R.I.P. MC BREED

2008-11-24T08:31:00.000-08:00

Michigan rapper MC Breed, who burst onto the national scene with the 1991 hit "Ain't No Future in Yo' Frontin'," has died at age 37.
A Washtenaw County medical examiner's spokesman says Eric Breed was pronounced dead Saturday at a friend's home in Ypsilanti, about 30 miles southwest of Detroit.
Toxicology reports are pending, but officials say no foul play is suspected.
The Detroit News and The Flint Journal say Breed had suffered from kidney failure.
Breed grew up in Flint, and "Ain't No Future in Yo' Frontin'" contained several references to the city. He moved to Atlanta in the 1990s.
Between 1991 and 2004, Breed recorded 13 albums and collaborated with artists such as Tupac Shakur.

Gotta Catch Up!

2008-11-18T12:17:00.000-08:00

Saturday.
The Latasha Norman Walk/run
First of all my sympathies to the family for the lost its been a year since the tragic incident and JSU had a walk where there was prizes, soda, and slim jim's for the runners also a dj who they got at the last minute playing some good music in the brisk early morning weather.

Thank you to DJ Jonasty and Ms. Jackie Nash for letting be apart of this event.

Later I got another last minute gig way out in middle of nowhere I think its called the Junk Yard 2 or Club Laffy Taffy I got the call to go out there at about 10:00 I did'nt make it out there till about 11:40 In the short time I had I rocked the crowed with that ghetto shhh. and now thats a regular gig wow. Shout out to DJ Rafe and Hub.

Which leads me to "her" as my girlfriend like to call my new xbox 360 I finally got one! Shout out to Black Jack for the hard drive.
Put your gamertag here too.

I need some more friends so there is my gamertag just send me a msg and when you do request so I know who or what you are. I also need some help picking out what my first game should be since street fighter 4 isnt out I can't play pac-man and uno till it comes out so any suggestion will help even though I think I am gonna go ahead and get dead 4 life but that requires friends... which I don't have.

In about 4 to 6 weeks I will have a xbox 360 or as I like to call it SEXbox 360 this will be one of the first games I will buy simply because I get to pwn noobs and everybody I know either plays Madden or Live. Capcom is Re-releasing Super Street FIghter II Turbo for the PS3 and SEXbox 360.

The catch is though the characters and backgrounds are all redrawn by the udon comic artists the reason for this is tfor it to look wayyyyyyy better on HDTVs oh yeah and you can fight online which is great.

So I present to you the trailer for Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix

2008-11-07T12:55:00.000-08:00

In case you didn't know I am totally gay for Street Fighter (NO HOMO 'B') and with Street Fighter 4 coming to america I can't wait!
In the street fighter history the bosses tend to be incredibly cheap and powerful and the latest one looks like hes gonna be a bastard deal with and if I had to guess, if I was playing this in the arcade I would lose a lot of quarters trying to beat him, and with the economy the way it is I can't afford that. Check the video below to see the chaos, its like watching Obama win the election!

How Could You....

2008-11-07T10:07:00.000-08:00

Its been a long time since I did a blog actually too long, so I had to come back to ya with the video for Kanye's next single 'Heartless' which is a very stylized video that reminds me of A-Ha's - 'Take On Me'.

I if you noticed I changed the name of the blog because, I felt that I was'nt alone any more with Lupe, The Cool Kids, Hollyweerd, P.P.T., and 7even:Thirty I definitely was the only child of the Native Tongues anymore.

Listen In Mono is the name my blog now because thats what I do when I cue up the next song when I dj. You find links to the blog on my facebook page, youngvenom.blogspot.com, and soon djyoungvenom.com.

Soon you'll understand....

2007-10-21T20:43:00.000-07:00

I haven't posted up anything in a LONG time and I apologize for that. But if you have been checking out Slam Evil.org you will see that I have done a mixtape that is availible for FREE. So jump on that cause I am not usually this nice! Anyway 80's Babies Party Part 2 is November 10th so to get ya'll prepared for that I will be posting a couple of flashback joints here and there lets begin with The System.

Chi State Of Mind 3.0 "Her Name is WIndy and She Like to Blow Trees..."

2007-09-11T07:18:00.001-07:00

The End...Kinda I flew there that Monday and was supposed to leave out Thursday that didn't happen cause of the weather so i ended up staying till Sat. but my story ends here...cause nothing else happened.

