Julian Benbow's top 10 hip-hop CDs of 2010




KANYE WEST “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’’ He took a year off to gather up all the ingredients (the boom-bap of “College Dropout,’’ the instrumentation of “Late Registration,’’ the polish of “Graduation,’’ the Auto-tuned emotion of “808s & Heartbreak,’’ the pain of family tragedy, a shattered engagement, a VMA implosion, a dash of the RZA, some Mobb Deep, some Michael Jackson, some Bon Iver) and voila! Pop culture’s public enemy No. 1 makes rap’s “Thriller.’’ (Thirty-five-minute movie and all!)

NAS AND DAMIAN MARLEY “Distant Relatives’’ The chemistry oozed out of them. Growing more and more politically charged, Nas uses Marley almost as a sounding board to explore slavery, history, truth, fiction, and conspiracy theories, and the two of them could go back and forth forever.

Nas and Damian Marley Tour New Zealand


One of them is responsible for arguabley the greatest hip hop album of all time, while the other is practically reggae royalty; and both are coming to New Zealand next year.

Nas and Damian Marley first confirmed they were working together in 2009 and the result of that collaboration was the album ‘Distant Relatives’. It is off the back of that partnership that the pair are touring and when they hit New Zealand - they’ll head first to Wellington before heading to Auckland the night after.

Nas is perhaps best known for his classic 1994 debut album ‘Illmatic’ which routinely tops best hip hop albums of all time lists; while Damian Marley is the youngest son of reggae legend Bob Marley and has followed in his father’s footsteps in regards to both his music and religious beliefs. ‘Distant Relatives’ features a fusion of the two musicians’ styles, which Marley first experimented with on his previous album ‘Welcome to Jamrock’

Nas and Marley’s show will feature the pair performing tracks from ‘Distant Relatives’ together as well as each doing a solo set of their own material. Local groups Kidz in Space and 1814 will be providing support for both shows.

Tickets for the Auckland show are on sale now from www.dashtickets.co.nz

February 16 – TSB Arena, Wellington

February 17 –Logan Campbell Centre, Auckland
