MP3 Download: Vapors 2012 (radio) ft. Kish, Dan-e-o & Maestro (Cuts by DJ MelBoogie) by DJ MelBoogie
This was sent to me a couple days back by long-time homie, Big Kish. For all y’all who only listen to stuff like A$AP Rocky, Odd Future and Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire this track might go clear over your head. Be clear: this is grown man, classic style hip-hop! Watch the Biz Markie original if you’re wondering/ain’t knowing where this song came from.
[CONTEST] Win Tickets to see Mix Master Mike Just Blaze at the Red Bull Thre3 Style Event at Sound Academy TONIGHT in Toronto
“After a 4-week nationwide tour and 80 DJs later, the jury has spoken and determined the fate of Canada’s 10 best DJs. During a 10-city, cross Canada tour, clubgoers witnessed their favourite DJs thrown down their finest tracks to battle it out for the title of their city’s “Best Party Rocker DJ”. On Saturday November 12 at the Sound Academy, the resident winning DJ from each qualifier city will drop their best 15-minute party set designed to ignite the dance floor, rock the judges, and ultimately defeat returning Canadian champ, DJ Drastik of Ottawa, ON. Not only will the 2011 victor take home the title of Canada’s ultimate party DJ, but they will earn a spot in the Red Bull Thre3Style World Final in Vancouver, BC December 12 – 17.”
Apparently Mix Master Mike had to be replaced with Just Blaze as headliner last minute, at least according to DJ Mensa who will be competing tonight. Some might see that as a change for the better though, no? Other than that I think the details still stand. CLICK HERE to learn more.

[Music Video] Mac Miller – Party on 5th Avenue
MP3 Download: Mac Miller – Party On Fifth Ave
From the article, “Mac Miller On Way to Indie History at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart” in Billboard.biz:
“Recent Billboard magazine cover man Mac Miller is on his way to his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, as his debut effort, “Blue Slide Park,” should easily top the list next week. Industry sources suggest the set will sell upwards of 180,000 copies by Nov. 13.
The Rostrum Records release is distributed by INgrooves via Fontana Distribution, Universal Music Group Distribution’s indie arm.
If “Blue Slide Park” bows atop the list, it will mark the first independently-distributed debut album to hit No. 1 since 1995. The last (and only previous) was Tha Dogg Pound‘s “Dogg Food.” It started in the penthouse on the chart dated Nov. 18, 1995, with 278,000 sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. “Dogg Food” was released on Death Row/Interscope, but independently distributed via Priority.”
Wow, 180,000 units f-cking units sold?! In 2011??! From my semi-dismissive semi-snarky posts on Miller all the way back to becoming the biggest new rapper in the game a year later. Mac Miller: I’m sorry I doubted you but shout to the homie, DJ Mark the 45 King, Ed Lover and word to “The 900 Number.”
R.I.P. Dwight ‘Heavy D’ Myers: May 24, 1967 – November 8, 2011
MP3 stream (no download): Heavy D “Don’t Curse” feat Kool G Rap, Grand Puba, Cl Smooth, Big Daddy Kane, Pete Rock & Q Tip by InWaxWeTrust
Sad, sad news especially coming just one day after the passing of the great Joe Frazier (which ironically was the inspiration behind this tweet).
The ‘Overweight Lover’ Dwight ‘Heavy D’ Myers was only 44 when he passed away yesterday. Myers was one of the more beloved figures in hip-hop which makes this news that much more hard to take. “Don’t Curse” above is one of the highlights of his very respectable musical career. Here’s wishing your spirit a Peaceful Journey, Mr. Big Stuff….
