Gobble Shocker: SOPHOMORE SLUMPING
November 27th, 2008 |

It happens all over the map and landscape of music, but it has always seemed extremely more prevalent in Hip-Hop…maybe because that’s what I listen to. The dreaded “Sophomore Slump”. I find myself scratching my head thinking… What in the hell just happened? I find myself scratching my chin thinking… Holy crap! What are they doing? Are they serious?!? I remember a big one for me back in the day… Special Ed. I mean come on 1989, “Youngest In Charge” is for real! So solid!! Classic. 1990 Ed releases “Legal”. He was kinda behind the 8 ball trying to live up to the previous, but dressing like you shop at Maurices and getting videos directed by Theodore Huxtable… ain’t cool. But this track is hot.

Busta Rhymes is big time, really super big time and deservedly so. His old group The Leaders of the New School with Dinco D and Charlie Brown was BAM! in YO Face in 1991, hot rising stars about to take hip-hop over, their name matched their potential. 1993 The Leaders added Busta’s cousin Milo to the group and came out with T.I.M.E. Which I personally dug, but was largely shunned by critics, fans and media… I don’t know… I dig it. The group splits up due to egos, Busta moves on and the group left this sophomore effort behind.

The next song I wanted to play… lets just say I couldn’t find it, but I did find this example. Sir Mix-A-Lot, wait, hold up, it has nothing to do with “Baby Got Back” but I do have a nice remix of that one for ya one of these days. I first knew about Mix-A-Lot from “Posse on Broadway”, “Swass” and “Iron Man” back in 1988, then a year later he dropped “Seminar” Slept on a little… then blown away by the fact in 1993 a song about giant asses would make Mix-A-Lot a millionaire and drunk middle aged white people everywhere think they can rap. You’ll recognize a sample from this sophomore release.

The Thursday Shocker: Lost Gems
November 20th, 2008 |

Yeah, I got Itunes. No I don’t have an Ipod, hopefully this Christmas Santa can overlook the whole being naughty thing. Who is he to judge anyway? Just kidding Santa if you’re reading this… Anyway, as I browse and dig into the CD piles that seem to magically appear out of nowhere, like… well like jolly old Santa Claus on Christmas day, yeah! With presents, hell maybe even an electric device of some sorts that plays music, maybe it rhymes with “Fry Cod” * Wink-Wink * Maybe I’ll wait until my tax returns, either way I’m getting one, ya stingy prick. Til then I’m flippin’ & diggin’.

It goes down good with some cookies. You can’t watch Saturday morning cartoons and eat cereal without it. It comes out of a cow’s boobies! That’s right I’m talking about Milk! Milk D to be exact, the former front man for Audio Two.  They punched out the classic Top Billin’ way, way, WAYYYY back in the day, its been sampled to death and still keeps breathing. In 1994, now known as simply “Milk” put out a sole effort entitled “Never Dated” Ahhhh a pun, funny! The 1st single had a cut featuring Ad Rock of the Beastie Boys called Spam, which is cool, but here is the my gem.

From nowhere to somewhere to who cares where… wait! I care where, Damn it! In the midst off a dig, brushing away the some dust & desert sand like an archeologist, found a dinosaur bone. Thought the thin jewel case had the Craig Mack single in it, it does… but I saw in there as well, the Craig Mack full length “project: funk da world” Boom! Gem. So I thought… after a listen… maybe there was a reason Puffy focused on Biggie and not Mack. Ahhgh it seemed more nostalgic than anything, I dig Mack but the Gem was on the single anyway… not the posse remix either, Easy Mo Bee.

The Thursday Shocker: ‘MERICA!
November 13th, 2008 |

Thank lord baby Jesus that all this political and election drama is done, or is it? What in the hell is cable TV going do? I’ll tell you what they’re going to do. They’re going to chop, slice, dissect, analyze, and speculate on everything, really EVERYTHING that has happened, may happen or will never happen, but will fill up TV time. Do you care about what kind of puppy Obama is getting for the White House, I don’t. This thing got out of control and for good reason. The nation wanted it and when there are impromptu parties in front of the White House celebrating someone coming, as well as someone leaving, it is something to admire.

John McCain is a good dude, I think. I always found him personable and funny, I’ve seen him on talk shows killing! I had heard about him ruffling feathers within his own party and stepping across party lines to work with Dems like WI’s own Russ Feingold. REPRESENT! He had to appeal to a base that really didn’t find him appealing in the first place, I think a good man got taken for a ride and got chewed up by a right wing set of dentures. When all you can lock down is White-Christian-Catholic-Conservatives over the age of 65… it’s going to be a struggle, unless you’re going door to door selling Mylanta in the Bible belt.

I took last week off due to some technical difficulties, namely the fact that the person I was stealing my wireless internet connection from apparently moved… the nerve. Was she not aware of the ramifications of this? Was she aware that my outlet to all of you depended on me stealing from her? She couldn’t have, if she did, she probably wouldn’t have moved is what I think.

