treacherous three - "yes we can-can" (download) From their 1984 debut record for Sugar Hill Records (although some might consider it an EP, since it consisted of only 6 songs). The Treacherous Three consisted of Kool Moe Dee , L.A. Sunshine , Special K and Spoonie Gee (who left in the late 702s). Classic old school hip hop.
Happy Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Festivus, Boxing Day and HumanLight from The Treacherous Three, Kool Moe Dee and The Days of Lore. Like The Days of Lore on Facebook . Follow TDoL on Twitter .

The first section of The Pitchfork 500 was entitled "Year Zero", as this was time when rock music effectively started again, as punk exploded into a million shards which spread through the music world. But the next section starts with another almost entirely new musical form - hip-hop (or rap, if you prefer. I'm not even sure what the distinction is myself, frankly). Whilst the likes of Gil Scott-Heron and The Last Poets had made spoken-word soul back in the late '60's and early '70's, the impact had been limited. This is the music that would [...]
Here, in ten jams, is a crash course in old school rap.

Recently my father was complaining about the fact that house and electro aren't real music because the musicians don't play their own instruments. What he doesn't realize is that today's house music is yesterday's disco. Today's mixdown is a throwback to a time where synthesizers didn't dominate music, when disco was king, and house was on the horizon. The tracklist is impeccable. Every one of these songs makes me move in my seat and want to move my feet. The culprit behind the mix is Toronto DJ SplatterMonkey who has been spinning around Toronto for a while now. [...]
Ya know that mix from Ronnie Darko I mentioned a few posts ago? It introduced me to this song, which pushed me to the video . Old school quality. It's amazing. Some people say things are amazing very often, but this actually is. Amazing like grace. Check it. Treacherous Three - Christmas Rap
Some people like to get their holiday shopping done early. I decided to get my holiday blogging done early. So this year I'm posting a bunch of holiday songs all at once--call it a compilation if you like, or think of it as me stopping by to D.J. your Christmas party without having to deal with me drinking up all your eggnog, insulting your guests and throwing up on your sectional. Individual tracks are available for download by right clicking on the links, or you can just download a zip file of the whole thing. 1. [...]
Editor's Note: For a writer who's not even in this hemisphere, Australia's Robbie Ettelson puts a lot of rap journalists in America to shame with his interviews. Maybe it's just that he actually transcribes and publishes what he raps with these rappers about but even that provides some much-needed candor and illumination. He ran his interview with KRS-One last week and it actually addresses several of the conversations that came up in my recent KRS post. In particular, Robbie asks him if KRS was going at Jeff Chang with "I Was There" and KRS [...]
Photo from The Foundation Hip hop names are great. Mine is Royal Joint . Gabriel Jacskon has a pretty cool name already, but he becomes Spoonie G. I'd kind of rather he didn't have a real name, I like Spoonie G. As a way to finish off a record of Grandmaster Flash's, Kool Moe Dee's and Duke Bootee's, this isn't a bad finale. Pleasingly, it's also a decent song, and funky as. Aka Spoonie Gee, this guy was one of the founders of the Treacherous Three and featured on [...]
(Photo by G Kcin ) Said turn it up. This is misleadingly credited to the Treacherous Three on the album sleeve, but in reality Turn It Up was the first solo release (on Sugar Hill, natch) for a certain Mohandas Dewese, aka Kool Moe Dee . Although potentially named after Gandhi, Mr Dee was recognised, in his early days at least, as much for anything as his confrontation and feuding. Kool Moe Dee came to prominence on the back of a now legendary live recording of a battle rap/roasting of Busy [...]
