Hov keeps on biting? | The latest in turntables | Cool'eh magazine | Black Eyed Peas and the NBA
Jay-Z vs. Mark & Samantha Ronson "99 Problems" (mp3 via Turntable Lab)
BTW, did you know Hov ripped off the hook line "I got 99 Problems, but a b-tch ain't one" from a verse in 2 Live Crew 's "Table Dance"? From Biggie to 2 Live Crew to find lyrics to bite, damn! I only discovered this 'cos I copped the "Table Dance" wax from Frog last night at Open Turntables at Bar Below. The playlist for this week's promised DJ set of all-Frog purchased wax was as follows:
Pre-orders are a go at Turntable Lab for the new Technics SL-DZ1200. But $1149, ouch!
And beat diggers, this Numark PT-01 Portable Turntable (above) might be giving the Vestax Handitrax a run for it's money. This player is 12 x 12 in size so it can fit in your record bag. Clever.
Do people care about the upcoming Lloyd Banks album at all 'cos I'm feeling like zero buzz so far?
The most talented executive in the music industry has got to be the Black Eyed Peas' manager. To my complete and ongoing amazement, these cats have gotten mad endorsement deals over the years from way before they even had hit records. The latest trimuph: appearing in and performing the theme song for the current NBA playoffs TV commercial which even has a chiron (that's the little title/credit tag you see on music videos) plugging their song. How have they pulled this off?
Speaking of which: Blog Squad, the NBA blog.
Finally, this might be old news to most but I just saw a copy of this music, pop culture and politics magazine for the first time last night: is Cool'eh magazine the heir to Vice's crown as the must-read for the hipster set?
