Jay Electronica - Exhibit A

Check out this single from Jay Electronica, produced by Just Blaze. Jay has been collaborating with the likes of Talib Kweli and Mos Def. This is Exhibit A, the first of three (Exhibit C was just recently released). You might not guess it from his style but he's a New Orleans rapper. Needless to say the bar has been raised.

Super Mash Brothers- 12/6 at the Palace

On Friday Night December 6th, the Super Mash Brothers will be playing a concert at the Palace. This is event is sponsored by WeFunk and CAB Music. Similar to Girl Talk, the Super Mash Bros are known for their mash-ups of all types of popular music. Great for a late night dance party! The show is called for 11, so it is safe to say they won't go on until midnight.

I would suggest getting there closer to eleven, as over 700 people are expected at a venue that barely holds 300. Godspeed to all those who attend. Pregame appropriately.

Who's Bad- Michael Jackson Tribute Band

On Wednesday November 18th, Who's Bad, a Michael Jackson tribute band will be playing a concert at the Hall of Presidents.

The event is bought to you by The Blue Diamond Society, The Colgate Jewish Union and Broad Street Records. BSR's own Jango Radley and CRRABS will start the event off at 845PM, followed by Who's Bad at 10PM.

Those who attended Bandfest on Saturday November 7th witnessed stellar performances by each of these two up and coming crews. CRRABS did an array of covers ranging from Dispatch to Rage Against the Machine, delighting the crowd throughout their 30-minute set. Jango Radley played for the first time with their full band including lead singer Liz Barnett, adding some more soul to the already soulful group. At one point, they broke out into a jam, leading into a funky cover of "Party in the USA." Other highlights were "Supernatural Creatures," a Dan Lasker original, and their reggae cover of "Remix to Ignition."

*For the few people who were their from the beginning, these lucky ones had the privilege of seeing the Sophomore hip hop artist Velle Phyre. Rapping over familiar beats like "Run This Town" and "NY State of Mind," VP had the crowd rocking out to a very impressive hip hop performance. His flow and wit were proven in what seemed to be one of his most resonating tracks. Explaining to his Chicago peers who have never heard of Colgate, Velle rips a chorus of, "Fuck you bitch, I go to Colgate." His unique lyrics and sick timing certainly impressed this BSR correspondent.

Mike Posner Video

For those of you who don't know Mike Posner i've attached a cool youtube video of his live show last year at Duke's version of Spring Party Weekend. Notice in the end of the video the PA system shuts off his mic, and he literally a capella's the rest of the track!


I've also attached the link to download his first mixtape, "Just in Time," for free. For those of you unfamiliar with Datpiff you can download the mixtape for free by cicking on the tab below his album.

Concert Preview- Mike Posner and Mt. Eerie- October 29th

Colgate University can expect a great night of music on October 29th, 2009.  At 7PM, SCOPE will be presenting a concert featuring Mt. Eerie with openers TJO and No Kids.  The event will take place at Donavans Pub, where the bar will actually be open.   Come by, have a drink and enjoy some chill acoustic music to dewind after a long week of midterms and craziness.

If you are looking to party afterwards, make your way over to Beta for a concert from Mike Posner.  The show is sponsored by WRCU and CAB Music.  Posner will most likely go on stage around 11PM.  Known for collaborations with Big Sean, Posner is a a full-time student at Duke University and continues to tour while completing his rigorous studies.  His name is growing in the Hip Hop community as one of the next great producer/DJs..  He has been recruited by the likes of Kanye West and has worked with some of the biggest names in the business.

Check out this Biggie Mash-Up with Miley Cyrus "Party in the USA." In my opinion, the real song is a guilty pleasure in and of itself. But this just puts it over the top.

Oh yeah, and another thing...

Mayer Hawthorne - Green Eyed Love

Mayer Hawthorne is the thirty-year old currently stirring up a great amount of buzz worldwide. He is currently signed to the top-notch west coast independent label Stones Throw Records (Madlib, J Dilla, Oh No, Percee P, Guilty Simpson, James Pants, Dam-Funk, Dudley Perkins, etc. etc.) His debut album entitled A Strange Arrangement was released on 9.9.09. Hawthorne is currently wrapping up a tour on the west coast with the one and only Ghostface Killah, who just so happens to be an avid fan of Hawthorne's old school throwback Motown vibe. After that he will begin an extensive tour across Europe. Hawthorne's list of influences include the likes of Curtis Mayfield, Isaac Hayes, Barry White, and Smokey Robinson. Quite an intriguing list for a white boy from Michigan. Hawthorne also performs Hip-Hop music under the stage name Haircut and occasionally as part of the groups Now On and Athletic Mic League.

