charles – yeah, I heard bits of the $20 dillema (check that link above) joint. I got a friend coming through in a couple weeks who wants to do some record shopping out here (I haven’t been to any of the local shops in a minute), and I wouldn’t be surprised if I find it out here. You’d be sort of shocked to see what crazy records can be floating around in Tokyo. As soon as my connection decides it wants to speed up, I’m gonna check out that mix, though – good looking out.

i’m confused why you’re talking about Wu Tang Forever and the summer school quote from Bellz of War when you put Can’t Go to Sleep on the mix.. does he say it again on the W?

Charles – no doubt, sir. Had you heard of DJ Sprinkles before this? Definitely a new name to me – but I’m not a house expert by any stretch. Speaking of which, though – any recommendations?

Brer – ha, I was starting to wonder if there was a spinoff of Ninja Tune. Trouser Jazz is not a label I’m really up on, though…

Megatron – really? That joint I put up on ep 82 was just bananas to me. But yeah, he seems to be versatile enough to run over a pretty wide range of beats. Games though…can’t lie, nothing on the immediate horizon, but you never know.

Carl – an old school session is definitely in the works, but not what you might be expecting…

Chris – and that debate of real/fake is an important one – and the further away you get from the hood, the more important and twisted (and thus important) it gets. From the ghetto to the suburbs to the Hills and then overseas. You’d be amazed (okay, maybe not) at how many people in Tokyo really, truly believe what is being said on these records.

I actually touched on this in a presentation I did last week in a seminar at the uni. Talking about rappidy raps in an academic situation is still weird to me.

But that urge, though – I think you can draw it back further than that, If you want. Slave days, Africa, if you want.

Lemme check this tape out, though. Stoner Metal. hm.

p.s. not most songs we heard already

Thank You,

Stay Up Stay Real Stay Awake

The Recipe ft. Gucci Mane – E-40

Teaching you how to cook crack, well, I guess that is real if that is your life. It’s what you know. That opens the whole debate of how fake portrayed rapper’s life styles, but you get my point. Other people are just trying to tell you what it’s like. Almost like tat Crooked I song you posted. Running out in the streets in your boxers and blasting off. Let it be known that is how you live your life.

Maybe I got it all wrong. Yo, Dex, if you get bored and want to explore a new genre I posted a mix tape looking at the development of Stoner Metal: http://badankles.com/?p=39 It’s pretty ok. Keep the podclasses coming, I’m loving it! Peace.

Good lookin for putting me on that..

And when ae u going to have anymore 360 game contests? The NBA 2k8 is old now..LOL

Dex another great episode, i just wanna thank you for putting together great episodes, turning me on to new artist such as jay electronica! my man is the bizz and shaun boothe!! respect for that one.
I cant stand mainstream garbage aka lil wayne, kanye, and whoever else! anyways anyways sorry for the sidebar there….but that dj sprinkles cut is on point..being a dj that spins house i really thought that was dope of you to throw that track in the mix! also that rasta cut by shaun boothe was bananas!!

alright my man dex, keep it real
lookin forward to the next show

peace

Charlie – I don’t know if she has a myspace (she should?) – but if you check out Sol Messiah’s page, there might be some info there. That’s the dude on production who’s been giving me the tracks. I think actually Brothertron has one that I haven’t heard yet, actually.

Gecko – hahaha did I go somewhere? I know, I know, delays…I’m trying!
