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".

Sonic More Music's Track of the Week Cadence Weapon - Hope In Dirt City

Hope in Dirt City is taken from rapper Cadence Weapon's third full length album of the same name.

    I rediscovered this album a few weeks ago and I just keep returning to the title track, his voice flows with the music that at some points sounds slowed down to the point of backmasking….hypnotic to say the least.

Check it out
