with that said will let me buy "Fly Girl" thats a HIT!

Camp Lo - Ticket For Two

2008-01-15T12:21:00.001-08:00

Although they've never topped the classic Uptown Saturday Night LP, Camp Lo will always be somewhere on my top 10 hip hop duo list because of their personal influence on my own style.
For some reason I always dug the blaxploitated jewel heisting slick willy shit and no one had ever done it quite like them, it wasnt forced either, you could tell that was just their thing. I remember seeing them doing an interview with Joe Claire on Rap City chilling in a old school movie spot watching all the black cinema classics, that had me amped... I mean I must've bought their debut about 3 diff times (my tape was stolen ((lewis I KNOW it was you nigga)), then the cd i copped got scratched up, and the third time it came in the mail as one of the cd club 12 for 12 cents offers) Anyway this is the latest joint from the diamond crooks themselves (and I say "latest" even though I've had it for months) Shout to my dude Ed Martin, we chopped it up a few days back about Black Hollywood (an album they released last year, without this song) and how although them linking back up with Ski was cool, it hurt that he isnt really killing the production like he used to (Reasonable Doubt and Uptown Saturday made Ski the truth back then) :-/
I think the Lo'wer should holla @ Madlib for a few beats... now that might be some shit!

"lights out !" : an open letter to the record industry & the idiots who work for the fascist regime.

2008-01-10T17:43:00.000-08:00

from the desk of jack davey:

read this out loud !  

this is intended for all of you lowly puppets who sit in your big offices in big buildings that will soon be out of business & thus, forced to hold vacant memories of an industry that once was . this is for all of the big wigs in suits & ties who sit at the head of the conference room table with creative opinions as empty as the "music" they force down the throats of the now bored & uninspired creative consumers . this is for all the idle assistants who only work hard enough to get their names on the grammy party lists, or whose only existence remains obsolete if he/she can't get into the hot new band's hollywood show debut . this is for the borderline retarded a&r guy who should in fact abandon his dreams of changing the failing record industry to become a highly paid talent scout at a modeling agency . this is definitely for all the marketing low lives who fail to avidly push great talent because the world's fave reality slut randomly decided one day while botoxing her armpits that she wants to be a rockstar.

  yes .
 this open letter is for all of you . come feast your eyes upon the truth behind your insolence for 5 minutes , if you even have your job for that much longer.   your blatant lack of respect & worship for the oldest & dearest artform has brought a once thriving & artistic industry to a grinding halt . your willingness to believe that the world wide web has killed the consumers' thirst for new & exciting talent is wildly ignorant & safe . you would like to feed into this stupidity because you are too lazy to stand behind substance ; you'd rather take the low & easy road than take the time to nurture true talent . you'd rather tirelessly feed us the same carbon copied , lip synching , sex dripping , faux punk "i got my entire outfit from hot topic" rocker , buffoonishly ghetto "are they even speaking english?" hip hop , "same old same" sound from song to song type image & force us to believe that this is all the world's artists have to offer . you'd rather watch your company stocks & yearly record sales severely plummet than take strong initiative to fix the current problem . you'd rather see hundreds of employees laid off & out of work during the holidays because you're too afraid to stand up for something new & different . you're content with creating a 1-hit wonder society , where any idiot with anything shockingly catchy can enjoy a sorry 15 minutes of fame & a future segment on vh1's "biggest 1-hit wonders of 08" extravaganza .

where is the new generation of legends ?

  beyonce & alicia keys are old shoe ins . r kelly , sure , but his personal dramas easily overshadow his genius . radiohead & outkast comes to mind , & then i draw a big blank .

  the latest thrill in music has been an over abundance of great dancers with mediocre voices , albums , singles , concert ticket sales , etc . thank god the internet allows every joe blow in the universe a free forum to overexpose every little thing , especially mediocre celebrities . thank god for online music forums , such as myspace . artists are able to directly connect with the people & expose themselves & their art to everyone everywhere at the click of a button . myspace proves that music can no longer fit into a box . long gone are the days of urban vs pop vs alternative radio . gwen stefani had hit songs for years on the pop & alt charts , but she records a song written by pharrell & she's instantly on top of the urban charts as well . this new r&b dance pop music crosses over to white kids & that kelly clarkson "since you've been gone" song was smeared across the lips of many a young black girl last year . m i a is all over the indie alternative stations , & lets not even get started on gnarls barkeley .

