JAY-Z AT GLASTONBURY: THE ANALYSIS

Posted in HipHop, Politics, UK with tags , , , , on June 29, 2008 by djsemtex


This performance was probably the most anticipated Hip-Hop show to ever take place. It was reminiscent of the film ‘When We Were Kings’, there was a real sense of drama and suspense building up to this event.

Was this musical rascism? was Noel justified in what he was saying, could Jay-z pull it off?

NEW MUSIC FROM SWAY

Posted in HipHop, UK with tags , on June 27, 2008 by djsemtex



Wanna hear some new music from Sway’s new album?

It could be one of the 2 joints feat Akon, it could be the joint featuring Sting’s daughter, Coco. Or it could be the new club smash that features Lemar.

You know you need to check me out at midnight, this Saturday on 1xtra.

DJ SEMTEX @ GLASTONBURY

Im on my way to Glastonbury, for some reason I’m not looking forward to it.

It could be the mud, it could be the fact that I wont be doing my radio show tonight, it could be the fact that its gonna take 8 hours to get there.

I’m spinnin’ for Dizz at midnight in the dance tent, and it will be the place to be, we are going to tear it down! I’m not hanging around for 20 hours to see Jay-z though. He’s my favourite artist, and I know this is an important show for him, but I can’t do mud and hippies for that amount of time.

Check me out on the twitter section of this page (in the right hand side) to get an hourly update on what’s happening.

KANYE WEST ADDRESSES BONNOROO FIASCO

Posted in HipHop with tags , on June 25, 2008 by djsemtex

Recently Kanye performed at the Bonnoroo festival in the US and got a lot of negative flack for a late performance. Kanye addresses the critics haters on his blog. I can honestly say that Kanye cares about his fans a lot more than people realise, more than a lot of other artists do about their fans. His attention to detail is second to none, his work ethic defies logic, and his passion for music is undeniable.

Its sad that the US press will try to scrape up a story about this situation, and the people of Bonnaroo that acted up by throwing things on stage, or writing anti-Kanye Graff around the site, are basically neanderthal scum.

For the record, the Glow In The Dark tour was one of the best shows I have ever seen. Just in case you forgot about the infamous backstage post.
