VIDEO: The Making Of Jay Electronica’s Exhibit A
July 6, 2010
According to DJ Semtex Jay Electronica just found this on his hard drive. He, Just Blaze, DJTJ The King and Mike Chav were in Detroit when this went down.
I echo his sentiment that this is dope to watch but where is the ALBUM?? Don’t make me start harassing Angela Yee on Twitter.
DJ Premier Gave Fat Joe “I’m Gone” Beat Day Guru Died
June 15, 2010
“If you don’t like real hip-hop get the fuck out!” was all you had to hear from Fat Joe during a listening session for his 10th studio album The Dark Side at NY’s Skyline Studios. From the first note of the Scram Jones produced intro you know there will be no jumping in pools with furs on in these videos. “Everybody gets killed in the dark side, there is no happiness here!”
The beats definitely back up his claim. The soundbed is more like a casket with dark, head-busting selections from Just Blaze, Cool & Dre and DJ Premier.
“We had to go classic on this one right here,” Joe said of the outtro called “I’m Gone. “ It’s from my brother Preemo. He sent it to me the day Guru passed, so its’ a little different from the normal Preemo song. But it’s so incredible.”
On the track Joe spits: “I’m gangster/ F— that, I’m Gang Starr…Tell Nas hip-hop’s dead now/ My man’s gone.”
UPDATE: Here is the track:

Why Am I So Offended By Just Blaze’s Haddaway Sample?
June 9, 2010
Spotted this at Metal Lungies and had to share because I have had a similar disinterest in Eminem since Relapse and yet was equally intrigued when I heard Just Blaze was providing beats for Recovery. Check it:
I lost all interest in Eminem after Relapse, but when he announced that Just Blaze was producing the bulk of the followup, I reluctantly got excited. Just Blaze, the man behind all the Roc-A-Fella classics, “Oh Boy” and most recently “Exhibit C.” This should be interesting, I thought.
Last night, Recovery leaked online and one of the first songs I heard was “No Love” which contains a prominent sample of Haddaway’s “What Is Love.” Utterly disturbed, I went on Twitter to cry about it and call out Mr. Blaze.
