Know The Ledge

juice movie

Yesterday was September 13th (no shit, right?). A lot of us watched the VMAs to witness all the debauchery that went on there. You had Janet‘s great tribute to Michael, Kanye being a dickhead of the highest order, Beyonce regulating and giving Taylor Swift her shine, and finally Caster Semenya Lil’ Mama randomly jumpin’ up on stage during the Jay/Alicia performance. Of course, the VMA’s are a little out of place on MTV these days, seeing as how music is involved and all, but that’s neither here nor there.

But yesterday was also notable for another reason- it was the 13th anniversary to the day Tupac Shakur died. I still remember that entire week he got shot- from not even thinking he was gonna die, to hearing about his health failing, to finally hearing the announcement on the radio that Friday night. It was something kinda unreal. There had been some rappers who died by that time, but none of that magnitude and in the way that it happened.

bishop

One of my earliest recollections of ‘Pac (aside from rockin’ all that tribal shit) was seeing him in one of my favorite movies, Juice. In addition to being a rapper, ‘Pac was also a classically trained actor (right here in B-More!) who pulled off a few quality performances. He didn’t really get to maximize that talent- partly because his actions and reputation got him pulled from some movies, and also because he was being typecast in the ones he did get to be in.

Juice dropped in early ’92, and I didn’t get to catch this one in the movies. I caught it once it hit video that fall, and it immediately became a favorite of mine. The hip-hop element is prevalent in the movie, but it never falls all the way into being about that. If anything, it’s more like the backdrop to the story. Watching it now, there’s a lot of nostalgia involved because it did cover that ground more than any other movie around that era. The music (obviously) stands out the most, as do the cameos by Queen Latifah, EPMD, Fab 5 Freddy, Special Ed, etc.

bishop q

But it’s not all about the rappers, of course. Omar Epps makes his debut here as “Q”, in a role that specifically interested me due to his being a DJ. I wouldn’t say those scenes were the sole inspiration, but with me being 12 years old at the time, they definitely piqued my interest in spinning. Ya man Jermaine Hopkins makes an epic return here as Steel, once again defying the odds. He managed to be fat while smoking crack in Lean On Me, and here he manages to be the only person Bishop shoots and doesn’t kill. We also get Cindy Herron of En Vogue as Q’s girlfriend, Khalil Kain as Raheem, and Samuel Jackson as the oldhead who runs the pool hall.

But ‘Pac’s portrayal as Bishop stands out above all as the thing that solidifies the movie. It was a role he wasn’t even scheduled to be up for, but he owned it once he got it. To me, it’s the best performance he ever gave. He was on his job in most of his other roles as well, but none of them top the Bishop character. Bishop was like the villain and an antihero at once- he was fucked up for killing Raheem, but then he was the shit when he finally got one-up on the Puerto Rican gang leader Radames. It’s easy to see why so many people linked Tupac as an individual to that character he played.

wrecking crew

Juice is by definition a “hood movie”, but it’s the kind of story that could’ve just as easily been about four white kids in the suburbs. The dialogue would probably be a lot different, but it’s a movie that has less to do with being “hood” than it does with the storyline itself. More than anything, it’s about how easily respect and fear can be confused, and how someone with no couth can go to extreme lengths to attain either one.

Things To Learn From Watching Juice: 1) Just ’cause you pour syrup on shit don’t make it pancakes. 2) If you have no money to buy music, you can have your friends sneak it out of the store while you distract the cashier by arranging a date with her. Or, since it’s 2009, you could just download it. 3) If you and your three friends stick around to back up some idiot who’s attempting to shoot it out with the police, there will be five dead niggas instead of one. 4) Do not attempt to grab a gun from someone who has pointed it at you and instructed you not to do so. 5) Bishop don’t give a fuck about you, he don’t give a fuck about Steel and he don’t give a fuck about Raheem either. Bishop ain’t shit, and he ain’t never gon’ be shit. And you’re less of a man than him, so when he decides that YOU ain’t gonna be SHIT… pow.

