What's Upper? 

RAP ATTACK pays respects & condolences on the loss of one of the greatest DJ's of all time, DJ Roc Raida of the X-Ecutioners who passed away. (see photo above)...

On the same note, Patrick Swayze the balletically athletic actor who rose to stardom in the films Dirty Dancing and Ghost and whose 15-month battle with advanced pancreatic cancer drew wide attention has also passed away. Mary Travers from the 60's pop group, "Peter Paul & Mary" and from the 60's "Laugh In" comedy show, Henry Gibson has also passed away...

Last Saturday nights' UFC 103 main event has Vitor Belfort beating Rich Franklin by a  KO in round 1. Junior Dos Santos also beat Mirko Cro Cop by a 3rd round TKO via a verbal submission...

And Floyd Mayweather continues to be undefeated by beating welterweight's Juan Manuel Marquez in Las Vegas...
 

DJ CASH MONEY SPEAKS OUT! by: DJ Cash Money

"Let me start by saying that this isn't just about me, this is about pioneering and legendary DJs from Philadelphia who are not being recognized.

Just as everyone knows that Hip Hop's founding fathers are Kool DJ Herc, Afrika Bambaataa and Grandmaster Flash from the Bronx - it is common knowledge that DJ Jazzy Jeff and myself are the most famous Hip Hop DJ legends from Philadelphia.

When the first Philly DJ Day took place in 2008, I was invited to attend and help celebrate its launch.

DJs from every decade in Philadelphia Hip Hop history attended and many group photos were taken of us to commemorate this day of unity.

Around the beginning of 2009, the organizers of Philly DJ Day received a proclamation, signed by the Mayor of Philadelphia, confirming an official Philly DJ Day to be celebrated annually. They proudly announced it. I was excited to read it myself!

To my surprise, my name was left off the proclamation though some of my friends were included...and was I naturally upset! DJs included on the first document included DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ AM (Rest in Peace), DJ Drama, Schoolly D, ?uest Love, King Britt and Rich Medina.

When I called Philly DJ Day to let them know about this error, they had not noticed that my name had been left out. They claimed that it was a typo or some mistake and that they would work on it. I wondered how something so important and final could be released and signed without review or edits.

By September 2009, the organizers said they finally fixed the problem, but when I viewed the updated document, it felt like my name was just thrown in for "honorable mention" and they changed the honorees around. At this point, I felt the second version aimed at pacifying me was more insulting than the first!

Please view both versions of the Philly DJ Proclamation at www.myspace.com/djcashmoney12 

I wondered why other DJ legends weren't included on either document like the original DJ Spinbad, Lady B, Grandmaster Nell, DJ Miz, Too Tuff, Cosmic Kev, DJ Ran, Grand Wizzard Rasheen, Tat Money, Lightning Rich, Josh Wink and the list goes on!

There are so many DJs who trail blazed! Maybe it would have been better to just call it Philly DJ Day, not name anyone and have it be all inclusive. However, if the more accomplished DJs were to be highlighted, it would have been better that we all sat down had a chance to offer our input.

If the proper history of the Philly DJ is not going to be told, it's better not to do it at all. I give Philly DJ Day an A+ for effort but an F for history.

Yet Philly DJ Day continues to include my likeness on their website knowing that I am not happy with the organization and therefore I do not support it. When the Philly DJ Day organizers sent DMC (the longest running, most legendary DJ competition) a sponsorship proposal for 2009, which included my photo, they were turned down because Philly DJ Day wasn't even recognizing the only DMC Champion from Philly! DMC supports me 100%!

Thus, some may want to say that I am being egotistical or hard to deal with for standing up for what is right but I won't be written out of history. I have been silent far too long about the cliquishness that goes down in this city. I tour all over the world repping Philly to the fullest. The fact that I won the DJ World DJ Championship in 1988 and am the only DJ to bring this title to Philly speaks volumes. I was also inducted into the Technics/DMC Hall of Fame.

A great DJ is not made overnight! You have to put in time, blood, sweat and tears. You become known as a legend from your fans and fellow DJ's. I didn't give myself these titles, other people did. Rightfully so, I've earned my place in history. It's like discussing Philadelphia basketball and never mentioning Dr. J.