all signs point to the obvious : true music consumers right now are a ) young , & b) smart . young kids are able to point & click their way to every new trend . they arguably have short attention spans & they want to be in on what's cool & personable to them . when madonna emerged in the '80s you had tons of girls around the world imitating her every move & style down to the mole . kurt cobain turned grunge commercial when he was exposed to millions of kids who felt like society's outsiders looking in . hip-hop has been a huge influence on mainstream culture since the early '80s because of it's relativity . kids have not changed . young people are not mindless robots who like what you tell them to like with no opinions . the youth are always looking to be enthralled .

  they want to be entertained . they want to feel as though they are a part of something that will be written about , studied , & revered 20 years later . they , like all of us old & young alike , want to be inspired . when i was a kid i saw prince prance around on stage & dazzle people with his art & i felt inspired to do the same thing . why are you music industry idiots attempting to tell us that we don't want to be touched ? why are you trying to rob us of new musical experiences ? will there ever be another motown 25 / michael jackson moonwalk experience ? will we never again hear a single like queen's "bohemian rhapsody" on the radio because the hook isn't catchy enough ? will we never see another band like the talking heads & joy division or parliament ? will there never be another artist to rival frank zappa ? will we be forced to hear different versions of the same dumb song on every single radio station every 5 minutes simply because the record label had enough money to pay off the station manager ? are we still supposed to care about mtv when there are hardly any videos in rotation ? do i even need to mention b e t or v h 1 ? are any of the classic record industry outlets working these days ? as of late it seems that artists are independently breaking ground with their own efforts . songs are being licensed for national commercials from artists' myspace pages & personal websites . ellen degeneres has been known to book musical guests from videos seen on youtube , & as i aforementioned , gnarls barkeley not only created a new genre , but they also won grammy awards for an album that was recorded in home studios & released through an indie label .

  why should artists even seek major label deals ? they are completely outdated & obsolete . artists are sold the dream that talent can secure superstardom , but it becomes evident that labels only sign bands nowdays because of the band's existing fanbase & record sales , or because they dig the artist's look & want to cash in . they don't want to develop the art . they don't want the artist to express his/herself entirely . they just want the artist to comply with what will get the company a big monetary return . they sign you for millions , pimp you for pennies , then drop you a year later when the music they made you record & release is no longer relevant . you're left on the streets unsigned & irrelevant & ready to infect the world with the music you've always wanted to make , but no one will take a chance on you due to your previous material . meanwhile , the label has already put white out over your signature on the slave deal & replaced it with a younger version of you . cold game , ain't it ?

  the age old model is failing . as an industry based on faithful consumers you have lost your connection with the people who matter most : the PEOPLE . you have yet to show them that you are with the changing times & able to adapt to something new . you are proving that you are too afraid to promote good music . you would rather let the monotonous drone of what is today's music remain unbalanced by substance . you would rather watch more legendary artists abandon you for direct deals with itunes & touring companies . you would rather allow the internet to defeat what should be your life's work . maybe you should excuse yourself from the next a&r meeting to go take a look in the bathroom mirror . stand there & ask yourself why you took this job , & when you realize it's simply because you wanted to be cool & "in the mix" then return to the conference room , take that gun out of your pocket , & shoot yourself in the head in front of your coworkers so that you are made an example of . if you can in fact leave that conference room & look in the bathroom mirror with pride & hunger to break the monotony then head back into that conference room , jump on top of the table & read this manifesto .

this is a challenge . 
we're calling your bluff . 
record labels are nothing but banks that give artists hi price loans in exchange for artistic control . put your money where your cocks are . go out on a limb & support real music for a change . find the line where the internet & the real world meet & infect more people with something magical . start building more legends . it's almost too late . interscope is dead . def jam is next . motown who ? mca what ? warner , you're not too far behind . the war sirens are ringing & you're content with playing deaf & dumb .
we're calling your bluff ! 
we're here to reprogram how you & the rest of the world listen to music . 
we can do this together , or you can stick to your own devices & peril in the process .
we are the people . we are the future . we are the present .
who are you ?   