This day started off great and ended horrible but, I made the best of it Scrap and I went to go look for at a phony parking gargage for his old school and got lost and sidetracked due to the rain and the roads were confusing as hell. On top of that when I finally got directions to one of the gargaes the way was block with fallen trees cause of the strong winds. Scrap was saying he never seen anything like it before in Chicago I thought he was trippin due to the fact that they call this the windy city be it turn out a tornado did pass over or something...Being from Mississippi I have slept through tornadoes and thunderstorms so it didn't phase me I thought my flight was still gonna leave...I thought wrong...I should have listened to Scraps mom when she said "You're gonna be there all night you better call and reschedule your flight!"

Scrap took me to this record shop at the last minute mind you my ends are super low like 40 bucks...

Yes that is me diggin trough the 79 cent bins my moms thought me how to bargin shop! Thanks ma!

I came out pretty good for the amount of money I spend I came out with
these...

These JJ's chicken and fish joints are everywhere from the looks of it Church's is shut down in the chi and replaced with this joint.

My flight was supposed to leave at 7 then delayed to 8, then 9, by the time I got to the airport it was delayed till 10.

Gate B19 notice how my time is not even up there.

People looking real crazy.
All the flights were cancelled at 3 a.m. so I tried to get my bag back with the rest of thousands of people as well. They stopped sending luggage back at 4 a.m. said it would be sent to the final destination in the morning how fucked up is that! So for two days I had no clothes but everything worked out in the end.

Enough with the past next week im going to see the roots!

Chi State of Mind 2.0 "So Chi that you thought I was bashful"

2007-09-10T08:27:00.000-07:00

Ok so this where you need to go Chi State Of Mind 1.5 to see exclusive video of Dj Terry Hunter remixing Trey Songz new single "I can't help but wait". I posted it on Slamevil.org because blogger didn't have the opinion to up load video until today so go figure... you need to listen to the podcast anyway. Back to the show...

First some shots of the city....

Bijon's the restur- er ah Bistro of choice while I was in the Chi. first its is a awesome place to eat 2 it doesn't close until 4 a.m. How awesome is that! I swear we ate there like everyday.

Scrap thirsty on the grind...

I'm a sneaker head and street wear fashion hypebeast so naturally I had to go to all the hot spots even as broke as I am. We went to Self conscious but that place is WAY over priced and i forgot my camera so no pics of it dope layout though.

Leaders has two locations south side and one on the north side this is the south side location.

Scrap's 1967 Buick Skylark nuff said.
Oh check the background yes that is a Harold's chicken and yes it is next to Leaders so you can go to Leaders get a fresh outfit, get some greasy chicken on said outfit, walk out of Harold's and drop that fit of at the cleaners next door and repeat.

PHLI (Fly) The name comes from "I Love Hyde Park" backwards.

The PHLIing mascot

ALIFE's if you don't know what these are then you got some learning to do.

Dave Jeff owner of PHLI and PLUGG CITY Fashion Specialist.
My Shirt by Mighty Healthy, says "Real Eyes, Realize, Real lies" with pics of Charles Manson, and some crazy model chick from the 80's who's name I forgot. Anyway Dave realized I have mad style a complimented me on my shirt.

Enough plugging send me my gear please!!!

Because he can he don't know how or why he just does.

Yea so this post is late as hell for no reason beside me being lazy and blogger doesnt upload pictures very quickly so you either enjoy this or not.

First let me say this had to be the most spontanious trip of my life quick story of how I ended up there.

The end of poetry night im chillen talkin to some friend when I get a call from Dj Scrap Dirty.

Scrap- Big Face what are you doing tomorrow?
Venom- Nothing what up?
S-Im gonna fly you up here to Chicago for Terry's Birthday party and to clear your head.
V-Huh?!!? Tomorrow when did you decide this?
S-Just a minute ago so call Mel on 3-way so I can tell her to buy your ticket.
V-Scrap its 2:30 in the morning...

Any way we did'nt get in contact with Mel till about Noon when she proceded to book me on a 5 o'clock flight straight to chicago.

Waiting on my flight...

Those Ritz Chips are the shiznite!

