Jam of the Week - Danny Boy - Steppin'

2010-04-21T18:10:00.000-07:00

This is my jam! Fresh from 4/20, Death Row/Wideawake releases Danny Boy's long awaited debut album with a majority of the production handled by DJ Quik! My favorite cut off the album is "Steppin" that features the classic DJ Quik/G-One sound many of us grew to love in the 90's into the 2000's. Danny Boy was always one of my favorite R&B artist of the 90's and he never released an album! Hopefully Wideawake will wake up this year and release an O.G. 2Pac album! But don't forget Danny Boy's "It's About Time" is available in stores and online!

R.I.P. Guru

2010-04-20T03:30:00.000-07:00

Incredible lyricist and Gangstarr frontman Keith "Guru" Elam passed away April 19th after a battle with cancer. He was just 43 years old. Now I grew up listening to Gangstarr thanks to my big bro. He had all of the Gangstarr tapes/CD's and his first two Jazzmatazz releases. Something about Gurus voice over Premiers beats was what my definition of hip-hop was as a kid. I have mixed feelings about this, because although Guru was a talented artist, after reading the letter Guru supposedly "wrote", he seems to bash a certain ex-dj. Now I personally don't know the background story behind Gangstarrs split, but it has come to my attention the bitterness Guru expressed towards Premier in interviews up till his passing. Seems like that Solar dude is on his business. To me when I think of Guru, Gangstarr is the first thing that comes to mind and nothing will ever change that. I'd have to say the groups 1998 album "Moment of Truth" is one of my favorite Hip-Hop albums of all-time. The first beat I rhymed on tape to was "You Know My Steez"! So rest in peace Guru, you truly were and are...Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal. Peace

Timeless Screening with J.Rocc x Afterparty

2010-04-19T00:17:00.001-07:00

With

* B+ (Mochilla – LA)
* Coleman (Mochilla – LA)
* Sean Cee

at HG Lodge

Timeless because a heart beat is always more important than a clock tick.

Timeless, featuring the works of J Dilla (Suite for Ma Dukes), Mulatu Astatke and Arthur Verocai will screen its Seattle premiere Friday April 30 at 6 p.m. in Seattle Art Museum’s Nordstrom Lecture Hall. Rather than showing all three films back to back or a screener edit of all three films, we will instead do something historic: J Rocc of the World Famous Beat Junkies—possibly the greatest DJ on the planet right now—will DJ all three films, using the latest Serato technology. J Rocc will be manipulating the films using vinyl on turntables to control the hi-res film files, creating an amazing megamix of all three films. This, as far as we know, has never been done to premier a film or indeed a series of films ever. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with composer Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, director B+ and co-director Eric Coleman.

Later that evening, we’ll celebrate Timeless with an after-party DJ’ed by J Rocc, and B+ and Coleman of Mochilla. The afterparty will be held at the recently opened HG Lodge at 722 E. Pike Street on Seattle’s Capitol Hill.

More details on Timeless can be found below.....

Malcolm Mclaren R.I.P.

2010-04-09T01:36:00.000-07:00

Rest in peace to UK artist/manager Malcolm Mclaren. I absolutely loved his Duck Rock LP, which featured the hit "Buffalo Gals", one of the first music videos to introduce hip-hop and especially b-boying to the U.K. Didn't know dude was also the manager of the legendary Sex Pistols! But my favorite would have to be "World Famous (Radio I.D.)" off of the "D'ya Like Scratchin?" LP. When the group The Firm sampled it for "Firm Biz (remix)", I remember my friends and I were geeked when we found the original! So big ups to Malcolm, remember if it wasn't him we also wouldn't have the classic "Hey DJ"! Check out the video for "Buffalo Gals".....

Notorious: Behind The Scenes

2008-12-11T10:59:00.000-08:00

Straight Jacked from MTV.com

"I want to make it feel like a concert," director George Tillman Jr. said during a visit to the set of the Notorious B.I.G. biopic, which hits theaters January 16. "Like you're right there in the middle of a show. ... On that day, it felt like I was performing with [Big], 'cause you go out backstage to shoot scenes, you see entourages, you see people with their own cliques hanging out. I felt like I was with a rap star."

"Performances, that's what I do" said Jamal "Gravy" Woolard, who plays Biggie in the film. "I'm gonna make you feel like you see him up there. Like he's not gone. That's what I got to do."