*******************************************************************  

copy this , paste this , & repost it wherever you see fit . email it to those who you believe can benefit from somethin like this . this is from the heart in jerry maguire "who's comin with me?" fashion . lets open our eyes , our ears , & our hearts . lets stop standin for the bullshit & start demandin these idiots to take charge & make change . substance has the right to be heard . support real shit & start takin it to the streets !

  c'mon people . 
it's 2008 . diddy killed music in 94 . it's time for some better shit .

pass it on . . .

Clara Hill - That Easy

2008-01-08T10:42:00.001-08:00

If you looked at my most played artists on iTunes (right before the cpu crash) it wouldve looked something like: Pfunk, Madlib, Che Grand lol, and Clara Hill... Restless is still one of my fave albums! When I first heard it the tracks blew me away, its really that good ol' night time music! I was telling Neeze that it actually reminded me of some 2000'ish Lisa Stansfield, the production is so layered and sultry son, I wanna wear my stolen robe from the Waldorf to it...

Clara actually has a new project out called Folkwaves:Sideways which I need to cop asap....

She also has a '07 Xmas jam with my dude Benny Sings (who was recently added to the Sonar Kollective roster, big up Benny!) gotta hear that one too!

Ask and ye' shall receive.

2008-01-06T23:26:00.000-08:00

Come & Get It (Trackademicks Remix) - Yummy Bingham

yummy bingham - one more chance

2008-01-05T15:40:00.000-08:00

how the hell did my rnb lovin ass miss this song?!?!? especially seeing as how it has that hop to it that i fucking LOVE. like my steppers/go out mix that ive been building in my head for months now has to have this on it. thats why i have yet to make this mix cus im SURE i missed a million songs that got that hop to it.

Peven Everett - Easy Living (RMX)

2008-01-04T07:07:00.000-08:00

one of the MANY "Easy Living" remixes and probably my fave out the bunch, you HAVE to let this rock to the 4:16 switch up, shit is lovely... btw I dont really rock Peven for his singing but more because I heard he plays every instrument on his records and tru3-magics em with a sharpie to the local stores in the Chi by himself lol, gotta love the DIY status even if it is sloppy...

James Morrison - Undiscovered

2007-12-29T13:54:00.001-08:00

You Give Me Something

so when im in cincinnati aside from drinking i do ALOT of tv watching. aside from the city being kinda boring its the only real time i can catch up on my on demand shows and cable in general. i watch alot of vh1, runs house, videos you know normal shit and as you know sometimes the commercials get redundant cus they run the same ones alot. well i kept seeing THIS* spot ALOT and it the song in the background is absolutely mesmerizing. like i literally have been watching tv in anticipation of seeing it and catching the bridge to the song.

So after the 4th time of seeing the commercial i began to scour the net for whatever the fuck this song was and while i could barely find the commercial itself i did happen to stumble across the press release for the new campaign that listed, you guessed it, the information about the song playing in the commercial.

i dont know much about this guy at all yet. im literally typing this on my first listen thru is album (3 songs in and not dissappointed yet, actually VERY pleased) but i will be finding out more information asap. maybe i need a latepass for missing out on this but im here now and im very happy to be here.

*fox dont play no games fam, there are no embeddable versions of that commercial...

yes yes yall! we are back just in time to help you end your work week right and slingshot you into that xmas holiday. this week ilyas was in town for some reason or the other and we made him sit in on a show to let yall know that he is very much alive and breathing.

