Happy B-Day Mykro

The Mykro Douglas is celebrating his b-day today so I though it would be fitting to dedicate this track to to him.

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.

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
