Get Your Rage Face On!

Getting ready for The Big Up this weekend, whooooo!!! Can't wait to rage me some Brothers Past!

Check out these BPm* shows, but make sure you listen through some speakers with some thumping bass, after all, it's just not drum & bass without Clay's sub 80(hz~) dirty ass nuclear bass bombs!

*BPm is when BP plays their entire show improvised and without any vocals. I wish they would do this more often.

BPm Live @ Silk City - Philly, PA - 1/19/10


BPm Live @ Silk City - Philly, PA - 2/14/12

Big Up the Bay! Up Next, The Big Up!

Shout out to my Bay crew, Dab City Bitch, holler back! I'll see y'all soon!

Also shout out to all my East Coast fam who will be making it up to The Big Up next weekend, it's gonna be a fucking blast! Only downside is that Brothers Past is only scdheduled to play one set :(

GIVE US A LATE NIGHT BPm SET, C'MON JUST FUCKING DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! And a C.I.A. set would be dope as fuck too considering Allen's already going to be there... rage stage perhaps??? I fucking hope so! Although if anything, Clay and Ian would come out during the Dr. Fameus set. Whatever. Anyway, here's some music we were rocking out to in Oakland, and some Cali classic:

Curtis Mayfield Freddy's Dead (Live)


"Another junkie plan, pushing dope for the man,"

"We can deal with rockets and dreams, but reality, what does it mean?"

Lil Boosie




Usher & Alicia Keys


Dre & Snoop


Pac (RIP) & Dre - I fucking love this music video, takes me back to the days of the MTV haha

Seven years at Camp, and man, talk about a long, strange trip, but I don't have time to opine on that right now, gotta get ready to fly out to the Bay tomorrow, but in the mean time, I figured I'd bless y'all with some mixes from my boys DJ Onamali and DJ Warren G.

BUT COME TO THE BIG UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's where it's going down ;)

The Bug

"Skeng" ft. Killa P & Flowdan - This was one of THOSE songs back in '08, it became like an anthem, and still gets a crazy crowd reaction, and while I wasn't a fan of most of the other songs on this album, of couse, there was one other song that went hand in hand with this one.... "Poison Dart" ft Warrior Queen - another classic, but holy shit did Warrior Queen drive me crazy with her rasta pasta when she MC'd for The Bug at Sub Swara's 3rd year bash at Club Love (r.i.p.) that October. Here, I found a video: See what I mean?

Stephen Marley

"Hey Baby" ft Mos Def - What a great song, the lyrics are so heartfelt and really hit home. Plus Mos Def's verse is pretty sick, though it took me a few listens before it started to grow on me. "Hey Baby" (Acoustic) - In 2008, Stephen Marley released an acoustic version of his 2007 album Mind Control. It's really good. Stephen sings Mos Def's verse in this version. bonus: Download Sub Swara's remix of "Traffic Jam" ft Damian Marley here

I remember going nuts when Sub-Swara played this at B.B. King's at the Biscuits after-party 4.11.08, (arguably best show of the year, definitely one of the best 2.0 shows), weird how Bassnectar was also playing that after-party, and now look at him.

AMERIKKKA, FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

Whitney Houston - National Anthem at the Super Bowl during the Persian Gulf War: RIP Whitney, one of the greatest voices of all time! She really set the standard here, and made people take note of different people's interpretations of the Anthem. My favorite part about her version is how she never loses sight of the beat and knows how to draw the notes out just right. For instance, I love when she gets to the part, "Ohhh sayyyyyy, does that starrrrrr, bangled...." because rather than randomly stretching out notes and having these awkward pauses, she instead slows the entire song down half-speed, turning those eight measures into sixteen, and that, imo, is why this version kicks so much ass! Jimi Hendrix @ Woodstock (1969) - IMO overrated, I'm not gonna get into that discussion, but you gotta include this. Phish Acapella @ Jones Beach 2012 - Not good haha, but a throw back to last summer's terr

I Fucking Love DMX

This is a great interview, lots of real talk, at one point this guy was saying that he likes Rick Ross "lyrically," the look on DMX's face when he heard that is great. Plus he tells the whole story about when he got arrested for impersonating an FBI agent at the airport. . Bonus videos: "Let Me Fly" - Such a great song "The Rain" "I Miss You" ft. Faith Evans - This song's about his grandmother passing, it came out around the time my grandfather passed away, so this song always had such a special meaning to me. "Life is What You Make It" ft. Nas & MC Ren - Holy shit that scene at the end of the middle verse kinda freaked me out, I forgot about this music video, but damn, it definitely hits home... "Damien I, II, III" - I love part one the best personally, though I'm biased cause I used to play this shit on repeat for hours "Rollin (Urban Assult Vehicle)" - lol Limp Bizkit ft. DMX, Method Man, & Redman, remember this shit? Cradle 2 the Grave Trailer - Jet Li and DMX co-starring? I was so pumped hahaha, I love Jet Li, and the when DMX is like "What are you like some type of kung-fu James Bond?" "Grand Finale" ft. Nas, Method Man, & Ja Rule - From the soundtrack to the movie Belly, which DMX and Nas had parts in, though it's really not that good of a movie. But this is a pretty dope video and it brings me back to the 90's when MTV was still relevant, and record labels were dropping hundreds of thousands of dollars for a single video!
