Make it Right

B.J. the Chicago Kid – “A Change Is Gonna Come” from b.j. the chicago kid on Vimeo.

Discovering incredible talent isn’t the reason why the internet was created (No Al Gore), but it should have been.

Sidebar – Re: his nom de plume, B.J. The Chicago Kid?

Recorded on New Year’s Eve 1987.

If you want to hear to the sound of West London on NYE in ‘87 then it probably doesn’t get much better than this for capturing the vibe (it’s rough though). If anyone has the DJ Milo Wild Bunch compilation this is where the live segments came from. Nice to hear the Wild Bunch and Soul II Soul in full flow in a club setting, especially when Daddy G of Wild Bunch/Massive Attack fame can’t remember the name of their new record (’it’s so fresh I can’t remember’) and that record is their seminal cover of ‘The Look of Love’. Top man.

My homie Stephen had a couple sneakers of his entered in a custom shoe battle thingy from the Nike-ID Studio in NYC.

Please take the time to vote for #2 Hot Lime Andre Agassi joints.
He did #1 & #2. Thanks! PS. He don’t win anything but internet braggin’ rights.

I might be disconnected from the international dancehall experience, but I’m feeling the hell outta this new Mr. Vegas cut, So Dope. Is Lil Jon making up for his utter theft of Mr. Vegas’, Pull up on Pitbull’s Culo? Are those elements of Baile Funk that I hear? Strange thing are happening (no Papa San).Download here.

It’s been a minute since our last installment of ::REEEWIND::, so I’m bring it back and taking it back with some of the New… Jack Swing that is..

I also gotta bless this post by once again strongly stating, FUCK UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP!!! I would have liked to have posted much, much more, but couldn’t due to Universal’s policy of disabling embedding of any youtube videos from artists signed to the label. To reiterate, FUCK UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP!!!

High 5 – I like the Way (R.I.P. Tony Thompson) Waco, Texas, stand up.

Guy – Teddy’s Jam. Guy is the archetype of New Jack Swing. No other group embodied the sound or LOOK of NJS, like Guy. Back in the day, we used to sing “Tooooooe.. Toooooe Jam”, during the intro. HA~! Memories.

Today – Him or Me

Jane Child – I Don’t Wanna Fall in Love (Teddy Riley edit). What happened to this chic?

Father MC – Treat em Like They Wanna Be Treated. Upon further review of dude’s steez, Father really wanted to be Bobby Brown, like bad.

This must be the Alpha to Roger Riley and Teddy Troutman’s Omega

Got this one from Neil Armstrong.

Leaked from the new Dr. Dre album, Detox. Enjoy.

Derek Lo AKA D-Lo AKA The Big Asian started a blog dedicated to DJs and the mind-blasting requests that we have to deal with. I could see some repetition happening, but still a funny read.
