Bboy Salute: DJ Roc Raida, One Of The Best To Ever Do It

yesterday, my Facebook friend posted a pratice video of Roc Raida preparing for a battle with his partners. and it just reminded me how the art of DJing is different today. im not one of those guys that criticize... well, maybe i do... but, my point is, there was time when the dj was taken uber seriously, not like in these days n times when everybody wants to be one. is that a bad thing? i dont think so. i think it brings more of a spotlight...

Bboy Tradition: Gensu Dean- The Art Of Digging

in the ways of the masters, the baw Gensu Dean does what he does. and thats making some traditional hip hop music. i enjoy his stuff, but it was his speaking on the topic of still honoring the tradition that was held by the originators of the craft that made him a shoo-in for this post. we appreciate that type of stuff around here, where authenticity is practiced and adhered to. if ur a part of the cult, then i know u do too....

MIXTAPE ALERT: Pete Rock James Brown Tribiute Mix

James Brown; genius anybody that know me know that i am a James Brown fan. not like i want ur autograph fan, but a real admirer of what the brother stood for and what his music is and meant to so many thru the years. dude revolutionized moden music and was a such a basis for hip hop music that one could almost say he invented the first form of hip hop music... the break. i could go on.... but this is about the great mixtape that Pete Rock...

Graffiti...With Wine....

David Choe gets it in.... still think we are all walls or trains? think again. David Choe, the guy that came UP on doing the lobby of Facebook offices in exchange for shares instead of money (something some of u 'pay me' types should think about), was commissioned to do cllectable wine bottles for a winery in Europe. still think graffiti is something that belongs in alleys and not galleries?  peep this...  ...

SEEN (NY Graff Legend) Interview

i'd have to seriously question everything about ur bboy status if u dont know who SEEN is. i mean even if u werent alive during these times, if u get down with the art these days, ur education is incomplete without knowing who this guy is. aside from his work in Style Wars and Subway Art, there are the trains of New York that spoke for him. and even if u werent lucky enuff to actually see his work on the 6 train (like me), u can still...

Patti Astor, Fab 5 Freddy, Jean Michel Basquiat- Art in the Streets - MOCAtv Ep. 18

i think people think they are inventing something new out here. altho i LOVE what im seeing in the art world these days, there cannot be a shadow of doubt that it was done already during the 1980s. the difference then is that it was done with a lot more REAL graffiti. from REAL graffiti artists. not art school students who understood the power of the impact of art shared in the public space, first utilized by GRAFFITI writers, by watching...

Ramellzee, Toxic C1, and Basquiat @ the Rhythm Lounge 1983

i hate to call it old skool. thats kind of dismissive, like calling all indigenous peoples history "before Christ", as if before then, it had no value, just a footnote until the coming of 'the Lord'. but this here, this is a piece of history. art history even. if i have to explain who these guys are, u are in serious need of help. but let me say, i know some of u were problem still swimming in nutsacks when this was poppin, so allow me...

DREAMS OF BEING RICH

I first heard of Cozz a couple of months ago with his initial SoundCloud upload "Dreams." With a lot of rappers out here talking about their lifestyles with the usual braggadocios exaggerations, the 20-year-old South Central rep comes through with an authentic viewpoint that praises his strength through the struggle. With only two songs on the internet, Cozz has already signed with J.Cole's Dreamville Records. His delivery spits the hunger of...
