MR FRESH & MASTER TMD - Ghetto Life (Oakland, CA, 510) See if your hood is represented.įUTURE - The Prelude (Westville, NJ, 609) Let's call this the warmup act: a mixtape of old school rapp from beyond the 5 boroughs, all from different Area Codes. The twist this year is that Wolf will be VJ'ing the parties - that is, spinning music videos. These are undeniably some of the best parties in Los Angeles. He's done this the last three years, first the 666 Tour, and then the 777 Tour last year. 1st til Aug 8th, Peanut Butter Wolf will play 8 straight nights, and 8 different venues, playing 8 different genres - never repeating the same song. This Stones Throw Podcast is the precursor to PB Wolf's 888 Tour. As the CEO of Stones Throw Records, he has his fingerprints on some of the illest music, parties, and trends surrounding the urban subculture of the Mecca of Cool (aka Los Angeles). Peanut Butter Wolf is at the forefront of the L.A. To this day, this song is sicker than your average. Mobb Deep went on sample it for their bassline in" Quiet Storm," but they slowed it waaaaaay down. Melle Mel - White Lines (Don't Don't Do It) Instantaneously, the sample is recognizable as Grandmaster Flash's "White Lines." Instead of stealing the loop from the actual record, the Sugar Hill house band replayed groove for their version. In fact, "Cavern" is so dope, I've actually heard it played in hip-hop and dance clubs, and I actually prefer it to it's sampled hip-hop counterpart. In 1983, they released a track called "Cavern" that would be the inspiration for one of the most classic of classic hip hop songs. Their music was essentially groove based, influenced by the many different sources, funk, dub reggae of the 1970s, and primarily punk in its do it yourself garage approach. Although their catalogue is small and records were printed at a very low quantity., their impact in the clubs has been huge. The samples comes from an obscure New York post-punk band called Liquid Liquid. This week we're taking a look at one of the freshest and most notable bass samples in hip-hop. (Our weekly look back at the original songs your favorite Hip-Hop records sampled) Damn you Fox, fucking up my shit again! Nas was right about you, you no good good-for-nuthins. Doodle Bug was cut off when Fox rudely cut away to commercial. This performance only features the first 2 verses f the song. I miss the days when being cool was actually cool. They were so smooth with it, and the Jazz-influenced vibes they provided were so cool. Digable was, is, and will always be one of my favorite rap groups, and in my opinion always overlooked. Seriously.Īnyway, this is an old school video of Digable Planets performing "Rebirth of Slick" on In Living Color.
That might be one of the Top 10 worst rap names of all time. Homies don't homies have wack ass nicknames. I wonder what Butterfly scored on his SAT? And why the hell was his name Butterfly? Granted, the whole crew had insect names, but he couldn't think of a doper insect that a butterfly? I know the Beatles and Flea were taken, but what about June Bug or Dragonfly? And nobody questioned his choice? I would have said something. A Key is to Lock, as Digable Planets is to Rap. Fuck a simile and a metaphor, Digable Planets stepped their grammar game up and dropped analogies.
