BIZZY
BONE, 50
CENT,
CHINGY, MAINO, OTHERS COLLABORATE ON NOTORIOUS B.I.G.
TRIBUTE
Just days before the 11th anniversary of the death of
the Notorious B.I.G., rapper Bizzy Bone
has joined a host of other rap superstars in recording a
special tribute to the slain New York rapper.
The song, "Can I Speak to Biggie," also features 50
Cent, Chingy, Maino, Bobby
Valentino, R&B singer Chris Notez, and New
York rapper/ songwriter H.B. "Hav-Boy"
Monte, who also executive produced the project.
Monte said "Can I Speak to Biggie" is the first tribute
of its kind."This is the first tribute that has not been
affiliated with Bad Boy Records and everyone that
I reached out to was happy to do it," he says. "Nobody
even wanted any money for doing this." Monte said the
idea for the song, which promotes a positive message and
features artists from every coast, was born out of a
conversation he had with Ma$e and Jadakiss
during which they discussed the idea of doing a song
that would pay homage to Biggie. "I had the vision," he
said. "The studio that I work out of is in Bed-Stuy
where Biggie was raised, the block that he was on
everyday and that conversation between Ma$e and Jadakiss
just kept running through my mind so I called a bunch of
people that I thought would be great for the record –
people who had meaning whether it meant past, present or
future."
Bizzy Bone said his participation in the recording was a
"no brainer.""I didn't even have to think about it," he
said. "How could I not want to pay tribute to such an
amazing spirit and talent as Biggie. It is an honor to
be a part of this."
Monte said he will continue to do Biggie tributes each
year using different artists. He added that the song is
being released to radio stations nationwide today and
tomorrow and he hopes to tie the song into "Notorious,"
the upcoming Fox Searchlight biopic on Biggie. He
said he also plans to release exclusive
behind-the-scenes video footage from the recording
sessions. HERE'S THE

