This here OSM was originally on tap for a few weeks ago, but the passing of the legendary Heavster meant the last two weeks were dedicated to him. The inspiration for this one is, somewhat tangentially, my viewing of the ATCQ doc Beats, Rhymes & Life . First off, if you're at all interested in Golden Age hip hop, that movie is a must-watch X infinity. Sure Michael Rappaport is a kind of a goof, but he's done something good here - I enjoyed every minute of it. After that [...]

Have you heard of Animal Farm? And no, I'm not talking about the controversial (one-time banned) George Orwell novel. I'm talking about the Hip Hop group out of Portland, Oregon. If not then fret not. We have got a bit of a treat for you, as the five of them have kindly taken the time to do our little musical interview. But before you get to their choices, listen to their track 'Test Of Time' which features Talib Kweli who is easily one of my favourites. This song came to my attention thanks to the daily [...]

In fact when you look more generally at life on Earth, you find that it is all the same kind of life. There are not many different kinds; there's only one kind. It uses about fifty fundamental biological building blocks, organic molecules. (By the way, when I use the word 'organic,' there is no necessary implication of biological origin. All I mean when I say organic is a molecule based on carbon that's more complicated than CO and CO2.) Now, it turns out that with trivial exceptions all organisms on Earth use a particular kind of molecule called a [...]

Holla'd at the homie, Khaliyl (aka Mr. Man from Da Bush Babees ) and he put me up on this new project he's been working on. The Dub Rock All Stars is basically a new iteration of Da Bush Babees featuring him and Light from the group but incorporating even more of the music (reggae & soca) from their Caribbean heritage. This track also features the legendary Native Tongues MC, Monie Love . Check it: Mind Control f/Monie Love by [...]

When it comes to legendary hip hop producers, Salaam Remi might not be the first name on your list. But take a look at the work he's turned in over the last 15-odd years, and it quickly becomes apparent that he's not really given the credit he deserves. A quick look at Remi's production credits makes for some impressive reading; how about Nas' 'Made You Look' ? Or Ms. Dynamite's 'Miss Dy-Na-Mi-Tee' ? And for one the whole family will know, let's throw Amy 'I love life as a 32D' Winehouse 's 'Tears [...]

" Time is short and it doesn't return again. It is slipping away while I write this and while you read it, and the monosyllable of the clock is Loss, loss, loss, unless you devote your heart to its opposition. Tennessee Williams Fingerbanger 1 : Reach - How To Fish (don lowed) -- This song has been in my rotation for a long time and it never gets old. Which probably means my taste in music is bollocks. But bollocks it [...]
This is a GREAT idea! DJ Mixx the premise of The Sequels series: " The Sequels is an interactive mixtape in which Golden-Age Hip Hop icons revisit their classic material in order to create second installments to unforgettable moments in Hip Hop History. The series will provide foundation Hip Hop listeners what they've been waiting for- new material from their favorite MC's. It will also provide the younger listener with reference points to re-understand Hip Hop today. Serving cultural enrichment on the house. Speak our names. [...]

The Mobius strip is my religion. The first rule is that everything can comeback unto itself in unexpected ways. The first rule is be careful what you wish for. The first rule is there is no end. The first rule is you create what is coming . The first rule is there are absolutely no absolutes. The first rule is everything is everything. The first rule is if you make a rule, then you have to live it. The first rule is don't make rules that you don't want to admit the opposite side of. The first rule [...]
Da Bush Babees first broke into the brooklyn Hip-Hop scene in 1992, when members Mr Man met the Babe-B-Face Kaos during a performance. The two formed a group and with the help of Y-Tee were later to become known as Da Bush Babees. The group dropped their first LP "Ambushed" in 1994 with classics "Pon De Attack", "Remeber We", and "We Run Things [It's Like That]". They later achieved underground success with their 1996 LP entitled "Gravity" which featured the classic single "The Love Song" f.t. Mos Def. Da Bush Babees - Remember We [...]
