Not really sure if it was a good show, it sounded so from the audience, as I'm not really into rap, my attention was else were during the show, mostly stuck in the fire, the beats of the drums vs fire :) The Mines and Gerbs was looking nice.

Eminem - Walk On Water

Thursday, it's my daughters birthday, she is starting to get old now, time flys fast. She had a few request, clothes, make ups, thai food and Eminem :) Well I guess as a good father and together with her mom we needed to try to do our best to grant her requests. To not brag to much, But I am a very proud parent of this gorgeous child, a kid that really stands up for the family, help out when needed, you know walk the dog, take care of her little sister and once in awhile even the dishes :)

So for today play a tune for her, by request.

"Walk on Water" is a song by American rapper Eminem, released on November 10, 2017. It was released as the lead single from Eminem's ninth solo studio album "Revival" (2017). The song, produced by Rick Rubin and Skylar Grey, features vocals from American singer Beyoncé.

The song started as a hook written by Skylar Grey, who also wrote Eminem's 2010 hit single "Love the Way You Lie". Eminem came across the hook when he was working with Rick Rubin and became enamored of the lyrics. Previously Rubin and Eminem had been discussing the phenomenon of mumble rap, specifically Eminem's frustration with its mainstream popularity, and the hook served as a vehicle for him to vent them. Rubin subsequently played the song for Jay-Z, who was then able to get his wife, Beyoncé, to sing the chorus. Upon the release of the single, Grey tweeted, "This is the song I've been trying to write since age 6. Every time I wrote a song I hoped it would be this good. I am truly proud of everything I've created, but this is the one."

On December 23, 2017, the music video for the song was released exclusively on Apple Music and Eminem's official Vevo channel. It was directed by American director Richard "Rich" Lee, who previously directed Eminem's videos for "Not Afraid", "Rap God", "The Monster" and "Phenomenal". As of January 29, 2018, the video has over 31 million views and 800.000 likes.

The song was first performed by Eminem at the 2017 MTV Europe Music Awards on November 12 with co-producer and writer Skylar Grey on vocals. Both also performed the song on Saturday Night Live on November 18.

Eminem will soon hit the road, see all the tour dates below.

Happy Birthday kiddo, this one is for you, love you, dad!

Zack De La Rocha - Digging For Windows

Zack De La Rocha released his first solo single "Digging For Windows" in over a decade last year. The single was going to promote his upcoming solo album, it was suppose the be released during 2017, but it's still quiet at the De La Rocha camp, will it ever be released or will it just be dropped any day?

The rapper, known for his work with RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, delivers bleak lines with claustrophobic urgency and stark force: "I stare at a future so toxic/ No trust in the dust of a promise/ Won't mark the name on a ballot/ So they can be free to devour our options." The song is the first off de la Rocha's as-yet-untitled upcoming solo album, which is set for release sometime next year".

El-P produced "Digging For Windows", utilizing a terse, bruising beat and sludgy, battering-ram bassline. Matt Sweeney contributed spindly guitar to the track, while Nick Hook provided "additional keys." De La Rocha and El-P worked together in 2014 on "Close Your Eyes (And Count To Fuck)," which appeared on Run the Jewels 2.

De La Rocha made his latest track available for free download on BitTorrent. "Thanks to the late Manuel Alvarez Bravo for creating the cover art photo," the rapper wrote.

New solo music from De la Rocha has long been rumored. He released the One Day as a Lion EP in 2008 with Jon Theodore. He's mostly stayed quiet since then, occasionally appearing on other artists' records.

"He's been working his ass off here in the last couple of years," former RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE bassist Tim Commerford told Rolling Stone in 2015. "The kid is an amazing musician. He built a studio in his house, and he's there all the time making a One Day as a Lion full album. That's his band, and he's a 'one band' kind of guy."

Today's tune "Digging For Windows" by Zach De La Rocha. Produced by el-p, additional guitar by matt sweeney, additional keys by nick hook, vocal tracking by john debold, mixed by joey raia, mastered by joe laporta.

Prophets of Rage - Unfuck The World

"Unfuck the World" was the first musical statement from PROPHETS OF RAGEs self-titled full-length debut certainly hits its mark. Where all the fury is set on a number of societal ills. The song and video point out more ills than you can count, but the revolution has got to start somewhere and this song is definitely a rally cry moving people to action.

Chuck D. and B-Real trade off vocals, urging a societal revolution against hatred, racism and war while holding our politicians accountable. It’s directed by Michael Moore, and juxtaposes politically-charged footage—like Donald Trump holding that damn orb—with shots of the band performing. Watch it below.

