OK, sorry for the missing week but I was on holiday. Anyway a friend of mine recently pointed me in the direction of Max Tannone and his Ghost Funk project. It was released in July 2011 and pairs Wu-Tang member Ghostface Killah, with vintage African funk, high-life, and psychedelic rock music. It really is an excellent release and I highly recommend it for listeners of the funky persuasion. When I originally got the email I knew I recognized the name and it turns out he also did another excellent remix project called Dub Kweli which is also pretty high on my playlist. Basically if you haven't heard these releases you should go and check out his site.
Here's a selection of some original hip hop. I mean we're talking block parties, popping & locking and the start of rap here, proper old school stuff.

The download has some of the main pioneers of the early hip hop movement including Grandmaster Flash, Melle Mel & of course The Sugarhill Gang.

Well seeing as it's my birthday today and I've reached the wise old age of erm... 42 I think ;) I thought I'd post up a collection of some of my favourite songs of all time. There's going to be many different genre's but that's just a reflection of my taste in music. If you click on the band link it will open all the posts for that band so you can hear more of them.
Here is a bunch of remixes from De La Soul. Most of the tracks originally appeared on the 3 Feet High & Rising album which was released in 1989. De La Soul are a hip hop/rap group who formed in 1987 on Long Island, New York. Lyrically they spoke about peace & harmony with a good slice of humour which was pretty different to a lot of rap bands at the time. They introduced the concept of "the Daisy Age" which is actually an acronym for "Da Inner Sound Y'all" and their single and album covers were decorated with brightly coloured flowers and the like. This got the group labelled as the new breed of hippy and so they've tried to change their style on each of their subsequent releases.
The group is actually made up of three main members, Posdnuos (Sound Sop backwards), Trugoy The Dove (Yogurt backwards) and P.A. Pasemaster Mase. They had a massive influence on hip hop at the time and have worked with artists like The Jungle Brothers, A Tribe Called Quest, Queen Latifah and the Gorillaz.
