The last 24 hours of 2007 for me has been extremely busy. So busy in fact, that I have not found the time to finish writing my Top 10 albums blog. So ya'll gotta wait until tommorrow for the list. But quickly, there's something I noticed this morning.
I awoke around 7:00 A.M this morning and saw that today brought a beautiful sunrise. I mean, real talk, this image was absolutely gorgeous. Maybe this is a sign of things to come. This next year, 2008, is not going to be A year... it's going to be THE YEAR. I feel change is a coming like Sam Cooke. I am ready for it. So, I'm going to leave ya'll with a jam I have been bangin' all day...
(Just bought the album yesterday. I don't know how I've been sleeping on this cat.)
Well, off to this DJ gig 2nite. Be safe, God bless, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
We are getting closer and closer 2008 as you read this. So with the end of every year, comes our lists for our favorite things. Well, coming tommorrow, is my 10 ten list of my favorite albums this year. But before I give you my list. I wanted to give a quick list of couple albums I enjoyed this year that just missed the list...
1) Sa-Ra: The Hollywood Recordings (Babygrande Records)
Three of the greatest have co-signed. Kanye has co-signed. Dr. Dre has co-signed. J Dilla co-signed. These cats are the truth, possibly the future, and honestly, like nothing else in Hip-Hop, let alone music today. Aside from working the boards for Talib ("Space Fruit"), Jill Scott ("Breathe") and on Erykah Badu's upcoming L.P this year, Sa-Ra dropped "The Hollywood Recordings," 19-Tracks of funked out, souled out.... spaced out music, featuring an all star list artists (Talib Kweli, Erykah Badu, Kurupt, Pharaohe Monch, J Dilla, among others). Advice, come with an open mind before listening to this one. Rewind Material:
2) Consequence- Don't Quit Your Day Job (G.O.O.D Music/Red Ink/Columbia Records)
This one was a long time coming. Orignially debuting as the fourth member of A Tribe Called Quest (if your counting Jarobi, he would be the 5th) on their fourth L.P, "Beats, Rhymes, & Life," Consequence (who is also Tribe member Q-Tip's cousin)made his recording debut. Upon and after the release of "Beats," their where complains of this new member that could have and did disrupt the on-mic chemistry between Phife Dawg and Q-Tip (like some critics complained of the new production style assisted by a up and coming producer by the name of Jay Dee).
But after years it's release, it is safe (and politically correct) to recognize that Cons was a vital tread within that album. I mean, how can you front on his show stealing verse on the 2nd single, "Stressed Out?" But two years later, Tribe broke up, and Consequence disappeared from the scene.
But Cons would soon find make grand return via appearances on Kanye West's first two L.Ps, "College Dropout" ("Spaceship") and "Late Registration" ("Gone"). With Consequence catching the ear of a new generation of Hip-Hop heads, Cons took the experiences of his post-Tribe occupations and made it the foundational theme of his solo debut, "Don't Quit Your Day Job."
Co-Executive Produced by 'Ye, "Don't" is just dope Hip-Hop record from start to finish. From the dope "Nautilus" flip on "Job Song" to breakbeat B-Boy flava on "Callin' Me," to the celebratory Kanye produced "Grammy Family" (feat. John Legend), Cons lyrically shines everytime he steps up to the mic. His best lyrical showing is on the Karriem Riggins produced "Uncle Rahiem," in which Cons tells the story of newly released Uncle and the hell he raises once he moves into Cons's and his Moms' home.
You can't talk about this album without mentioning the hilarious skits, which details and continues the album's storyline of Cons' first day working at a department store ("Quincy Jones. 'Ya Mama' I heard that!!!! LOL!!). With a sold debut solo L.P and various mixtapes under his belt, Consequence may be on track for a promising 2008. Rewind Material
Yeah I know, this track is damn near 4 years old (it was originally intented "College Dropout), but it still bangs.
3) Oh-No- Dr. No's Oxperiment (Stones Throw Records)
It's been a busy year for L.A based indie label, Stones Throw Records. National tours through the NBA 2K8 Bounce Tour, Label president Peanut Butter Wolf's 7 DJ gigs in 7 days in L.A, the release many dope albums such as Madlib's Beat Konducta Vol. 3-4, The Zombie B-Ball Compilation, Percee P's Perseverance and the re-release of J Dilla's underground and hard to find classic, "Ruff Draft."
