Seven Minutes Of Potpourri

By Da Emazing One • Aug 27th, 2008 • Category: Wheels of Steel

That damn Bloodsucking Corporate Machine! Here I am hired to DJ at one of the biggest jams of my life, and it doesn’t feel right. I mean something is way off! I am playing all of the popular songs, but it smells too good in here! For some reason this crowd likes dancing to this [...]

By Q Ball • Aug 26th, 2008 • Category: Wheels of Steel

Mark your calendar on September 26 and 27, Friday and Saturday, for the 2008 DMC World DJ Championship finals in London, England at the Indig02. If you are in the United Kingdom, you already have heard the tickets are sold out by now, but I am sure you know a cousin of a friend’s [...]

Missing in Hip Hop music today, in my opinion, are two types of rhymes. Before I tell you what they are in a question, I want everyone to understand this is a simple message for up and coming MCs, rap artists, and rappers. If you know one please send him this message. If you are [...]

Subject Matters

By Da Emazing One • Aug 6th, 2008 • Category: Mic Check

Has anyone notice that it seems rappers of today have few subject matters to rap about? They either have what I call skirt chasing lyrics, political lyrics, or material lyrics. I can’t be the only one who wants to give their lyrics the benefit of the doubt, but I always end up tuning them out! [...]



The Rock The Bells Festival Is All In The Family

By Q Ball • Aug 4th, 2008 • Category: Feature Articles

It was a family reunion on a long and hot summer day in downtown Miami, Florida. A typical family reunion where you find elders with the peppery white hair all the way down to the little ones entering pre-school. You had people giving hugs and pounds who haven’t seen each other in a very long [...]
