B-boys, producers, or funk aficionados...when it comes to breaks, few are as celebrated as the Hihache drums, a distinct kick /snare with a hi hat that draws to resemble the name of the song (IMO). Perhaps the breaks popularity is due to their conspicuous placement at the beginning of a funk burner, easy to spot, juggle or loop, or perhaps it due to their ability to take on multiple personalities and fit the mood; likely a combination of the two... the result is the same, the foundation of some of the most loved classic hip hop songs, and maybe more [...]

Chances are you already know Anthony Fantano as "the Internet's busiest music nerd" over at his killer website, the Needle Drop . If you somehow aren't acquainted with his witty, sharp knowledge of music, then let this serve as an introduction. We reached out to Anthony to host our latest guest podcast, something we've done before with Potholes favorites such as Paul White and Keep Shelly in Athens . But this time around, we wanted to do something different to highlight the great work of a fellow music lover. As suc, there was no [...]
Separating the wheat from the chaff in the world of mashups can be a tough task, but every now and again a real gem springs itself on us. Gummy Soul's Amerigo Gazaway has done just that, pairing De La Soul with Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti to create Fela Soul. It is a very enjoyable 33 minute journey into the [...]
Listening to De La Soul Is Dead means immersing oneself inside a funny but terrifying universe, where brutality and self-destruction exist side by side with smart-ass jokes and sex talk and good music. It was 1991 and De La Soul was fucked. The group's debut album, 3 Feet High and Rising, had come out in 1989 and made them critical darlings, topping that year's Pazz and Jop poll of the year's finest records. The album beat back the formidable challenges posed by that year's other critical faves, Neil Young's Freedom and Lou Reed's New York, to win [...]

De La Soulviet by TenDJiz De La Soulviet is a mashup album by TenDJiz (Miami-based producer/sound-engineer). It uses acapellas of hip-hop trio De La Soul and couples it with instrumentals created from the Soviet Union soul and jazz samples.

We've had the Ghostface Killah vs African Highlife mashup album. Now, it's De La's turn as they are paired up with Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti by Gummy Soul's Amerigo Gazaway. Fela Soul is a very listenable 33 minute mix of mashups over 8-tracks. Listen and download below: Fela Soul by Amerigo Gazaway of Gummy Soul
Fela Soul by Amerigo Gazaway of Gummy Soul Yep, this exists. It's a Fela Kuti / De La Soul mashup mixtape. I like that the sampled Kuti tracks actually compliment De La Soul's rhymes, too. Feels authentic. Feels like something I'd actually return to instead of gawk at for a few minutes. Props to Afropop Worldwide for posting this! / via /

Dj Nibc - The Doorman (Casino Times Remix) You may remember this huge remix from The Magician's magic tape 14 back in August. It was one of the highlights for sure. Finally, Casino Times' synth-driven nu disco take on Dj Nibc's "The Doorman", featuring Anthony Mills, is out now on Trunkfunk Records. But this is not the only release from rising Oxford-based duo of Joe Spencer and Nick Church. They just dropped their debut EP "Laughing Gas" , which [...]
As 2011 rolls on, the hype of moombahton is multiplying at an explosive rate. The genre and its psuedo-sub-genres moombahsoul and moombahcore continue to take their own form and producers across the globe are having a go, creating some of the most fun and fresh music since house music erupted in the early 19902s. Another factor in this moombaquation are online radio stations, such as Moomba+ , that are giving DJ's and producers a chance to connect directly with their potential global audience with line ups often featuring talent spanning various continents. Moombahton is a true global music phenomenon. [...]

Była taka scena w filmie Spike'a Lee "Rób co należy", gdy Mookie pyta białego pracownika pizzerii (John Torturro) nie cierpiącego czarnych o jego ulubionego sportowca i aktora. Padają odpowiedzi Magic Johnson i Eddie Murphy. "No tak, oni są czarni, ale to co innego, bo nie są czarni". Podobnie ma się sprawa z moombahtonem. "Ten kawałek to moombahton? Niemożliwe, nie lubię moombahtonu, to jest jakiś inny moombahton albo to wcale nie jest moombahton". Takie wypowiedzi są na porządku dziennym. Mam misję jak Special Ed i planuję jeszcze trochę pisać o tym zjawisku, a jest o czym, bo właśnie ukazała [...]

Listen to some below and then get the whole compilation. De La Soul - Eye Know (Jon Kwest) A Tribe Called Quest - Bonita Applebum (Jon Kwest [...]

For your weekend listening pleasure, two things that go very well together, De La Soul and Fela Kuti. Produced by Gummy Soul, you can get it on their bandcamp page . You will especially want to listen to the mashup of "Feel Good Inc" (Gorillaz w/ De La Soul). Fela Soul by Amerigo Gazaway of Gummy Soul
Why wouldn't Potholes love this mix? What is there not to love? Producer Amerigo Gazaway takes De La Soul joints and Fela Kuti samples to create "afrobeat rhythms, funky horn riffs, and classic hip-hop gems." Mashup albums are like this: terrible, forgetful, 'why? why?' or amazing, interesting, inventive. In this case, it's refreshing. He remolds the Gorillaz hit, "Feel Good Inc." and De La's "Rock Co.Kane Flow" featuring MF DOOM (all caps ya'll). Track after track is jam packed with piano stabs, fantastic, boombastic drum hits and a '90s dance-floor energy. It's De La Soul and [...]

- Posted by Eric B - I'm not a huge fan of mash-ups but when you combine one of my favorite hip hop artists of all time in De La Soul with one of the legendary pioneers of funk in Fela Kuti, you have a winner in my book. See for yourself by checking out producer Amerigo Gazaway's project entitled "Fela Soul". You can check out the link to download the mixtape here .
Every so often, a mashup project -- something we normally aren't too keen on here at Prefix -- comes along and, well, just works . That's most certainly the case with Fela Soul , a project by producer Amerigo Gazaway that combines the music of Fela Kuti and De La Soul. When you think about it, this amalgam of sounds isn't that strange. De La's Posdnuos rarely raps perfectly on the beat and, instead, chooses to flow freely where he sees fit. So who better to complement his cadence than Fela Kuti and his oddly timed Afrobeat jams? [...]

What do you get when you put together afrobeat legend Fela Kuti and rap pioneers De La Soul? You get Fela Soul; a musical tapestry created by Gummy Soul artist Amerigo Gazaway. More than just a clever title, Fela Soul is an 8-track, 33 minute journey into the world of afrobeat rhythms, funky horn riffs, and classic hip-hop gems. Using dozens of hand-picked samples from the Nigerian instrumentalist and political figure Fela Kuti, and 8 carefully-chosen acapellas from the Native Tongue rap trio De La Soul, Amerigo seamlessly intertwines the two into something completely new and original.
