When are the Doppelgangaz gonna let me direct a video? The answer would be Nevuary. LOL. They doing their thing on they own and the world is finally catching up. I had a latepass my damn self when it came to the DPGZ.
Their latest project will be titled ‘Hark’ and it’s dropping in two weeks. Maybe I’ll get an exclusive interview with them beforehand. Stay tuned Internets. In the meantime and in between time here’s a new video for your eyeholes.
The Fuckyberg nation is growing right before my very eyes. It’s a powerful thing to witness and I have to say thanks to all of y’all loyal dP dot commenters who have been riding with me thru all the shit I post on these Internets.
Right below is some audio from the Combat Jack Show crew which didn’t make it to the Star and Buc Wild episode. We still wanted to give you that work tho’.
And I even got some Bonus Beats from Benhameen for ya’ earholes. It just don’t stop Internets.
It. Don’t. STOP!
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.
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.

Pusha T discusses the differences in working with The Neptunes and Kanye, why Big Daddy Kane > Rakim, how Big Sean is really a problem within the G.O.O.D Music camp, why rappers like Rick Ross can’t ever really get away from the streets, how he can’t ever be right with Consequence, how he threw a shot at Combat, the possible name for the next Clipse album and more.
Get ready for Combat…
