Idris Elba's music


Rubin Farr

Recommended Posts

Agter seeeing the great Idris in the not so great Avengers 2, I decided to look up some of his mixes and tracks. He started as a DJ and drug dealer, then lucked out and got into Hollywood, he is a handsome bloke. His house stuff is pretty samey, but his hip hop remixes are pretty good. He'll occasionally lend a verse, but I like his chilled beats. His Mandela album left me cold. Just getting into Luther, anyone else a fan of this multi-talented man?

i guess i am even though i'm not too familiar with his non acting work. i think he also had (or will be having) a show about his car racing on bbc america. i really liked him in no good deed even though it's a shitty film, i found it fun and it has now become a guilty pleasure

 

do you have links to his music stuff?

I had to hunt down his remixes on iTunes, mostly good. Unless you are really into South African heritage, I'd skip the Mandella LP.

He varies greatly in quality, tried to rap at first, then the soul tracks. He's been DJing since 1991, so he's had a long musical life. And sold a lot of weed according to Dave Chapelle.

He will always have a pass in my book for The Wire, plus he's from Hackney, that place is a shithole so he done good.

 

Next Bond.