Music From Juice:

Eric B & Rakim “Juice (Know The Ledge)”

Aaron Hall “Don’t Be Afraid”

Naughty By Nature “Uptown Anthem”

Teddy Riley feat. Tammy Lucas “Is It Good To You?”

Summer Seven Series: 1997

08/10/2009

grad

So… on June 10, 1997, I graduated completed high school and went the hell home, glad to be up outta there. My senior year was on some straight bullshit, and I was definitely given a hard way to go through that whole ride. Finally, I was out, with not a clue as to what my next move was. Meanwhile, I figured I might as well enjoy the summer… why not?

technics1200

During this time, I started DJing at parties with a dude from my old neighborhood named Troy Rock, who I always used to bug when I was younger. He was the DJ around there, and I was just a lil’ kid asking him to make tapes for me and shit like that. By ’97, I was good enough to play at parties, so I took advantage of the opportunity. I didn’t get paid much, but I was more pumped off having the chance to play in front of people and use the Technics 1200s.

But my main focus was still rappin’, and I was really ready to put a lot of time into that. I knew a couple of producers around this time, so I was trying to work with them and get things off the ground. My Plan A and Plan B at that time were both in music. I was gonna work on my own music, and get money by DJing- anything else wasn’t of my concern. I even remember a meeting at school shortly before I graduated completed, at which I told the administrators that THOSE were my plans. “Well don’t you think you should get work or go to school?” Nope, I was gonna rap and spin. Ohhh, the naivete.

surge!

In the midst of all that, I was up to my same madness. I was halfway dealin’ with a girl named Tasha (in the grad pic) by this point, but mainly on the field. I wasn’t partial to drinking yet, but I stayed smokin’ with my brother and his cast of characters. I actually liked listening to the radio, and of course I was still watching videos. I wanted to start goin’ to the 17+ clubs around this time, but I never actually went. I wasn’t much into dancing, and I didn’t fukk with Baltimore Club music too hard… so I wasn’t gonna go there and hold up the wall. Just wasn’t my thing.

I really had no idea what I was gonna do except buy more notebooks and more records. My life plan was hare-brained at best, but hell if I didn’t decide to go with it. I don’t really regret it, but I probably woulda done it differently in retrospect. At the time, I was just in my own zone- drinkin’ Surge, smokin’ weed, writin’ lyrics, and askin’ questions later.

wu triumph

The Danj! Summer Seven of 1997 (NOTE: Life After Death is exempt from this list- I ran that WHOLE thing just as much as I did these seven.):

Busta Rhymes “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See”: Honestly, I thought this shit was wack the first time I heard it. The second, third, fourth…? You couldn’t tell me it wasn’t the shit. What the dealy, yo?

Puff Daddy feat. The Notorious B.I.G., Lil’ Kim, & The LOX “It’s All About The Benjamins”: Of course, everyone in the know had been rockin’ with the Puff/LOX version since the previous winter… but those extra Kim and B.I.G. verses took it from hot to classic.

Dru Hill feat. Jermaine Dupri & Da Brat “In My Bed (Remix)”: B-More’s favorite R&B group in the whole wide wide world was Dru Hill in ’97, and it was undeniable. They were battin’ .1000, and this remix only added on.

Wu-Tang Clan “Triumph”: That Wu-Tang Forever joint was a lil’ hit-and-miss for me, but they came out swingin’ with the lead single. Also, the video had me on some “wow” shit for a minute there.

Royal Flush feat. Noreaga “Iced Down Medallions”: Heard it on 88.9 late one Friday night… from there on out, prob’ly listened to it at least once a day that whole summer.

Scarface feat. 2Pac “Smile”: One of ‘Face’s best records ever, although ‘Pac pretty much owns it. And nah, that wasn’t him in the video.

Lauryn Hill “The Sweetest Thing”: …and nah, wasn’t him in this one either. But “Ms. Hill” continued building on her stardom with this one, a year before she would REALLY shut it down with the Miseducation.

Summer Seven Series: 1996

08/03/2009

danj!

