J.ust U.nderstanding S.elf

JUS Evolution is my FAVORITE band... I was introduced to them through my peoples Wise Dred when he had an event called the Evolution of Music at Crash Mansion. JUS is the lead singer and insanely talented guitar player who regularly channels Jimi Hendrix and Tupac to name a few. Through his musical journey he discovered a formula that has seperated JUS EVOLUTION from all the other bands in my mind.

They are all talented in each of their instruments but when they come together their teamwork is what comes through the music. Whether they perform for a crowd at Best Buy, a small night club in NYC or a huge open outdoor stadium in Germany they give their full rocked out hiphop funk of rhymes and riffs! I love the fact that everything they say is an emotion you can relate to or learn from. JUS has a way of showing you that they are rockstars in an everyday sense that their feet are still planted firm on the ground.

Their humble spirits, their consistent grind to expose their hardwork, their creative approach to a changing industry and the fact that they are of a different genre shows testament to the passion for the music. To me this genre hasn't been to the surface yet so JUS is blazing new trails and showing you that anyone, any color, any financial status can rock out if you just have the PASSION & DRIVE which this band does to the 5th power!!

"DO NOT SLEEP on this excitingly hip band that makes me forget whats going on in my day to day and reminds me to just FEEL the MUSIC & let it GO!!!"

Snake in the grass of...

Hiphop is an artistic commitment to seize freedom from oppressive social conditions. This artistic commitment inherent in Hiphop culture expresses a reality of human transcendence which was originally born out of the creative impulse and cultural improvisation of the oppressed African American, Afro-Caribbean and Latino American communities...(wiki)

But through the years as money arrived in this kulture the snakes arrived as well. Like the fat rats in the political world who are only here for "self" to fill their pockets with their love for greed. The only people that suffer are the other 99%... (That is half the reason why Hiphop is in the state it is in right now!) ...and Hiphop IS suffering... and it has for years.
I have seen over the past decade plus people taken for money, time & energy either because they were ignorant to the facts or because the person taking them was just that damn good at scamming. PEOPLE RESEARCH, READ, GET REFERRALS!! These new artists coming up don't take the time to learn their business and how things work.
But what really gets my heart is these people that are in positions for some reason or another who take advantage of those trying to get ahead. The people aka snakes who feed on this kulture instead of giving back to it. They fuck their way, suck their way, scam, scheme, lie & cut to get what? A dollar!

Word of mouth is thee best for of advertising and it can build you or it can break you. If you not asking around and learning about who your dealing with on whatever level of business you are on then shame on you BUT I have NO MERCY for those that know what their doing and continue to do it. And you will get found out, you are getting found out becuase the truth always comes to the light. Perfect example if you have made any $money$ from this life called Hiphop and you haven't given back in some way shape are form to this community then you need to be jailed and or sat down and taught a really good lesson(brassknuckles).
Teach our kids to carry this kulture. Show people how to make that next move without charging them an arm and leg. Give to the Fathers of Hiphop. Whens the last time anyone did anything for DJ Kool Herc or Bambaataa? I think Amerika is such a hypocrital place where we dont take care of our assets, elders & our 'selves'. No Respect!


Just because they have a title, business or a level of certain success doesn't make them a good person. They are wolves in sheeps clothing, white, black, brown so never assume. These snakes in the grass can be hard to see and some are better then others but it is VITAL to learn how to spot them. So sometimes you have to sit still and observe. Watch how people move, look who they work with, look who they look out for, watch what they say in comparison to how they act... WATCH! You see em? I see em!!

Respect Roc Raida

Friday was ____________ I can't even explain in words but I will try to because I have to share what an experience it was. The Tribute event hosted by KINETIC NRG & LORD SEAR for the recent passing of the Legendary Roc Raida at BB Kings NYC was packed, the energy was nice but what really stood out to me was the love that could be felt. The whole X-ECUTIONERS /X-MEN family was there along with the BEAT JUNKIES BABU, J-ROCC, RHETTMATIC, SHORTKUT CRAZE, A-TRAK, Z-TRIP, DJ SCRATCH, ROLI RHO, IDEE, DJ DUMMY, SLYCE & SHIFTEE. Busta Bus came through but it was DJ KOOL HERC's words that really set the night off letting the world know that Roc Raida was a Grand Master! Video of Raida and past interviews as well as friends shotouts flashed on the screens in between Dj's sets. They all showed off their best Beat Juggling for there fellow comrade and showed off well. You can google/wikipedia Dj Roc Raida if you like but from what I saw that night was who Roc Raida was in real life... down to earth, eclectic, energetic, loyal and real!

I was fortunate enough to have (one) see him spin at the DMC World Finals (USA) and (two) I was able to have a good conversation with him about music. I again will never understand why the good ones go first but you will be missed. Your family and friends have class but most of all respect for you as your event was epic and down to earth. All proceeds went to his wife and children. His daughter even got on stage to share a view words... and when asked what she wants to be when she grows up, she answered, "I want to be a DJ!"

Crowd cheers and holds up their "X"'s .... nothing but love!

WEB had an I.D.E.A.

