Isaac Hayes is a part of an elite group of musicians along with James Brown, George Clinton, Marvin Gaye and a few others who have had a lasting effect on rap music. Hip Hop Is Read put together an awesome collection of hip hop tracks inspired by Mr. Hayes. I could attempt to describe what the mixtape entails, but nobody can express the meaning better than the person who created it. "To call this collection of tracks "a bunch of songs which sampled Isaac Hayes" would b... MORE

So I'm still reeling from the news that Bernie Mac has died when I look up at my TV screen to see Isaac Hayes' picture. All I could think is, "Oh my gosh, don't tell me he's dead as well!" Sadly, that's exactly what they had to report. His wife found him collapsed on the floor and he was pronounced dead at around 2 p.m. this afternoon.

This guy always did it for me. He was most known and loved for his "Theme From Shaft", but for me he's always been way beyond that. His versions of "Walk On By" and "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" are mesmerizing. His co-writes on songs like "Soul Man" and "Hold On, I'm Comin'" are all-time classics and his musical arrangements helped define my priorities as an artist and producer. He was my first encounter with rap, and his sense of style took on a personality that was... MORE

A few weeks ago mogger Lester Jonze started a series of excellent posts about the importance of album track order. He's up to track three..check those out. I feel like the final track of an album has significance. It should, hopefully,point to the future or start a new idea, or make you want more. Stax records was pretty much dead when Isaac Hayes-Chocolate Chip came out in '75. Corporate shenanigans, record company hardball, and bankruptcy had already shuttered the famo... MORE

While doing a research on Isaac Hayes who I really never listened to except SALTY BALL's from South Park..... I found this great version of The Weather Girls mega hit Its Raining Men. Personally I have a problem with men singing women song and not changing the words to the male version as I did with Luthor Vandross version of Killing Me Softly With His Song. But this music is so good I thought I would sample it here for you moggers who like Isaac Hayes and or this song... MORE
