VADO FT. JEREMIH "MY BAE"

The word anniversary once referred to the commemorative feast in honor of a Catholic saint. Today we use the term for a celebration of any past event that took place the year or years prior on the same date. 

This year in particular marks the 20th Anniversary of a hip-hop record distinguished by its raw sound, uncompromising lyricism, and social commentary: Jeru the Damaja's debut album, The Sun Rises In The East. 1994 was a powerful, transformative year for hip-hop. Nas, OutKast, and Biggie Smalls each dropped their debut albums, while other more established artists released projects regarded both then and now as milestones in the genre. Jeru was only 21 years old when he recorded the The Sun Rises; 22 when it came out on Payday Records. And the album was well received in the hip-hop community.

What you're about to hear is Jeru the Damaja taking us track by track through his DJ Premier-produced debut album, delving into an array of subjects and stories such as:

- Waiting and watching for Nas to create Illmatic. 
- Spending formative years with the members of the Wu-Tang Clan.
- The nature of Brooklyn pride. 
- His inspiration drawn from his family, friends, and predecessors.
- And the story of how he got his pet hamster.

This is "You Must Learn."

"You Must Learn" was produced and edited by Peter Oasis, written by Dharmic X, and executive produced by Evan Auerbach (of @UpNorthTrips), with narration from Soul Khan. The intro was produced by DJ Flipout, and the artwork was designed by Kelly Green. Special thanks to Sarah Honda for the love. 

"You Must Learn" was recorded in your mother's basement next to your favorite blogger somewhere in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn.

So this is our first time doing this. Wontu and I (Mad Pat) sat down and talked about Blu and Bombay's new album, Good To Be Home, and recorded it. We talked about every song on both disks, gave our thoughts on both disks, on the album overall and we ended the talk with some superlatives of our favorite songs/features/beats/etc. You can navigate through the podcast at your own discretion to our thoughts on different songs/summaries of our thoughts on the album. The times where each songs starts being talked about/summaries and superlatives are discussed are below the SoundCloud link.

Again, this our first time trying this out, so let us know if you like this way, if you like written reviews more, if you like both. LET US KNOW. We greatly appreciate everyone who has viewed our site once or a hundred times. You're all the reason we keep doing this.

EveryDejaVu's Review on Blu & Bombay's 'Good To Be Home'

To celebrate the WFMU Record Fair, kicking off in NYC today, we've dug back into the digital archives (courtesy of Noah Uman), for an hours worth of Lord Finesse interview and a live DJ Mix. This all went down back in October 2011, for the last live show for Coffee Break For Heroes & Villains out of their New Jersey HQ. We were in the building with K-Def, Redefinition Records, and DJ O.Gee. 

Slice Of Spice will be running a table for all 3 days of the Record Fair (Fri-Sun), and we'll be joined at our table by DJ Amir (180 Proof) and legendary owner of Fat Beats records, DJ Jab, and both are bringing vinyl. As for us...we'll be giving out some free vinyl, and debuting some exclusives. Head to our listening station to be the first people in the world to listen to the D.I.T.C. Remix Project and Lord Finesse's, SP1200 Project on vinyl!

We've made great friends with many people at the WFMU Record Fair, since we started attending in 2008, and we hope to see many of you there this weekend.

WFMU Radio - Lord Finesse Interview & DJ Set (10.6.11) - 1 HOUR SESSION!

Brooklyn, New York City. Home of fancy coffee shops, expensive condominiums, and trendy neighborhoods. But in 1995, Brooklyn was not synonymous for “gentrification.” Back then, Rudy Giuliani was Mayor of New York and he was in the midst of a serious war against crime. In 1995, Giuliani’s New York registered its lowest crime rate since the 1970s. From 1,156 homicides then to roughly 300 homicides now, the Big Apple has come a long way.

In the heart of Brooklyn stood the “Doghilee,” stomping ground for the crew known as the Boot Camp Clik. BCC, which helped spearhead New York’s hardcore rap scene, was comprised of four unique groups: Black Moon, Smif N Wessun, Heltah Skeltah, and O.G.C. Emerging with Black Moon’s seminal debut album, Enta Da Stage, BCC cemented their status with Smif N Wessun’s debut, Dah Shinin.

Released January 10, 1995, Dah Shinin is celebrated for the synergy between Smif N Wessun’s two members, Tek and Steele, and the cohesive, gritty production courtesy of Da Beatminerz. In 1998, The Source placed the album in its list of 100 Best Rap Albums.

What You're about to hear is Tek and Steele take us through the backstory and the making of their quintessential classic. They talk about:

- Their relationships with Biggie and Tupac
- Going to high school with Maxwell and Sean Price
- Being inspired by the work of Roy Ayers
- And what the Doghilee actually was.

This is "You Must Learn."

"You Must Learn" was produced and edited by Peter Oasis, written by Dharmic X and executive produced by Evan Auerbach of @upnorthtrips. Special thanks to Dru Ha and Duck Down Records for the love.

"You Must Learn" was recorded in your mothers basement next to your favorite blogger somewhere in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. 

Please subscribe to "You Must Learn" on iTunes, Stitcher and wherever great podcasts can be found.

Lyrics:
[Chorus]
My memories came back in the form of someone else
I know this feelin', yes I know this very well
Why won’t you love me now? Why won't you love me now?
Why won't you love me now? (Why won’t you love me now?)

[Verse 1]
Memories
It's gon' take some gettin' used to
Memories
Feel the pain when it hits you
Memories
Don't you ever let them fool you
Don't you ever let them fool you
'Cause I know that you know that it ain't true
I learned the hard way about trust, about us, about us
You shouldn’t be on your high horse, we’re not so stable anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
What's left if I give you my all?
Give you my all, give you my all
What’s left if I give you my all?
Give you my all, give you my all
What's left if I give you my all?
Give you my all, give you my all
What's left if I give you my all?
Give you my all, give you my all

[Chorus]
My memories came back in the form of someone else
I know this feelin', yes I know it very well
Why won’t you love me now? Why won't you love me now?
Why won't you love me now? Why won't you love me now?

[Bridge]
My memories, I (Ahh)
My memories, why won't you love me now? (Ahh)

[Verse 2]
Stepped over me like a sidewalk
That's your loss, your loss
You self-destruct and I watch, I watch, I watch
Memories
Don't let 'em fool you, baby
Memories
Don't you ever let them fool you
'Cause I know that you know that it ain't true
Lock it up, lock it up, I can't deal with ya
Lock it up, lock it up, take your things witcha
I finally had enough
Out to the ride you go

[Pre-Chorus]
What's left if I give you my all?
Give you my all, give you my all
What's left if I give you my all?
Give you my all, give you my all
What's left if I give you my all?
Give you my all, give you my all
What's left if I give you my all?
Give you my all, give you my all

[Chorus]
My memories came back in the form of someone else
I know this feelin', yes I know it very well
Why won't you love me now? Why won't you love me now?
Why won't you love me now? Why won't you love me now?

[Outro]
Why won't you love me now? Why won't you love me now? (Ahh)
Why won't you love me now? Why won't you love me now? (Ahh)
