Herschel Walker Wins His 2nd MMA Fight By TKO (Video)


Herschel Walker used to be one of my favorite running backs ever in college football when he played for UGA. I also followed his pro career heavily when he played in the USFL for the New Jersey Generals before making his transition to the NFL when the USFL folded. As a Philly kid I attended more than a few of those NJ Generals games back then too. In fact when I played highschool football I studied Herschel’s training methods, games, & running style to further enhance my own. Who would have thought that years from now Herschel Walker would become something of the ultimate sports warrior athlete. Herschel is a pure athlete & freak of nature going from running track, to U.S. Olympic Bobsledding to Mixed Martial Arts. This guy is 48 years of age looking like he’s only 30 & pounding out guys half his age. I’m impressed & inspired! Gotta get my physical training & MMA training in. Damn!

Kool Herc, The Father Of Hip Hop Culture, Is Hospitalized & In Need Of Financial Assistance


On DJ Premier’s Sirius XM Satellite radio show Friday night, Primo said he spoke with Kool Herc who is currently hospitalized & gravely ill. The problems are compounded by the fact that Kool Herc doesn’t have any medical insurance which could drive costs to skyrocket. The 55 year old father of what we call ‘Hip Hop’ culture is largely credited for its inception with a event that took place August 11th, 1973 near Sedgwick & Cedar Aves in the South Bronx. Kool Herc is also credited by music historians & DJs alike for utilizing “breaks” during a party or event by isolating select segments of a song which, in a way, became a form of manual remixing live. As a community activist, DJ Kool Herc also was responsible for saving the building in which ‘Hip Hop’ culture was birthed at 1520 Sedgwick after real estate investors wanted to take over the property & remove many of the tenants still living there.

DJ Premier posted on his twitter page how people can help DJ Kool Herc with the information posted below:

UPDATE: Kool Herc’s sister is handling everything for him & has now setup a Paypal account as an option to where donations can be sent:

Taraji P. Henson Appears On The Chelsea Lately Show (Video)


It’s hard for me to believe that Taraji P. Henson is single. She’s not only attractive, but in the majority of interviews I’ve seen her in she’s always displayed a very down to earth personality. It’s rare when you find women who have a sense of humor, great head on her shoulders, & still attractive. Hopefully she’ll shoot a movie in Atlanta soon so I can make my way to the set. I’m only joking. Sort of. Ummm well…… maybe I’m not.

Countdown To Super Bowl XLV: Jerry Jones Gives A Tour Of The New Stadium


We’re just one week away from Super Bowl XLV with the Pittsburgh Steelers taking on the Green Bay Packers down in Dallas Texas. Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones would have liked to see his Cowboys play a SuperBowl in the new stadium but quite frankly the ‘Cowgirls’ sucked this year. No pun intended. At least the Cowboys organization can be proud of the awesome stadium they get to play in week in & week out. Most of us will not be able to get in the stadium to see the Super Bowl, but at least we can enjoy the tour ‘ol Jerry gives in the video above. Super Bowl XLV kicks off next Sunday February 6th. Go Steelers

Producer Spotlight: MOSS


Moss is a talented producer who is signed to DJ Premier’s Works Of Mart Production team. He’s done a ton of stuff that I was impressed with but I rarely ever saw any videos or interviews of him on the web. The guys at Onsmash caught up with him for this interview to talk about his process & gives a little of his history. He also talks about the mix up with him not getting production credit on Raekwon’s Only Built For Cuban Linx II album. On another note……All my people in Atlanta are gonna look at this video & see that Moss looks like he was separated at birth with our homie Bran from Speakeasy Promo. Maybe its just that wild ass hair…Hahaaa!

The Debate Continues: DJs Vs. Bloggers In The New Music Industry (Video)

Personally I’ve always been one to break new music. Been doing it for years & years on the radio because it was necessary & its also where I find my solace amongst the wack musical landscape. I never had interest in joining some outlets if I didn’t have some freedom to discover & put people onto new things. I needed a voice. Although I have been in radio for quite some time I’ve also been writing for blogs & some websites for a few years. I also used to work at two major media outlets as well but just never put my name out there like that. I started this blog because I want to promote the music & interests I enjoy & for anyone else who can relate. It also serves as a supplement to my radio show as well. I see alot of people in the industry complaining about there are too many new DJs & some bloggers complaining about there are too many new blogs. Personally I feel like no one cares & they shouldn’t care about that either. The only thing a DJ, Blogger, Artists, or anyone else should care about is if you enjoy what YOU ARE doing. If you enjoy doing something it will most definitely show in your work. People who don’t do it because they genuinely love it will be rudely awakened. Doing ANYTHING for a check will leave you feeling empty & unfulfilled.

Brazilian Women Testing Men For Head Injuries (NSFW)


One of my friends sent me this video & I laughed out loud after watching it. Seems like some Brazil men are being admitted into hospitals all over the country for massive ‘bunda to head’ trauma! It’s actually pronounced ‘Surra De Bunda’ which means ‘Butt Slap’ in Portuguese. No need to worry because It’s just like good music…when it hits you there is no pain. Haha! (Sigh) I miss Brasil.

Buckshot Speaks With The Founder Of OnSmash About Digital Promo (Video)


Buckshot & Hof of Onsmash.com talk about how new artists should approach bloggers but I’d also say this information applies to DJs as well. It’s common sense that many new artists may seem to overlook or completely forget about. I’ve been in radio for a long time & most of what’s said is no different that music submissions for blogs, radio, djs, & any other platform. Check out FreeOnSmash.com
