SOUL TRAIN AWARDS 2012 (CARIBBEAN INCLUSION)

The nominees for the 2012 Soul Train Music Awards was just announced in a press conference via live stream (Wednesday, September 19 @ 11am EST via Centrictv.com).

This year there is not a Reggae category per se, but there is a "Best Caribbean Performance" category. Viewers have the opportunity to select the winner by voting online.

The nominees for "Best Caribbean Performance are:

Cover Drive – “Bajan Style”
Damien “Junior Gong” Marley- “SuperHeavy”
Jimmy Cliff- “Rebirth”
Matisyahu – “Spark Seeker”
Sean Paul – “Tomahawk Technique”

Rihanna is the only other Caribbean nomination under "Best Dance Performance". These are the nominees:

BeyoncĂ©- “Love On Top”
Chris Brown- “Turn Up The Music”
Nicki Minaj- “Starships”
Rihanna- “Where Have You Been”
Usher- “Scream”

I screamed my head off in 2011 after Gyptians "Hold Yuh" performance was cut so we could watch tomfoolery they considered skits and bits. Now this too is a slap for me. As much Reggae/Dancehall/Culture/Roots/Lovers Rock music we have and we just get "Caribbean Performance". There's not even any instructions on how the voting will take place.

I'll cross my fingers that "Soul Weekend" will have Reggae performances. While there is no obligation to include us it would be unwise to exclude us.

Jaime Hype - Younghawk Sound (Bronx, NY), talks to Genie Sweetness (GenieSweetness.com) about his humble beginnings and love of soundclash. Jaime squashes rumors about his controversial wins in several clashes and his highly-criticized "pink lips".

A veteran whose career has lasted more than 20 years, he also has words of wisdom for younger sounds, and for those who choose to use social media for their own personal agendas; an act which has caused many issues in the soundsystem industry for all parties involved.

DELUS ft PATRA "COME OVA" - NEW RELEASE (APRIL 2012)

DELUS COLLABORATES WITH DANCEHALL DIVA, PATRA, ON NEW SINGLE
“COME OVA!”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -


http://www.reverbnation.com/open_graph/song/12871818

New York, NY (April 12, 2012): What does a veteran dancehall diva and a rising star, have in common? Well for one, a new single titled “Come Ova” produced by Dameon Gayle of Warrior Musick Productions. Delus and Patra teamed up on the dancehall track that is sure to be a club hit. The mature lyrics and Gayle’s signature hard hitting riddim will undoubtedly appeal to fans, DJs and fellow artists.

Gayle, who is also responsible for the production of Delus’ mega hit, “What Tomorrow May Bring,” remarks “It was a wonderful experience for me working with one of the greats from the 90s and one of the best of our time.  The song literally appeared out of thin air – ‘a moment in time’ I would call it. Delus and Patra executed the song flawlessly and I am just happy to be a part of history in the making with these two professional artists.” 

Patra, who has been on hiatus for a few years, is back with new management, A&R Executive/Producer Rich Nice and an album slated for release this summer.  In a recent interview with the Jamaica Observer, Patra stated the following about her return, I'm a sex symbol and I am ready to give a show. I am back with a new mature edge. It is not about going on stage and spitting lyrics. 2012 will see the return of the 'Queen' in full force.”

"HIP HOP CONTINUES TO RAISE THE STANDARD": ARE YOU NOTICING? 


The bar was raised this week for entertainment courtesy of Coachella and the phenomenal Dr. Dre Snoop performance that featured the Hologram of the legendary Tupac "MaKaVeLi".  Below is the cut and paste version of how the bar was raised and how it effects everyone in entertainment.

LIVE CONCERT: A new lane, or "threat"  has been open with Hologram performances from some of our favorite nostalgic deceased artist. With the talks of the successful MaKaVeLi Hologram possibly touring with Dr. Dre & Snoop, this will bring a different type of audience to the venue, from fans of music to science fiction freaks.

SHADY/AFTERMATH/INTERSCOPE: this was the bar that needed to be raised in effort for anyone to take Dr. Dre seriously. Dre releasing music is not enough and it never has been if you look back at his career. Dre has to literally change the way.....(Continue Here) http://bit.ly/HPVMo5

TRADIN' WAR STORIES WITH DAVE HOUSE - "HATERS VS. YES MEN"

We, in Hip Hop, are always saying Big Up to the Haters, or I would like to acknowledge the haters. I suggest that if we acknowledge haters we MUST acknowledge the YES MAN. In my opinion, the Yes Man is more dangerous than the Hater. The Yes Men will never be honest or courageous enough to tell us when we are doing something wrong. If the yes man was a dj, for the right price, the yes man will play “Do the Grand Wizard” from KKK Music Group on Malcolm X’s birthday at a club in Harlem. If the Yes Man is in the artist entourage, the Yes man will have the artist outside with his pants down nervous and in a tight situation, if the yes man’s paycheck depended on it. Moral of the story is, for the years I’ve seen the hater graduate from being the “Player-hater” and morphing into a cancer that will ruin Hip Hop that clearly blocks options for Hip Hop Fans. Fans must like what the majority likes (Yes Men) or stand out (Haters). It is clear that the word HATE, today, means to have total disregard for honest opinion. This creates a formatted culture that won’t allow the artist, the dj, the fan, and everyone else to be his or herself. This allows music trends to stick to ONE FORM, leaving no room for diversity and creativity.
THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE
 Hip Hop Music Should not be treated like its a voter registration, a political campaign trail for artist that need votes on Tuesday (album release day), or the culture should not be treated as if to say the fans and the dj’s can only have one option. I grew up in a time where I can be from the East Coast and still rap NWA while my classmates were into Rakim and the Juice Crew. At the time they was Nice & Smooth, De La Soul, Geto Boys, and a host of ther rappers and options to choose from that every one’s sound was dope in its own unique fashion. Today, every rapper pops bottles in the club, has exotic women, smokes the finest weed, and has all the money that can balance the economy. In addition, every rapper harmonizes tunes so the ladies can groove to it to the point where even the ladies is asking where are the real men, and the real music. We came a long way since “Ain’t No Fun If the Homeys can’t Have None”.
If there hasn’t been a better time to break new music, it is now. Why because what makes the DJ unique is his own individuality. If everyone is playing the same record, then how is the DJ in California different from the DJ in New York. Why should the audience go to your club when I went to the same club last week and its the same records the dj is playing. Why should the audience bother to listen to the radio when Pandora they can become their own radio station, like they have done with the ipod. The only reason why Radio will still be around is because radio can always “fall back” and scream “Community awareness” we are for people engaging with people. But in reality today’s radio station only cares about advertisers who spend the money and the community is considered “numbers” not people.
All this to say, if we are going to acknowledge Haters, we must equally call for the downfall of the Yes Men. To define the Yes man is to take notice to those who actually support you to the point where they are not honest enough to give you an opinion that may enhance your career. Yes Men are the reason why rappers have to sing now and have cornball hooks for choruses which leaves nothing artistic comes from the heart genuinely. PT Barnum, of the famed Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus, said that profit could be made when you capitalize on the ignorance of your audience. Once the audience start talking like how I’m typing, that means they caught on and are not ignorant anymore which will hurt all of our pockets. Lets capitalize by remaining innovative and shoot down the Hater and the Yes Men….. #WHW
