No- Really Soulja Boy, Eat A Dick.

(Taken from XXLMAG.COM)

THIS IS A WORTHY READ, SPEND A MINUTE FOOL.

When I saw, yesterday, that Ice T had issued a drop on some mixtape, talking about how Soulja Boy single handedly ruined hip-hop, and how he should eat a dick, I should have known it would only be a matter of time before Soulja Boy would mount some sort of response.

After all, Soulja Boy has a history of this kind of thing. Last year, when the GZA happened to mention at one of his shows the fact that Soulja Boy is single handedly ruining hip-hop, Soulja Boy had the sheer balls to talk shit about the GZA.

In an interview, Soulja Boy was talking about how he didn’t even know who the GZA was, and how Mr. Collipark or somebody had to sit him down and explain to him that the GZA was a member of the Wu-Tang Clan, which was a big rap group back in the 1990s.

In a post here, I suggested that the reason Soulja Boy didn’t just log onto Wikipedia and find out for himself might be that he can’t read. Around that same time, I had heard (I think I actually read it in Wikipedia, oddly enough), that both him and his weed carrier, A-rab, both failed the ninth grade twice, before finally dropping out of high school.

But it could be the case that Soulja Boy can read, at least on like a fifth grade level, and the reason he doesn’t bother to learn about any of the pioneers of this shit until they’ve made it a point to come out dissing him is because he has no respect for the culture. He just views it as a hustle.

That’s basically what I took from his YouTube response to Ice T, which you can check in the Bangers section of this site.

In the clip, Soulja Boy begins by playing the audio of Ice T telling him to eat a dick; and if you notice, he shuts it off right when Ice T begins to run down the litany of pioneers in this genre, who set such a high artistic standard, only to have Soulja Boy and his ilk come along and degrade it to such a degree. Soulja Boy even says something to the effect of, “Fuck that other shit,” right as he’s shutting it off. (You can check the full audio of Ice T’s rant re: Soulja Boy over at WSHH.)

I’m assuming this was less a matter of Soulja Boy being concerned with any time constraints as it was a matter of him not giving a rat’s ass about any of the people Ice T mentioned, and, by extension, the argument Ice T was trying to make in the first place, which is that Soulja Boy fucking sucks balls compared to them. Names like Rakim and Das Efx (perhaps no so much Ice Cube) probably flew way under Soulja Boy’s radar, and he probably won’t learn anything about them unless they, too, tell him to eat a dick. Which they should.

Then Soulja Boy actually pulls up Ice T’s page from Wikipedia and begins to read from it. This was surprising to me, in that, the last time Soulja Boy had an issue with an older rapper, he had to have someone explain to him who it was. Could it be that Soulja Boy read my post about his beef with the GZA, in which I suggested he might start educating himself using the world’s most accurate encyclopedia? The guy obviously stays up on the Internets, if he was able to have his response to Ice T on YouTube in a mere matter of hours.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear that Soulja Boy read too far into Ice T’s Wikipedia entry beyond the part where it says he was born in 1958 in New Jersey, i.e. like the first sentence. He tries to suggest that Ice T is a T.I.-style faker (aww dang!) for repping California when he’s really from New Jersey. Which is just silly, since Ice T has never denied that he was born in New Jersey. The fact that he had to move to California after his parents died, where he eventually fell into a life of crime, is central to the narrative in the guy’s music. And Soulja Boy seems especially taken with the fact that Ice is now 50 (yikes!), launching into a bunch of old people which I know some people said they found amusing, but I didn’t think they were very funny. The one line I did think was kinda was when he said Ice has a “sherm perm.” As you may have noticed by this point, I’m a sucker for angel dust humor.

I posted the clip on my site yesterday, and a few people in the comments section seemed to take issue with the fact that the 50 year-old Ice T was telling the 17 year-old Soulja Boy to eat a dick – which was one of the points Soulja Boy himself was trying to make in the clip. Some even went so far as to suggest that this constituted R. Kelly-style molestation. As if Ice T was actually threatening to hunt Soulja Boy down and mouth rape him. (Which, again, someone should.) You know how mofos like to get all haughty and outraged over the Internets. I think it’s obvious Ice T meant what he said in a figurative sense. It’s like when a guy calls another guy a fag. It’s not that he saying the guy’s gay; he just thinks he’s less of a man.

