I love this "be a dj" site! I always wanted to dj but my bro NEVER gave up his turntables and record collection. Once Serato started taking over...i couldn't invest in that. So...thanks to Blip.fm...i'm a dj. LOL...

It's a great site where you can create a playlist and find all the music you want to show off/share... You can add friends and they can see your blips...

aaah just check out my Blips

Speaking of Daft Punk(whom I love, waaay Pre Kanye sample days). GOD can i PLEASE be able to make it to the NEXT TOUR (whenever that comes again =/ ) !!!!


A Few Favorite Daft Punk songs

Voyager (dope beautiful groovy track)


Emotion (funky electronic emotion evoking)


WHERE DAFT PUNK GOT THEIR SAMPLES FROM----

Notorious 2009 Teaser Trailer

I can't wait to see this....it's going to bring ME BAAAACK. I miss Biggie... I miss TUPAC...but right now, it's time to miss Biggie.
This movie should be good content wise as well as acting. Derek Luke's sexy ass playing the Hype Machine aka Puffy aka Diddy aka "Aspiring Actor Sean Combs".... Angela Bassett playing Voletta Wallace..Jamal Woolard playing Biggie (new actor).

Check out the trailer




then check out the many NYC and Brooklyn shooting locations and behind the scenes footage & interviews with Ms. Wallace, Lil Cease, Director George Tillman and more.

Happy Birthday John Coltrane!

Today (September 22)[or yesterday depending on when this posts] would have been his 82nd birthday.
I love John Coltrane because he had amazing harmonic knowledge and instinct. WOW...this man had delivered harmony with such complexity and was definitely a "funky technician" with that saxophone.


One of my most favorite songs of John Coltrane is "Naima"....the song was named after his first wife. The chorus of this song is so beautiful. This entire song educes a whirl of emotions. THE GOOSEBUMP FACTOR




Not many hip hop artists have sampled John Coltrane. I think the Fu Schnickens did...i know the Pharcyde did, Aceyalone...but I'm not sure who else. EXCEPT, how could I forget KRS-ONE "Brown Skinned Woman"




that song sampled Coltrane's "The Late Late Blues"

Piano-mation in LED

Light-Paint Piano Player from Ryan Cashman on Vimeo.

Ryan Cashman describes Light-Paint Piano Player -

"Animated light paintings of a little piano player performing. Filmed at night with the lovely I-5 and San Diego skyline in the background. I would like to thank everyone for the fantastic feedback I have received lately. To answer a few questions, I wrote the music and recorded it first. The frames were photographed with a Canon Rebel using 20-30 second exposure time. I used a small green LED keychain light to draw each frame. Once all the positions were photographed they were strung together and synchronized to the music in After Effects."

This is really cute! God I love talent!!! I had to post because A) it's dope and B) its got my hometown in the background! San Diego baby...

You Got It- The Glamorous Life...

This used to be one of my jams back in the day! Had to share...
Too bad Cool C finished himself off along with Steady B (who's now "SERIOUS" in prison) by robbing a bank and killing a cop (stupidos)...is he [Cool C] still on death row?




** Check Jill Scott looking young and lovely.....(she's the main chickadee walking and smiling)

Kidz in the Hall f/Estelle at SoB's

I definitely like Kidz in the Hall...

"School Was My Hustle" was a good album..

Give it up for the U.K [Estelle]!! I love live music...

They perform "Love Hangover" , their latest single...video premiering soon. My kind of hip hop! lol

Word to Jay Electronica..

This dude...very talented...very. I really hope he does something with that gift of his. Everything is right there for him! Dude might need an army to push him.

Good luck Jay.

Video posted by NahRight...love that blog.

FLIP THAT SAMPLE

Tom Scott - Today

This song used in one of my favorite, arguably the most classic hip hop song ever.

"They Reminisce Over You (My God)"



Pete Rock is a genius and is in the ranks of being one of my most favorite producers.

HBO 1983 Intro-

This intro was always exciting to see. I remember being a kid eating white bread and butter ( tsk tsk ) watching movies on a Saturday night. They had a few version throughout the years, but this one was classic!

I loved the score....

Then there is this one, very old school...punks won't let me embed it. Here's the link

HBO Main Title - Flying Silver Logo - Short Version - Early 80s; Feature Presentation

Marsha Ambrosius aka Songstress

I just felt like posting about this woman. I've been listening to a few unreleased joints and I'm just too impressed with her!!! Marsha has the ability to give me goosebumps with her voice [even after repeating her songs for 3 weeks straight].
Self-proclaimed "Washington Heights own Randy Jackson" ("good and terrible")..probably because she doesn't just SING...she saaaaangs.

She is very talented and I give 12 thumbs up to her for all her wonderful creativity and soul.

More Marsha and JB collabos...they're DOPE together.

In honor of the apparent circumstances in my life right now:

RIP It's Over- by Marsha Ambrosius

Hip Hop Quote of the Day

Artist: T.I
Album: Paper Trail
Song: Live Your Life

"I'm the opposite of moderate, immaculately polished with the spirit of a hustler and the swagger of a college kid.
Allergic to the counterfeit, impartial to the politics.
Articulate but still would grab a nigga by the collar quick.
Whoever had the problems with they record sales, just holla 'til.
If that don't work and all else fails, then turn around and follow 'til.
I got love for the game but ay I'm not in love with all of it.
I do without the fame and the rappers nowadays are comedy.
The hootin' and the hollerin', back and forth with the arguing.
Where you from, who you know, what you make and what kind of car you in.
Seems as though you lost sight of whats important with the positive.
And checks into your bank account, and you're up out of poverty/
Your values is in disarray, prioritizing horribly.
Unhappy with the riches cause you piss poor morally.
Ignoring all prior advice and fore warning.
And we might be full of ourselves all of a sudden aren't we?"


NATELY SAYS: Thanks to UniversalHipHop for the quote.
This song is DOPE..HAAAY HOOOO! That beat gives me goosebumps...the entire concept of this song gives me goosebumps. That chorus is dope...i'd rather hear "Red 5ive" sing it tho...
