My theme song for any party, Moodymann sampling the hell outta Prince's "All The Critics Love You In New York" into a non-stop funk masterpiece...
When it comes to African American comedians, most will think of Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, or even now Dave Chappelle... But there is also Paul Mooney, who during the 70's until now was the driving force behind the aforementioned comedic greats, always writing for them or as an opening act. Don't get it twisted though, Paul Mooney doesn't mind being in the background, to put lightly in his own words, he's just "too black for Hollywood".
Hands down my most favorite rock group of all time. Forget The Stones, forget The Beatles... nothing says hedonistic creative inspiration like Led Zeppelin. This 500-page biography recounts their separate beginnings, their once in a lifetime chance meeting, and every album broken down in detail from what was going on in their lives, and the formation of the tracks included...
This about does it for me finding mixes of my own, the last one I've been able to recover... Recorded in 2005 and again is mainly house music I was feeling at the time, how great of a label is Freerange btw? Classic stuff always...
So smooth. That chorus is untouchable. Yam Who? on Tru Thoughts back in 2008.
Pulled this one outta the "lost & found" section of my external, and have absolutely no info on it other than it's Joseph Malik on the decks and it's definitely 2001. Beyond that, it's a roller coaster ride across all genres with artists like Shirley Bassey, DJ Marky, Q-Tip, Ms. Dynamite, Bill Withers, Prince, and ending with his own futuristic funk productions... One of my favorite mixes to chill or party to.