But among all that, came the Sophomore release of Producer/MC Oh No. With "Dr. No's Oxperiment," not does Oh No steps out of the shadow of his big brother Madlib, but delivers Stones Throw's best release of 2007 (yes, in my imo, it's better than Beat Konducta Vol. 3-4).
Sampling from a diverse collection styles and genres, Oh No takes tracks from Turkish, Labanese, Greek and Italian Rock & funk records, and transforms them with Optimus Prime precision into 28 knocking instrumentals. I can't even verbally describe these beats to you, you just gotta listen to them for yourself. "Dr. No's Oxperiment" is a sonic gem, point blank. WARNING: You may need to buy a neck brace before buy this record. Rewind Material
Be back tomorrow with the 10 top list. I gotta get ready for this new years party I gotta DJ.
(From Allhiphop.com) As Jay-Z vacates his post as Def Jam president, another Def Jam legend is vying for the high-level music industry position. Chuck D of iconic group Public Enemy says he is the person for the job. "After 10 years looking on the collapsing of the record industry, and upon hearing the news of Jay-Z stepping down from Def Jam, I would throw my name into the hat of somebody who understands how the hell Universal should establish the name-brands they acquire with stockholders money."
"So instead of me running for politics, this is an easier run into the world of influential culture," he continued. "I'm in Los Angeles, Atlanta and New York on the regular as well as I [thoroughly understand] the international picture," Chuck said. "There would be some seismic changes, and I would be a little Huey Long-ish at it. If folks are clueless about this parallel that's precisely the problem." Jermaine Dupri, Jimmy "Henchmen" Rosemond and Damon Dash have all been mentioned as potential candidates for the position.
Chuck D outlined his plan for Def Jam, as seen below: 1)Being ahead of the technology curve; preparing for a thinned out industry; and managing budget efficient acts is very noteworthy of my resume which is simple. I told these cats the online revolution was coming and they needed big adjustments. They relied on lawyers, courts, and accountants only to now look upward at Apple, etc.
2)Their cost factors didn't fit the times, I come from a world where the $50,000 investments resulted into 6 - 7 figures. Now it's a business where 7 figures are invested to make 6.
3)I would run it like sports. These artists would be busting their tails on tour and on the stage to gain a fan. They would be coached on how to do their thing right. Braintrust will be high, and subcontracting to the right contributors will be comparable of the efficiency of these labels like Jazz and catalog departments. You cannot have people working, that haven't the slightest clue of what they are in the middle of.
4)Any criminal mindedness in artistry, and management would have sit this one out, go their own way. It's like bad apples the long run ain't got nothing to do with entertainment. You can't mix the stage and off stage parodies.
As much as I would LOVE to see this happen, we all know that more than likely, unfortunately, Jermaine Dupri is going to get the job. Def Jam has, for the most part, turned into an R&B label. Although Def Jam, to Hov's credit, has put out some of the best Hip-Hop albums in the past two years. But they want more of a R&B label dude. And a dude who is not going to bump heads with L.A Reid.
Now, if there are going to move all their R&B acts (Rihanna, Ne-Yo, Christete, etc) to Def Soul and let Def Jam become a FULL HIP-HOP label again, then this could work. But overall, Chuck's ideas is what the industry needs, but is scare to apply yet. But we will see what happens. This could get intresting.
This made be another one to add to Dipset long list of phrases...
(From Allhiphop.com) Cam'ron's crew, The Diplomats recently popped up in an unlikely place: a Disney album. A series of songs from Dip Set's freshman effort, Diplomatic Immunity were found on Disney's Disney Channel Hits CD instead of Hannah Montana tracks. News of the explicit songs surfaced yesterday after a Sacramento family purchased the CD for their daughters. The Dips music found its way to another Disney CD in when Orlando's WESH 2 revealed that a grandmother in the area gave the CD to her granddaughter for Christmas. The grandmother received the CD as a promotional item from a local Toys R Us. When contacted about the issue of the explicit lyrics, Toys R Us responded, saying the retail chain is "only a distributor" and heard about the news when the story originally broke. As of press time, Disney has not commented but has pulled the CD from store shelves.
