Both track will be on the up and coming "Plug 1, 2 & 3 Invasion Mixtape (Best Of De La Soul)" mixed by DJ Psykhomantus.
Join Intelligence Squared for the first ever global debate on hip-hop. Is hip-hop the authentic voice of the oppressed that turns anger into poetry and political action? Or is it a glorification of all that holds back oppressed minorities and hinders them from mainstream assimilation?
In the third of our Versus series of debates with Google we’re bringing together some of the biggest names in hip-hop to debate these questions. Some of the speakers will be on stage at the Barbican Centre and others will be appearing on the big screen via the Google+ Hangout technology. We have rappers such as KRS-One, ?uestlove, Q-Tip and Estelle, and renowned US hip-hop intellectuals such as Touré, Michael Eric Dyson, Tricia Rose and dream hampton. We’re bringing over civil rights campaigner Jesse Jackson, once a critic and now in the hip-hop camp.
Hip-hop and all it stands for has moved well beyond its black American roots. We’ll also be hearing from John Sutherland, Victorian fiction expert, who is a hip-hop aficionado, and we’re bringing over the Egyptian rapper Deeb who was involved in the Tahrir Square uprising and thinks hip-hop has fostered revolution in North Africa.
Also flying in for an exclusive London appearance will be Jaron Lanier, computer scientist, virtual reality pioneer, composer and one of TIME’s 100 most influential people of 2010; and there’ll be critical voices from Shaun Bailey, David Cameron’s adviser on youth and crime, and Hattie Collins, music editor of i-D magazine.
In our new quick-fire courtroom format, there’ll be two brilliant advocates grilling our panel of hip-hop fans and critics and building a case either for or against the motion. Hip-hop is a state of mind, an attitude of defiance that has been adopted by the oppressed all over the world. But does it help or hinder society? On June 26th our audience will decide. So have your say – come to the Barbican or watch live on YouTube and vote online.

EXIT DMC That's all folks... This year is my final year with the mighty DMC company. It's been 10 years when I first entered the DMC stage in 2002's heats in Birmingham and returned in 04's Elimination (Leicester/Derby), 05's Elimination (Birmingham/Derby), 07's Elimination (Birmingham) and 09's Battle For Uk Supremacy's Finalist (London). I came 3rd in the Leicester Heats and happy that I was one of the 3 winners for my final battle. It's been a great ride as I remember being a young boy watching the TV and seeing DJ Cash Money, Cut Master Swift, DJ Reckless and other turntablists in the late 80's saying to myself I wanna be like those guys. I started DJing at the age 15 and made a name for myself (Busta Skratch) the following year but it was in 1998 that I started to learn turntablism full time and became Psykhomantus in 1999. That's also the same year I met the whole crew A Few Good Men ( I knew Roc 1 in 96 and met E Double D in 97, Rhize i met in the group) and practice with them but I wasn't a member of the group then as I wanted to do my own thing. The late 90's, turntablism was at it's peck, The X-Ecutioners, Invisbl Skratch Piklz were the top groups, Scratch Perverts, The Allies were making noise, The BeatJunkies and 5th Platoon and other groups became big too. Battling was getting bigger and better. After my first attempted in 2002s heat, the doors stared to open for other things, I did my first theatre show in 2003 showcasing my turntablism skills on bigger stages and manage to still do theatre production up to this day, DJ workshops and I also do gigs at music festivals plus promote my own club nights. I've become the dream that I wanted to be, I may not have won the Gold Technics 1210s but I've became bigger than that, and that's having a name for myself and is DJ Psykhomantus. I will continue to rock and entertain the world as long as I can live.
