Nigga is the New Black!

Quando Carter G. Woodson si apprestava a organizzare la Negro History Week, mai si sarebbe aspettato che 85 anni dopo, un ventenne dalla pelle bianca ne avrebbe scritto un articolo che sarebbe stato perfino pubblicato sul magazine che fa riferimento a uno dei più famosi esponenti dell’ex Msi. Ebbene sì, i tempi sono cambiati. Dal 1926, la Negro History Week, poi diventata il Black History Month, il mese di Ottobre, rappresenta nei Paesi angloamericani la celebrazione della cultura afroamericana, con la divulgazione delle sue conquiste e dei contributi apportati alla società.

«We could call it just history month, but it’s more than that. It’s about forgotten heroes and stories that we never get told at school. We are taught more about the Battle of Waterloo at school than the relevance of Dr Martin Luther King. We hope this month goes some way to fill in the gaps». Recita il sito della BBC radio 1 xtra, i cui dj dedicano parte del loro palinsesto alla musica black, lanciando candidati ai Black Music Origin Awards, che si sono tenuti a Glasgow il 5 ottobre, la cui peculiarità è che la metà dei candidati non sono manco di colore, per far capire quanto la cultura anglosassone sia intrinsecamente black.

I candidati dei Black Awards, vanno dalla hyper Nicki Minaj alla famosa Beyoncé, dalla cantante funky-dubstep Katy B al grime star Tinie Tempah. Oltre alla new star Jessie J, ai mitici drum step Chase n Status passando per la melodica Adele e finendo col figlio del reggae king, Damian Marley. Anche la bianca (ma non troppo) Italia ha avuto la sua parte, con Alborosie nominato (e vincitore) del Best Reggae act.

Dal 1926 di tempo ne è passato. Da un passato di soprusi e discriminazioni, quella afroamericana è diventata, in assoluto, la cultura più attiva, colorata e carica del mondo occidentale. Un afroamericano che diventa l’uomo più potente (e il presidente piu’ figo) del mondo, i fan di Bob Marley hanno superato in numero quelli di Gesu’ Cristo, le big mamas che vanno sempre più di moda, la musica black che spinge sempre di più.

Borghezio si augura una Padania bianca e cristiana. 

Io vi auguro un buon Black History Month a tutti.

Today I'm gonna talk about Evidence, Italian American rapper from Los Angeles, California.
Born of an Italian father and a Polish-American mother as Michael Perretta on December 10, 1976, Evidence started his career in the late 1980's in the beautiful city of Venice Beach, doing both rap and graffiti.
In the early 90's he teamed up with producer DJ Babu and rapper Rakaa to form the group "Dilated Peoples", which reached great success in the underground circuit by the end of the decade especially after the releases of "Third Degree" and "Work The Angles" (under ABB Records).
Dilated Peoples has so far released 5 albums, within 2000 and 2007.During his work with Dilated Peoples, Evidence became a champion of hip-hop culture. "This is for people who get what I do. If I'm going to come out independently and have the freedom to do what I want, there's no better way to represent. I want to be a leader and carve out a new path." his personal statement.
Apart from "Dilated Peoples" Evidence started his solo career in 2007 with the release of the album "The Weatherman LP" containing productions of The Alchemist, Jake One, DJ Babu, DJ Khalil, and Evidence himself.
The album reached #42 in Billboard Indipendent Albums!
Four years have passed since then, and Evidence has decided to release a new album... with a new label, the famous Minneapolis based "Rhymesayers".

The album I'm talking about is "Cats & Dogs" released two days ago, September 27th.
Available on iTunes in both normal and Deluxe edition, the album contains 19 tracks (17 in the normal edition) produced by The Alchemist, Twiz the Beat Pro, Evidence, Rahki, Sid Roams, DJ Babu, Statik Selektah, Charli Brown, and historical New York hip hop producer DJ Premier.
The peculiarity of the album is the reality of the arguments described, that fuse easily with the different beats, giving the whole concept an underground taste but with a mainstream sound clash.
Numerous artists feature the tracks starting with Aloe Blacc ("I Need a Dollar) in the first track, and then continuing with Raekwon, Ras Kass, Roc Marciano, Prodigy, Slug, Aesop Rock, Rakaa, Lil' Fame, Termanology, and Fashawn.
My personal advice is to buy this album, and to listen it carefully, you won't ever get tired of it!
The first single extracted is "You" produced by DJ Premier.

What are you waiting for?

PlaySnack it!

Lo capisci l'italiano?!

Ladies and gentleman, stay ready.
Hip hop heads, clean up your earphones because "Lo Capisci L'italiano?! Rap Controcultura?!", the new mixtape of Dj Double S hosted by Fabri Fibra is about to come out on October 1st!

