PARALLEL MIXED CD - Volume 9 - The Throw Down (2010)
December 12, 2010 02:58 PM PST
A blend of hip-hop from Fall 2010. RUN TIME: 1:06:07 1) I'm On It - J. Cole
September 20, 2009 06:44 PM PDT
This is volume 1 of my Legends Of The Game mixed CD series. It includes all of their mainstream hits from the 90's along with some B-side underground bangers. A Tribe Called Quest is an American hip hop group, formed in 1985. The group is composed of rapper/producer Q-Tip (Kamaal Ibn John Fareed, formerly Jonathan Davis), rapper Phife Dawg (Malik Taylor), and DJ/producer Ali Shaheed Muhammad. A fourth member, rapper Jarobi White, left the group after their first album but appears to have rejoined the group since 2006. Along with De La Soul, the group was a central part of the Native Tongues Posse, and enjoyed the most commercial success out of all the groups to emerge from that collective. Their innovative fusing of hip hop and jazz has had a lasting impact on hip hop music, helping to expand the art of hip hop production. Many of their songs, such as "Bonita Applebum", "Can I Kick It?", "I Left My Wallet in El Segundo", "Scenario", "Check the Rhime", "Jazz (We've Got)", "Award Tour", and "Electric Relaxation" are regarded as classics of the genre. They released five albums in ten years, the first three of which were very highly acclaimed, and disbanded in 1998. In 2006, the group reunited and toured the U.S. and plan to release an album after some works in the studio. The group is regarded as iconic pioneers of alternative hip hop music, having helped to pave the way for innovative hip-hop artists.

This is volume 2 of my Legends Of The Game mixed CD series paying homage to a legend that has been doing it from the mid 80's. It includes tracks from the 80's, 90's, and the 2000's. James Todd Smith (born January 14, 1968), better known as LL Cool J (acronym for Ladies Love Cool James) is an American rapper and actor. He is known for romantic ballads such as "I Need Love", "Around the Way Girl" and "Hey Lover" as well as pioneering hip-hop such as "I Can't Live Without My Radio", "I'm Bad", "The Boomin' System", and "Mama Said Knock You Out". He has released twelve studio albums and two greatest hits compilations, with his final album being 2008's Exit 13, the last for his record deal with Def Jam Recordings. He has also appeared in numerous films, and currently stars as NCIS Special Agent Sam Hanna on the CBS crime drama television series NCIS: Los Angeles. He now lives in Manhasset, New York, with his wife and four children. RUN TIME: 1:19:15 1) Going Back To Cali