Moore shared this statement about the video in a press release:

“I am thrilled to once again be working with my old friends and comrades in the struggle for a just world. PROPHETS OF RAGE is the right band, saying the right shit, at this very critical moment. This music video is our collective battle cry against those who seek to harm the innocent and the powerless. I am proud to have directed this video and I ask all who see it do their part to unfuck this world. ALL HANDS ON DECK!”

 

PROPHETS OF RAGE is an American rap rock supergroup. Formed in 2016, the group consists of three members of RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE and AUDIOSLAVE (bassist and backing vocalist Tim Commerford, guitarist Tom Morello, and drummer Brad Wilk), two members of PUBLIC ENEMY (DJ Lord and rapper Chuck D), and rapper B-Real of CYPRESS HILL.

Today's tune "Unfuck The World" is taken from the self-titled debut studio album by American rap rock supergroup Prophets of Rage. The album was released on September 15, 2017, by Fantasy Records.

Papa Roach - Periscope (feat. Skylar Grey)

The Vacaville, California rock band PAPA ROACH have a released a new video for the song "Periscope", (see below) the tune which features a guest appearance by Skylar Grey, is taken from the band's ninth studio album, "Crooked Teeth", which was released on May 19 via Eleven Seven Music. The album has received generally positive reviews from critics.

Regarding to blabbermouth did PAPA ROACH vocalist Jacoby Shaddix said:

"'Periscope' is inspired by the realization that sometimes within a relationship you might not be worth being loved or that the other person may not be worth your love, and the struggle within that — how much effort it takes to make things work. One part that I think is really meaningful in the video is when Skylar and I are in the shot at the same time, yet we're not engaging with each other. It represents the 'disconnection' with two people, which is very much what the lyrics describe." Grey added: "You are loving someone from a distance, not able to reach them." 

Regarding how the Grey collaboration came about, Shaddix told the Q103 radio station: "We wanted to have a guest female vocal on "Periscope", and on the last album, we had Maria Brink from IN THIS MOMENT on "Gravity". I didn't wanna just go in and grab another rock chick. I wanted to work with somebody that was outside the box and different but that I was a fan of. So I've been listening to this girl Skylar Grey for a few years now. And she's been on some great tracks — she's been on some Dre stuff, some Eminem stuff, she's been on a FORT MINOR track. But she's kind of this indie, alternative, pop type of girl, and she's just got a lot of credibility in that scene, and she's got a great voice, and I'm a big fan."

The album was written and recorded in a cramped North Hollywood studio, "Crooked Teeth" was produced by first timers Nicholas "RAS" Furlong and Colin Brittain, with the exception of "Born For Greatness", which saw the band collaborate with writer/producer Jason Evigan (Jason Derulo, Demi Lovato, Zedd, MAROON 5) for this positive, pulsating anthem. Furlong and Brittain, who grew up listening to PAPA ROACH, inspired the band to revisit some of the traits that personally endeared the band to them, most notably singer Jacoby Shaddix's remarkable rapping technique and the band's intense live energy.

Enjoy todays tune!

Yelawolf - Till It’s Gone

Now and then I let my kids participate and influence the choice of song or topic, especially days when the brain is overheated or it is empty of ideas. Although these days are few, so it's very exciting to see what kind of choice it can be. The kids knows what Dad listening to, so sometimes they adapt themselves to please their father :) but it kinda rarely nowadays, usually it is when they have something they want, or there is something we did together that is their idea of theme or tune. Today my youngest have been home with fever so I have spent some time with her and I thought that she could choose one. She told me that "Yellowwolf" is good, so we started to look it up and we found a dude called "YELAWOLF" and we played a few tunes with him and the second one that we played she said, this is the one Dad, take this one. So todays tune is choosed by R.

YELAWOLF or Michael Wayne Atha is an American hip hop recording artist from Gadsden, Alabama. He is currently signed to Shady Records (EMINEMs record label), Interscope Records.

YELAWOLF released his debut album "Radioactive" on November 21, 2011. His second album, "Love Story", was released on April 21, 2015. With "Love Story" YELAWOLF is doing his real breakthrough. The album was described by YELAWOLF as a more passionate album than his debut album. The album's recording process took place primarily in Nashville, Tennessee from 2012 to January 2014. Record production was handled by YELAWOLF, EMINEM, MALAY, WLPWR among others.

It was supported by the singles "Box Chevy V", "Till It's Gone", "Whiskey In a Bottle", "American You", and "Best Friend" (featuring EMINEM).

 
Todays tune "Till It's Gone" is the second single of the album Love Story, it was released on September 16, 2014 & the music video premiered October 14, 2014, enjoy!

