Praised by MTV, XXL, The Source, Allhiphop.com, The Fader, and a favorite among artists from Alicia Keys to Mary J. Blige to Miguel, J.PERIOD's Best of Lauryn Hill: Fire & Water is often cited among hip hop's most influential mixtapes. Tracing the lines of the enigmatic Lauryn Hill from her Fugees origins to solo fame with the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, J.PERIOD's epic tribute spans 2 volumes of hits, exclusive remixes, rare & unreleased material, concert performances, behind-the-scenes commentary and interviews with Ms. Hill herself. Includes 2 exclusive new songs: "Killing A Soundbody (J.PERIOD Remix)" feat. Buju Banton & Steele (Smif’n’Wessun), and "Like Water" [Produced by J.PERIOD] feat. Common & Black Thought. Cover art by Fuse Green.

J.PERIOD Presents... The Best of L-Boogie (Vol. 1)

Qool DJ Marv's 2-hour mix dedicated to The Roots, originally broadcast on WURD Philly. Marv's thoughts on 2 supporting inspirations:

One - I was telling my mom about The Roots making it from playing music on a South Street corner to becoming a band that travelled all over the U.S. and the world and is now the house band of the new Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. She wasn't aware of them and their journey. One idea behind this is a Roots mix for the older generations.

Two - I imagined this scenario between a Dad and his son. Dad's hipping son to the hip-hop of his day. Thanks to a cool mix from a DJ named Marv, Dad played his boy the entire mix on a drive from Philadelphia to New York (because they scored tickets to the Tonight Show).

After each and every song, son asked "That's them too?"
"Yes, that's them too," smiled Dad.
"They sound so different, every song," the boy with the eager ears said.
"Well, they are musicians and their main voice, Black Thought, what a name eh(?), he's more than a rapper, he raps poetry, stories, information and encouragement."
"I thought rappers just talked about themselves and how they the best," said son.
"They are best at self-aggrandizement, I always needed more son," taught Dad.
(The Seed 2.0 starts playing)
"Oh who is this? Are we finished listening to the Roots," asked son.
"That's them too," beamed Dad while reaching for the + sign on the volume control.
"Wow, that's them too," said son with a voice that trailed off as he looked out the window and saw New York City on the horizon.
(Narrator: "Each time [son] asked "That's them too," in his mind's eye, heart & soul and deep in his consciousness, he was actually saying, "That's me too. That's me too. That's me, too. That's me.")

Qool DJ Marv - The Roots Mix

"I'm the biggest Tribe fan so it brings me a lot of pleasure to drop this mix.  I haven't followed their solo acts much, but I watched them like a hawk growing up.  In fact, the first piece of music I personally got my own hands on was their first album from the public library.  I can talk all day about this group, its emotional for me in fact, because my fav. genre is hip-hop and after midnight marauders, hip-hop split into underground and pop, and I found both styles were trying too hard." - DJ M-Rock [@twitter.com/mrockgotbeats]

With today marking the sixth anniversary of J.Dilla’s passing, Hot 97 in New York kept Friday guest DJ spot open for ?uestlove. For an hour, The Roots drummer played an entire set of J. Dilla classics. Turn It Up!

?uestlove "J Dilla Tribute Mix" on Hot97 [2-10-2012]

One of my favorite MC's of all time is Mos Def. The man was so damn fluid on the mic and actually cared about the things he talked about. A true poet. Growing up, it was very important for me to see people who were actually intelligent while still retaining that cool factor. I think many times in the black community, you equate a person being extremely well-read as either snobby and elitist or a straight sell-out with no self-awareness. Mos was able to shatter those misconceptions beautifully. The man is an award-winning actor, true mc, poet, and producer. And he does all of them with skill and a nobility. Hip-hop is meant to serve as a positive beacon for the community. Salute Mos aka Dante Smith. Another tribute mix. :) Get in tune on twitter @djrashadhayes & blackmeansforever.tumblr.com
