Video: Q-Tip - Depreciation

Something I've been talking about with people for several years now. I always veer towards the general public, whom download multiple albums/tracks, as opposed to spending hard earned money on an album or a few albums and appreciating that product more. I'll bet most CD's you spent money on got listened to, as opposed to the dozens that you downloaded and haven't listened to half of them yet.

R.I.P. Party Arty

Circulating the net as per an email or message sent out by Premier:

"I want to send out my condolences to the family of Party Arty of the world famous D.I.T.C. (Diggin' In The Crates Crew and of GG (aka Get Dirty)

He passed away this afternoon (Dec. 4) around 1:30pm due to healt complications...

His hardcore lyrics have been ringing out in the streets from Showbiz & AG, Lord Finesse, OC, and their own group GD which consists of rhyme partner D-Flow...

He also appeared on the joint I produced called "Weed Scented" which featured Guru of Gang Starr and OC on AG's first solo LP...He appears on the new D.I.T.C. Records compilation which is in stores now called "The Movement"

...He caught the attention of 50 Cent altough the deal never went thru but his talent was recognized by true heads of the rap shit for his hyped up insane style on records and on stage preformance...

This also marks the 1 year anniversary of UGH member Pimp C who passed away this same day last year...We love you and will miss you both... R.I.P. Arty... DJ Premier"

Absolutely dissapointed. Such a dope voice and emcee.

Redman is ill...

http://vimeo.com/1747248?pg=embed&sec=1747248 from Broccolicity TV on Vimeo.

Oh My God!!

A Week Later...

Have been in the process of moving for the past week and haven't had any internet access. Stay tuned... I'll be back shortly.

Just some thoughts...

Perhaps people that work the events can appreciate my point of view more than the average person that attends a show? But, has it gotten to the point where over the years everyone has become so laid back (apathetic really) that formalities have been completely forgotten? Case in point: while dj'ing on stage or while emcee's are performing, friends/acquantances of said dj or emcee, stroll up on stage to say goodbye or say whassup and try and talk. I guess this is more of said dj than emcee. It hasn't gotten so bad that people are bothering an emcee while they're performing, however I'm a dj, so perhaps emcee's can divulge their own scenarios.

Bottom line is, I'm tired of it and I think that situations as such can be amounted to the vast growing number of 'half assed' shows. Well, I grew up on Kane and there "Ain't No Half Steppin'"!!!! If small things like show bouncers were blocking people from 'strolling' on stage, perhaps this would contribute a small piece towards performing a better show for crowds. It took me a long time to realise that some of the so called 'bullshit' (tedious extras) are actually instilled for a fucking reason.

I'm all for doing away with unnecessary formalities that perhaps shouldn't exist, however I am all for some formalities in order to put on a more professional and entertaining show for spectators. What goes around comes around. Weak show, weak turn-outs. Solid show, solid turn-outs.

No disrespect homie, but I'll check you later... I'M WORKING RIGHT NOW!

Blunted Dummies 4EVA!

I guess people that were fans of the infamous (since forgotten by most present day hipsters) Flava Zone featuring the Blunted Dummies will appreciate this FINAL episode more than the average head.... as we reminisce over you...

The Flava Zone feat. The Blunted Dummies FINAL SHOW

April 20th, 1996 PART I
April 20th, 1996 PART II

If anyone has any pictures of people at the station in them days, hit me up! I've been asking for years...

Airing on CKCU 93.1 FM every Saturday night/Sunday morning, "The Flava Zone" began sometime in 1993 every week from Midnight-2am. Prominent business owner and promoter Kevin Bradley, DJ Trevor Walker and, if I'm not mistaken, I think a third person were the originators. Not too long after the show had commenced The Blunted Dummies were introduced, injecting fresh voices of the youth as hosts/co-hosts to the already ill show. With DJ Trevor Walker providing new rap music and the Dummies with humour and info., the Flava Zone was a massive success amongst hip hop heads. While Ottawa's other main hip hop show provided a bit more of a mixture of reggae, rn'b and rap, the Flava Zone filled a void with it's raw hip hop tracks.

Sometime moving into the show's 3rd year DJ Trevor Walker left the show, leaving the responsibility of 'DJ' to the Blunted Dummies, as the other original members of the show had also moved on. Over a period of a few to several months the lack of an actual DJ proved an opportunity in disguise for a couple of local up-n-coming DJ's Dave C. & Duckets who began spinning on the show in the fall of '95.

However, as politics would have it the Flava Zone met it's demise on April 20th, 1996 to a surprised group of show hosts. The Blunted Dummies, Dave C. & Duckets as well as it's listeners only found out of the show's cancellation on the day of.

Please enjoy this final episode and I will continue to dig for other episodes.

KOOL KRYS
http://koolkrys.com/

Attracted to the Atlantic hip hop scene, Krys moved to Halifax in 2003 to pursue her BA in sociology. A hip hop dancer since a young age, she honed her dance moves through choreographing and teaching youths in the city. Krys first used her pen to write about local and international hip hop artists coming through Halifax, forming her name as a journalist in her university newspaper. The Kool Krys rap identity came through performances at local venues and building with dynamic east coast artists. In 2007, Krys recorded her debut album, The Return of Diana Prince, featuring talented Halifax artists and production by Bix. Since then, she has returned to her hometown, Ottawa, where she has pursued public relations and is working on her next album. Stay tuned!

Man it was humid on Friday night. Spun at Standard in the market on a bar that was a bit high, but I still rocked the house none-the-less. Some girl requested Stevie Wonder's "Superstition", which I thought was kinda dope. Never heard a request for that one before. I didn't have it, but made sure to play it for her in spirit the following night at Standard on Elgin St. Dee Jay Frame hit me up and said to come though... Was fun, but happy to have chilled out today.

This Tuesday night Dj Drastik will be at Barrister's aka Parliament Pub throwing down jointz alongside Frame, but I'll be in the mix next week... Really looking forward to that!

Thursday I'll be at Babylon for a special edition of "One Love". Frame and I will be holding down the decks and Kool Krys and The Bunker Boyz will be performing.

Red n' Meth

Good ol' Red n' Meth have been back in the studio recording new material.  I confirmed this by way of MTV's interview with Method Man who was, "previewing some of his new tracks with Redman."  (Click on picture for MTV source link). The latest to surface is a track over the Broken Language instrumental.  Definitely dope and long over due in my opinion.  As well, I heard a joint over at http://www.HipHopGame.com featuring Red & D Dot over a really dope, innovative beat.  Definitely worth checking out.

On another note, my personal beef lately is wack emcee's.  How the fuck is it becoming so terrible?  It seems to me that we're being infiltrated on the regular and in triple the dosage.  Time to pull out my copy of Sun Tzu's "Art of War".  Enough is enough...  I can't handle too much more.  It's been this way for way too long and if things come back around...  it can't come back around soon enough!

New episode's are up!

Peaceful Journey