Wow......... who ever did this..... I tip my Dodger fitted off to you. LMAO!!!! Greatest prank ever!!! I mean come on!!! How do you mixed up tracks from Dip Set and Hanna Montana by accident?!??! This had to be done on purpose.
This was from that album that mix up with Montana's. I remember I used to bump this track back summer of 2003. Imagine these people's reactions when they heard this instead of Hannah Montana:
As a person who competed for 6 years in Speech & Debate (2 in years in Junior High and 4 years in High School) this movie brought back some old memories. More than anything, it reminded me when I was trying to prove myself in these competitions when it was rare to see a face that looked mine. 2005-2006 Loyola High School Debate Team (My senior year)
It is common knowledge that a stereotype of Blacks are we are "unintellgent" and "non-well spoken." So when one may meet or compete again a person who defies that stereotype, it's a total shock. What these characters where trying and did do (and this based on a true story) was defy those sterotypes. Stereotypes that still exist today. Stereotypes that are still trying to be fully broken.
Denzel's character in the movie stated that "Debate is like war. Words is your weapons." I couldn't agree more. I believe knowledge and knowing how to apply that knowledge can give one unbelievable power. It is in our decision and responsiblity in how we use it.
The primary co-curricular activity I wanted be a part of in high school was basketball. I wanted to play if front of hundreds (possibly thousands if we made the championship) of people. I wanted to make my mark. Turns out I would get cut ALL four years. For a while, maybe for most of my high school career, it was hard for me to deal with the fact that I was just going to be a spectator. Sometimes it was tuff for me to go to games and watch my homeboys (many of my closest friends where on the team) have fun on that court.
But as it would turn out, as I would find out later, the activity I ended up competing in for those four years would assist me more now that playin ball. The knowledge, the history, the skills, everything I learned in Speech and Debate I still use today. It has come in handy in business, it has come in handy in journalism and writing, and it has even helped me as in MC. It has helped me in basic day to day life. I also loved the traveling aspect of it as well. Going to places I normally would not have gone to went competing.
Bottom line, I loved this movie. I highly recommended it. It made me reflect and think on various things beyond debating and my high school years. My thoughts can be boiled down to this:
Life is a battlefield, what is your gift or weapon for betterment?
One of the dopest, BUT hard to find mixtapes ever!!! Back around 2004, Pete & 9th did this instrumental album together called "Class Is In Session" and I still can't find that joint. I've only found bits and pieces. But this one right here bangs, with a little help from Phonte on the mic.
Words of advice, just close your eyes and vibe to shit.
1nce Again, Merry Christmas to you all. I hope all of you are having a beautiful Christmas, as I am (Family, Disneyland, and The Lakers being The Suns... "It was a good day" (c) Ice Cube).
It is no secret to those who know me (and to those who read this blog) that my favorite joint of Ye's "Graduation" is "Flashing Lights." I can not wait for the video to drop. I was surfing the net a little bit and found this dope unofficial video made by this cat named Noah Christofer. Now, usually I don't care for "fan made" versions of music videos, but this joint is so dope and professional, it would be disrespectful calling it just a "fan made" jump off. So word up and shout out to Mr. Christofer and everyone involved with this. Ya'll did an excellent job.
1nce again, it is that time of the year again. Just up here, posted up in a Laz-y-Boy, watching The Grinch, lol!!! I have been with the fam constantly for the past couple of days (pics are on the way) and getting ready for another Christmas day. But since it is that time of the year again, I thought I would showcase some the best Christmas moments in Hip-Hop and R&B...
1) Tha Dogg Pound & Nate Dogg- Santa Clause Goes Straight To The Ghetto
The original was by James Brown. I'm going to see if I can find it later...
2)TLC- Sleigh Ride
3) Boyz II Men- Let It Snow
Man, my stepfather WEARS OUT their Christmas album!!!
4)Ludacris- Ludacrismas
I know this just came out, but when I first hear this, it was an instant classic, lol.
