Tom Tom Club-Wordy rappinghood

Julian Marszalek asked Chris Frantz , the drummer of Tom Tom Club and Talking heads, how the band felt about being the first white band playing on the legendary Funk/soul Tv program Soul Train:

Here is the answer.unbelievable...

"We were asked to do Soul Train in LA when we were out there shooting Stop Making Sense. That was quite a big day; we got up and did Soul Train and then that night shot Stop Making Sense. Yeah, that was a super big day! But it felt like a wonderful crossover. Here we are on this really cool TV show called Soul Train and that must mean we've got soul! That's what we wanted – to have soul."

Chris Witt of Allmusic said about the album:
"The production doesn't differ much from the organic funk on the other Hieroglyphics albums of the same period (No Need for Alarm and 93 'Til Infinity), except perhaps that the aggressiveness is turned up a notch.
The deep-voiced MC produces an unending and seemingly unstoppable flow of boasts and taunts, mercilessly skewering the wack rappers and fools he sees about him. The simplicity of his message belies the complexity of his vicious wordplay."

Here is his music video of "me-o-mi-o"


Steal O's and 1's
BoooOOoooM!

Ps:
What Casual was digging in the dusty crates of Oakland California around 1993:

The track "I Didn't Mean To" contains a sample from Kool and the Gang "Blowin' in the Wind" on the album Music is the Message: (De-Lite 1971)

"Me-O-Mi-O" contains a sample by John Hammond called 'Big sur suite' on Higher Ground: (Kudu 1974) . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDWvqx-pSYQ

That track has also been sampled by the Beastie Boys on 'Pass the mic'
Here is the other sample used in that track:

ARCHIE SHEPP & THE FAMILY OF PERCUSSION - HERE COMES THE FAMILY

ABSOLUT BANGER!!!
the track 'here comes the family' sees Mr Archie Shepp doing some poetic recitation over a slow tempo beat that very much sounds like rapping!!!He is originally known for playing saxophone and this is one of the rare times he actually grabs the mic !Superb...
Here is a bit of info from Professor Wikipedia :
ARCHIE SHEPP (born May 24, 1937) is a prominent African-American jazz saxophonist.^[1] Shepp is best known for his passionately Afrocentric music of the late 1960s, which focused on highlighting the injustices faced by the African race, as well as for his work with the New York Contemporary Five, Horace Parlan, and his collaborations with his "New Thing" contemporaries, most notably Cecil Taylor and John Coltrane.^[1]

Ps: Big up the blog orgy in rythm for sharing theses gems with us!!!

fresh brand new music : Tune yards

tUnE-yArDs is the singular musical project of New England native Merrill Garbus. Possessing an expansive sound that marries a coarse folk ingenuity with the bold pop sensibility of an R&B siren, BiRd-BrAiNs was assembled with a staunch DIY aesthetic.

Recording herself using a digital voice recorder and assembled using shareware mixing software, she was described by Stereogum as “a self-contained Sublime Frequencies compilation, jumping between blues, African tunes, shiny reggae-esque sprawls, and lo-fi folk”, infusing the worldly sonic palette of M.I.A. or post-punk pioneers The Raincoats.

Check out her amazing live performance here

Orange juice - 'The Glasgow School'

Orange Juice was a Scottish post-punk band founded in the middle class Glasgow suburb of Bearsden as the Nu-Sonics in 1976. Edwyn Collins formed the Nu-Sonics (who were named after a cheap brand of guitar) with his fellow Bearsden Academy pupil, Alan Duncan, and James Kirk and Steven Daly left a band called The Machetes to join them.^[1] The band became Orange Juice in 1979. Orange Juice are best known for the hit "Rip It Up", which reached number 8 on the UK Singles Chart in February 1983, the band's only UK Top 40 hit.^[2]

My personal favourites on this one are "consolation prize" and "poor old soul part 1"

Da king and I-"contemporary jeep music"

FUNKY, FUNKY, FUNKY...is the best word(s) to describe this '93 east-coast release. Of course, 90% of the albums that came out in that brilliant era were dope, but Da King & I is a really unique duo with a sound that seemingly never gets old. You could say it's Maj's incredible, layered beats that make this album stand out, but more appropriately it's the chemistry between Izzy and Majesty that make "Contemporary Jeep Music" a really dope listen.


Here's the track list:

1) Intro (Contemporary Jeep Music)
2) Let's Take a Trip
3) Flip da Scrip
4) Interlude 1 (MC A$$h*le)
5) Krak da Weazel
6) Interlude 2 (Amusement Park)
7) Brain 2 U
8) Tears
9) Soul Shack Interlude
10) Ghetto Instinct
11) Mr. All That
12) Interlude 3 (Jazz Skit)
13) This is How We Do
14) Interlude 4 (Izzy Sings da Blues) *One of the best skits I've ever heard*
15) Lost My Mind
16) Represent
17) Crack da Weasel (Dat Other S***)
18) What's Up Doc
