It’s almost impossible to care about saturated state of remix-dom that is eating its own fuck head. But P.tones Delta 9 song kicked my head into a healthy daze and reminded me that acid lines are more than something I use to pick up housewives with. Sometimes skirting the skirts is where I need to be.

But, first, remember, remember, remember the signs. Say them to yourself when you wake in the morning and when you lie down at night, and when you wake in the middle of the night. And whatever strange things may happen to you, let nothing turn your mind from following the signs.

Something I’m particularly fond of is that the term ‘Dubstep’ has opened the door to anything dub related. As if this is a new thing, and suddenly cool (remember, ‘new’ is the new ‘cool’). Suddenly all that dark brooding abstract breaky-beaty-dubby shit is getting is due. From Immerse Records out of Bristol England comes XI.

Another cool thing about kids these days, is they almost have a pride in their ignorance of the past. So I can pull out one of those timeless classics, drop it, and bam… it’s new again. Almost as if 1990 didn’t even happen.

While decoding the North and South Utsire my mind began to wander and I got lost, when I stopped to ask why, the local said, “because I needed to be near the waters.” End of Story. So I’ve returned with a couple disco burners from Mozzarella Recordings. Not for the weak of heart. Weak of heat.

Change. The shift of one state of being to another, typically in the conviction of an individual to adhere to a set of ideas or personal decisions. Conviction being typically static, and change being typically a movement. This contradiction is why change often doesn’t happen as quick as we would like. Often change happens only as we give up our beliefs that hold the most conviction, and in my experience these are the fears. Wouldn’t it be a monstrous shift if our deepest convictions were that of love and knowledge of self. Unlearn cynicism.

I’ve been a J-Live fan for a long time. I appreciate his atomic bomb approach to obliterating the stupidity upon which so much of hip hop and rap is built upon. As an (sometimes, all the time) educator, the passion to teach is self evident in his rhymes, probably only second to his passion to question the status quo. This is one of my favorite J-live songs. Force feeding information through the ear holes.

Pos being one of the best Emcees ever, and J-live being an equal educator… I’ve been meaning to post this song for a long time, but since Sean Sean threw me some Oddisee, I’ll throw this one back.  Thanks.

I wasn’t sure how todays fingerbanger was going to come together. But from nothing comes something? Or it was always here.  So here’s what was always here.

Anyone who knows anything knows that Sadat X has one of the best flows in hip hop. And it’s no surprise that djnodj is always on the look out for anything his voice blesses, even in the 2010 where diggin’ in the crates is sometimes more akin to diggin’ a grave. So let me say that this song is a dumb hot piece of head nodding B-Boy inspired funk goodness… and I suddenly am recalling what it was to feel good about hip hop.  Breaks from Suspect & Jackson J, buy the hot wax from Favorite Recordings.

I don’t have a clue where this came from, and I haven’t found anything else from Dead Jazz Heros, so if anyone has a clue, please enlighten us. Aside from that, it shouldn’t be hard to figure out the premise behind Mr.Fusion, and well… maybe you dig, maybe you don’t.

Another Corey Daye track, this time, fully flared. Maybe my personal favorite track from her. From the Heat and Wheat crate comes this dusty dungeon disco danger banger. I love those guitars.
