whats serg's email?

what do you think of shaq's 'strait playin' (prod dj quik)

my favorite do or die album is the first, but headz or tailz and back to the game ("Diamenz"!) are both pretty great, victory is inconsistent w/ some good moments and one great one ("can u make it hot") and the newer one was trash (save the b-sides collection tho, its called 'get that paper'). I haven't listened to 'pimpin aint dead' more than once but i need to. Belo's solo album has some great shit on it too

scott - timex soc club

jk i havent heard the others, i don't think.

to Al, i shd also mention that any do or die song feat. johnny p will probably be classic

Serg's email should be on his site isn't it? he's been using a couple of them, i assume the current one is there.

re: strait playin, thats some great classic quik material

unlike quik's collab w/ do or die

serg's email is not on his site

are you still using yr hotmail add, i'll email it to you

Why is DJ Quik rapping like that on the Fixxers single?

is there a more inexplicable rap name than "Jizzal Man"?

ayo deej

isn't it totally tragic and fucked up when the penguins put Danny DeVito's body into the frozen lake at the end of Batman Returns?

i think that's dan marino.

deej-

what was the worst crossfade we heard tonite?

-gr8080

hahhaa

dude i cant even remember. there were some rough ones. i need to add yr dj friend on myspace tho, he was good

to the rev - i'm not gonna talk shit about the dude who keeps me from being easily googleable

deej, when ilx was down a few weeks back (for some gawd awful reason i don't remember) i ended up at the soulstrut forums and you were in some argument over the pretty toney album and said some stuff about Tush (i'm with you on it btw, great song). you mentioned the patrick adams musique album. you're just mentioning that he says 'push push push', right? not that it's the sample source? because i need to know what the fuck they sampled in that song. the one time i met ghostface, i seriously should have asked him that. it's killing me.

hah i figured out the sample source very recently ... i forget how i found out but i do know it! Its from some mid 70s r&b album that is fairly obscure (could have guessed right?) Let me see if i can figure it out again

figure it out = use google

apparently its the best of both world's "naked truth"

off this album:

http://ring.cdandlp.com/fih/photo_grande/113125482.jpg

Rare funk lp. Kind of mix between Exit 9 & Ripple. Incl. Broad jumping, Greedy green, Momma bakes buscuits, lost in a shuffle of love, naked truth. Cover in shrink.

from 1975

thank you sir.

deej, i'm trying to remember the name of this lp i wanted to find, it's a 70s J.B.s-ish funk group led by trombone player, do you have any idea what i'm thinking of?

i think i saw it at dusty groove once?

fats navarro & tadd dameron cd i have is one of my favorites ever. highly recommended

this actually brings up something interesting about 'influence' arguments ... how some artists are influential by dint of popularity vs. others who are influential by doing something so structurally significant to the art form ... that sort of stuff is fascinating to me. its like 'deep' influence vs. 'wide' influence or something

well it's only gonna be structurally significant if other artists pick up on it and run with it

trying to think of artists who are popular among musicians but were never popular commercially (probably applies to a TON of rap dudes. also to Sun Ra lol)

Neu!

wasn't brubeck kinda influential in that whole button-down "third stream music" thing that supposedly was taking classical type hongro compositional shit and marrying it to jazz?

(tho ellington already did that i guess)

modern jazz quartet too i imagine --

gunther schuller

hmm i thought that stuff came from the other direction: american composers like bernstein having blue note riffs and wilder syncopation

maybe it's both! (actually my knowledge of the whole deal is pretty limited to some liner notes essays on a couple used jazz records -- one of which might actually be MJQ come to think)

should have mentioned, roc marciano's another crit rap dude whose album i was feeling this year

deej,

what's a good intro to sun ra and/or duke ellington

sun ra's greatest hits (lol title) is actually a pretty diverse & well ranging comp
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epapZ24iym8

ty!

ellington depends on what era u are looking for ... his most influential / significant stuff was cotton club era -- where they started calling his style 'jungle music' -- 1927-1932. i think ppl consider his most influential stuff to go into the early 40s

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80cTeLCcHOo

bubber miley on tpt!!

a lot of folks will rep for his 'comeback' live cd at newport, which is cool, or 'far east suite' which is awesome. 70th birthday party cd has some insane stuff. money jungle trio records w/ mingus & roach are incomparable esp 'fleurette africain' which is probably the most beautiful song ever made. my mindgarden fav is 'side by side' w/ johnny hodges, partic. 'stompy jones' which has an incredible solo from sweets edison

but his real impact was in the late 20s / thru the 30s. this is probably a great comp, i just have a bunch of cds the un-comprehensively cover this era: http://www.allmusic.com/album/creole-rhapsody-duke-ellington-in-the-thirties-r942498

oh yeah when i was covering his later stuff i forgot to mention his album with john coltrane, their version of 'in a sentimental mood' kills

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsm49l5_47I

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6LmSj26RRc

i could really just listen to this stuff all day ... i love the way the trumpet solo on this one gets so close to replicating talking

wait, is there more duke/mingus/roach than just money jungle then? cause shit that is one of my favorite jazz records i need more i need more

nah that was a typo sorry :(

got my hopes up u_u

money jungle is next lvl

rly tho

can we change this to 'tell deej' where ppl tell me what ive been missing out in esp in the worlds of dance, R&B, bobbins, pop, non-rap, whatever happened to the ppl who used to listen to beardo, etc.

working FT means i feel out of the loop on old pet genres

i mean pref if you have a vague idea of what my taste is already

apologies in advance if this is self indulgent

aw

thought that meant "working Freaky Trigger means i feel out of the loop"

did you hear that Jose James record? i feel like you'd like it. it would be less remarkable if it didn't have Chris Dave (and Nate Smith) on drums, but it does. first half esp. is really nice.

this remix of it that came out today is nice, mostly for the middle section: https://soundcloud.com/faltydl/jose-james-sward-gun-faltydl

dope will check it out

deej: what undie or backpacker-ish stuff (current) would you stan for?

(srs question!)

Need to give props to deej for being among the first to definitively call out RT as a sock

which is important because there's really no proof or convincing argument that RT is a sock but people love saying it?

Oh snap I think I misinterpreted the Admin Log

Props... retracted
