The D.O.C. "No One Can Do It Better" (1989)


The DJ Big Texas post by Hip Hop Is Read has brought back some memories of one of my all time favourite Rap albums, and probably one of the best rap albums ever made. This album honestly shows Dr. Dre's skill as a producer (way before is discovered "G-Funk" and fucked up rap for all of us). Get this one, and take a trip back when rap was rap, and not crap. Back soon. Peace!

The D.O.Centials (The Originals)


More hard work then any of us could even think about doing... Hip Hop Is Read is at the top of the pile when is comes to quality post and bringing quality music to our ears, and is one of the reasons why I can't seem to post up any new music. With all this goodness floating around, I don't have any time but to listen to other's shit. Anyways. Let's hope people like Ivan, never stops doing what he's doing. 55 minutes... 125 megabites... This ones a monster... Peace!

The Capitol "P" Live! Dec. 8th 2007


Don't have much information on show. It appears to have been a secret engagement. Over all it sounds good; almost a grown up version of the younger, more creative "Portishead" we all know and love. Contains some new songs that're worth a listen, but like I said, definately not your old "Portis!" Thanks to Dr. Nyquist for putting me on to this one. Laters!

Donny Hathaway "Come Back Charleston Blue OST" (1971)


Found this one over at "The Movement Forum." First I've ever heard of this record, but anything with Quincy Jones' name on it, is usually worth a listen, especially if it's from the early seventies. Conducted & Composed by Donny Hathaway, and Supervised by Quincy himself, it's definately a fine addition to your collection (let's not forget the amazing work J. J. Johnson did on the "Man & Boy OST" under the watchful eye of Mr. Jones). Anyways, contains a famous track that most hip-hoppers will know, "Little Ghetto Boy." Get this. Back soon. Peace!

Randy Weston "Blue Moses" (1972)


Picked this one up over at "Blog O Blog," and it's an outstanding conventional Jazz album off the CTI label, with a hint surrealism. The cover alone screams volumes. Get this one, and enjoy the clarity of the CD rip. It's well worth the listen. Happy New Year everyone!

Ike & Tina Turner "Workin' Together" (1971)


Here's another one from my mom's collection. Not to be dismissed as your everyday, run-of-them mill, 70's pop album (even though it contains one of their biggest commercial hits "Proud Mary"). Ike is one hell of a gentleman when it comes to his skill as producer, so get ready for some slick rare grooves & soul vocals through-out. Although there are a few unrepairable nicks on this one, it's definately a gem. Back soon. Peace!