...of Dj Venom

I get off the plane and the first thing i get when i hop in the car..... a bottle of Sutter Home Merlot...LOL

Scrap and Terry Hunter Chopping it up in the Lab.

Everybody met Khayyan Terry Hunter's assistant, we had some words over email so we clash like water and oil. (but then who dont I clash with???)

Green Dolphin Street is a club for the house heads prior to me going there here is some advice I recieved from Scrap and I quote.
"You gonna see some crazy shh like people dancing on speakers, putting their heads in speakers, etc."
"Don't try TO talk to any girls cause they may not be girls Jo."
"You ever heard of Studio 54? Well its like that."

Terisa Griffin
She Actually learned how to sing over house beats from Terry Hunter she was'nt expecting this song to be as big of a hit as it was so it caught her off guard.

Singing for the crowd on Terry's Birthday.

The Legendary Terry Hunter Yall!

Act Like You Know

2007-08-01T19:00:00.000-07:00

Listen. Or should I say read? Whatever pay attention dammit. This Sunday at Seven* Studioz at 7:30 p.m. is 7thirty's Album Release Party I just happen to be DJing it (not so shameless plug). If you are a fan of Cee-lo, Lupe Fiasco, or Andre 3000 you might want to check this dude out. If you are wondering what think of dude hes a pretty solid MC and very entertaining, but you shouldn't care what I think you can check out his MYSPACE PAGE to hear four tracks off of the album Star: The 7even Thirty Experience or wait till the release party to hear him LIVE and bring 10 dollas to get album from the man personally. Support local hip hop you can't "walk-wipe-it-two step-bay bay-on my yamaha-shuffle" all the damn time think about it. Take a second.............
If you dont show up he will have his cd in your local Bebop record shop. I actually ran into him today at Bebop ironing out the details on that.

NOW THAT I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION!

A national holiday is tomorrow im not gonna say what it is but you know its the only important day in August all black people take off of this day to celebrate this joyous occassion.

Thats all i'm done go back to doing something else to waste your life.

Start The Show...

2007-07-30T10:04:00.000-07:00

Something I honestly dont want to do thats probably why im gonna get to the point in the these reviews. I won't post them all for the purpose I want you to go www.violatordjs.com and read em' there. Now lets start the show...

Two years ago Common released his most highest charting album "BE" to
the masses. It was short, sweet, insightful, and hailed a classic by
many. He returns with his "Premo" Kanye West on production for
majority of the album for a attempt out do "BE". The end result is
exactly what you would expect growth, soulful beats, are better than
most, but not Mr. Can I Borrow a Dollar's best. Common shines in this
album by telling you what he all ready told you time and time again
just in a different way. From the socially conscious lyrics about
inner city living in "Misunderstood", to trying too hard too be
something you're not in "Driving Me Wild", callin out so called
ballers in "Southside", boasting about his skills in "Start The Show"
and "The Game", and of course the love ballads in "I Want You" and "So
Far To Go". Common's storytelling is still supurb as always a good
example of this would be from "Break My Heart" where he tells of his
relationship problems.

"it was a dream day/met her on Spring Break/look like the type that be
like no habla ingles/she said you look like you rap, where's your
bling-ay/and your clothes are tight but you don't seem gay/I said naw
that's dude from N-Sync-ay/she wasn't married, kept a ring on her
pink-ay/she said you know I don't be dating rappers/I said I got my
Sag card, baby I'm an actor"

Not his best lines lyrically, but with the Kanye looped sample that
will have you singing the hook in your sleep. Kanye must have
channeled the ghost of Dilla with his chopped up samples and vocals in
"Break My Heart" and same goes for his understudy Devo Springsteen on
the Nina Simone sampled "Misunderstood".
Common still has enough sense when choosing his beats for a album that
flows seemlessly, effortlessly, and ends it with a message from his
"Pops" telling the engineers that he dont need no cue cards then going
on to tell us about forever.

This has to be a joke

2007-07-25T03:26:00.001-07:00

They say a picture says a thousand so I am gonna let this one do most of the talking.....after I throw in my two cents.

I am trying to understand with all of the artists that been around in XXL's 10 years why Baby & Wheezy? Well CMR (Cash Money Records) is going into its 10th anniversary next year but they have been around since 1991 but has been under contract with Universal since 1998.

So with that said who else was XXL gonna put on the cover lets go down the names on the cover...

