dj-rashad

At the young age of 34 years old, DJ Rashad has passed away. What was originally assumed as a drug overdose was later revealed to be caused by complications from a blood clot. He did not receive the treatment needed  due to his young age and  small likelihood that he would have a blood clot.

DJ Rashad will be remembered as being the founder of the Chicago footwork craze that looks like a frantic cross between tab and riverdance. His album “Double Cup” was ranked eighth in Rolling Stones best dance albums of 2013.

Anytime someone loses  a life it is sad story. When somebody loses their life when it could have been be saved its tragic.

Why didn’t we think of this?

Uncategorized, , , , ,

For years DJ’s have taken the back seat to face of the performance. In hip hop videos and shows its the MC that gets the bulk of the attention when its the DJ that produces the beat and lays the track. At the club alcohol and attractive members of the opposite sex can consume all of the attention but more recently EDM music has birthed a sort of DJ revolution making them the prime ticket. With music videos moving to an online form and channels like MTV and BET showing less and less videos the art of the music is becoming more prominent. So the natural progression would be that these DJ’s that VJ would be the talent on what would be an all video mix online station.

Well the future is now, VJstream.tv has brought that to us. It houses live mixes and the most popular mixes to date. The site itself is in its beta stage, so sign up and try it out. Promoting an online channel like this can only be positive.

Top 10 DJ characters from movies part 2:

Uncategorized, , , , ,

Here is the final part of the official VJstreet top 10 DJ characters form movies. Its great to see DJ’s becoming a little more prevalent on the silver screen, so its only natural we give the the respect that is due.

5. Otis/ Stab Master Arson – CB4 – Dezzer D

CB4 was realeased at a time when hip hop was still young but flourishing. Gansta rap was the most popular genre at the time and the credibility of a rap act was everything at this point. CB4 poked fun at just about every style of rap and the frauds that performed it. Deezer D gets the nod for being the first to light this turntables on fire.

4. Jam Master Jay – Krush Groove

Def Jam was one of the first hip hop only labels to have early success. Russell Simmons had the luxury of being related to one of the members of RUN-DMC.  Although he did not do a whole bunch of acting in the movie his car wash scene is priceless.

 

3. Frankie Wilde – It’s all gone Peter Tong – Paule Kaye

It’s all gone Peter Tong is an inspirational movie. A story about a drug abusing DJ that loses his hearing with no way to ever regain it is one that has to be heard. Its a lot like get rich or die trying or 8 mile in the sense that it is a documentary as well as an entertaining movie about success in the movie industry. If you have not seen this movie do your self a favor and watch it.

2. Q – Juice – Omar Epps

Not only was this movie about hip hop culture in the mecca of New York city, it has some of the best actors portraying the roles. Tupac was amazing as Bishop and Omar Epps was even better as Q. The soundtrack was incredible and the DJ battle scenes gave the rest of America a look at the talent they showcased.

1. Kenny “Double K” Kirkland – Beat Street – Guy Davis

Double K is probably the most inspirational DJ roles ever portrayed in a movie. Many working DJ’s have credited the scene where he is making a mix with common sounds like water dripping as what made them want to be a DJ. Beat Street cover everything form DJing to graffiti art in a classic hip hop inspired movie with a great story to boot.

Top 10 DJ characters form movies Part 1:

Uncategorized, , , , , , ,

Here it is part one of the official VJ street list on the best DJ characters from movies. Until recently DJ’s were always in the background. Now that they demand the limelight we felt it was only right to point out the pioneers in regards to movie characters.

10. Darell Williams- In the mix – Usher

Although this movie was not the best movie around earning a less than impressive 14% on rotten tomatoes. Its about a DJ that becomes a bodyguard and probably shouldn’t have. The fact that the main character is a DJ and its played by a musician Darell makes the list.

9. DJ Evil – Zoolander – Justin Theroux

What is a movie without a fight scene? Then what would this list be with out a fight scene involving a DJ. Thank you to Zoolander and DJ Evil we have that fight scene.

 8. Bilal – House Party – Martin Lawrence

House Party one and two were huge movies in the hip hop community.  There are countless memorable scenes and cameos in the movie. Martin Lawrence was not the star that we know him to be when these movies came out but he had some great lines that could have possibly lead him there.

7. DJ Request- The Goods – Craig Robinson

Although he didn’t get a lot of screen time, when he did it was hilarious. He does give into any request’s even though his name is DJ Request and has a mantra that he repeats to remind him self of the power a DJ poses.

6. Chris the glove – Breakin – Chris the Glove Taylor

Breakin was another movie that was instrumental in exposing the masses to hip hop culture. Although Ice-T was the more recognizable entertainer in these videos, the beats were provided by Chris the Glove. INspiring kids to be DJ’s themselves Chris the Glove is the first person on this list that was actually a working DJ

Welcome back Mr.Electronica

Uncategorized, , , ,

 

jay-z-jay-electronica-

Jay Electronica has been enjoying the spoils of his relationship with the lovely Kate Rothschild, he hasn’t necessarily been making noise with his music. His once promising rap career seemed top be derailed by his partners wealth, she did after all leave her husband to be with Mr. Electronica.

Well now he’s back and he brought controversy with him, in the form of Jay-Z. A few weeks ago Drake had made a comment on Hova’s reference to owning expensive art that as something that most people cant relate to, and I cant say I disagree. Either way Jay-Z didnt take to his comment and made a comment of his own, even referring to him as Miss. Drizzy. So is this real beef or just a fabricated argument strategically placed for promotion? Only time will tell.
