I’m feeling so sorry for myself today I can’t do ANYTHING nevermind clean my flat.  High quality bitch rap like this provides some comfort.

KHIA – LIKE ME

I saw Ed DMX DJ last night at a Dissident Records party in Soho.  It was fun.

It reminded me how music should be – real vinyl, scratching, eclectic, clever and joyful.  He kept switching between styles from gangsta rap to funk to electro to acid and beyond. SO GOOD!

He’s got a podcast you should check out. It has this freestyle gem on it:

PAJAMA PARTY – YO NO SE

Those Two Sisters were OK but this is the real deal. One of the best battle records ever. I know it from Street Sounds Vol 8.

Bring it on.

SPARKY D VS THE PLAYGIRLS – THE BATTLE

BTW Sparky D’s back after a 20 year break from entertainment as a christian rapper.

I don’t know where I got this compilation. It’s the type that has lots of songs inaudibly pressed on each side and the first beat frustratingly skips so even if wanted to use the pressing to DJ you’d screw up. You know what I mean? About a third of my vinyl’s like this.

It’s called “Paradisco: 12 essential Italian club cuts” and it’s full of early late 80s/early 90s house. My favourite track is this:

MB – YOU DON’T GET STOP

I could be as big as 20 Jazz Funk Greats if just stuck to one genre. One year on and this blog’s having an identity crisis.
