Todd Smith At His Finest.....

If you're old enough, you remember when LL first hit the scene and he shook the rap world up. As time went on, it just seemed as if the fire wasn't in him anymore, and he went for a softer approach dealing with the ladies. This is some audio I came up on, and for the old LL Cool J fans, I'm sure this won't let you down. ENJOY!!!

My Ipod Shuffle

No need for me to say nothing about this post, the music says enough....

D.I.T.C. Black Milk "Losing Out" & Cam'ron "Let's Talk About It" x The Alan Parsons Project "Let's Talk About Me"

Yes...people...YES it's that time again...my favorite post D.I.T.C. . I've been playing the record "Let's Talk About Me" by The Alan Parsons Project for sometime. I always said it would be dope if someone sampled it. Well it happen finally, Black Milk blessed his talents bring the record back to life and Cam'ron compliments the sample by putting his signature Dip Set sound on it by slowing down the sample and put his Simple Simon flow all over it. I hope you enjoy it

Peace!!!

JMJ...

I know I was suppose to write on this like week ago, but to me, sometimes you have to sit on a thought and let it grown until it's the right time for it to blossom. With this post, I'm not going to give you info on his life, his career, and etc, because you can Google that. What I'm going to do is write on the impact he had behind those two turn tables that sparked a magical time in Hip-Hop and the culture.

Jam Master Jay a name that's held highly when it comes to Hip-Hop, he's had a great effect on everyone he's touched personally to someone just picking up a RUN-DMC record. I can remember as a child sitting in my living room, and watching RUN-DMC nodding my head to the song. But what caught my eye was JMJ (Jam Master Jay) and what he was doing in the background. JMJ didn't rap but he brought a element to the group that RUN or DMC couldn't do and that was bringing those two turn tables to life. JMJ would be on stage holding his own right along with RUN and DMC but scratching, and rocking the crowd and keeping them in tune with the MC's. It got to a point to where people loved what he was doing so much they have to give him his own spot during the set.

I can talk about it all the day, but you have to see it for yourself


JMJ didn't only contribute his talents on the turntables but as knowledge about original. When Hip-Hop was first introduced, you had groups dressing in these weird, crazy, and kind of disturbing costumes.

Like this...

Yea weird right. When JMJ saw this, he told the group that we need to be original, and go against the grain. With that being said, they came with the black hats, Levi jeans, all black leather outfits, and their infamous Addidas sneakers with no shoe strings. With that move, it proved that being original and against the grain works when you're building on the art and you want to see it continue the grow. Most importantly, other MC's start creating their image so they could have their identity, and be able to stand out.

The impact Jay made on the art of Deejaying was powerful. It was other DJ's that came before Jay like Grand Master Flash, Dj Hollywood, Red Alert, and others that did it great, but Jay showed that you could your create your own identity using your that talent. The way he cuts, and blend records was incredible, but most importantly controlling the crowd without having to say one word. Other DJ's like DJ Scratch, Kid Capri, Minster. Cee, and others built on what Jay started took it another level.

Even though Jay has been gone for some time now, his presence is felt when you see a DJ in concert, or you hear a old RUN-DMC record, and like DMC said, "You'll see Jay again my friend!" 

No Need To Explain.....

You really don't need to know about Hip-Hop to know about this man. He was apart of the greatest Hip-Hop group that made it's mark on music. This weekend I'll be celebrating his life and what he contribute to this thing we called Hip-Hop. Tomorrow my post will be on the legacy of Jam Master Jay.

My Ipod Shuffle

Yo what's up people and here's another post on my Ipod Shuffle. I really don't have too much to say, but I hope you enjoy the music from this post. Enjoy!!

D.I.T.C. Notorious B.I.G. "One More Chance" (Remix) x Barry White "I'm Gonna Love You Just A Litte More Baby" x Debarge "Stay With Me"

Not too long ago, me and my homie Tia Olivia Brown Scott was out not too long having a couple of drinks. The D.J. was playing a lot of the records that we came up on, and the had the place in frenzy because they were classics. After awhile, he started to play original samples of a lot of the classics he was playing. The song Debarge "Stay With Me" came on, and we're just vibing to the song, and Tia looked confused for a moment. She said "I thought this was Biggie song?" I asked her "You never heard Debarge "Stay With Me"?" she had thought the beat to "One More Chance" was original but as we all know Puffy brought that 80's R&B records life and this record right here was definitely one. So this post is dedicated to her and the brain fart she had that evening...

Enjoy Peace!!!
