Friday, July 27, 2012 This month's mix is inspired by my own contemplation of how great horns and horn samples sound in hip hop. Instead of wax rhapsodic about the great depth brass instruments can bring to hip hop, even for songs not trying to achieve anything close to a jazz sound, I'll just let you sit back on this Friday and let this horn-filled playlist move you. :Maestro Fresh-Wes - Another Funky Break: : Maestro Fresh-Wes - Another Funky Break : : [...]
Awwwwwww yeah, it's Summatime, ya'll! Nothing like this fresh track from 1994 to get you chillin' in your ride while you cruise the boulevard lookin' for a party to breeze to....what the hell am I talking about? I had never even heard this track before a little less than a month ago, but its infectious groove and light hearted attitude got right under my skin and I've been diggin' it ever since. Oh yeah, and DJ scratches were to 902s hip hop what guitar solos were to 802s metal. [...]
Chicago MC Lupe Fiasco , no stranger to controversy, is already in hot water over his lead single from upcoming LP Food & Liquor 2 : The Great American Rap Album . The track in question, "Around My Way (Freedom Ain't Free)" samples Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth's 1992 rap staple "They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)", which itself samples Tom Scott's cover of Jefferson Airplane's "Today". Turns out Pete Rock is none too thrilled over Fiasco's borrowing from his song. "No disrespect to lupe fiasco and i like him alot but [...]

Greetings, and happy old school new year! I was still on holiday last week, so I thought I'd greet my first OSM opportunity the way I have for the last few years: by posting a bunch of awesome songs from 20 years ago. Yes, the title and your undoubtedly excellent math skills, have revealed that the songs we're posting are from 1992. That would put us just part the middle of hip hop's Golden Age (I know, I know, you have your own definition for the Golden Age, but for OSM purposes I've always [...]

Does anybody else go through phases where they listen to pretty much exclusively one genre of music? I do all the time.. They usually last about 3 or 4 weeks, and then I switch gears. Anything can bring the change on really - some big event where I hear good music from that genre, a mood where I just 'need to hear that song', or boredom. Right now I'm on a serious hip hop kick, and have listened to a lot of old favourites this week. I have only a few go-tos when I really need hip hop, [...]
Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, Brand Nubian, KMD, and Leaders Of The New School live in 1990
The following collection of videos recorded in December of 1990 at an Elektra Records showcase is absolutely indispensable for any fan of classic hip-hop. The lineup is impeccable: Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, Brand Nubian, KMD, and Leaders Of The New School. To say that all of these acts were in their prime is understatement; of the four groups, three (Rock & C.L., KMD, and L.O.N.S.) had all yet to release their classic debuts. Thus, all these legends are young, hungry, and have all their creative energies intact, their spirits yet to be hardened by music industry politics and the [...]

Mecca And The Soul Brother Turns 20
Rap has had many magical once-in-a-lifetime eras, but here's one of them. In 1992, people were just starting to figure out that it probably wasn't legal to sample anything and everything without permission or repercussion, but rap producers were still doing it, possibly understanding that the clock was running out on the way they were making music. And the same time, sampling technology was improving all the time, and visionary producers were figuring out different ways to layer up shards of other people's music, to build their own pocket orchestras. West Coast rap was about to have its biggest moment [...]
