Bass 91.7

So I'm about to step out and get some wings, when I get drop kicked by my reader. It seems TSS has gone and served us up with some 2 Live Shots.

I'm from Miami. I'm all about 2 Live. I grew up on it.

Do yourself a favor, go over there and download all that shit.

You're welcome. Wings, I'm out.

Hurricanes + DNB Classics Night ft Dara, A-Sides + More

Even though Tropical Storm Fay was essentially a non-event for South Florida, work has been keeping me busy because of it and the storm keeps lingering over the state. All it takes is one time for you to slip on preparation, have a hurricane pull a funny track on you, and before you know it you're in the middle of a recovery and restoration mission. Experience something along the lines of Andrew or Katrina, and you know better.

No fun, but nonetheless, that's been my mission since Monday, and we're in the thick of the season right now. Say hello to Invest 94 and Invest 95 -- the orange and shaded circles.

Since we're on the topic of South Florida, I cordially invite you to get down with us at the World Famous Laundry Bar, as we get our classics on. I've been throwing around tunes in my head on this for days.

Video // Supernatural & DJ Scratch @ Rock The Bells 2008 - Miami

Supernatural and DJ Scratch doing some ill shit. Arguably one of the best performances of the entire festival, in my opinion. From the aspect of creative flow, live appeal, and getting the audience reaction they did given the time they performed -- these guys killed it, hard.

Supernatural was freestyling off whatever was being thrown on stage and DJ Scratch was constructing beats on the fly based on mere beat-boxing. Impressive on the flow, and on the beat improvisation. Suparnat even came down to the crowd afterwards and chilled. Nice cat.

For a second I thought I was listening to Rahzel at first, yeah, alright. The name is DJ Scratch, recognize me.

My bad.

Audio is aight here. I got Pharcyde videos but the audio is shit. I can share them but the audio is shit. You can thank the skull-shaking, teeth-rattling, sinus-clearing, ear drum violating subs at the base of the stage for that.

Word to ear-plugs.

Video // De La Soul @ Rock The Bells 2008 - Miami

De La Soul performing Supa Emcees over the Livin' Proof instrumental.

Did I mention that Pos is a ferocious live emcee? Yeah, he is.

Video // Dres of Black Sheep @ Rock The Bells 2008 - Miami

It's funny because I had seen him back-stage and didn't think much else beyond "oh shit, it's Dres."

Alright. Next thing you know, cat jumps on stage during De La's set.

So De La do their thing and then Dres destroys the place with The Choice Is Yours.

The digicam has a size limitation, so the first clip is short so I could capture the entire thing on the second one. The first clip show Dres and Pos making everyone get down low, as is in the video.

Video // Raekwon & Ghostface Killah @ Rock The Bells 2008 - Miami

Rae & Ghost performing Can It Be All So Simple and Mobb Deep's Eye For An Eye (Your Beef Is Mines).

You might be able to see Ghost's kid off to the right. Look for the mini-Ghost.

Those subs were skull-rattling. You could go even 4-5 rows back, and your eyeballs were still vibrating in your head. Interesting sensation. Word to ear-plugs.

Video // Wale Freestyle @ Rock The Bells 2008 - Miami

Let's just go ahead and get this started. I got plenty to go through.

Here's a little Wale acapella freestyle. He went on early in the afternoon when it was still damn hot anywhere you went -- shade or not. Being the first time I see him live, I was impressed by homie's performance and stage presence.

More to come. Exclusive.

Peace to Contagious Musiq

2 Live Crew // Catalog Sold & New Album Coming

Call it a guilty pleasure, call it a lyrically explicit reminder of home. Evergreen Copyrights has snatched up the 700 song catalog previously owned by Lil' Joe Records, which not only includes the extensive 2LC catalog, but Poison Clan and 69 Boyz as well. Expect more 2LC et al on television and film, as well as their Just Wanna Be Heard LP in 2009 on Lil' Joe/Focus.
