I am on Team EZY

Lately I have been feeling like I have not been getting picked for the cool kids team, but after listening to Team EZY I feel like I belong to something. Not that I have anything with making of music but their beats are very friendly to the ear and makes one feel like they belong to the cool crowd.

Caspa Remix of Right Hand

I have been waiting for this track to come out since Caspa dropped it on his BBC mix. People have been bugging him when it was coming out but the days of waiting are over. It's like Christmas or Hanukkah has come early, thank you Fools Gold!

Rubix Rubix Rubix

I might have listened to this track on repeat for about an hour and than I found out there was an awesome video. Rubix is from Amsterdam, Netherlands where it seems all the good music is coming from.

New Kyprios Album

Kyprios from the MC collective Sweatshop Union has come out with another solo effort. It has been awhile since his last solo album, five years to be exact. I think it might have something to do with Sony signing him to a deal and not knowing how to market a hip hop Mc in Canada.

But his new anticipated album 12:12 is great from front to back, I really enjoyed the production of Moka Only and Rob the Viking . It would be great if Kyprios would take it back to early in the millennium and start another poetry night.

Shamik, Chris Derksen & Tedx

Cris Derksen & Shamik Live @ TEDx Vancouver from Shamik on Vimeo.

This past weekend I attended the first ever TEDx conference here in Vancouver, well Burnaby technically as it was at EA. But needless to say it was one of the most inspiring events I have attended in a long time. There was a lot of creative people who came together, shared and networked.

My favorite performance was Shamik and Chris Derksen but I will touch on that in a second. First I wanted to draw attention to Kevin Caroll who through the power of sport has changed lives around the world. The way this man tells a story captivates the room and has people hanging off his every word.

Second would have to be Neill Blomkamp , who at first we found out wasn't there I was really disappointed. But than I was blown away by his video he made especially for the event about ET's. It was informative and gave me insight to many different theories of our great Universe.

Last but not least is Shamik & Derksen, I wasn't prepared for the collaboration of these two different musicians. But what ensued was an amazing marriage of sounds that pleased everyone in the room out of their seats into a standing ovation.

Tedx & Shamik

Shamik is only one of the amazing people part of the Tedx conference this weekend that I amazingly got a ticket to. I feel like Charlie and I got the golden ticket!

Keys N krates Mix Tape

Comprised of an award-winning DJ, Jr Flo, Matisse on keys and Adam Tune on drums, Keys N Krates rocked our world last year when they played the Taste Crew/URB Holiday party in NYC. One year later, and these guys from Toronto are taking their show across the U.S., including two SoCal dates this weekend. (URB)

I saw Jr Flo ten years ago kill it playing hip hop and drum n bass when I lived in Ottawa. Now with the live instruments brought into what seems to be a 30 minute explosion of nothing you have ever seen. These guys kill it on a whole other level, which I got to experience last year in Winnipeg. My good friend Ofield from Grand Analog opened up for them and if wasn't for him I probably wouldn't have been able to experience their live show. The only thing is that when it ends you wish it wasn't so short.

Rusko & Kid Sister

The last time Rusko remixed Kid Sister's track it was for Pro Nails and it was one of the best tracks I heard in a long time. This time around I feel Rusko has left his Dubstep roots behind and has gone a little more on the safe tip. Kid Sister's new album just came out last week with a lot of great collaborations, its just too bad this one didn't work this time.

Wu-Tang Dubstep Album

For Immediate Release
Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture Vol. 2: Enter The Dubstep…


Frank Radio and iHipHop Distribution are proud to announce the highly anticipated follow-up to 2005’s “Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture Vol. 1″
On November 10th, the newest and freshest sounds in underground electronic music encounter the grimiest and most hardcore hip-hop click in this one-of-a-kind album: “Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture Vol. 2: Enter The Dubstep.”


As Vol. 1 sought to introduce hip-hop fans in general, and specifically, the famously large, loyal and diverse fan-base of the Wu-Tang to the burgeoning world of underground hip-hop, so Vol. 2 seeks to expose another untapped resource of underground talent, skill and artistry to this very same avid and intrepid fan-base.


The project serves a double purpose as well: many of the pioneers and practitioners (DJ’s and producers) in the Dubstep world came up in a time when Wu-Tang ruled the international airwaves. Unlike much commercial hip-hop, the immediacy of Wu-Tang’s sound spoke to many outside of the scope of the typical hip-hop fan, across oceans and at home. Their music and style helped to shape an emerging artform that hadn’t yet defined itself. Now, in 2009, as dubstep continues to grow, expand and encompass more styles and subgenres, the Wu-Tang sound is reintroduced into the mix, to spawn a new and unique musical crossbreeding, that is greater than the sum of its constituent parts.

