"You Can't Have Hip-Hop Without A F**kin' DJ" DJ Scratch Tears Up Paris (New Video)


"Imma - imma play Jason" - DJ Scratch performing his infamous Jason Mask Juggle routine
DJ Scratch originally one of Klark Kent's Legendary "Supermen DJ's", later became E.P.M.D.'s DJ and more recently Jay-Z's Tour DJ. He is a highly accomplished and sought after producer. Check out his regular radio shows here and instant listen Podcast Mixes here


DJ Scratch Killin It in Paris (EPMD Show, Feb. 20th 2011) I saw EPMD with Scratch in 90' needles to say, it was siiiiiiiiick!

Just Dizle, aka Le Champion, is one of the most sought after DJ's hailing out of France. I had the pleasure of witnessing this first-hand as the spin doctor manned the wheels of steel at a recent party for industry staple Patty Laurent. With a crowd of insiders and celebrities, the self proclaimed outsider rocked the crowd like it was as unground sweat box in his native Paris.

Rocking parties is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Just Dizle's domination strategy includes spreading his brand across the world to go along with his strength in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Holland, Norway, the UK, Canada and the States. He's been on BET’s Rap City and also hosts a daily show on AllHipHop Radio.

He's a gladiator for Hip-Hop that does not believe in taking prisoners.

"The Kool Skool Book Club" - Antony C. Sutton 1925-2002 Professor, Research Fellow & Author (MUST SEE INTERVIEWS & LECTURES)


Antony C. Sutton 1925-2002 Professor, Research Fellow & Author


Antony C. Sutton 1925-2002 Professor, Research Fellow & Author
Excellent selection of rare interviews & lectures with silenced intellectual exposing the Wall Street (& European) Oligarch Familes "Strategy of Tension" techniques. Although often (mis-)quoted by the traditional right wing in the U.S. in the 80's, his information is ground breaking, and was black-balled and side-lined for his extremely damaging research, and shocking findings.


"The Kool Skool Recommends" - Wall Street & The Rise Of Hitler by Antony C. Sutton 1925-2002 Professor, Research Fellow & Author

"Anthony Sutton was born in London in 1925 and educated at the universities of London, Gottingen and California. He became a United States citizen in 1962. He was a Research Fellow at the prestigious HOOVER INSTITUTE OF WAR, REVOLUTION AND PEACE, where he produced the monumental three-volume study, Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development. Dr. Sutton was a prolific writer whose scholarly works include Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution and Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler. His book, Trilaterals Over Washington was the first book to be published on the Trilateral Commission.

Sutton reveals the untold story of how a group comprising the very richest men in the world, located one block off Wall Street in New York (120 S. Broadway) in a building owned by General DuPont, secretly financed the 1917 revolution of Lenin and Trotsky. Then in his work, Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler, Sutton details how this same group of monopoly capitalists financed and supplied both the leftist state of Russia and the rightist state of Germany and clashed them in war for profit.

Sutton has a great deal to say about the un-elected self imposed ruling class of the USSR and America and how they work together." - From here

More obscure stuff from the Kool Skool vaults, Afrika Islam "The Son of Afrika Bambaataa", best known as a Zulu Nation Sound System DJ in the Bronx Park Jams, and as one of the first Hip-Hop radio mix show DJs on his Zulu Beat Show, on 105.9 WHBI in New York. In the late 80's he went to L.A. as a emissary of Afrika Bambaataa and the Universal Zulu Nation to set up a Zulu Chapter there, and was involved in the legendary United Nations Hip-Hop Club in L.A. He is known for co-producing much of Ice-T's early music and member of his Rhyme Syndicate, and is today sill a touring DJ.



For a taste of what this Zulu King is best known for check out his early WHBI tapes here at the amazing old-school-hiphop-tapes.blogspot.com

The Kool Skool Salutes RAPHAEL SAADIQ


Estelle and Raphael Saadiq stylin'!


Amazing new Raphael Saadiq video for his single "GOOD MAN"
STARRING: Chad Coleman & Yaya DaCosta

Raphael Saadiq, first shot to mainstream success with the New Jack Swing group Tony! Toni! Toné!, known for slow jams and high tempo jams alike. After featuring on the Boyz In The Hood Soundtrack, the group gained serious international attention.


It Never Rains In Southern California Tony! Toni! Toné!

In 1999 Raphael Saadiq, DJ Ali Shaheed Muhammad of A Tribe Called Quest and En Vogue member Dawn Robinson formed the supergroup Lucy Pearl. The project was really interesting and refreshing for Hip-Hop and R&B, with a mature mix of Live instrumentation and DJ cuts, and guest appearances from Q-Tip and Snoop. It was a real shame they never released a second album.


Lucy Pearl - Dance Tonight (Official Video)

Since then Saadiq has gone on to release several albums, a personal favourite is "Ray Ray", released in 2004 was a 1970's style throw back concept album, which featured a "Grown Folks" - a loose rework of Marvin Gay's "Save The Babies". He is always pushing his music forward with a flavour of tradition. The Kool Skool Salutes Raphael Saadiq!!!
