Creative Thursdays - Boon Doc

Creative Thursdays... we don't do these often, but when we do, they're worth it. I felt I had to hit you guys with Boon Doc again, this video is plain sick. Keep in mind that he's chopped up the sample, and recording this all in real time on the MPC. Creativity comes in many forms... which do you prefer? Enjoy!

Music Mondays - Boon Doc

Sometimes, its necessary to take things back to basics. We've done that with our new shirt (coming out soon!!!) and we're doing just that with this week's Music Mondays. Today, I have for you a producer that I've been following on youtube for some time now, Boon Doc is truly one of the best out there that you've probably never heard o...f, and his youtube account is a testiment to that. If you love music, check it out. Just like his other videos, he walks you through his process for making a beat (2 in this video) and shows what real passion and hard work can get you with an attitude that makes you wanna stop watching and get back to work. If this isn't inspiration for all you hip hop heads out there, then I just dont know what is. Check it out and enjoy!

Guru

Damn, a lot of us expected this day would come too soon but hoped and prayed that it wouldn't. R.I.P. Guru...


This was always a very motivating joint for us and for a lot of people doing whatever it took to better themselves.


"Shit is mad shady, but I got to get the gravy"

Man, you put in work.

Peace.

Music Mondays - Kidz In The Hall

For this week's Music Mondays, I'm giving you one of my favorite underground groups, Kidz In The Hall. I've chosen this specific video for several reasons. First, derby is nest saturday... and so its in a way honoring the (late) tradition of crusing down Broadway. Second, the "Driving down the block, low end theory tape in" sample is from Masta Ace's album "Slaughterhouse".. which is a definite classic in my book. And third... well... "The Low End Theory" is awesome, so paying homage to Masta Ace AND ATCQ in one hook has to produce a dope song, which it does.
