I think Cee-lo is one of those “slept on” artists on the West Coast. I loved him in the Goodie Mob and his album Cee-Lo Green the Soul Machine was an awesome album, but maybe now people will pay more attention. His new Song is genius, check it out and let me know what you think… i think this will be the sing along for 2010!
5x DMC World Champion DJ Craze takes things to the next level in this new turntablism routine, using Traktor Scratch Pro and the Kontrol X1 controller. Using the X1, Craze simultaneously triggers cue points on both decks, while still staying true to his roots with some serious beatjuggling.
By combining traditional vinyl techniques like juggling, scratching and body tricks with advanced controller-based functions such as cue point manipulation, tempo-synced effects and ultra-quick track changes, this performance showcases the cutting edge of turntablism and controllerism using the latest digital DJing technology.

Grammy-winning rapper Eminem‘s Recovery will reportedly sell up to 615,000 copies in its first-week on store shelves.
Based on one-day estimates, Em will easily go gold after his first seven days.
Offering conclusive proof that Marshall still matters, Eminem’s
aptly named Recovery will score the year’s highest sales debut. Look for a total of between 590-615k for the Shady/Aftermath/Interscope album, easily beating Sade‘s 503k back in February. It could also beat his last album, Relapse, which sold 608k in its first week in May ’09. (Hits Daily Double)
Radio personality DJ Whoo Kid recently predicted Em would out-sell Drake‘s Thank Me Later debut.
“Will Drake sell 500k the first week?”
“predictions — drake —–350-420k first week”
“EMinem —- – 650-700k first week.” (DJ Whoo Kid’s Twitter)
Earlier this month, Fat Joe gave his opinion of Em’s latest effort.
“That sh*t’s crazy,” Joe said in an interview. “That sh*t with him and [Lil] Wayne, [track] number two ['Talkin' 2 Myself']. All that sh*t, man. That n*gga spittin’. Hard…I thought I wasn’t gonna like it, cause n*ggas was sayin’, Yo, it’s rock, and this and that,’ but that sh*t was hard. I was expecting just more regular hip-hop type sh*t. You know what I’m sayin’? It was more like Just Blaze-[produced] rock sh*t…I like that sh*t. A lot. I can’t lie to you…I think he’s back to where he once was…For real. I think lyrically, he’s back to where he was. That’s what I got from the album.” (XXL Mag)
The Shady Records boss’ new album leaked online in early June.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a new kid on the block like Drake or a veteran like Eminem, chances are your new album is bound to leak early at some point. Marshall Mathers
It doesn’t get much bigger than this boys and girls. Vice and D-Nice creating new concoctions from their favorite drink Hennessy Black. Balllaaaaa!!!
This duo is pretty crazy. I can’t decide if I like it or not… wait, no I love it. It has definately taken me out of my comfort zone. Maybe I’m just not feelin’ the music in the US that I have to look elsewhere. OR it could be that I am turning into my dad and when my kids say, “Dad, did you hear that new “Pitbull?”
I may respond like “If you want to hear real music, let me show you some ‘real’ music!”
As I turn the radio to K-Earth 101 where they are playing the 20 year old music of old: Tribe Called Quest ot The Fugees.
The Enter The Ninja track also has TsimFuckis, which is cool and crazy at the same time. If you don’t know who TsimFuckis is, search for him on YouTube …
In the meantime, check out these videos (2nd one is NSFW)
Another dope track. His lyrics are actually funny at times… Similar to a Kanye flow

This track is pretty dope. They have an upcoming album called Almost Famous

I found this pretty interesting. Although few admit it, everyone used to bump Ice-Ice Baby and do the running man… how else did this happen:
To the Extreme became the fastest selling hip hop album of all time,[20] peaking at #1 on the Billboard 200.[21] The album spent 16 weeks on the charts, and sold eleven million copies.[22] To the Extreme was the best selling hip hop album up until that time.”[23])
Well, in comes the new generation of music, sampling and remakes. Why not remake one of the top selling albums of hip-hop??? Well, here you go:
So Jeff G and Rawn had a pretty popular show on the #1 station in LA (Power 106) called the Aquanet Set. After a good run, they started a new show called the “Old Skool Show.” I think Jeff is a very talented on-air jock. He has always had a cool attitide and stays grounded. Now take Jeff G and pair him up with one of the most humble/dopest dj’s in LA!?!?! It’s a winning combo!
I can’t say enough about Rawn. He is the HOMEY! Part of the Ewoks crew from LA (yes, a rarely heard of crew that had some of the dopest LA dj’s: Ryo, Coke-e, Clockwork, Echo, Vice and myself. I know there were a couple more, but I can’t remember atm) and of course one of the Power Mixers. I think there are 3 on air dj’s in LA that first dominated the battle dj’s scene and then turned to mainstream radio to conquer programing and blending. Rawn is definately one of them. Here is a mix that they featured on http://www.themixshow.com.
All I can say is… skills!