The following video was just released on the web today. It is the closing track off of his new album. The single of the track is being released with a few remixes and instrumental versions. The vinyl edition will be colored neon green. Pretty sweet.

Broad Street Records Now an Official Colgate Organization

As of last tuesday night Broad Street Records is now an SGA recognized group at Colgate. The organization is meant to serve as a conduit between student groups and on-campus artists and bands, both to help groups find musicians for their events and to help bands find performance opportunities. The label is currently reaching out to student bands and artists to help them record and produce their own material, through the talents of producer Garrington Spence and engineer Will Plaehn. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for news from on-campus artists, as we will be posting some of their material on this blog soon!

Concert Review- Reel Big Fish

The majority of students missed the epic opener of Earthman Embassy on the big theta chi stage.  Led by the vocal stylings of Mr. Ben Taylor, those present in the crowd were wooed by his British accent and nasty guitar skills.  Will Plaehn supplied the beats on drums, keeping the crowd dancing and captivated throughout the set.  George Zeitler provided some magic on the keys, while Jeremy Padow grooved on the base.  The boys certainly utilized the big-stage set-up, playing a few covers and a few originals.  The most notable cover was an Outkast cover of Hey Ya, putting a large smile on the faces of many students..

Reel Big Fish came out in full ska-glory.  Rocking their hipster gear and party-starting mentality, the band got right into it, starting an hour and a half set that would make about seven hundred Colgate students extremely amped.  Whether it was the fun music, enthusiastic performance or the sheer drunkenness of the Saturday night Colgate crowd, nobody seemed to notice the continuous downpour that lasted throughout the set.  Hundreds left the show satisfied and thoroughly drenched, to go to the official after-party over at DU.  A long day of tailgating (The Raiders moved to 4-0) and quality music provided the atmosphere for an excellent Saturday for all here in Hamilton, NY.

NO MORE after this. I swear I'm done.

The Colgate-based rock band Earthman Embassy will be starting the show at 8PM, followed by ska-rock band Reel Big Fish. The concert is free for all students, but a $5 donation is requested to support local food pantries.

The last time Reel Big Fish was here, they killed it on Colgate University's Whitnall Field for Spring Party Weekend 2004.

Dirt Nasty at Colgate!

It has been announced that Dirt Nasty, the known associate of Mickey Avalon and Andre Legacy, will be performing at Colgate University on Friday night October 9th.   

The show will be from Midnight to 2AM and will be in downtown Hamilton, at the infamous Palace Theatre.

The miraculous approval of this show by the administration baffles the minds of many music fans on campus.  Our hats go off to the class councils who managed to pull this off.  His raw and questionable lyrics often refer to hard drugs, sex and alcohol, making this perhaps the most low-brow, sensational concert to ever take place at Colgate University.

The rapper known as Dirty Nasty will undoubtedly satisfy the party-crazed Colgate student body and show us all a genuine, good-old night of debauchery.   

Check out the video of his hit single 1980.  Parental Supervision is advised.

REVIEW: Jay-Z - The Blueprint 3

*** (out of 5)

I don't run New York no more / I run the map.

This is how the story goes for just about every mainstream MC: burst onto the scene with a phenomenal debut, go pop, lose your street cred, and eventually lose your record contract. The first phase of Sean Carter's career was just that. Reasonable Doubt was released in 1996 to limited commercial success but glowing praise, immediately drawing comparisons to Nas's Illmatic and firmly establishing Jay as a contender for New York's hip-hop throne, which had been vacated following Biggie's passing. Over the next several years, subsequent albums such as In My Lifetime and The Life and Times of S. Carter turned Jay-Z into a superstar. Featuring production from the likes of Puff Daddy and the Neptunes, these albums had a much more polished pop sound that created some of the decade's biggest hits ("Big Pimpin," et al). For hip-hop heads, however, this music was a far cry from the Jay-Z they had adored earlier on. At the turn of the millenium, Jay-Z had risen to the top of the rap game, but left many wondering if true hip-hop still had any place left in his mind.

