NO, Sweden isn't a decade after you guys, but this artist is new and maybe it was trying to be different? All American hip-hop video s are the same, boring "a-rapper-wit-diamonds-surrounded-by-strippers" - it's not very good either! So, listen to Adam Tenstas music instead of judging his video… He's great. Puss & Kram

Horrible and stupid just like 99.99% of all rap. It is very discouraging to see that America has exported the worst of our culture, crappy "music" made by idiotic people.

Adams BIO on myspace!!!!!

The ever-changing music genre, hip-hop, is constantly moving in new exciting directions, locally as well as globally. In 2008, the Swedish hip-hop scene is experiencing a new sound, which has been embraced by an amazingly varied crowd ranging from 5-year-old snot-nosed kids to 65-year-old grandmothers. The person behind this new sound is Adam Tensta. He is the latest in a long line of talented hip-hop entrepreneurs who have put their imprint on Swedish hip-hop music.

Adam Tensta gained national exposure in May 2007 with his debut single They Wanna Know, which enjoyed heavy rotation on all major radio stations as well as music television stations, including ZTV, The Voice TV and MTV. A few months later the big breakthrough came, as Adam Tensta dropped the single My Cool from the album It’s a Tensta Thing. It became an instant hit and parked itself on the Swedish Dance chart for eight consecutive weeks, reaching a fourth place on the Swedish single chart. My Cool has been downloaded nearly 150,000 times from MySpace and had more than 1.2 million views in its first five months on YouTube. Perhaps the biggest sign of appreciation came when the album It’s a Tensta thing was awarded the 2008 Swedish Grammis, Sweden’s equivalent to a Grammy, for best Dance/Hip Hop/Soul album.

Born Adam Momodou Eriksson Taal, on August 1, 1983, Adam grew up the son of a single mother and an absent, heroin-addicted father in a project in the outskirts of Stockholm called Tensta. In a neighborhood where violence and crime is the norm, Adam Tensta refused to take the path of many of his peers. Instead of stealing, smoking dope and skipping school, he found a mental sanctuary in hip hop music and artists like the Wu-Tang Clan, Mobb Deep, Nas and Bob Marley became the source of inspiration for his first rhymes. To honor his roots, Adam took Tensta as his artist name, and for the first time Swedish newspaper headlines didn’t only refer to crime stories. Adam Tensta has never smoked, drank alcohol or done drugs. He strives to be a good role model and is a representative of “A Non Smoking Generation” and an ambassador for the Swedish chapter of “Save the Children,” a child advocacy group that looks after the value and safety of all children in the world.

Criss Angel Is Recorded Threatening To Knock Out His Producer!

Whoa! Criss Angel is NOT messing around here!

The Luxor headlining illusionist was recorded having quite the verbal altercation with Joe Monti, one of his magic producers on Wednesday, during which Angel is heard threatening to knock him out - and now he's had a police report filed against him!

Give it a listen (above)!

Furthermore, Monti later said to authorities that he recorded the meeting because Angel has a history of bullying employees!

He explains:

“I wanted him to know how demeaning he was. I created 50-60 percent of the magic for ‘Mindfreak.' I have no reason to do anything vindictively but I draw the line on violence.”

Scary!

Violence is never the answer, folks!
