Dirty Waters

I just wanted to drop a line to all the regular readers of this blog to inform you all that I'll be stepping aside from the blog game to focus on other things. Being back in school demands most of my time, and I'll soon have to plan for after graduation, so the blog is going to have a take a back seat. It's been enjoyable, for the most part, providing exclusive material for the past two years, but I'm sure as many of my fellow bloggers can understand, this is hard work that can be very time consuming.



I want to thank everyone who's helped me work on this site during the past two years, all the guest bloggers, all of the artists I have interviewed, all of the artists whose music I have posted, and also everyone who has shown support through comments, e-mails and visits to Dirty Waters. This may not be the official ending of the site, but posting from here on out will be considerably less. I've got plenty of treats in the archive, so be sure and check the back catalogue. The links that are dead I may not be able to re-up as I've changed computers twice in the past two years, but I would say a good 70% of the links on this blog are still active. Thanks to all for your support. Peace and Blessings.

Brand Nubian - How Ya Livin?

I just saw One Leg up released a Brand Nubian record in their series of limited exclusive demo re-releases that included 'How Ya Livin' which you may remember I posted two years ago. I caught a rip of the record with this song on it, and it seems like they cut out the last verse and almost half the track, why? Well in case you wanted to hear the whole thing, here it is re-upped by request, enjoy...

Mr. Magic & Mister Cee

Here's a nice R&B mix from Mister Cee from the Sunday night Hot 97 show he did with Mr. Magic during the late 90's. This one is from 1998.


Check out this old interview with both Mr. Magic and Mister Cee.

Also, peep Kaos on the Halftime Show, WNYU, doing some routines in 1998, that Biz routine is a classic!

Madvillain

Here's another example of how much I prefer demo versions over album versions. This version of Doom and Madlib's 'Pretty Blood' is far better than the original in my opinion. I read somewhere that the Madvillain LP leaked and so they re-did all of the tracks. Whether that is true or not, don't fix it if it isn't broke. The chop Madlib did for this is sick.

Bumpy Knucks

Here is Freddie Foxxx aka Bumpy Knuckles on WNYU's Halftime show in 1999. This was right before the release of his second solo LP, Industry Shakedown. The session here starts off with what might be Freddie Foxxx's first appearance on vinyl, in 1986, on a song called 'Handling Things' under the name Supreme Force. Then you'll hear a more recent song from Freddie Foxx, followed by a freestyle session.
