Hip Hop 4 Dummeez - Presented by the Grafenberg All-Stars - The Hub, Newtown - 09/03/06

"White Power! White Power!" and the man in the wheelchair cranks up the motor to run down a few people crossing the intersection of Enmore and King Streets in Newtown. Leaking black metal music from the stereo underneath his seat, leather and a flat mohawk is all that this man is.

Waving out to the lingering crowd, the burly doorman of The Hub motions for the filling of seats. Smooth floors provide a sliding access. The coarseness within those same panels cause for jittery moves. Dank and wide open, the expanse of the interior of The Hub shows signs of continual upkeep, woodwork still rough and undone.

Roots Manuva - Run Come Save Me

Excluding the first track which is a mostly-instrumental reverse-reprise of the last track and a tiny 22-second interlude Run Come Save Me is still pretty short for an album that spans fifteen tracks. Coming and going in 55-odd minutes it never outstays its welcome, which is something of a relief because, talented as Roots Manuva may be, it is often difficult and rare for a single MC to keep a listener interested for too long.

The single is obviously “Witness (1 Hope),” and rightly so as this song is an absolute monster with a beat that’s built for nodding.

Viktor Vaughn - Vaudeville Villain

Viktor Vaughn is MF Doom - MF Doom is Viktor Vaughn

I shot some savage craps when I bought this CD, and I guess I did pretty well; Vaudeville Villain probably isn't the classic that people are making it out to be, but it's probably one of the best hip hop CDs to have been released in 2003.

I Phantom

I like hip hop. I hate skits.

Lord, do I hate skits. There is nothing worse than the flow of the album being interrupted by a pointless, moronic skit.
