Hip-Hop Hipsters and their mixtapes


The best hip-hop right now is coming from the unsigned and underground. No question. That's right 50 cent, your album sucks. Upon my return from some epic surfing in Tofino I came across these tracks to add to my November playlist. Chiddy Bang, who have been mentioned before on BTA, have recently released their mixtape The Swelly Express. Available in it's entirety on their myspace. I think one of the guys left the group...I'm not really sure. Let's just say he did and you can correct me. Xaphoon Jones kills it with the beats he forms from the likes of MGMT, Passion Pit, and now this one from Sufjan Stevens. These are not mash-ups for the most part. Xaphoon really takes the song and makes it his own.

Next is Wiz Khalifa, a new name for myself at least, only hearing about him recently. His mixtape, Burn After Rolling has a pretty good track with him rhyming over Empire of the Sun. The rest of it is.. so-so. I mean what's with the DJ drops man? You know I hate those. And probably could have done without the shout outs to your twitter followers. I think I am just really liking how the new face of hip-hop is showing that they are definatley aware of what's going on in the other realms of music and harnessing it.

I love that this game has a variety of players; if you go to the lower
coins tournaments, you could encounter beginner players.

I tend not to drop a leave a response, but I browsed a few of the comments on "Hip-Hop Hipsters and their mixtapes".
I do have 2 questions for you if you tend not to mind.
Is it just me or do some of these responses appear as if they are left by brain dead
visitors? :-P And, if you are writing at additional social sites,
I'd like to keep up with anything new you have to post.
Could you list of every one of all your shared pages like your twitter feed, Facebook
page or linkedin profile?
