The Jersey City duo P.M. Dawn's biggest hit was 19912s Spandau Ballet-sampling "Set Adrift On Memory Bliss," the first-ever Billboard #1 from a non-white rapper, and the first from anyone who wasn't Vanilla Ice or Marky Mark. But P.M. Dawn's most significant pop cultural moment came a few months later, at an MTV-sponsored January 1992 show at New York's Sound Factory. At that show, KRS-One and his goons stormed the stage when the duo were performing, pushing them off the stage and commandeering it to perform KRS's Boogie Down Productions song "I'm Still #1." A little while earlier, [...]]]> text/html 2012-10-22T06:09:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4578578/kev-paris-bonita-applebaum-ft-juvito-aule-memories-i-like/
Being someone whose damn near entire teenage life happened in the 902s, coming across a project in the inbox with a central concept focused solely on paying tribute to some of the hip hop sounds of the decade will of course earn the quickest of clicks. On his newly released mixtape For The Hip-Hop Junkie , Bronx emcee Kev Paris does more than simply deliver a pleasant nine-track ride on the Wayback Express though: the familiar beats of yesteryear-rap used are just listener-nabbing bait for Paris' fine mic work, a [...]]]> text/html 2012-09-19T20:45:07+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4516497/this-week-in-music-history-september-16-22/

Even when they throw up, flowers are pretty. Joni Mitchell (1968) P.M. Dawn (1993) I'm always a sucker for the good use of an unexpected and/or obscure sample in a song. Not that there are really that many times I get to look for them in music I listen to on any sort of regular basis, outside of Beck, the Beastie Boys, or Public Enemy.

THE NOCTURNAL IS IN THE HOUSE!! A day after being disappointed with the Rock The Bells lineup release, I put together this lineup of my own. Also, I mixed some G-Funk into the playlist just to honor the nice weather we've been getting in California. Don't get on my case about it not being purely hip-hop only!! Anyways, hope you enjoy.

PM Dawn : Fantasia's Confidential Ghetto [Purchase] I bought a brand new sealed cassette copy of Jesus Wept from a small record store I was driving by in Montrose, Colorado. Had it not been $4, and had I not a hundred miles to go before I got home, I probably would have passed on it and missed out on what I still consider to be 1995's best album.

rizzle kicks - travellers chant ( young favourite remix) [what a lovely remix by young favourite! dreamy and laid back, it totally reminds me of PM Dawn (remember them?). hopefully they'll release this version as an official single cause it's so much better than the original!] just for comparison, here is the official video version which i'm not feeling as much. rizzle kicks - travellers chant http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld]]> text/html 2012-02-28T20:20:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4103847/perseus-dazed-digital-mix/
Perseus Dazed Digital Mix This mix is thirty of the most amazing minutes you will hear all year. Perseus is the fucking master at creating a basstastic vibe, transforming all the faves from Justin Timberlake , Robin S. , and PM Dawn to Aaliyah and The Source into instant nu-disco groove anthems.

Here it is, the lost installment that some of you were asking for. From now on, you could expect a new Hip-Hop playlist every first of the month. Anyways, this playlist was from our old site, and we'd like to thank you guys for supporting us since the beginning. Thanks, and keep spinning. ..... Dope beats, dope rhymes, this hip-hop sh*t really ain't that hard. Enjoy this playlist of some of my favorite hip-hop tracks. Don't be quick to judge what isn't on the list, since putting literally every good hip-hop song is impossible. Enjoy!

Perseus describes his sound as "tropical euphoria," now would that mean sweet jams in warm climates with the hottest women surrounding us while we dance the night away? if his "Russian Girlfriends" track (where he samples PM Dawn) is any indication of what to expect more of in 2012 than we guess that could be a yes! Enjoy the fun cut below, your start of the week just got a little fresher.

Sach O 's background sings, his background sings for the Crossover. As we speak, Lupe Fiasco is curled up in the fetal position trying to figure out where exactly he went wrong. For my money, he stopped being interesting sometime between changing the track list for Food & Liquor and claiming 8Ball is a better emcee than Q-Tip. Still, one can hope that the spectacular failure of Lasers will serve as a cautionary tale for emcees considering the PM Dawn route to a successful rap career.

We're back with the tenth edition of Rendezvous . I feel like these will go up to Vol. 50 if you're down for the ride. Last month's RDV9 got tons of feedback and since these are my favorite mixes to do, I wanted to keep the groove going. I saw this photo on a Tumblr and for some reason it resonated with me.

There has been a 'snippet' version of Azari & III's Reckless With Your Love remix by Tensnake floating around for quite some time - however recently a full-length version of the stellar edit has reached zee soundcloudz. Kunk's love for the 80s is rivaled quite closely with our love for the 90s, which is quite useful in this instance as Tensnake rolls out samples from both Massive Attack and C+C Music Factory in this blissful creation. I'm half surprised he didn't enlist the bro from PM Dawn to throw down some additional backing [...]]]>