Web said the mixtape came together over the course of 3 days. He wanted to give his upcoming album with production team I.D.e.A a little added push so he went ahead and put together the Web's Great I.D.e.A mixtape. It's comprised of a bunch of songs and loose verses he had laying around over top of 17 exclusive I.D.e.A beats. Nothing really more to it. Beats, Rhymes, Life. Web & I.D.e.A are God's Favorites hits iTunes on 11/17.

Chink Santana on Sex & Politics

CHINK SANTANA aka THE GAWD

~~UNDERGROUND SOUL~~

Benjamin Arce is an amazingly talented artist who will ease your mind but at the same time make you reflect. You might be inspired but I gaurantee Benjamin Arce will put you in a different mood than when you began listening.
I rarely just throw a whole album up but this music just has to be heard. Something you can pop in next to Maxwell, John Legend, Sade or Rapheal Saadiq with a little incense or candle, romance your girl or just destress. Underground Soul is interestingly refreshing and I love it!

Its Bigger When We Come Together..

Most of these pics are from the Zulu Nation Party in the BX from a few months back. I always have sooo much fun when I hang with my girl Miss Toni Hill and I appreciate all the REAL HIPHOP HEADS and OG's who consistently show me crazy love!!!

We have to remember to create a positive environment for our youth to be creative, have fun and feel safe. Hiphop brings people together BUT it is up to our adults and veterans to be leaders in creating such a place for kids. I call on all who have the ablitity to make such thing happen to have a FAMILY DAY event at least once a year in your community. A place where clean Hip Hop music is played, families are participating in the youths activities ( music, dance, arts, games ) to support them with your presence & knowledge! We HAVE to teach them HOW to continue this kulture and NOT water it down or EXPLOIT it......


Peace,

FunkMaster Flex presents HIPHOP Legends Concert Series

Last night @BB Kings Time Square NYC was completely alive. Tickets were sold out and the line was long but the night air was warm. Some waited over an hour or so to get in but once they let them all in it was time...DJ Red Alert was on the one's and two's when I walked in the deep crowd.




Funk Master Flex came out to introduce the first performer Dres from Black Sheep who warmed up the stage for the Lords of the Underground who pointed out that NJ has supported NY hiphop for a long time. NJ was definetily in the building..."here come the Lords"!!!









Marley Marl (Juice Crew) kept the stage on fire... Just when I thought it couldn't get better Funk Master Flex came up to introduce Brand Nubian (shot out @sadatx on twitter) with DJ Alamo on the tables. "Slow Down" and "Love me or Leave me Alone" just to name a few of the trios bangers. The crowd was moving, cheering and finishing lines and singing hooks. Positive K, Papa Wu, Ron G, Mad Linx, Kangol from UTFO, Timbo King was in the building as well as Vinnie from Naughty by Nature who came up to promote their next show coming up at BB Kings. The night was definitely NOT over even though it was already about 1:30 in the a.m. becuase the N.O.R.E. came in and took over the entire room of BB Kings with an energy that has sorely been missed.
Noreaga who is a new daddy didn't seem to lose his touch of stage presence and grace. He made his fans proud...

Now my ass was getting tired and since Noreaga took the stage the NY Fire Marshall had come in to make sure we didn't tear the roof down or set anything on fire. If only I had brought my big purse with the 5 hour energy shot becuase I was soooo tired from a full day and it was already 3:30 in the a.m. and Redman and Method still had to take the stage. I didn't want to miss it but I was not about to be found and or caught falling asleep in the spot so I headed my ass out to find a cab home.

Shot out to Beloved, my girl Ceeta and DJ Supreme for the convo.... If you are EVER in NYC or if Brand Nubian or NORE come to your town DO NOT MISS THAT SHOW!!! Once again I say HIPHOP is NOT DEAD!!!!

The next concert is June 17th HIP-HOP LEGENDS CONCERT SERIES
Featuring:
NAUGHTY BY NATURE
NICE & SMOOTH
BLACK MOON
SMITH & WESSON
MC LYTE
RAEKWON

Beneath the Coma

I love hiphop.. if you know me you know I love hiphop.... now there are ALOT of bloggers, but one of my favs is http://www.thebeatnikchronicles.blogspot.com ! Watch this video to see what I am talking about while you read the rest of this lil bloggy blog here...




Times are changing.... so many people have been saying "hiphop is dead" ... I dont even like saying the words because it sounds so ridiculous... now that wasn't the greatest performance in that video but they keep the energy of the music going so that the crowd was entertained... many producers, artists, and personalities were showcased and it was just moving! Music is suppose to make you move and moving should be fun right? Hiphop is not dead... I think its in a coma. On the surface it seems dead but beneath if you search for signs of life... you'll find underground, backpacking hiphop heads. You will find producers in their house all weekend long making crazy beats, you will find pads and pads of lyrics scratched on by emcees, and you will find people like me who grind almost 24 hours a day.

Yes we all need to eat and Yes we all need to support but make sure that you support the right people and the right situations. If your tired of the crappy events and or club events in your area STOP GOING! TALENTED people are everywhere you just have to seek them out and support them.... like D.R.E.S. the Beatnik!!!!

Much Respect,
MISSY B