Beyond just the man-on-boy sexual aspect of it (no Birdman), Soulja Boy’s argument seems to be that Ice T is an old-ass man, and hence he should have better things to do than to sweat what Soulja Boy is doing. This struck me as bullshit for a couple of reasons. First of all, I’m at a loss for what it is that old people do besides complain about young people. And I’m wondering if this isn’t as it should be. Ice T is speaking as a pioneer in hip-hop culture, concerned that Soulja Boy is turning it into teh gheyness. You would be upset, too, if you helped build something from the ground up, just to have some kid come along and make it look all gay.

And Soulja Boy’s argument isn’t even so much that Ice T is too old to judge his music from an aesthetic point of view as it is that Ice T has a lot of money, and hence that should preclude him from giving a shit about the state of the art. As if that’s all that matters. You can tell that’s what Soulja Boy thinks, since he goes on to talk about how he used to be poor as fuck, living in the ghetto (people in the ghetto have the Internets, and webcams and shit?), and now he’s helping to support his mother, and his younger siblings, who are still in school (probably struggling to pass that damn ninth grade). At one point, he actually says something to the effect of, “You’ve already got a shiteload of money. Why don’t you just quit?”

It’s no wonder hip-hop is as fucked up as it is, if this is the thought process of kids these days.

SESH

Sum hardcore Bronx ish on the set today, comin from „Strength Enforcing Serious Harm”, also known as…

S.E.S.H. the crew originally consisted of about 12 members(!) but the talking was always bout the three cats grippin the mic – Lamp, Sgt. Ore and Sigga.
In 1996 they had their first release, independently done on their own Sesh Records label, bringing totally 3 tracks. The twelve starts wit “definition s.e.s.h.”, a grimey n sombre masterpiece supported by aggressively spit rhymes. On the flip is the track “killa ill” that stands out with its sick but smooth samples you constantly get to hear there plus a strong piano sample that is roundin up the whole tune. Last but not least comes “battalion” which is my winner on here. Why? Well check it out!

S.e.s.h._definition sesh-12“

In 1998 the crew was able to finally release their full length titled “4535”. So far I just found this one as CD and dunno if it was even released on vinyl. If anyone knows that please add in the comments, mad appreciated!
Nowadays S.E.S.H. ain’t no mo’, means the crew split up. But u still can find in the net its original members that are JonLAMP and SiggaPonTrigga.

enjoy!

The Meters

The Meters – Meters

One of the greatest albums ever in the history of funk — the first album by The Meters, and virtually the blueprint for countless funk records to come! The album’s bubbling over with classics — all hard-hitting instrumentals played by the group in an effortlessly tight style, produced to perfection by Allen Toussaint and Marshall Sehorn in their classic 60s New Orleans style. A blinding masterpiece of bass, drums, and scratchy guitar — with tracks that include “Cardova”, “Cissy Strut”, “Sophisticated Cissy”, “Here Comes The Meter Man”, “Ease Back”, “Ann”, “6V6 La”, and “Live Wire”.

The Meters – Look ka py py

One of the all time classic funky instrumental LPs, with a choppy tight funky guitar groove that millions of bands have tried to copy, but have never succeeded in duplicating. The whole thing’s like a classic songbook of funky tracks, with killer cuts like “Funky Miracle”, “Oh, Calcutta!”, “Yeah, You’re Right”, “Pungee”, “Look-Ka Py Py”, “Dry Spell”, and lots more.

The Meters – Struttin

The rarest Meters record ever! This is one of the 3 classic funky albums they cut for the Josie label in their early years — and it’s about as hard and heavy and funky as you could get! The group’s trademark scratchy guitar funk sound is firmly in place, and the rhythm section is nice, tight, and choppy. All tracks are great groovers — and titles include “Same Old Thing”, “Joog”, “Chicken Strut”, “Liver Splash”, “Hand Clapping Song”, “Hey Last Minute”, “Tippi-Toes”, and “Ride Your Pony”. A bucket of breaks in every track

Fatback Band – The Fattest of Fatback

The Fatback Band (later, simply Fatback) is an American funk and disco band. Most popular in the 1970s and 1980s, The Fatback Band is most known for their Top Ten R&B hits, “(Do The) Spanish Hustle”, “I Like Girls”, “Gotta Get My Hands on Some (Money)”, and “Backstrokin’”. Their 1979 single “King Tim III (Personality Jock)” is considered by many to be the first rap single.

