Slaine dropped his solo album yesterday. Review is up on Action Recon for those interested. Album is sick.

Album is incredible, only thing I don't like are those annoying Cyrus Deshield hooks. I talked to Slaine at a record store yesterday and had him sign it. It was kinda weird; I don't think he even had a buzz.

Ya those hooks caught me by surprise as well. In a way I like the fact he had the sand to try something different though.

Slaine is a good dude man, one of the nicer people I have had the pleasure of working with and spending time with over the last year.

what does that other kid say to make him flip out there?


mattybar - 8-24-2011 at 10:16 AM

i've watched this clip a ton of times and still can't hear anything that would make him react like that..?
i mean he's clearly off his tits drunk/coked up but does he just flip out cos the guy says "your bitch" blah blah etc ??

i mean come on... it's supposed to be a battle but he flips out when the guy cusses his woman?
he's a pretty bad sport if that is the case.
it's not like that other kid is particularly better at rhyming than him either. Very weird video.
i wonder what would have happened if he mentioned his mother.

SS76 - 8-24-2011 at 01:02 PM

I'm guessing it was from being disrespectful and cutting him off before he was finished originally. Doubt that kid would have started off calling him a bitch and talking about guns and fucking his woman if it was 50 Cent or any other black rapper, hence the "I'm white". Drunk people do what drunk people do.

i think the beer and drugs are definitely to blame here.
dissing someone's girl/family/sexuality/flow etc is all pretty much fair game in battles.
i've seen a million times more offensive stuff said than 'i fucked your girl last night' and most rappers just take it on the chin (haha not literally!)
i dunno. it is what it is i guess.

here's a good battle from the uk, the white guy is a pretty well known battle rapper. the black guy is an actor/musician who fucking sucks but gets respect cos he was part of a 'revolutionary' crew called So Solid (kinda like a low budget uk garage version of wu-tang).
He's promoting a new film of his here where he actually played an MC called 'Life and Lyrics'.
He truly gets torn a new arsehole in this clip.

Slaine posted something about separating from his wife on Facebook last month, wrong subject to touch on when dissing someone under the influence.



Since were talking about battle raps, check out Iron Solomon. Dude is a beast.

aaaah i see
i guess that could explain it

yeah Iron Solomon is great.
There's an awesome video of him battling that Math guy from the fight clip i posted.

Yes Slaien and his wife divorced and they have a child together and it just went down recently. It was due to his hectic touring, filming and all the frustrations he went through while trying to put out his new album.

It was just really bad timing on the guys part to be talking shit about Slaines now x-wife. Emotions are already high and when mixed with booze shit happens.
