What's upper?

Attention RAP ATTACK Reporters & record label reps, this Wednesday, December 13, 2006 will be our last day to report your playlist for 2006. We will be back in effect on Wednesday, January 10, 2006. I will be cleaning house during the month of December, dropping reporters & adding new reporters...

Last Thursday was the night in NY where we were supposed to celebrate the late Justo's "10th Annual Mixtape Awards." What was to be a night honoring the mixtape dj's, etc. & the memory of Justo turned out to be somewhat of a sad evening. Here's the exclusive 411 on what went down from AllHipHop.com's, Roman Wolfe:

Hundreds of fans and industry executives braved the frigid New York cold for Justo's 10th Annual Mixtape Awards, which were held at the famed Apollo Theater in Harlem last night (Dec. 7).
What was supposed to be a celebration honoring Orpheus "Justo" Faison's legacy and the music industry's top mixtape DJ's turned into a chaotic scene, with many left stranded when doors to the event were closed early, even though the Apollo was not filled to capacity.
In addition to celebrating its 10th year of honoring the best in the mixtape game, this year's event was supposed to celebrate the life and memory of founder Faison, a popular industry executive who was tragically killed in a car accident in Richmond, VA in 2005.
Long and disorganized lines, coupled with a strong and ominous presence by the New York Police Department dampened what was meant to be a celebratory evening.

Inside, comic Donnell "Ashy" Larry attempted to lighten the atmosphere with jokes that often made the crowd laugh.
"Hip-Hop aint dead but it needs a hug," said Donnell "Ashy Larry" Rawlings, who joked that somebody should "tickle" the culture into lightening up.

When DJ Clinton Sparks accepted his award for Best Club DJ, members of the audience were vocal in their displeasure of the category's winner.

"If you don't win, suck it up and take it on the chin," said Luv Bug Starski, an iconic figure in the mixtape world. "Y'all shoot each other outside." Starski said that some of the DJ's were only in the business because they were "scared of them [drug] corners."

Outside, photographers and executives waited in lines, only to be told no one else would be admitted into the venue. When no logical explanation was given, tempers flared, resulting in several, loud arguments between men at the door and members of the finicky crowd.

Inside the Apollo, members of the audience refused to comply when Justo's close personal friend Bill Duke (X-Men: The Last Stand, Get Rich or Die Tryin', Menace II Society) requested for a moment of silence.

"I loved him like a brother and I came here to give respect to him. He deserves one moment," said, Duke who pleaded for silence from the crowd.

Mick Boogie was one of several DJ's who had the brief chance to accept his award, before a scuffle that allegedly involved members affiliated with Dipset and G-Unit had attendees heading for the exits.
"In my quest to be known as one of the most creative and consistent DJs in the game, I was excited to win an award that not only recognized me, but showed love to my region as well," Mick Boogie told AllHipHop.com . "I wish the awards could have occurred without the negativity, but hopefully next year will build on the positives of this year."

Sources also said a dispute with the Fire Marshal helped the evening come to an early end.

Hip-Hop Producer Bobcat Founds AGENCY FOR DJS & Producers

 Rap producers and deejays meet in Los Angeles for first annual Foundation meeting: “Meeting of the Minds.”

In less than a year, Legendary DJ and Multi-Platinum Producer Bobcat has returned to the Music Industry and reestablished himself as one of the most powerful and important people in the Music Industry by creating an international, bi-coastal DJ and producer network, entitled, “The Foundation.” Like the William Morris Agency, The Foundation’s primary focus will be on representing DJ’s and producers in all capacities-- from getting music placed in film and tv to guest appearances on albums-- and has already begun establishing divisions around the United States, Europe and Japan. Additionally, Bobcat is launching the west coast division, entitled, West Coast DJ’s And Producers, which has all the top notch DJ’s and producers, such as DJ Warrior, DJ Shortee, DJ Q-Bert, DJ Quik and LT Hutton, among others.

 “Joining the DJ network called Core DJ’s gave me the incentive to do more for DJ’s and producers so I wanted to create something where everyone could make money,” explains Bobcat. “Sharing information is really the key here—.” Now Bobcat has captured the attention of record executives and major labels around the country.

To kick off The Foundation, Bobcat will held their first west coast meeting last Saturday, December 9 at 12:00 PM at the Universal Sheraton Hotel, called “Meeting Of The Minds.” In the house were music producer and director DJ Pooh (Friday, The Wash, 3 Strikes), legendary super sexy Spinderella (Superadio), rap icon Eric B, Nasty Nes the college radio king, K Sly honey with the slanted eyes, the Legendary Mix Master Tony G and Julio G (93.5 KDAY), Multi-Platinum Producer DJ Battlecat, DJ Motiv8 (Black Eyed Peas Official DJ), the DJ for Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, DJ Jam, Rapper/Actor Bigg Steele (Malibu’s Most Wanted). There was also a special performance by new Reggae sensation, Skull (see photo above).  Responsible for producing LL Cool J’s greatest hits including “Mama Said Knock You Out” and “I Need Love,” Bobcat’s career speaks for itself. The beat maker also produced mutli-platinum hits for Ice-Cube, Tupac, Bow-Wow, Jagged Edge, Master P and Mack 10 to name a few.  To learn more about “The Foundation” and West Coast DJ’s And Producers, peep the following & RAP ATTACK DJ's I encourage you to JOIN:

Rap Attack takes a "WHAT'S UPPER" look this week with:     

Nesto (WODU-VA): "What's good fam? So I see Lil Wayne is calling himself better then Jay Z. That's very interesting. He's also saying Pharrell is wierd, and that he ain't seeing the Clipse. Well if homie wanted to get some press he's definitely going to get that and then some. To quote a line from James Earl Jones from The Hunt for Red October "I said speak your mind Jack, but Jesus Christ"...

L-Precise (CJSF-Canada): "Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season. I’m pretty much done shopping early for once! On another note, this month will be my last for my involvement of the show. I'd like to focus more on my production career. Although I will still be doing monthly mixes for Sprint (via Mspot) as well as probably starting up on the mixtapes again, and of course the TOP 10 Hitlist I do on my website. So if you would like your projects included please make sure you have me on your mp3 list, etc."...

DJ LoKash (WNHU-CT): "Shouts to everyone who's been holdiing me down through this amazing transitional period I've been in for the past month. Finals are here and they're kicking my behind. Thankfully it will all be over soon. I also will be moving to New Haven so I'll be sending y'all some more new contact info for me. Once again if you don't have my new cell phone number it's: 203.278.2776"...

Adam L (WMHB-ME): "Just a quick note to let you know that I'll be posting the Hip-Hop Nation playlists & WMHB station news every Thursday after the show at http://wmhbhiphop.blogspot.com, so make sure you check it out, post comments, etc."...
 

PrizMatik (NY): "I am leaving WFTU as MD. Please update your records to indicate the following:
PrizMatiK
iHHF - Hip Hop FundaMentalz Podcast Network
Sprint Mobile Radio Network
"Provide Syndicated Content from iHHF"
You can either put me down as Sprint Mobile / iHHF / Hip Hop FundaMentalz
