RC, the 45 is rare cause it's on Woodcock. That particular dope breakbeat was rocked in album form,cousin. It's on Sly Stone's Recorded in San Francisco 1964-67 album. It is the last cut on the b-side. Can't remember who put it out Prelude,Delite, maybe even Sculpture or Brunswick records but Rock Dirge was worn out back in the day by street djs.

Thx Jesper,you got us open on your project... I got a couple interesting questions that you can hit us up with an answer on. What will be the format,and especially what is the mission of this project?? Surely,you know Hip Hop sites like these and many others have covered every nook and cranny of Hip Hop.

QuoteVamo so true. It's interesting, watching these videos (watched a couple of him doing some impressions, his Nat King Cole is great!) there's also the distinct feeling that this is "showbiz" entertainment: he's really carrying a whole show as the lead entertainer...not something that happens much anymore. Straight up,Hip Hop should have given Sammy an honorary FIby BM31 - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Yes,re-issue with bells makes no sense in most cases especially if it's already in circulation. Hey,Vamo..sorry man I was referring to the added pix and liner notes,t-shirts or whatever you know.NOT the music itself. Peace.by BM31 - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
QuoteDJBoomBap thumbs down - Biting, nuff said Yes,indeed but ain't it funny in how that was common knowledge as a sin for emcees back then and then the first recognized rap record of all time includes a cat who bit.by BM31 - Crate Digging: Hip Hop

In my humble opinion,the late great Sammy Davis jr. was the greatest entertainer of all time,bar none. Sorry MJ but Sam had more on the resume. He could sing just as good as Dean and Frank,he could tap and dance as well as Astaire,He did impressions just as good as Gorshen,played drums as well as Buddy Rich and could also ACT also! That's like being the Willie Mays of entertainment. Sadby BM31 - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Sammy doing his thing. Notice the only one he couldn't f with was King Errison (Apache,Well have a nice day & many others) worth a look...but remember it is dated for the times yall. 2:46by BM31 - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop

Yall crazy.. But didn't Michael Jordan attempt to rock the Hitler stash in the Hanes commercials not too long ago? I guess they told him to shave it off.I can still rock a Zorro or even a 70s porn stash if I grow it out but I could never seem grow a decent beard.I hated that!by BM31 - General Discussion

GMM, down here in Florida my eyes got opened to a lot of remaining old school wounds. Up in NY, we had our spots here and there, mainly with the O. But down here it's the original shit.Confederate flags still don peoples license plates and pick up trucks. The internet over the last 20 or so and TV over the last 50 made shit more palatable, but in the realness..we ain't changing someby BM31 - General Discussion

Born in Brooklyn.Raised in The Bronx gave me the dual bias,haha but in all realness... Think about the heads that came out of Brooklyn.

QuoteHipHopChiq1 anyway.. I would like to add a slighly controversial album -Nas' Untitled when he announced that he was going to name the album NIGGER.. I actually got excited..that word is the most infamous expletive in the history of the English language. Who better than Nas to infuse some knowledge into a language that the street dudes/dope boys could understand while entertaining aby BM31 - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Yes,Uptown dug that show alot along with Falling Skies from last year. But I would not be one bit surprised if something like that happened. The climate is out of wack and the entire world is down with electronic gadgets! Scary.by BM31 - General Discussion

Yes 40 years L.E.S., remember the grown folks tellin' us back then that it was just a fad? Yes people don't realize how comfortable the PUMA actually was.Unlike Chucks or Adidas.

Yes,Jay..it's funny you mentioned that.I'm very familiar with the album.I played it alot because of the samples. Can't remember if it was 99' or 00.But alot of the samples came from artist that I have breakbeats from.Madlib was trippin a little bit,but it was a dope album.He used some Galt Macdermott,Eugene McDaniels,David Axelrod,Ronnie Laws,Ahmad Jamal,amongst the Melvin.Whby BM31 - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