I would suggest that the organizers start over, regroup, sit down with the true legends and get it right."

Sincerely,
DJ Cash Money

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

DJ 3D (New York):"Since we have an intern, I've just started posting my playlist with links to the music on my blog: http://dj3dmme.posterous.com...

DJ Chill Will (WCBN-MI): "What's happening people? I'm gonna keep it short and sweet, but this has been a interesting week. Things that make you go hmmmm!!! First rocked the Greektown Casino and shout to everyone I ran into. Then Kanye did his thing which was just Kanye. Then Whitney Houston on Oprah which I don't watch but did for that. All I can say is BOBBY!!!!!!! Lol. Check the show out this weekend for some dope new music and interviews. For more information about me DJ Chill Will go to www.myspace.com/djchillwill734...

DJ Sage (CFRO-Vancouver, BC): "We started our night off by featuring the new Duck Down Records release, "Survival Skills" by Buckshot & KRS-One. This album is dope on first listen and NOT one to be slept on especially with all the Canadian talent on it: Marco Polo, K’Naan, Moss and Melanie Fiona.

Buckshot, his flow is ridiculous on this album at times outshining KRS on the record, but both MCs are lyrical monsters and this is evident s soon as you pop the disc in your deck. Check it out!
www.duckdown.com

We then caught our white whale, so to speak. We were finally joined by the one and only Saukrates (the Dr. Dre of Canadian Hip-Hop scene).
This Canadian Hip-Hop icon had a lot to say about diversifying, remixing and collaborating, up-coming and bubbling Canadian talent, and why it's good to see the glass half full as opposed to half empty. You won't want to miss this interview or the subsequent Saukrates mix, so make sure you download the podcast! Check out Big Soxx online at www.MySpace.com/Saukrates for general information, tour dates, videoand even free music!

We also got into a ton of great music, including tracks from DV Alias Khryst, Saukrates (of course), J. Cole, Statik Selektah and MANY more.

Check out the podcast now at www.UrbanRenewalProject.net...

Kazzeo (KHDC-CA): "So I had a great week in LA. Caught a couple movies. Did some shopping. Went to the Jimmy Kimmel show. Spent time with some good friends. It was a good time. Video's from the road trip are posted on my youtube channel. The link is below.
Now with all that being said, you'd think I would have a good rant about that asshole Kanye West. And I do. But I'm saving it for my youtube. www.twitter.com/kazzeo...
 

Nate Abney (WKDU-PA): "A busy week as the president mad a visit to town, it made I-95 a mess during rush hour but what else is new. McNabb got hurt and the Phillies are winning games again. KRS and Buckshot in town today always a live show anytime the two of them are involved. Fall is approaching time to pull out the long sleeves"...
 

Kevin Sakoda (KSPC-CA): "Hope everyone's doing well. If you're not in the LA-area, you can catch the show live (via iTunes) every Saturday, 5-7PM (west-coast time): http://www.kspc.org/popup.html  You can also find archived playlists and download links 24/7: http://blogs.myspace.com/kevsakoda  Enjoy!

Nesto (WODU-VA): "What's up people? College football has not disappointed this year so far. Last weekends games were awesome. And it seems the Buffalo Bills are still the Buffalo Bills, choke artist.
On the music tip, Yay did his thing again. Can't wait to hear Skillz 09 wrap up, I'm sure that will make it in there. Bey showed she's a step above by inviting Taylor on stage, and unfortunately this is the year that the entertainment industry is losing some big names. RIP Patrick Swayze. oh yeah big up to DJ Neil Armstrong for putting down with Jay. I remember when we brought the whole 5th Platoon crew down for our annual DJ Battles at ODU. Big up homie"...
 

DJ Addition (Mixtapes-Boston & NH): "After watching VH1's "Top 100 Hip-Hop" songs of all time, I decided to take a piece of paper and a pencil, shut myself in a room, and really think of what I think is the top 100 acts of all time in Hip-Hop, I tried to really think and consider the top 100 that influenced Hip-Hop but also influenced myself in being in Hip-Hop since the 1980's, I wanted to share this with you my friends who have known me for years:
