So my man Peter Agoston - who's put out cool stuff like this and this - asked me to briefly spin at the Rakim show at the Knitting Factory this Friday. I've never been asked to play a "mini DJ set" (and Lord SHR is hosting the event), so how could I refuse? (Maybe Peter should start a club night called "White Castle" and make this the official music format.) Apparently, everyone whose name you see on the flyer in the lower left-hand corner literally gets 15-minutes of fame on the wheels. I'm not quick-mix proficient enough to drop 50 breaks in 15-minutes or anything, so I was thinking of just letting this rock end to end and calling it a contribution. But that's too cynical a move for even me to make, and I don't want to be a party-pooper on the night of the Knitting Factory's final hip-hop show ever. (Plus, Keith Murray and Just-Ice are on the bill; based strictly on past histories I'd say maybe it's not the best idea to antagonize either of those gentlemen.)
If you're at the show check for a Chairman: I'll be the one with more than one but less than 50 records with me. One of them might be this - an old Red Alert favorite and still one of the most ridiculous song titles in rap history. (The beat is sampled from "Rocket in the Pocket," but you probably could have guessed that.)
