Hate Us Now - Win J Dilla's Ruff Draft Tape Everybody knows that celebrity baby collectors Brad & Angelina are the planet’s most unselfish philanthropists and that their quest to own a child from each of the world’s slums will one day bring about peace on Earth, but what about tales of everyday generosity, of ordinary altruism? What if, say, an irreverent music blog with appalling grammar teamed up with the kings of independent hip-hop just to give shit away? Yep, IT’S COMPETITION TIME! To celebrate the special re-release of J Dilla’s seminal Ruff Draft those generous folk at Stones Throw Records have furnished us with a few copies of the strictly limited-edition, rarer-than-Lohan-underwear Ruff Draft cassette tapes. “Sound like it’s straight from the ma’fuckin’ cassette!” says dearly departed Dilla on the intro and thanks to a clever marketing gimmick it actually will be for the lucky winners. To win a Ruff Draft tape all you have to do is diss Pinglewood. Via the medium of rhyme we want you to slag us off, call us out, talk trash to us. Just a few lines will do and the funniest win (extra points will be awarded for Hollyoaks references). Send your caustic barbs to us here along with your name and a postal address. Competiton closes on 10/04/07. If you don't fancy your chances you can, and should, buy Ruff Draft here. Here are a few recent diss tracks to get you warmed up. Video disses are all the rage and the ridiculous Scott Storch recently took his spat with Timbaland to YouTube. Timbaland dragged D.O.E. in to reply on his behalf, then had a go himself on his new single/hatefest that also finds Nelly Furtado having a pop at Fergie and Justin Timberlake dissing, um, Janet Jackson. D.O.E. - Piano Man (produced by Timbaland) [mp3] Timbaland - Give It To Me (feat. Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake) [mp3] [Buy] Unlike us, Pace Rock is no Lindsay Lohan fan: Pace Rock - Lindsay Lohan [mp3] Uffie decided to hit back against the snarks by dissing the whole Hollertronix messageboard: Uffie - Holler-Glock (Go Play With Your Stickers) [mp3] Sufjan Stevens has covered Joni Mitchell’s dig at David Geffen for a new Joni tribute album: Sufjan Stevens - Free Man In Paris [mp3] [Buy - seems a bit pricey] Good luck!