Selected by DJ Double S and Fabri Fibra, Italy's number 1 MC and top charts artist, this album includes unpublished rhymes by Italian MCs such as Entics (which recently released his debut album "Soundboy" under Sony BMG and produced by Fabri Fibra's label "Tempi Duri Records"), Ensi, Kiave, Maury B, and Fabri Fibra himself.
The mixtape will be entirely released in digital free download on www.tempidurirecords.it for Big Picture Mngmt/Tempi Duri Records.
The mixtape is not a novelty for DJ Double S, in fact the DJ is at his fourth official release, counting the records published in 1997, 1999, and 2000.
Each chapter, always titled "Lo capisci l'italiano?!" and recorded on cassette, reached a huge success in the Italian Hip Hop scene, receiving acclamation by both Underground and Mainstream artists, and pushing the artist to re-release chapters 2 and 3 on CD formats.
But let's see a little more in depth who is DJ Double S.
Coming from Turin but of Southern Italian extraction, Double S has been working on a 20 years carreer. Starting djing at a young age, he has shared stages all around Italy with the best MCs of the peninsula, always bringing up and developing his passion for vinyls. Most important skills for a DJ are: technic, music knowledge, style, and talent.
We can easily say that he has all 4 of them!
Just back from Fabri Fibra's "Controcultura Tour" which touched all the most important cities in Italy, the DJ decided to gives his fans, but not only them, a personal gift that combines his passion for Hip hop and music in general.
"Rap as a way to have fun, to let off steam, to send messages, to denounce, to counterculture" his words on the upcoming mixtape!

Here we post four teasers for the promotion of the mixtape... so what are you waiting for??!! PlaySnack 'em!

We're new here

"Gil" Scott-Heron (April 1, 1949 – May 27, 2011) was an American poet, musician (Blues and Jazz) and author known primarily for his work as a spoken word performer in the 1970s and '80s. His very acclamed poetic style has been influential upon every generation of hip hop since his popularity began. One of his most famous composition is “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised”, a sort of a hymn which had a massive impact on Black culture during the years and was generally defined as one of the best Political Songs. Just before dying Gil Scott Heron had relased an album after 16 years of silence titled “I’m new here”.

Jamie Smith a.k.a. Jamie XX is an English producer, percussionist and a former member of the XX, London-Based indie pop band that won with their first album the noticeable Barclaycard Mercury Prize.
“We’re new here” is the remix album of Gil Scott-Heron’s last album “I’m new here”.


Produced by Jamie XX and relased on 21st of February 2011 this record can be considered an experiment and a sort of a tribute by a big fan to a great Master of the music. The peculiar feature of this project is how you can hear the producer deconstructing and then reconstructing the tracks in a new way skipping in different subgenres .


My advice is to listen both to the original album and the remix one, you can taste the subtle difference between an analogical and a digital way of create a song.






Here's the video of "I'll take care of you", come on, PlaySnack it!!!

New Background and Drake's upcoming album!

Hello everyone!

Thank you for joining PlaySnack!. This is our third post since yesterday and we'd like to start a new day with a new background! I chose to use DJ Mehdi's album "Lucky Boy". For those who don't know, DJ Mehdi passed away last Tuesday, the 13th. I thought this was a good way for remembering him.
Rest in peace, friend. Going back to us, I would like to talk about the upcoming album by Canadian rapper and singer Drake.

Drake

"Take Care" is the upcoming second studio album by the artist, scheduled for release through Young Money Entertainment and Cash Money Records on his 25th birthday, October 24, 2011. Drake's first album "Thank Me Later" was a big success in United States, selling around 1.5 millions copies. Also the album received many positive critics by the most famous magazines and music websites in the world, results that gave Drake a good visibility among the hip hop scene. In fact he recently featured with many American rappers's works in particular with top selling artist Nicki Minaj on her last album. In Drake's new record many producers will be present such as Noah "40" Shebib (who is also the main producer of the album), 9th Wonder, T-Minus, Jamie Smith from The xx, The Neptunes, and maybe Q-Tip (it is still unclear whether whether his tracks will be present). About the artists that will feature Drake in "Take Care" we will surely hear Phonte, T-Pain, Florence and the Machine, 8Ball & MJG, Soulja Boy, Stevie Wonder, Cher, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, The Weekend, Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, and Bruno Mars.

Though the album appears very promising, it is still unclear whether it will reply the success of Drake's debut record. We will just have to wait!Meanwhile PlaySnack! the first official single extracted: "Headlines".

Stay tuned.

Why I chose the Queen as the background..

You might ask yourselves why is there the Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" single's cover as the background of PlaySnack!
The reason why I chose it is that there is NO REASON!
Everyday, I will be changing the background, uploading a different album/single/LP/EP cover.
And the coolest thing is that you can choose what cover you would like to be uploaded!
Just post your suggestion for the cover by posting on the blog, and your choice will be awarded!


This is PlaySnack! Music for everyone, music to eat, music that knows no boundaries. Free Music!
Screw the limits.
Enjoy this trip.
