Turns out it's only El-P and Despot... but it's El-P so it's gonna be sick nonetheless.

Is anyone going? http://www.songkick.com/concerts/13198413-elp-at-scala

Madvillainy is on there... I would've picked Jurassic 5 LP instead.

Since it's been 16 days now, and only Rock Well has submitted a beat, he's been declared the winner for this round. Let's hope we get a few entries for the scratch battle. Scratch Battle rules: (1) Deadline is the 25th. (2) Must be one-take. (3) Freestyle or routine. (4) Scratch for the entirety of the beat. (5) Post on here once you upload the file.

What?! Evidence isn't on the list at all?!

DVS or no DVS, shit DJs are just shit. Only losers blame their equipment. DMC is getting worse because DJs are getting worse... and coz it's rigged (or worse, the judges are simply idiots)

LONG LIVE HIP HOP That stuff from 2:00 onwards is MAGIC

all praise the inventor of the "fuck you" scratch! you murdered those chirps! and I loved the juggle from 4:00 - that really was making music!

Any more entries? Sy? Kut? JP? Eric? Wax? Dopp?

Beat Junkies at Jazz Cafe on Thursday 23rd August! Man, that week sounds amazing!

fyi it's chinmachine (from russia) scratching on eric's beat, not me. I posted this in the member's section coz of eric.

I have most of the footage from the CSG last year. I gave it all to Richard, but I guess he never got round to editing.

Daymn, I'm gonna miss this and the CSG... Make sure to film something!
