Little Update Ting

I've looked through my blog and come to the decision that there could possibly be too much bashment on here. I've decided to dedicate this post to some other stuff that has caught my ear/eye recently.

Hold tight Giggs finally getting his own club banger to his name. Track 9 aka Talking The Hardest was a freestyle in 07, dunned dances in 08, still knocks bloody hard. Look What The Cat Dragged in gets numerous wheels. Giggs' ability to jockey a beat leads me to believe he is the ONLY rapper that can handle a dancehall riddim. Giggs better know (female) arse is better than breast.



On a related note, Shadrack and the Mandem have built up a serious rep on the underground and Internet through their videos depicting life on the roadside. The video boasts appearances from street heavyweights Pecknarm rapper Giggs and Jaja Soze from PDC. Beat bangs, video's hard, lyrics heartfelt. Say nada



Yup, it's that time again where I blog about Ed Sheeran. Said it in the last post about him, get familiar with the name and voice 'cause you'll be seeing a lot of him around this blogside. I'll never forget the day I first heard this song on his EP. Instant repeat. In fact, I don't remember hearing the second song off the EP until the second time I listened to the CD, because I'd reached home by the time I'd heard 'The A Team' over 10 times, no hype. Some real emotional soul music right here.



I haven't done an opinionated piece recently. Main thing consuming my brain is politics, and I won't be entering that on here. LONG TING! I'm gonna do one this week. Find I usually tweet my good ideas then forget to blog. Follow me @MarvinSparks. I'm gonna upload some interviews I did, but never posted here in the next few days.

Marvin Sparks x Raekwon interview

Wu-Tang's in-house "Chef" better known as Raekwon proved he is still a force to be mentioned alongside the hottest rappers in the hip hop game with the release of Only Built For Cuban Linx... pt. II - sequel to his 1995 debut album. Marvin Sparks caught up with the hip hop legend to discuss rapping for drug dealers, people caring "more about stats than raps", his inclusion in MTV's Top 10 Hottest Rappers list, and converting to Islam. Marvin Sparks: It has been almost fifteen years since the first Only Built For Cuban Linx, an album that was a 5-mic classic when The Source magazine held weight. Why did you decide make a sequel?

Why Cheetah Woods, whhyyyy?!?!?!

We must all know about the predator nyamin woman (no bowcat reference intended - or am I lying? *shudders*). Anyone heard the voicemail he left for the girl he's been PARrin (there was a golf reference there) his wife with? Easy now my selekta as we rinse some tunes for di one name Tiger. Man like him doesn't know how to play. (By The Endz not Ruff Sqwad) How you gonna leave a voicemail for a girl with your real name at the beginning? Do you want to be held to ransom? Man from 'the ends' know (in the words of Kano) "That's slippin'!" And when isht hits the fan (like it has) he's buggered. Not something I deal in but surely the point of cheating is for an assortment of ladies. All his ones look the same; blonde, no breast nor batty.

Remember When Riddims Were King

Before you read, thank you for your interest and hope you enjoy. I actually fleshed it out into a book. You can get your copy from www.nolongstories.com   Now for what you came here for... When Riddims Were King 23rd May 2020 will be remembered in history for one of the most epic events in one of our universe's darkest times. We will never forget the night dancehall kings and former extremely heated rivals, Beenie Man and Bounty Killer, battled on the Verzuz platform built by hall-of-fame producers, Timbaland and Swizz Beatz. An unfiltered, 360-degree view on Jamaican dancehall events was showcased; DJ’s and dancing (Beenie Man’s daughter Desha Ravers) to deejay’s clashing on the same riddims. The latter elements provided the jewels in the night’s highlight reel, and undoubtedly the best thing to happen on the Verzuz series. Word spread like guava jelly within the dancehall community and Jamaican diaspora upon announcement. Not only was it a clash between the longest and fier
