” Vin Rock ” from the ” Triple Threat ” crew just sent me this brand spanking new mixtape to drop on your head..You already know that ” V ” is no fuckin joke on the decks..After years of battling it is good to see him still doing his thing…

Salute..

This is what he had to say regarding his latest project ( Human Highlight Mix )….

” Well recently I was asked to put a little promo mix together by Packer Shoes for Dominique aka “The Human Highlight Film” and the 20th Anniversary release of the Reebok Pump! Anyone growing up in the 80’s had a pair or had a homie who made sure his shoes were pumped before he hit the Bball court after school! I use to swear my vertical went up by at least 2 inches wearing them joints! So I put this mix together to commemorate his career and put together some tracks that were out during his time. Kind of like a soundtrack to his life and times. Bet y’all didn’t know Nique was not selected to the top 50 greatest playes of all time.WTF? Somebody go wake Commissioner Stern up. Thanks to Mike at Packer shoes for making me part of this project. I feel like finding an ATL Hawks throwback jersey and tryin to slam on fools! Or an aggressive lay up….Get the free download here folks! Dj Vinroc-“The Human Highlight Film!” Mix “

Even though Winter is in full effect, I’m still in a Summer time state of mind..So I decided to head over to my homeboy ” D.J. Mane One’s spot ( The 1520 Sedgwick Ave. D.J.’s ) to see what he had poppin on his very thorough ” Super B Beat Show “….

Damnnn…They don’t even play games when it comes to those breaks duke….They even invited ” D.J. Groovy ” from Brazil to lay down some nasty heaters….If your looking for that perfect beat to jump start your weekend, look no further…

Also the segment, ” Songs You should Never Play At A B- Boy Jam ” had me dying……Peace to my dudes in S.D. who keep it fresh: Mane, Daze, Nicknayme, W.S.T., Izzy, S.D.’Z’s, etc….

Peace to all Z’s worldwide..Every chapter, past and present …..May you all be blessed with health, guidance and prosperity..

Just copped this book by Rick James, “Memoirs Of A Super Freak”…..So far so good…I knew it would be filled with ill stories about partying, heavy drug abuse, and all that other wild shit, but I also wanted to find out about what made Rick tick, and his philosophies about music…

The dude was a musical genius…After the James Brown/ George Clinton era, Rick was one of the main dudes to carry the funk into the future…Here are a couple facts about Rick that you might not have known…

1…He used to be in a group with Neil Young while he lived in Toronto, Canada…

2…The reason why Rick was in Canada in the first place, was because he went A.W.O.L. after finding out he was about to be sent to Vietnam…

3…Dude had his own record label ( Stone City Records )

4…Twenty five ” Top 40 ” singles…

5…Six platinum records…

6…Won a Grammy when it actually meant something..

7…Recieved advances of more than a million dollars per album…

8…Served a 3 year prison sentence..

9…His real name was James Ambrose Johnson, Jr….

I could go on forever, but I don’t want to spoil the book for you….You can get your own copy HERE

And to all you cats that summed up Rick’s life with a catch phrase or a silly cocaine joke, you might feel differently after reading the pages of this very personal, in-depth book….R.I.P.

Your favorite “Chef ” is currently on tour to support the success of “CL2″….If he comes through your city, you already know what time it is JACK !!!!!!!!!
