HIP HOP TWOSDAYS: THE FIRM

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

One of the most famous and/or infamous super groups that ever was; The Firm, consisting of heavyweights Nas, AZ and Foxy Brown, came and went before you could say “bling bling”.

They basically had two killer tracks before they parted ways and here they are before your very eyes…the powerful and smooth hard hitting boom bap of Dr. Dre’s “Phone Tap” along with the extra special remix to Affirmative Action that ganks the beat from the most classic posse cut “The Symphony”

THE FIRM – PHONE TAP

Famed Chicago record shop Dusty Groove America calls this “Easily one of the greatest new funk records of the 21st Century” and I couldn’t agree more.

El Michels Affair have a cool, laid back style with nods to both jazz and funk.  The first one here’s a choice cut from the above album and the second’s a dope instrumental cover of the Wu-Tang Classic.

DAFT PUNK TAKES ON TRON

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

Rumors have been swirling about like wildfire in Griffith Park for the last couple days about Daft Punk supposedly grabbing the reins and rocking the score to the long time in the making redux of TRON.

It’s called TR2N and will be helmed by up and coming CGI wizard Joe Kosinski.  It’s just about official now that Billboard released this article today.  Mark your calendars for 2011.  Here’s the theme from the O.G., hopefully Guy-Manuel and Thomas freak it silly.
