My B(ee) = Your Hyphy

I’ve been gone for a while. Heres some new Hippity-Hop Shiz. A hot one from the bay by Keak Da Sneak. “Get Hyphy” is an instant classic . It has some crazy trance synths and the drum kit sounds like the one from “Wait” by the Ying Yang Twins (a Collipark beat) gotta love it. […]

Texas. Thunder. Soul.

If all High School Jazz bands were as funky as the Kashmere Stage Band, the world would be a better place. The Kashmere Stage Band, from Kashmere High School in Housten, Texas, were making funkay music from 1968 to 1978. The director of the band at the time was Conrad Johnson who was inspired to […]

The most beautiful utencil…

74 Degrees…in Jauary????

 Sure, while today was beautiful– 74 degrees with a slight breeze, it was just so wrong! I have lived in Philadelphia my whole life, and not once have I experienced weather nice enough to wear shorts and a tank top in January. 
Global Warming
Now i’m sure you don’t need to hear my preaching on the subject, […]

Top 15 Part Deux!

My sister made a top 15, so I feel obligated to share my own view on the matter. 2006 was a year that the South “ruled” Hip-Hop. WHATEVER! The biggest hits may have come out of the ATL or H-Town. The snap movement made its way into the mainstream spotlight while crunk died down a […]