---I can't wait for this movie to come out. I've been waiting for a year since I heard this film was in production. I'm glad that this movie was shot as a bio-pic and not as a documentary. To see Hollywood's take on the Brooklyn legend, i'll spend that $10. I might even get a box of sour patch kids! Fox Searchlight put together a great website, CLICK HERE, blogging about the status of the film. 'Notorious' hits theaters January 16th!

---The soundtrack (CLICK TO PRE-ORDER) hits stores and iTunes January 13th and features some of Biggie's classics as well as a few new tracks by Jay-Z, Jadakiss, and even features 3 unreleased demos from BIG just recently discovered.

DJ Don Cannon Leaves Aphilliates

2008-12-10T12:11:00.000-08:00

Straight Jacked from hiphopdx.com.....

"December 10th, 2008 Author: Omar Burgess

After working with the Aphilliates on an official album and countless mixtapes, DJ Don Cannon confirmed he left Aphilliates Music Group via press release yesterday. Cannon will now be managed by Disturbing Tha Peace co-founders Chaka Zulu and Jeff Dixon.

"The split is merely a business and creative difference, musically, nothing to do with the personal relationship. We are on good terms, and speak often," Cannon stated.

The press release also states Cannon and AMG officially parted ways back in January "due to business and creative differences for the vision of Cannon Music, LLC." In addition to the trademark "Cannon" drop found on many of his tracks, Cannon's production work includes "Everybody Hates Chris" by Ludacris, "Go Crazy" by Young Jeezy and 50 Cent's "Man Down." Together, Cannon and DJ Drama created critically acclaimed mixtapes such as Lil Wayne's Dedication series, T.I. and P$C Meet in the Streets and Young Jeezy's Trap or Die.

Cannon did the majority of his work behind the scenes as a co-CEO of Aphilliates Music Group. His name made headlines in 2007 when he and DJ Drama were arrested on charges of bootlegging and racketeering for making industry sanctioned mixtapes. Since then, Cannon has done production and engineering work on dozens of albums. He was also named Mixtape Producer of the Year at the 11th Annual Mixtape Awards in May."

--I've always liked dude's beats. There sample heavy and southern artists fuck with him. There was this dope mixtape that the Aphilliates did a while back where they featured original samples, i guess we won't be hearing anymore of those anytime soon!

Go Cop That Common LP!

2008-12-09T11:28:00.000-08:00

Today, Common's 8th studio album hits stores and iTunes. Make sure to go out and support the artists! I've read a few reviews and most people are hating on this album. Some are even saying The Neptunes fell off. Now, after listening to the album, i'll admit, it's more 'Electric Circus' than it is 'Be'. Common's golden child Kanye West (who co-executive produced this album w/ The Neptunes) only appears once on the LP on the track "Punch Drunk Love". Which is a favorite of mine. I dig this album overall, although I will be skipping over a few cuts.

I know I haven't posted any R&B stuff so I dug deep and found this classic jam. The song was released as the third single from SWV's album "It's About Time", following the top ten success of "I'm So into You". "Weak" hit number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in July 1993 for two weeks, and is one of SWV's biggest U.S. chart-toppers. It also topped the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs for two weeks. This one has a gang of different mixes of the track.

Erykah Badu Preps "Nu AmErykah"

2007-12-11T09:07:00.001-08:00

After a four year hiatus, afro-sporting soul siren, Erykah Badu, is set to release her fourth LP in the coming months entitled Nu AmErykah.

According to Billboard, the double-disc, which is set to hit shelves on February 26, had its final title announced this past Thursday (December 6) in front of a select group of fans inside of New York's Electric Lady Studios. The album will feature 18 new tracks that will be distributed over two separately sold discs and will be Badu's follow up to 2003's Worldwide Underground.

"I named this album 'Nu AmErykah' because I'm dealing with whatever is to come instead of what was," said Badu. "In taking on a project like this, I'm taking the responsibility to talk for my race and my planet. I'm sure the record company will make their money and they've given me the blessing of time."

Vowing to make this latest effort a success, Badu intends on treating this release differently than Worldwide Underground, an album that she admittedly "didn't feel like doing the whole promotional circuit for" because she had just given birth. The CD will also see her linking up with a host of widely known producers including 9th Wonder, who provided the backdrop for the record's lead single "Honey."