Formed in New York City in 1970, The Fatback Band was the concept of Bill Curtis, an experienced session drummer, inspired to merge the “fatback” jazz beat of New Orleans into a funk band. In addition to Curtis, the band’s initial line-up included guitarist Johnny King, bassist Johnny Flippin, trumpet player George Williams, saxophonist Earl Shelton, flautist George Adams, and keyboardist Gerry Thomas. The band specialized in playing “street funk”. The group also later included conga player Wayne Woolford, vocalists Jayne and Gerry, Deborah Cooper saxophonist Fred Demerey, and guitarist George Victory.

The Fatback Band signed to Perception Records and had a hit single that summer with “Street Dance”. The single reached the Top 30 on the Rhythm & Blues chart but failed to cross over to the pop chart, a pattern the group would follow for the rest of their career. The band released the albums Let’s Do It Again, People Music, and Feel My Soul before signing to Event Records in 1974.

In the mid-1970s, the band incorporated jazz elements and moved more towards a disco sound resulting in the singles, “Keep On Steppin’”, “Yum, Yum (Give Me Some)”, and “(Are You Ready) Do The Bus Stop”. The singles proved popular in dance clubs but didn’t do as well on R&B charts until the spring of 1976 when “(Do The) Spanish Hustle” came close to the Top Ten. “(Are You Ready) Do The Bus Stop” birthed the development of line dancing.

Now recording for Spring/Polydor, the group continued with the singles, “Party Time”, “The Booty”, and “Double Dutch”. Late 1977 brought a name change to Fatback, and in 1978 they found their first Top Ten single with “I Like Girls”. The song “King Tim III (Personality Jock)” is often considered to be the first commercially released rap single, having shipped just a week before The Sugarhill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight” in October 1979.

In 1980, Fatback had a pair of their biggest hits with “Gotta Get My Hands On Some (Money)” and “Backstrokin’”. Also finding the charts in the 1980s were “Take It Any Way You Can’t It”, “I Found Lovin’”, and “Spread Love”, with singer Evelyn Thomas, in 1985.

Keyboardist Gerry Thomas was simultaneously a member of The Jimmy Castor Bunch, so the band elected to remain close to the New York area instead of extensive touring. They had substantial success in South America, especially in Brazil (with “Money”, and “Backstrokin’”). The band is still currently touring and actively recording new material.

Blood-powered tattoo display under your skin?

This concept from Jim Mielke is amazing – a thin electronic screen with touch interface which can be implanted under the skin and will show information just like a tattoo! Instead of ink, the display uses tiny microscopic spheres, which can be colored from clear to black. It powers from the coin-sized blood fuel cell that converts glucose and oxygen from the blood into electricity. Not only it can show some useful information, it is also Bluetooth enabled, which means it can connect to any Bluetooth device inside or outside your body. Sensor technology used in this display makes it possible to control all that is happening on it. It can be used even for a 3G phone calls, with image shown right on your arm! Apart from that it can display all the health information we need, which is collected by monitoring the blood state.

Fact that something will be implanted right into your organism is somehow frightening. However, imagine all the possibilities that you get! Cell phone that is always with you, organizer, even ID card – all can be done using this amazing technology.

As long as we do not mess with our brain these implants are safe, but, in any case, we are afraid that cyborgs from sci-fi movies are not as far from us as we think.

Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings

By the sound of them, you would think Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings started making funk-threaded soul music together in the 1960s. Few devotedly retro acts are as convincing. Few singers as skilled as Sharon Jones at stuffing notes with ache and meaning might be willing to invest in a sound so fully occupied by the likes of Bettye LaVette and Tina Turner in the Ike years, too. But what Jones brings to the funkified table has legs of its own — eight of them, to be exact — and they belong to Binky Griptite, Bugaloo Velez, Homer Steinweiss, and Dave Guy — her Dap-Kings.

Jones, like James Brown, was born in Augusta, GA; there she sang in her church choir, and from fellow parishioners picked up the kind of back-patting she needed to convince her to go mainstream. As a teenager, she moved with her family to Brooklyn, where she immersed herself in 1970s disco and funk with an eye toward cutting a record of her own. Instead, studios came calling and with them steady work — by her twenties, Jones was turning in backup vocals for gospel, soul, disco and blues artists, most of it uncredited. In the ’80s, however, Jones’ sound was deemed unfashionable, and instead of pushing ahead with her soul diva’s dream she went back to church singing. She also took a job as a corrections officer at New York’s Rykers Island.

