$12.99 @ Chickie’s and Pete’s in South Philly. Very much worth it. Had it with a pint of Victory. Is life good? Of course it is. I banged it out with some hot sauce, ketchup, and the red pepper you can see. Sorry for the pic quality, its a phone pic.
First, “C’mon Baby” by Funk Flex, the “ghetto version”, its a great tempo to have a party break at and lots of fun to mix.
The next is Jadakiss’ new joint with Jigga. Look Jada can fucking rap, I’m on the second verse, Jada is killing it and Jay-Z still hasn’t rapped. If he got the third that’s fine with me, but if not that’s fine too. Jadakiss is a beast. Jay-Z can ad-lib ’til he’s hungry again.
Jadakiss ft. Jay-Z “Who Run This”
Ludacris is rapping hard on this DJ Cannon beat. Cannon’s been giving the South’s hottest mc’s soulful beats, that seems like his role, and its a good one. Mayweather on the cameo with way less charisma than Iron Mike.
Kanye is trying to do some other shit on this one, but sure… I’m with it. You probably have this, but I thought I’d throw it up here regardless.
So T-Pain’s new joint is not very club friendly, but Philly DJ Benja Styles made a really nice remix that solves this problem. The beat sounds very much like the Showtime Riddim, but I’m not sure what it actually is. I played it on friday and it got a very good reaction. T-Pain’s next album should be crazy and what’s even crazier is I found out dude just turned 23! Damn!
Ok, so we know Kardi is a beast and he is coming out with some shit with MTV Jams creep #1 Akon. I mean I like Akon, but shit, overexposure is a motherfucker. So “Dangerous” is a cool song but him doing that poppy shit sounds a little bit fraudulent to me. So here he is on that TI beat “Swing Your Rags” and he bodies the shit.
Big shouts to all of our peeps in Toronto, a place we love dearly- Naeel, Diggy, Christian, Andrew, and Vlad. Shout outs are completely unnecessary for a blog post, but thems my peoples.

This thing was killing it at the gym today… Not my usual listen to headbussin’ anthems and squat 400 pounds routine, but such an effective gay disco mix that I caught myself looking at a dude’s ass (nullus).
Also, big up to the smuts that wear push up bras to the gym instead of sports bras, your effort to pleasure men visually is noted, and the world is a better place because of it.
I don’t know how I got this, it was just on my Ipod and I like it. Peep it.

Emil and I are stoked as a mug to hit Columbus, Ohio this Friday. Gonna kill it with some hip-hop, classics, club, and all types of all shit. I know Dave Nada has crushed that place numerous times and he’s been sending me random texts like, “y’all gonna get those bammas the fuck out of there!” We will Dave, we will.
Of Course Saturday we will be destroying shit at The Bounce back in Philly, should be a banger… Make sure you hit it up before we switch the dates around on you suckas some other shit like that.
Oh yeah… You trying to cop one sneak for five stacks? I know Jed’s not even on that level.
What you know about these McFly’s?
Besides that, we got Silk City locked down Labor Day Sunday with an all-star lineup for a K-Swift benefit. It will be all club and certainly pretty ridiculous also.
Details coming soon.
“Y’all better vote Barack Odrama!”
This album’s is going to be ridiculous.
This joint is crazy.
Yeah… So I don’t know if this came out in 2005 or 2006, I just know it’s kinda old and hot as shit. There are a couple tracks on here that aren’t exactly timeless, but I listened to this mix today while I was uh… doing absolutely nothing and I still really like it. This mix has insane amounts of doo-dahs, blends, remixes, doo-dahs, exclusives, genres, and just a higher production value than a large majority of mixes. You see how much I’m hyping this jawn? I’ve decided that since it’s mad old, that it’s ok to praise my (our) own work this much. Not to mention the fact that the electro on it is good old school electro and not this bloggy new school crap. But seriously, this mix bangs and we were doing this electro thing while you were still in the marching band.
Oh yeah, I’m going to find the oldest picture of me and sparks on my photobucket since zshare is taking so damn long.

