A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT

I just finished laying out my plan for health reform at a joint session of Congress. Now, I'm writing directly to you because what happens next is critical -- and I need your help.

Change this big will not happen because I ask for it. It can only come when the nation demands it. Congress knows where I stand. Now they need to hear from you.

Add your voice: Ask your representatives to support my plan for real health reform in 2009:
http://my.barackobama.com/SupportReform

The heart of my plan is simple: bring stability and security to Americans who already have health insurance, guarantee affordable coverage for those who don't, and rein in the cost of health care.

Tonight, I offered a specific plan for how to make it happen. I incorporated the best ideas from Democrats and Republicans to create a plan that's bold, practical, and represents the broad consensus of the American people.
We've come closer to real health reform in the last few months than we have in the last 60 years. But those who profit from the status quo -- and those who put partisan advantage above all else -- will fight us every inch of the way.
We do not seek that fight, but we will not shrink from it. The stakes are too high to let scare tactics cloud the debate, or to allow partisan bickering to block the path. Your voice, right now, is essential.

See my full plan and call on your representatives to support it:
http://my.barackobama.com/SupportReform

Ours is not the first generation to understand the dire need for health reform. And I am not the first President to take up this cause, but I am determined to be the last.

Thank you,
President Barack Obama

Atlanta rap legends Goodie Mob reunited over the weekend for a one time special performance in their hometown billed "Remember Atlanta." Cee-Lo, T-Mud, Big Gipp and Khujo, draped in blood-red clothing, ran through their catalog of hits over the years, including smash hits "Cell Therapy," "Soul Food," Beautiful Skin" and much more." RAP ATTACK's own, DJ Jay Force from ATL's WRFG was there & here's what went down:

"I was hanging out in the Castellberry Hill area of Atlanta speaking with my friend, promoter Jabari Graham, about how Atlanta has changed so much. Jabari is one of the most successful promoters in Atlanta because he tends to have a good sense of timing in booking the right acts at the right time. Before Drake really blew up we had spoke at length about how Drake is gonna be that next guy the public would be checking for. Jabari & his partners took at advantage of the
opportunity to book Drake right before he blew up & the sold out show actually happened right as Drake was peaking in popularity. This particular night we were talking about how Goodie Mob was getting back together & how significant it was to Atlanta's Hip Hop & overall usical history for them to be doing so. Would Atlanta fans still be checking for Goodie Mob after an almost decade long hiatus? We knew the answer to that. That night we discussed various media strategies
to make sure that September 19th 2009 would be a historical one & it truly was historical for Atlanta, southern rap fans, & fans of quality Hip-Hop music overall.
I arrived at Masquerade Music Park a little late due to the massive amounts of people that showed up for Goodie Mob's Reunion Show in Atlanta. It felt like Goodie Mob & the Dungeon Family organization had the whole city buzzing despite having not released an album collectively since 1999's "World Party". It had been raining in Atlanta in recent days & I'm sure many people didn't know what the turnout would be like especially since black people & rain don't exactly work together for outdoor concerts. **Rimshot** Despite the periods of rain over 4,500 fans descended on the outdoor concert venue for the return of one of the most important Hip-Hop groups in southern based Hip-Hop. I can only imagine how many people would have showed up to the venue had the weather NOT been less than perfect, but it was an amazing sight to see nonetheless.

Goodie Mob took the stage to the theme from the movie Rocky dressed in solid crimson colors to a raucous & at times lengthy period of applause. Utilizing a live band that included my future fiancee DJ Princess Cut on the turntables, they proceeded to rock for about an hour long peformance on stage. The first song they rocked was "Goodie Bag" from their classic album "Soul Food" before launching into the rest of their catalog of hits & even tweaking a few of those for the
live performance. At one point in the show Cee-Lo sung at medley from Spandau Ballet's hit "True" & then spinning into lyrics from one of the Goodie Mob's classics over the instrumentation from that song. At one point during the show Cee-Lo jumped into singing his hit single "Crazy" as one 1/2 of Gnarls Barkley to taking back to the old school R&B covering Frankie Beverly & Maze's "Before I Let Go". The rest of the night saw special guests of the Dungeon Family take the stage with them like Backbone & Sleepy Brown. At one point Big Boi from Outkast came out on stage & the crowd was anticipating Andre 3000 to make an appearance although he was a no show & the rumor has it that he was actually supposed to make an appearance. Despite Andre 3000 being of the primary members of the Dungeon Family missing from September 19th's reunion concert for the Goodie Mob, the crowd made it known who they were really there for. It was a great night in Atlanta's musical history & I'm proud to say I was a part of it"...

