All I can say is with all the due respect to Guru but damn do him and Solar got a affair going on?

Yeah, I remember him being on Rap City when “Tipsy” came out and he was talking about the fact that he already had 2 kids and at the time he was only 18 years old. Hopefully things clear up for his and his family’s sake.

yeah i was watching this earlier this morning, thats some wack ass shit.

actually he JUST startin doin that dumb shyt… wish he could shut the hell up an mix an scratch like he did back in his LUKE - Dj jubiilee days when he was strictly doin what his first initials were

DJ

oh well so much for that…

Yea, read his Wiki bio; I didn’t know he was down with Uncle Luke! Seems odd though, especially back in the early 90’s; but I guess the MIA scene was far different that NY.

I hate when artist use the “DJ” title and haven’t really done shit for it; producing isn’t DJ, rhyming isn’t DJ and yelling ALL OVER TRACKS isn’t DJing. I wonder if there is a video of him actually getting down on the 1’s and 2’s to make me think differently about him

He’s actually a pretty dope DJ from footage that I’ve seen of him spinning during Labor Day weekend. He does that shit on the low though because there really isn’t as much money in it as there used to be.

Cipha Sounds talks about it all the time on the Juan Epstein podcast. With the introduction of Serato and the popularity of MP3 DJing, bum cats with a week of DJing experience in their Nana’s basement spin at clubs for $200 and that hurts the pockets of the DJs with years under their belt. That’s why Ciph has moved on to his Comedy event, full-time mornings on Hot 97, executive producing for Nina Sky, etc.

Here’s a DJ vid I did last week,let me know what yall think:

smh

Does anyone support rappers anymore? Only album i dl’d is that Clipse Casket Drops, but then i went a bought it anyway.

i don’t dj at all…so i can’t offer good, constructive criticism…
but nice vid.

Something I’ve been wondering for a while in Aunt Dot is Shanice really a little girl or is that Lil’ Kim on helium?

Thanks I appreciate that,thanks for the subscription too.

I do all the time, I bought Relapse…and with that said, I’m DLing efill…sorry I’m not buying the same shit twice…

This Guru story gets weirder and weider,check out this Peter Rosenburg clip about Guru and Solar’s relationship:

Even with the digital revolution (which I am part of), there still is some skill involved with DJing digitally (I agree, NOTHING like back in the day, but shit, times have changed) Serato is a norm now; I don’t know any club that doesn’t have a TTM and either CDJ or Technics (or both)

So mtv doesn’t play videos right?Well I landed on the channel this morning,guess what I saw?Slaughterhouse’s -microphone musiic video.Mind blown.

These ninjas dropped a trailer, for a mixtape dropping today at 7pm, that was supposed to come out in December. These ninjas dropped a trailer for a mixtape dropping today at 7 pm. These ninjas dropped a trailer for a mixtape. What in the fuck…:shake:

meh… wouldn’t be surprised. as the generation shifts we well learn a LOT about our favorite MCs, Rappers, Groups. Ill be ready for the E books, youtube vids, an other stuff. Its starting and its not gonna stop anytime soon.

went to alicia keys concert. Was good. She looks very very good in person lol. But i must say man, robin thicke killed it. HE had a lot of hip hop shit i ain’t ever heard. some shake it for your daddy she shaking it for me . Beat was so good pumped up it was crazy. They tried to cut him short, and he was like fuck that. And did another song . Then at the end he did a millie from lil wayne. his whole band came up to do it , and it was just so outta nowhere it was hilarious. Sad to say he spit wayne’s shit nearly as good as wayne.

That song is on his new album, Sex Therapy; features Nina Minja (what ever that chick name is). RT comes with some smooth shit everytime, really impressed by his catalog so far

love the beat on that new luda joint.

Niki is taking over right now, as much as I think she kills tracks I can’t see myself listening to a whole album of just her. Kinda like bun B…

/me waits on the new drake.

And its all about waynes court having a fire and getting delayed and him showing up at a show that same night. hm… :rofl:
