RAP
ATTACK
will
be back in full effect on January 15, 2007 with an all
new NASTY NEWS plus an all new Rap
Attack Radio, Internet &
Mixtape DJ reporters... First off I want to give
thanks & praise to Jesus Christ my Saviour. Next,
I want to thank my entire Rap Attack panel for
all their love, support & dedication not only to me but
to Hip-Hop music. I want to extend my sincere thanks to
the record labels for showing me their love & support by
servicing me with the dopest Hip-Hop music dating back
to when I first turned both my turntables & mic ON back
in 1980. A lot of you have became lifelong friends & fam
of mine & this is why I love what I do so much. To ALL
the djs that I've met since 1985 to the present, I want
to thank you for helping me break a ton of new Hip-Hop
music I've introduced to you especially all the ish on
NastyMix Records which put me on the Hip-Hop
promotions map & gave me goals to accomplish in many
aspects of my life. Have a very Merry X'mas, Happy
Holidays & I'll see you in the New Year...

MOST
MEMORABLE HIP-HOP MOMENT IN 2006:
Nasty-Nes
(RapAttackLives.com): "A lot of you know about my
personal struggles I went through over the past few
years & because of my faith in the MAN up above I've
overcome those struggles. So I am thankful for that &
much more which include this year:
1. My
daughter KristiAnne who'll be 14 in Jan '07 told
me she wants to be a dj just like her dad (see photo
below)!
2.
Being featured as an official "MySpace DJ Of The Week"
3.
Crazy Pinoy Promotions closes their doors after 14
years in the biz! Big ups to Gene Dexter!
4.
Rap Attack at the R&R Club in New York on Nov
3rd "Family Reunion Showcase!" Our most successful event
to date!
5.
It's been 2 years & 8 months since I quit smoking & I
feel GREAT!
I can
go on & on & on on how thankful I am for 2006. But I
have to reach out to my extended family at RAP
ATTACK & say, "THANK YOU!"
You
have made this year a great year for me & for Hip-Hop
music. I couldn't have done this without you. You've
been by my side all these years & I appreciate that. I'm
a very humble guy & I don't need the limelight or media
to prove to anyone anything. Those that know me well
know that everything I do comes from my heart
unconditionally"...
Mike
Nardone
(KXLU-Los
Angeles): "Power 106 cancelling Friday Night
Flavas, what the fuck were they thinking? It's too bad
there is no place a person can hear underground Hip-Hop
on commercial radio in LA.
Having Large Professor at my show and later in
the year to have A.G. at the show. Two legends
from the east.
Seeing Cut Chemist close out his show at the El
Rey. I was so hyped to see him on stage as the headliner
it gave me goosebumps"...
Chill
Will
(WCBN-MI):
"Well this year has been really strange with all that's
gone on in Hip-Hop and the rap world as a whole. I can't
really think of one thing that I can say was most
memorable but one issue did come to mind. Death and that
was the most memorable thing I could come up with in
Hip-Hop. 1. J Dill formally of Slum Village
and an icon in Detroit Hip Hop dies from
complications from Lupus. He was only 32 yrs old. 2.
Big Proof of the group D-12 another icon
in Detroit Hip Hop is killed at the CCC night club in
Detroit. 3. Judge orders the city of Los Angeles
to pay 1.1 million to the family of Biggie. And
last, the death of Friday Night flava's on Power 106
in LA. The last real Hip-Hop shows on commercial
radio in the country. Though not on the same scale as
the others, it still was a major blow to the music we
know and love called HIP HOP. Thanks and thanks for all
the love and support from you Nes over the years
and in the future"...
The
Wonder Twinz
(SIRIUS):
"2006 had many great moments
for The Wonder TwinZ.Yet, our most memorable moment
happened on Thursday March 16th... That was the release
date for Volume 20 of our magazine The Connex List
(www.connexlist.com)
With every new issue, we have a HUGE party at remote
lounge in NYC to celebrate it... During that party we
had a LIVE performance from Dres (Black Sheep)
as well as a performance from Just-Ice!!!!!
The cover of volume 20 was DOPE because it had Kool
DJ Red Alert (see photo below) on it. Red
Alert knew that he was going to be featured in that
issue, but he didn't know that he was going to be on the
cover. So what we did was create a giant 5ft x 7ft
poster of the cover featuring Red Alert on it and we had
it rolled up on stage. Then at one point during the
party, we brought Red Alert up on stage and let him know
how much we appreciate all that he does. Then we
unrolled the poster in front of the whole crowd and
right then was the first time that Red Alert saw himself
on the cover. But wait! Just when you think that a party
couldn't be any more perfect than that, check this out.
