Thug Life – Shit Don’t Stop
this is a madd flashback. i never knew there was a video for this joint. i used to hear this on our local hiphop radio show back in the day ‘morning drive-by’ hosted by maximus clean.
it’s videos like this that put some things into perspective for me. seeing these broads dressed so thugged out and acting hard. you would never catch that shit in vancouver at all.
a couple of my favorite parts to this video are when they are rapping in the cave and partying madd hard. who made that desicion.? haha
plus at 1:30-1:36 where the dude on the far left is hanging on the window bars just jamming out doing his jig. he just seems so silly for doing so. imo.
The Eclectic Mouse
http://www.zshare.net/download/126126680d91af5f/
Eclectic Mouse is JOE N. CORRAL – flute, BARRY DOWNS – trumpet, TIM DOWNS – drums, KRISTEN ENGSTRAND – piano & organ, RICK FELIX – tuba (Yes, tuba!), STEVE FORMAN – percussion, BILLY GONZALES – trumpet, BEN HARVEY – trombone, DENNIS LYNDE – guitar, JERRY MANFREDI – bass, JOHN RENNER – tenor sax, ERNIE SANTOS – alto sax, JOHN SMART – french horn (Yes, that too!).
From Fuzz, Acid & Flowers by Vernon Joynson:
“Nicely packaged to look like an EMI or Harvest import (just so we knew it was sophisticated) this concept album is basically the vision of one individual… Steve Forman. Subtitled “Suite for voice, wind ensemble, percussion and electric instruments” it fits into an odd catagory of big band music that was at the same time ambitious and experimental in all the best ways one could be at the end of the sixties. A very interesting record, not always rock or psych – there are no fuzz guitars (well maybe once) and sometimes there are effects on the vocals. Lyrically it is “deep”, stylistically eclectic. Kind of like Lionel Bart directing a Three Dog Night / Grand Wazoo collaboration with Gary Usher producing. There are no song titles, just six movements.
“A quote from the inner sleeve notes: “Musicians are challenging the long accepted borders separating popular and intellectual music, expanding the musical vocabulary on both sides. The styles are blending and the stereotypes are disappearing. Today’s competent American musician must be as familiar with Eric Clapton and Sly Stone as with Beethoven and Bartok, Miles Davis and Oliver Nelson, Jim Webb or Buck Owens. Past predjudices within the industry are becoming myths…”. It was recorded in Arizona.

Album information
The sound of their debut is characteristic of the distinct style explored by the collective, including a rhyme scheme based on internal rhyme and beats centered around a live bass and obscure jazz and funk samples. 93 ’til Infinity is often heralded as the best album to come out of the Heiro Golden Age, a period in the early-to-mid-nineties during which the collective released several critically acclaimed albums (including Del tha Funkee Homosapien’s No Need for Alarm and Casual’s Fear Itself) and rose to national prominence.
93 ’til Infinity was propelled into success by its title track and lead single, which reached #72 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also featured singles “That’s When Ya Lost” and “Never No More” which reached the Hot Rap Singles, but never charted on The Billboard Hot 100. According to All Music Guide author Steve Huey, “Although the title cut is an underappreciated classic, 93 ’til Infinity makes its greatest impression through its stunning consistency, not individual highlights.”[1] Huey also goes on to remark that 93 ’til Infinity is “one of the most slept-on records of the ’90s”.

According to a report from The Canadian Press posted today on The Globe and Mail’s website, only four hip-hop acts received federal grants in 2007. That’s a miniscule number compared to artists of other musical persuasions who won monetary favour from The Canada Council for the Arts.
This revelation is particularly shocking in an age when Canadian hip-hop has grown far beyond the roots planted by pioneers like Maestro Fresh-Wes and Dream Warriors. Think of the hip-hop talent blossoming across the country, from mainstream flirters like Cadence Weapon, Buck 65, K-OS and Kardinal Offishall, to lesser known but viciously potent rising artists like Abdominal, K’naan, Grand Analogue, Sixtoo, DL Incognito and Ghislain Poirier.
Even though three of Canada’s ten bestselling digital tracks in 2007 were hip-hop, according to SoundScan (though none were actually by Canadian artists), and Canadian hip-hop acts continue to gain critical notoriety and commercial success at home and abroad, it seems that this musical form lacks the respect and support afforded other genres by the federal agency committed to encouraging the arts.
Environmentally focused rapper Freeworm was given a grant, solo artists Red 1 and Kid Koala received professional development grants, and Aboriginal group [ed. artist] Eekwol was awarded a grant through the council’s Aboriginal Peoples Music Program.