It wouldn’t be until 1996 that Desco Records would rediscover Jones’ sweat-basted, lived-in talent. With that label’s house band, the Soul Providers, Jones released several singles in the late ’90s; their warmth and genuineness propelled the act across the Atlantic, and Jones picked up a moniker — the queen of funk — that stuck. Jones released her first full-length with the Dap-Kings, Dap Dippin’ with Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, after signing with Daptone Records in 2002. Years of touring behind it, as well as cutting singles with other artists (including Greyboy) ensued. In 2005, Jones reteamed with the Dap-Kings for the winking groovefest that is Naturally. With it, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings proved that, no matter how late in the game, they are hell-bent on breathing life back into boiled-down funk and soul.

Dap Dippin (Daptone 2002)

It’s hard to believe that Sharon Jones’ debut LP is a product of the year 2002, for several reasons. Given the excellent singles she recorded for Desco beginning in the late ’90s, it seems like she would have gotten the opportunity for a full-length sooner; plus, her brand of raw, heavy, hard-driving funk is such a throwback to the ’70s, and she pulls it off so well, that you wonder how she could have escaped that decade without at least a few rare, classic 45s (in the vein of labelmate Lee Fields). It’s not hard to believe she once made her living as a prison guard, based on the tough-as-nails, no-nonsense performances she belts out on Dap Dippin’ With Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, the first full-length release on Desco’s descendant, Dap-Tone. Backed by the Dap-Tone house band (a conglomeration of studio pros with connections reaching back to the Desco orbit), Jones delivers a storming set of tunes that would have sounded perfectly at home on the James Brown’s Original Funky Divas compilation. The style and quality are pretty consistent all the way through, but it’s hard not to single out the nearly unrecognizable cover of Janet Jackson’s “What Have You Done for Me Lately,” which is transformed into a churning blast of funk full of biting guitars (and nary a synth or drum machine in sight). Other highlights include the chunky leadoff track, “Got a Thing on My Mind,” the would-be dance-craze “The Dap Dip,” the slow-burning “Make It Good to Me,” and the trials-and-tribulations tale “Ain’t It Hard.” Plus, label head Gabriel Roth throws in his usual “authentic” trappings — the fake live introduction running down Jones’ “hits,” the intentionally dated copy on the back cover — that make the whole package even more fun. All in all, a terrific debut.

Naturally (Daptone 2005)

In a desert of computerized over-produced faux-R&B, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings’ “Naturally” is a cool glass of water for anyone thirsty for Real Soul and Funk Music. On this, their sophomore release on Brooklyn’s own independent Daptone Records, they have succeeded in transcending the boundaries of time to bring us face to face with the naked body of vintage Soul.

From the first track, a funk-infused shuffle, the Dap-Kings carve a deep and heavy groove which only gets deeper and heavier as the needle cuts further into the flesh of the album. Through ten solid tracks, ‘Naturally’ explores the many moods and tempos of a group that is quickly earning a reputation as one of the hottest live acts across the nation, stretching their versatility to map out the full panorama of the idiom in which they so effortlessly reside. They are able to bring us back to 1970 not with the usual bell-bottomed conventions and wah-wah clichés employed by so many retro-funk wannabe’s, but by reaching back to the original source of all that good music: sincerity, integrity, melody, and an unwavering loyalty to rhythm.

In arrangements punctuated by bold horns and tastefully accented with piano, vibes, and strings, the Dap-Kings road-tight rhythm section expertly frames the skeleton of a classic Soul album, breathing life into a body of songs penned exclusively for Sharon Jones’ unique voice. In turn, she masterfully and instinctively reaches beyond the basic melodies into her gospel-soaked roots to pour every drop of herself into each note that passes her lips, elevating the music from craft to art. With every moan she reminds us that before Whitney, Mariah, and Jay-Z, there was Tina, Aretha, and J.B.

Whether it’s the hard-hitting funk of ‘My Man Is A Mean Man’ you crave or the transporting balladeering of ‘Stranded’ or ‘All Over Again’, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings’ ‘Naturally’ is destined to occupy a permanent space in your heart and in your record collection.

100 Days, 100 Nights (Daptone 2007)

After the often upbeat, always exciting sounds of 2005’s Naturally, the band’s next outing comes off as a slightly more tempered affair. The title track opens with an indefatigable statement of purpose, dropping into a late-stage, sub-halftime groove so Jones can fully “take [her] time” lamenting her missing man. Elsewhere, her voice effortless treads the heights and depths of its range with timeless aplomb. At times, these tracks court the uninspired flavor of the wholly derivative, but in all, 100 Days, 100 Nights makes for a very welcome addition to any avid listener’s contemporary soul music library.