50 Cent - he was on last months cover plus hes been on about maybe 10 XXL covers since '04

Eminem - No hit single and same reasons as 50 cent also XXL has been catching a lot of flack for putting to many interscope artists on their covers.

Puffy - He cant stop wont stop putting out B.I.G. albums. Puffy could have got the cover for being in 10 years plus in the game if his album wasn't wack...take that, take that, take that.

Kanye - Has two hot singles that are too left field and this dude does not need to be on another magazine cover his ego is way to big as it is.

Outkast - Should have been on the cover if not for Idlewild. Its not the movie that held them back but the album/soundtrack that was a huge dissapointment to alot of people that and Andre 3000 cartoon Class of 3000 the show is good the music is just horrible I know its for kids but damn man.

Nelly - doesnt have a hit single right now and wouldnt represent XXL 10th anniversary properly.

Master P -Please stop. Stop rapping. Stop Acting. Stop trying to play pro b-ball. Stop the clothing line. Just stop. Side note Percy is releasing a 10th anniversary edition of Ghetto D with bonus tracks! Genius. Im buying 5 copies.

Juvenile - He put CMR on the map "Ha" is still jammin till this day his new single isnt cutting it though.

B.G. - If Juvie. put CMR out there for the masses the Baby Gangsta made Cash Money what it is today. With 13!!! albums in the game he just lacks that mass appeal and marketabilty for him to sell this issue. that should change soon because he is now signed with Grand Hustle.

T.I. - T.I VS T.I.P. a big disapointment in alot of peoples eyes and could have been way better. T.I. has alot of clout to be the Jay-Z of the south.

SO there you have it thats why Birdman & Birdman J.R. are on the cover...probably but why this picture?!!?
News flash for anybody still "Gangbanging" thats shit is old. Grow the fuck up, especially if you are a grown ass man with a college education im talkin to you Baby.
Really, did both of them have to have their shirts off?
Sagging is old too. Wear a motherfuckin' belt.
Tattoos....If you get a picture of another man on your chest make sure that man is dead, otherwise its just gonna look gay and everybody knows baby and Wayne aint gay right?

They Busted Slob..

I aint hatin' im just sayin....

UPDATE I just thought of something
Wezzy F. Baby...
Wezzy F@#*s Baby
please say the baby
I swear im done.

No Rest Just Stress

2007-07-10T23:50:00.000-07:00

My life is a constant headache you just have know idea. When family doesnt support you people dont understand you, and try to take advantage of you it becomes a headache. Having to explain yourself to people that claim to be your friends who just so happen to turn around behind your back and talk about what you are or are'nt doing with your life like its their business...

Theres no point to todays blog just me venting which I have been doing a lot of lately so continue reading or fuck off. Speaking of which some of my friends say I curse too much why are you saying something i clearly dont give a fuck about. Stay the fuck out of my business and go have a fuckin coke and a smile you shitface bastard/broad. On a side note broad is my fav. deragatory term/word whatever.

Alot of people ask me "Hey why don't you finish school?" I swear i get this annoying question every damn day and I just want to say STAY THE HELL OUT OF MY LIFE IF I WANT TO TELL YOU MY LIFE STORY I WOULD. The whole only child thing you know how we all are spoiled. bullshit. I have been without a job (djing at seven studioz does'nt count _ does'nt want to pay anybody, ever wonder why there isn't a band anymore on Thursday nite?) and gigs are not steadly coming in cause cheap ass country mothafuckas dont want to pay $200 for 3 hours of djing. My patcince is gone it is just not there any more I used to draw everyday I don't know what happened, but its gone so don't ask me any dumass questions, or say anything stupid or make me repeat myself!

*Catches breath*

Thats all.
I am now going to pray, eat a baconator, and do this slam evil podcast.

Happy, Merry, Freakin Earth Day. Hippies

2007-04-20T09:37:00.000-07:00

Well in case you did'nt know and I know you didn't or else you would have taken the day off because this Sunday, March 22nd 2007 is Earth Day. What's Earth Day you ask? Well dumbass it ovoulslly a day which you celebrate the earth and the resources and blah, blah, blah. The holiday nobody really cares about because its not comerciallized and I could care less about it myself. So you are probably wondering where the hell i'm going with this well since I half-ass care about the earth I have ONE thing to blame for this if it was'nt for it I would all for dumping toxic waste in the ocean and all that, but the one thing that change my life forever is.....Captain Planet.