Listen. In our younger years, we hafta have heart. We
need to let them know you're on the front lines, but
then there should come a time to win the war. The
hip-hop revolution had to do with balance, so we don't
want to get rid of corporations. In the early 90s,
Nike gave $99,000 to Gil Scott Heron, but all
that money went to the birth of the Temple of Hip Hop.
These corporations are laying their money down. Fake-ass
closet protesters weekend warriors or barroom
philosophers talk a good game but the real question is
who's going to finance the revolution?
-Krs-One-
Interview: Hip-Hop Legend KRS-ONE Seizes
New Ways for Rap to Work with Major Brands
The godfather of hip-hop isn't about to retire yet.
KRS-ONE
is still preaching from his pulpit about hip-hop's
relevancy today and, in an interview with
DigitalJournal.com, he explains how the business models
of hip-hop now are changing for the better.
Digital Journal - Don't call KRS-ONE
a sellout. Sure, he might be joining forces with
Smirnoff for the vodka company's hiphop mix series.
Sure, Nike commissioned the rap legend to collaborate on
the track "Better Than I've Ever Been" to celebrate the
25th anniversary of Air Force One sneakers. But KRS-ONE
doesn't take kindly to over-arching statements about
corporations infiltrating hip-hop for their own greedy
ambitions. In fact, in an interview with
DigitalJournal.com prior to his stop in Toronto for a
keynote address at Canadian Music Week, the MC discussed
the new business models of hip-hop which include
accepting deals with major brands.
If there's anyone who has seen hip-hop grow, mature and
eat itself, it's KRS-ONE. Born Kris Parker and raised in
Brooklyn, he began his career as founder of Boogie Down
Productions in the mid-1980s, winning attention for his
politically conscious lyricism that earned him the
nickname "the Teacher." His Edutainment album with BDP
espoused diplomacy over gun violence, but it was his
first solo album Return of the Boom Bap that secured him
a place in hip-hop's Hall of Street Game. The lyrics
were thoughtful ("No politician can give you peace/ If
you trust Jesus, why do you vote for a beast?") and the
songs' beats were heavy and inventive. Tracks like "I
Can't Wake Up" and "Outta Here" set a benchmark for
other artists to emulate.
In an interview with DigitalJournal.com, KRS-ONE
says hip-hop artists should work with companies but
still create music on their own terms.
When hip-hop went gangsta and then subsequently bling-heavy,
KRS-ONE hung in there. Along the way, he founded the
Stop the Violence Movement to promote crime-free living
in New York, while also creating the Temple of Hip Hop,
which offers information on hip-hop history and the
various elements that make up this powerful music form.
KRS acts as the school's principal, giving interested
hip-hop heads some of his knowledge about how people can
live a hip-hop lifestyle and not just listen to it. As
the website states: "KRS ONE has consistently taught the
Hip Hop community to think of itself beyond
entertainment and more as a specific culture of new
people in the world."
Like
any preacher who doesn't want to get off the pulpit just
yet, the 42-year-old MC is hungry to deliver his
philosophies, whether on hip-hop or American culture.
Musically, KRS recently released two new albums,
including one with another hip-hop forefather, Marley
Marl. Politically, KRS is active in battling
poverty-stricken areas, meeting with New Jersey mayors
to discuss high crime rates. He also spoke at an October
FCC hearing about radio media concentration and how
independent artists get squeezed out of rotations. It's
obvious KRS isn't even thinking about retiring.
He's crossing borders this weekend to bring his insight
to a rapt audience: at Canadian Music Week in
Toronto,
he'll discuss how hip-hop is progressing to foster new
ways to bring music to the masses. As he told
DigitalJournal.com in an interview (often talking in the
third-person), working with companies might be jarring
to skeptics but it's the smartest way to get good music
out to hip-hop fans.
DigitalJournal.com: So how do you think the
hip-hop business model is changing?
KRS-ONE:
Today, artists like myself or Chuck D or Talib Kweli
hold a degree of credibility that's attracting companies
like Red Bull, Cadillac, or Nike. Executives at these
companies are our fans. And they are really sick of the
state of music. So what they've done is spend $250,000
of their own money, in the case of Nike, to create a
song with Kanye West, Nas, Rakim, and KRS
ONE.
We don't rap about the shoes because they don't want us
talking about that. They just want us to create a song
they can play on their website. Authenticity is the new
business model and these companies need a product that's
not destroyed by an artist's shady image.
DigitalJournal.com: But won't some
old-school hip-hop fans say you're selling out?
KRS-ONE:
When
you get KRS ONE, I'm not changing my message for nobody.
If you do business with KRS, you're getting anti-war
statements, you're getting stuff about the Temple of Hip
Hop. A sellout is someone who buys you and changes your
message, but we're not doing that.
"Authenticity is the new business model," hip-hop MC KRS-ONE
told DigitalJournal.com, "and these companies need a
product that's not destroyed by an artist's shady
image."
DigitalJournal.com: You're saying you can't be a sellout
if you stick to your guns?
KRS-ONE:
Exactly. Listen. In our younger years, we hafta have
heart. We need to let them know you're on the front
lines, but then there should come a time to win the war.
The hip-hop revolution had to do with balance, so we
don't want to get rid of corporations. In the early 90s,
Nike gave $99,000 to Gil Scott Heron, but all that money
went to the birth of the
Temple
of
Hip
Hop.
These corporations are laying their money down. Fake-ass
closet protesters weekend warriors or barroom
philosophers talk a good game but the real question is
who's going to finance the revolution?
KRS-ONE
will be delivering a keynote address at Canadian Music
Week on March 8 at
1:30
p.m. at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel in Toronto. On the
evening of March 8, KRS will perform at
midnight

