list of Schakkerhart.com blog posts? Yea. Not bad for a bunch of backpackers on a pasture. I want my early adopter fee for this bullshit trend.

its always funny that dizzee talks as crazy as he raps^^ other than that, he just commented on barack obama being voted. bottom line: thats because he embraced hiphop. im not sure if obama really did that (embrace hiphop), i guess he treated the support from rappers like his skin colour: it will be there anyhow, so ignore it before it gets too much fo the john does. he’s “young”, black and funkycool, famous support is just naturally comming along with that. dizzee seems a little nervous, still he gots the punches on his side: “do you believe in britain partys? – yea, i do. they existin…”
