darling naomi hooked us up with a new mixtape by k.i.m of the presets . it goes by the name of 'get off the beach' and takes you on a nice ride with a great selection of (more or less) laidback summer cuts, ranging from the moroder-produced 'beat the clock' by sparks over heavy sepultura to the disco noir chromatics and ibiza techno masters compuphonic and kolombo . all aboard! the presets -...

VH1 took a break from creating trashy reality shows to compile a list of The Greatest Hip Hop Songs Of All Time and Public Enemy took top honors with "Fight The Power". Was this an act of giving honest praise to a great song? Or their way of making it to real hip hop fans for airing "The Flavor of Love"?Fight The Power originally appeared on the soundtrack to Spike Lee's "Do The Right Thing" an...

...Hyman's post "*about changing MOG's color*":http://mog.com/david_hyman/blog_post/81866 got me thinking...since I'm down with the brown (and that's word) I do have a request: change that friggin' alien head that's used as a default icon or as an avatar to denote when a MOG account is closed...those cold, black doll eyes are vexing me...I'm terribly vexed...I got a couple lines at the bottom o...

It is all so farcical, but perceived to be so... "real"? by those who enjoy it.Now do not get me wrong, I have caught myself tapping my foot from time to time to certain songs that usually "cross over" or appear in a commerical eventually...But reading the following this morning, it all seemed so... plastic. Is this what the B-boys intended? If NWA in 1986 could see it all now.. would they thro...

In keeping with recent posts by "Cody B":http://mog.com/Cody_B "TroyPowers":http://mog.com/TroyPowers and "WyzeWon":http://mog.com/WyzeWon I'm posting a sample quiz of my own. The sample I'm looking at occurs around 1:51 into Public Enemy's "Night of The Living Baseheads". It seems to be used throughout the song but it's clearer there. Who does it? Maybe this is an easy one but I only figur...

In case you missed it last week, tomorrow is throwback hip hop night. Grab your Kangols, shell toes Adidas, door knocker earings, and what ever you need to get into the mood. Music drops after 6, and please someone remember the cardboard box this time.

...from the Allow-Me-to-Reiterate-Its-Importance Dept:..here's a slice off of P.E.'s Fear of a Black Planet LP that goes way beyond the threshold of yes-yes y'allin'...this whole album is full of radio hits like "911 is a Joke", "Welcome to the Terrordome" and "Fight the Power" but if you'll dig a bit deeper, you'll find goodies like "Brothers Gonna Work it Out", "Burn Hollywood Burn" (featuri...

Rob the rich, give to the poor,Give back the give back, 'cause we watch the door.While I was at the gym tonight, I saw on Fox, that purveyor of all that gossip that's fit to videotape, a roll call of missed votes by current presidential candidates, and I was shocked and dismayed to find that Barack Obama has missed 19% of the votes during the current Congressional session. Not only am I shocked...

This was actually a comment made after reading Bruce's Multiply-post about the RIAA.............but let's start a discussion by turning the comment into a post.............."Artists must reclaim the power. Without you............no music. Take charge. Make artist communities. Write, produce, record and release yoursef. Share your music.........let fans help share. This is marketing paid by the ...

As a tip of the hat to "Ashley":http://mog.com:81/chucky/blog_post/42837 for dropping one of the slammin' hip-hop tracks off the Less Than Zero soundtrack, allow me to drop the other one. That's right kids, it's "Bring The Noise" by Public Enemy, now with 100% less Anthrax. Yeah, I'm tellin' you ...
