Important Announcement!

Okay, so let me tell you what's going on with this blog at the moment: not much. And I'm sorry for that, but a lot of things have come in between and I've had to focus on other things for a while.

HOWEVER, I've got BIG plans for this thing! By the end of January, I'll be getting back to business and get the Rubberband back to what it was last spring. It's going to be taken to a whole other level in many aspects. I will be working on a new design during the spring; get a proper domain going; improve the content, hopefully with some interviews and such; and a Twitter feed has been set up, but not yet officially started off - find it here.

To make it a bit simple: I'm gonna to make this into a brand! It's going to be a platform for Hip hop music, for the (future) packed with action empire, for you and for me. And hopefully, when we've reached that far, others will be able to join and team up.

For now, enjoy this:

Jay-Z - On to the next (feat. Swizz Beatz)



Dizzee Rascal - Dance wiv' me



Akon & David Guetta - Sexy Bitch (Littles The General Remix)



Maskinen - Bränner

I was just thinking!

When I started this blog it was supposed to be a lot of british Hiphop in it as well as a mix with the stars of my home country Sweden, the big scene in the U.S. and where ever in the world I could find it.

But there is a problem... That problem annoys me as much as that feeling you get when you calmly wake up by the soothing noice of car engines, bicycle bells and truck horns, and you realize that you're not in bed, but naked in the middle of a roundabout with "Call me if you like what you see, 071xxxxxxxx" painted on your back.

I do not know anything about british Hiphop music. What was ones exported from here to the kingdom of Sweden, was Lady Sovereign, who sounded like a stuffed chipmunk with her braids tied so tight the talent center in her brain must have been pulled out, and Dizzee Rascal. That's pretty much it.

So, is the problem yours, the Brits, for not making good enough hip hop? Or ours, the Sweds, for not finding the true talent when we go fishing for new tunes on the islands? I don't know, probably the Swedes. We tend to be caught up on listening to Basshunter and new Abba covers while assembling our new Billy bookcases and Astrid tables from IKEA.

It must be ours. After all, Dizzee Rascal is quality Hiphop. Come on now, you can say it. Blame the Sweds! We're neutral, we haven't had a beef in ages. We're bored!

There is more of that quality Hiphop in this country, but where? For me just writing about Dizzee Rascal's music would be boring for all of us, so I'm asking you for help here. Just point me in a direction and I'll take it from there!
