Troi Torain, the infamous radio deejay Star from the Star and Buc Wild Show comes on the Combat Jack Show.
I used to think Star had it all figured out until I started making this podcast with Combat Jack and I saw Star searching for himself after he had been voted off the island. Star is still wildly entertaining, but here he is using the internets to get himself hot again. Does anybody still care about Star?
I’ma let BluCheez curate this drop like if he were Ralph McDaniels and drop some of the most fiyahverkx Hip-Hop content on yer arse.

Internets! Say Thanks BluCheez!
We received the news yesterday that Jazz legend Donald Byrd has flown home to heaven.
Donald Byrd broke from the traditional constraints of jazz into the fusion of funk and rhythm and blues music. His collaborations with the Mizell brothers transformed the R & B sound of the late 1960s early 1970s.
You might recognize that song as the sample source from Black Moon’s ‘Buck ‘Em Down’.
Byrd was born in Detroit and his music served as inspiration for another legendary Michigan musician. Peep the song ‘Think Twice’…
We will celebrate Jay ‘Dilla’ Dee’s homegoing this weekend as well as Donald Byrd’s passing. All I know is that heaven is jamming hard this Sunday.
BeYonce’s performance at the halftime mark of the Super Bowl was a cultural touchstone moment. Even if you weren’t watching the show I guarantee you remember where you were at the moment since it was the most discussed thing in the universe.
For all the strum and drang about the set she performed, the clothes she wore and the deviltry she allegedly professed I haven’t really seen too much media that has entertained me like the image below. I grabbed a cover title from the Sensational She-Hulk and pasted it atop.
The ‘Mrs.Carter Tour’ is coming soon to a city near you. DO NOT call BeYonce by the name She-Hulk tho’. She h8s that and you don’t want to see her angry. You wouldn’t like her when she’s angry.
Without Video Music Box, the creation of Ralph McDaniels, there would be no BluCheezTV. Video Music Box was my after school crack. I’d rush home after school to watch music videos from rappers to punk rockers and everything in between that had soul and funk within its sound.
Video Music Box was transmitting music thru imagery. Basically what YouTube does today, but this was way before the internets and even before my parents had access to cable television. Respect the architect that Ralph McDaniels is for showing the whole of Hip-Hop before MTV, VH-1 or even B.E.T. had the platform.
