One for the late night crew
"So keep abreast to the GangStarr conquest
Underground ruffnecks pounds of respect
I've never been afraid to let loose my speech
My brothers know I kick the code of the streets"
DEEP-did a sunday in the Torch, now Fionnbarras, in about 97, spinning jazz and soul like this-i'll have my Guru tribute up tomorrow!

One for the late night crew-Gang Starr
One for the late night crew
I'm digging deep in the crates for Guru and have about 100 vinyl records in front of me as i prepare a 3 hour special on Saturday-quite simply, I admit i would not be spinning records without Gang Starr, who helped elevate hip-hop to a level on a par with the greatest jazz and soul. Rest in Peace
"Ill be taking care of business regardless
And when it comes to rhyming you know Im hitting hardest
So you can kick dirt but in the end you'll feel pain
You little sucker, there aint no shame in my game"

One of the best yet
No doubt about it Gang Starr were one of the greatest and until recent years he had some great solo stuff too. Simply one of the all time best MC's, I had the pleasure of hosting him at our Jam night in 2001 and hanging out with him for the day too; he was a nice guy and down to earth compared to many of the big name rappers i've met. It's a sad day for hip-hop but i'll be paying homage at Jam on Friday at the Pavilion and on Black on Red on Saturday on Cork's RedFM

Talking all that Jazz! Hip-hop jazz at it's finest parts 4, 5, 6
"it was music.. great to dance to
Great to romance to with a lot to say to you
Relaying a message, revealing the essence
of a jazz thing"
"hip-hop gains a classic"
"Yo i be getting lit listening to sun ra"

One for the late night crew, tune of the day and rap lyric of the day!
All in one
an all time fav!
"Relationships can grip with the pain
Arguments in the crib, in the streets, on the train
I’m crazy fed but then still
When she ain’t there I feel sad, I feel ill"
and the groove (another soul classic)
and Ed OG

One for the late night crew! Jeru!
one for the late night crew! I posted the Ahmad Jamal original recently, here is a classic from Jeru that sampled it-saw him support Gang Starr in Dublin in 1994 and shit nearly kicked off at the gig, which was amazing! He kinda fell off for a time but left us with two classic albums; not a bad return

A couple for the breakdancers ahead of our party this Friday at Jam at the Pavilion
Featuring the Rhythm Rebels amongst others live on stage after Doubletime only a fiver in!
Mc Lyte and many more tore this groove up; another one of their many great influences.
Oh yes, the original and still the best Juan Atkins was one of the Godfathers
I Know i posted this before but the original is one of my favourite 12"s and perfect for Jam!
DJ Globe and the WhizzKids classic covered on a rare 12" from Gang Starr that is in my possession "Real DJ's know how to rock the show"
I love house and i love where it collides with breaks this is never gonna get tired!
