^ 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…
Hard White – The New NWA?
Far Rockaway, Queens doesn’t have the most distinguished rap legacy so far, unless you consider Father MC to be one of the best ever. Turns out that there’s a crew out there called Hard White who are dropping some seriously anti-social, ignorant rap shit – just the way we like it here at Unkut Dot…

Where’d The Rap Records Go?
So it’s that time of year again, when I try to remember all the albums that I listened to more than once and didn’t hate so that I can order them on vinyl…thing is, this year it seems like no one bothered to actually release anything on 33 1/3. As you’d expect, Year Round supported…
Lyrics Vs. Character
It’s time to admit the awful truth – I wasted many years of my life as a lyrics nerd. From constantly rewinding ‘Prsioners of War’ to attempting to memorize Percee-P‘s ‘Lung Collapsing Lyrics’ and even listening to Soul On Ice multiple times. Sure, I appreciated the genius of Willie D‘s Shout Rap and enjoyed NWA…

I caught-up with them recently yo discuss…
