"It's All Good"

Jay Dee, a.k.a J Dilla, is a beast. He has been a major influence on my own music and a major influence to producers worldwide. Ever since his death in 2006, Jay has blown up immensely and still has posthumous albums being released. His extremely rare "Ruff Draft" EP was re-released as well, which is incredible. And if you have a good kidney, you can still find an original copy.

During the earlier years of his career, J Dilla produced lots of remixes for people like The Pharcyde, Busta Rhymes, De La Soul, Mos Def, Black Starr, and Common. He also produced classics like "Electric Relaxation", "The Light" and even produced Janet Jackson's "Got Till it's Gone" but was uncredited.

The song that I'm sharing with you today is a remix of Vivian Green's "Fanatic" off of her LP A Love Story. Enjoy!

Suckaz Need Bodyguards hasn't been updated for a while. I've been a bit busy, taking care of my mother, who recently had surgery. Send good thoughts, she needs 'em. Things have started to slow down lately, so Suckas Need Bodyguards will be back on track soon. I got some great stuff waiting to be posted!

Tomorrow this blog will be back to normal!

Peace,

"I Rock The Coolest Rhymes From Here To Acapulco"

"Act A Fool" is a personal classic. Produced entirely by DJ Pooh, the album is fun to just listen to. The whole album has a sort of "messing around in the studio" vibe, especially on "I Got A Cold" where Pooh chops up Tee's coughs, sneezes and sick-beatboxing into a dope beat. The fifth track on the album, "Baggin on Moms" is just a bunch of Yo Mama jokes for two minutes. Tracks like these make this album different, but dope at the same time.

The single "Bass" reached number 19 on the Billboard 200 chart (the highest of the album) but for some reason is remixed on the album, so you can go find the single HERE via TROY Blog. The post also includes 9 other singles so check it out!

"AIDS is wack"

"The Rubbers Song" deserves it's own post. I love this song. It's a song about using contraceptives that's not incredibly cheesy or by Dr. Dre. It's actually enjoyable.

"The Rubbers Song" was featured on a compilation album called Stolen Moments: Red Hot + Cool. The album was released as an AIDS awareness effort, and a good one. The album features people like Donald Byrd, Digable Planets, The Roots, Roy Ayers, The Roots, and the Pharcyde. This is easily my favorite track.

The song was also released as a single with The Roots' "Proceed II" on the b-side. If you have this, please hook me up! I've been hunting it down for a while now. So without further ado, The Rubbers Song.
