Bavu Blakes - Barcelona - August 29, 2007

From the let's all hump on hump day department... Tomorrow night... August 29th... Bavu Blakes and DJ Chicken George @ Barcelona... and free... what more can you ask for?!?



More info:

Dubbed "One of Texas' brightest new stars" by legendary rapper The D.O.C., Bavu Blakes is the ultimate wordsmith by both definitions. He is the 2006 Austin Music Award winner for best hip-hop act, a freelance journalist who has published stories in the Dallas Morning News and Fort Worth Star-Telegram, and the Urban Music Director (and on-air personality) of Time Warner's Music and Entertainment Television.

Equally adept at writing, performing and freestyling, Mr. Blakes offers both clarity and hype. While words and rhymes are clearly where his talents shine, he places equal importance on beats. By defining tracks in terms of mood, rhythm and melody, he makes the music sound better. Creating a sense of cohesion between the lyrics and beats, Mr. Blakes's music reveals this approach through clever, thought-provoking lyrics over diverse beats guaranteed to entice any listener's ear.

Dirty Sound Trash Stars - Whisky Bar - August 27, 2007

From the I need a drink this Monday department... The Remedy, a monthly event every last Monday is tonight @ Whisky Bar... Dirty Sound Trash Stars, a group consisting of Element7D, Young Nick, and Pop, will be performing... along with Da Blacc Goliath... and Notion... Get up, Get out and Move something...

From the one who lives in a glass house department... Percee P @ Whisky Bar tomorrow night, Aug 25th. Percee P comes out with his debut album Perseverance on Sept 18. released with Stones Throw. Also at Whisky Bar will be DJ Rhettmatic and DJ Chicken George.



More info:

Percee P (born John Percy Simon in 1971) is an underground hip-hop artist from the Patterson Projects in The Bronx, New York City, United States. Although he has never released an official album of his own, he is known in the underground for selling his mixtapes himself at shows and for his many guest appearances on other alternative and underground hip-hop artists' releases. He has worked with such rappers as Big Daddy Kane, Kool Keith, Lord Finesse, Aesop Rock, Edan the Deejay, Jurassic 5, C-Rayz Walz, Jaylib, Jedi Mind Tricks, Maestro Fresh Wes, Wildchild, and many more.

Percee P's debut album Perseverance will be released by Stones Throw Records on September 18, 2007, and is to be produced entirely by Madlib.

Percee P has been emceeing since 1979 and is considered one of the few old skool rappers still in the game.

Percee's voice is sampled on DJ Shadow's song "Napalm Brain/Scatter Brain" from the album Endtroducing......

His legendary battle with Lord Finesse from 1989 was immortalized on Edan the Deejay's Fast Rap mixtape, and a complete video of it has since surfaced as a bonus feature on the SBX DVD.

He is something of a legend in the underground scene due to his ubiquitous presence, yet complete determination to stay hardcore underground.

Talib Kweli - PBS - August 22, 2007

From the here's another one at ya department... Brian from KCET again wrote in to tell us about an interview by Tavis Smiley of Talib Kweli talking of his cool new album Ear Drum... catch the show tonight on PBS, Austin Channel 18 @ 12AM... otherwise you can always peep it online... Thanks Brian!

Talib Kweli Talks About His New Album Ear Drum On
“Tavis Smiley” Tonight.

Rapper Talib Kweli just released his fourth solo album yesterday. The
album Ear Drum is his first album that is recorded under his own record
label, Blacksmith Music. The album features collaborations with Kanye
West, Justin Timberlake, Norah Jones, KRS-One and Roy Ayers. Today Kweli
sat down to talk with Tavis about his new album among other things.


When Tavis Smiley asked Talib Kweli about his new album and how it
compares to his previous albums, Talib Kweli told Tavis that he doesn’t
like to compare albums because “they are like children” meaning he doesn’t
love one more than the other they are just different. The album Ear Drum
he states exemplifies the music that he grew up listening to. Talib Kweli
worked with people such as Kanye West who he feels was influenced by the
same people that he was growing up.

Tavis Smiley also asked Talib Kweli about how he was able to be considered
the best lyricist out there today. Kweli responded by saying that
although he is proud to be associated with artist such as The Roots, Kanye
West, Jay-Z, Common and Mos Def he feels that they have all ventured off
into new avenues such as movies, and acting. While a lot of the other
popular artists have expanded into other areas he worked to “master his
craft of pure lyricism.” For Kweli the draw is lyrics.