PROPS to ORBITRON & MANIAC last Thursday's  guests on our RAP ATTACK DJ CONF CALL!...

DJ Eclipse "The Halftime Show" Roc Raida Tribute

"Last Sunday night I threw together a short Roc Raida tribute set at the beginning of my Sirius show. On Monday night Premier and I held our monthly "Like They Used To Say" party at APT which we dedicated to Roc Raida and were able to raise over $4,000 for his family. On Wednesday night I wanted to do a proper tribute show so I contemplated on what to do. As I compiled every song I could that Raida was featured on (production or scratches) I thought it would be better to reach out to his friends and get their take on what the man meant to them. What started out as a dozen or so people that I intended to talk to snowballed into phone call after phone call of friends wanting to share stories. Please forgive me if I left out someone's name (or mispelled), but following is a list of who called or showed up at station (no particular order): Boogie Blind, Daddy Dog, Roli Rho, Kuttin Kandi, Riz, JS-1, Jab, Sugar Cuts, Neil Armstrong, Fat Fingaz, Q-Bert, Mixmaster Mike, A-Trak, J-Rocc, Babu, Rhettmatic, Scratch, Revolution, Rahzel, Bobbito, A.G., Lord Finesse, Dr. Butcher, Vin Roc, DJ Grouch, Freestyle, Spictakular, Shortkut, Supreme and Tame One. We ended up going an hour longer then we should have. In between calls I found some old cassette tapes of radio show appearances by the X-Men. I hope you enjoy listening to the show as much as I did. Thanks to the whole Halftime crew for making this run smooth; Skizz, Petey Cologne and Marz One. To everyone that showed up or called in....I love you all. R.I.P. Grand Master Roc Raida. We're going to miss you, Eclipse

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."

DJ Cash Money

WE'VE GOT SOME OF THE WORLD'S BEST DJ's! THE RAP ATTACK DJ'S! GET TO KNOW OUR DJ's BY LOGGING ONTO:
www.MySpace.com/RapAttackLives  AND PEEP OUR UPDATED PHOTO PAGE...

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

Chill Will (WCBN-MI): "What's up people? Another sad week in Hip Hop with the death of Grand Master DJ Roc Raida. Not really sure of the details but a great lost in Hip Hop. He was one of the dopest dj's and a good person on top of that. He will truly be missed and if your not up on him check the Scratch DVD or Youtube and check the skills. For those in the Detroit area you can check me out this Saturday at the Greektown Casino's Eclipz Lounge. For more information about me DJ Chill Will go to www.myspace.com/djchillwill734...

DJ Sage (CFRO-Vancouver, BC): "RIP Anthony Williams aka Roc Raida -- 1972-2009
We skipped the Double Shot this week in order to throw down a little tribute mix to the Grandmaster Roc Raida. The legendary producer, DJ and turntablist will be missed, but he will leave behind a legacy of sound that will be appreciated by many generations to come.

We were then joined by Seattle MC, D-Black. Although he just dropped a record, D-Black will be retiring from Hip-Hop in order to join the ministry shortly. We got the low-down on what to expect from the album, as well as what he hopes to achieve with his new venture. Check him out at www.MySpace.com/Dblackmuzik.

We also had Jay Kin come through the studio and premier an absolutely hot track. We discussed his future plans, which include another trip to Japan to lay down some new material. Check him out at www.MySpace.com/JayKin and make sure you get a copy of "On The Humble", out now!

