GRAND GROOVE DJ’S PRESENT: Ol School R&B Flavas

Grand Groove is officially one of our favorite crews.

via GrandGroovedjs: "This mix is inspired by the work of legendary New York mixtape DJ’s G-BO THE PRO AND DOUBLE R, with special thanks to our homie DJ NEIL ARMSTRONG for putting us up on game. Awhile back Royale showed me G-Bo the Pro and Double R #21. It was an instant hit recieving HEAVY rotation in the car. Roy then suggested the idea that we re-do the tape, a cover per se, adding our own Grand Groove touches throughout. Covering a mixtape, who does that!? So that’s what we did! We re did the B Side of the tape and flipped the cover too (thanks to Committee designs). While we kept a lot of the original tracklisting we also included some of our own personal favourites and original blends that we felt would fit in the mix. Here’s the original cover and tracklisting"

No, REDMAN.. YOU are are Fiyah!

I really wish there was a reality show based around Red and Meth. It could be those dudes just chattering away. Maybe not even a show.. maybe more like a red and meth show/commercial that's like 5 mins long played in between commercials. THAT would be the poo poo!

DBlaze Remixes = crack

I've known this dude for years but I didn't really realize how much damage he does to the remix board! I'll hear one of his remixes here and there but not really realizing that those were just the gold flakes thats been chipped away from his mine! If you are a professional DJ you need to take a look at these remixes. It's guaranteed that there is more than a few that you need!

Check out this line of remixes JUST FOR THE MONTH OF MAY! Past months here.

The Fake Drake Show at Element in Hollywood.

After about nearly getting trampled for about an hour after the scheduled 12:30 performance me and my homegirl bounced. We got gig'd to cover the event but hospitalization wasn't worth show coverage that could only last 20 minutes—plus the red carpet was wack—maybe the worst setup in Hollywood...EVER. Cops and fire department came out to do their thing and someone screaming on the mic at 1:30 was NOT going to make LAFD kick everyone out any slower. What the PD should have done was find the promotors, escort them out, find out where the 20K was at, and distribute the refunds. Those people stood in a line for hours (impressively, it wrapped around the block) to pay 20 bucks each. Check the moneymaker's logo's below:


Sidenote questions for the evening:
1) Is it sheer determination and willingness that makes a person—essentially swimming upstream—forcefully continue down a completely crowded hall with the clear intent to crush all in his path with the simple thoughts that if it's a fragile looking girl then all the easier? In this situation, other than the feeling of 'winning', is there really a point to "getting to the other side"?

2) At what moment does it click in a bouncer's head—when looking at a handful of half-trampled girls in a sea of dudes again, "swimming upstream"—that he considers their plea's of help as NOT a "girl thing" and that waving that silly little flashlight from the stage not only makes it noticeable that EVERYone is ignoring his commands of "get out of the way" and "fallback" but they are really starting to realize his slowness is enhanced by his stupidness.

3) Does "shouting out people" during such a fiasco help take your mind off the pain of a persons elbow in your back? Does the whole "I didn't see it happen so i guess it didn't happen" thing really work? Apparently Cory Maggette's (GS Warriors) brother thinks so.

De La Soul x Nike + Original Run: Are You In?

I'm no fitness fanatic but after hearing this album I simply feel like running. Shoot, I felt like I was on a run the whole 40 mins. I might be overstepping but I don't think that any other hip hop artist could bring it like De La did on this one. A conceptual album built for the runner needs the perfect feel and balance of rhyme to music (production creds to: Trackademics, Flosstradamus, Dave West)—and that's what you get with 'Soul's 20+ years of experience. If any album is De La's return album this one would be it. Thank you De La Soul for the audible adrenaline. Nike, thank you again for delivering timeless classics.

Diplodocus & Low Budget: Hollertronix: Never Scared

Back in 2003 I got Diplodocus & Low Budget's "Hollertronix: Never Scared" and immediately thought that it was something that was ahead of it's time; Then Low Budget & Aaron Lacrate dropped "Bmore Gutter Music (2004)"; Then M.I.A dropped "Arular" (2005);Then Spank Rock dropped YoYoYoYo (2006); Then Spank Rock & Benny Blanco drop "Bangers and Cash" (2007)—M.I.A. drops "Kala" the same year.

What's the point of this? I'm tired of people talking like bmore is new. Dope shit is just dope shit—you're just late.

Dj Cheapshot: Club Footed

That homie Cheapshot has got one of the most clever funny bones I've ever known. It's how he gets the ladies to dance to his music. It's how he get the other Djs jealous...It's how he gets bloggers to promote his latest project.

This Club Footed outing is a sonically balanced dancefloor filler. It's perfect for those cool couples that have an undying friendship with go-go dancers...or have friends date the occasional douche. His mixes of Redhead Kingpin/New Jack Hustler/Show Me love/The Cars That Go Boom simply keep BOTH couples on the floor and happy—he gives a little love to the homie, a little for the douche.

Pictured above: Partymouth album cover. Fucking hornaliciously genius; him showing off with a "hey look I'm more super-popular than you" pose at some performance in Japan with his Crew Styles of Beyond. Club Footed is his first release after being signed to super Dj Crew S.K.A.M. Artist.
