Hot 97 International

So I was in a shop in Harajuku the other day and what was on the radio but Hot 97--live from NYC. I didn't realize it at first but as soon as I heard that dude who does all the drops (the whitest guy on the station next to Peter Rosenberg) I knew it was Hot. I asked the guy in the store how he was listening to NY radio in Tokyo and he tried to explain it but I didn't really understand. I know that Hot doesn't stream online and he said you have to pay for it over here. After doing some googling back in my hotel, I discovered that Hot 97 is apparently "heard by large audiences in Japan through an exclusive cable stream reflecting its appeal beyond its core tri-state listenership." According to an article published just two weeks ago, Emmis is launching Hot 97 International this year, which is to include an online stream of the station! Granted it's 90% repetitive garbage but we need Hot 97 around the world for the mixshows (i.e. Mr. Cee, Flex, Ciph, Green Lantern, Cocoa Channel, Peter Rosenberg, etc). Anyway, Japan never ceases to amaze... Of course they have Hot 97 over here... I shouldn't have even been surprised. Check out this article for more.

Spacelab Yellow, Tokyo

Konichiwa [bitches] from Japan! Everything is going great out here on the Riverdance tour. Tokyo is an incredible city on par with NYC in a completely different way. The nightlife over here is insane and never stops, which brings me to Spacelab Yellow

I've been there twice this week, on Tuesday for Miguel Migs with Lisa Shaw live, which was great. I'm not sure if it can top last night's marathon set by DJ Spinna, who played everything from classic Gangstarr, ATCQ, and Wu Tang, to James Brown, to Masters at Work, to Larry Levan. The crowd was so ready to get down with whatever he played, and for good reason. Admission was about $25 with a free drink ticket and I was drinking $7 JD and Coke all night. Find me a deal like that at any club in NYC! Unfortunately, Spacelab Yellow will be closing in July, so I am lucky that I got to experience the vibe at this amazing venue before it no longer exists. Even though I have to be up super early on Sundays, I might just have to go to the Shelter Japan tour with Timmy Regisford on Saturday night in a couple weeks... Below are videos from Tuesday and Thursday nights inside Yellow. Enjoy...

DJ SPINNA DROPS "AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH" LATE IN THE NIGHT


LISA SHAW PERFORMS "LET IT RIDE"


LISA SHAW PERFORMS "CHERRY"


MIGUEL MIGS GETS TECHED-OUT

Like We Always Do At This Time...

The Kanye West album is good. Really, really good. In fact, I would go so far as to say it's one of the best, most cohesive Hip Hop albums I have heard in a long time. Since my boy Mike AKA BONEZ (props!) hooked me up with the ill-virtual-back-ass-of-Canal-Street internet leak yesterday I have listened to the whole record start to finish at least 3 or 4 times. It is a joint meant to be experienced as a whole, and it is enjoyable start to finish. There might be a track or two that doesn't quite stand up to the best of the rest, but everything is fully bumpable. The songwriting is fully realized, and the guest appearances (Mos Def, Coldplay's Chris Martin, T-Pain, Lil Wayne, Dwele, DJ Premier) are interesting without being overwhelming or distracting. As far as comparisons go, the first thing that comes to mind is Dr. Dre's "Chronic 2001,"--another record that really sticks together and stands up as a whole. Kanye's production is slick as ice with soulful grooves interlaced with grand synths and string sections. His lyrics are honest and straight to the point. This album should go down as an instant classic. And without further ado, your boy White Label gots the exclusive hookup fa yo ass. I'm not gonna post the whole album, I'll leave that to you and google, [newb], but of course I gotta drop a couple exclusives CUZ THAT'S HOW WE DO THINGS. FALL BACK!!!

The Good Life

For all you underprvileged kids out there without HBO, here's a clip of Kanye's cameo on last night's episode of Entourage.

The closing credits feature a teaser of "The Good Life," the upcoming 3rd single off of "Graduation." No doubt we'll be hearing a lot of this tune over the next few months, featuring R&B collabo-king T-Pain.

On another note, my boys THE BAD NEWS just dropped a mixtape featuring a joint also called "The Good Life," produced by YOURS TRULY.

NOTE: NickName of Bad News fame brought this to my attention yesterday...I thought that the Kanye and Bad News joints by the same title were a matter of pure coincidence. Nick, however, was salty over the fact that the Bad News performed this song when they opened up for Lupe Fiasco last May. Could Lupe have put his boy Kanye onto this lyrical concept to make his next zillion-selling hit? Who knows...unfortunately there's no way to say. You be the judge.

Diggin...Part 1

Peep this incredible jazzy summertime jam by Q-Tip from his 1999 album, "Amplified." This track is produced by none other than the late great J Dilla. The video isn't amazing but man, what a record. "Let's Ride" features a tiny snippet of the ubiquitous "UFO" break by ESG and subtle drum sampling from "The Humpty Dump" by The Vibrettes (video below).




The guitar lick comes from the Joe Pass version of John Coltrane's classic tune from 1960, "Giant Steps." I don't have the mp3, but you can listen to the track in its entirety RIGHT HERE ON RHAPSODY
The sample used in "Let's Ride" is right around the 3 minute mark. Enjoy.

Hip Hop Went Pop

On the heels of posting up the Coolie High video below I thought of this t-shirt I came across at the Reed Space the other day. It's already a bit of a cliché to bitch and moan about why most commercial Hip Hop sucks these days and why a record like Coolie High would never come out in 2007. So...I'm not gonna even go down that road and we'll just let this clever t-shirt (by Nightvision) speak for itself. It seems to be sold out in online retail outlets so get your ass down to the Lower East Side and cop one.

Heavy 90's!!

This Camp Lo classic is helping me get through an incredibly boring and early morning of jury duty selection in Brooklyn. Enjoy. "Let me see ya istols in the air--word life."

Kanyeezy You Did It Again

"Zach Galifianakis (top) and Will Oldham (ghost riding the whip)."

From New York Magazine:
"For his new clip for the single "Can't Tell Me Nothing," Kanye West tapped the talents of famed lip-syncer Zach Galifianakis, along with those of noted choreographer Will Oldham (a.k.a. Bonnie "Prince" Billy), to create what will surely go down in history as the greatest rap video ever to be filmed on a farm in rural North Carolina."

Props to Matt K for putting me onto this ridiculous video parody of the Kanye West joint, "Can't Tell Me Nothing." ENJOY HERE.

White Label Radio

A couple years ago I had the ill college radio mix show on Tufts University's WMFO up in the Boston area. I used to always open with an instrumental loop of THIS TRACK RIGHT HERE so I thought it was only fitting to throw it up on the first day of my blog's existence.

Here's a vintage episode of "In the Mix With DJ White Label." Totally unplanned, unscripted, uncensored college radio rawness. DOWNLOAD

"Delivery Service and Trow Tuck Company"

Peep this NORE video that basically gives you a 4 minute summary of the visually appealing but ultimately-too-drawn-out documentary "Cocaine Cowboys." The Jan Hammer sample used for this beat is a recurring musical motif throughout the film and makes a dope loop. HERE'S WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING ABOUT "COCAINE COWBOYS." Be on the lookout for Part 2.

Liftoff

WARNING, WARNING, WHITE LABEL IS IN THE BUILDING. (Actually I guess I'm outside the building in that photo...whatever.) Yes indeed, welcome ladies and gentlemen to the white label audio blog. Not much to say so I'm just gonna show you how thorough we keep it around here with a brand new mix of classic records called "Back 2 Basics." That's right, vinyl records.
