Welcome to the third instalment of D’Angelo Remix Month at ML. For those who slept, check out the previous two posts in the series covering remixes of “Brown Sugar” and “Me And Those Dreamin’ Eyes Of Mine”. “Lady” was released in 1996, the 2nd single off Brown Sugar. “Lady” is produced by Raphael Saadiq and [...]
Part 2 of the Unkut interview with Dr. Butcher. Big up Junction and Corona Ave! I just had really good skirt steak sandwich from El Gauchito the other day. What can you tell me about Queens? KRS-One used to say a lotta slick little wording in his songs about Queens and G Rap would always approach him [...]
Looking at the scruffy, long haired man wearing Christmas lights you see in the picture above may not give you visions of KRS-ONE and Kool G Rap, but don’t let Change’s image fool you, he is a skilled emcee. Initially I was introduced to Change, a San Diego native, through my good friend DJ Halo, who happened to perform a few dates with him while on tour in 2007. Last month saw the release of
Part 1 of the Unkut interview with Dr. Butcher. Big up Corona, Queens. Yeah! I’m like, ‘Why don’t you stick to bein’ an A&R and let me worry about the production!’ Akinyele would get into fights with him also. You’re dealing with that stuff all the time, and that’s just what happened with G. I mean [...]
I’m doing something special this month, ML readers! Each Tuesday for the rest of the month, I’m tackling a different D’Angelo remix. I’ve been covering strictly hip-hop remixes for the last 20 installments (with some guest writeups from Buhizzle), so I’m giving y’all a little R&B flavor for a few weeks. I’m starting with D’Angelo’s 1995 [...]
And now for a detour: Avery Tooley basically reprises my entire 9th grade year of high school by resurrecting the greatest debate of our time--Rakim or Big Daddy Kane. Non-hip-hop heads, leave while you can. This discussion is headed into...
A question I’ve been forced to ask myself over the past few years is this: is Rakim overrated? My initial reaction to this question would be to shoot the half-closed eye Wu-Tang look. It’s a legit question, though. If you go lyric for lyric, line for line, is Rakim THAT much [...]
Amalgam Digital, the up-and-coming independent company responsible for launching hip hop’s first genre specific digital retail store, has signed another hip hop stalwart. The hybrid online store record label has signed New Jersey rapper Tame One to its roster; demonstrating that it has both the business savvy to lure artists away from the majors as [...]
Steve-O album titled "Hard As Rock" (executive produced by Brownsville Brooklyn's D-Jukes) which will feature Cypress Hill, Kool G Rap, M.O.P and Dogg Pound amongst other will finally not be on Universal/Motown ! Scheduled for an initial July 1st release date, the album of the craziest Jackass member will be released in the fall of this year on another label....can't tell the name yet! Anyway...he...

Is this another throw away pro-tools posse cut or classic material? The common denominator is Big Daddy of course. Somehow we don't think a video will follow. Busta Rhymes ‘Don't Touch Me’ featuring Reek Da Villain, Spliff Star, Lil Wayne, Nas, Game, & Big Daddy Kane [See post to listen to audio] Marley Marl ‘The Symphony’ featuring Masta [...]
Couple days late posting this so, my bad. If you haven't already grabbed this, I strongly suggest you do it now. This is serious business. Another underground cat bringing real hip hop to the ear. Following the strong response to the posse track “3rd Degree” and the new street leak “Da Livest”, Nino Bless sets out [...]
