QuoteJayBrown ^^Amerigo Gazaway ( of Gummy Soul ) was one of the opening acts . I have been a fan of this dude since I heard that Fela Soul joint , so I was excited to catch his set . BIG let down !!! He did a dj set that was terrible . His track list was very good , and he did some really nice live mash ups . BUT , his transitions were awful . It was either some terrible scratches and then slamby BM31 - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Don't be surprised about the "Grease" break.Fellas Many breaks came out of that era from that genre. Hell, I got about 10-15 breaks from the Bee Gees alone.Hahahaby BM31 - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Sat through it on your recommendation,RC. (wondering why you have not used RC Cola in your avatars yet?) just a thought. Dug his honesty.I personally never got into metal or punk.I'm strictly percussive orientated. But I felt the detachment from him and his pops and grands.I like how he mentioned that he was in a country club, but they was playing rap music and everbody was dancing.haha.by BM31 - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop

Hahahaha...Loved that movie,Uptown! Actually the Lootpack joint (to me)makes the most sense. A lot of times we pass over the obvious. But, the obvious in this case makes the MOST sense.IMHO. So maybe you guys can open the website with that joint playing in the background. Ouch (RC) Dukes of Hazzard?? General Lee...Good ol' boys....I think you'll understand the ouch.

Brought back Elis, so you can see her get down with the one and only Dom Salvador. Could not believe someone had this.Check it..This was way back in 1971, Earth,Wind and Fire was just beginning and James Brown was in full funk mode.There was no internet. So word of mouth must to have been a muther'.Because you can hear both styles in this joint right here. Check out the little hurricaneby BM31 - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Sick. Mummy records. It's infectious.I know the lyrics are crazy but the rhythm sort of reminds me of the tide is high by Blondie for some strange reason.Wait!...I have to say it again... Mummy records.by BM31 - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
A little late to the party here, but will always wish the best for L.E.S. Lady and her family. Happy belated birthday,I hope you enjoyed your day! Peace BM31by BM31 - General Discussion

First off RC, congrats on the 2,000th post!!! If that ain't commitment, then I do not know what is.Way to roll! Much respect. Second off.... TONINHO HORTA - DIAMOND LAND 1988 One of my favorite albums of all time by the master himself Toninho Horta! This album puts together a special mix of comtemporary jazz and bossanova.There is no mystery here,each song is crafted like aby BM31 - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop

QuoteDJBoomBap I think we all can be a little intimidating to lurkers. If its a high school or early 20's cat checking us out, chances are they can't relate to the styles of music we do. While I think it's important to educate about the past, it's equally important to learn about the present.

QuoteEyesGetzRaw the number of extremely knowledgable cats that signed on and added to the chipher was surprising high and ultimately, is what built that spot....what kept it going were the characters that emerged....which ironically, is what did them in. if vinyl collectors are your core target audience, then you need heads that live and breathe that life to speak on it....it's nice toby BM31 - General Discussion
hahaha, RC that stuff was funny as hell.We must have been out of our minds at that sight.I do not know how JohnG. was able to keep that zoo in any semblance of order.I pm'd you back RC.That was a little misunderstanding.I was talking about myself and that being from The Bronx I could not commit to any type of ratting out.If I told you who it was, you would immediately know my sources haha anby BM31 - General Discussion
Haha..dayum RC..You forced me to relive that Bob James thing again. First off,for all the OSHH vets that are here now.I must apologize.That guy(Beatmaster31) who wrote that stuff sounded like a real arrogant fuck.I would not have liked him either.Being there,did not give me carte blanche to dismiss other peoples opinions.It looks like I was defending myself against an x-born attack...but I wishby BM31 - General Discussion
That's a good deal,RC.Your like King Midas as I was told everything that you touch turns to gold... haha. Yes,that's true and it was so painfully obvious, I was actually shocked that it actually went on as long as it did. RC, the legendary Bob James was clueless when it came to Hip Hop in general.The last thing he would have done was joined a Hip Hop website.His love is classical muby BM31 - General Discussion
QuoteRChecka They are primarily a British membership so I thought this place would be a welcome addition to the lack of American based crate digging forums. While neither they or we pigeonhole ourselves into our own locale and neither they or we discriminate against any countries at all, they draw much more Londoners for that reason due to the common ground while we basically get what we get, whiby BM31 - General Discussion
QuoteRChecka although I encourage blunt AND helpful answers here as well. Remember, this forum is closed to lurkers so don't hesitate to say what's really on your mind. First off,my man RC don't get down on it too much because the grapevine reports that this has happened at a lot of Hip Hop based forums.There is a most common reason for this in my opinion.Hip Hop is over 40 yearby BM31 - General Discussion
The Hammond Organ H 112 Model from 1967, The one Mark Stein used to rock with the group Vanilla Fudge (Keep me hangin on') I would lose my mind on this thing, they would have to come and commit me after about 36 hours of straight playing I would probably turn into some Hip Hop version of Dr. Phibes or something.by BM31 - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
I get my Hip Hop and music fix from here Hip Hop Periodic. I do not follow other Hip Hop blogs or websites. They can't tell me anything that the fam cannot tell me here. Peaceby BM31 - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
My extended frinds and family are old school and the other half is Brazilian,so I would need someone who understands how to get in and out of beats, smoothly and without a lot of extra smilin'. So I would have to go with a man known more for his producing than his dj'ing but rest assure he has been a prominent DJ in his own right... That would be Premo (DJ Premier) Like Pacino sby BM31 - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Yes BL I'd plunk down a few to see this live also,these dudes got some real talent. and RC check dude out, no wasted motion either that s**t would make Clyde proud.by BM31 - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
I guess they uploaded this sometime ago, this is the first time I am seeing it. For cats this young to take on this particular joint is amazing in it's on right.. but to do it justice and then some,makes you shake your head. This is the talent that those idol type shows should be promoting!! Watch the drummer get some at 2:16 Peace.by BM31 - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Once in awhile, I go back like probably many of the fam here to remember just what the definition of EMCEE is... I had to almost turn away at DMX's part..I mean that was the pinnacle of rippin' shit!by BM31 - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Somewhere there has to be like a producer right? Or a album art person that had the final word b4 these things were released. Did they have to actually pay these people?? You believe these all were actual albums. RC That Ed Bruce deal had me crackin' up I know...I know..but I had too!by BM31 - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
