Don’t Stop Til’ You Get Enough

Today would have been Michael Jackson’s 51st birthday. As a tribute, Jaycee dropped a nice set today for his Afternoon Delights & was kind enough to pass the audio over to share.

“Da Rugged Child…”

Young Shy was the son of Shaolin and perhaps the one of the few Clan offshoots who can claim “success,” having released albums and appearing in films and videos. He’s also been on the lam before and served a short prison stint. In other words, the once young cat has done it all while...

Teddy, Aaron & Damion Were The Future

Well, not really. But they did put together a few memorable chunes while recording as Guy. True story, if you want to guess my age, I was getting my early slow grind on @ the little parties when these cats were making noise. Nothing more etched in my memory than those pubescent pelvic thrusts while...

“Inspectah Deck, he’s like…he’s like that dude that’ll sit back and watch you play yourself and all that right? And see you sit there and know you lyin; and he’ll take you to court after that, cuz he the Inspectah.” Hit the break for the materials.

If you’re wondering who Star is, this post might not be for you. If the NYTimes found him way down in TN, how have

R.I.P. - Freddie Hubbard

Growing up, I always had a fascination with the trumpet. My father’s old one sat in the basement and I spent many an afternoon trying to play it. It was a disaster to say the least, as I could never get my lips right to hit the notes and the 3 key note structure bewildered me to no end. My dad...

The Young Prince…

You have to give it up to young Tremaine. He has received cosigns from the likes of Aretha & Bun B; that should suffice for just cause and prove his mettle. Surprisingly, he’s managed to live up to those lofty laurels by carving a niche for himself, along the way escaping early comparisons...

“You’ve Got A Friend”

Words By Jada G. We only had Donny Hathaway for 34 years. And though he was ours for only a moment, his voice remains one of the most prolific treasures of soul music. Behind the powerful tone existed a depth of pain not many in his life could understand. Despite his mental torture, he left songs of...

“Harlem World, Double Up…”

Now, I am admittedly a Ja Rule fan. Most people chose sides once 50 & G-Unit entered the picture. But unequivocally, nobody crafted more Hip-Hop fluff for radio than Jeffrey Atkins. Nobody. Except this dude M-A-dollar sign-E.

“Representin’ BK To Tha Fullest…”

You never need a special occasion to honor Christopher Wallace. Annual reminders of the anniversary of his assassination, commemorative magazine articles coinciding with the release of Life After Death, Biggie lunchboxes — all that’s find and dandy. But see, as the years continue to roll...

“Inside The Arena…”

Spied @ OKP, a look into the early days of Gang Starr during the Step In The Arena time period. Part two after the break along with a small group of bonus Shots in the form of Premo mixtapes, a few tracklistings included.

“Dark Matters & Pornography”

I’ve faced the fact that these dudes will probably not be putting out any new material as a group, and if they don’t it won’t receive any major push. Therefore