5)Kurtis Blow- Christmas Rappin'
If you don't know about Kurtis Blow... please go do your research.
AND OF COURSE... THE KINNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGSSSS..... of Rock!!! 6) RUN-DMC- Christmas In Hollis
I remember hearing this in the club around this time last year. Props to the DJ (who sucked for the most part that night, lol).
Well, gotta bounce. If you wanna get in touch, you can get a hold of me here...
After key contributions to Kweli's "Eardrum" (Holy Moly & Stay Around) and Redman's "Red Gone Wild" (Gimme One), Soul Brother # 1 makes his grand return with his fourth solo album "NY's Finest," his first in nearly four years (Soul Survivor II was released in 2004).
Personally, in the last couple years, I have really gotten into The PR. Although I was aware and a fan of his many classic records (including "T.R.O.Y." from Mecca And The Soul Brother), I didn't start really listening and dissecting his productions until about 2 years ago. This should be very dope.
The first single...

Interview With Funk Flex feat. DJ Premier (PREEMO!!!)
Interview with Peter Rosenberg with Preemo and 9th Wonder
Image piece together by your energy and others interpretation. Solidified in their mind as character placement. Many go to the source for their testament. Or believe any information their way was sent. And this is dangerous because it can grow into a monster. And everyone can co-sign the beast to sponsor. And who you are is lost in the court of public opinion. And build up or build down as society’s minion.
On the flipside, we create our own persona. But these personas can block us from our personal nirvana. Now we’re a character on our own stage. With a new scrip everyday, turn a new page. And feel entitled to uphold that image. While who you are is slowly diminished. Where you can’t recognize yourself or your reflection. Where everyday is a new you and another first impression.
Well I refuse to let another person write my scrip. Rather my story be factual and not a myth. Excuse me if I’m a little opinionated. Cause walking that line between honestly and insult is ill fated. But I don’t apologize for being sarcastic. ‘Cause some of ya’ll are faker than surgery with plastic. If ya’ll don’t say it, I guess I feel obligated. Let’s not evade it, rather conversation it. A girl said once, “They said you were crazy, but actually pretty cool.” Ha! I didn’t know I had an audience to fool. You can make the image, but I sure as hell can break it down. Mirror, Mirror on the wall… who am I now?
Since I'm trying to go all out for this 100th post, I thought the appropriate thing to do would be show love and respect to the group that started my love for Hip-Hop...
Hailing from Illadelphia (Word To The Roots), the duo of DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince is one of the reasons why Hip-Hop is so worldwide today. Let's run down their resume... 1) 11 Albums Deep (Combining their group and solo albums) Millions of records sold. 2) First Hip-Hop grammy (In 1989, for Parents Just Don't Understand) 3) Along with Ice Cube and Kid & Play, paved the way for Hip-Hop artists in acting. Will is one of the biggest stars in Hollywood today. As a matter of fact, he just implanted his hands in front of Mann's Chinese Theatre this week. 4) Jeff (along with DJ Cash Money) developed the "Transformer" scratch 5) Jeff is one biggest draws as a DJ for parties, as he still tours worldwide.
Beyond their list of accomplishments, they influenced and captured the imagine of so many future MCs, DJs, and Producers, one of them being me. Let's start with album, with me, that started it all...
He's he DJ, I Am The Rapper Released March 29, 1988. 10 days before I was born).
I remember my father having this vinyl (it was a double vinyl album at that) and me trying to scratch with on this old record player he had.
Parents Just Don't Understand
Brand New Funk
Now let's fast forward to their last musicial projects
Will's "Lost & Found"
Switch
Party Starter
Jeff's "The Return Of The Magnificent" This is one of my favorite albums this year
Brand New Funk 2K7
The Return Of The Magnificent Podcast Episode 1:
Episode 2:
Episode 3:
My favorite track on the album This track made me a fan of J Live as well.
It been reported when Will is promoting his new movie "Hancock" this summer, he and Jeff will embark on a world tour. It's has also rumored that he will Jeff will record an album together. I hoping for that one.
Now to make this come full circle, I forgot my homeboy put this up on Youtube. This was H.F.P.'s VERY FIRST show. This was last November @ school. It was myself, A.D, and Paul, with Dre as the DJ. The song we were perfoming was called "With Us (Close Your Eyes" from our H.F.P's first group LP, "Fall 2 Greatness."