Yea Captain Planet, who now dont get me wrong for its time had a awesome theme song, a diverse mix of characters, at least 3 messages per episode (1 in the main story and 2 mini how to help your enviroment crap), crazy super villians, and the GAYEST costume ever created for a superhero.

HERES THE DESCRIPTION I GOT FROM THE TURNER WEBSITE ABOUT HIS COSTUME
"Captain Planet only appears in his Captain Planet garb. These are not clothes but elements of the Earth that are integral to his composition. He is able to rearrange his molecular structure to transform himself into the various powers and elements of nature, e.g., water, wind, fire, ice, etc. Captain Planet's outfit does not represent a specific culture. He has grass-green hair, sky-blue skin, earthy brown eyes, blood-red chest, gloves and boots, and sunlight-yellow insignia/globe. The globe on his chest sometimes flickers and turns gray when he is losing power or is exposed to high levels of pollution."

LAME.

The 5 annoying kids had more personnality than the hero, but every story was this format:
Pollution by some super villian, planeteers go investagate, fight bad guys, lose to bad guys, call on Captain Planet, Captain Planet gets hurt/polluted, one of the planeteers throws water or dirt on him he gets better and saves the day.
The End

CAPTAIN PLANET INTRO AND OUTRO

But Captain Planet wasn't the only enviromental hero of 1991. Not by far, but he was the most memorible thanks to Ted Turner. The Toxic Crusaders led by the Toxic Avenger a nerdy janitor who got thrown into some toxic waste and became a super powerful super ugly superhero. It was based on the 1986 B-movie that was cheaply made, gorey, and had a huge cult following. He fought a alien race in the cartoon that thrived off of pollution so it was really surreal. The Toxic Avenger had a mop with a mind of its own and a girl who was blind I wish I was making this up but I am not his crusaders were,

NoZone a former pilot who flew through a hole in the Ozone layer and crashed into a silo of radioactive pepper, known for his powerful sneezes. Junkyard was a hobo who took shelter in a kennel with a guard dog in a polluted junkyard, which was covered in toxic waste when lightning struck it and merged them together. Headbanger is a fusion of two opposing personalities into a conjoined body - the cantankerous mad scientist, Fender and the surfer-like, singing telegram boy responsible for the accident, Bender. Finally, Major Disaster, who had the ability to control plants after falling into a radioactive swamp.

TOXIC CRUSADERS INTRO

The whole purpose of this blog is to educate you on how 1991 cartoons kicked ass and had a great message if it was not all rings shoot fire, toxic waste will give you super powers, pollution is bad tell your parents to stop, whatever. Both of these shows were fun had kick ass guitar solos in the intro, action figures came with plenty of suff you could lose or choke on (i.e. Toxie's mop or a planeteer ring) So with this knowledge of useless info and time wasting video go out this Earth Day and burn some gas, barbeque on the old charcoal grill, and take a hour long shower in the name of earth day cause we might as well use it while we have it.

EUROPEAN VACATION
starring
J DILLA, FRANK N DANK,
Dj Rhettmatic & Dave NY
+
DVD + CD / SUMMER 2007 RELEASE
In November 2005 Europe was exposed to one of the greatest Hip Hip shows to ever hit
European soil when the J Dilla tour landed featuring none other than long time Dilla Detroit
comrades Frank N Dank and Phat Kat plus DJ Rhettmatic. Nothing short of mass hysteria
followed - Blunts, stunts, jokes, good music and history in the making is what went down. Such
a spectacle can never be repeated. Witness an exclusive behind the scenes look at what it's
like going on the road with a legend! Experience the last tour J Dilla would grace his fans with
from the inside. Hear the music, see the moments and feel the vibe as we take you on a
journey to where Hip Hop is alive, well and kickin'. Welcome to Frank N Dank's European
Vacation.

