It's the end of November, the snow has started falling, it's the way it goes, things go in cycles. The Off The Hook crew ate at Milsa's, a Brazilian BBQ 'all you can eat' joint, we're all meatified up after stuffing ourselves on 10 kinds of meat.

















This year we'll be broadcasting on Christmas eve, it's all about us and baby Jesus ...yah.

Next week we'll be broadcasting from Jupiter Room, come check us/it out. Budda ran down a Zulu NAtion show that happened in town last week. MC Breed passed away this week, he did that song "No Future in Yo' Frontin'.

In studio, we had Northern Lights promoting a show that's coming up, Smif & Wessun will be playing at Club Lambi along with NL5 and Magnum 357
And we also had Tek Luciano , click his name to check his Myspace page.

The phones were broken so we had no callers during the freestyles, boo.

Vid-yo

Here's a video from an Eric B & Rakim performance in Montreal. Can't figure out what club it's at. 



Credit goes to The Meaning of Dope for the video.
Apparently he was always rapping over vocal tracks. When I saw him last June in NYC, he definitely dropped that aspect, thankfully.

epilogue; Looking at the ceiling during the video made me think that it may have been at another spot, Chang informed me tonight that as a youth he was present at the show, it went down at James Lyng high school, I was there a year before attending a Public Enemy show.

We talked about last week's show from Jupiter Room. New Year's Eve is falling on a Wednesday, we don't know what'll be going with us. We talked about U.S. politics for some reason.
Budda and I booed Sirius/XM, they were two companies with equally good programming, I went with XM and Budda went with Sirius, I turned on my XM today to find that one of the two channels that I listen to were gone, The Rhyme 65. Further looking showed that some Sirius channels were there, but the old school hip-hop XM channel wasn't even replaced with the Sirius old school Backspin channel and even Sirius just dropped their old school channel, WHERE'S OUR FUCKING OLD SCHOOL HIP-HOP?!?

Live from Jupiter Room Nov.5th

Last Wednesday we had a good night broadcasting from Jupiter Room. Royal Peasants and Northern Lights pulled off good sets. We were busy with that so we didn't get a chance to check out Ill Bill who was playing at Foufs.

Power

I'm not trying to turn this into a porn blog or anything but 20 years ago, many guys were staring at and soaking in Darlene on the cover and back cover of Ice-T's Power LP. That damn cassette cover was too small for my taste, the rich folks had the CD and the lucky assed DJs had the the vinyl. Anyways, commemorating the 20 year anniversary of the album that thrust Ice-T to the wider listening public, King magazine got Darlene, who looks way better than Ice-T's current squeeze Coco, and recreated her portion of the cover, she's now 41.











































I've still got my tape;

Notorius trailer