Taken
from AKROBATIK's latest MySpace Blog I
thought you would find this interesting and very real:
"My
album has been out for a week now, and as it looks there
is good news and bad news. The good news is that I am
among the top independent artists in the nation in terms
of album sales for the week. The bad news is that my
sales, along with everyone else's, are pitiful.
I can
only speak for myself here by saying simply that when
there are no more good artists left putting albums out
in hip-hop the fans have no one to blame but themselves.
For every person that comes up to me or writes me to
tell me that they think I did a great job on this
record, I wonder how many of them actually bought it?
Certainly not a high percentage. Most artists have it
even worse.
It's
too bad, really. To hear almost unanimously across the
board that my album is "bangin", "solid", "classic",
"amazing", and all the superlatives I hear thrown
around, I would think that the people who most want to
see me succeed would actually support the cause.
Think
of buying a CD as casting a vote. Just to SAY you
support a candidate does not do much for their cause;
you have to actually cast the vote.
Simply put, if you want another Akrobatik album,
BUY THIS ONE.
If
you don't, it's all good. I have other ways to make
money. It's just a shame that the very technology that
makes it so much easier to support your favorite artists
(you don't even have to leave your fucking couch to buy
an album) is the same technology that is allowing
hip-hop 'fans' to kill the very music that they claim to
love by stealing the product of hard-working, talented
artists. I for one will not put my blood, sweat, and
tears into another expensive-ass project that brings me
to the edge of sanity just to have it stolen and passed
around as if I got a 3 million dollar advance or some
shit.
Don't
be surprised when there is nothing left but bullshit
commercial music to choose from. And when that happens,
the same people who stole an Akrobatik album, or a
Little Brother album, etc, will be the ones
complaining that "hip-hop" is dead. YOU ARE THE ONES
KILLING IT!
Check
out my Lipton Iced Green Tea commercial on the
radio when you get a chance. Then ask yourself why I did
it. Then pop in your CD-R with my name and album title
written in Sharpie that your man gave you and bump that
shit. You're missing out on some great artwork, but
hey.. fuck it.. I have other things to do besides go on
a one-man 'save hip-hop' crusade.
But I
would love to hear back from you, the fans. Do you think
you shouldn't have to pay for music? I KNOW for a fact
that thousands upon thousands of people have "Absolute
Value", and only a small percentage of those people
bought it.
Good
luck to every other artist dealing with this current
Fiasco (no pun intended)"...
Brooklyn based Duck Down Records have officially
added rap icon KRS-One to its roster. Label
frontman, Buckshot, released a statement shortly
after the signing, "It's a dream to be able to work with
KRS-One. Before I even began rapping, that is who I
checked for. I kept the Blueprint album on me at all
times. That is all I listened to for an entire summer".
In addition DJ Revolution has also been added to
their roster with, DJ Revolution is the "King Of The
Decks."
DJ Revolution has spent 15 years perfecting his craft on
the 1200s. Revolution has done just about everything you
can think

of with records. Spun 'em, scratched 'em, juggled 'em,
sampled 'em, collected 'em, produced 'em, sold 'em,
distributed 'em, promoted 'em, and so on. Aside, from
being the DJ, producer and editor for the world famous
"Wake Up Show," based out of LA on Power 106 and
Syndicated across the nation, DJ Revolution is a
renowned producer with credits on albums by: KRS-ONE,

Buckshot, Smif N Wessun, Heltah Skeltah,
Crooked I, Slum Village, El Da Sensei
and Akrobatik to name just a few. DJ
Revolution is also a veteran stage show DJ who has
toured with artists such as Rakim and Kanye
West.

*Kidz In The Hall

DJ
Revolution'sattention to detail and his genuine respect
for the craft of Hip-Hop music is what separates him
from other DJ's, as quoted by saying: "despite today's
DJ's being 'psuedo-lebrities' and as big and trendy as
ever, they are almost completely disconnected from
Hip-Hop in the eyes of the general public. Through this
record I'll attempt to reconnect the DJ with Hip-Hop,
re-introduce the DJ to those who forgot what we really
do and re-define what is possible in recorded music for
the DJ as an artist"...

