Good Hip Hop, Irish Struggle, and a UK Firestarter

Three tracks for you today. Some sweet hip hop, a folk song about Irish struggle, and this track currently sizzling in the UK - Dirty Picture. Taio Cruz and Ke$ha team up for this one... another to make sure you have the bass turned up on!



When I went back to high school to graduate, I had a teacher named Coach Bill McKittrick... and I probably spelled his name wrong, because we all simply called him Coach. Anyone who went to one of two high schools in Richmond, BC over 30 years would know exactly who I'm talking about. He gave me this cd of Irish-American music and this next tune was on that disc. This youtube version I stumbled across, not thinking there would be a video for any of the songs on that disc. It's a passionate song about the Irish struggle, and is worth a crank up on the speakers.



So little good hip hop these days... but that doesn't mean there isn't any. My buddy Chase posted this last night, and it's such a SICK tune, I had to post. Not likely to be heard on Virgin Radio soon, but more than worth a listen if you like the genre.