WWW.LESSONDARYRADIO.MYPODCAST.COM

Bullion

2007-12-18T08:01:00.000-08:00

click the image to get familiar

I been slowly but surely making the rounds to my lessondary folk and anybody within earshot to let them know about this guy. I dont know much of anything about him to be honest except that he lives in london. My knowledge spans as far as his myspace page but this project he put together named 'pet sounds in the key of d' was my formal introduction.

its basically him chopping up the beach boys pet sounds lp in the same fashion as dilla did donuts. sounds like a recipe for disaster right? i was all poised to hate on it as i do most shit but that shit bangs, front to back. i may post up the link if ppl request it that is. the original link is dead

this guy is pretty damn dope tho.

Dazed And Confused

2007-12-12T18:26:00.000-08:00

I've never really listened to Led Zeppelin, mainly because all the plagiarism accusations kinda turned me off to them. I know a bunch of their big songs, from Kashmir to Black Dog to Whole Lotta Love, and my favorite, Daze And Confused. But this week (without even knowing about the reunion concert in London) I started digging for Zeppelin albums. I got my hands on every studio album that they recorded and started reading up on them and came across what seems to be common knowledge .. Jimmy Page didn't write, but stole, Dazed And Confused.

While on tour with The Yardbirds, Jimmy Page saw Jake Holmes perform Dazed And Confused, which was released in June 1967 on Jake's The Above Ground Sound Of Jake Holmes (Tower Records). Soon after, Jimmy & The Yardbirds incorporated a reworked version of the song into their live show and it quickly became a staple of their show.

After The Yardbirds disbanded, Jimmy reworked the song for Led Zeppelin and the song became a huge part of their history. The problem was that Jake Holmes was never given any credit (or royalty checks) for writing Dazed And Confused. Holmes never filed a lawsuit against Page or Led Zeppelin but he did contact them about the lack of credit and royalties. Holmes never got a reply from Page or anyone else in the Zeppelin camp.

Just another story of how fucked up this business can be. Thank god the music is amazing ..

Kid A - Radiohead

2007-12-09T16:42:00.000-08:00

KID A (title track, not the full album)

one of my favorite groups of all time hands down. i dont play them repeatedly but every now and then i get this really REALLY strong hankering to hear some of their stuff. as of late it has been the song 'how to dissappear completely' from the album Kid A but in playing that song it just made me remember how fucking dope the whole lp is.

i dont know which one i like more between this and ok computer but today its leaning more towards kid a. i love the names of their songs too. if you dont have this album get it, please. and go get in rainbows. i havent really sat with in rainbows to be honest but its a cool album. ill play it when i get around to feeling like concentrating on it. its not about having an album as soon as it drops, its about having it when you want to pay it attention

youd be hard pressed to find a bigger loser

2007-12-07T09:57:00.001-08:00

NO PORNO SHIT

SNAKES IN THE GRASS

and if you think the album cover is bad give those 2 songs i linked a listen. i cant lie man i used to like the song he had with lil kim (hey wait a minute aint that brandi's brother?) and the one with pharrell rappin on it. i think they were on the same album. shit even one wish was kinda bad enough to like but this shit? jesus el christo...

nigga, on snakes in the grass he said "im lookin for a slut with a pretty little cunt so i can fuck, she let me fuck in her butt til i bust a nut" or some variant of the above.

talk about a train wreck

Johnson & Johnson - Powders and Oils

2007-12-06T19:46:00.000-08:00

two random joints from the lp:
look
wow!

last week everything on earth that was recorded leaked and overwhelmed the shit outta the world. one of the albums to leak was this join right here. its a group comprised of Blu and Mainframe if im not mistaken and the only question i have is what can Blu do wrong? i had a hard time figuring out what track to post up on the blog cus i mean they all pretty much go hard.

out of everybody doing music right now man this dude is the one who inspires me the most lyrically, and im not ashamed to say that at all. if you find this shit cop. dont ask questions, just cop and thank me later... for real.

VPND SHOW EPISODE 12!!!

