For the past two months I have been working on a very big project, a vision that I had a little while ago and is starting to take shape as I type this. The idea was to get out of the clubs and bars and start playing dance music at other venues with fun activities [...]
I will be DJing two shows this weekend in Flint, Michigan. For my homeys in Detroit, make sure to catch the Hex Murda benefit at St. Andrews Hall Saturday night. I’ll be sending a check. Friday night I will be at the loft spinning 80s hip hop at Rock N Retro, an 80s themed party. [...]
I hate MTV. I hate everything they stand for, and I hate everything they have become. I hate that once a year, some of the biggest douchebags on the planet all gather in one place to jerk themselves off and receive awards that don’t matter. I hate that 364 days of the year, MTV plays [...]
The art of DJing is a craft unlike any other. There are many people that call themselves DJs, but very few of them actually are. Once a highly-respected, challenging venture has now been handed over to the likes of request-taking mainstream radio DJs who don’t know when to shut their mouth, and the iPod jockeys [...]
Excuse the poor blog title. I wanted to make it twitter friendly. That’s how lazy I’m becoming. A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of getting my first radio interview at a college radio station by a good friend of mine. I helped Robo Robb setup his blog, and I also booked him at [...]
I love Auto-tune the news for two great reasons. First, they are using comedy to expose the music industry for what it has become. This particular episode starts out with a guy making strange noises into a microphone, and then adding the auto-tune to make it sound like he’s singing. That’s EXACTLY how auto-tune works. [...]
I typically don’t write about new music a whole lot. The reason is because there just isn’t very much good music coming out these days. As a fan of hip hop, I have come to appreciate that there are very few artists that are doing anything new and exciting. It’s not all bad though, because [...]
The singer who influenced the artists that influenced me. The legend who sold more albums than anyone in the world. The abused son that lived a tortured life from the day he was born. There are many labels for the internationally recognized King of Pop. To me I think you can sum Michael Jackson up [...]
I just read about the beef between Will.I.Am and Perez Hilton, and I’m shaking my head in absolute disgust. This is what the music business has come to. Will has been supporting that no-talent plastic butterface, Fergie, for way too long now, and now he’s defending her against an overweight cock-sucking blogger that no one [...]
I would like to preface this post by talking a little bit about J Dilla. A few years ago I befriended a cat who was a hip hop DJ in Detroit. When I met him, he had recently closed down one of the most popular hip hop record stores in the area, and had been [...]
