I finally listened to a Kendrick Lamar song today. Yep, my first Kendrick Lamar listen and I found homeboy to be quite nice. I couldn’t tell the difference between he or Dr.Dre but to be honest they both sounded slick. This track is called ‘The Recipe’.
Kendrick Lamar featuring Dr.Dre – ‘The Recipe’
I got these Kendrick Lamar YouTube links from Hip-Hop Is Read and Know The Ledge. Now I’m wearing a Kendrick Lamar late pass while I listen his Section 80 album. Damn, this boy good…
I don’t fux with Burger King at all but I do FUX with Mary J. Blige. She worked on fries before she caught her big break. Now the King is cutting her an official check.
You can’t h8 on that Internets.
I can’t even stress enough how much I appreciate Reebok for giving me the opportunity to host an event at their space off Delancey Street. This night was like a homecoming for me. I was back on Delancey Street where my sneaker fiending first began more than 25 years ago.
Classic.
Salutes to Combat Jack and the whole crew from the Combat Jack Show who fell thru the event to support the kid. All my dudes held me down hardbody tho’. Premium, Solace, Aqua, ‘Naud, Dave, Jayson, Hobbs, J.Nicholson, Billy Anthony, Chad Wells…
Everybody!
Thanks to Cole for being my intern. DallasPenn.com never had an intern before. We still don’t know what to do with our intern, but we gonna put her to work. It ain’t gonna be free kicks every time Cole. LOL.
Big up to Sean Malcolm aka DJ Profile from King Magazine who came thru and held down the sound system hardbody.
Esso and his band Beatsro rocked the gallery with a mini set. Basquiat’s spirit was definitely in the air.
The whole night was classic. Thanks Reebok.
Roc Marci was pushing that ‘Reloaded’ language before it became all trendy for rappers to use it. Marcberg was the best album in 2010. Here’s to placing ‘Marcberg: Reloaded’ in the top of 2012s list earrrly.
Out Da Box TV chops it up with the god…
I should apologize for waiting until the end of Women’s History Month to bless y’all with this gem. E.S.G., short for Emerald, Sapphire and Gold was an all girl band out of the South Bronx who would be influential in several musical genres and generations. Their music was powered by funk and driven with punk.
E.S.G. was the jazzy disco apocalypse. Their groove wasn’t canned and their funk was unchained. I’m a big fan of the Go-Gos and the Bangles but E.S.G.has the womb from where those bands were birthed. Rap music would also owe a debt of samplitude to these funky sisters from the South Bronx.
Just try and imagine the scene while UFO plays over massive speakers and B-boys break the night away.
Thank you E.S.G.
