Bling 47 presents Breaks (Dilla Edition)
DJ Spinna - Little Brother
Stumbled across this link from Benji B’s twitter feed. Great series on J Dilla beats and what records he sampled. All filmed and edited by Waajeed (as Bling47). This one is DJ Spinna talking about Black Star’s ‘Little Brother’. Be sure to check more from Benji B, DJ Amir Rev Shines and Waajeed.
Spinna opened the books, especially when he pulled out his MPC 3000 and showed me how he did his rendition of Dilla and Black Stars, “Little Brother.”
Nas - Behind The Music
VH1’s Behind The Music documentary on Nas has been upped for UK viewers. Great insight to one my favorite artists. Running times 40mins+

Fat Bob Hates Hip Hop - Record Shop Dude #08
This week Sean gets to grips with what’s Hip Hop and what’s Shit Hop by totally ragging on Odd Future and Jay-Z. Sean also notes his disgust with dubstep, and he finally hits back at all those fat comments.
Fast becoming one of my favourites, be sure to check the previous videos as well.

A new era, as we roll out v2 of the site. Lots of updates forthcoming.
