Entre Les Lignes by Cyrus Pavel: Al Kooper et Jay-Z – Love Theme/Soon You’ll Understand

Watching demolition man I am realizing one thing.  That even when I first saw this flick at the movie theatre back in 1993 I thought then it was just as corny as today yet still loved it! LOL.  Wesley Snipes, Sylvester Stallone, the future, taco bell, and that hot black haired girl in the killer [...]

Kevin Casey’s Sample Saturday – Latimore et Isaac Hayes et Jay-Z

From Reasonable Doubt to In My LIfetime Vol. 1, Jay-Z’s approach as a rapper went through some noticeable changes, lyrically and also with choice of production.  On his debut, the bulk of the tracks were handled by Clark Kent, Ski Beatz, and the homey DJ Premier.  His sophomore effort had a little bit more gloss in it’s production, mostly due to the [...]

Jay-Z – Addicted to the Game (Unreleased)

I’m supposed to be at my Skidmore 5 year reunion today but instead I’m in the California countryside gathering my thoughts, thinking music and getting ready for my next campaign. I’m addicted to the game, this shit keeps calling my name, I need to…” I remember back when The Blueprint came out this track got [...]

Say Goodbye to Hollywood

Apologies to all our readers, I’ve been out in LA this week and haven’t had the time to post. You can’t blame me, it’s hard to think about blogging while driving down Pacific highway or walking around Venice beach, it’s just not gonna happen. Nevertheless, I woke up early because I didn’t want to leave [...]
