I found this gem courtesy of the Bay area pioneers of Hip Hop Slam (site hasn't been updated since 2007) where they are interviewing the green eyed bandit a.k.a Erick Sermon a.k.a the original I'm jumping out the window with this one. In this 1st of two clips he shows some turntablism I'm assuming he picked up from Dj Scratch and he also shows some Olympic worthy skating when asked about the E.rick A.nd P.arrish M.aking D.ollars break up. 16yrs later it's apparent that E Double was the brains of the organization as he was able to maintain some solo limelight for the majority of seperation, but I am still I fan of the duo first! Pick up the new EPMD album and support the legends of this culture.
Surprise.......

The kid Life The Great is back at it with his JuLife campaign for 2009. This is where he is releasing a new song everyday for the entire month of July. I know some may say "this has been done several times already" and while this is true Life was the first to do it and last year he commited to making this an annual event. here are the first 6 songs for the month download them, enjoy them and be sure to give him your feedback be it good or bad. You can hit him @ lifethegreat.com
JuLife 1st
“Heclif Huxtable”.
This is the 1st record I recorded just on an emotion of wanting more from our younger generation I call it “Heclif Huxtable”. Its a song that feels different but not too unfamiliar to today’s music. Ironically the message is about being grown. click the link listen and ENJOY!

JuLife 2nd
"Billionaire Bound"
I recorded this song with one thing in mind, MONEY. We all have aspirations of making more money than we have now. Its very ironic that the life we “spend” searching for funds to taste the good life, will not fill any voids we “think” we have. In the hook you hear me say “I’m a B-Boy” or Im a billionaire boy thats the chant, I guarantee by the end of the song your mind will be Wowed. Oh by the way I produced this one myself (Production of Education LLC) click the link and Enjoy!

*sidenote* this song is not able selling crack in any way!
JuLife 4th
"My Lane My Riding Music"
This song is about me as an artist being ABLE to make music just to fit in and make quick money, but each time I try to drive in that direction, I still end up driving in my own lane. So I named the song just that Enjoy

JuLife 5th
"The Way That I Flow"
I was feeling really upset this July 4th man. I had a show and people were pro underground I WILL NEVER consider myself that ( not trying to diss) but i feel like I relate a lil better than that. So I went into the nite after the fireworks and created a song that explained my frustrations its called:

JuLife 6th
"So Fly pt.2"
When I heard this track and I went right into a 70’s mode. The texture of this instrumental inspired my flow, its like im “Macking” the music. On top of that when you think of the 70’s you think of how fly they were so I give to your ears:

Ok, it's 1994 I was in the Air Force (mentioned before)so my money was low often(thank God we had ATM that we couldl take $5 out at a time) which left me with an extremely small budget to buy vinyl. When I was able to buy a few pieces I will scracth them to death! This song was one of the few in my collection, but I had to buy it after seeing the Bush Babees perform at the On The Street Peace concert in Downtown Memphis more on that later. These emcees were/are nice, so nice that I stole one of the kids name as an A.K.A and went on to use it on Blackplanet waaay back in 2001 or so (babyface_kaos).
What really killed me was the fact that I had a 24 sec sampler that I purchased from Upstairs records in NY that i used to ahhhh......sample. Anyway on this record I had a dope sample that went "Rappers just rap, but emcees get props" that I played with for sometime with my Roland drum machine, but was highly pissed when KRS-ONE stole my idea and rocked it with those sewer boys. DAMNIT!!!
Oh yeah....Where are they now?

When I think about the Bass music from Florida and Georgia back in teh 80's and early 90's It upsets me that it was isolated to that region until its ultimte demise. Military members and brats like myself the music took this music international and tired our best to expose it to the rest of the world. I digress...
This car used to be my theme song for like two summers I used to drive my mom's '86 Honda Accord, but when I was a passenger in my man Rod's Eldorado is when we got major bump and the girls loved it.
Here it is