2007-12-03T20:01:00.000-08:00

!!!ATTN!!!
THE RADIO SHOW HAS BEEN MOVED WWW.LESSONDARYRADIO.MYPODCAST.COM

damn its been a minute hasnt it? well not so much has changed on our end, okay thats not completely true. the big deal is that we have moved the podcast over to here i guess the biggest difference between the two is that i cant embed the show on the blog which kinda sucks right? eh, not so much in my opinion. its a much cleaner interface and from the podcaster standpoint i think its way more user friendly. but enough of all that...

this week special guest che grand stops by and drops off his new single 'SWING' from the upcoming EGU lp. he also sits as we talk about everything but music. basically just buggin out, man you know how we do lol... if you dont download/check it out HERE

again thats www.lessondaryradio.mypodcast.com people... LOCK IT IN!!

new and improved and coming soon...

2007-11-26T22:04:00.001-08:00

ZFTP Weekly Playlist

2007-10-25T07:42:00.000-07:00

btw the rules for this list are a bit
anti-zftp
maybe even slightly
pro-hero
but they're still rules...
you gotta cop em all and listen to em, maybe even in the order i have right here just to get that full effect....

on to the list of ish i'm rockin this week (straight off the Mf'n Cd's!!!)

~Jazzanova - "Ice" Sonar Kollective >>> a great way to usher in a *good* day... i woke up to this song this morning and the horn's told me today is going to be lovely... of course i looked out of the window and the weather said different.

~Parlet - "Huff-N-Puff" Casablanca >>> 3 really funky women + a big bad wolf + a cameo from bootsy as the boogeyman = my 2007 halloween theme song, huff-n-puff indeed.

~Ty feat Wumni and Dele Sosimi - "Sweating For Your Salary" Big Dada Recordings >>> as i type this somebody related to me, that i have never met, is in Nigeria trying not to go insane just like me, and they probably have more issues... dance that shit off. Ty is that dude by the by, cheers mate.

~Count Bass D - "Case O'Dilla" Fat Beats >>> if that's Dionne and Stevie mutilated the fuck up like I think it is, oh my, I think Dilla would have to say TURN IT UP!

~Steely Dan - "Doctor Wu" MCA >>> A euphamism for heroin or a Chinese immagrant that became a Doctor and Painter? In Fagen's case i'm thinking it might be the former although the latter might be his homeboy, who knows... I love trying to figure these songs out, ohh look what I just found http://www.steelydandictionary.com

~Mint Condition - "U Send Me Swingin'" Perspective Records >>> SWANGIN! there's a lot of text message worthy cupcakin booboo quotes in this. I didnt know these cats had platinum plaques (i kinda stopped paying full attention to rnb after I heard NWA)

~Cameo - "Attack Me With Your Love" Mercury? >>> Not sure about the name of the album this was one, killin my brain trying to remember, I only remember the album cover but I do know unlike the last joint this era is when I did really pay attention (no choice, thanks dad) i guess Blackmon is as much of an influence as Kane is to me...

~Heavy - "mylittesong" BBE >>> Bias aside go buy JazzMoney$$$ RIGHT NOW! Nicky i'm on my way to copp 2 at lunch time

or just download it here (probably better off downloading it then streaming it)

there it is...you know me, i aint telling yall what we played. listen!

peace

just cause ZFTP Radio is on indefinite hiatus...

2007-10-09T09:46:00.000-07:00

doesnt mean I still cant hip y'all to what's hip to me (right now anyway...)

here's just a few cuts on the current grizzy playlist (straight off the damn CD's too)
(im going against zimbabwe rules with providing info so feel free to find these gem's if you can or you can just ask me, i may rip the cd's theyre on)

~ G&D - "Time" Look Records >>> i've actually heard some not so good thing's about their album and I dont doubt it because I love G and cant stand D but this song is very undeniable... has a Loose Ends feel to it, and y'all know how I feel bout them

~ Talking Heads - "Girlfriend Is Better" Sire >>> big up to Filthy, I listen to this song at least once a day

~ The Politik - "She's Gone" Milan Records >>> this shit just knocks, type of joint I used to rock whipping the galant thru town on my extended lunch breaks right before getting written up

~ Parliament - "Funkentelechy" Casablanca >>> pfunk is a staple for me as most of you are realizing... nower days when I listen I tend to find the most miniscule part of the songs and make it my fave part, on this particular jam it's dr. funkenstein's adlib towards the end "whatshappenin'!"