Tavis Smiley talked with Kweli about why he started his own label. Kweli
felt that Geffen Records did a poor job in marketing him. On Kweli’s
earlier album’s he had to pay for all of his videos out of his own pocket.
He was discouraged at the fact that other artist such as 50 Cent and
Kanye West started after him and they were reaching higher levels faster.
The fact that other artist were accomplishing more made him revaluate what
he was doing and how he was going at the business.

Kweli also discussed the fact that he grew up with two parents, who both
worked as professors. He said having two parents as educators have made
him gravitate towards other artists who also have professors as parents.
He also has said that having both parents in education has given him a
strong work ethic with out a large financial reward. He said that growing
up and watching his parents give to the community and being involved with
out a large financial reward has taught him the value of being involved
and give back to the community.

Pras Michel - PBS - August 20, 2007

From the I'm a little late, but it's ok department... Brian from KCET wrote in to tell us about an interview by Tavis Smiley of Pras Michel talking of his cool new documentary "Skid Row"... you can still get at it online... or just watch it below. Thanks Brian!

From Brian...

Pras Michel of The Fugees Talks About Living On The Streets Of
CityplaceLos Angeles On “Tavis Smiley.”

Pras Michel was the director and star of the documentary “Skid Row.” In
the documentary he lives on the streets of downtown placeCityLos Angeles
for 9 days in an area called “skid row,” where there are approximately
11,000 homeless people living on the streets.

During the documentary Pras was budgeted one dollar a day. Anything else
he needed he had to come up with a way to get on his own. During the
interview with Tavis Smiley, Pras talks about learning to pan handle, and
what it takes to survive on the streets. He describes one ironic scene in
the movie in which he is pan handling underneath a billboard that displays
him and the rest of his Fugees counterparts.

He also describes one of the hardest things of being homeless is that when
a person is homeless people don’t even acknowledge them. He talks about
how people try to pretend that homeless people aren’t around, the act like
“they don’t exist.” He goes on to state that “when they don’t see you,
the glamorous life, no one cares.”

You can watch the entire interview tonight on “Tavis Smiley.” For show
times in your area you can go to http://www.pbs.org/kcet/tavissmiley/.
You can also get a copy of the transcripts and an audio podcast for the
show on the web site.

Shannfab - Red Eyed Fly - August 23, 2007

From the "the big day's coming" department... Shannfab @ Red Eyed Fly on Aug 23rd, Thursday, @ 10pm.

Check out the interview to learn a little more about Shannfab...

Have a good weekend everyone...



More info:

Shann•fab (shann fab), n. more commonly known as a nuclear explosion, occurs as a result of the rapid release of energy from an uncontrolled nuclear reaction. The driving reaction may be nuclear fission or nuclear fusion or a multi stage cascade of both.

The degree to which Shannfab succeeds in this race determines its efficiency. Poorly designed or malfunctioning Shannfab may "fizzle" and release only a tiny fraction of its potential energy.

The primary application to date has been military i.e. USO shows, however, there are potential other applications which have not yet been applied...

Shannfab has been environmentally tested at the Dirty Dog, the Copa Bar, Caribbean Lights, the Factory Haunt, and the Red Eyed Fly in Austin Texas.

So I'm in a class these next couple days learning about how to be a better presenter. I would highly recommend everyone take such a class, especially, if you'd like to move up in the world. Effective communication and the ability to convey knowledge is essential in today's work environment. I wouldn't confine it to work either... everyday life. I'm wondering how I can use what I've learned to make Austin Hip-Hop Scene better...

More info:

The Air Force 1 athletic shoe, is a product of Nike, Inc. [1] created by designer Bruce Kilgore. This was the first basketball shoe to use the Nike Air technology.[2]

The name is a reference to Air Force One, the plane that carries the President of the United States. The shoes are sold in three different types: the low, the mid-top, and the high-top and come in many different colourways, forms, textures, and patterns. The two most common forms of the Air Force 1's are the all white and, all black pairs. The Mid-Top Air Force 1 is a variation of the shoe and comes with a non-removable strap and a higher top.

