Not surprisingly, between having my not exactly stellar memory jogged by everyone’s suggestions in the comments and taking a quick glance through my own archives, I have some important additions to the original line-up. Blog Rap Your YouTube freestyle has 50,000 views, but nobody in the real world knows who you are? You’re a Blog…

The Unkut Guide To Rap Genres
There are so many different types of rap today that almost anybody’s taste can be catered to. But how do you keep up with them all? Let’s take a quick look at some of the important rap genres that are out there right now… Shout Rap During the mid-80’s, Shout Rap was the move. Run-DMC…
Mobb Deep – Tha World [unreleased, 1996]
Most Mobb Deep fans would generally agree that The Infamous… and Hell On Earth represented Hav and P at the peak of their abilities. As luck would have it, a never-before heard track recorded for the Hell On Earth sessions has made it’s way into my possession, courtesy of the ever-vigilant GT CREW. Mobb Deep…
Video: The 45 King & Queen Latifah 1990 TV Interview
This reminded me of a couple of important points: 1. All Hail The Queen is the greatest chick-rap album ever. 2. Blazers and sports jackets were running shit in 1990. 3. I’ve never heard that 45 King remix of Madonna. 4. TV presenters are retarded. 5. Footage of the original Flavor Unit = priceless.
Marley Marl Shows Off His 1990 Jump-Off
This is pure jokes, folks.
Introducing The Conservative Rap Coalition
Logo designed by Tony Bones / The Home Office. Tired of being labeled as ‘stuck in the 90’s’? Do you find a lot of new rap too emo? Do you have no idea what a Kid Cudi or a Drake is? Then the Conservative Rap Coalition may be for you! Here at the CRC, we…
How Not To Attend An M.O.P. Show
I remember seeing the posters a couple of months ago and bugging out. Mash Out Posse coming through my town? Nah, right? But it they were. As a huge supporter/fan/Stan of the Brownsville crew, I knew this was gonna be a night to remember. Turns out it was, only not exactly the way I’d imagined…
Champagne = Still For Dames
I fucking detest champagne. I don’t care if it’s that $10,000 a bottle type of bubbly, it’s still trash. Sure, it’s a good ice-breaker to impress a piece of skirt at a club, but when it’s time for some classic man-style drinking, it’s not time to be popping bottles. If history has taught us anything,…
‘Before I Self Destruct’ Movie Review
^ This dame is the only thing you’ll remember from this film. What do you do when you’re a bored millionaire who isn’t selling records like you used to and has to resort to cheap stunts to keep his name in the news? You make another shitty movie, that’s what. Unlike 8 Mile Part 2…
Kool G Mims?!
So I’m throwing out the usual promotional bullshit emails that clutter the old Unkut inbox and I notice something that almost makes me spit my Oranjeboom all over the keyboard: Artist “Kool G Mims” is looking for interviews, write-ups, bookings, etc
Hall of Shame
No need to be ashamed anymore, rap fans. It’s time to admit to yourselves (and the rest of the world) that you might have bought some bad hip-hop records at some stage in your life, and maybe…just maybe…you kinda liked some of them. Obviously you can’t admit that kind of shit to your friends and…
Rakim – The Seventh Seal Album Review
Rakim has had some tough breaks over his career in the music business – having dealt with bad record contracts, a DJ of questionable ability and some misguided A&R people on his two previous solo projects, some of which he addresses on ‘Won’t Be Long’ – but this time around he’s taken his destiny into…