~ Tiombe Lockhart - "The Overtaking" Bling 47 >>> without a shadow of a motherfuckin doubt Waajeed's HARDEST beat to date equipped with gutter guitar riffs, bomb explosions and what may be subtle whimperings of a female... dogs i'm thinking of robbing a grandmother at gun point to this shit

~ Spacek feat Common, Raphael Saadiq & Ledisi - "They Dont Know You" Sound In Color??? >>> good ol zone out music

~ Bobbi Humphrey - Uno Esta & New York Times Blue Note >>> these songs are in constant rotation for days i'm cleaning around the house

~ MED - What It Do Stones Throw >>> the drums on this record are infectious and i also discovered a good reason (other than the fact madlib does a majority of his production) to dig MED, the dude can really spit!

so there's a couple of songs im rockin right now, and of course i'd like to throw in Chris Brown feat T Pain's "Kiss Kiss" on that list but y'all wouldnt believe I was bumping that now would you... big up VA! lol

it just gets better every day huh?

well ive got a special treat for you guys... lessondary radio (the vpnd show at least) will take a turn towards vlogging. i'm still tumbling the idea around in my mind but you can expect video from me/us/them soon thanks to my new camera*

im playing around with the idea of vlogging other things (recording songs, shows, a day in the live, rollin wiht the homies (c) clueless) but i just have to figure it all out in my mind, at anyrate i plan to keep it provacative and interesting.

me and von are planning on recording episode 4 sometime in the next 48 hours so who knows i may run my experiment tonight. also say tuned for the bonus lessondary radio show: donnie simpson presents the quiet storm, all slow jams.

seacrest, out**

RIP MAX ROACH

2007-08-17T13:10:00.001-07:00

yall gotta pardon me for not being as up on the jazz greats as i should. ive heard my dad say the names and seen some of the records but with regards to knowing the music? nah... so when i heard the news that max roach passed i mourned momentarily as i do for all passing souls, they deserve the silence you know? and so do you we, take a minute to appreciate this thing we struggle thru and fully grasp its fragility.

so in doin my daily internet stroll i kept bumpin into youtube clips of max roach doin his thing and i feel like i missed out on some of the most innovative shit ever to touch drumsticks. seriously. i saw him play an entire set of drums in one clip. the skins, the stands, the casings and anything attached to the drums

i will be doing my homework soon.

it appears we are wearing this free account we have the fuck out. so unless we get some paypal donations or shell out a few bucks to up the bandwith we may have to really decrease the output. i dont wanna do less shows i mean we JUST got started but this is a good problem people, a good one. we need a sponsor to keep the lights on. interested? hit us up!

otherwise enjoy!

ps - those lil organe things are downloads btw...

Basic Black - Special Kinda Fool

2007-08-15T17:57:00.000-07:00

(between this entry and the one over here i can only imagine what yall thinking)

yall remember taping songs off the radio and really sitting by the pause button trying to get as much of the song as you could without gettin the gravely voiced nigga doin the dedications between songs? or better yet how about that compilation/mix tape that you made to set the mood for your preteen cherry popping session? i mean sure you been carryin that condom around in your wallet for a few months now but this tape was gonna set it off cus ReeRee seemin like she ready to go all the way. an this was the song you got the nerve to ask her to dance on so in planning the song sequence you put it right before the end of side one, leaving you a full 45 minutes to get busy on after the auto reverse kicked in, oh yeah you got it all planned out.

man i feel a donwill quiet storm podcast being born right now...

i want you (she's so heavy).

2007-08-15T08:39:00.000-07:00

written by john lennon (also credited to paul mccartney, although many say it was all lennon) and appearing on the beatles' "abbey road" - "i want you (she's so heavy)" has been covered by everyone from the bee gees, george benson, booker t & the mg's and sarah vaughan. being that i'm a huge fan of the funkmob, my favorite cover is from eddie hazel's "games, dames and guitar thangs". the beatles' version is rock heavy w/ gorgeous keys by billy preston. i'm not sure who plays on hazel's version but the brides of funkestein are on vocals.

check out both versions ..

the beatles - i want you (she's so heavy)
