  • Rap Doggfather's 'Snoopified' --10-4-05
    Rap Doggfather's 'Snoopified' --10-4-05 Written by Robert ID1835 Thursday, 25 August 2005 06:31 - Long Beach rap artist Snoop Dogg is a star in the film and television worlds, but we all know that his true calling is in music. The Long Beach rapper is one of the most significant rap artists of all time, having pushed gangster rap into the mainstream. Capitol / Priority is pleased to announce the October 4 release of 'snoopified: The Best of Snoop Dogg'', the only Snoop greatest hits package currently shipping to stores. The high-powered collection includes revolutionary production from hip-hop's most important producers: Dr. Dre, The Neptunes, Timbaland, DJ Premier and DJ Quik. Snoop Dogg, a modern-day legend of stage and screen, has remained a musical force well into the new millennium. He has shown that, unlike most other rappers, he can sustain his musicality as trends and styles come and go. "He is at once ol'-skool and nu-skool," Kimberly N. Cooper writes in the package's liner notes, "and one of the few to bridge the divide without compromising either side." When the smooth-flowing Snoop Dogg teamed with fellow rap icon Master P in the mid-''90s, Snoop updated many of his classic recordings. Included on 'snoopified'' are "Still A G Thang" and "Gin & Juice II," two deft reworkings of the songs that made Snoop a star in the first place. Snoop Dogg also showed while working with Master P that his creative juices remained strong. " Bitch Please," "Down 4 My N's" and "Woof!" were three smash singles contained on 1999's ''No Limit Top Dogg'' album that are also featured on 'snoopified''.

  • POP ENTRAINMENT Jon Leidecker
    POP ENTRAINMENT Jon Leidecker As the techniques of Audio Collage slowly migrated from formal conceptual practice to the commercial mainstream, a mood of cautious experimentation gave way to cavalier mispresentation. But even the most problematic examples of music that caricatures the cultures from which it borrows still inevitably raise useful challenges to ownership, and the paradigms of authorship and individual intent. Entrance By the early 1960’s, the location of what the listening audience perceived to be a musical composition was in the process of migrating, moving from the classical domain of written notation on paper to the carefully engineered audio recording. Tape collages, new compositions created from pre-existing record- ings of earlier ones, made this process overt and audible to the listener. A commonly reoccurring con- cern in many of these early pieces was the juxtaposition of the music of different cultures, an attempt to compose the music of what Marshall McLuhan referred to as the Global Village. The idealized definition of music as a universal language could now be examined and challenged with formal explorations, both in Utopian pieces attempting to synthesize new harmonies between disparate musical disciplines, such as in Stockhausen’s “Hymnen”, Teiji Ito’s “Tenno” or Ruth Anderson’s “DUMP”, and in critical investiga- tions that juxtaposed seemingly similar sounds to underline the wildly different meanings when those sounds were heard in their original contexts, such as Richard Maxfield’s “Bacchanale” and James Ten- ney’s “Viet-Flakes”. Some of these new harmonies were beautiful, some were violent, and which of these were which depended on the perspective of the listener.

  • Suge Knight Hip Hop 'Boogie Man' Or Rap Innovator
    Suge Knight Hip Hop 'Boogie Man' or Rap Innovator Written by Robert ID4448 Monday, 21 July 2008 05:56 - With the recent sale of Death Row Records, all the nay slayers have had their say and most of the hip hop community has chimed in on the recent events surrounding hip hop entrepreneur, rap mogul and the founder of Death Row Records; Marion ‘Suge’ Knight. Some are even saying he is out of the game now and the sale of the Death Row Records catalog puts an end to the ‘Suge’ Knight era in hip hop. Set aside all the unsubstantiated rumors and unfounded accusations made towards him, and Marion ‘Suge’ Knight’s performance in hip hop music speaks for itself. Seems that the ‘boogie man’ of hip hop culture has never, and I suppose will never be noticed for his contributions and accomplishments in the hip hop, rap and gangsta rap world; mainly because the ‘mainstream’ press and some so called hip hop and rap web sites who like to focus on anything negative and very seldom look at the accomplishments of those in hip hop culture. Coming out of Compton, California and then attending UNLV (University of Nevada, Las Vegas) where he played football. Marion ‘Suge’ Knight also played for a short time with the Los Angeles Rams until an injury sidelined him; Suge Knight was always a ‘stand out’ type person, he always had a business approach to everything. Later he was a bodyguard for many celebrities; Bobby Brown was one that ‘Suge’ Knight body guarded for.