Clawfinger - Biggest & The Best

Today Im going to break some thingies here :)
We usually do classics on sundays but I saw a video on a friends FB, and I really loved it.

This is a Swedish rap/metal, kinda industry metal music, that I really like. They have cocky lyrics and good ones too.

For givin u an example this is the beggining of this tune, its sorta sarcastic :D

"Nobody is perfect but I'm pretty fucking close
and I'm here to give you all a heavy heavenly dose
I think you'd better listen 'cos I know who you are
and I think that you should treat me like a superstar
because I'm more than just a human I'm a gift to all of you
and I'm here to make sure that my message gets through
I wonder if you're really all as dumb as you look
or are you smart enough to learn the rules in my book
I hope you understand that the knowledge I bring
puts me in the position of a god or a king
'cos I'm blessed with the gift of the magic touch"



Clawfinger are currently working on a re-recording of their debut album Deaf Dumb Blind. The plan is to re-record all the songs from that album and bring in guests. Zak Tell has stated they were speaking with the members of Rammstein and Peter Tagtgren from the bands Pain and Hypocrisy.

Current members are,
Zak Tell on Lead vocals, lyrics
Jocke Skog on Keyboards, vocals
Bård Torstensen on Rhythm guitar
André Skaug on Bass
Micke Dahlén on Drums

Okey lets DIG!

Cheers, Thetania

Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name

Back to a bit cocky music, H0UH!

These guys are well know for their cocky lyrics
and also for their rapmetal music.

They hade their first public performance
in somebody's living room, Orange County,
California in 1991.
in 1992, October they hade their
first European tour begins, supporting
Suicidal Tendencies
1993 they had their first sold-out
headlining show at Roseland, New York City.

They consist of:
Zack de la Rocha on vocals, lyrics
Tom Morello on guitar
Tim Commerford on bass guitar
Brad Wilk on drums, percussion

The political awearness of the Singer
Zack de la Rocha is quite something,
He has been particularly outspoken on the cause of the EZLN:
Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN)
He explained the importance of the cause to him personally:

“It is important for me, as a popular artist,
to make clear to the governments of the United States
and Mexico that despite the strategy of fear and
intimidation to foreigners, despite their weapons,
despite their immigration laws and military reserves,
they will never be able to isolate the
Zapatista communities from the people in the
United States... Through concerts, videos, interviews,
broadcasting of information at concerts, and our
songs'lyrics we have placed within reach of young people,
our audience, the experiences of the
Zapatistas; we act as facilitators of the ways
in which they can participate and put them in
contact with the organization and the Zapatista
support committees in the United States.


I choosed a tune from their debut album with
the same name as the group, from 1992.

Cheers Peeps,
Thetania

Outkast - Happy Valentine's Day

(Saint) Valentine's Day is a holiday celebrated on February 14 by many people throughout the world. In the West, it is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine's cards, presenting flowers, or offering confectionery.
The day was originally a pagan festival that was renamed after two Early Christian martyrs named Valentine. The day became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.
The day is most closely associated with the mutual exchange of love notes in the form of "valentines". Modern Valentine symbols include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten notes have largely given way to mass-produced greeting cards.

We wish you all a Happy Valentine's Day!
Here is OutKast is an American hip hop duo based out of East Point, Georgia.

With a nice tune to wish you all a Happy Valentine.



The duo was originally known as The OKB (The OutKast Brothers) but later changed its name to OutKast.
The group's original musical style was a mixture of Dirty South and G-Funk.
Since then, however, funk, soul, pop, electronic music, rock, spoken word poetry, jazz, and blues elements have been added to the group's musical palette. The duo consists of Atlanta native André "André 3000" Benjamin (formerly known as Dré) and Savannah, Georgia-born Antwan "Big Boi" Patton.

Linkin Park - Enjoy The Silence

Linkin Park is an American rock band from Agoura Hills, California.
Since their formation in 1996, the band has sold more than 50 million albums and won two Grammy Awards.
They achieved mainstream success with their debut album, Hybrid Theory, which was certified Diamond by the RIAA in 2005. Their following studio album, Meteora, continued the band's success, topping the Billboard 200’s album charts in 2003, and was followed by extensive touring and charity work around the world.
Recognized for their adaptation of the nu metal and rap rock genre into a radio-friendly yet densely-layered style in Hybrid Theory and Meteora, the band moved away from this and explored a variety of other genres in their latest studio album, Minutes to Midnight. The album topped the Billboard charts and had the third best debut week of any album that year.
They are also known for their several collaborations, most notably with rapper Jay-Z in their mash-up album Collision Course, and many other artists on Reanimation.

Todays tune is a cover, written by Depeche Mode and performed by LP.