Copyleft vs. Copyright

Recently I wrote my minister of Industry about the issue of Canadian Copyright laws. This is an important issue for everyone involved, I feel like we cannot get roped into the same thing that happened in the U.S.A.

But with huge industry lobbyist's from the U.S , does our Government even stand a chance?! I don't think so, not getting e-mail's like this back:


Thank you for your e-mail regarding copyright. I appreciate being advised
of your views and have noted your comments.

Like you, many people are concerned with copyright and its implications in
our increasingly digital environment. The Government of Canada believes
that Canadians themselves must be able to contribute if future legislation
is to be a true reflection of Canada’s interests. For this reason, the
Honourable James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage, and I have recently
concluded nationwide consultations to solicit Canadians’ opinions on the
important issue of copyright.

The consultations took place from July 20 to September 13, 2009, and were
a step forward in fulfilling the government’s commitment to ensure a
modern and responsive legislative framework. Our goal was to give
Canadians from across the country a chance to express their views on how
the government should approach the modernization of copyright laws.
Through these consultations, we have heard the views of a wide range of
individuals and organizations. More information about these
consultations, including access to transcripts of the roundtable and town
hall discussions and to the submissions of participants, can be found at
the Copyright Consultations website at www.copyrightconsultation.ca.

At this time, we are taking stock of the submissions made by Canadians and
the discussions that took place during the consultation period. With
these in mind, the federal government will draft and table new
legislation. Although the consultations have concluded, rest assured that
your comments will be given due consideration as we move forward with
copyright modernization.

Once again, thank you for writing and please accept my best wishes.

Yours sincerely,



Tony Clement

Getting Crunk Wit It

If a robot could drink juice it would be Lil Jon's crunk juice, the stuff is pure sugar. The thing I don't get is that all these energy drinks come out and they are sugar free. How for the love all that is holy is something that tastes so sugary sugar free.

Chris Lander's Book Report on C-Murder's Death Around the Corner

Christian Lander from Stuff White People Like fame has wrote a book report on C-Murder's book Death Around the Corner. I think it's one of the best book reports I have read since ... forever.

Narrative voice and post-modernism in C-Murder's Death Around the Corner

Death Around the Corner is to the modern American writer what 100 Years of Solititude is to South American History. It is an allegory of epic proportions that captures the pain, triumph, and inner battles faced by all writers in this post-modern generation.

Many would assume that to understand this novel requires an understanding of the author and where he was when he wrote it. C-Murder playfully provides an Author's Note attempting to explain why he wrote the book. “I was behind bars facing a life sentence, so I didn't know what the future held. But I knew one thing: I had to get on my grind.” (p. 267). To an untrained reader, this seems like a straight forward explanation of his motives behind writing the tome. However, if we investigate only slightly deeper into the structure of the sentences and the historical precedent for what he's saying, we get a much different message.

When C-Murder talks about not knowing what the future holds, he's not talking about his own life. As an author, he already knows his position in the act of reading. Drawing heavily from Eco's work “The Role of the Reader,” C-Murder recognizes that this is own future is limited by time and his eventual death (a constant theme throughout the novel). The future he is referring to is the future of literature, and the uncertainty it faces in this era of post-(post?)-Modernism. He knows that his work as an author has no guarantee of intellectual importance, but by “getting his grind on,” he's able to sate his own needs of expression and the universal literary desire to be seen as part of the canon.

C-Murder takes Eco's hypothesis further by making it perfectly clear that his role as the author is sublimated into the role of the text. That is to say his intent for the novel is to ascribe the human frailty to the novel itself. “Death is so close—right around the corner. Everybody can relate to it, from my hood to your hood.” It is essential that we do not let that key statement simply roll past us. When he says “from my hood to your hood,” he is not talking about neighborhoods, he's talking about disciplines. Be you in located in Comp Lit, Colonial Lit, Victorian Lit, Cultural Theory, French Cultural Theory, Film, or even Creative Writing, we all face death in our cultural works and we cannot be protected by our disciplines. C-Murder is saying we must put ourself out there, on the street corner of academia and expose our frailty.

This of course, carries throughout the novel with the character of Duquan, who is very thinly veiled as a writer. Though the book has him as a street savvy hustler who sells drugs, becomes a rapper, and kills a handful of people. It doesn't take a Slavoj Zizek to see through the symbolism and recognizeing that he's describing the life of a writer.