I love the interview style of song writing, the earliest I remember it was from Easy-E. The song was slept on because of all the other more high profile tracks on the 1988 release of “Easy-Duz-It”, but was always one of my favorites. Not sure if it’s a little known fact or not, but Easy didn’t do much, if any of his own writing, in fact look at the back of that disc and you’ll see the main writers are MC Ren, Ice Cube & The D.O.C.

Thursday Shocker: SHOCKTOBER FEST
October 16th, 2008 |

It might be me but pumpkin beer taste like ass, not that I think ass-flavored beer would taste like Blue Moon’s Pumpkin Spice, but you get the point. “Indian Summer?” Maybe here in Wisconsin it should be called “Indian Weekend” cause that cold witches tit whip has hit, and hit hard (the dirty part in me kinda likes it). It goes by so quickly, “Oh how beautiful the leaves are turning” turns into “Crap! I got to rake up these F’n leaves… DAMN IT.” Hey, at least you don’t have to mow the lawn any more.

Mr. Lif is very good, with an ill voice. I was first introduced to Insight years ago from Headnodic back in his Boston days and have been a fan ever since.

My daughters last Halloween costumers: Tigger, Ladybug, Cheerleader, Hannah Montana, Cheerleader, Princess, and this year Cheerleader… I know; pray for me.
I spent my youthful days throwing on a creepy mask and walking around the same neighborhood 10-12 blocks. Then stop home, drop off the candy, put on a new mask and with a change of my shirt, it was off for another round through the neighborhood. This time keyed into the houses that had the best goodies… Pretty smart kid, I know. You wish you’d had thought of it back then.

I’m not sure how I come out on adults dressing on up for Halloween. I mean sure if you’re in college and its house party time or bar costume contests… sure, we’ve all been there and maybe done that. However, dressed up in the work place? Nope. 45 year olds getting pissed up looking like Frankenstein? Nope. Well at least not until I’m 45.

Thursday Shocker: Profiles J-Zone
October 2nd, 2008 |

Producer/Artist Interview: J-Zone

Benzito: On the production side of things what equipment/programs are you using right now?

J-Zone: I’m still old school. I use Pro Tools with a G4 Mac, but everything else is hardware. The same MPC-2000 I’ve had since 1997 with 2 broken pads, a Tascam mixing board that shorts out, a sony f/x processor and an Art tube compressor. I got Little Phatty Moog recently and I’ve been using a Roland JP-8080 and the TR-Rack for a while.

Any artist that you’d like to work with that you haven’t yet to this point?

Suga Free. He’s the most entertaining MC in the game, hands down.

What’s the last movie you watched?

When it comes to movies I got the attention span of a third grader. The last one I can remember was Gridiron Gang.

Got any good recipes?

White Castle onion rings, hot sauce and Muscle Milk. It’s called the He-Man diet. I test it out in this you tube clip which is the trailer for my new project, Chief Chinchilla: Live @ The Liqua Sto. If you wanna get diesel in a short period of time, take notes

If Starberry leaves the Knicks, you gonna get a try out?

Here I am ballin in this you tube clip, another trailer for my album.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmTDRXsUaEk
I suck, but I’ll stink up the Knicks for 1/4 the price that Marbury charged to do the same thing.

What are the chances of seeing the Old Maid Billionaire in Wisconsin anytime soon?

Gimme some cheeeeeeeeessseee and I’ll be there hahaha.

What would an episode of J-Zone cribs look like? Or at least the fridge?

Tacky. Clean, but tacky. I just got my first set of decent sheets. I got tired of the funky 40 year old sheets my grandmother had stashed in the closet with the faded flowers on em. Not a good look. So I went out and got some plain black sheets and some silk joints for when I’m in the mood to sleep like a pimp. As for the frig, I’m a seafood fanatic, so you’ll find a lotta smoked salmon, fish sticks, tuna fish, etc. I stopped eatin junk food (except when I do my my onion ring/Muscle Milk workout) and started a workout routine so I’m eatin healthier food. Vegetables and shit, egg whites, chicken breasts. Tryin to get my Apollo Creed on, so its not a typical rapper fridge.

Who where the main influences on you musically growing up?

I had a lot for different reasons. All that old funk shit like Kool & The Gang, James Brown, Ohio Players, Cameo, BT Express, etc. Rap wise, it was producers like The Bomb Squad, 45 King, Pete Rock, Dr. Dre, Mr. Mixx, Hollywood Impact, DJ Muggs, DJ Pooh, etc. The MC’s I liked were always the entertainers and funny dudes more than the super lyrical cats. I liked Eazy-E, Tim Dog, Ice Cube, JT Money, Suga Free, Ol Dirty Bastard (RIP), Willie D, Devin The Dude. As for DJ’s I was always a big fan of DJ Scratch and plus, EPMD was my favorite group.