The Bamboos

Sunday, June 9, 2008

The Bamboos

The Bamboos are Australia’s premier Deep Funk outfit. Masters of super-heavy, raw and upfront drum-break driven grooves. Led by Guitarist Lance Ferguson (Equatorial Records/Lanu/No Comply), other members include Ben Grayson (Hammond Organ), Danny Farrugia (Drums), Yuri Pavlinov (Bass), Anton Delecca (Sax/Flute) and Ross Irwin (Trumpet).

The Bamboos formed in 2001 and released the 7″ single ‘Eel Oil/Blackfoot’, earning them international acclaim from the likes of Snowboy, Mr Scruff, Jazzanova, Patrick Forge and Russ Dewbury.

Their next release ‘Tighten Up/Voodoo Doll’ was picked up by Kenny Dope (Masters At Work) and Keb Darge (Legendary Deep Funk) for their U.S-based imprint Kay-Dee Records.

Making their home at Tru Thoughts records (home to Quantic and Alice Russell) in 2005, The Bamboos debut album ‘Step it Up’ was released jointly by Tru Thoughts and Ubiquity Records (US).
The latest Bamboos album ‘Rawville’ has been described by IDJ magazine (UK) as ‘Arguably the best Funk album of the modern era…”
It was JBHiFi, Radio National and 3PBS FM’s ‘album of the week’ upon release in May 2007.
In 2004 and 2005 The Bamboos toured Australia and New Zealand alongside Quantic and Alice Russell to universal acclaim.

In 2006 and 2007 The Bamboos toured Europe and the U.K, bringing their unmistakable sound to venues including The Jazz Café in London and countries including Germany, Spain, Ireland, Italy and Belgium. The Bamboos live shows have evolved into non-stop mixtape-style throwdowns that draw the links between Hip Hop, Funk and old-school Breaks.

The Bamboos have performed at events including Meredith Music Festival, Falls Festival, The West Coast Blues & Roots Festival, The St Kilda Festival, The Sydney Festival, Trop Fest and have appeared on the ABC TV Show ‘Sunday Arts’

The Bamboos music has been featured in the worlds highest rating TV Show ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ .

Step It Up (Ubiquity 2006)

With their limited-edition 7″s making waves among beat heads and soul connoisseurs around the world, the Bamboos were quickly snapped up by Tru Thoughts in the U.K. and Ubiquity in the U.S. for their debut album. And Step It Up lives up to the hype and then some, as the band is as tight as any modern-day funk ensemble could possibly be. Exorcising the spirits of the Meters, the J.B.’s, and boogaloo giants long passed, the group delivers a fiery 11-song session that’s as potent as any other band performing today. Alice Russell’s vocal contributions on “Step It Up” and Afronaught’s now classic broken beat anthem “Transcend Me” are bright and near flawless. This is an album custom-made for sweaty summer dance and house parties, or driving around the strip in your best car or newly polished scooter coming straight out of storage from the winter. Anyone needing a good shot of soul or a reaffirmation in the sound would be well served in picking this up.

Rawville (Tru Thoughts 2007)

For this album Rawville, they have kept the raw organ funk that was the centre of their previous release Step It Up, but have additionally adopted further styles which are on the whole more experimental and sound fuller than their last outing. This is distinguished with the use of a larger horn section for a thicker sound; most notable on tracks like Tongan Steel and Pussy Footin’.
In addition, this time they have split between the number of instrumental and vocal tunes with varying collaborations.
That unadulterated funky drum-break sound is evident right from the word go as flutes and trumpets stomp all over the first track, The Bamboos Theme, and much of the album continues in the same vein of vigour and melodies that make you want to move your feet.
For the first single off this album Get In The Scene, they have recruited hip hop vocalist Ohmega Watts, fresh from working on the last Quantic album. A personal favourite MC of The Bamboos’ Lance, this is a more accessible first release that will appeal to those who may not familiar with previous TT releases.
Most of the other collaborations adorn more relaxed and chilled beats and are notably provided by Tru Thoughts’ favourite lady Alice Russell, who belts out her usual energetic and lavish vocals over Bring It Home, and Fallon Williams whose soulful singing graces the strolling bass and punchy sax of My Baby’s Cheating.
With this one set to drop in early May, Tru Thoughts release yet another positive disco record, holding true to their keen eye for quality and diverse live acts.
