FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 5, 2013 LESLIE WEST RE-RECORDS "LONG RED" ON STILL CLIMBING, BRINGING HEAVIER FEEL TO ONE OF THE MOST SAMPLED ROCK TRACKS IN THE HISTORY OF HIP HOP Jay-Z. Kanye West, Common, Lana Del Rey, De La Soul, Nas, EPMD, Eric B. & Rakim, The Game, ASAP Rocky and Many More have Integrated Track WEST TO PERFORM AT NEW YORK'S IRIDIUM NOVEMBER 13 New York, NY -- Leslie West chose to re-track the classic Mountain hit "Long Red" for his October 29th solo release Still Climbing , His motive, to reclaim as his own one of the most sampled rock tracks in the history of hip hop. Originally released on Mountain (1969), the song has found a renewed relevance with consistent usage year after year on platinum recordings. Some of the artists who have sampled the track include Jay-Z on 2003's The Black Album with "99 Problems," De La Soul with 2004's The Grind Date with "Verbal Clap," The Game's 2006 album Doctor's Advocate with "Wouldn't Get Far," and 2007's Finding Forever from Common with "The People." Recently, Lana Del Rey samples West's voice saying "Louder" on the title track of Born to Die, while ASAP Rocky's massive hit "Ghetto Symphony" from Long Live ASAP samples "Long Red." The wide usage is best presented via a sample map presented by Ethan Hein below. Mascot Label Group has created a Spotify playlist exhibiting the usages, which can be streamed here: http://open.spotify.com/user/1144792171/playlist/7sEELycSN1h2Fuy82OYiHl . On the steady usage of the track throughout the past two decades, and continued relevance today, West simply shares, "In 1969, when I wrote the song, there was no hip hop." Leslie West released Still Climbing on October 29 via Provogue Records / Mascot Label Group. On November 13, West will appear at New York City's Iridium for one-set at 8PM. For more information: http://theiridium.com/events/1962/leslie-west- with-opener-arielle-verinis-one-set-only-800-pm/ Additional tour dates will be announced as they are confirmed. Originality, excitement, honesty and survival are all part of what makes a legend, and those qualities ripple through every song on West’s upcoming release. The disc is also a testimonial to the strength and durability of West’s artistry. Born October 22, 1945, west recently celebrated his 68th birthday, West has packed some of the most soulful and searing vocal performances of his half-century career into these eleven tracks, and his guitar has never sounded more massive or riff-propelled. On the re- recording of "Long Red," West is joined by his brother, and former Vagrants band mate, Larry on bass. He shares, "It was time for me to let people hear that song the way I do it now. I used a B-3 organ on it again, but this time it has a lot more balls." www.lesliewestofficial.com www.facebook.com/lesliewestmountain ART : http://mascot-provogue.com/download/leslie_west/ Embedded Link For Spotify Play List : https://embed.spotify.com/?uri=spotify:user:1144792171:playlist:7sEELycSN1h2Fuy 82OYiHl .

Digitale Disconnectie Voor De La Soul
juridisch Digitale disconnectie dreigt voor hiphopgroep De La Soul Stakes Is High Bjorn Schipper Met de lancering op Netflix van de nieuwe hitserie The Get Down staat de opkomst van hiphop weer volop in de belangstelling. Tegen de achtergrond van de New Yorkse wijk The Bronx in de jaren ’70 krijgt de kijker een beeld van hoe discomuziek langzaam plaatsmaakte voor hiphop en hoe breakdancen en deejayen in zwang raakten. Een hiphopgroep die later furore maakte is De La Soul. In een tijd waarin digitale exploitatie volwassen is geworden en de online-mogelijkhe- den haast eindeloos zijn, werd onlangs bekend dat voor De La Soul juist digitale disconnectie dreigt met een nieuwe generatie (potentiële) fans1. In deze bijdrage ga ik in op de bizarre digi- tale problemen van De La Soul en laat ik zien dat ook andere artiesten hiermee geconfronteerd kunnen worden. De La Soul: ‘Stakes Is High’ Net als andere hiphopalbums2 bevatten de albums van De New Yorkse hiphopgroep De La Soul bestaat De La Soul vele samples.

Zo kreeg De La Soul snel een hippie-achtig imago aangemeten.

3 Feet High and Rising”--De La Soul (1989) Added to the National Registry: 2010 Essay by Vikki Tobak (Guest Post)*
“3 Feet High and Rising”--De La Soul (1989) Added to the National Registry: 2010 Essay by Vikki Tobak (guest post)* De La Soul For hip-hop, the late 1980’s was a tinderbox of possibility. The music had already raised its voice over tensions stemming from the “crack epidemic,” from Reagan-era politics, and an inner city community hit hard by failing policies of policing and an underfunded education system--a general energy rife with tension and desperation. From coast to coast, groundbreaking albums from Public Enemy’s “It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back” to N.W.A.’s “Straight Outta Compton” were expressing an unprecedented line of fire into American musical and political norms. The line was drawn and now the stage was set for an unparalleled time of creativity, righteousness and possibility in hip-hop. Enter De La Soul. De La Soul didn’t just open the door to the possibility of being different. They kicked it in. If the preceding generation took hip-hop from the park jams and revolutionary commentary to lay the foundation of a burgeoning hip-hop music industry, De La Soul was going to take that foundation and flip it. The kids on the outside who were a little different, dressed different and had a sense of humor and experimentation for days. In 1987, a trio from Long Island, NY--Kelvin “Posdnous” Mercer, Dave “Trugoy the Dove” Jolicoeur, and Vincent “Maseo, P.A. Pasemaster Mase and Plug Three” Mason—were classmates at Amityville Memorial High in the “black belt” enclave of Long Island were dusting off their parents’ record collections and digging into the possibilities of rhyming over breaks like the Honey Drippers’ “Impeach the President” all the while immersing themselves in the imperfections and dust-laden loops and interludes of early funk and soul albums.
