Beastie Boys-Run DMC Press Conference – November 11, 1987

Courtney Love covers Jay-Z’s ’99 Problems’

    Have to say first is I'm a fan of the original, don't ask me why I just dig it, so when I read about this I was a bit scared to check it out…..but in my opinion she pulls it off, it actually takes the song to a different place…if that's possible.

    OK enough of my rambling, here's what I'm going to do…first watch the original by Jay-Z (with my Brotha from another mutha  Rick Rubin) , then check out Courtney's cover and let me know what you think.

Run DMC Tour TV Spot

   You don't see a lot of commercials on TV anymore for concert tours so when these TV Spots pop up from time to time on YouTube I love checking them out. Here's one for the Run DMC tour that featured Whodini, LL Cool J and the Timex Social Club (a rather odd choice I might add). 

Now they are not in the ad but I'm pretty sure The Beastie Boys were also part of this bill aka "The Raising Hell tour".

Derek Christoff aka D-Sisive drops Graceland

Derek Christoff also known as D-Sisive , one of Canada's most prolific hip-hop poet's has dropped a new track on us called Graceland...below Derek describes what it's all about:

This song has been through a few name changes since I recorded last Tuesday. It was originally titled Bubba Ho Tep, after the Bruce Campbell film [for obvious reasons]. Then I renamed it Don Mckellar, after the brilliant Candian director/actor, for patriotic reasons. After sitting on that title, I decided to not give this one a NAME name. It's the Asian Elvis jumpoff so I wanted it to be simple.
My home inspired the majority of the lyrics. Positively and negatively. So it made sense to go with the home of the mixtape's inspiration.

Graceland.

Let the games begin!

Hope you enjoy.
<3 Derek

Graceland is from the mixtape ASIAN ELVIS available TUESDAY.JULY.31.2012

The Roots: ‘Undun’ (Short Film)

     
       I don't want to get into the habit of just posting videos on the blog , but after watching this today I knew it had to be shown. The Roots are one of those rare bands that don't grow stale with age, they continue to push boundaries ...and I and every other music fan thanks them for that. Here is their short film that accompanies their 13th studio album "undun"....enjoy