THE F.D.R PROJECT
In 2007, Frank N Dank teamed up with Young RJ Rice to form a group known as The FDR
Project under their newly formed record label “For Da Record,” both utilizing the first initial of
each of their names; Frank, Dank and RJ. Each of these men studied under the renowned J
Dilla decided to unite because, “…we appreciate music the same way,” says Young RJ. “We
wanted to be able to put out stuff that we believed in.”
The first project slated for production on For Da Record is a DVD titled Frank N Dank’s
European Vacation, which will come packaged with a 5 or 6 track EP featuring work from the
members of The FDR Project. The DVD and EP will include the last performances from J Dilla
and Frank N Dank. Young RJ is overseeing production of both the DVD and musical portions
of the project. The highly anticipated Frank N Dank’s European Vacation will be released
Summer of 2007.

YOUNG RJ BIO
Detroit’s Ralph “Young RJ” Rice was raised around music. With both parents traveling for his fathers
group, R.J.’s Latest Arrival, it seems only obvious he would adopt creating music as a craft. Yet, Young
RJ did not immediately take an interest. “Music was just normal to me because it was what my parents
did.” It was not until later that he would be influenced by the classic Motown style and try his hand at
producing a sound of his own.
At the age of 14, Young RJ picked up a paper route as his first job. After an accident on his moped while
delivering papers resulted in a concussion, RJ turned in his paper route for studio time. He began
attending the studio regularly to spend time with his father and started making his first beats. By age 15,
RJ had sold his first beat to Kurupt of tha Dogg Pound, who coined the handle “Young RJ” for the
talented young man. Young RJ’s prodigal ear for music became evident as he gained experience
repairing beats and began working with J Dilla to perfect his growing skill.Having established himself behind the scenes, Young RJ produced for Slum Village’s third release, Trinity- Past, Present and Future, (Barak/Capitol). The album was released in August of 2002, resulting in
Young RJ attaining his first album production credits just after graduating high school. Following that
effort, he became the main producer for Slum Village’s subsequent albums, Detroit Deli - A Taste of
Detroit, (Barak/Capitol) released in 2004 and their 2005 self-titled release, Slum Village, (Barak). In
addition, Young RJ’s work can be found on Slum Village - Dirty District, vol. 1, (2002, Barak), Dirty
District, vol. 2, (2004, Barak) and Dirty District, vol. 3, (2006, Barak).
Young RJ’s masterful attention to sound and infinitely mature work ethic has granted him opportunities to
work with a variety of established artists. After spending time on tour with D12 as the sound engineer for
the “D12 World” tour, he went on to produce the hit single, “Girls Wit Da Boom” for the late Proof of D12,
(October 2, 1973 –, April 11, 2006). On Lloyd Banks of G-Unit’s Rotten Apple, (G-Unit Records, 2006)
Young RJ produced “Survival,” considered one of the best tracks on the album. His most recent
production can be found on Young Buck of G-Unit’s latest single, “Push ‘Em Back” from the Buck The
World, (G-Unit / Interscope) released March 2007 and currently getting airplay on stations across the
nation.
Young RJ has also produced tracks for song artists Ray-J and Dwele, demonstrating his versatility. His
meticulous attention to the sound of each instrument during production gives his tracks a fullness that is
difficult to match. “I like doing music because it’s like a puzzle. You start with the outside part and then
you have to fill it in.”

Frank N Dank Biography
Raised by Hip Hop in the music and culture rich city of Detroit, Frank Bush and Derrick “Dank” Harvey
are what happens when passion turns project. Frank N Dank met in 1984 when Frank moved into the
neighborhood where dank resided on the east side of Detroit. Sharing the ability to break-dance and an
undying love for Hip-Hop, the two immediately became friends. As middle school age children, they
united and would compete in Hip-Hop breakin’ battles against other neighborhood crews on Saturday
nights. “We were hip-hop kids,” Frank says. “Hip Hop has always been a part of my thing. It was that,
Prince and Michael Jackson.”
Considered the weird kids in high school, Frank, Dank and best friend James “J-Dilla” Yancey (February
7, 1974 – February 10, 2006), continued to invest their free time into Hip Hop. They were apart of many
formations of Hip-Hop, DJ and Breaker groups until finally being labeled Frank N Dank by J Dilla. Over
the next few years their Hip-Hop hobby grew into a craft; with Frank moving from breakin’ to DJing and
rhyming and Dank perfecting his rhyming skills.
It was in 1999 that Frank N Dank would have their first 12” vinyls released on Fat Beats, both with one
song on each side; Me And My Man / Love (A Thing Of The Past) and Everybody Get Up! / Give It Up pt II
were produced by J Dilla. In 2000, Frank N Dank signed a recording deal with MCA records but released
no records. In the midst of the major labels’ collapse, Frank N Danks’ prospective MCA release, 48 hours
was continuously pushed back and eventually appeared as a bootleg LP in 2003 after they were granted
release from MCA record.
After a host of successful singles, touring with J Dilla across the US, London, Japan, Germany, Paris and
Amsterdam, and attaining tour dates alongside Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, Slum Village, Common,
Ludacris and Wyclef Jean, Frank N Dank released their first official debut X-tended Play Version 3.13 in
2006. The album featured 13 tracks that Frank n Dank described as soul music for players, including an
intimate track titled MCA that outlined their frustration with trying to release an album on a label that was
falling apart.
Twenty years of camaraderie, commitment and passion for hip-hop have made Frank n Dank arguably
one of the most well meshed hip-hop dyads. Armed with straight-forward, uninhibited lyrics and an
abundance of experience in the studio and on the acrid streets of Detroit, Frank N Dank have developed
credibility amongst both their peers and followers. “I just talk about my experiences in this city,” Dank
reveals. “My music is a by-product of my life.”