’96… what a summer. By then, I was starting to perform at showcases here-n-there, improving with the DJing, and generally enjoying my responsibility-free life. I wasn’t rockin’ with Aisha around that time, but I was off into other stuff (so to speak) and lookin’ forward to my senior year.

bigblunts

I still remember the last day of school, riding home on the bus listening to Lost Boyz’ Legal Drug Money. That same day, I went to my father’s house in Bel Air and chilled out there with my little younger brother Erin for a good 2-3 weeks. That was an interesting lil’ “vacation” because it was the first (and 5th, and 10th) time I smoked weed. It was also interesting because this nigga hung around all kinds of muh’fukkas. So we’d do anything from smokin’ with this grungy, Grateful Dead-shirt wearin’ kid to chillin’ with some lil’ rich girl who stayed in her parents’ liquor cabinet. It was some different shit for me, but I wasn’t mad at it.

I also spent a lot of time at Music Liberated on Saratoga St. that summer. That was where a lot of DJ’s around town went for records, because they always had them before most other stores. I was trying to make some kinda breakthrough by meeting people and getting my tapes heard, so I would hang out at the store, sometimes just to listen to records all day. I’d also occasionally make copies of a tape, go up there, and give them to everybody at the store for the fuck of it.

The one thing I remember most about the summer of ’96 was my homegirl Jada. At that point, she was the only girl I knew that I could talk music with, not to mention the only girl I actually liked talkin’ to for hours at a time. It was nothin’ for us to start a phone conversation at 10 p.m. and finally end it as the sun was coming up. It didn’t matter if the convo was about something as simple as how funny Chris Rock’s Bring The Pain was- we’d talk all night like we hadn’t spoken in years. We had lil’ sayings/inside jokes, passed notes in school all the time, and rarely went one full day without callin’ each other.

It’s wild in hindsight, because even though it never went past cool-level, everybody around us didn’t seem to wanna believe that. People in school SWORE we were GTD-in’, my friends thought I was in love with her, and her friends didn’t understand why we didn’t get together. I def. wouldn’t have minded, but we were just cool-as-fukk, because we had a lot of similar interests (and common enemies). Sometimes I think it was thisclose to gettin’ there… but a poor choice of words on my behalf deaded whatever chance existed, and from there things broke down FAST. By September, we were in the hallway at school exchanging “fuck you”‘s like ‘Pac and Janet in Poetic Justice.

There’s a GANG of songs from ’96 (including the seven featured this week) that always remind me of Jada to this day. I mean, I don’t sit around obsessing over her all the time, but the songs remind me because we always had the radio on in the background whenever we talked on the phone. I’ll always remember that summer for how tight we were. Well, that and the obscene amount of weed I smoked with E.

total

The Danj! Summer Seven Of 1996 (Want ‘em? Freakin’ click ‘em):

2Pac “Hit ‘Em Up”: I’ll always maintain that I was a bigger fan of B.I.G. than I was of ‘Pac. But damn if I didn’t play this to death. That rant at the end is timeless.

Case feat. Foxy Brown “Touch Me, Tease Me”: Young Inga meets some random new R&B cat, and a classic is made. And for the record, the faces this nigga Case makes in the video used to have me geekin’.

Jay-Z feat. Foxy Brown “Ain’t No Nigga”: More Young Inga! Here, she meets some random kinda-new rap dude, and a classic is made. Who coulda correctly guessed which one would end up being the bigger star?

Nas feat. Lauryn Hill “If I Ruled The World”: Nas might have caught a lil’ flack for going mainstream-ish with It Was Written, but he made it count with this joint (especially with Lauryn on the hook). I miss Ms. Hill.

Gina Thompson feat. Missy Elliott “The Things You Do” (Bad Boy Remix): Hee-hee-hee-hee-how-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-HOW the hell did that line catch on like it did? Who knows, but this shit was hot.

LL Cool J feat. Total “Loungin” (Remix): Of course, I love most of those old ’90s-jack-the-’80s joints, and this might be one of my favorites. Who do you love?

Total feat. Puff Daddy “Kissing You (Oh Honey)”: More Total! This song never fails to make me nostalgic- even the video has “summer ’96″ written all over it.

AND IN CASE YOU MISSED ‘EM: The other Summer Sevens are HERE.

