R.I.P. 2008 & A HAPPY NEW YEAR

R.I.P. 2008, What a crazy year this was! Gas prizes skyrocketed and the economy crashed. China hosted the Summer Olympics. Phelps won seven gold medals, Bolt broke some records and a 9 year old girl lip-synced at the opening ceremonies. Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United Kicked ass. Spain had the best European national soccer team and KG & PP beat Kobe in the NBA finals. Tyree's incredible catch to help his Giants win the Super Bowl, Blaxico shot himself in the knee (wtf?) Mumbai was held hostage and Somolian Pirates hijacked everything in sight. We had scientists try to recreate the big bang and a swiss astronomer found new planets out in the open sky. Suicide bombers in Irak, civil wars in Congo and Sri Lanka, rebelling monks in Tibet. The New York governor got caught with a high priced call girl. OJ got caught stealing his own stuff and R Kelly got acquitted. We had a President get a pair of shoes thrown at him. We saw an eyewinking hockey mom go on a 150’000 $ shopping spree, saw Hilary mess up and McCain got even older. We had a man who used to be a woman get pregnant. We had an insane Austrian father keep his daughter for 24 years in some kind of basement, raping her and fathering seven children!!. We also lost Isaac Hayes, Bernie Mack and Heath Ledger. We saw Lil Wayne turn into a rock star and heard Kanye sing. We saw jeans get tighter, heard everyone use Autotune and yes… we saw Obama win !!

I wish you all a very happy and safe 2009 filled with peace and love

SOUNDING LIKE KANYE

Here's more proof that Autotune can make anything sound good. I can't wait to hear Santa sing Jingle Bells with some voice correcting devise on a Ron Browz beat, you know, something to pump in his pimped out candy dripping topdown open sleigh...

BEAT STREET: SANTA'S RAP - TREACHEROUS THREE

This is timeless! not only a great song but also one of the best scene's in the Beat Street movie from wayyyy back (with Doug E. Fresh beatboxing). Kool Moe Dee and The Treacherous Three were dope, whatchy'all know about that!! Anyways, I did this song in junior high school and then performed it just about every year for my parents after Christmas dinner until I was like 16 and I still love it to death...

HOW VINYL IS MADE

In this new era of mp3's and Serato, I thought I'd give some props to the whole "save the vinyl movement". I jacked this from www.hedj.com, (big up to them!!). Go check'em for more info about the history of vinyl and the whole vinyl vs digital saga, they got good sh*t on their page.

Disc records for audio have been manufactured since the late 19th century.
Although the process has changed gradually over the years, the basic principles of sound recording to disc have remained the same as the very first experiments.

LIL WAYNE - HIP HOP ALBUM OF THE YEAR

Lil Weezy gets the number 3 spot on the Rolling Stone Best album of the Year list Behind TV On The Radio and Bob Dylan.

The most eagerly anticipated hip-hop album of the decade is also the best, from the joyously silly Auto-Tune-on-steroids chart-topper, "Lollipop," to the uproarious "Dr. Carter," in which Wayne dons scrubs to revive moribund hip-hop. The dadaist punch lines hit their marks, but Lil Wayne's greatness lies not just in what he says, but in the way he says it — the virtuoso variations in mood and meter, tone and timbre that mark the MC, as much as any singer, as one of 21st-century pop's great vocal stylists.

WHATCHA LOOKIN AT?

CORNEL WEST & BIG BOI

I had the honor to talk to Cornel West at The Montreux Jazz Festival last year after Jill Scott's concert backstage. I was so shocked to see him there that I couldn't even ask him any good questions.... He's probably the smartest person I've ever met. Anyways, this man drops science ever time he speaks. Watch him give major props to Big Boi.
