Playlist: 08/26/10 - Artist Spotlight on Outkast

Date: 08/26/10

Notes: Throughout it's lifespan, hip-hop has been predominately represented in terms of east and west coast. That all changed in 1994 when two dope boys in a cadillac dropped the hip-hop classic known as, "Southerplayalisticadillacmuzik." This week, ThaiMex and Santanna Hill decided to highlight the careers of Andre 3000 & Big Boi... better known as the duo called Outkast.

Date: 08/19/10

Note(s): Undoubtedly established as one of hip-hop’s innovators and greats both through his work as a member of A Tribe Called Quest and as a solo artist, this is a night that instead features work Q-Tip has done for releases outside of his own body of work. From hip-hop to r&b, jazz to latin music, Q-Tip has been placing his unique sense of rhythm and vibe on music listeners since 1987.

Again on a solo mission, ThaiMex decided to show the level of influence Q-Tip has on music in creating a vibe. Although there is a rich history that has been created by Q-Tip's creative endeavors, ThaiMex decided not to play a single song by A Tribe Called Quest or Q-Tip's solo body of work to prove his point. Instead, he played songs by everyone else that featured Q-Tip.

Playlist: 08/12/10 - Artist Spotlight on The Pharcyde

Date: 08/12/10

Note(s): The beginning of the 1990's was a time of a lot of movement for hip-hop in general but particularly in the West Coast. This era brought about a new mentality among the California scene as artists focused on lyrical precision and artistry. Among some of those to emerge were Project Blowed, Hieroglyphics and, of course, Imani, Bootie Brown, Fatlip and SlimKid3; we are talking about none other than The Pharcyde!

ThaiMex and Santanna Hill decided to shine a spotlight, play some music, and provide commentary on the crew from Los Angeles that has been active hip-hop, both as a group and as soloists in a number of ways since at least 1990.

Date: 07/08/10

Note(s): Shifting gears a bit, Santanna Hill decided to put ThaiMex on the spot and perform an interview with him in light of the release of his new album entitled, "Brand New Starts" that was released on 07/06/10 and is available on iTunes and Amazon.

Note(s): The “King of Pop” passed away on June 25, 2009. Although his influence goes much farther than anyone would ever be able to cover in two hours, your folks at The Barbershop decided to pay a little tribute to Mr. Michael Joseph Jackson by playing some of his music and some of the sounds, songs, and artists he has influenced on the eve of the 1-year anniversary of his passing. We hope that at some point during the night, everyone found the time to make a couple spins, attempt a moonwalk, grab their crotch and scream out of respect for him.

Guest DJ Low-L came through to fill in and provide some additional insight regarding the King of Pop due to Santanna Hill's work-related absence.

Note(s): For no particular reason at all, ThaiMex and Santanna Hill decided to dig a little deeper and play some older songs from the foundation of hip-hop. The date range for this particular list is from about 1983-1989. They specifically DID NOT want to play anything from the 1990's this evening.

They also came to the realization, two hours just doesn't seem long enough anymore... hmm... what could that mean moving forward?

Note(s): ThaiMex and Santanna Hill decided to take it light and chill this evening with a collective that mostly share sign of Aquarius as well as share a common interest for the unconventional, offbeat rhythms, irregular chords, and other traits often exhibited by underground urban music. An amazing powerhouse of artists, we are talking of none other than The Soulquarians. Although there seems to be no "official" or "definitive" word on this association, you can find a pretty good write-up about them HERE.

Based on the number of both core and peripheral members, ThaiMex and Santanna Hill came to the conclusion there could probably be a "Part 2" to this show. For now, enjoy the playlist they provided for the night:

Playlist: 06/03/10 - Producer's Spotlight on Easy Mo Bee

Date: 06/03/10

Note(s): A discussion between ThaiMex and Santanna Hill led to an inquiry which led to a realization: Easy Mo Bee was killin' it in the mid- to late-90's!!! Your boys at The Barbershop decided to shine a Producer Spotlight on the man who, whether you realized it or not, had your head nodding the hardest from about 1994-1998.

His career has been long-ranging as it appears he was somewhat of an in-house producer for Cold Chillin' records in the late 80's and is undoubtedly a major force behind the establishment of Bad Boy's flagship artists, Craig Mack and The Notorious B.I.G.

ThaiMex picked up the album and, being a liner-notes type of guy, noticed that the whole thing was produced by Hi-Tek.
