First Breakdancer - From NYC!

I don't care who talks beef about where Hip Hop started, but there is PROOF that the headspin and head stands and other floor work in the breakdancing "book of moves I will not pull off at my current age" was started in New York City. This video, released by the Library of Congress shows an arab street performer in 1898 busting out some moves. Can someone seriously lay some old Tribe Called Quest beats over this video??

WU TANG X BEATLES = PRETTY DAMN GOOD MIX



We are fans of "good" mashups (although we hate the word Mash-up). Good ones do not come very often. To be honest, the last decent one we enjoyed was the JAY Z X BEATLES mix by Dangermouse. Since then we heard a Led Zep X Jay Z mix as well as many other somewhat "meh" mixes.

But today, we came across this BEATLES X WU TANG CLAN mix by Tom Caruana.
This does not dissapoint. While some of the tracks are just OK, the majority got multiple replays on our speakers in the studio.

The entire album is FREE on Caruana's website.
