Christmas Rap (1987)

© BMG

Inspired by the overwhelming success of Run DMC’s “Christmas in Hollis,” this true school compilation might be the closest thing to a consistent christmas rap album you’ll ever find. It features the aforementioned Run-DMC hit, Derek B’s “Chillin’ with Santa,” Sweet Tee’s “Let the Jingle Bells Rock,” and the playful “Dana Dane is Coming to Town” by Dana Dane. A great seasonal gift for fans of 80′s hip-hop.

Christmas on Death Row (1996)

© Death Row Records

1996 was the year of doom for Death Row Records, no thanks to 2pac’s death and the outcry against gangsta rap. In order to prove that Death Row was not exclusively synonymous with gangsterisms, Suge dropped this christmas compilation with help from Tha Dogg Pound, Danny Boy, Nate Dogg, and others. Contrary to what you might expect from an album titled Christmas on Death Row, this is far from a gangsta interpretation of the holidays. So, nope, Santa doesn’t get jacked for his gold chain.

A Very Special Christmas (1987)

© A & M

Okay, I lied. A Very Special Christmas is not exactly a Christmas rap album. However, it features Run-DMC’s “Christmas in Hollis,” as well as timeless tunes from U2, Madonna, Eurythmics, and others. The best part is that A Very Special Christmas was recorded as a benefit album to assist the Special Olympics. Now, that’s hip-hop.

 

Cross Movement – Gift Rap (2004)

Do you like your Christmas rap garnished with a bit of gospel? Then Cross Movement’s Gift Rap is just right for you. Better still, this 11-song CD can be enjoyed throughout the year, not just on Christmas.

 

 

Jim Jones – A Dipset Christmas (2006)

“I wanted to make a Christmas album for kids in the hood and s*** like that,” says Jim Jones about A Dipset Xmas. It features reworked Christmas favorites as well as new unreleased material. What better time to go “baalllinn’” than on Christmas?

Season’s Beatings III, various artists   They’re baa-aak for 2006. J-Squared and Hudson promise this is the very last time they will throw down with one of their hip-hop holiday mix discs. They mash up all kinds of stuff from the Anita Kerr Singers to Free Design, Mr. Lif to Free Design, Force MDs to Princess Superstar, Clarence Carter to James Brown and more. Check out the full song roster for all three discs at their website.

Season’s Beatings The Second Coming, J Squared and Hudson   This is the 2005 version of something we featured a couple of seasons ago (below) , a hip-hop collective doing the whole DJ schtick on a collection of holiday tunes. Essentially it’s a mix disc with the end of one song mashed into the beginning of another, using all sorts of found sounds from canned jingles to old radio bumpers recorded by British pop stars like the Police, Duran Duran, Paul Weller and Culture Club. Because of the transitions, you won’t be able to extract tunes from it for your own collections, but if you want people to think you hired a DJ for your Christmas party, this is the way to go. Mostly hip-hop and R’nB stuff from the likes of Biz Markie, De La Soul, Kool Moe Dee, Run DMC, Biggie Smalls, Eazy E, Mary J. Blige, Destiny’s Child, Donny Hathaway and more, but there’s also reggae from Jacob Miller and Lee “Scratch” Perry, rock from The Ventures and Elton John, jazz from Billy Taylor’s Orchestra, and inexplicably, three Lou Rawls cuts (but they’re pretty good, so go figure.) Update: Vol. 3 is out for 2006.

Season’s Beatings — Off the Hook Presents a Yuletide Odyssey, various artists   This is a hip-hop DJ collective essentially giving us its version of a mix CD. Unlike those of us out there who simply fire up iTunes or Musicmatch and let ‘er rip, mix and burn, these guys commit the whole dancefloor experience to disc, complete with mash-together segues, scratching and some original raps. An incomplete rundown of the records used on this collection includes “Up On The Housetop” by the Jackson 5, “Soulful Christmas” by James Brown, “Winter Wonderland Reggae” by Byron Lee, and still more by the likes of Rufus Thomas, Rotary Connection, Run DMC, Kurtis Blow, Mack Rice and even Paul McCartney, Shonen Knife and The Waitresses, not to mention some things that fly by too quickly to note. For those of you who need the whole experience to get through the holiday nights, this is actually not bad at all. Those of you who want individual tunes to make your own mixes, well, you’ll have to go back to the sources, same as these guys did.

“Christmas In Hollis,” Run DMC (A&M)  This rap tune kicks off promisingly by sampling Clarence Carter’s “Back Door Santa,” then we’re into a funny tune about finding Santa’s wallet on the street in this Queens neighborhood. Great groove, ironic for the fact that this cut from A Very Special Christmas precedes Bon Jovi’s plain vanilla cover of the Carter song.

“Christmas Is,” Run DMC (A&M)  This plea for the needy is on A Very Special Christmas 2, and it’s not bad; an old soul groove (can’t identify it, but it sounds familiar) under the rap, with a great chorus: “Give up the dough, give up the dough for Christmas, yo!” Plenty of quotes and rhymes to move it along.

Christmas at Luke’s House, various artists (Luke Records)  This 1993 effort is available in two versions, a “clean one” and a “dirty one” (called Christmas at Luke’s Sex Shop), in keeping with Luke’s history as the originator of 2 Live Crew’s “As Nasty as You Wanna Be.” The song lineups are completely different on the two; the “clean one” is pretty much 90s-style rhythm and blues with a little bit of talking in front and in the middle of the songs. Artists helping Luke out include H-Town, U-Mynd and Chris Brinson and the Gospel Music Ministry Choir. As risque as the clean one gets is “Knockin’ Boots for Christmas.” The tunes are mostly original, although “We Bring You Joy” swings into “The Christmas Song” and “H-Town’s Coming to Town” steals liberally from the Santa Claus version of the song. I don’t have a copy of the dirty version handy as of this writing, although I recall one of the songs on it is titled “Ho-Ho-Ho’s” or something similar that alludes to the street name for prostitute.

Xmaz-N-The-Hood, The M (Priority)  Some old-school hip-hop on this EP from 1991, with “Chris Kringle is a Black Man,” heavy on the synth bass, talking about one of the vocalist’s Compton neighbors; “Ebony’s a Scrooge,” rapping over the riff from Johnny Taylor’s “Disco Lady”; a deconstruction of Donny Hathaway’s “This Christmas”; lots of ghetto talk in the disjointed title song; and “Brighter Days,” a languid mid-tempo jam that alternates singing and rapping about hope for the future. If you can still find this, it’ll probably be in clearance racks. Language advisory.

Quad City All-Star Christmas, various artists (Big Beat/Atlantic)  This hip-hop compilation from 1996 features more party-oriented music than a lot of rap holiday collections. There’s more singing on this CD, the beats are consistent and the arrangements are tight. “Alone” by Joni featuring 24K is a medium ballad about being just that on Christmas Eve. The 69 Boyz talk about “What You Want For Christmas,” which may still include a 12-disc changer but almost certainly doesn’t include “nine Sega tapes.” A remix of the song appears later on the disc. “Where Dey At YO!” is Knock singing about “the real men” who “don’t sell drugs” and “stay home with me sometime.” Big Dave and Tina reconstruct the standard “White Xmas” in their own hip-hop arrangement, and the album closes with a brief remix of it. “Da Jam” is a fast rap by UndaAged — too fast for me to get much of the lyrics, unfortunately. “Xmas Blues” by BigTyme (no, not Dick Cheney) is a talker over a blues background. This is pretty good overall, even non hip-hop fans should be able to

People are tired of being force fed stale over played FM radio programing.   Play list’s based on media conglomerate advertising sales figures instead of audience reaction. Ring-tone programing and music that sounds like long commercials for liqueur Company’s and drug affiliates.

