Some footage from 1986 of Jam Master Jay (R.I.P.) & Run in the studio. Now If I could only find that demo that 50 recorded when he was signed to Jay's label JMJ.

Why is it such a mission to be able to find this in my size without buying the pack? If anybody has a 9.5 or a 10 and would like to sell it separately from the pack, please leave a comment with a contact.

Three posts this week with Positive K videos? 

I don't think anybody will be mad.

Pimping Ain't Easy

I know the ecomony is bad but damn... Legalizing hookers in San Francisco? I knew something was wrong yesterday when I saw a hipster in Brooklyn dressed like Goldie. He's lucky my camera is broken. Now, for more information on how to get your pimp game right, check this out.

Positive K featuring Big Daddy Kane

"Night Shift"

Check this post for some classic footage and a track he did with Big Daddy Kane back in 1990. Classic shit!

Coming Soon

At the request of Raphael Saadiq, I've teamed up with him to drop a new online mixtape. Stay tuned for more details. I'm in the lab right now knocking it out.

Attn: Recording Artists

You know times are rough right now and technology has made recording really cheap and easy to do. For less than ten thousand, u can buy an good computer and pro tools... Don't forget about the external hard drives so your music is backed up. Now, if you're in need of an engineer, you can send your boy to school and within a few lessons he'll be ready to rock!

Gran Turismo 10 Year Anniversary Party Rap Up

In case u missed out, it was a great event!

And I also learned a few things...

(1) I'm too old to drink.

(2) Neil Armstrong and DJ Chippy's serato computers wouldn't work which proves that playing records might be better than using Serato at corperate events.

(3) Kid Sister is mad chill and has a fatty. More pic's and coverage can be found here, here, here and here.

Shouts to Staple, LTD Plus, Polyphony Digital, Wendy from Nitrolicious, Mel D Cole, Haze, Juju, Yu-Ming, Ray & Dennis (Mighty Healthy), Drew, Terrence (Nike), Sky, Neil, Iran, DJ Gantman, TCK Crew and everybody else who I got a chance to act a fool with...

Q Tip x Dilla x The Jacksons

Here's the video for Q Tip's new single (produced by Dilla) off of his upcoming album. Is it a coincidence that the track samples "Dancing Machine" by The Jacksons and the video jacks the concept from Michael Jackson's "Rock With You?"

So....

I just got a phone call to spin at the X Box party for Guitar Hero. It's at the same time as the Playstation 3 party on Thursday. I don't know what's goin on here but I bet the party I'm spinnin at will be better! Just like the time when those kids from "I Want To Work for Diddy" were broken up into two teams to see who can throw a better party. Cassidy was booked to spin in one room and I was booked to spin in the other. I didn't get any television time but guess which team won? Thanks Cap!

I have to give props to Elliot Wilson for this.
His posts is one of the few reasons why I check facebook.

Events This Week

On Thursday, I'll be spinning a set at the Playstation 3 release party for Gran Turismo. Kid Sister is performing and a car painted by Haze is being given away. And on Friday night I'm gonna troop over to Studio B in Brooklyn and spin with my homegirl Oxy Cottontail (I think we're playing upstairs). Shouts to the entire staff over at LTD, Jan, Jeff Staple, Nico, Bill Spector, Tom Mello and Chris Love. Info for the events are below (click on the flyer to read the fine print).

Mistakes Of A Woman In Love

Since LL Cool J likes to rap to the ladies, this would be an appropiate time for the return of the ruler.

This Weekend...

Happy birthday shout to all my Libra's.

Pink Cookies

So LL Cool J has a new album out...

Does anybody know if any of the tracks sound like this?

1986 Interview with James Todd Smith

The Los Angeles Dodgers

How weird would it be to see Joe Torre, Manny Ramirez, Scott Proctor and Derek Lowe win a championship together? I wouldn't be mad... After all, the Dodgers are originally from Brooklyn.

Ain't No Love In The City

This is 100 times better than that electro remix of Love Lockdown.

Doin Time In Times Square

Ever wonder what Times Square was like back in the day? Check out this video of dude getting knocked out and then pick pocketed. The footage is from a Charlie Ahearn dvd (see the description below for more info). Now excuse me while I take a month off from blogging. Jan, I hope you're happy now!

Description

Despite the success of Charlie Ahearn's seminal hip-hop film Wild Style he turned from narrative film to painting and video art for most of the 1980s and 1990s. In 1991 he created a video journal through the window of his Times Square apartment Doin' Time in Times Square. He managed to capture Times Square in all of its' pre-Giuliani glory during a period of unbridled tension when Times Square was that strange mixture of very low brow adult side shows and arcades poverty hookers and yes even high brow theatre a block away. Some called it the freest place on earth other's called it a hell hole.

Ms. 45

If there's one thing I love to see in a movie, it's watching a female fuck shit up. This film is from the same person who brought you Bad Lieutenant. If anyone has the unedited version for sale on dvd or vhs, leave a comment with a way for me to get in contact with you...

Beware!

The New York City Vandal Unit may be looking for you!

It's only right to give Mylo some shine.
After all, he was mentioned in my last post.
