I love "Story" Songs.

Unfortunately not enough bands do them. The experimental #Band #MC900FtJesus made a number of them where they would tell a story set to background music.

Their #Song New Moon is one of my favorites. They drop their #Rap #Hiphop sound and go all #Jazz for this one. It's great. The #Music here really sets the mood for their story about a girl who loves fast cars!

What are some of your favorite story songs?

Seriously. I want to listen to them.

All Along the Watchtower, but different, by Devlin (probably one of the most underrated UK rappers), feat. Ed Sheeran and Labyrinth at the BBC Live Lounge 12 years ago. Of course, Dylan's original, plus Jimi's cover are both classics, and it takes guts to touch that. I have to say I like the #Rap and #Rock mix of this, and great energy. Also some good lyrics:
"There's no trap door, or get out clause. The world can be your oyster or a set of jail doors." #Music

When Kemi Badenoch denied Belfast rappers Kneecap their Music Export Growth Scheme grant due to their political views, she probably didn't expect them to take the matter to court.

Now the Govt. has agreed not to contest the case leading the Court to award then the same amount in damages as the grant they applied for.

The group's lawyer, Darragh Mackin, called it 'a victory for the arts, for culture, for the freedom of expression'!

#Kendrick dropped a whole album today with no warning
So I'm warning you.

This is the one. What we all hoped he would do after the Drake beef this summer. It's dope. It's listenable. It's not exceedingly high concept, but it's got enough twists and turns that you won't see all of them coming.

It's a good ass album. You'll put it on repeat. Enjoy this. Cause i sure am.

J'ai raconté ici que T'choupi a voulu réciter sa poésie de CM2 en #rap. Il l'a fait hier, il a eu 19 et est content de lui (l'instit a enlevé un point parce qu'il a terminé sur "Robert Desnos est dans la classe" 😎). Mais ça a lancé un débat avec ChèreEtTendre qui "n'aime pas le rap" et trouve que ça ne convient pas dans la bouche d'un petit garçon. Ça m'a donné envie de leur faire découvrir de bons morceaux de rap, avec de beaux textes et de belles musiques : qu'est-ce que vous me conseilleriez ? Merci d'avance :-)

#ThrowBackThursday

The first recorded rap song, released just months before Rapper's Delight (Sugar Hill Gang) in 1979.

According to drummer Bill Curtis, Fatback had heard Grandmaster Flash in Brooklyn and added rap to their next album at the last minute. The song never crossed over into the Top 40. The band had other hits, though.

What do you think?

Guest post: How #HeatPumps became a #Nordic success story - Carbon Brief carbonbrief.org/guest-post-how “A common criticism of heat pumps is that they do not work in cold weather.

However, the Nordic region – particularly Sweden, Finland and Norway – offers a rebuttal to this assessment, as our research at the Regulatory Assistance Project (#RAP) shows.

These three European countries have the highest heat pump sales per 1,000 households in the continent.”

“…I never could pinpoint when I fell in love w/ #HipHop; it had simply always been there. But I remember, distinctly, the moment when I realized it had been a #dysfunctional & perhaps even #abusive relationship. I’d been working on a playlist for a friend’s birthday, compiled exclusively of #rap tracks considered classics of the genre, & was giving it a listen while on a run.