"I dug deep down into the bottom of my hip-hop coin purse to find some of the freshest scientific, mathematical absurd geniuses that I could connect with because I was feeling pretty twisted myself," Badu said in an interview to SOHH.

"The scientists I was dealing with was J Dilla, Madlib, Sa-Ra, 9th Wonder, Kareem Riggins [and] Rashad Smith to name a few," she added. "All of these people have a reputation for being visionaries and knowing them well, I felt 'Okay, now it's time to put together a project that not only takes us to another place, another dimension, but highlights these sights."

Badu also has the full backing of her recording home, Motown, who says they have been anticipating an album of this magnitude for quite some time.

"We've waited almost 10 years for this album to come," said Universal executive vice president and Motown president Sylvia Rhone. "She inspires, sets trends and does music that no one's done before. Male, female, black [and] white can listen to her and come away with something."

Nu AmErykah will hit stores on February 26 on Universal/Motown

Bun B speaks on Pimp C's Passing

2007-12-08T23:47:00.001-08:00

MTV recently sat down with UGK's Bun B and talk to him about his partner Pimp C's untimely passing. Don't forget to check out there classic video "Suppose To Bubble" which features an ill sample of Pleasure's "Thought's of Old Flames".

MTV: You've said that rapping was a hobby at first and not your dream, but that music was something Pimp cared about deeply. Can you tell us how important music was to Pimp?

Bun B: Pimp was very respectful of the [musicians] that came before him. R&B, jazz, different blues and stuff; he was a big Wes Montgomery fan, he was a big [John] Coltrane fan, he was a George Benson fan. He was really respectful of music in that sense and he was respectful of the fact that he knew the opinions and the way that our elders looked at our music at the time; this was in our earliest inception. His father was a musician and was highly critical of rap itself — not him but rap in general, the old saying that it's a bunch of noise. Above all things, he wanted to show the musical inclinations of UGK — we didn't just sample the music. Pimp worked very hard to get live musicians to play music and record live organ sounds. And reaching out to Leo Nocentelli from [New Orleans funk legends] the Meters and saying, "I want this sound on the guitar and nobody can really play this sound on the guitar but this man," and going to the man and asking him, would he do it? And imagine one of the Meters — instead of sampling them, having one of the guys there playing the riff for you. That was his commitment. And because of [Pimp's] love ... that was the reason a person like that would consider recording with some 20-year-old kids from Port Arthur, Texas. And he was extremely, extremely passionate about showing that. If nothing else, UGK's music was at its very least musical. It had a full, rich sound. And that's kind of what separated our music from a lot of people, it had that live instrumentation.

MTV: When I talked to Slim Thug this week, he compared Pimp to Lil Jon in terms of laying the foundation for Texas' sound like Jon did for Atlanta. But our own Sway made the comparison of Pimp and Jam Master Jay, as far as the swagger behind the group.

Bun B: I kind of understand where you draw the distinction from. And believe me, that is extremely high company to be held next to, and I appreciate the compliment. I'm sure [Pimp] does too. I sit and I think about what you're saying right now and there really is no one to compare him to, for me. And I guess that's how close I am to the situation in general. Keep in mind, his favorite rapper was Run. I totally understand the Jam Master Jay-swagger reference. If you really look at it, Bun B and Pimp C — Run-DMC. We definitely derived a lot from not only them, but our peers: the Whodinis and the EPMDs and the Geto Boys. We learned a lot from all of those people. His swagger, though, I have to say, it was definitely influenced by the Big Daddy Kanes and the Run-DMCs, and even the Steady Bs and Cool Cs of the world. We listened to it all: Eazy and Cube and Too Short and all these people. At the end of the day, when it's all summed up, [though,] he was uniquely Pimp.

MTV: Pimp was recently in the news for some outspoken comments he made about Atlanta not really being "the South," and some unflattering comments about his peers. But instead of these comments painting him in a negative light, in ways they humanized him as a real person, not just a rapper.

