Radio.Blog: The L.A. Player, MC Ice-T
Nothing like a little Ice-T for a hot summer day (and it’s hot as *%$#! in Atlanta today). Here are my favorite Ice-T tracks. Ice is a rapper who I think doesn’t get enough credit for all the music he’s put out. He may not be a lyrical genius but my man can tell some… Continue reading Radio.Blog: The L.A. Player, MC Ice-T
Radio.Blog Tribute to Luther Vandross – R.I.P.
I just heard that Luther Vandross passed away today so I had to do a radio.blog of some of my favorite Luther tracks. People always say that “they don’t make ’em like this any more” but in Luther’s case that’s very true — voices like his don’t come along very often. I used to wear… Continue reading Radio.Blog Tribute to Luther Vandross – R.I.P.
Radio.Blog: ‘Necks Move’ by Deep Thinkers
It’s not often that I like a CD on my first listen, so I was pleasantly surprised when I first listened to ‘Necks Move’ by Deep Thinkers. “Necks Move’ is a refreshing departure from the typical hip-hop being produced these days. The group is a throwback to old school hip-hop yet their music also draws… Continue reading Radio.Blog: ‘Necks Move’ by Deep Thinkers
The (anti) Valentine’s Day Radio.Blog
Very appropriately my girl Honey has done not one, but two radio.blogs for Valentine’s day. One is for the lovers and the other is for the lover-haters/V-Day scrooges. I’ve had several discussions with friends today and I think the latter rb will be the more-listened to one. 🙂
Diggin’ in the Crates: Dancehall, Vol. 1
Here’s some dancehall reggae (mostly) from the 90s. This was the genre that I turned to once I started falling out of love with hip-hop. This stuff brings back some great memories, from seeing the Shabba Ranks & KRS-ONE tour (I was at the show in L.A. when KRS beat down the sound man) to… Continue reading Diggin’ in the Crates: Dancehall, Vol. 1
Diggin’ in the Crates: Native Tongues
A little something inspired by the Tribe Called Quest concert I hit a couple of months back as well as an article about the Native Tongues in last month’s Vibe magazine. This crew was largely responsible for making the late 80’s & early 90’s such a classic time for hip-hop. And of course the repped… Continue reading Diggin’ in the Crates: Native Tongues
Radio.Blog: U.K. Flava Volume 1 (Electronica)
Since there’s so much great music coming out of the UK I thought I’d highlight some of my favorites, which get so little air play in the States. When I went through and ripped my UK CDs I ended up with about 80 songs, so instead of cutting most of those out I decided to… Continue reading Radio.Blog: U.K. Flava Volume 1 (Electronica)
Diggin’ in the Crates: A Dr. Dre Production
I’ve been sitting on this radio.blog for a while now because I’ve had radio.blogger’s block. It’s not that I couldn’t think of anything to post, it’s that I had too many ideas floating around in my head. At least now I have some good ideas for next year. Anyway, here are some of my favorite… Continue reading Diggin’ in the Crates: A Dr. Dre Production
Progression Sessions Radio.Blog
A little something for my Drum & Bass crew. LTJ Bukem and MC Conrad live in Germany. I picked this CD up a few weeks ago and it’s been in heavy rotation ever since. Enjoy… Be sure to check out Honey’s Mos Def Radio.Blog. I’ll be listening to a lot of Mos as I get… Continue reading Progression Sessions Radio.Blog