Rap
Attack takes a "WHAT'S UPPER" look this week with:
Bri-G (RPM
Promo/Mixtapes-NY): "It
would’ve been nice of the good folks writing Lost to
have at least let me know who Ben’s man is
on the ship was before the end of last night’s episode.
I’m done asking for big answers in a timely manner, but
when you have a segment where a question is just seconds
from being answered; I need you to follow through during
that same episode. I’m literally just hanging on at this
point because I’ve invested too much to just stop
watching it.
Speaking of not watching something, the New York
Knicks are so bad, so utterly terrible, that Knick
fans found themselves giving Lebron James a
standing ovation the other night. How far have things
fallen, that in New York City, the mecca of basketball,
Knick fans would give a standing ovation to an opponent
because their own team has sucked them of any will to
cheer? Thank god baseball starts again in a month.
College basketball conference championships start this
weekend. My alma mater, Jacksonville University, looks
to make their first trip to the big dance since Artis
Gilmore was on the team in the 70’s. Can the
Dolphins pull it off? Catch it at
www.asun.playonsports.tv/ for the small price of
$6.00. You won’t be disappointed. Atlantic Sun
Conference Basketball...Catch the Fever!!!!
I am
personally primed and ready for championship week with
my newly purchased Heineken mini keg. For those
of you unaware of this incredible creation, the Heineken
mini keg is 5 liters of juicy keg beer that fits snugly
in your refrigerator. Anytime I want a beer, I simply
attach the pump, and in seconds I have a fresh Heineken
straight from the keg. I don’t think I can put my love
for this little invention into words. If the keg makes
it through the weekend I will have it ready for Sunday
night when…
The
Wire comes to an end. I literally have no idea how they
plan to wrap all this up in one last episode. Is
Michael gonna take over the streets now that
everybody’s either dead or in jail? Is McNulty
gonna go down for creating a fake serial killer? Is it
all over for Clay Davis? What happened to the
Greeks when the cops raided the drug stash? Will the
ghost of Omar fall in love with the ghost of the
kid who played Telly in “Kids” and used to roll
with Bubs? So many questions, just one
episode"...
DJ
Sage (CFRO-Vancouver): "Last night we were
joined by a lyrical legend in this rap game, AZ
aka most of your favorite rapper's favorite MC just ask
Termanology. Ever since first appearing as the
only guest on Nas's "Illmatic"; AZ has shown skill,
consistency, and love for this game. In our interview
with AZ he discusses his upcoming release "Undeniable"
(dropping April 1), but also issues of being underrated
and yet respected amongst his peers. But, go ahead our
peep the interview and mini-throwback of some of our AZ
favourites.
www.urpradio.podomatic.com...
DJ Kazzeo (KHDC-CA): "It's
kind of weird that it's been 11 years since Biggie
was murdered. Seems like just yesterday I was
doubling up on "Unbelievable" in the mix.
Mystikal got denied parole for his role in
videotaping a female being forced to perform sexual acts
on him. So he should be out in 2 years. Great. Just
great.
Sometimes I really have question the education level of
some "Hip Hop Journalists". I got a news bulletin from
AllHipHop.com that said "Rapper's show support
for Juvenile". Now I'm not in anyway going to be
negative towards Juvenile himself since having a child
murdered is not something to make a joke about. What I
am talking about is AllHipHop's headline. They made the
claim that more than rapper was being supportive. Now
that may be true. But why would they only quote / list
one rapper? If you are going to make a claim, at least
back it up. I know it sounds like I'm being too
analytical but so what? That's what I do.
Game is doing a 2 month bid in LA County for
driving in a school zone with a gun. Good. Why is this
former stripper turned studio gangsta doing with a gun
anyway? Let alone being around a school with it"...
Edgie
Kokoski
(WUNH-NH):
"Every March I get all excited when baseball's spring
training games start. It doesn't last long though, as I
soon remember that the watching spring training is kind
of like watching softcore - it looks like the real thing
but isn't very satisfying. I watched the Twins
pound my Red Sox on Sunday and by the 6th inning
the field was littered with strangers none of whom had a
jersey number under 70. Spring training games are like
Erick Sermon beats - you want to like them but
you can't get over the fact that they all suck.
The real sports shocker this week though was the
retirement of Brett Favre. I thought that being 3
points from the Super Bowl with a very young team
around him would assuredly bring Brett back to the
gridiron. It's sad to see him hang it up and I'm
grateful that I got to see him play live once in
Atlanta. It's funny because at the time I was more
excited to see Michael Vick. I'll bet the Falcons
wish they had hung on to Brett instead...
I have to say that I keep finding myself more impressed
with the Blue Scholars. If you are not checking
for this Seattle duo, then you are missing out. I just
saw the video for their last single "Joe Metro",
and it was nothing short of phenomenal. In this era of
materialism and triviality in music, it's refreshing to
see such a genuine group. I also like the fact that they
use sparing "blue" language. It makes my job easier. Now
if only other artists would follow their lead.
The music industry continues to implode with TVT
shutting its doors. It's hard to figure out why. With
quality, introspective, and articulate artists like
Lil Jon, The Ying Yang Twins and Pitbull,
it's tough to understand how they aren't selling any
records. They should have put out albums from their
proven cash cows, like Mic Geronimo, Royal
Flush and Cash Money Click. Oh wait"...