Summer Seven Series: 1993

07/13/2009

radioraheem

Wild as it is, in ’93, a year like 1977 seemed like ancient history to me. Now here I am in 2009, realizing that a 13-year-old on his way to 14 (as I was at the time) probably looks at ’93 the same way. Good God Damn… 16 years! Wow.

strapped

This summer was a turning point for me because I was headed into high school, and I was gettin’ “serious” about music. I wouldn’t say I was serious in terms of having a clue about the business or recording in a studio, but I was at a point where I wanted to take it further than my room. Me and my boy Ray started rappin’ around the same time, so we grouped up and called ourselves Crhyme Inc. I was writing my lyrics and his, and we were always working on our lil’ homemade tapes everytime we hung out. Most of our summer consisted of making tapes, watching Strapped a million times, and listening to DJ Celo & Iran on 93.9 every weekend.

I know it’s cliche, but I was really about living it at the time. Looking back, I was a little “extra” with it, but that’s how crazy about it I was. I would do things like walk around with a knapsack full of tapes and my radio turned all the way up, on some young Radio Raheem shit, just because I thought it was the most hip-hop thing to do. I even remember one time going to someone’s party with my Walkman and just listening to tapes while everybody else was socializing. Totally obnoxious, absolutely self-absorbed… but genuinely in love with the music and the lifestyle- that’s the best way I could describe how I was.

CRYSTAL

Outside of music-related stuff, I was still trying to be older than I was. I liked the fact that I was on the way to high school, because I was always ready to break out of being “young”. I was still immature as shit, but I had my own skewed views of growing up, so I was glad to be out of middle school. It was so major to me, I wanted to have a whole new style and everything. I even went and got myself a baldie, which was NERVOUS- I had no business havin’ a haircut that made my big-ass head more obvious.

By the end of the summer, for whatever reason, I thought I was just gonna walk into high school and be the end-all be-all. I thought I was gonna style on niggas with my bandanas and hoodies, like nobody else was dressing the same way or some shit. I snapped out of that, but you still couldn’t tell me I couldn’t beat the world. I actually wish I had maintained a little of that brashness as the years went on. Either way, for the time being, I was coming of age.

swvrighthere

The Danj! Summer Seven of 1993:

2Pac featuring Shock G & Money B “I Get Around”: Originally meant to be a Digital Underground song that featured ‘Pac, DU gave it to him and changed his whole career in the process. MAJOR record for that whole summer.

Kool G Rap & DJ Polo “On The Run” (Dirty Untouchable Remix): A good two years before NY rappers started jumping headfirst into the whole organized crime thing, G had it in a smash with this one.

SWV “Right Here (Human Nature)”: MJ‘s classic gets reworked for the Sisters With Voices to create a classic of their own. Shoutout to Pharrell with the famous “S, S, double, double” adlib.

Ice Cube “Check Yo’ Self” (Remix): O’Shea channels “The Message” and sends a message of his own, in classic Cube fashion. Bitch, you betta run a check.

The Beatnuts “Reign Of The Tec”: I was hardly gangsta, but damn if hearing Juju say “yo, I’ll shoot ya moms if I have to” didn’t make me screw my face up a lil’ harder every time I heard it.

Christopher Williams “Every Little Thing U Do” (Remix): The “DWYCK” beat rocks for a whole ‘nother summer, courtesy of “the educated brotha from the bank”.

MC Breed featuring 2Pac “Gotta Get Mine”: Breed and ‘Pac drop the “get-yours” anthem for the year (not to mention, the “Thug Life” tattoo makes its debut in this video) R.I.P. to both.

IN CASE YOU MISSED ‘EM: Summer Seven 1990… and 1991… and 1992.

Hell-Raisin’ Heavenly Son

06/16/2009

tupac

“June 16, 1971/ Mama gave birth to a Hell-raisin’ heavenly son…”

On every March 9th and September 13th, people go hard with the Biggie and ‘Pac tributes, commemorating their deaths. But on their birthdays, you hardly hear shit. As one who opts to celebrate life rather than mourn death (as I’ve been doing in my own life since Friday), I’d be remiss to not acknowledge that today would be ‘Pac’s 38th birthday. This will likely not be the last mention he gets on this blog by a longshot, but there’s no better day than today to speak on the legend that is Tupac Shakur.