THE IMUS INCIDENT APRIL 4

Ok I not gonna harp on about this cause its old...
"hard-core hos", "nappy headed hos", and "jiggaboos" now working in radio myself there are things you can and can't say and ho is one those words if we play a unedited song with vulgar language we get fined the same goes if we say the "N" word or if callers say the "N" word. Now what Don Imus said was racist and sexist and really uncalled for, with his co-host or hosts saying its a "spike Lee Thing" the tone of their voices says it all really as they were just being themselves and had no regard for the girls feeling by saying such lude comments or the fact that they wont get fined. Its sad really, a 15 sec. apology and a two week suspension is all the punishment this grown man gets and its getting old. With Kramer, Mel, and Imus and co. using freedom of speech rightfully need to be more careful about their lude comments and being a black man in america I know a lot of artists say ho and what not to degrade our women and ourselves, but that tired and old excuse for people they get over it no celeb. can speak for a entire race Whatever... stuff like this makes me ashamed to call myself a human being considering its 2007 and we seem to be going backwards in society.

Ok im gonna try and do these video tributes once a week and for this week I choose to spotlight Rappin 4 Tay. Not only does his new album drop today, but aparently he is STILL ALIVE! I swear I thought he was dead. So for those how dont know about him here is a brief bio on him that I snatched from wikipedia.com.

Rappin' 4-Tay (born Anthony Forté on March 2, 1968) is an American rapper from San Francisco, California best known for the track "Playaz Club" from his 1994 album Don't Fight the Feeling. He debuted on the Too $hort album Life Is...Too Short but soon after the album release, 4-Tay was arrested on drug charges. After his sentence was completed Rappin' 4-Tay Is Back!!! 1992), followed by "Don't fight the feeling" Which produced such hits as "I'll Be around, Playaz club and She's a sell out. Also most notably the track "Dank Season", featuring Frankie J Fly. While the albums won him a devoted fanbase, especially in the San Francisco area, his mainstream success was scarce, although he was featured in 2Pac's genius track "Only God Can Judge Me" on Book One of the All Eyez On Me album. In 1995 (see 1995 in music), 4-Tay released I'll Be Around, then Off Parole (1996, 1996 in music), 4 tha Hard Way (1997, 1997 in music), Introduction to the Mackin (1999, 1999 in music), and the re-release of Off Parole (2002, 2002 in music)). Gangsta Gumbo was released in 2003.

Do The Right Thing

2007-04-08T06:28:00.000-07:00

Do The Right Thing = DTRT

A classic movie that came out in 1989 I was four years old when this came out and had way more interest with ninja turtles than racial issues. With the release of the DTRT Jordan III this Saturday I wanted to the watch the movie that inspired the shoe from start to finish since the last time I watched it was on VHS. Even though the poster for the movie and MARS (Spike Lee) Blackman the only inspiration. So I decided spend Easter Sunday morning watching this movie and the first thing I notice is the camera work, the imagery in this movie is absolutely perfect. Any and every scene can be paused and admired like the work of art it is. The movie, just like the shoe, has aged well considering clothing, music, and conversations have changed...somewhat since clothing has recycled and whats old is new, and music "Fight the Power" by Public Enemy which samples at least two James Brown songs, (yea people have been biting since the 80's not just Kanye) is played heard at least on fifteen separate occasions in the movie, lastly the conversations are all the same throughout life. I know alot of people like the three men on the corner crackin jokes, Mother Sister, Buggin' Out, Pino, and Mookie so the movie has a personal feel to it since I can relate to alot of the characters.