Bun B: He was passionate. He wanted to be as honest with people as he could — almost to a fault, you know? And it's just ... it's kind of hard to really put a lot of that into words, the kind of man he was. But everything he loved — everyone he loved — he loved hard and embraced it fully. He was very passionate if he felt a certain way about things; he couldn't hold it in, he couldn't filter himself, he couldn't be politically correct. It just wasn't in him to not say what he felt. Whether he felt he was right or wrong at the time, he spoke from his heart. He said a lot of things over the years to a lot of different people about a lot of subjects. And at the end of the day, even if you didn't agree with him, you have to give him credit and respect the fact he was willing to stand by what he said. So many people can be wishy-washy about statements and what they do, and very few give a damn about anything anymore. You know what I'm saying? And he really cared about everything and everyone, and just wanted everyone to be their best. He wanted rap to be the best. He wanted Southern hip-hop to be the best. He wanted everyone involved to be the best. He never looked down on anybody. He never made anybody feel small. He tried to uplift, especially. Sometimes that honesty can come across the wrong way, and sometimes it can be taken the wrong way, and sometimes people don't want to hear it. And that's why, even though if I [didn't agree with] how he felt, I couldn't tell him to not speak from his heart. There's a lot of things that we didn't agree on. There's a lot of opinions I had on things that he didn't agree on, but he was down with me. It was documented he didn't want to do [the Jay-Z collaboration] "Big Pimpin'," but he rolled with me on that. And that's just the relationship we had. That's just the kind of person that he was. He didn't know how to love a little; he didn't know how to care a little.

MTV: He didn't want to do "Big Pimpin'," but with "Int'l Players Anthem," he was behind that one and ...

Bun B: Yeah, I initially didn't want to do it. But [that song], the way you think of it, it's not the one that we set out to create; it ain't the one that you hear now. It went through a series of changes. That was a song that he heard on Project Pat's album and was like, "Yo, I really want to rap to that." And I was like, "Why would you want to rap to a beat that someone already rapped to?" He was like, "Because it's jamming, the record label didn't really promote it, and people didn't really hear that beat. DJ Paul and them made such a great beat, Pat went off on it, nobody got to hear that track! It's too jamming to just let go away like that, we need to bring it back." We have different moments where there's different songs that he wants to do that I feel like I don't want to do or feel like we don't need to do. But I trusted his judgment and at the same time he trusted mine.

MTV: UGK were in pursuit of recognition for so long and it got to the point where the group's influence was overwhelmingly recognized. And for Pimp, he was in jail when the recognition began to enter its heights, but the last two years for him were the fruition of that journey. It's almost as if everything came full circle.

Bun B: I just got a call about a few hours ago that we got a Grammy nomination. Me and my VP from Jive [Records] were talking about this, because we been on this label for 15 years. We've known these people longer than we've known a lot of people in our lives. And he can always remember Pimp telling him, "We going to the Grammys," and them looking at this little kid from Port Arthur like he's crazy: "He may make some good music and sell a few records, but what they do? That kind of stuff doesn't go to the Grammys." And 15 years later, a song I told him we shouldn't do and he was adamant about it — and he got his Grammy nomination just like he always wanted. I'm so happy for him. I'm so proud of him. Because he did it exactly like he wanted to do it: on his terms. We had a nomination before with Jay-Z — and we were very blessed and honored for that. But that was Jay featuring us — this one was us. Not taking anything away from Outkast, because that definitely comes into play. But at the same time, us putting Outkast on the record was his vision — seeing things a little further — and God putting together a plan for us. [He pauses.] I'm really happy for him. I know he just popped a bottle! Because in all honestly, this is what he wanted [to win a Grammy]. He's gonna put a Grammy on his mama's shelf. He's gonna put a Grammy on his mama's shelf, man. [He pauses again.]

MTV: How important has the fan support been for you and Pimp's family?

Bun B: I know I'm not alone in my grief and my pain. And it's not just his family and closest friends — there was a lot of people who loved him, there was a lot of people that were hurt before, when he went to prison, and they carried us so far and held us up for so long. They brought us to where we are right now. I know they're hurting right now. I feel their pain, I hear their prayers, I hear them on the radio. And I thank them and I love them, and I just want them to know Pimp loved them too. There's nothing more that Pimp loved more beside his family and children than his fans. He appreciated them so dearly. And he knew what it meant because of the way he loved music, and the way he loved different people and to be admired like that. I just thank the fans for not being afraid to call in and say how much they loved him. Because his family and friends and myself included, we all need to hear that, and it's good to know that. I'm not alone right now. It's really good to know that, and I thank them for it. And I love them and he loved them, too.