One reason that I’m proud to have grown up in the ’80s and ’90s is because I was there to witness so many now-iconic artists from day one. Michael Jackson, for example, is one of my absolute all-time favorites- but I’ll never be able to say I saw him grow up and become who he became. I can say that, however, about artists such as ‘Pac. The first time I saw and heard him was in Digital Underground‘s “Same Song” video, with the crazy kente cloth and beads and shit. A year later, I was more familiar with him when he starred in Juice as Bishop (and of course, I’ll be speaking on that movie in due time). But the first time I was interested in ‘Pac as a rapper was during a weekend at my father’s house in 1992. My sister and I watched The Box regularly, and this one new video stayed getting requested that whole weekend: “Brenda’s Got A Baby”.

pac hoodie

From that point on, the name 2Pac was cemented and it was far from the last time I’d see it. Whether it was news headlines, movies, magazine covers, or the tapes in my bookbag- it was always somewhere. That, to me, is THE thing that makes him the huge icon that he is.

There’s lots of great MCs that are known and respected off the merit of their music and their music only, which is admirable… but nobody cares about shit else that they did. With ‘Pac, he was always a part of moments and happenings, in addition to the music. He was one of those artists who’d have an interview in a magazine just like anyone else did, but HIS article would be like a must-read. His VIBE cover stories in particular are classic today- from the “Is Tupac Crazy Or Just Misunderstood” cover with the straitjacket to the “Live From Death Row” one with Suge, Dre, and Snoop. I recall being a bigger fan of other artists at the time, but I’d never read their articles and come away with half the quotables that ‘Pac was always good for.

tupac_spit

Of course, he’s been referred to as the “realest nigga” in hip-hop, and I’d have to agree to a degree. Whether they were always good decisions or not may be up for debate, but ‘Pac did things that others just rapped about. Whereas other artists were content to say “fuck the media”, he was content to spit at their cameras. Whereas others were content to threaten fuckin’ up the police who’d harrassed them, he was content to shoot two in self-defense. Again, not necessarily great achievements, but he was true to his word. He stood by his disses, he didn’t give PC answers, and he generally said and did whatever he wanted. And on the other side of that, he also said things that were honest and relevant, so it wasn’t just about wildin’ out all the time.

And then, there’s the music. Being dead-honest, and reflecting my own opinions: I always thought he coulda had better beats, his first two albums are hit-and-miss, I don’t bother with most of those posthumous made-up shits that keep coming out every year or so, and he was never my absolute favorite. I tell people all the time that I’m a fan of Tupac, but I’m not a “Tupac Fan” (two different things entirely). But ‘Pac’s best material is some of THE most timeless and memorable of the era. He’s also one of a few who continued getting better as time went on. The music he was making between ’95 and ’96 stands as his best overall, and from the sounds of the Makaveli album, he was heading into some interesting directions lyrically.

Tupac-Source-Magazine-Cover

From challenging the New York rap scene to giving interviews from prison, from beating up the Hughes Brothers to getting shot at the studio, Tupac’s every move was a big deal. There’s not a lot of artists past or present that you can say that about. Even in today’s TMZ world, a lot of those things get captured and forgotten a week later. His are still being remembered today by people everywhere.

“Brenda’s Got A Baby” (1991)

“If My Homies Call” (1991)

“Papa’z Song” (1993)

“Pain” (1994)

“Cradle To The Grave” (1994)

“If I Die 2Nite” (1995)

“Ambitionz Az A Ridah” (1996)

“No More Pain” (1996)

“Against All Odds” (1996)

“Who Do You Believe In” (1996)

It’s The Posse! Part II

06/06/2009

posse2

As weeeee proceeeeed… shoutout to Arsenio’s “Posse”… more of my favorites from of course, the ’90s:

