Goodbye Lotus!

Two weeks ago, one of New York City's longest opened night clubs (of this decade) closed it's doors. The first night I played there was when Frank Roberts & Jovar started the Sunday Night party (which would later become Damon & Nitro's party). From '02 until sometime in 2005, I was one of the few dj's that was a resident (along with Ruckus, Stretch and Ani). Later in '06, I became the resident for Bill Spector & Ofeer's Wednesday party. And last but not least, I was a part of the 1992 party which started out in the basement. This was basically my house! Since there are so many memories, I've decided to post some some pic's and videos from over the years. Enjoy.

DJ S&S & Craig G

For this week, I was planning to post "Niggaz Don't Give A Fuck" and talk about how Craig G was sort of a mentor when I moved to Brooklyn in the summer of '94. He was working in the basement of Music Factory (in Fulton Mall) and that had become my second home. Fam schooled me on how the mixtape game worked and how much politics were involved within the dj circuit and the music industry. A few months after meeting him, Funk Flex made him a member of The Flip Squad and Craig quit Music Factory. After that, he dropped several dope mixes including this collaberation with S&S...

Earlier today, I listened to the cassette and realized that I had taped over a majority of it, so as a plan B, here's a gem from another good friend of mine... Courtesy of the Know Good Music Blog.

DJ S&S

NIGGAZ STILL AIN'T NICE

Side A / Side B
(1995)

This Isn't Right

Shaq is back on the mic and this time it's with a vengeance.
My question is why did he have to make that Ewing comment?

DJ Clue

Yup, it's been a minute since I've posted some mixtapes. Now since it's still spring I've decided it's time to give Clue some shine. When he dropped volume 1 of the Springtyme Stick Up Series in 1995, he was officially crowned the number #1 mixtape DJ in New York City...

DJ CLUE 

SPRING-TYME STICK UP 

 (Recorded in 1995)

Side A - Side B

Bonus Mix

Sping Part 2 (Side B) 

This was also recorded in '95 (before Spring Tyme Stick Up). 

PS - Springtyme Part's 2 & 3 will be posted next year since they came out in '96. Maybe I'll post Scarecrow's B-Day soon...

The Bowe Vs Golota Riot

Live from Madison Square Garden, Lou Duva gets carried out on a stretcher like Mickey in Rocky 3. George Foreman tries to play peace maker and HBO keeps the cameras rolling as people in the stands start fighting! Brooklyn was definitely in the house!

Japanese Video Game Shows

Pac Man

Tetris

Converse

Since I'm in Boston to play an event celebrating Converse's 100 year anniversary and game 3 of the Lakers and Celtics final is tonight, I thought it would be good to post the following videos. Enjoy.

Magic Vs Bird

(1987)

Bonus Video #1 

Converse Weapon (Check out the Benard King cameo!)

Bonus Video #2

Converse React with Larry Johnson (1993)

The Troutman's

There is no question that T-Pain is nice with that vocoder / autotuner. Now that Weezy, 50 and Kan Yeezy (among others) are pushing it to the limit, let's give credit where it's do....

Bo Don't Know Diddley