Instead, ClubCast.Tv and MixTapeRadio.Fm gives our audience the same cutting edge (Dj created) programing that packs the night clubs week after week. With an loyal audience yearning to get lost in the music and the momemt.

With the help of todays social networks, finding  new music these days has become a word of mouth business. The day’s of hearing your favorite artist airing a unreleased track on FM radio are rapidly fading.  Leaked on a blog or heard on internet radio is a better bet these days!  It’s more widely used  by enthusiast giving them the constant variety Fm radio is lacking.

Todays rising unemployment rates comes greater creativity.  Don’t forget that Punk, House, hiphop, indie were born in the troubled times and the recession in the end of the 70s / early 80s.  Right now there’s a lot of musician’s breaking away from the norm,  giving music lovers a new approach.  Which has starting to flourish in 2010 with hiphop artist like B.O.B., J.Cole, Wale, Tabi Bonney, Alchemist, Brother Ali, Murs. Artist that use music to inspire with content worth sharing.
In 2011 we can expect to see much more original homemade music across the genre list.  With instruments from the 80′s like the beloved synthesizer and keyboard (hopefully the ‘keytar’). Along with artist sampling and blending genre’s and people together. Quickly becoming viral sensations via social media networks. Without the funds big record labels provide for wide spread exposure.

Keep in mind that 50% of the Grammies in 2009 went to independent artist and 36% the year before. Being independent isn’t a fad, it’s a great way of doing business because of its low overhead and creative content. Marketing your band yourself is part of being independent.  However having a product that sell’s itself is what makes the music industry the hardest to conquer.

Music simply travels farther & faster around the world than any one “product”.  Giving entrepreneurs, artists and  fans the ability to compete against major labels with little or no overhead for advertising, marketing and production. Opening the door for entrepreneur’s with a love for music entertainment.

One of the best ways to find new music is through following Dj’s.  Most popular Dj’s belong to a number of private record pools.  Using the nightclubs for “testing grounds” before most radio stations add it to the rotation.   Dj’s deliver music to consumers based on cold, hard visual dance floor data. Not quirky surveys, research or what music labels invest to then have repeatedly rotated through out the day. Until you’re singing the chorus and buying the CD because you cant get it outta your head.

ClubCast.TV & MixTapeRadio.Fm Dj’s are the music industry’s most accurate music trend setters. Developing the hottest programing that our fans cant get enough of.  In turn giving more freedom  and instant accessibility to our fans.

At any given time the real “pulse” of the music can be taken from a new up and coming media company called AZB (currently seeking investors – contact).

RiP!: A Remix Manifesto is a 2008 open source documentary film about “the changing concept of copyright” directed by Brett Gaylor.
Created over a period of six years, the documentary film features the collaborative remix work of hundreds of people who have contributed to the Open Source Cinema website, helping to create the “world’s first open source documentary” as Gaylor put it. The project’s working title was Basement Tapes,(referring to the album of the same name) but it was renamed RiP!: A Remix Manifesto prior to theatrical release. Gaylor encourages more people to create their own remixes from this movie, using media available from the Open Source Cinema website, or other websites like YouTube, Flickr, Hulu, or MySpace.

Before the Music Dies (B4MD) is a 2006 documentary film that criticizes the American music industry and the increasing commercialization of the art of music over the past thirty years. The film features interviews and performances from such musicians and groups as Doyle Bramhall II, Erykah Badu, Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews, Branford Marsalis, Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt [1] and My Morning Jacket. It was directed by Andrew Shapter, produced by Joel Rasmussen, and co-written by Shapter and Rasmussen. The film premiered on March 12, 2006 at the South by Southwest film festival in Austin, Texas.

The film looks at the evolution of American popular music and discusses the marketing of contemporary pop stars. “The reality is that superficiality is in,” says Marsalis. “And depth and quality is kind of out.”
