Last weekend the crew went and checked out the Boot Camp Clique show that rolled through S.F….Unfortunately I was unable to make it this time around due to all types of prior engagements….From what I heard the show was out of control, with all original members going the extra mile during their set…
Thankfully with the aid of the internet I was able to watch the show in it’s entirety…..
So grab that popcorn, tilt your chair back and prepare for over an hour of BCC chaos from the Le Poisson Rouge Lounge in NYC…
Everyone needs a little more Marvin Gaye in their life if you ask me….
DJ Spinna mans the turntables for an explosive showcase of soul power, grand grooves, and all that other fly shit !
“Here’s the sequel to the Marvin B-Day mix I did two years ago. Sorry I took so long to get this done but I believe the length of this one will make up for lost time. This mix is almost two hours long and filled with burners. Classics, a few unheard remixes and reworks by my brother Kenny Dope, John Morales, Salaam Remi and myself, unreleased nuggets of some thangs and rare album cuts, singles and alternate takes of other thangs. I even snuck in Donny Hathaway’s version of ‘What’s Going On’ as it’s probably my favorite Marvin cover of all time. Spread the word” !…
Kool Sphere (Verbal Threat) is widely known for his hand styles in graff circles, but this Queens native also gets busy with the bars..On his latest mixtape he proves that he also has a good ear when it comes to picking solid beats…

* In the above pic Kufue Onerz and myself cold chilling after he finished his piece, which is very ill by the way….Originally posted 12/20/2010..
Over the years I have hit ya’ll with a healthy helping of remixes……If you have paid close attention you would notice that my production palette consist of many different colors….Instead of resting on my laurels I try my hardest to push the boundries of my ever expanding record collection….
Anyway, Defenders Of The Faith (Checkmate & Concise) are a duo from Vancouver, British Columbia that deserve more recognition for their brand of heat….Back in 2000 they put out Bait & Switch b/w These Days & Times on their own “Double Up” record label….
These Days & Times was the winner for me……Production by Mr. Attic (Grassroots) with extra swift scratches by Lil Jaz (Remember him ?)…….Over the years they have put out many singles, mixtapes, and an album or two…..I’m surprised more cats in the States aren’t aware of them, because when I headed up to Vancouver a year ago, they were a household name…..
I decided to give them the remix face-lift, and add my own grime to the mix………Things got so out of hand that the motherfuckin electricity went out (Seriously)…..
Once the power was restored, I had to start from scratch and try to put the production puzzle back together………MISSION ACCOMPLISHED…….
So strap on your parachute, lace up those combat boots, tighten up your war goggles- I’M GOING IN !!!
* If you have wack computer speakers you are not going to hear the low end science properly……
Take a listen- “These Days & Times”- Drasar Monumental Remix…
And just to keep it 100- Here is a video from the Defenders, “Make Money-2009″…….VANCITY STAND UP..
If you order one of the limited vinyl presses of Fred Beanz newest single “What It Is”, you get a T-Shirt designed by the Bronx Bomber Mr. T.R. Love (peep the above flick)…..I can’t even front, the shirt alone is already worth the cheese if you ask me !!!
Big Diamond D is back on the set with more goodies for all you die-hard DITC fans like myself…..”Deflate Cha” features a inspired D on the boards and on the mic device…
What’s going on out there HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD posse ?
Is this work week wearing you the fuck out ?….I feel you, it’s times like these that I turn off the cell phone and turn the volume up on the sound system to drown out all the nonsense that the daily grind throws in my direction…
“FTTLTG” is 36 chapters deep at this point….DAMN..
And in case you didn’t know my inspiration for this segment came from those New Jersey brothers Twin Hype….On their first album they had a fresh song called “For Those That Like To Groove”, so I decided to keep that spirit alive by adding on…
This time around the good folks over at Voodoo Funk splash the set with a Nigerian funk mix….Over an hour of body rockers troop !!!
Since I already posted up two DJ Calhoun mixes in the last couple months, I might as well slap you with another one…
The “79 MN Zoo Mix” features over an hour of nonstop blazers that will catch your attention….Doubles, cuts, and under the radar selections is the Modus Operandi folks…
Former Def Jukie “Masai Bey” is in a class by himself when it comes to flipping bars….
Seriously…….
I can’t think of anyone out there that sounds remotely close to what he is doing…On “Panacea Goldmine” the bugged out frequencies reach an all time high….
PEEP..
Produced and written by Masai Bey for Masai Bey Music (ASCAP). All tracks recorded and mixed by Khem at ABZU, except tracks 11 & 12 which were recorded and mixed by Steve Z. and BMS @ Ecstatica. Additional audio work was done to all tracks by Nasa @ Nasa Labs. Turntables by Khem and Masai Bey.
It’s a crying shame that Fishbone haven’t received the accolades that they deserve….
After 25 years in the music BUSINESS, countless tours, and major label support in the beginning of their career, the band still remains under the radar somewhat…..So many groups copied their whole steez and reaped huge benefits without paying proper homage…
What does this have to do with Hip Hop you might ask yourself ?
1..Fishbone have maintained their initial anti mainstream stance….
2..Instead of falling victim to current trends, the band still unleashes their form of original music..
3..They truly do not give a fuck (sounds like Hip Hop to me)….
Just peeped their documentary “Everyday Sunshine” and it instantly put me in a heavy trance…….I highly suggest that you track down a copy if you know what’s best for you…