C-Murder starts the novel with the line: “Macy! Macy! Can we go to the fair?” in reference to the 1984 World's Fair in New Orleans. In this opening statement, C-Murder has already set the tone that his novel will be a delicate tracing of the post modern writer. The World's Fair is a perfect allegory for the rise of Modernism and descent into Post-Modernism and the inherent sadness of recognizing the need to participate in a movement that has long since passed.

In the lead character of Duquan, C-Murder has created an everyman writer who stands in for us all. Immediately his life begins with a heroin addicted mother and a hard working father who eventually kills his wife's lover. This is, of course, an obvious reference to William S. Burrough's life as a heroin addicted writer who shot and killed his wife in Mexico. Soon Duquan is left alone as his mother dies of an overdose, raised by his grandmother “Mama.” His literary heroes have left him alone, he has no more interaction, only memories, and stories that he can pull from Mama. The grandmother of course is serving as a personification of the library – a repository of knowledge, stories, and love.

It is worth examining the tortured relationship between DuQuan and Mama. She beats him at times, gives him advice which he rejects, and eventually has to kick him out of the house because of his drug dealing ways. All of these scenarios are easily mapped on the experience of the modern writer, being beaten by self doubt, hearing and ignore the advice of previous authors, and finally being kicked out of the ivory tower for not conforming to their rules.

As Duquan ages he gets more and more into the drug game (the role of drugs in this novel will be discussed in a later chapter), he eventually gets caught and sent away to a youth prison. Working with the themes of the novels, C-Murder actually constructs the prison as a univeristy – equal parts learning and oppression.

“Looking at the compound for the first time, Daquan couldn't help the eerie feeling that his life, from this day on, would never be the same. He could tell everyone on the bus felt the same way...Once those gates closed they wouldn't open until each boy's sentence was over. Whatever happened while they were inside those gates, they would just have to deal with.” (p.44)

As if this “first day of school” description were not enough, C-Murder goes on to call the place “SCOTLAND” - a not so subtle reference to the ivory tower of academia and the need to study British authors in a university setting.¹

But C-Murder goes even further to make sure that his prison as college allegory is made clear. He actually inserts a C. Miller (Murder's real name) into the prison to help guide and offer advice to young DuQuan.

“My brother out in Cali got a record sto',” Cee told him. “There's where I'm goin' in a few weeks. He 'bout to put it down in rap fo' the N.O.,” Cee announced proudly.”

Cee is telling DuQuan and the reader that hip hop can be used to supplement life, to make it better, longer, more fruitful, and more passionate. In the novel, the quest to stay alive is matched by the author's quest to stay relevant. Rap is always seen as a secondary goal and a secondary commodity that merely improves life but cannot guarantee success or sustainability. Put simply, hip-hop is poetry and C. Murder is trying to show authors of prose fiction the importance of understanding and succeeding at writing poetry. C. Miller's invitation to come to California strongly evokes images of the writer communes of the 1960s that helped nurture Keysey, Ginsburg, and even Miller's obvious idol: Burroughs.

But a study of this novel would be complete without an investigation into the role of women in the life of Duquan. Though very easy to dismiss a sexist, C. Murder is actually positioning women in this story as publications. To sleep with one is to conquer them, to succeed, to get published. Duquan's first experience mimics that of a young writer finding success and not being prepared.

“Every muscle in his body seemed to melt into her softness, expect for his dick, which stayed rock-hard. It felt so good, he was frozen.”

“Well?” Mandi huffed. “Hump....shit, do somethin'!”

Though barely making his way through the experience, Duquan was not ready as a writer. He made an effort but ulimtately his success was in trying. As the novel moves on, he gets another shot with Mandi, and this time he is prepared. Much as an author is presented with another chance to submit to an editor.

“He could feel her body jerking, so he grabbed her ass, grinding deeper until they both came and she leaned down and covered his face with kisses.”

Duquan has matured into a writer, he can now call his own shots and write to his passions.

The novel is an essential and complex addition to any study of the modern plight of an american novelist. The quest for relevance, success, and knowledge binds us all and keeps us all striving for a textual ideal that may never be reached.

Ooah is Of Porcelain

I just got the new Of Porcelain who is Josh Mayer or Ooah from The Glitch Mob . It is very down tempo compared to his Pantyraid or Glitch Mob bassy glitch hop. I like it at work right now because it calms me from the tyranny of being apart of a corporate whoring structure. Check it out and pay what you can.

No Rusko WTF

So Rusko didn't play last night and I am guessing from his twitter that he didn't get into the country. He also said that "fuck Canada" in his twitter which I am guessing that most people got upset about. But as I really don't like the Canadian airports either I can relate, I really just wanted to meet him and give him some Married With Children DVD's.

