Carlton teaches you how to Break n' Pop the SAFE way!

Carlton (Alfonso Ribiero) teaches you how to break n' pop...tell your parents it's the "Safe" way and not the things you shouldn't be doing. Comes with vinyls for "the right tracks", breakdance mat, dance charts, and how to rap instructions. If you like Vol 1...Vol 2 is RADICAL! This would be a "RAD" find. LOL!

"Heartbeats" Taana Gardner+Samples+Nu Disco Homework "Hudson Square (Exploited)"

The "Heartbeat" (1981) by Taana Gardner is one of my fav samples. Mixed by legendary NYC DJ Larry Levan. Lots of people have done their take on it. From De La Soul to KRS One. Recently it's even gotten a Nu Disco Reworking= Homework "Hudson Square (Exploited)". I wouldn't be shocked to see this sample pop up again soon.

Happy Birthday J Dilla/Dilla Month 2011

Happy Birthday to the one and only J Dilla. Thus kickstarts Dilla Month (also Black History Month). It's been 6 years since his passing, but his music and influence can still be felt on music of today (ala Flying Lotus, Onra, etc). He's our generations Mozart, Duke Ellington, and Miles Davis. Here's a gem I found dollar bin digging at Amoeba SF a few months ago. Something for the People "All I Do" Jay Dee SH**! Mix featuring Phife Dawg (Promo 12")





and a lil sample fo ya!

Here's some Dilla favs of mine.




Uncredited but J Dilla flip Bobby Caldwell "What you won't do for Love" for this posthumous Tupac song.




One of the coolest music videos: it's shot in reverse. Wonder if this is an influence on Jimmy Falon's Late Night "Things in Reverse" bit




This beat still works with ladies thanks Dilla!


Another fliping of Bobby Caldwell.


Dilla with The Ummah on MJ track remix.
