Don't know if someone has already mentioned them, but does anyone listen to Los Nativos or El Vuh? Two ill underground groups.

Uh I think you mentioned them my friend. I'll look em up. What City/Rez are they from? Or are they from all over?

Brooklyn · 01-21-2008, 12:28 AM

I figured I did, but they're worth another mention. Both crews have members who represent Mexica/Aztec and Mayan backgrounds. Los Na is out of Minnesota. El Vuh is Cali.

I'd like to say a few words actually there will be more than a few. Certain people out there perhaps close to me don't agree with my PERCEPTION OF HIP-HOP CULTURE. And that's fine. But my perception is my own and has been shaped by my past and growing up within it on my Res and off. So if you don't agree with what I have to say, then perhaps you should write your own piece and post it up on Pow Wows.com then.

Perhaps this is just a disclaimer.

I am what I am this is all I can be, no more no less, what you're seein is me... J-5

I'd like to write a short review of DJ Spooky's 2007 release. This album was mixed with Dub, it is the word for that type of Reggae influenced sound. Rob Swift formerly of the Executioners scratched on the opening track and it was tight as hell. Then track 2 was a remix of Bob Marley's and Peter Tosh's: Mr. Brown. Such a bad azz track my friends! Man oh man! The third track was so so. And well over all I thought the album was down right funky with a very Dubby twist and feel.

But I think that Spooky brought it yet again with this album. Spooky as some of you know is quite experimental and off the beaten path. I was introduced to Spooky in 2000 and have loved his stuff ever since. Spooky is a weirdo DJ. He is out there in some other dimension like Kid Koala and DJ Q-Bert. I"d say his layering and mixing skills are just killer. I've not heard too much of his scratching nor beat juggling but, his ability to mix various genre's of music and insane video game and space sounds are out of control.

Again Mix Master Mike is another cat who deserves mentioning as well in this piece. I mean you can't mention crazy space sounds without mentioning Mix Master Mike. For those of you who do not know who that is, Mix Master Mike is the DJ for the Beastie Boys. And if you don't know who they are, well then you might want to ask your Auntie or Uncle or older cousins about them kiddies.

But back to the artist at hand, DJ Spooky. Spooky blends the unique sounds of many forms of music that other main stream DJ's and Hip-Hop/Rap DJ's don't if they even have a live human being on a set of tables and not just a drum machine and sampler. Spooky's style is somewhat dissonant and may be hard on the commercially tuned person's ears. Yes there is vocals and rapping over some of his stuff. It may be a guest MC or some other group he is cuttin up or beat juggling or layering. I don't wish this Spooky highlight to be a cut down of mainstream RAP or HIP-HOP. So don't get all butt hurt people. All in all Spooky is one of the best DJ's to come out of the 90's and still to be going strong in this new era of Hip-Hop Culture on Turtle Island.

Peace Ya'll

Thursday, February 7, 2008 – Hip Hop Pioneers Reaching Out to Natives:
The Hip-Hop movement, like many national movements has found its’ way to Native communities as far north as Alaska through Canada and the lower 48 states. It has influenced Natives to join in and make their own Hip Hop mark. So what happens when a movement is touched by the pioneers who founded the hip-hop culture? What lessons are yet to be revealed as the founders take a physical and musical visit to Native communities? Invited guests include Rob "Kasp" Sawan of the Cree First Nation and a member of the Native hip hop group 7th Generation, Darryl "DMC" McDaniels of the legendary group RUN DMC, George "Pop Master Fabel" Pabon of the Taino Nation.

No, not progress. Some natives are half-off with their infusion of black hip hop and wacipi culture.

That just goes to show us your narrow minded perception of culture in general, not to mention your stereotyping of Hip-Hop being just a black or hispanic thing.

Hip-Hop from its very early childhood has always been about Peace-Love-Unity through the three aspects of Hip-Hop. It has spread to every corner of the world since the early 70's. It's not a black or latino thing, white people and NdN's have been involved since it's birth. The first white B-Boy or Break Dancer who was a part of the "Rock Steady Crew" in the South Bronx is named Frosty Freeze. He could walk through any neighborhood in New York and if questioned say he was with the Rock Steady Crew and his name was Frosty Freeze and they would instantly respect him, and this was in 1973.

So no it isn't just a black or latino thing. White people and Indians have been there too since the beginning.

. It sounds to me that you have some deep rooted issues to work on. Please refrain from making any more negative comments on this thread. If you want to bash something I recommend starting your own thread.

This thread is about spreading the truth about how Hip-Hop Culture is very much a part of our own and always has been since its inception in the early 70's. Your negativity is only water on a ducks back.

Before you start opening your mouth and letting some kind of ignorance spill out, you might want to get your facts straight before you end up sounding like the ignoramus you are.

Peace & Love
OD

Did you find out the name of the song yet? If so, I'd like to know because I would buy the CD, in a New York minute. I grew up in the Bronx on West Farms Rd between Freeman St. and Boone Ave.