We had a host of great music on our No-BS show in the name of the late Roc Raida. King Reign, Saukrates, Masta Killa, Ghostface, Kurupt & Freeway, A&E and many more. We also analyzed a legendary top-9 list of rappers who need to change their monikers which is all kinds of out there! Hit up the podcast at www.UrbanRenewalProject.net!"...

D-TRAGIC (805HipHop.com): "CHECK IT !! I have to ltell you that things have been mad crazy over here in my Market! I've been locked in the studio for the last few days working on this new proposal for a new show on KCSB 91.9FM Santa Barbara. I gotta tell you that it has drained the life out of me.  I just release a new Mixtape for V-Tech working with ROC-C. V-TECH.COM is a manufacturer of phone,s and other electronic devices. Thet feature new artists on thier website and work wihth licensing to get music added to comercials, and promotions. I was lucky enough to be chosen to work on this project with Roc. It gave mea chance to see some of the newest music roc has been working on. It features the likes of: OHNO, Chino XL, Mic Geronimo, Jerneye, Anonymous Twist, Marlon D and many more. The thing that really tripped me out was when DJ ROMES of the Loot Pack hit me up and gave me props on the Mix. If you arent knowing about DJ Romes, he is a respected DJ in the Undergorund Hip-Hop World reppin Stones Throw Records. So that made me feel real good about it. It was also real dope to catch a few pointers out too about Mastering. Be sure to go to VTECH.COM real soon to checkout the Mix!!

I'm also working on a few DOPE new shows that will be hittin Santa Barbara and Ventura in October. The name of October in the 805 has been officially changed to HipHoptober Fest by CHI-KING of O.D.B.'s groups BROOKLYN ZOO. Chi-King is working with 805HipHop.Com on the following shows. If you are in the 805 Area and are interested in peeping out a show or 2, please feel free to hit me up for more info! Also Please support that new heat by CHINO XL and LOOK FOR THAT NEW ALBUM "THE RICANSTRUCTION"...

Kazzeo (KHDC-CA): "First & foremost, I wanna send out condolences to the family and friends of Grandmaster Roc Raida. Roc was a legend on the turntables. I had a chance to meet him on a couple of occasions and he was a really down to earth type of guy. No attitude whatsoever. Another huge loss for Hip Hop
So my Raiders are now 1 & 1 this season. We should have been 2 and 0 but the ref's screwed us during the Monday night game. Anyway, the big problem that needs to be corrected. is Jamarcus Russell's inability to start fast. He looks like shit in the first quarter and doesn't get going solid until midway through the 3rd quarter. That's not gonna work buddy. Nor is his reluctance to run when needed. Dude is 6'6, 250 pounds. He is easily as big if not bigger than most defensive players but he won't use that advantage to run over them. It makes no sense. Anyway, I'll be at the game this weekend when we play Denver at home. I wish Chris Hodkins was still in radio so I could have someone to talk shit to. LOL.
Plaxico Burress should have got a longer sentence. And bringing his kid with him to court was just a media play for sympathy. Enough of these people who can't think before they act"...
 

Nate Abney (WKDU-PA): "It is fall finally so the playoff races are heating up. The Phils are 5 games away and the Eagles stunk it up but its only week 2. Penn State keeps rolling so my weekend was great for the most part. Check out JJ Brown on youtube as he preps his solo debut CONNECT THE DOTS due to drop November 10th. The videos are pretty interesting with a list of apecial guests. If you look closely at some points you may see a familiar face"...

Nesto (WODU-VA): "What's up people? 2009 has been one hell of a year with the passing of a lot of entertainment figures. Unfortunately, we lost another one close to the family. DJ Roc Raida passed, and I have to say I'm still a little in shock about it. I think the shock is because so many have passed on this year. Condolences to Raida's family. On a different note, it looks like Mayweather has picked up right where he left off. Are we going to see a Mayweahter and Pacqiuao fight, or will Mayweather give Mosley a shoot. If I had to guess, I'd say Mayweather is going to wait for Pac-Man so he can get a BIG PAYDAY, and then bounce out of the boxing world again. I'd like to see Mayweather fight Mosley, but I don't see it happening. By the way, I guess drinking your own piss doesn't really help!"..

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"...

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!

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:
