DJ Format - Music For The Mature B-Boy

The first day of college was pretty terrible. About six hours of sitting in a class room with twenty people you've never met before and filling in a stupid number of forms. Add the worst headache you've ever had and realizing that maybe you've made a mistake, and you have my day. Still when they took me for a taster of my Literature course things started looking up, that is until we had to play the "say everyone in the rooms name" game and everyone managed to get every name right bar me who said "phht" every few people. Still, when this week is over things will pick up.

Here's the first hip-hop blog and it comes from the always enjoyable DJ Format with his trusty MC's Abdominal and Aspects in tow. Format hates modern day hip-hop and frankly who can blame him. The likes of 50 Cent and Jay-Z making the whole genre one big boast about how they've got fifty fur coats and a huge dick always leaves a stale taste in peoples mouth. Format is taking it back to the old school, the days when hip-hop was about expressing yourself not going on about how great you are. Elements of De La Soul, Public Enemy and such can be felt in here, really giving it an eighties feel. Next to Blackalicious, Format comes out top as one of the best twenty first century hip-hop artists.
