All posts for the month November, 2011
38 Years ago a bunch of creative, like minded, artistic street kids decided to get together and basically create one of the major foundations of hip-hop today. But you already knew that right? Without the likes of Afrika Bambaataa there wouldn’t be this beautiful culture we now dance around in on a daily basis. Tupac would’ve stayed in Balitmore Arts School or joined the New Afrikan Black Panthers, Ice-T would be going into gangsta retirement, Emimen would still be stacking shelves and Wocka Flocka Flame…Well he’d probably still be making pop record so no change there. To celebrate this occasion we’ll be posting some classics from the back catalogs of the great masters all week. This first one will the track that changed it all, “Planet Rock”.
This is the best documentary on hip-hop I’ve ever come across. It’s got some rad footage and the interviews with Ice-T make for some cinematic gold. It’s in three parts and it’s hard to get hold of but there are some torrents of it floating about, but here it is all loaded up on Youtube in high quality by some nice person.
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Err so you should get this album not just because it’s a killer, but because it’s called “Sax, Drugs & On The Dole”. If that alone doesn’t get you interested then you’ve got no sense of humour and I feel sorry for you. The album itself isn’t a joke release, it’s a solid record I can just appreciate the black humour.
Our boy Potent Whisper has just put out his latest video, and like all his previous releases you know this heavy, straight talking and strictly no bullshit. Another reason to love the UK scene. Get your beady little eyes over to the play button and give yourself a treat.

Just in case you forgot hip-hop isn’t just about loud shouty cats talking fast into a microphone…For all those unable to process sarcasm that part was a joke. Anyway peep this very interesting video with Amjad from the legendary Seven Dollars Crew talk about the past, present and future of the bboy scene. We should have an interview with Darren Fordy from the Battle Holex Crew very soon, I’m just trying to grab that man on Skype.
Educate son!

This being Remembrance Day I thought this track by Diligent Fingers and Old Owl was very apt. You can download the whole album here
From a personal stand point I am generally offended when the media and government try to use the memories of my family members who fought in both WW1 and WW2 to stir up blind patriotism and reasons to follow this horrible government. Instead of coming out with ignorant phrases like “support our troops or get out of my country” use your brain. Remember the sacrifices made fighting oppression and brutality in WW2 were not done so you could carry on the same ignorance, racism, blindness, and love of a oppressive state that they were trying to destroy. Honor their memory and those fighting overseas by thinking for yourself and fighting oppression wherever it appears, be it 1000 miles away of here at home.

Rest in peace my Great-grand pops, Granduncles and all who fought in WW1 on both sides. Come home safely to my friends currently serving.

Making its world premiere as the 14th entry in The DJBooth andEvent Electronics’ 20/20 Music Series, this newly-released single finds the Cali spitter admonishing listeners against letting the lust for luxury goods get the better of their ethical principles. Frequent collaborator Ro Blvd does his thing on the production tip, crafting a heavily syncopated synth-percussion groove to back the U-N-I alum as he recounts how two enterprising (and girl-crazy) youths’ scheme to “dress high-end off of credit-card scams” backfired when the boys in blue caught wind of their con. A sage cautionary tale and a dope record to boot, this joint is exclusive to the 20/20 Music Series. Fans can look forward to further DJBooth-exclusive entries throughout the remainder of November.