The Tao of Wu

I usually don't post about books as this is mainly a music blog. It's not that I don't read, I just finished reading C-Murder's book Death Around The Corner which was very inspirational as most of his music was not. I am going to pick up RZA's new book the Tao of Wu just based on this quote : If you live through defeat, you’re not defeated. If you are beaten but acquire wisdom, you have won.

Syndication: 50 Cent Talks About Kanye West's Canceled "Gay Tour"

R.I.P. Mr. Magic - One of The Great Radio Pioneers

Mr. Magic, an important figure in the world of hip-hop radio, debuted in 1983 on WBLS-FM in New York City with the first exclusive rap radio show to be aired on a major station. Billing itself as Rap Attack, Magic's show featured Marley Marl as the DJ and Tyrone "Fly Ty" Williams as the show's co-producer. Magic's reign on the New york City airwaves lasted six years and was instrumental in broadening the scope and validity of hip-hop music.^[1]

During the mid-80s there was a rivalry between Mr. Magic and Kool DJ Red Alert, who hosted a weekly show on WRKS-FM. The feud also played out between proxy rap groups, the Juice Crew and Boogie Down Productions (see The Bridge Wars). The Juice Crew - headed by Mr. Magic's on-air assistant, DJ Marley Marl - was named after one of Magic's aliases, "Sir Juice."^[2]

As confirmed by DJ Premier, Mr. Magic died on the morning of October 2, 2009, due to a fatal heart attack

The Slew & My New Earplugs

I am going to start off by saying that the venue change last minute at first pissed me off, but when I got to the Red Room it made sense. What would you rather have, not that many in a large venue or a packed small venue.....

The Slew blew the minds of all that was attendance, it was a mixed crowd of rockers and party kids. At first the people where not sure whether to dance or mosh and all it took was one young cute punk rock girl to bowl into the crowd to get everyone mosh/dancing. With the Dj/Rock combo they even did an encore at the end. My only complaint would be that the set was only an hour long but an hour of extreme rock dancing.

I tested out my new earplugs which let me hear the show perfectly and I could still hear my friend talking beside me, they even come in a cool carrying case! (Oh and I have the Purple ones)

New Chromeo

I remember seeing Chromeo five years ago in Vancouver in the now closed down Brickyard. I think there was maybe 80 people there and one the best shows I have ever seen. Take me to last year there was about 1000 people in the Commodore, still a great show and amazing to see how many people have noticed them. There new single is on fire and their new album out soon is filled with disco heat.

A huge big up to the boys of Grand Analog for winning the Western Canadian Hip Hop Recording of the Year. Maybe next year a Canadian television station could broadcast it so that people could watch.

Dizzee Rascal & Tiesto I still Can't Belive It's Good

Dizzee Rascal 's new album Tongue in Cheek is out and there is more guest appearances than a Sasha Grey film. There is one match up that I was not sure how it would work out and that was with Tiesto. But after listening to it either I was wrong about Trance and Tiesto or maybe Tiesto just needs to stop making Trance, I am going with the later. Go and pick up the album because it is one of the best I have heard in a minute. (Buy Album Here)

RIP Roc Raida

(Filming By Mykro Douglas)

A statement released by Raida's family over the weekend reads: "Anthony Williams [professionally known] to the world as the Legendary Grand Master Roc Raida has passed away unexpectedly today, September 19, 2009. He is survived by his wife, three lovely daughters, mother and friends. Raida was recently in a mixed-martial-arts accident, something that he has been practicing for several years. Although he had undergone two surgeries with great success, was released to an inpatient physical therapy facility and was in great spirits the past few days, this morning he started to have complications and passed. The family asks for privacy at this time."

Busta Rhymes wrote a series of messages about Raida on his Twitter Page.

Went to see KJ Sawka at the Woods on Friday and I was blown away by his live drumming of jungle and drum n bass. I have seen this attempted before but never successfully, I stood right beside the drum kit just to see the spectacle for myself. Note to self - make sure you have earplugs when standing beside a drum kit.

Kid Logic is on Extranormous Records which is a free site, so thank them cause you will not stop listening to his tracks.

Ya 80's

Toronto

Toronto Bands, Times Neue Roman and Tonka Puma have been making songs together for the past few weeks. Yesterday we recorded "TORONTO, " a song inspired by pool-hopping, humid thunderstorms, house parties and the garbage strike. We thought we'd share the in-progress demo with you Ontario kids. Summertime, Toronto.