Ok, so this is a few weeks old now. But if you are a dj who plays hip-hop and/or classics this is an important mixtape to dl. It’s got 50 rhymin over looped up intros of a lot dj set staples (if you’re from philly or uh… nyc) that could be extremely useful if you are going back and forth from raps to classics etc.
My favorites on the mix are the Prince jawn, Before I Let Go, and Rising to the Top. On other tracks he spits over Heartbreak, Be Thankful, and even a Stevie Wonder joint. In other words- ALL TYPES OF ILL SHIT.
This is a lot of fun, and while he’s not destroying tracks, he still manages to remind me of him back when he was truly nasty.
We don’t put up many party pics, but this one was truly an epic event. The amount of dj’s that came together was hard to believe and there was no hate involved. So many people have so much respect for what Scottie and Sean have done at Unruly (myself included), and they let us in their house to rock for one night, a night that will be remembered for many things. Tragically, one of the things it will be remembered for is that it was the last Paradox appearance of the legendary dj K-Swift.
Once again, RIP K-Swift. Included are some pics of her doing her thing, in her element. I’ve heard people say she was the voice of B-More and I can’t argue that, she had that room captivated friday night. Hopefully some of these pics will allow people who missed that night (as well as those who were there) to remember her in a positive way. She went out on top.

Emil’s coming to the West Coast this weekend, San Francisco to be exact. Wish the bol happy b-day and go to his bass music night with the big homie Serg!
This shit is hot. Hit Chris’ listening party the other week. The album he is currently working on is sickening. I will give up on rap altogether if it gets held up for some BS reason. He is working with some serious names (philly dudes) so that should help. Let us pray.
The time has come for Crossfaded Bacon to endorse a 4th of July hat. The decision this year is obvious. Go Phils, go Obama, and have safe and happy weekend.
Before I get into anything else, make sure you scroll down and dl Emil’s Bounce Mix that’s causing so much controversy on the nets.
Yes, people who work on Wall St. have opinions about music, and if we spend enough time on the hollerboard we are in peril of listening to those opinions.
But anyways, I am going to the Jersey Shore tomorrow to get away from my not-very-stressful life for a week. I will be in Wildwood, NJ… Sick, huh?
“Watch for the tramcar please, w-w-w-watch for the tramcar please…”
At one point in time (before my time) Wildwood was a center of nightlife and music culture on the East Coast, especially doo-wop. Dick Clark would do American Bandstand down there. “Rock Around the Clock” was first performed there by Bill Haley and the Comets, and so was “The Twist” by Chubby Checker. Did you know Bobby Rydell, Frankie Avalon, and Chubby Checker all graduated from South Philly High? Apparently they all used to party/perform in Wildwood all summer. Serious movement going on back then.
Pretty amazing stuff, if you want to read more click this, and just roam a little. I definitely feel like I missed out on that era. Could have found love back then or something. But I digress…
Nowadays, every club down there is a straight Trance jump-off with maybe a Hip-Hop room if you are lucky. Coincidentally, I have also been reading this “Last Night A DJ Saved My Life” (google it) book that Emil lent me. Now, when I was younger, I was a huge rave hater (proud wigga- bitch!), and I guess I still kind of am. I had never given much thought to how all this nonsense (E-Music) had happened and where it came from. More recently I have gotten a better idea of where it came from, but not in a sense that I knew any of the artists or anything like that.
Now, I have an idea of what early House sounds like, but not really early Techno, and Techno seems to be a closer cousin of Trance than House. Basically, Wildwood, Trance, that book, etc. got me thinking and I decided to dl what was called the first Techno compilation from the Detroit OG’s imported to Europe that birthed the international electronic scene that we have now. I’m planning to listen to it with an open mind, because if ever Techno was good, I’m thinking the original Detroit shit must have been it. I figure listening to it will at least give me some insight about how House–>Techno–>Trance etc.
OK, I’m done making excuses for why I’m listening to this crap. But trust me, I will be lounging at the Shore getting red with this in my Ipod next week.

So yeah, I listen to a bunch bullshit waiting for new Jeezy material but this is the one. You know, the one that actually has some tracks from the upcoming album. It’s heat and my mans that’s known for stickin’ to the script did just that. It’s only 12 tracks, so you won’t be skipping through lot of guest verses with up and coming rnb youngs and lils. I been waiting for this. Some highlights:
“passengers a red bone, her weave look like some curly fries,
insides fish sticks, outside tartar sauce,
pocket full of celery, imagine what she telling me,
blowing on asparagus, realest shit I ever smoked,
riding to that trap or die, the realest shit I ever wrote,
they know I got that broccoli, so I keep that glock on me…”
Hungry? I mean we heard the food metaphors before, but this has to be the first time someone made hair weave appealing by comparing it to some curly fries. Don’t worry Jeezy, I’M RIDING!!!!!
But yeah, Jeezy is funny at times but mostly he’s just killing it.
