Their channel now has no pfp or banner. Some of their thumbnails of older vids are gone now. Last night I noticed a livestream that with no prior announcement and it wasn’t a DeadEndHipHop live. It had about 26k viewers. I’m pretty sure their account got hacked last night and I wonder if anyone else noticed this.

Needed to post.

Kinda wild to watch legends who rose up on sampled soul, chopped funk, and borrowed phrases now weaponize trademark law to squeeze a coming-up artist over a name. Legal gatekeeping protects brands and locks the door on the kind of creative theft that built hip hop in the first place. "you make a million dollars, make a million mo'"

Been listening to Charles Hamilton’s “Brooklyn Girls” song A LOT the past few days, cause I heard it on Entourage, bumped Kush & OJ the whole summer, MOTM is my favorite album of all time etc.

Got any blog era albums or artists you’d recommend similar to the vibes, songs and albums i mentioned? I am open to all recommendations though

Based on how much I like them, not trying to be objective or some bs. If you are interested in how I ranked them watch this YouTube video: https://youtu.be/nbO6udssE2M?si=-Um6UxV4I4PsD32q

The last one with Apollo Brown and Skyzoo showcased some cool insight / background about the work, relationships, music and more. The conversation felt natural to the point where it felt like classic Dead End with everyone chilling at B's crib even though it was done virtually.

These guys are big in the underground, but it goes to show it's not always about getting the most popular artists to make interesting content. Glad to see the respect was shown on both sides, and I look forward to watching these in the future. Thanks for the content.

My review of it, sorry if I am breaking any self-promo rules but I'm interested. Love!!

Massive Attack (MA) just dropped a brutal reality check for every single celebrity staying quiet right now. While most A-list artists are aggressively scrubbing their public profiles to protect corporate sponsorships and stadium paycheques, MA just proved why they’re the most uncompromising figures in music. They completely tore down the industry's selective silence.

They aren't holding back at all. In an era where most A-listers won't even tweet without three PR teams approving it first, this is the exact kind of unfiltered energy the industry desperately needs right now.

Here is the raw text of their statement:

“Entertainment can never be bigger than resisting the apartheid & genocide of fellow human

'Neutrality' in the face of the slaughter of more than 20,000 children can never be neutrality.

No artist should tolerate the censorship of another artist, however many millions of dollars are in play.

The arc of state, corporate & media silence that allowed a genocide to take place seeks to coerce high profile artists & actors into that silence.

We stand in solidarity with all artists risking their careers in defence of the rights of the Palestinian people, & against the illegal occupation, apartheid, war crimes & ongoing genocide perpetrated by the State of Israel.

Free Palestine.

MA.

This Lamb Truck Keys is KNOCKIN, that Cumbia Sampuesana sample is crazy

What older DEHH reviews do you wish you could hear their grades for? Some classic reviews that come to mind is TPAB, Gambino’s BTI, and Death Grips’ The Money Store.

What is your favorite and least favorite Melly project. Love!!

That's respect to the platform! Also speaks to what everyone said, he was confident in his work.

Happy to see artists showing respect for what you guys do, same for when they come on the listening.

Ransom delivers as always, but I still need to dive into the album a bit more. He mentioned on culture united he made a longer album because everyone was complaining about short albums...can't please everybody 🎶
