Dusty Fingers 101: Part One
Welcome to the first installation of Dusty Fingers 101. In this new weekly section, I will educate many of those who are curious about the origins of Hip Hop music. I like to think of myself as an enthusiast who can appreciate the original pressing and explore what producers heard when making many of Hip-Hop's premier tracks.
The section is very simple in structure; I will post a Hip Hop song and then post the sample from the original artist with some background notes for both tracks (*for those who dare to expand their musical horizons*) All of the mentioned albums and songs are from my own personal collection.
LET'S GO!
Show & AG - "Next Level" (nytime remix) from the album GOODFELLAS a *If you watched 8mile, much of this heard in this film
Maynard Ferguson - "Mister Mellow" - From the album Conquistador

This side of sunshine....
Roy Ayers is by far one of the most influential jazz/fusion/funk artists ever. Probably second to James Brown, he has been credited to many samples that are used in Hip-Hop and popular music. I bought this album last year and this is the 1st song of the record (A real masterpiece in my book). If you ever feel the need to explore and expand your musical tastes....this is a great start.

Weekend Movie Review pt.1
Iron man: (7/10) Saw this blockbuster on opening day and I forgot how much it really sucks to be late to a movie on its premier date. Sat all the way in the front but AMC tends to have mercy on those unfortunate late movie goers by giving us reclining comfy chairs. BACK TO THE MOVIE!: I was a bit over hyped by the movie and realizing that I have never even picked up an IM comic book, I really had no idea what to expect. I got what I expected but I felt that it needed a little more to get me over the edge. Robert Downey did a great job and whore of a love interest did a fantastic job too.
Enchanted: (4.5/10) Don't know what came over me to watch this kid's flick. But something told me that it was gonna be a worthy watch. WRONG! Its rather cheesy and corny amongst other foods that I'd throw at the screen for its exploitation of little girl's dreams and fantasies only to be broken early in their pre-pubescent lives. It was watchable at best and I probably wouldn't admit to watching it (with the exception of those reading this).
No Country for Old Men:(8/10) Talk about a great movie! It leaves you on the edge of your seat yearning to know what drastic and horrific end the next victim will endure. Javier Bardem brings that killer to life unlike no other mass murderer i've ever seen. The ending is something left to be desired but you be the judge. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

God Damn, that DJ made my day.....
But the highlight of the day if not the week...was meeting one of the most influential DJ that really changed MY LIFE when it came to hip hop and music in general. I was able to buy him a drink of Hennessey and coke to show my appreciation for all that he had done. We spoke for a couple minutes before he was grabbed by some groupie love.
To speak a a bit on him. He's part of the World Famous Wake Up show that is still on to this day. I spent many of my friday nights/saturday mornings in Junior high/High School staying up from 11pm-2am taping the shows. To me it was the only day of the week that I was able to listen to indepedent artists and music that influenced the genre itself.
What a blessing......

THERE WILL BE BLOOD - MUST SEE! - Great performance by Daniel-day Lewis...i always liked my left foot..and you should too!...Its a long movie but it keeps you on the edge of your seat. I was expecting for it to be a drawn out movie shoot in a single location but i was surprised on how well the story turned out.
