In this era of dubstep, clothing sponsorships, visuals and everything being celebrated except the actual lyricism it’s refreshing that Kitty Pride and Riff Raff bring Hip Hop back to it’s orginal essence on Orion’s Belt: raw bars, a Beautiful Lou beat and a hook. If you are a golden-era head this song will make you forget about the past 20 years of Hip Hop.

MP3: Jay Electronica Ft Mobb Deep-Call Of Duty
When Jay Electronica rapped “Brunch With the Rothchilds” on Call of Duty last year, I thought it was a fresh lyric that was a continuation of Hip Hop’s love of conspiracy theories that present powerful British banking family the Rothchilds as key play players in the illumanati. Welp. turns out Electronica wasn’t just breaking bread with the Rothchilds. He was breaking up their marriages.
The Daily Mail Reports:
It seemed like the perfect union – a marriage that brought together two of the country’s wealthiest families.
He was the multi-millionaire son of the late financier and tycoon Jimmy Goldsmith, she a scion of the Rothschild banking dynasty.
But now Ben Goldsmith and his music producer wife Kate, who have three children, are to divorce after she embarked on a passionate love affair with an American rap singer named Jay Electronica.
Last night Mr Goldsmith confirmed the split, saying: ‘I’m pretty shell-shocked by everything. All I am thinking about now is my children.’
The marriage ended with a dramatic showdown at the family home in Notting Hill, West London, on Wednesday morning.
Mr Goldsmith, 31, confronted his 30-year-old wife over explicit text messages and emails he found on her smartphone that she had received from and sent to the New Orleans-born hip-hop artist, who now lives in London and is one of her clients.
