I picked up this LP after hearing Edmx spinning it on his always excellent podcast series . J.J. Fad were a Dr. Dre produced female pop trio active in the late '80s. In this number, they rap over a Dre'd up version of Juan Atkin's classic ' Night Drive / Time, Space, Transmat '. J.J. Fad - Blame It On The Muzick [320 vinyl rip] Dre [...]

Photography by insert-profanity ... I'm going to start my contribution to Mixtape Week the same way I always have, and always will start it: by complaining. I FUCKING HATE MAKING MIXTAPES!!! I cannot emphasize this enough, I really really detest making mixtapes. It's so much work compared to normal posts, I can't imagine myself doing this more than once a year or so. Blech! All righty then. Now that that's out of the way lets talk about the music. I already warned Ol' Tsuru that my mixtape would be somewhat different. [...]

This post is a little light on content but I believe the quality makes up for the quantity. It also gives me a chance to explain something. I started this blog to highlight rare and hard-to-find recordings, primarily music you can't find on CD. When I started this blog a few years ago the pool from which to get tracks from was huge, but it's getting harder and harder to fulfill my original mission statement. Everything seems to be on CD (or iTunes/Amazon MP3 store) now! It's annoying! That is one of the reason why updates have slowed [...]

Why? Because I can. Besides, how can you hate on J.J. Fad (Just Jammin' Fresh And Def)? They're aDORable. The first female rap group to be nominated for a Grammy, even. And can you believe they were produced by N.W.A.'s Dr. Dre (yes, that Dre - forgot about him, did you?), Eazy E and DJ Yella? Dre had a soft spot for fluff, also producing Michel'le ("No More Lies!" - your nose is growin', Pinnocho!) during this period. "Supersonic" [...]

I've gotten a lot of great submissions that I was planning to review and post by now, but with my moving back to Brooklyn from Florida next week... I just don't have the time. I've been spending time packing and reorganizing my belongings, along with working and spending as much time as possible with friends and family. But I wanted to get something up here to hold y'all over until everything is settled, so here's a couple of playlists in the meantime: This first playlist I'm posting was partially influenced [...]
![It's Dre Day (And Everybody's Celebratin') [They Say It's Your Birthday]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1540909_lg.jpg)
Happy 44th birthday today to Andre Young, better known as Dr. Dre . At this point I've completely given up on hearing Detox , but Dre's existing discography—between N.W.A., his solo albums and the work he's done for other artists—is enough to make his birthday worthy of a tribute post. If you happen to be one of those lucky bastards in the New York City area, you can celebrate Dre's birthday in style at Santos Party House with some DJs spinning classic Dre tracks. It's possible the [...]
![JJ Fad Set To Get Supersonic All Over Again [Reunions]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1514633_lg.jpg)
The Los Angeles hip-hop trio JJ Fad got back into the studio for the first time since the Reagan administration over the weekend, apparently in preparation for the reissue of their 1988 album Supersonic and a tour with the almost-reunited Fat Boys . While I'm all for people maybe learning just where Fergie's "Fergalicious" acquired all of its halfway listenable aspects, I'm adopting a wait and see approach as far as new material goes— Supersonic co-producer Dr. Dre is quoted in the press announcement as saying that 50 Cent and Eminem would [...]

When the Arabian Prince cut his first record, few people east of San Bernadino had ever heard of the City of Compton and nobody had California in mind when they mentioned rap about street gangs. To an outsider, the scene in L.A. might have looked corny. Jheri curls, drum machines and dudes dressed in purple. Rap music was, sometimes literally, a joke. Bobby Jimmy and the Critters, a novelty act fronted by present-day shock jock Russ Parr attracted the best producers in Southern California, including Egyptian Lover ("We Like Ugly Women," 1984) and Arabian Prince ("Big Butt," 1984, [...]

Shake It (Do The 61st) - Anquette (1987) Get Busy - Wink-D featuring Candy Fresh (1989) If you like freestyle and you like Miami bass then this track is a winner for you, as it samples 'When I Hear Music' by Debbie Deb to great effect. More bass. Get It Boy - Fresh Celeste & M-4Sers (1987) Better Yet L'Trimm - L'Trimm (1988) Booty Shaking - Lady Base & Posse (1989) Blame It On The [...]

All right friends, a busy weekend gone by and a busy week on the docket means I don't have much time for OSM. But we'll still bang one out because that is just how we get down on the hill. Anyway, due to our coverage of Halifax's Summersonic festival this past week, I found myself typing the name a lot, and about half the time I wrote it as "Supersonic". That is due to the song of the same name from old school, LA female trio J.J. Fad. I wasn't actually a huge [...]