Our mom and dad came down to that party as a surprise
for us (see photo below) Plus they were rockin' our "Are
You HipHop" shirts! They loved every minute of that
party. Everybody was taking pictures with them. It was
dope!!!!! Yo I got a picture of my Mom and Just-Ice.....
How Gangsta is that????? Until next time
America.
Take Care of Yourself and Your Mother!!!"...
DJ
EarthQuake (Live365.com): "Highlights
for me are all the great music that came out in 2006.
Yes there was crap that sold a lot of units, but also
good quality hiphop came out too. Being a Rap
Attack reporter means a lot to me with how much
I have looked up to Nasty Nes when I was younger.
I hope you know how much you have been an influence on
me. Calling the West Coast DJ of the Year B Mello
a friend means a lot. I used to look up to him when I
was younger and it’s always fun to be a guest on Street
Sounds. On a personal level the birth of my first son
was amazing and seeing how fast they grow. The best is
yet to come for my wife and I"...
DJ Buddhabong (SOL of HIPHOP Radio-www.solofhiphop.com):
"My most memorable Hip-Hop moment in 2006 was on
February 10th, 2006.
That was the day that I found out that Jay "Dilla"
Dee
had past away. One of the most influential Hip-Hop
producers in my life time had past away. That day and
the weeks after we had a special section of the radio
show dedicated to Jay Dilla. In tribute we played songs
produced by Dilla and the breaks that were sampled. Jay
Dee has touched each of our souls here on the SOL of
HIPHOP Radio show and in continued support we will
continue to educate the masses about Jay "Dilla" Dee and
his influential music/ sound"...
Brett
Johnson
aka
DJ OB1 (WUPX-MI): "The passing of Jay Dee
really touched many in so many ways. He was, is, and
forever will be a legend. Emerging from Michigan as a
Hip Hop mogul with out gimmicks or games, just pure
unadulterated talent, a musical genius that will be
remembered forever. RIP Dilla, we love you"...
DJ
Technic (Mixtapes-New York): "Is when I saw Jay-Z
in conert here in
New
York
at Madison Square Garden and rite in the middle of it he
introduced a new artist that's gonna be down with Def
Jam! That artist was Nas! Even thought they
both had a problem with each other, they both worked it
out"...
DJ
Solo (WECI-Indiana): "I would say when Kat
Williams hosted the BET Hip-Hop Award
Show. That was nice"...
J-Tyme
(X104-Seattle):
"The year 2006 was a pretty good year for me. The
Seahawks played in their first Superbowl and
even though they got robbed, it was a historic event.
While out in Detroit to take part in the Superbowl
festivities, I got a chance to kick it with my homie
Chill Will and hung out backstage for the "Super Rap
Bowl" which consisted of performances by Ludacris,
Freeway and Young Jeezy inside the Palace
of Auburn Hills, home of the Detroit Pistons.
Good lookin out to Chill Will for showing me, my girl
and my dude DJ D'Lemma his city (see photo
below). Another highlight was when Resident Media
of Seattle brought out Rob Swift Labor Day
weekend to rock a party. I seized the oppurtunity to
open up and share the stage with Rob (on a side note,
A-Trak was also on the bill, but had to cancel last
minute due to being sick). It was a real honor to open
up for Rob Swift since I've been a fan of his since I
started DJing back in 1991. Overall, it was great to see
the West Coast get some shine with the whole Hyphy
movement and the Pacific Northwest really starting to
come alive with the creation of Massline Media
and their roster of artists: Blue Scholars,
Common Market and Gabriel Teodros. I look
forward to making bigger moves and being part of even
bigger things in 2007.
On a side note, please make note of my new email address
(mr.jtyme@gmail.com).
This is now my priority email address for MP3's and
other incoming emails effective immediately. Please
remove my hotmail email address (j_tyme73@hotmail)
and replace it with my gmail address. Thanks. Happy
holidays and God bless"...
Dan
Shores
(WHRW-NY):
"2006 - March / April "Grade A" was a strong series of
events my company "CPP Marketing and Promotion"
put forth. These were in two week intervals in a
spacious 2nd floor art gallery in
Binghamton NY. Combining live graffiti on canvas, DJ's,
and film. Each installment in this series was dope. We
even had DJ Kaos (El Da Sensei's
DJ) come through for the last one. It was as some local
press called it "The gallery meets the streets" or
something.
