The New Zealand edition of Star In Their Eyes started just over a month ago, to be honest I wasn’t that interested in watching it until I read this scathing review which said that the show was basically shit, there was an “appalling lack of talent” and that the worst performers were winning - that’s exactly the kinda television I live for. So I finally got around to checking it out this past Tuesday and it was everything I dreamed it would be, fucking shocking, I loved it!

Meet Emmeline Pitcher, contestant from episode 6, she is a solo mother of two from Hamilton, she sold her home to pursue a career in music and became a professional “singing telegram” (LOL). She performed “Turn Back Town” by Cher, it was fucking terrible and her outfit was outright vulgar. Anyways, it was pretty clear to me that she didn’t have a fucking hope of winning this shit, especially since there were some fairly spot on impersonations of Amy Winehouse and James Taylor on the same show… well whaddyaknow she won, haha, she’s gonna be in the grand final, can’t wait.

Here’s a link to her winning performance: Emmeline Pitcher as Cher ’Turn Back Town”

Jacked from Nah Right. This blend is too ill, classic Big L joint mixed with one of my favourite beats from J Dilla’s Donuts LP.

Yo, if you are looking for something to do tonight head down to Fu ‘cos Mixmaster Mike is gonna be performing there. For the unitiated not only is MMM the Beastie Boy’s resident DJ, he was the ‘92 NMS battle champ, he was DMC World champ alongside Q-Bert in ‘92 and ‘93 before being asked not to enter because him and Q-Bert were too good, not to mention being the guy that influenced one of the most influential DJs of our generation, Q-Bert. Oh yeah, he also communicates to aliens via scratching… I saw him last time he played at Fu ’bout two years ago, dude is insane!!! Anyways, I’ll prolly be there with D-Form and Truent analysing his tweak scratch, lol.

Props go to MTC for hooking a link for this one up. Slick told me how mean this song was last year sometime, and I was fortunate enough to hear it a bit later when Neezy played it in the studio. Since then me and Slick have been hanging out for it to see the light of day, and it’s finally here. This song goes hard. Beat is mean, Neezy kills it with the melodies, and Ermehn’s got quotables for days on it. Mean.

Check it on the MTC blog: Ermehn feat Chong Nee - “I love the way you love me”

… not Hov. After taking all the correct entries, placing them in a hat, and picking out a winner at random: The double pass to the Serato 10th birthday party goes to Mr Dave Roebeck. Thanks to all you folks for your entries, there was plenty of them - however very few of them actually had the correct answer - LOL.

There are currently 3 Serato Scratch Live interfaces on the market.

Please forward all complaints about the question on to Nick, he masterminded it. Regardless, we hope to still see all of you there as it shall be an occasion not to be missed. Mean!

Not him, but me.

As I mentioned the other day ya boy David Dallas dropped into Trueschool last week to spit some raps for our New Zealand music week special. He spat some laid-back raps over a laid back P-Money beat, and it was cool as fuck, see video below…

Shout ups to Clarence, Rui and The Evader.

Here’s the second video for my favourite song of last year. This version is more in line with what I had initially envisioned a video for this song looking like. Good looking model and the full version of the song give it a thumbs up from me. Which video do you’s fullas reckon is better though ? Check the old one here and place your votes.

Last week was NZ Music week at 95bFM and we observed the occasion on Trueschool by playing an entire show of local hip hop and invited a couple of rappers up to drop some frees. David Dallas dropped a dope freestyle over a P-Money beat early in the show and Ethical and Saia came through later on, we bonded over GTA IV stories, followed by another dope freestyle session. See video below for my “My Effin Diary” debut and footage of Eth and Saia.

I got a good recording of both freestyle sessions so I’ll up those later this week…
