#Historicity. To them it ain’t a thing really. To archivists this is as good as it gets. Writers, please don’t let this get overlooked. Historical perspective is priceless. And not only do they reveal history they also solve the whole is CAPITAL LETTER TYPING REALLY SHOUTING question and, most importantly, shit on bloggers. This is excellent in so many ways.

10. Marley made more off the publishing of Mya feat. Jay-Z ‘Best of Me, Pt. 2′ (which sampled ‘Make The Music’) than the entire Biz Markie catalog.

Footage of Clyde Stubblefield, the man behind the drums for James Brown’s “Funky Drummer” record, performing and being interviewed by Marley Marl. The most sampled man alive? I just replayed this 20 times.

Nice little write-up about Raekwon’s album release show last week at Santos. On a night chock full of highlights, my favorite might have been Cappadonna rhyming behind DJ Hotday on the decks. Dude is probably my favorite performer out of the Wu. Pictures courtesy of Eleni Rizakos. More after the jump. link

Raekwon’s long-anticipated Only Built for Cuban Linx, Part II dropped yesterday with a release party graced by Ghostface, Method Man, Diddy, DJ Premiere, Redman, Eric B, Ice-T, and Cappadonna, among many, many others. The red carpet was purple, of course, and the press assembled around it could be better described as a dangerous mob of fans. In fact, the crowd outside of Santos was so overwhelming that Rae had the NYPD working for him last night; cops lined the entire block, yelling at press and bodyguards. But New York’s rap royalty were in cheerful form regardless, posing for photos and rendering opinions on what looks to be Rae’s instant classic.

Hot Chillin’ proudly presents the Tribute to Scratch EP [HC002]! After many (acetate and cassette) spins by legendary DJ’s Marley Marl, Pete Rock, Kev-e-Kev, Clark Kent, Kid Capri and Tim Westwood during the late 80s, this record finally sees an official release by the Hot Chillin’ imprint. Cool V’s Tribute to Scratch pt. 1, also known as the original mix, was introduced to the public in 1988 on Biz Markie’s debut LP ‘Goin Off’. However, little did people know that Marley, Biz, and Cool V recorded multiple versions of this classic record. These versions include the infamous Jackson Five mix, an alternative Bob James mix, and an unheard Marvin Gaye mix. Many tape recordings have been floating around, many rumors have been spread, and many people have been craving for crisp quality versions of these unreleased classics…. Long awaited, and long overdue, we are proud to present the official, original, and authentic recordings of the alternative ‘Tribute to Scratch’ tracks!
