Respect The 90's

Remember 1991 when the Celtics were actually good and C+C Music Factory was killing it? Well Gerald Green does, even if he was only like 5 years old at the time. In a tribute to the last Celtic to win the dunk contest, G$ pulled on some Dee Brown PUMPS, threw down his best impression of dude's "pump up, no look" winner from 1991 and finally gave Celtics fans something to cheer about this season. I for one hope demand goes up for these classic kicks, if only for selfish reasons, I have a pair and the bidding starts at $500 (they do call me E$ for a reason).

Rolling Stone Gets It Right?

Sort of...

I actually agree with 3 of the songs in their top ten for '06. Gnarls' "Crazy" at number 1 is a no brainer and Clipse deserve it for "Wamp Wamp" especially with probably the best album of the year to back it up, but...



The suprise pick is clearly The Pack - "Vans" at number 5. WOW did some hyphy really hit number 5? And not just hyphy, these are some kids that goto Oakland highschool and they skateboard (check the video the see for yourself). Yeah Pharrell is Skateboard P and Lupe Fiasco is a corny ass skater dude, but these kids are on some real hyphy shit AND they don't just skate but their album is gunna be called "Skateboards 2 Scrapers". In fact, my dude Nick from The Bay was telling me how hyphy is all about skating. When I played "Vans" and pretty much any hyphy jam at my old highschool homecoming dance kids went stupid and starting moshing. It's clear that hyphy is for the kids and if the skating trend is for real, it's only a matter of time before hyphy takes the rap game and probably the whole music game over. Hip-Hop and skating together? Suburban kids will eat it up.

Check the new joint for more sweaty highschool basement flavors: The Pack - At The Club

P.S. NPR's On Point show said this on their "Trends 2007" show: "Hip-hop? Looking a little long in the tooth. Dance music is back."

R U Rollin?

i suck...

Sorry i haven't posted in a minute. I have a new and much imporved site on the way, complete with podcasts!

...but this is dope:

the letter B

3 things to do with the letter B today.

1) Brendan Bring 'Em at Redline last night. The crowd was crazy and my man killed it. If you missed it you are a huge sleeper. Boston does not get this kind of performance from a DJ very often.

2 & 3) Beer Robots and Burning Man. My boy Nick made a beer robot and brought it to Burning man. You can see the slideshow of it here. I have made a promise to myself that I'm making the trip next year.

back from spain...

So I arrived home from my 2 week vacation in Ibiza and Barcelona on Sunday to the typical Boston rain and cold...and it's still August. Depressing. But not as depressing as having to return to Boston nightlife after partying in the dance music capital of the world and probably the coolest city I have ever seen. The musical highlight for me was Chris Leibing's Sunday Spinclub party at Privilege in Ibiza. LIVE, BANGING, TECHNO! Here is some video from my first night in Ibiza: MAW & Mr. V @ Defected in the House, Pacha.

swing it daddy

Ninja Tune's newest signing is off the chain. Probably the best marriage of House and Jazz that I've heard since St. Germain's "Rose Rouge". I blogged it on SoulClap.us and you can listen to some shit here.

I keep my fitted real low

Everyone's favorite fitted just launched a flagship store in NYC. If you don't know Below Zero will tell you.

"Kentucky blue shirt with my U.K. hat, straight from the K so I rep the Wildcats"

All night long...

No. Not like Lionel Richie (although this is probably the best commercial of all time), but like party til the sun comes up. This Friday my self and my Soul Clap compatriot Malik El Haj Chazz Shabazz III have the honor of opening up for the legendary Josh Wink at Boston's only afterhours club: Rise. This is one of our biggest gigs to date so believe we will be coming with some next level shit! Rise is members only so you need to hit me up to get in.

On another note: Diplo's Mad Decent tour hit Great Scott last night with CSS and Bonde Do Role. It was aight. There were way to many nerds in the building and it was a million degrees so they kept rubbing up on me with their nasty nerd sweat. Mistaker has a less hater review and he took this picture of me.

it's big like that

Soul Clap/NGP was just featured in the Boston Phoenix! Bigups to David Day for the article. Check it.

another dance

Big up the dance! Bird Flu...

riding pavement

Apprantly apart from being an international music star Mike Skinner has been moonlighting as a NASCAR driver.

chicken noodle

This song Chicken Noodle Soup by Young B has a dance that's killing harlem. There are haters, but it's taking over with 300+ videos on youtube.

Federation

These dudes have been murdering it. First 18 Dummy and now this:

Hyphy music makes me cry

Red Carpet Treatment

This Thursday I'm proud to welcome NYC party princess and promo queen Oxy Cottontail to Boston for her first ever appearance. This lovely lady DOES BIG THINGS. Don't sleep on this show, it will be a monster!

Killing it

Big things for Boston beat banger, Mr. Foxxxx! Keep doin it dunny.

The Beast

I'll be honest, I was rooting for Dirk, Avery and the Mavs, but I can't hate on Dwayne. He monstered the NBA Finals and is clearly the next MJ. Basketball fans thank you, Mr. Wade.

And while we're on the subject of sports... I love the world cup. GO USA!
