DJ Eclipse – The Halftime Show Roc Raida Tribute

Friday, September 25th, 2009

rip

I’ll just let Eclipse explain:

On Sunday night I threw together a short Roc Raida tribute set at the beginning of my Sirius show. On Monday night Premier and I held our monthly “Like They Used To Say” party at APT which we dedicated to Roc Raida and were able to raise over $4,000 for his family. On Wednesday night I wanted to do a proper tribute show so I contemplated on what to do. As I compiled every song I could that Raida was featured on (production or scratches) I thought it would be better to reach out to his friends and get their take on what the man meant to them. What started out as a dozen or so people that I intended to talk to snowballed into phone call after phone call of friends wanting to share stories. Please forgive me if I left out someone’s name (or misspelled) in this email, but following is a list of who called or showed up at station (no particular order).

Video: Homeboy Sandman – “The Fuel” Freestyle

Friday, September 25th, 2009

“viruses run virulent without your vitamins and your minerals, you’re more compliant with leviathan when they’re minimal

While at the VIMBY HQ out in Cali, Homeboy Sandman spits an a capella version of his track “The Fuel”. The first time I  heard this joint one Sunday night on Rosenberg’s show I was amazed.  On the song Sandman speaks to the importance of proper nourishment to our bodies and how it’s not always easy to get that nourishment when you live in the hood. It immediately reminded me of dead prez’s “Be Healthy”, although it’s a completely different song. The a capella doesn’t really do it justice, but I don’t believe the final version is available as anything other than maybe a radio rip as of yet.
