SLEPT ON MONDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!

"Slept on Mondays" is here baby!!!!

Every Monday I'm gonna post.....go on guess...Yep... that's right...Slept on joints.....Artists that were just one hit wonders, had one smash then disappeared into hip hops wasteland.

Below is a great example..DEATH CAMP FEAT KRS1 - SLEEP ALL DAY.

Death camp were a bunch of Mcs i cant tell you anything about , apart from the fact that they were down wit Krs 1. Produced by Krs1 this record was promo only and never saw the light of day, but was raw dirty hip hop at its best.

This promo started doing the rounds in the summer of 95... The producer Mark B was the first person who played me this and within 10 seconds i handed him a tenner and the promo was mine. Mark used to get loads of promos back in the day, and if i was ever doing a new mix tape id always see what he had...

So what other gems should i post....pls let me know.....

I'm thinking E-rule-listen up for next Monday...holla

BANKSY PAINTS IN NEW ORLEANS...

Being an old skool writer I'm interested in Banky's work. Some people say he's an over rated failed graff writer....others a genius..

What ever you think about this dude you have to respect the fact that he's pimped the art world to the fullest. A-list Hollywood celebs like Brad and Angelina now buy his work for £250,000, and homeboys laughing all the way to the bank..

Here's some of his latest work done a few days ago in the ghost town that is New Orleans...Let me know what you think!!!

KRS ONE MEETS SOULJA BOY....

An interesting meeting between the old and the new...worth watching...peep it

MORE FROM THE MK TAPE VAULTS- THE WILD BUNCH LIVE @ THE TROPIC CLUB 1984

The Wild Bunch were a sound system outfit based in the St Pauls district of Bristol, England from 1983 to 1986. The group was renowned for spinning sets that drew large crowds on the club scene, and had performed shows as far away as London.

They Performed Soundclashes against other Bristol Sound Systems, The Wild Bunch's sound incorporated a wide and disparate variety of musical styles, an unusual thing at the time. Their shows included elements of punk, R&B, and reggae, with a focus on slower rhythms and ambient electronic atmospheres that would become a cornerstone of the Bristol sound, Daddy g, 3d, tricky and super producer nellee hooper made up the crew... this is them live at the Tropic club 1984........If you love your 80's soul classics this is a must...........DOWNLOAD

KANYE WEST-JAY Z-TI-LIL WAYNE-SWAGGER LIKE US

Kanye killed it with the beat... cleaverly using M.I.A's vocal sample from "Paper Planes" but also killed his verse (in a BAD way) using Akons/Chers voice box....WHY KANYE!!! His verse would of been fine but he made it sound PAINFUL. I got a feeling this is gonna be one of those tracks that where u either love it or hate it.....peep it here at Kanyes blog and let me know if you love it or hate it.....

VERB THE ONE TO WATCH....

Last month i posted the Verb - Arron Lacrate AOL session.

DAME DASH IN FINANCIAL TROUBLE??????

From the New York Post:

Eastern Savings Bank has filed suit against entrepreneur Damon Dash, charging the Roc-a-Fella Records co-founder hasn't made a payment on his $78,504.20-a-month mortgage since January.

"YOU ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING YOUR HOME," reads the foreclosure action against Dash and wife Rachel Roy.

The $7.3 million mortgage was actually taken on two TriBeCa properties the couple owns, at 25 N. Moore St. and at 79 Laight St.

A rep for Dash did not return a call and e-mail for comment. The clothing big has been besieged by debtors in the past year, despite having an estimated $50 million fortune.

The Post reported last year that he owed the city $2 million in back taxes, and the mortgage suit says he has $100,000 in federal tax liens against his properties.

WESTWOOD N-SIGN RADIO 1988

When i was growing up in sunny NW london in the late 80's there was only a few areas in london that had cable, so watching yo mtv raps wasnt happening.
There were shows like "behind the beat" which would show some hip hop videos but in general you wernt seeing ANY new hip hop videos on TV. Westwood used to do a TV show called n-sign radio where he would show all the dope brand new hip hop videos of the time. THis is classic material as well as being very funny.....WATCH HERE and leave a comment!!

DJ MK IN AMSTERDAM

Last few days ive been over here in Amsterdam.
Id say Amsterdam has to be one of my favorite cities in europe alongside Barcelona, and not for the reasons you'd think.

Dam is one of the most chilled places in the world, and is great because you can walk around everywhere. If you come out here make sure you DONT just hang out in coffee shops and the red light, there so much more to do and see, and they got some of the best clubs/live venues in the world...

Big shout to my peoples, Patrick and Eva,Samira,Sammy,jerome,Edson and everyone else out here who show me love.Check out the pix from the last few days.....

DJ MK AND ROOTS MANUVA SESSION @ MAIDA VALE FOR RADIO 1

Last weekend, Roots Manuva, myself, Ricky ranking, and wagga wagga, spent a pleasant Sunday afternoon doing a session for radio 1 at the Maida vale studios.
This was the forth time for us doing one of these sessions for Auntie and its always mad kool. The maida vale studios used to be a skating rink which was then bombed in the war. After the war the BBC bought it when you go there it does look like nothing has changed there in the last 20 years.

Every atrist in the world from the stones to the Beatles to bob Marley have recorded in this studio and you kinda feel a good vibe every time you go there. We recorded 4 exclusive versions of tracks off the new Roots manuva album.

Here's a live version of"Let the spirit move you" which is my favorite cut off the Slime and Reason LP. HERE

M.I.A GETS ACCUSED OF BEING A TERRORIST???????

According to EURweb, Sri Lankan/American artist DeLon is making serious allegations against fellow Sri Lankan rapper M.I.A.

DeLon has claimed that M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes" video includes imagery from terrorist group The Liberation Tiger Tamils of Eelam (LTTE), a group that is considered to be one of the most dangerous terrorist groups by the FBI.

DeLon even posted a remix of "Paper Planes" on YouTube; the remix featured evidence of M.I.A.'s use of images and symbols from the LTTE, but was later taken down by Universal Music Group because of the possible damage it could bring to M.I.A.'s reputation.

As a result of the video being taken down by Universal Music Group, DeLon plans on suing Universal for infringement against his rights to freedom of speech.

M.I.A. recently fired back at DeLon with this statement, "I don't support terrorism and never have. As a Sri Lankan that fled war and bombings, my music is the voice of the civilian refugee. Frankly, I am not trying to start dialogue with someone who is really just seeking self-promotion."
