[Video] 1 to 4 (a hip-hop documentary)

“The most important three hours for hip-hop in Toronto has always been Saturdays from 1-4 p.m. on CKLN 88.1 FM. It all began back in 1983 with The Fantastic Voyage, the first hip-hop radio shot to exist in Canada. The torch was passed to The Power Move Show, The Real Frequency then Mixtape Massacre, making this timeslot the longest-running source for hip-hop music in the country.

On Saturday, February 12, 2011, a monumental gathering took place when all four generations of radio shows came together for a single broadcast. The impact of this musical institution is captured in the short documentary, “1 to 4”.”

The above blurb really sums it up but let me just add: if you’re from Toronto and love hip-hop you should already know the significance of Saturday afternoons from 1-4pm. If you don’t though, watch this video immediately to get familiar! Props to director, Celine Wong on putting this excellent project together.

Not familiar with this T.dot kid? I’ve featured him a few times before on the old Kitchen. This super-dope kinda hip-hop/kinda R&B track is from his Topic of Discussion EP.

[DJ Mix] DJ M-Rock – The Best of Nate Dogg

The Best of Nate Dogg mixed by DJ M-Rock by mrockproducerdj | Alt download link: hulkshare

The second installment in the M-Rock Best of Series Mixtapes: The Best of Nate Dogg.

“This week’s M-Rock Mondays [ed note: yes, I’m a tad late!] is a tribute to the best of probably the greatest hook vocalist in hip-hop. Nate Dogg had made his mark as a legend and main ingredient in the game the first time we heard him on “Ain’t No Fun” off of the classic album, Doggystyle. He’s “that dude who can make you cry even though he’s singing about putting his balls in somebody’s mouth!”. Listening to his music all over again reminds me of how flawless his voice was, his songwriting and how essential he was in making a song a banger whether it’s for the club or something smooth like “Regulate” or “Never Leave Me Alone”. Ice Cube said “it must be a single if Nate Dogg’s on it”, and rumour has it that “Oh No” (his single w/ Mos Def, Pharaoh Monche) has a record for the highest vinyl rap singles sold. Being a DJ who plays a bit of T-Pain and autotune-made music, it gives me a special appreciation to hear how much of a natural pitch-perfect singer Nate was – even his youtube freestyles give the impression that he did not rely on sound engineering the way today’s singers do. This tape was a rush compared to my Best of Kanye West mixtape, but my skills are still sharp on it. Enjoy. RIP Nathaniel Dwayne Hale.”