Pink: J-Zone: The Drug Song (Instrumental)(download)

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Drink of choice?

Even though I just did an entire album of malt liquor commercials, I quit drinkin last year. Seriously. Had to stop but I saved mad money because of it and stopped embarrassing myself by doin dumb shit at 2AM that I pray never winds up on you tube! With that said, I like Grape flavored Propel water.

What do you think of the Bucks and their off season moves?

Awful. Mo Williams was better fit for them than Richard Jefferson, but then again they were losing last year so maybe this will help. Michael Redd is the man and I was a Bucks fan in the Ray Allen days but they stink as of late.

What’s next on the horizon for J-Zone?

Just promoting this Live @ The Liqua Sto album I did with my man Chief Chinchilla. Its essentially an album full of malt liquor commercials, like the old St. Ides joints from the early 90’s. It features Prince Paul, RA The Rugged Man, E-Swift (of Tha Alkaholiks), Celph Titled, Louis Logic, Poison Pen, Breeze Brewin (of the Juggaknots) and more. The album is a ride in comedic malt liquor advertising. It drops September 30th, so check for it. Besides that, just Djing and doing a lot of shit behind the scenes like doing music for TV commercials, teaching music at a college and covering high school basketball in New York for SLAM Magazine.

Stink: J-Zone: Project Paradise (featuring Poison Pen) (download)

Thursday Shocker : 1995
September 25th, 2008 |

Year in Date: 1995

The U.S. bails out Mexico and it’s struggling economy with a $20 BILLION dollar aid program. There are 2,000 dead in Rwanda. The O.J. trail begins on Jan 24th. Timothy McVeigh tries to blow up the Oklahoma City federal building. KRS-1 continues to do work. His second solo effort, self-titled was filled with some nice some jammy jams and good collaborations. Self produced, except 3 tracks which DJ Premier, Showbiz & Diamond D did. (“Very Nice”) The album featured quest spots from Busta, Das EFX, Fat Joe, and Mad Lion. It also had an appearance from “Channel Live”, a group that KRS was bringing up, they didn’t do a whole lot, but this track is hot.

O.J. is found not guilty…no joke, they said he didn’t do it! The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame opens up……… in Cleveland?

Picture this in 1995. I’m flying to Seattle from Anchorage, Alaska then to Minneapolis on my way back home from a basketball tournament. It was an incredible experience, ate spaghetti that had moose meat in the sauce, saw mountain goats on a glacier and didn’t hoop to bad. So before we departed form the state that Russia gave away. With my left over per diem money, I decided to grab some tunes for the trip back to the main 48. Anchorage, Alaska has a Sam Goody, for real they do! Sarah Palin was working that day, she recommended and sold me this, and I bumped it all the way home.

Thursday Shocker:Producer Profile
September 18th, 2008 |

DJ Premier a.k.a. Primo

Primo is best known as the backbone for “The Gangstarr Foundation” which features himself & Guru (as Gangstarr), Jeru, The Group Home and a handful more artists and groups. I grew up on Premier, and chances are if he was involved with a project, there was a high probability that it was on my rack. Label owner, mix tapes, remixes, beats always crisp and clean that still somehow come off grimy and dirty. The list of artists/groups that Primo has collaborated with is incredible. Nas, Jay-Z, M.O.P. KRS1, Rakim, Fat Joe, Big L, Mos Def, hell even Snoop Dog.

In 1994 Nas dropped “Illmatic” and Biggie released “Ready to Die”, both featuring tracks produced Premier. I remember spending a lot of 94’ listening to both trying to figure out which album I dug more… still haven’t figured it out. Regardless, this is one of my favorites that is often over looked.

Pink: Biggie Smalls – UNBELIVABLE (1994) (download)

Showbiz is a good and well-accomplished producer in his own right, but the first single off his & AG’s 2nd album “Goodfellas” featured this Primo hotness.

Jeru the Damaja burst onto the scene, first with a guest appearance with Gangstarr, then with 2 Premier produced albums. “The Sun Rises In The East” in 1994 and “Wrath Of The Math” in 1996 are both classics in my book. After a dispute over what else…money (there’s a shocker), the 2 parted ways. Jeru released 2 albums after the split, I couldn’t tell you the name and/or years of them. I heard a couple tracks from one of them, then barfed in my mouth a little. All I could think is WHY!?!? Bite the hand that feeds ya and watch the gravy train derail off the tracks (pun intended), the same thing happened to “The Group Home”.

Stink: Jeru the Damaja – MY MIND SPRAY (1994) (download)

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Premier is still busy. He took over the famous D&D Studios in 2004. He is still producing for underground unknowns, moderately knowns, and big time artists. Eminem’s rumored 1st single, “Keys to the City” off his upcoming album is produced by DJ Premier.
Just a few classics Primo jams for you. If ya didn’t know, now ya do.

Love, Peace & Bacon Grease.
