Just my little blog to throw out my ideas on the internet, because why the hell not. I want to share some music with you, some words, pictures, etc. A little bit of everything. But it is mainly about the music, and no I do not make music, I use to be a college DJ and working on an internet radio show as well.

elmattic "bbop for bboys" Take 1 & Take 2
Anyone familiar with this blog has probably been able to figure out rather quickly that I am a huge fan of both hip hop and jazz, if you did not know that, I am telling you that now. Some of my favorite albums are those that do a great job of blending the two as one, whether it is groups that use beats that heavily sample jazz records (most notably A Tribe Called Quest) or when a hip hop artist creates an instrumental album basically of jazz remixes (Madib's "Shades of Blue") or jazz musicians who create hip hop esque jazz music (Robert Glasper) or my favorite when the two meet for a true collab, when a group of jazz musicians create music for MCs to use as their beats (Mike Ladd & Vijay Iyer, or Antipop Consortium and the Blue Series.) Well, elmattic is also a fan of such music and a while ago he created a very cool mix of some of his favorite examples, entitled "bbop for bboys" and not too long after released the second volume, "bbop for bboys (take 2)". Click the links for his write up and explanation of each mix. What I thoroughly enjoy about these mixes is the variety and the discussion that can be had about the mixes and about the genre of jazz hop or whatever you want to call it, but whatever you do, I highly recommend you check both mixes out and enjoy.
