A couple days late but still love it! Hope y'all had a great Christmas? [via Couch Sessions Tumblr ]
CLICK IMAGE TO VIEW VIDEO This is as classic as it get's, Kurtis Blow's 1980 appearance on Top Of The Pops. Back when hip-hop was still a baby and a swear word may have caused considerable controversy Kurtis Blow's "Christmas Rapping" had universal appeal. PADDY Tags: christmas , kurtis blow , rap
Well, seeing as how we're a week away from Christmas, and that we've been in a festive mood around these parts all month, thanks to our rather awesome (if we do say so ourselves) #herohillxmas Advent Calendar , a Christmas themed Old School Monday seemed in order. I was about to do this from scratch, when thankfully I realized that I'd done a fairly thorough Christmas Rappin' post a couple years ago. It seems like it would be rather difficult to do it any better than I'd already done it, so I'm putting those same songs back [...]

Ah yes, The Breaks, one of my favorite joints of all time and a song that has recently had me pondering the current state of music, and more specifically, the current state and nature of hip-hop music. With so much materialistic rap out there these days it's important for me as a fan to go back and look at where it all started. Artists today focus so much of there energy on being "real", taking it to a competitive level of "realness" with other artists, when in reality they are simply masking their true identities behind designer clothing and expensive [...]

Pictured above: not DJ Las K Makdett - Song For You (DJ Las K Remix) Kurtis Blow - The Breaks (DJ Las K Rework) Over here in the US we're going through a little bit of heat wave, so I figured I'd give you guys some nu-disco to match how hot it is outside. I present DJ Las K, a Parisian who specializes in French House so aggressive I'm somewhat worried for your safety. It's not like hard electro aggressive, more like [...]
What's that you say? Where's all the bangin' disco house been these days? I hope you're sitting down, cause if not this will knock you straight to the floor. Frenchman DJ Las K has a sound that rattles your chest and keeps your feet moving all night long. For bass addicts like myself, this is sweet sweet heroin. And I will never go to rehab. Makdett - Song For You (DJ Las K Remix) by DJ Las K [...]

In 1980, Kurtis Blow stood astride a freshly minted genre like a good time goliath. He was the first rapper to sign with a major label, and the first to achieve a gold record with his single, "The Breaks". In that sense, there will always be a touch of disappointment associated with Blow's wider career, but the speed of evolution in rap music was too fast for even his impressive charisma to keep up with. Still, Blow made a successful move into production and in the last ten years has become something of a renaissance man via his collaborations with [...]
