Kanye is gonna love this shit!

He'll be mentioning this on his blog by the end of next week. Watch.

This fella's name is Adam Tensta, and he is one of the freshest and illest rappers on the planet.

And he's from Sweden! Though he raps in English.

Tensta's beats are dope as shiz and he's rhyming about things other than the cliches in American hip hop: hos and cash.

CLICK HERE to enjoy his instantly infectious My Cool.

Perez How much do record labels pay you to pretend like you like people's music? Haha you're such a sellout for the dollar.

Go ahead and keep profiting off of heath ledger's death, calling for britney's suicide, etc. Happy afterlife.

There are a shit load of artists in America that rap about real issues, but of course it wouldn't be cool if the artist didn't come from another country. What about Brother Ali, Mos Def, Sage Francis, Blackalicious, the Roots (they've been around for 20 years by the way), Wise Intelligent, X-Clan, the Coup, Greenhouse Effect, Murs, and Blue Scholars just to name a few. You are a fool to think that hip hop in America is dead and you obviously can not look below the surface to see what is really going on with this genre.

Anneka says – reply to this

the hip hop scene is alive and well here. Tensta is the name of a "project" part of stockholm (in america it would be like "inner city" housing), were he grew up and I tought him in junior high, actually. *proud*

Thanks Perez for posting this. Adam Tensta is RAD … For reals. And yes, if Kayne hasn't heard of him yet, he will now have obviously. BTW, all these people who post "first" are totally retarded. They totally post like they are not a day over 12.

Love the song, but I don't understand, is the word "nigga" a mandate in every rap song? If blacks want whites to stop using the version that ends in "er", perhaps you should stop using this version, hhhmmmmm???
JESUS CHRIST says – reply to this

71

LOVE THE SUDDEN SHIFT TO STREET LINGO WHEN TALKING ABOUT RAPPERS PEREZ. WHEN YOU USE WORDS LIKE "FRESHEST" AND "ILLEST" IT ALMOST MAKES US FORGET YOU'RE WHITE WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY WHAT YOU'RE ATTEMPTING. KEEP IT REAL DAWG, KEEP IT REAL AND TELL RANDY JACKSON WEL ALL SAID HI.

He was raised in a suburb of Sweden called Tensta, he's originally from Africa. He's amazing, love love love HIM! He's blowing up in Sweden. Very creative. I love his video for My Cool. It's fun. Anyway, looks like he's finally getting some recognition here in the US. Good. He's also a big fan of reggae, man after my own heart. LOVE YOU ADAM!
Sassy says – reply to this

74

Thanks…gonna have that in my head all damn day now.
Tired of Perez says – reply to this

75

Perez, I think you think you're much more important to music than you really are. So, Mika gives you a little credit for blowing him up the US. He is mediocre at best and has no star quality. AND this rapper guy, what do you know about rap? PuhLEEZE! Can't understand a damn thing he's saying and his mixing in that Eurotrash pop totally sounds horrible. Good luck with your record label Perez! And NO, I'm not jealous, I'm a well known record executive.
grapesoda says – reply to this

76

My Cool is a good song he's good I'm gonna listen to more of his stuff!
NIna says – reply to this

77

Hahaha… where do you find all this shit?!? Im so sick and tired of this song, they play it 24/7 here in Sweden… but its coooooooool.. his name sucks though..Tensta is a "ghetto" area here in Stockholm.

Oooh..what K-fed wouldn't do to be singing this song instead..

Rap is the lowest form of art today. If you wat to point out the world's ills write an essay or book. Rapping just makes you look like a fool and the audience look even more foolish.
dudejake says – reply to this

79

what a fucking find perez, seriously this is as good as anything kanye's made. thanks now i've got a new favorite song, hopefully this blows up in the states someday soon.

Wow, I usually dislike most rap because of it's unorignal beats, and generic and often degrading rhymes towards women. Adam Tensta is fantastic though, wow.

Patryck Cod'e says – reply to this

83

This shit ain't shyt. It ain't ill nor chill, its swill. Please find a way to take it off.
And thank you for the link to "You Tube" that demonstrates that his songs are all of the same tired beats and rhymes.
Gihara says – reply to this

84

it's only a matter of time, until kanye west or anybody from the US is gona want to collaborate with him…kanye west will likely be the first, he's all about authencity and than bragging about it !!!!!!!

Ari says – reply to this

87

"Dopest"? "Illest"? No wonder the English language is a joke these days. Grow a brain, Perez. Heck, that's not even your name! Get a real job, you fat fag and stop pretending to be cool. You never were and never will be. Stop piggybacking off people who have actually DONE something. Your career and this site and its patrons are all morons with an IQ of -5.
