No Kappa, the ones you linked are still not it; I went to the classics, and after hearing Raekwon not in time and ODB over a not ignorant guitar loop, I dropped everything. These are things that hit hard. << they mash various artists to give it a more electronic tone. >> That’s for live shows, but if you hear something of theirs on the radio (I’ll have about thirty hours, if not more, in mp3), they mash everything, from Rap over funky, Nina Simone over Metal, or all three combined. And they don’t cut and stitch; they just keep it in time. They are the people with the most incredible musical ear I’ve ever heard, in addition to having millions and millions of records. Besides them, in Rap nights, it’s common practice for a good DJ to take a cappella from this guy and an instrumental from that guy, and make them play together to show off how cool you are. Tayone, Double S, and others among the Italians, and various beasts have challenged themselves among Premiere and FunkmasterFlex, even putting them up for official sale with unreleased tracks. Or instrumentals from that guy with freestyles from this guy over them. Even the Sayan Supa from France make albums with a couple of them who remake famous beats in beatbox, and another couple who redo tracks of other rappers with voices identical to the rapper, a mash-up of voice and microphone. In short, this wugazi might be amusing, but when it comes to level, it’s low. Listen to the Sayan Supa. Or Beardyman: the coolest Englishman in the world.

The film is not about a "gladiator who saves his wife," but it is a film with the vibe of "Gladiator" aka "the cop who arrested Frank Lucas"... who saves his wife. Although, all being high on Oxycontin in ancient Rome + various rescues, it would make for a great movie.

<< What the heck do 2 Many Dj's have to do with it? >> 2 Many Dj's are better at mashing up, for example, they get the rappers to sync up unlike the two tracks I've heard from this. << Is there a risk that Fugazi could be remembered only for this mash-up? >> Well, the rap fans definitely will. Since the Wu have sold about twenty million more records than Fugazi, there will surely be someone in a few years who, upon hearing Fugazi, will say "damn, those guys with Wu's beats." Of course, RZA has been much more generous lately; back in the day, he would want money just to spit in your face... well, he only gave out pieces from the Mesozoic era. I saw him selling Oxycontin in that movie about the gladiator who saves his wife from prison by killing his boss, it was believable. Maybe it's better if he fully dedicates himself to acting.

PS: 2 Many Dj's wipe the floor with him. But, really.

For me, it was a nightmare; I only heard CREAM and Shame On A Nigga, and I couldn't go on.

Geenoo: tell us about Stephen King.

Ufio Diapolon, I've already mentioned it as "cool transformations". I remember them all, I have an archive, not a brain.

The giant robot with the coolest story, however, is Zambot 3, also by Tomino (Vultus 5, the first six/seven of Gundam, Daitarn III), a character with bipolar issues. During Zambot 3 he was in a low phase, and during Daitarn III he was in full chaos; in fact, they are opposites of each other even though the robots and the stories are practically the same. It's just that in Zambot 3 there's a massacre after another, people drop like flies, and it's quite a joy. The last episode is Apocalypse Now in Japanese. Only Nagai is superior to Tomino in the realm of robots, since without Nagai we might still be watching Astroboy or L'ape Maya.

Yes, I knew those two links; I can't remember where the discussion had already come up. Massimo Carlotto describes Japanese people as a culture that doesn't know a damn thing about non-Japanese history. We talked about it some time ago with a friend who loves Japan, and he confirmed this, pointing out various examples in cartoons. One above all: the Virgo Knight, a European, is "the man closest to God"... and God is Buddha. What Buddha has to do with ancient Greece, only the Japanese know.
