Adele 1988: Review

by Freddie C January 8, 2009 Music Reviews

As a hip-hop web site, Kevinnottingham.com doesn’t really give me the chance to review music by 20-year-old English female singers strapped with guitars singing about a broken heart. The closest I got to that was the 808s and Heartbreak review (Hiyooo). Fortunately, the latest project from mixtape extraordinaire Mick Boogie has filled that void. Adele [...]

Ego Trippin: Original Samples

by Thomas January 8, 2009 Diggin' In Da Crates

We haven’t done any Snoop sample sets since we hooked up his debut Doggystyle. So why not start with his last album? Ego Trippin’ came out last year and is probably best known for his single “Sexual Seduction”. Who knew Snoop would pull a Kanye? Of course we couldn’t call it that back then, but [...]

Curtis: Original Samples

by Thomas January 7, 2009 Diggin' In Da Crates

You’re probably wondering why we put together a sample set of 50 Cent‘s worst album and quite possible the worst album of 2007? I’m not really sure either… lol. On day 7 of our January Month of Samples, there has to be some filler though right? Not too many samples found for this set either, [...]
