Do The Knowledge...

Alien Ness aka Rusty Shank from the Mighty Zulu Kings made a power move and just dropped a book called The Art Of Battle, Understanding Judged B-Boy Battles.. Ness drops jewels all through the book, about how to rep in the circle, understanding energy (which is a real big one , without understanding energy you will never gain a presence) how to come to the cypher complete, and many other tricks of the trade your average sap wouldn't be up on.. Usually these types of jewels are passed on from generation to generation after you have built and gained a brotha's trust.... If you are a B-Boy or even might have a "shakey presence" on calling yourself a B-Boy then i suggest you make this your sure shot! "BAM BAM"
Big Up Ness Ahki Peace,

Recession Hustling.....

Today we decided to start a new column entitled "Recession Hustling".. The means for this column is to keep people in the know about all them street hustles that save your pockets.. So to start off the first post in this new column we decided to lace you up with a nice little cyber jewel...

The strongest in the cybergame Google is back at it again with a new trick up there sleeve called GOOGLE VOICE.. Google voice is a FREE phone service that keeps you connected wit your peoples worldwide.. (So now you can use this as your new private "hustle number" or "mackin number" for all those honey's..) Some might say, "ahhhh that some matrix sh*t, or how is that saving on my pocket books, if i still got to have the internet"?? Well guess what, your friends got internet right? Libraries got internet right? Cafe's got internet right?? You just got to flip that sh*t, and use these tools to help you progress and live the dream... (Recession Hustling)

Some could even use this Google thing as a way to promote there jams, (info lines) or use them for mixtapes, podcasts, and booking info instead of using there personal number..Or even better yet, say you know a person who is a turkey in those streets, instead of giving them your personal number you hit them off with the Google joint... Ya feel me??(HAHA) The whole concept is a really interesting (cause remember you can also talk live on it, text from it, and still call from it all from your personal phone without EVER giving out your personal number).. It has a lot of functions and options beyond that too.. It's just how you can use it to your personal gain to make it work for you... Now checkout the 2 Google clips and get the info you need...

My mans and dem DJ Riff Raff out of Sacramento CA. is back on the airwaves (90.3fm KDVS) after a 5 year or so hiatus.. For those who don't know Riff has been a on air Hip-Hop junkie for at least 7 years straight in his hay day.. Bringing some of the illest and newest music to boxes all through northern CA. along with some dope on air interviews, and some real dope deejays live in the mix.. Now about 5 years later he decided one day to go back in the station and just check in on things.. Rumor has it Riff was asked to do a show pretty much right on the spot.. He was shocked, and now he is back in the fold.. So check him out now much older and more wiser with his new show called "Global Underground" ..

On his new show Global Underground he plays a wide spectrum of selections from local Hip-Hop, International Hip-Hop, New Exclusive Hip-Hop, to Funky Dubstep, Jazz, and everything between.. He also drops jewels on artists and labels that you just might want to check on.. Just when you think this show might not be for you, that's when he throws "that joint" on that locks you in.. Check his playlist it just might interest you..
Big up Riff,

Sometimes we at Funkwhatyaheard like to throw some undiscovered gems out there for the people in cyberspace.. Let alone throw something up that most sites won't even think about throwing up, or even even have a clue where in the hell we find this shit.. So with that being said, check out this mixtape that was put out by a deejay/drummer who goes by the name of Radski out of Austin Texas (i think).. The mix was put together for his homeboy as a personal mixtape trade.. The name of the mixtape is called the "Funked Out Moog".. That is what it is, it is all music inspired by the Moog keyboard.. I have never heard a mixtape like this with so much ammo behind it.. Must people who even attempt to make a mix like this run out of steam or play tracks that are so played out that it isn't anything to get really hype about.. After i checked in with this mix i couldn't believe the selection let alone appreciate the collection of records that were used (yes this mix is all vinyl) .. The project isn't mixed but it is composed and thought out well.. If you are a break deejay or just a person that appreciates the art of digging and record collecting then this on is for you..
Thumbs way up on this one,

Okay, i know another Michael Jackson mix right?? Now i wasn't going to put up no other mixes for M.J. due to the Premier, and Bambaataa mix that I threw up not to long ago so there really is no need after that.. But after I ran across this Michael Jackson mix called" The Legacy, Worlds Greatest Jackson Tribute Mix" put out by the U.K DJ Chris Read.. After reading that cocky ass title and with Chris Read prior mixtape releases i had to check in.. Just based off what he wrote i can appreciate his anger and frustration so it made me want to go in even more on this project.. So instead of me talking about it check what he wrote himself and do yourself a favor download this one.. (it's got the internet going nuts).. It's well thought out and is all mixed and spiced up with all types of samples and a great composition..
now take it away Chris,
-P

"I know what you're thinking, the last thing world needs right now is yet another M.J. tribute mixtape? Believe me, I'm pretty much of the same opinion and I didn't take the decision to do this lightly, but the flood of (in too many cases) pretty half baked tribute mixes, radio shows, podcasts over the past week kind of got under my skin. It seemed almost as though people were putting more effort into being the first to get something out than they were into a making decent job of it. I'm of the view that if you're going to mark somebody's life's work, the least you can do is pay some respect by putting some proper work into it. So that's what I did. Just over a week after Michael's passing, I'm pleased to present what I've (humbly) called
THE LEGACY: World's Greatest Jackson Tribute Mix! - 60 minutes, 45 tracks, featuring a selection of Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5 original works, edits, acapellas and demos accompanied by records that have sampled them, cover versions, tributes and remixes from the likes of Dwele, Dilla, DJ Spinna and Ian Brown amongst others. All that laced with original interviews and some heavy edits. It's been a labour of love, but I'm feeling like it was worth it."