Here are my top five fav. quotes frome DTRT

1. Radio Raheem: "Let me tell you the story of "Right Hand, Left Hand." It's a tale of good and evil. Hate: It was with this hand that Cane iced his brother. Love: These five fingers, they go straight to the soul of man. The right hand: the hand of love. The story of life is this: Static. One hand is always fighting the other hand; and the left hand is kicking much ass. I mean, it looks like the right hand, Love, is finished. But, hold on, stop the presses, the right hand is coming back. Yeah, he got the left hand on the ropes, now, that's right. Ooh, it's the devastating right and Hate is hurt, he's down. Left-Hand Hate K.O.ed by Love."

2. Sweet Dick Willie: "Man you out yo mind?! It aint never too hot or never too cold for fuckin!"

3. Mister Senor Love Daddy: "My people, my people, what can I say, say what I can. I saw it but didn't believe it, I didn't believe what I saw. Are we gonna live together, together are we gonna live?"

4: Pino: "You gold-teeth-gold-chain-wearin', fried-chicken-and-biscuit-eatin', monkey, ape, baboon, big thigh, fast-runnin', three-hundred-sixty-degree-basketball-dunkin' spade Moulan Yan."

5: Buggin' Out: "Hey, Sal, how come they ain't no brothas on the wall?"

Honorable Mentions:
"Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. The old law of an eye for an eye leaves everybody blind. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than to convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys a community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends by defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers."
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

"I think there are plenty of good people in America, but there are also plenty of bad people in America and the bad ones are the ones who seem to have all the power and be in these positions to block things that you and I need. Because this is the situation, you and I have to preserve the right to do what is necessary to bring an end to that situation, and it doesn't mean that I advocate violence, but at the same time I am not against using violence in self-defense. I don't even call it violence when it's self-defense, I call it intelligence."
- Malcolm X

I think its weird that decied to do a DTRT colorway for the Jordan III instead of the Jordan IV since that is the shoe Buggin' Out was wearing in the movie, but whatever, later this year the Jordan Brand will be releasing the DTRT Spizike's no release date has been announced as of yet.

In the meantime....
Do The Right Thing

Dont forget the DTRT Jordan III Drops April 14!

So Captain America is Dead???

2007-04-06T07:48:00.000-07:00

Well to the the rest of the world yes, but the REAL Captain America was black, thats right the real one was a "colored" who undergone experiments for the supersoldier serum that turned skinny Steve Rogers into a muscle bound war machine.
Read Isaiah Bradley's story HERE

Oh yeah he had a son!

Read Josiah X's story HERE. He was in the Vietnam war , was a member of the Black Panther Party, and is Muslim minister. He can't get any blacker if he tried!

So with Josiah X out there he has the most potential of being the next Captian America. Isaiah has a grandson by the way who is part of the Young Avengers you can read about Elijah Bradley HERE

So with that said R.I.P. Steve Rogers you will not be forgotten.

Allow me to reintroduce myself...

My name is Dj Young Venom a.k.a. Venom a.k.a. Y.V. I'm a Dj, intern, asshole, blah, blah, blah, etc. Seriously its pointless to try to sum myself up in this blog much less nobody out there will actually read it. So if you don't know me it's your fault because with myspace, facebook, and now this senseless blog there is no excuse.

I titled this blog "The Last Son of the Native Tongues" because they are hip hop and have somewhat disbanded so I feel like a bastard child of continuing to play their music when ever I can. Here's a link about them if you don't know, now you know.
The Native Tongues

Well I decided too take the advice of friend of mine and do a blog about the adventures in my life. In this blog expect more than just me talking about my boring life, i'll there will be, album reviews, at least one free mp3 a week, sneaker release dates, random music videos, and what to do in Jackson because I am tired of people saying, and I quote, "It ain't nothin to do in this city Jew...", and because I can my take on things and people i'm hating on. So on to the pointless babble....