The Air Force 1 was produced in 1982 and discontinued the following year. It was re-released in 1986 with the modern italic Nike logo with a swoosh on the bottom on the back of the shoe. Little has changed to the Air Force One since its creation in 1982, although the original stitching on the side panels is no longer present in modern versions of the shoe. Since then, over 1,700 color variations have been produced, bringing in an estimated 800 million USD/yr in revenue.[1][3] The selling of the Air Force Ones online by certain retailers is prohibited by Nike who has restricted supply of the sneaker.[4]

Nike Air Force 1s were originally considered the favored shoe of hip-hop artists and basketballers and street players. Rappers Nelly, Murphy Lee, Ali and Kyjuan collaborated on a 2002 single about the shoes. The shoe transcended its status from purely a basketball shoe to becoming "the shoe that can be worn anywhere".

The "Air Force 2" shoe introduced in 1987 is a newer variation of the original. The shoe is a typical flat soled, casual-wear sneaker that can be made in many different variations of colors. Also, Air Force 2s were re-released internationally in the early 2000's. They can be made in either the low-cut or high-top style. The shoe can be custom made in any color, but typically it has either a white or black based background color with almost any color used to fill in the Nike Swoosh and back heel.

OUT OF THE CLUB, HIP HOP TAKES STAGE
By Gynae Davalos
© 2007

He’s given us My Child, My Child, My Alien Child and followed it with B-Boy Bluez. So what does Zell Miller III have up his sleeves this summer at the Vortex?

Breakdancers on skates, champion poets, hip hop musicians, and so much more.

It’s The Hip Hop Theater Explosion starting this Thursday at 8 pm. Packed with amazing hip hop performers, it will take three whole nights to watch them all!

This year, Miller’s show is for more than just entertainment. It’s about forming relationships, building a stronger community, and putting Austin hip hop under a different kind of spotlight - all in classic Miller style.

“For theater-goers, the next time they hear hip hop, they’ll remember this amazing thing they saw at the Vortex and have a different attitude about it,” says Miller. “There is an amazing culture of young people doing this work and it’s not all about the ‘bling bling’ and being derogatory toward women. It’s positive, it’s beautiful and creative.”

By blending his love for hip hop culture with his passion for theater arts, Miller hopes other theaters will join in the phenomenon exploding around the country. Hip Hop Theater itself is not a new “trend” in the theater circuit. Danny Hoch and Will Power are two pioneers responsible for bringing hip hop out of the club and onto the stage.

An actor, playwright and director, Hoch (dannyhoch.com) founded the Hip-Hop Theater Festival in 2000 and has received numerous awards for his work, such as the Sundance Writers Fellowship and two OBIES. Power (willpower.tv), also an actor and playwright, rapper and educator, performs an internationally-acclaimed solo show entitled, “FLOW,” that combines his original music, rhyming, and hip hop choreography. His awards include the 2006 Peter Zeisler Memorial Award, 2004 Jury Award for Best Theatre Performance at the HBO Comedy Arts Festival, and the NYFA Fellowship, among others.

In this latest hip hop masterpiece, Miller will be giving the audience, “just a taste of the enormous talent that’s living right under their noses.”

It’s also a showcase of the talent Miller has inspired through his many poetry/workshops and volunteer mentoring sessions.

One such performer is Jeffery Johnson Jr. He met Miller at a play audition when he was 14-years-old. Currently representing the city of Austin in the 2007 National Poetry Slam, Johnson helps kids at Lifeworks, a non-profit social services agency. As Da’Shade Moonbeam, he’s also one half of hip hop duo Blacklisted Individuals, who are in the running for the $10,000 prize on Famecast.com.

Education being an important function of hip hop culture, Johnson took what he learned from Miller and passed the torch along to Chris Floyd. They met at one of Miller’s workshops at Reagan High School two years ago. Floyd recently returned from Brazil as part of an international cultural exchange program. Performing Thursday as Gator of four-man crew Public Offenders, the 21-year-old has taught workshops on how to use spoken word as a way to motivate teens and is also an instructor at the 21st Century After School program.

Miller has a budget of $0 for the show, but knows the performers are doing it for the love of the culture.

Johnson says, “This is something that is long overdue in our community. This will revitalize people’s interest in theater arts in Austin period.”

It also provides the hip hop community with an opportunity to gather under unique circumstances in a different space. Along with several vendors, the three-night event will be bringing people together that might not have had the chance to meet.

“Anybody creating work, whether graf writing, breakdancing, or DJ-ing, all that can be turned into theater,” explains Miller.

For those that prefer to appreciate hip hop from a comfy theater seat and on stage, this show is for you. For those in the hip hop community, it’s added proof of the culture’s reach and impact on today’s generation.

This hip hop theater piece is for the whole family and you can even pick your own ticket price, starting at $10. All donations will go toward paying back the artists.