This mix was originally created in 1997 upon Biggie's premature death. As the original tribute to his music, I decided to not redo this mix. No Serato or DJ controllers here!! This is a straight vinyl mix with the record pops in the background. Even the voiceover is old skool. It's now going to find it's home under The Legends Of The Game volumes. The Notorious B.I.G. Christopher George Latore Wallace (May 21, 1972 – March 9, 1997), popularly known as Biggie Smalls (after a fictional gangster in the 1975 film Let's Do It Again), "The Black Frank White" (based on a fictional drug baron from the 1990 film King of New York), and by his primary stage name The Notorious B.I.G., was an American rapper. Raised in the Brooklyn borough of New York City, Wallace grew up during the peak years of the 1980s crack epidemic and started dealing drugs at an early age. When Wallace released his debut album with the 1994 record Ready to Die, he was a central figure in the East Coast hip hop scene and increased New York's visibility at a time when West Coast artists were more common in the mainstream. The following year, Wallace led his childhood friends to chart success through his protégé group, Junior M.A.F.I.A.. While recording his second album, Wallace was heavily involved in the East Coast-West Coast hip hop feud, dominating the scene at the time. On March 9, 1997, Wallace was killed by an unknown assailant in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles. His double-disc set Life After Death, released fifteen days later, hit #1 on the U.S. album charts and was certified Diamond in 2000. Wallace was noted for his "loose, easy flow", dark semi-autobiographical lyrics and storytelling abilities. Since his death, a further two albums have been released. MTV ranked him at #3 on their list of The Greatest MCs of All Time. Wallace began rapping when he was a teenager. He would entertain people on the streets with his rapping as well as perform with local groups, the Old Gold Brothers and the Techniques. After being released from prison, Wallace made a demo tape under the name Biggie Smalls, a reference to his childhood nickname and to his stature; he stood at 6'3" and weighed as much as 300 to 380 pounds according to differing accounts. The tape was reportedly made with no serious intent of getting a recording deal, but was promoted by New York-based DJ Mister Cee, who had previously worked with Big Daddy Kane, and was heard by the editor of The Source magazine. In March 1992, Wallace featured in The Source's Unsigned Hype column, dedicated to aspiring rappers and was invited to produce a recording with other unsigned artists, in a move that was reportedly uncommon at the time. The demo tape was heard by Uptown Records A&R and record producer, Sean "Puffy" Combs, who arranged for a meeting with Wallace. He was signed to Uptown immediately and made an appearance on label mates, Heavy D & the Boyz' "A Buncha Niggas" (from the album Blue Funk). Soon after signing his recording contract, Combs was fired from Uptown and started a new label. Wallace followed and in mid-1992, signed to Combs' new imprint label, Bad Boy Records. On August 8, 1993, Wallace's long-term partner gave birth to his first child, T'yanna. Wallace continued selling drugs after the birth to support his daughter financially. Once this was discovered by Combs, he was made to quit. Wallace gained exposure later in the year on a remix to Mary J. Blige's single "Real Love", under the pseudonym The Notorious B.I.G.; the name he would record under for the remainder of his career, after finding the original moniker "Biggie Smalls" was already in use. The letters in "B.I.G." apparently do not stand for anything. "Real Love" peaked at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was followed by a remix of Blige's "What's the 411". He continued this success, to a lesser extent, on remixes with Neneh Cherry ("Buddy X") and reggae artist Super Cat ("Dolly My Baby", also featuring Combs) in 1993. In April 1993, his solo track, "Party and Bullshit", appeared on the Who's the Man? soundtrack. In July 1994, he appeared alongside LL Cool J and Busta Rhymes on a remix to label mate Craig Mack's "Flava in Ya Ear", reaching #9 on the Hot 100. RUN TIME: 50:13 1) One More Chance (Album)

Podcast SummaryHip-Hop & Rap (old skool and current) R&B Hip-Hop Samples Dance/House Music Reggae
Rare Grooves Funk/Soul Disco About DJ PARALLELChristopher Robinson AKA DJ PARALLEL - I started DJ'ing approximately 20 years ago. I used to listen to DJ Chuck Chillout on Friday nights and DJ Red Alert on Saturday nights on 98.7 Kiss FM New York. Totally enthralled with DJ'ing, I decided to put my foot in the game. I learned how to scratch on one of those classic shelf system all-in-one stereos that had the dual tape decks on the bottom, the EQ in the middle, the tuner on top of that, and a cheesy belt driven plastic platter turntable on top. My volume knob was the "cross fader" as I destroyed many records on that platter! It wasn't too long before I was able to save enough money to get my first set of turntables - some crappy Gemini belt driven jammies. I am a totally self taught DJ. No one showed me the game, how to mix, scratch, or what to buy so my first equipment bascially stunk. Once I understood the difference between belt driven turntables and direct drive's, I stepped up and got some Gemini 1800XL's. They were direct drive but didn't have the torque that was (at that time) patented by Technics. After a whole bunch of trial and error, and some wasted money I might add, I was finally able to get me some Technics 1210 MK2's. From that point, my system grew strong as my partner (DaManDL) and I were hired for a multitude of parties stretching from our home base of St. John's University to NYU, John Jay - and the list goes on! As music began to change in the late 90's, I felt that hip-hop was going in the wrong direction. It was this time I decided to take a haitus from spinning. Simply stated...it wasn't fun anymore. In 2007, I decided to try out the new wave of DJ'ing - Serato Scratch Live. Though I was skeptical at first, once I got my hands on it, the magic and desire to spin came bursting through like gangbusters! Though I have now followed the footsteps of many DJ's by going digital, my roots are old skool and I consider myself a vintage REAL old skool DJ. I don't use CDJ's or CD decks when I mix. I am straight vinyl (Serato vinyl now). Some DJ's are outstanding blenders/mixers. Others are outstanding scratchers. I like to think I'm a good blender with much better than average scratching ability. FOR THE LOVE OF MUSIC! DJ PARALLEL ~ NONE EQUAL ~ ** JOIN DJ PARALLEL MUSIC ZONE ON FACEBOOK!! Followers
