Move the Crowd

If you haven’t heard the new reworking of ‘Gold Digger’ take a listen to the MP3 of ‘George Bush Doesn’t Like Black People’

Nothing like a little Ice-T for a hot summer day (and it’s hot as *%$#! in Atlanta today). Here are my favorite Ice-T tracks. Ice is a rapper who I think doesn’t get enough credit for all the music he’s put out. He may not be a lyrical genius but my man [...]

I just heard that Luther Vandross passed away today so I had to do a radio.blog of some of my favorite Luther tracks. People always say that “they don’t make ‘em like this any more” but in Luther’s case that’s very true — voices like his don’t come along very often. I used [...]

It’s not often that I like a CD on my first listen, so I was pleasantly surprised when I first listened to ‘Necks Move’ by Deep Thinkers. “Necks Move’ is a refreshing departure from the typical hip-hop being produced these days. The group is a throwback to old school hip-hop yet their music [...]

Very appropriately my girl Honey has done not one, but two radio.blogs for Valentine’s day. One is for the lovers and the other is for the lover-haters/V-Day scrooges. I’ve had several discussions with friends today and I think the latter rb will be the more-listened to one.

Here’s some dancehall reggae (mostly) from the 90s. This was the genre that I turned to once I started falling out of love with hip-hop. This stuff brings back some great memories, from seeing the Shabba Ranks & KRS-ONE tour (I was at the show in L.A. when KRS beat down the sound [...]

A little something inspired by the Tribe Called Quest concert I hit a couple of months back as well as an article about the Native Tongues in last month’s Vibe magazine. This crew was largely responsible for making the late 80’s & early 90’s such a classic time for hip-hop. And of course [...]

Since there’s so much great music coming out of the UK I thought I’d highlight some of my favorites, which get so little air play in the States. When I went through and ripped my UK CDs I ended up with about 80 songs, so instead of cutting most of those out I decided [...]

I’ve been sitting on this radio.blog for a while now because I’ve had radio.blogger’s block. It’s not that I couldn’t think of anything to post, it’s that I had too many ideas floating around in my head. At least now I have some good ideas for next year.
Anyway, here are some [...]

A little something for my Drum & Bass crew. LTJ Bukem and MC Conrad live in Germany. I picked this CD up a few weeks ago and it’s been in heavy rotation ever since. Enjoy…

Be sure to check out Honey’s Mos Def Radio.Blog. I’ll be listening to a lot of Mos [...]