The funny thing about that show was there technically was not a sound engineer, so you can see me running back and forth during the performance trying to balance out the mics, lol!! Plus, Paul pulled his hamstring that day in swimming class, so that is why he could not move as much around stage. Plus the stage was small was no bigger than 10-12 feet.
Oh, small little bonus for male readers, this is a Pepsi commerical I found with J. Lo & Beyonce which I believe is from Egypt. Hey, this is a party, I had bring some 25pieces (yeah, I said they are 25 pieces, not dimes, lol).
I was thinking about this video today. And although I had a good laugh like everyone else watching this, I also thought to myself, this is the reason why MCs can't battle anymore, ESPECIALLY on record. People be taking things to personal. I see battling just like a sport, "You win some, you lose some, but you live to fight another day," (c) John Witherspoon In Friday. All this getting mad and then taking off on somebody is not only unsportsment like, but damn near bitch made.
The aftermath and explanations...
smh... "Sensitive thugs, ya'll need hugs." (c) Jay-Z

During my childhood, Monday night, 9 P.M, Thursday night, 8 P.M and then watch all the highlights during the weekends at 10:00 A.M Saturday and Sunday (Sunday if I didn't go church that day). Even though to this day I'm still a pro wrestling fan, it's not the same as when it was during the "Attitude" Era (1997-2004). The two superstars that represent that era more than anyone would be "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and this dude right here, "The People's Champ," The Rock.
And while the Rock's matches (especially when they were with Austin) were instant classics, what was even more classic was his promos. In pro wrestling terms, promos were when each wrestler had their chance to talk shit about the his or her opponent. And when it comes to promos, NO ONE delivered like The Rock. To this day, these clips still me cry outta laughter...
NOTE: Some of these jokes are inside jokes that only wrestling fans will get...
Exhibit A: The Rock & NWO...
Exhibit B: The Rock talking about Chris Jericho before the '02 Royal Rumble on Smackdown...
Exhibit C: On Raw, a week before a 5 way "Hell In The Cell" match @ '98 Armageddon Pay-Per-View
Exhibit D: The Rock & The Coach before he faced Hulk Hogan for the first time @ Wrestlemania 18 in 2002. I remember see this one live. I laugh everytime I rewatch this one tape. "What in the blue hell is wrong with YOU!?!? WUD UP G!?!?" LMAO!!!
Exhibit E: The Rock singing "La Bamba" to the late, great Eddie Guerrero
Exhibit F: The Best of 1999 (One of the best years in wrestling history)
Exhibit G: Last but not least, "Rock... This is your life," (c) Mankind. This is Reportedly the highest rated segment in Monday Night Raw History. Part 1:
My exact words when I was on Okayplayer and saw a post for the video for "Success," one of my favorite (if not my favorite) track of Hov's American Gangster. Jay & Nas in a video??!? Haaaa!?!? I'm hyped!!! So here you go, (In my loud echo voice) WORLD PREMIERE!!!!
Sike!!! LOL!! Yeah, that shit got me too, LMAO!!! And that shit came on hard too. But then, WTF!?!!? LMAO!!! FYI the dude in the video is Rick Ashley. The song is called "Never Gonna Give You Up." It was a big single in the 80's. (Sighs) Oh well, back to studying, lol!!
This is a behind the scenes look at the new video for Buckshot & 9th Wonder's new cut, "No Doubt," directed by Du Ha & Rik Cordero, and features (In My Rick James Voice): CHARLIEEEE MURPHYYY!!!! This is off their new album, "The Formula," droppin' this March. Duck Down has been doin some big things lately. They linked up deals with ESPN, The History Channel (yes, THE History Channel), and signed Kidz In The Hall and legends Diamond D AND KRS-ONE in the last couple months.
And if you haven't, pick up Buck & 9th's first joint 2gether, "Chemistry." This had some dope shit on it...
From ?uestlove's newest blog. The Legendary's reaction to the now infamous "2Girls1Cup" tape. Fortunately, I have not taken the time to see this tape. UNFORTUNATELY... I have been told the nasty details.
....all I gotta say is, those are some nasty ass heifers yo, lol!!!
Their reaction, ESPECIALLY ?uesto's is classic, lol!!
The Mighty Mos Def On "Real Time With Bill Mayer." (I can't believe I missed this the first time around on T.V).
I appreciate (and sometimes love) Mos' singing. I wish sometimes I had to the ability to blow like Mos, with the ability I have to rhyme. But seeing and listening to shit like this sometimes pisses me off. I wish he would get back to rhymin' circles around cats. We need that in Hip-Hop right now. He just signed a new deal with Downtown Recordings (home to Gnarls Barkley) and so far has Kanye, Madlib & On No on the beats. That should be live...
This from the documentary "Freestyle: The Art of Rhyme."
And bump what you heard, this was a dope L.P...
People be vibin' when I throw this on @ a party...
"It's like one for the treble, two for the bass, make no mistake, you rockin with Black Dante... The Undeniable."
This post started with P's Facebook update a couple days ago. Refering to Craig Mack's verse on G. Dep's "Special Delivery." Then it led to this blog... Then, Ham and I started talking about which verison was better, the orignial or the remix? Well, I thought I would "Harlem Shake" my way down memory lane and bring back these joints. And I must say, even after dropping damn near 6 years ago, these records still knock like Jehovah Witness on Saturday mornings.
Sidenote- When Diddy, G. Dep, and Black Rob made records together during this period, they were known as "Three The Hard Way."
The Original:
This Is The...Remix:
And of course, I had to bring this record back. Don't lie that you weren't tryin do the Harlem Shake after seeing this shit, lol!!
And On That Note... I'm Out.

(From Allhiphop.com)
UGK group member Chad “Pimp C” Butler was found dead in a hotel room this morning, according to reports. Firefighters responded to a 911 call placed from the Mondrian Hotel on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, California. The rapper was found dead in his bed in a sixth floor hotel room. Details are still emerging.
Man this is too much. We losing too many... in this year alone. Yo, Spice 1 was just shot yesterday (shouts out to him and to a speedy recovery), and now this shit. I don't even know what the fuck the say. R.I.P...
Hotdamn, the smell of you breathes erotic. I don’t know why for so long we fought it. Damn near break my neck to see your entrance. Fly essence, flaunting, strutting like a temptress. Meet eye contact, your mouth forms a smirk. Both our hearts beating wildly inside our shirts. From there, my thoughts of you became vivid. Fantasy turn to reality and I start to live it.
I unwrap you, view your buried treasure. Whisper in my ear many ways to pleasure. Grabbed my hand, took me to lover’s rock. Spread our wings, take fight like a winter flock. Lips to lips, hips to neck, lips to breast, breath to breath. Your body is a journey, I’m just tryin’ to reach the depths. Dressed naturally, you invite me to have you. The feeling of me inside you starts to flash through.
The pace starts slow, bites my ear lobe. You’re beautiful in many ways as you have shown. Voluptuous curves, tryin’ not to drive off the cliff. Nails dug in my back as your hair starts to flip. Legs rapped around, I continue to explode the core of you. As I break the barriers, the more I want of you. I swear I’m seeing stars, triple jumping planets. First phase, second phase, third phase, I landed.
Stereo vibrations, floor to bed post. Feeling sunlight, fresh breeze like off the coast. Reaching are destination, red light flashes. Next to your fire, I can feel the ashes. Reaching pleasure’s paradise, we grab a slice. Lose your breath twice, screaming “Baby hold me tight!” Ultimate freefall, up like elevators. Release… now equal ground like equators.
Hands holdin’, body drenched in cold sweat. Seeing the freak in you, something I will never forget. Next morning, outta bed, robe to retrieve. Lookin’ at you like “Damn! That’s me.” Crackin jokes, we laughin’, you show that smirk. Got me going again, always knew you a flirt. Up in the clouds, this moment I’m trying to saver…
Damn, I still got type this History paper.
My imagination was runnin like a marathon when I wrote this, lol!!! I had this song in my head when I wrote this. But unlike my poem, Com was touching on another subject (no pun intended).