“I Shot Ya (Remix)”- LL Cool J feat. Keith Murray, Prodigy, Fat Joe, & Foxy Brown (1995): Shit was undeniable. First of all, the track itself was crazy and built to be killed by someone capable of doing so, which all five MCs seemed to be aiming for. Murray opened things with a bang. Mobb Deep’s Prodigy followed with lyrics that I doubt he could write today to save his life. Joe came through much-improved from his prior work. Foxy made her debut and nearly stole the show. And then, LL KILLED IT. L had a point to prove with his rhyme, and he did just that. I remember people bein’ surprised at how hard L went. I never understood the shock, but maybe it’s because last time they’d heard him, he was “heeshee, blowticious, skeevy, delicious”… ?

pacredbig

“Got My Mind Made Up”- 2Pac feat. Tha Dogg Pound, Method Man, & Redman (1996): Daz (who produced the track) could’ve given his spot up to someone else… but everyone else brought it. One of the tracks that pulled me into All Eyez On Me (because I was NOT diggin’ “California Love” at all), “…Mind Made Up” is still a favorite of mine. It also proves to dispel the incorrect belief that ‘Pac hated the East Coast during this time. Meth and Red, fresh off of their first collab “How High”, continued to exhibit the power of their combined talents. Kurupt turned in another in what was then a consistent number of solid guest verses, and ‘Pac sounded quite determined to not be outdone. Personally, I’d give this one to Red’s verse, but I wouldn’t be mad if someone else preferred ‘Pac’s.

“John Blaze”- Fat Joe feat. Nas, Big Pun, Jadakiss, & Raekwon (1998): No dis, but if there was ever a rapper unlikely to go the distance in the rap game, it was Joe when he debuted in ’93. By ’98, he was primarily involved in pushing his man Big Pun into the spotlight. Once that was solidified, Joe went back in to drop his third album, Don Cartagena, which featured this joint. All the guests do their thing here, with Jadakiss’ raspy flow continuing to shine on every track he touched. Who knows what Raekwon was talkin’ about, but his flow was still thorough. Nas, who was phoning it in a LOT around this time, came with his A-game here. But the edge goes to Pun, off the strength of “even if I stuttered, I would still sh-sh-shit on you”. Punisher was killin’ it in ’98 before his size and health started taking a lot out of him, vocally and of course, physically.

pun

“Banned From TV”- Noreaga feat. Nature, Big Pun, Cam’ron, & The Lox (1998): Around ’98, as I mentioned before, there was a new wave of artists coming up. Most of these were rappers who’d gotten most of their early shine on the mixtape circuit, then led by DJ Clue. Out of that new wave came “Banned From TV” by Noreaga, a.k.a. N.O.R.E. This one was major, especially due to Swizz Beatz providing what is still one of his best tracks ever. Everyone goes for it, with the back-n-forth teamwork of Jada & Styles nearly taking the cake. But Pun takes it again with “disrespect and watch ya body cave in, pump the shottie gauge and hit ya shorty while he potty-trainin’”. On a side note, Nore’s never been the most immaculate lyricist, but damn if his verse isn’t entertaining as hell. HTF is Hennessey STRAIGHT if it’s “with tomato juice”?

“Don’t Curse”- Heavy D feat. Kool G Rap, Grand Puba, Pete Rock, CL Smooth, Big Daddy Kane, & Q-Tip (1991): Known for being on the lighter side of hip-hop (no complexion joke), Heavy was a formidable MC. Much of his music was aimed in a more R&B direction, which may be why he tends to be left out of those “golden age” convos. But Hev got a lot of love from others in the game, as was shown on “Don’t Curse”. Here, he collabs with some of hip-hop’s best of the time on a track where almost everyone teases curse words but never actually says one. Not even a wack Pete Rock verse nor Kane rocking a damn purple matador suit in the video could stop this song from bein’ my shhh… stuff. Oh, and G RAP for the win.

(KRS would say) “We’re not done… we’re not done!” I’ll be revisiting this topic again sometime down the line, as there are more that I plan to speak on in the future. For now, I’ll leave it here. Feel free to name some of YOUR favorites in the comment section. Meanwhile, go ‘head and enjoy:

“I Shot Ya” (Remix) (1995)

“Got My Mind Made Up” (1996)

“John Blaze” (1998)

“Banned From TV” (1998)

“Don’t Curse” (1991)
