RIP Fabulous Moolah

It's weird; I had just been watching an old Prime Time Wrestling last night that featured the Fabulous Moolah losing the WWE Women's Championship strap to Sherri Martel - this wasl ike 1986, 1987. Then I see in the paper today that one of the most recognizable, and greatest female wrestlers of all time, has passed away, and I had no idea. RIP to the Queen Bee.

BONUS BEAT: Peep out this classic interview that Bill Apter conducted with Moolah.

rock the dub radio: episode 008

khal 8:22 AM No comments

Another Monday, another episode of rock the dub radio. This edition features a host of basketball-themed joints, ranging from Kurtis Blow to the Wu. I threw in tracks that either outright reference basketball, or do it more subtly (like Biggie's "I've Got A Story to Tell", where he sleeps with a chick going with a New York Knick, then robs dude), or just would sound hype on your favorite blacktop/court. Some interludes in there from lowpoints in NBA recent past, and all around a solid mix - I think. You decide for yourself:

rock the dub radio on TONIGHT

khal 9:44 PM No comments

Just sending the word out that the latest edition of rock the dub radio (episode 008 for those who are counting), will be premiering on WGHH Radio tonight, 10PM EST. Since the 2007-08 NBA season started the other day, I made it with a Basketball-theme. Loads of roundball-related interludes and tunes; whether it's a track dedicated to hoops or something that references hoops, it's in there. I think it came out rather nice, and if you need 2 hours of hot hot heat, we got you.

Peep WGHH Radio on Live 365, or peep the flash player via wghhradio.com (as well as hittin' up the latest Hip-Hop news), and make sure you hit up the WGHH Radio Live Journal page.

One love.

FOTM: THUGSTEP #7

khal 8:00 PM No comments

This is the THUGSTEP version of that Crime Mob song that incites fights at Harvard University. True Story. The infamous DJ Nappy has concocted a crazy treat right here: takin' the ready-to-rumble lyrics from the fearsome foursome of Crime Mob (featuring Lil' Scrappy) and dropping it atop the computer dub of Kion's "Yard Music". I like how the girls sound on this one, personally: that one chick does this doubletime thing that kind of gets old after a while, but when she drops in, it is timed perfectly with the track, and duly jams harder.

Get your thug on.

Just got the Stones Throw newsletter, and there's some ill shit in there:

The latest Stones Throw podcast is a DJ Rhettmatic mix of Guilty Simpson tracks entitled Stray Bullets. Don't sleep.
Peanut Butter Wolf has a Christmas-themed mix coming entitled Badd Santa, which would go great with THIS Bad Santa. If you want to send both to the rock the dub war room, email me for my mailing address.
Talib Kweli recently interviewed Madlib on BET's Rap City. Seriously:
