Prince Paul Prince Paul didn't just expand the definition of what hip-hop could and should sound like – he took the Hip-Hop dictionary tore it up and then recorded a skit about it. Whether playing as part of a live band (Stetsasonic), sampling hippie-rock and french-language instructional records (De La Soul), accidentally inventing Horrorcore (The Gravediggaz) or recording a collection [...]

Big K.R.I.T. and Yelawolf are two of the leading lights of Southern hip hop these days. But don't let their allegiances with the dirty south fool you - it seems that K.R.I.T. and Yela don't let geography limit their influences. The pair - who have collaborated on a few tracks now - show and prove their love for beats and rhymes from all climes on a new track, 'Happy Birthday Hip Hop', which surfaced last week after being recorded back when the pair first met in 2010 . Based on an old [...]

In '95, DJ Premier to capture lightning in a bottle for the release of Livin' Proof . On the production side, not a weak track can be found as even now it still sounds as fresh as day one. The word commonly used when discussing the album is "arguably" because where Premo reached what may be his highest level of production Melachi & Lil Dap...well, let's just say they were young kids who gave it their all. Nevertheless, the soundbeds created are enduring. 01. Intro 00:48 02. Inner Citi Life 02:57 [...]

Just came across a whole bunch of instros over the weekend and figured I should share the wealth. Here today I've got some gems on the rarer side of the ravine... GANG STARR - ALL 4 THE CA$H (INSTR.)

Yesterday, instead of heading back to New York as I originally intended to do, I found myself at Marshall Law 's studio in DC practicing my scratches for 5 hours. It was a great session!!!! In addition to feeling crazy strong with my left hand (LOL), Marsh showed me this clip of GangStarr Foundation in D&D Studio with Fab Five Freddy . What's great about this footage is that the main speaker for the crew is DJ Premier . DJs don't usually do the talking, so it was refreshing [...]

In less then a week I will be hitting up New York, staying near Julliard with my childhood friend Devon Guthrie and will be also venturing to Williamsburg to meet up with my talented photographer pal Matthew Craig ....also will link up with BENNY B and check out his Wedsneday party HUMPIN' AROUND.

The Wackness is a movie about a kid named Luke Shapiro living in New York city in the 90's. The soundtrack - and in my opinion the movie - is great. Apparently everyone in the audience for the Los Angeles premier was given a purple mix tape. Fortunately, its up for download ! Here's the track list: THE A SIDE 1. The Notorious B.I.G. "Party And Bullshit" 2. Boogie Down Productions "Duck Down" 3. Brand Nubian "Punks Jump Up To Get Beat Down" [...]

Soul peoples in the place to be---it's with great pride that I introduce the first guest writer since Vik came through with "Slang Meets Soul". Call this the beginning of a series if you'd like, but my approach to collaborating with other bloggers is essentially lawless and without boundary. My hope is to periodically break the monotony a bit by surrendering complete creative control to some of the greatest minds on the interweb. The content and theme will be entirely to the guests' discretion, and if this submission is any indication, I think this will [...]

Part two of my year end ('06) clean-up covers some of the performances I never got around to publishing when I should have... End of Year ('06) Clean Up Part 1 Lord Jamar & Sadat X @ Webster Hall 8/18/06 I can't say I'm familiar with Lord Jamar's solo material. The same could be said for a lot of the crowd at Webster Hall. Even so, Lord Jamar was given tremendous respect by the crowd for being a [...]