CPP Artists / Radio Involvement - Dj's got their first
tastes of artists such as M.L, Kway Floss,
Wade Waters, Kwote Scriptures and
Emilio Rojas aka Raks One. We were
successfull in getting some of these artists on shows
via phone interviews or actual in studio appearances at
stations in major markets (Thanks JayForce,3D,DJ
Emskee and DJ Eclipse and anyone I'm
forgetting ). What we're doing with the radio promotion
is slowly but surely exposing djs to new quality
artists, they may have never heard of. We took Wade
Waters joint to top 7, and hey that isnt bad for a
struggling upstart eh?
NYC CMJ - Again with a few guys we did a
nice little CMJ event with a big impact the day
after halloween. The event (named grade A after our
upstate events) saw Kev Brown,El Da Sensei,DJ
Eclipse,Copperpot, Sucio Smash, DJ
Kitsune and so much more rocking on two floors. It
was hosted by Pack FM.All in all,putting on an
event in NYC was a gutsy experience, we'll have to
rethink it next year. The Rap Attack
dinner was also dope. Big up to Skull,Morgan,K-Sly,Nes
for making it possible. It was really good to build
with and meet a lot of the people there.
Radio Show - The show has been increasingly getting
better. With almost 7 years under its belt, The World
Famous Live and Direct show is still going strong.With
that said, we still havent touched the realm of Laffy
Taffy etc. and I'm so grateful for that. I can't thank
promoters and record labels enough for continuously
sending quality product through to the station. (Interscope
and Jive you have to step it up though, I
haven't seen anything from you guys in a while).
J.Dilla - Feb 10,06 we lost him. What was really
dope was to see the support from so many people. It
truly was and is incredible. He definately changed lives
and we won't forget him"...
DJ
B-Mello (KEXP-Seattle): "I
have so many memorable moments this year. One was of
course winning the award in the
Dominican Republic at The Power Summit, but that same
night I felt so lucky because at the end of
Federation's performance somebody threw a mic
into the air and I looked up as it hit a chandelier and
a piece of glass came down & hit me right under my eye.
I was thinking how lucky I was to walk away without a
scratch on me.
Getting lots of press and recognition such as the
article in Seattle Sound Magazine, Seaspot.com
and being featured as an Official Myspace.com DJ
of the week were exciting.
Another moment was making the leap to satellite radio.
It started by getting to spin on Sirius' Shade 45
on the Rep Yo Set show. I really tried to play local
artists from Seattle and the Northwest and hearing it
being broadcast and getting texts, e-mails, and calls
from people who listened was great. Then we got the
Shadyville Radio slot on G-Unit Saturdays on
Shade 45. Being blessed to be down with so many great
affiliations such as Core DJs, Rap Attack
Panel, NRC, Shadyville DJs, and
The 1200 Squad. Last, but not least getting put
down with the AllHipHop.com All Star DJs. When
they told me some of the names of the other DJs I was
just amazed. It was a good year for me personally and I
feel like it's helping get
Seattle
back on the Hip-Hop map. I feel like the biggest thing
out of
Seattle
since Sir Mix-A-Lot and Nasty Nes! Wait
till 2007!"...
Witnes
(KPFT-Houston): "This
year’s most shocking moment was when I found out J
Dilla passed. When it was officially stated, I was
speechless. One of the best producers that kept Hip-Hop
beats fresh and innovative. He had his own signature
sound and simple lyrics that would naturally make you
head nod! I'll miss him and will always be touched by
his talent and
Detroit
sound. "Get up stand up throw f'n hands up" R.I.P. J
DILLA"...
G-Fresh
(WAIF-Cincinatti):
"Nas album titled "Hip-Hop Is Dead" stirring
controversy and my interview with the Pioneer Doug E
Fresh! RALO...
Lokash
(WNHU-CT): "My
most memorable Hip-Hop moment in 2006 would have to be
the passing of J Dilla. It's crazy because even
though it happened in February it still feels like a
fresh wound. In any event, I had a lot of good times
this year, espeically at CMJ. I'm really
glad I got to link up with Nasty-Nes and share
some of those experiences with him & the Rap
Attack DJ's"...
Splif (Def Jam): "The IDJ College
Conferenence held during CMJ week in New
York and rollin' on the HBCU College Tour with
our artists, Megan Rochell, Shareefa and
Bobby V. Being on the road was one of my greatest
learning experiences"...
Skull
(YG
Entertainment): "Being featured as a "MySpace
Featured Artist Of The Week" & on the "MySpace.com
DJ's" page featuring my single, "Boom Di Boom di."
Also performing for & meeting some of the biggest names
in Hip-Hop like, DJ Bobcat (The Foundation),
Tony G. (Original KDAY MixMaster),
Spinderella (Salt N Pepa), K-Sly,
Lucky Lou & his Global Record Pool DJ's, DJ
Jam (Snoop Dogg's DJ), Skee
