INI KAMOZE - WORLD-A-MUSIC

2011-05-12T11:14:00.000-07:00

Ini Kamoze might be better known for his 1995 hit "Here Comes The Hot Stepper", but you will also recognize this song if you've ever heard Damian Marley's "Welcome To Jamrock".

P.S. it's merther, not murder. Merther is the feeling one experiences while listening to dub and smoking weed. Listen to the song's lyrics. "Out in the streets, they call it merther when riddim spacing out your head...". The lyrics to the song are on the back of the album.

World a reggae music on yah-eh
Keep me rocking with me daughter-eh-a
World a reggae music on yah-eh
Never lef' ya, never no sah-eh-a

Now just be nice and hold your space
I won't entertain no more disgrace
Out in the street the call it merther
when rhythm spacing out your head

World a reggae music on yah-eh
Keep me rocking with me daughter-eh-a
World a reggae music on yah-eh
Never lef' ya, never no sah-eh-a

Man showing how man feeling
Man singing goodness gracious I
Then thousand rydims peeling
It makes the spider kiss the fly

World a reggae music on yah-eh
Keep me rocking with me daughter-eh-a
World a reggae music on yah-eh
Lord I thirsty, give me water-eh-a

World a reggae music on yah-eh
Keep me rocking with me daughter-eh-a
World a reggae music on yah-eh
Never lef' ya, never no sah-eh-a

GRAND FUNK

2010-11-16T21:24:00.000-08:00

There is no better Rock band than Grand Funk. None. 'Got This Thing On The Move' is my favorite song in the universe. 'Inside Looking Out' is a fucking awesome song as well (and it was also sampled for KRS ONE's 'Sound Of Da Police' at 3:33). I can't say enough about how much I love their sound.

Grand Funk - Got This Thing On The Move

Grand Funk - Inside Looking Out

KRS-ONE - Sound Of Da Police

Third LP has the sample for Masta Ace's 'Music Man'. This Gatefold is what I stare at when I listen to anything by them. They some BAMF's.

My favorite 2 songs by the Los Angeles based MC, Medusa. These are off her first EP, Do It The Way You Feel. When I got this I had no idea who she was or anything.

JUSTIN HINDS & THE DOMINOES - SAVE A BREAD

2010-06-28T21:23:00.000-07:00

I wish I had this version of Justin Hines & The Dominoes "Save A Bread" on a 45, but all I have it on is this comp, The Rock Steady Years 66-68. Everything on this compilation is great, but "Save A Bread" is my favorite. I have the later version that was released on his LP "Jezebel" as "What You Don't Know", but this early version is killer.

Justin Hines & The Dominoes - Save A Bread

JACKIE MITTO - WALL STREET

2010-06-28T20:30:00.000-07:00

Michael Prophet's Love & Unity is one of my favorite songs ever. It was Mixed by Scientist and The Roots Radics is the backing band.

If you don't know about the 1971 LP on Musicor Records from S.O.U.L. entitled What Is It, you're not as up on thangs as you thought you were. S.O.U.L. is one of the funkiest bands ever with Paul Stubblefield on drums, Walter Winston on guitar, Gus Hawkins on bass & Lee Lovett on vocals and flute. #drumbreaks #heavyfunk

S.O.U.L. - S.O.U.L.

It was a project that gathered together the incarcerated "lifers" to discourage those who still had their freedom from living the gangsta rap lifestyle. The nightmare vision of prison life was revealed in gory detail on tracks like "Real Deal" & the set was recorded 3 months after the Disney-funded Hollywood Basic Records had heard of the scheme.
