1 Foreigners – Fabolous feat. Meek Mill & Mike Davis

いきなり始まりがあの有名なIsrael音楽のコーラスをそのままサンプリングしたのから始まる強烈なインパクトのある曲。(Eric B & Rakim のPaid In Full、Public Enemyの”Can’t Truss It”にも使われてたあのOfra Hazaの曲)　それに続くビートはFat Joe のMy Lifestyleをそのまま(厳密にはStatic Timeという曲ですが)使ってしまっています。最初のイントロと噛み合ってるのかどうも分からないけど、とりあえず最初に聞いた時のインパクトは大です。でも、全てをオートチューンを使ったことによってぶち壊したような、残念です。

フィーチャーされているラッパーMeek Mill はPhilly出身。アトランティック・シティーからも近いので、私が週末DJをしている ACのパーティーではMeek Mill の曲を頻繁にリクエストされます。

Opening up with Israeli musician Ofra Haza’s powerful “Im Nin Alu,”(also sampled by Eric B & Rakim’s “Paid In Full” and Public Enemy’s Can’t Truss It”) “Foreigners” sifts into the samples of Fat Joe’s “My Lifestyle” (the original was called “Static Time.”) It has a strong impact at the beginning but I don’t think this flows. Using Auto-tune for the entire track seems to have ruined the effect as well

People request a lot of Meek Mills songs at Province Club in Atlantic City where I dj every weekend as he is from Philadelphia and AC is not far from his hometown.

2. 1UP – Just Blaze

AUDIO

Just Blazeが大好きなTVゲームのサウンドをサンプリングしたTrap曲。

スーパー・マリオの音も出てきます。昔のJust Blazeプロデュースの曲はこういうゲームサウンドが、いい感じに目立ちすぎずサンプルされたヒップホップでかっこよかったなぁ。もう一度かっこいいヒップホップ作って欲しいです。ちなみにJustに会いたい方は、火曜日のトカチューズデーズに来たら会えます。

Just Blaze loves TV game and he samples Super Mario and turned into trap song. He used to make these signature songs with game sound back in the days. Nice.

Whoever wants to meet Just, come to my Tuesday party, Toca Tuesdays at Sutra in East Village!!

3. Boss Ass Bitch – PTAF feat. Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj

AUDIO

もともとは、もの凄く普通の3人組の黒人おねーちゃんラッパーの曲だったんですが、Nicki Minajがリミックスにはいって一躍有名に。クラブではサビのNicki の部分だけかけてます。「Bitch, bitch……..」て繰り返しているフックがやけに耳に残って離れないです。

PTAF (Pretty Taking All Fades) is a low key black female rap trio until featuring Nicki Minaj for their remix version. Now they are famous! Thanks to Barbz. I play only Nicki’s hooks at the club. She repeats ‘I’m a boss ass bitch,bitch……….’ Now it’s ringing in my ear.

“Mastermind” ヒップホップ界のヘヴィー・ヒッター、リック・ロスの新作視聴パーティ Rick Ro$$’s New Album, “Mastermind” Listening Party in New York

Posted on February 12, 2014 | Leave a comment

Read in English

12月リリース予定だった新作「マスターマインド」を3月4日に発売することを決めたリック・ロスのアルバム視聴パーティーが昨日（2/11）開催されました。今絶好調なアーティスト、リック・ロスの話題作とあって、厳寒の中500人を超す関係者がマンハッタンの会場、西50丁目の「ニューワールド・ステージ」に集まりました。

Rick Ross, DJ Khalid, Busta Rhymes, Meek Mill, Jermaine Dupri, Bow Wow, Free (former 106 & Park host), Sway (BET, MTV)

本人の他、DJ Khalid、バスタ・ライムズ、ミーク・ミル、ジャメィン・デュプリ、バウワウなど、アルバムでコラボしているアーティストやレーベルの仲間などが駆けつけ、VIPルームは高校のランチ・ルームのような賑わいでした。ヒップホップ・イベントにつきもののKUSAで室内は煙が立ち込め、こわもてのリックの目が潤んでいました。

まずはウォーム・アップのカクテル・タイム。Pディディーのお洒落ウォッカ・ブランドCirocのイメージ・キャラクターをリック・ロスが務めているということもあって、シロック・カクテルがふんだんに振る舞われました。

Mastermind

ニュー・アルバムには、すでにラジオでもヘビロ(heavy rotation)のジェイZをフィーチャーしたシングル、”The Devil Is A Lie”も収録されます。視聴会はスクリーンに映し出されるビデオの映像を見ながらアルバム曲を聴いてゆくという気のきいた趣向ですすめられます。リック本人の挨拶のあと、”Rich Is Gangsta”が巨大なスピーカーから爆音で鳴り響きます。ストリート・ライフを表現した”Drug Dealers Dream”………ギャングスタ「リック・ロス」の世界が広がります。1997年のノートリアスB.I.G. “You’re Nobody (Till Somebody Kills You)”にインスパイアされて作った曲、”Nobody”にはオーディエンスが熱い声援をおくり、ヒットの兆しが……..。カニエ・ウエスト、ビッグ・ショーン参加の”Sanctified”や、リル・ウェインをフィーチャーした”Thug Cry” など大きなヒットになりそうな手ごたえのある作品ばかり。アルバムのデラックス盤のみに収録されるという、ヒューストン代表のスカーフェイスとのコラボ曲、”Blessing In Disguise”でリスニング・セッションを締めくくりました。

Mastermind is the upcoming sixth studio album by Rick Ross, set to be released on March 4. The album features guest appearances from Jay-Z, Jeezy, The Weeknd, Kanye West, Big Sean, Meek Mill, Lil Wayne and Scarface.

The event on Tusday was a star-studded affair, with Ross and Meek Mill, as well as DJ Khaled, Busta Rhymes, Mack Wilds, Bow Wow, Jermaine Dupri and other music industry heavyweights.

Ross made a business deal with P. Diddy’s fashionable Ciroc Vodka last year and to show his role as an ambassador for the brand Ciroc cocktails serviced at the party throughout the night.

The listening session started out of the intro, then launches into “Rich Is Gangsta,” a power-track. “Drug Dealer’s Dream” depicts the street life. P. Diddy produced “Nobody” is inspired by the Notorious B.I.G.,’s 1997 track “You’re Nobody (Til Somebody Kills You). The gospel-laced track “Sanctified” features Big Sean and Kanye West if definitely one of musical highlights as well as remarkable “Thug Cry” with helps with Lil Wayne. The album’s deluxe edition includes a bonus track “Blessing in Disguise” that features Houston rap legends Scarface.

The big game is almost here, and that means big parties with big celebs — and best of all, you don’t need a Super Bowl ticket to get in.

You just need plenty of cash.

Kendrick Lamar

How much? Well, if you want to listen to rapper Kendrick Lamar and hang out with models at the Maxim party on Saturday, a ticket will cost about $1,500.

Jay Z

Want to hobnob with Jay-Z on Saturday night? Tickets to the DirecTV party at New York City’s Pier 40 will cost you about $1,300 on Stubhub.com.

Or you can listen to John Legend, Marc Anthony and Mary J. Blige at the Shape Magazine and Men’s Fitness party. But you’ll need $1,500 for a single ticket, or $25,000 for a 10-person table, to get in.
