Erotic City (George Clinton VS Prince)



not too many folks can cover Prince while still being in their niche......
I've seen the song get covered by Puff "Last Night" and Ashanti "Hey Baby" and u gotta admit, if Dream has a signature drum kit the original owner would be Prince.
But my dad's favorite band ever...Parliment Funkadelic rock it, dope!

I've been getting approached alot by people who songwrite or want to succesfully songwrite on a major scale and would like to collaborate with me in order to pitch ideas to artist and labels, ah la, Dream and Tricky, Keri and Po Low, Neyo and Stargate, and so forth...
I am completly open to working with people who are 100% focused on it...it's not a hobby for me, or Def...So if that is what your interest is..and you have ideas, feel free to email me @ historynthamakin@yahoo.com or hit up Def.
Also, I make music every day....so If your not practicing your craft routinely, you might want to think about the seriousness of it to you.

Ja Rule-The Rule Is Back Interview Pt.1



I'm sure @ some point when i was younger i danced to some of his hits...but im just not getting his phsycy rite now. Like, why are you still doing this? ....you got bread right? so why?....Nobody's looking for another Ja LP. And what really bothers me, is the part in the interview where he says I made tracks goin @ 50 too....
Like, I dont think he knows he lost..
Somewhere deep down inside he does...but on the outside..you get this interview.
And of course, he wants to bring back Ja Rule the street rapper....Word?...
Whats up with the old cats, like, put the young cats on...the ones that remind you of them...
Dont oversaturate us with you. Go A&R or produce or something, you can't honestly think people are gonna believe you are thuggin' and killing niggas @ 40 and then coming back and making records about it?
Who cares if you sang and made melodies, good music is good music...just make good music!

Whitewash Trailer



Found this lil piece of interestingness (no its not a real word) over @ Okayplayer.com

"Film buffs will be excited for the new documentary, Whitewash, which we've mentioned before on OKP. The doc explores race in America through the struggles and history of black surfers, and is narrated by Ben Harper and Black Thought. The movie also features music by The Roots and Erykah Badu. Watch the full trailer above. Still in the indie-film faze, you can only see this flick at exclusive screenings in NYC"


A topic seldom covered...
No matter what you do if you are doing anything untypical of the stereo type placed on black people someone will accuse you of being "White"
*Sigh*
Being different isnt "White" is being counter what is expected
which is exceptional
Just now!
I have decided 2 do a song about it on the "Def Sound is Anything" album
Yes.
Music and film that matters.

Timbo the King



Timbaland is definitly in my top 5 producers all time(think of all the early Aaliyah/Ginuwine/Missy)...Neptunes r in there.....Quincy.....Premo....no particular order...
What's funny is Ye and Dre might not even be in my top 8 producers....yea i kno..
but when u consider guys like Teddy Riley (before you hate on him, please note : Pharrell and Tim did come from under his wing....then think Guy, Blackstreet, Even some of MJ's hits)
I know this guy hasnt been around as long as those other vets, but Just Blaze circa Dynasty/Blueprint..(U dont know/Girls Girls Girls/Song cry/Oh Boy/Hovi Baby/Pump it Up)
Dj Quik circa Rhythamalism.....Im taking everything off that album vs Ye's production...only 1 I'd say would match it is Late Registration...and Im a Ye fan.
Dre's the better engineer...he makes piano's and big drums sound HUGE...

also check out that song @ the end of the vid..people forget they was all dissing in that track....Nelly F vs Fergie...Tim vs Stortch....JT vs Prince....

Becks 24 hour album

Record Club: Velvet Underground & Nico 'Sunday Morning' from Beck Hansen on Vimeo.



Beck plans on completing an entire project in 24 hours 4 his website... Peep

"We’ve been working on changes to the website for the last few months. We’ll be adding new sections as they’re ready. The first one to be added is called Record Club, an informal meeting of various people to record an album in a day. An album will be chosen to be reinterpreted and used as a framework. Nothing rehearsed or arranged ahead of time. A track will be uploaded once a week on beck.com as well as through the web sites of those involved with the project.

For this first edition, after lengthy deliberation and coming close to covering Digital Underground’s Sex Packets, all present voted in favor of the ‘other’ Underground’s The Velvet Underground & Nico. Participants included this time around are Nigel Godrich, Joey Waronker, Brian Lebarton, Bram Inscore, Yo, Giovanni Ribisi, Chris Holmes, and from Iceland, special guest Thorunn Magnusdottir, and myself. Thanks to everyone who helped put this together, and to all of you for indulging in this experiment. More soon."
