Kanye, Gorillaz, Daddy Yankee and the Chemical Brothers qualify for the next round. Kanye also wins the run-off from Heat #2. But guess what? Yes, ANOTHER run-off follows heat #4, which is FULL OF BANGERS.

Rules reminder - SIX TICKS only. )

SMITHMONGER VS KOBI, PEOPLE. Not on youtube, but this place at least has a full preview (and there are approximately 50 000 other mp3 stores with previews of various length of it a google away if that particular one doesn't work for you). Thing is abs BANGING: seriously filthy bass, 8-bit effects, awesome vocal loops (esp the cut-up one). JUST LISTEN TO IT SERIOUSLY.

Other things:

Not my nom but I love it long time, and so must REP -- Sticky-produced grime classic Hype Hype:

Xzibit and early-days K-Hil; also BANGING:

The Smithmonger & Kobe is on Spotify, and it's ace - probably the second best new thing (to me) in this heat. Surging relentless drive, filthy is the word for sure. I only regret that my computer speakers have such a powerful subwoofer that cranking this track up on them would probably cause STRUCTURAL DAMAGE - it still sounds pretty intense even on crappy headphones, as right now... Anyways, I'll probably sub a vote out from one of mine that's safe purely for solidarity purposes.

SLK sounds like most of the Sticky stuff I've heard, which is to say it sounds GREBT and also hyper-mega-manic. Good but not tuned to my mood at the moment.

I also like the Xzibit thing, more for Keri's contrib but still.

I gave Xzibit a seoncd listen, this time via the video, and it improved! It probably helped that the comedic nature of the video helped me feel better about not knowing what the hell "mean muggin" is supposed to mean exactly and just enjoy it.

Urban Dctionary informs me that "mean muggin" is looking at someone in an angry way. The More You Know!

Possibly my favourite Kanye song.

"Helena" has a very (very) hesitant tick from me right now but I could waver elsewhere. I've decided not to tick "Hollaback Girl," but here's a HILARIOUS kiddie version from Girl Authority.