Headed towards has-been status? Not at all. In 2001 (9/11 to be exact), Jay-Z pulled off a first in popular hip-hop history -- he went back to his roots. The result -- after just two days of writing and two weeks of recording -- was The Blueprint, an absolute masterpiece of an album that, true to its title, helped set the standard for modern hip-hop. Boasting hard-hitting social commentary, and a unique soul-meets-gangster production style thanks largely in part to a relatively unknown beatmaker named Kanye West*, the album catapulted Jay-Z into rap's stratosphere, and he has not relinquished his status since.

Now of course, in the world of hip-hop there have been superior MC's, both in terms of lyricism and commercial appeal. What The Blueprint did was establish Jay-Z as hip-hop's greatest crossover, one who has mastered the delicate balance between the streets and the clubs, and who as a result has continued to prosper as others have only temporarily triumphed.

This position has had its ups and downs, no question about it. From a pure celebrity standpoint, Jay-Z is a global icon. He sells out soccer stadiums in Europe, tours Africa as a UN ambassador, and meets Bill Gates for lunch. Really, the only people left to do battle with are Mick Jagger and Bono. Artistically, however, Jay is at a point where he can say whatever he wants and remain atop the charts regardless. This has led to a decidedly mixed repertoire post-Blueprint, ranging from The Black Album (classic) to Kingdom Come ($5 bin at WalMart), with the overstuffed Blueprint 2 and cool-but-slow American Gangster lying somewhere in between.

All of this leads to last week's release of The Blueprint 3, which, musically, is an accurate portrayal of where Jay-Z is at right now. As mentioned before, this often leads to mixed results, but thankfully, when you have this man on the mic, you're far more likely to be entertained than disappointed. The first half of the album ranks with his best work, with each track guaranteed to fill the airwaves for the next year. He seems truly hungry for the first time since his "retirement" six years ago, as evidenced by his call to arms in "D.O.A. (Death of AutoTune) and the lyrical prowess of opener "What We Talkin' About" ("Grown men want me to sit 'em on my lap / But I don't have a beard and Santa Clause ain't black"). The album's standout has to be the Kanye-produced "Empire State of Mind," an ode to the Big Apple with another one of New York's finest, Miss Alicia Keys, anchoring the chorus. It's amazing that these two have never collaborated together before -- the combination is perfect.

The last bars of "On to the Next One" ("MJ of SummerJam / Obama on the text...) close out what would have been a fantastic seven-track EP...if only the album didn't drop off so steeply during the second half. The three Timbaland tracks are undercooked, with "Off That" the only one that can make heads nod a bit. "A Star Is Born" is meant to be a shout-out to all of the other MC's doing their thing nowadays, but given that Jay spends every song beforehand bashing all of them, in context it makes absolutely no sense. And two more Kanye productions, "Haters" and "Young Forever," should have been left out completely.

So there you have it. The album's first handful of songs is Jay-Z the rock star showcasing why he became one in the first place, and as for the rest...well, to paraphrase the Jigga man himself, "What more can I say?" The Blueprint 3: inconsistent. Jay-Z: still on top.

SPECIAL NOTE: When the official numbers are in tomorrow, The Blueprint 3 will debut at #1 on the Billboard charts, giving Jay-Z his 11th chart-topper. He will then be trailing only the Beatles as the artist with the most #1 albums of all time, and will gain sole possession of the record for a solo act. That's right. As of tomorrow, Jay-Z will have more #1 albums than Elvis. Unbelievable.

This is why the beats on American Gangster were so gangster.

Brother Ali brings Minnesota to the Unprepared Gate

Scope's first show of the academic calender featured the minneapolis sensation, Brother Ali. As an MC Brother Ali mixes cutting witticism and clever pun, in a funk-filled delight cooked up by his all-star DJ, BK-One. Ali's appearance on the music scene in hamilton NY, took many of the automatons on this campus off guard. A white guy, who is in fact an albino, why do I want to hear him rap? Well fool, the man could lyrically scalp you and the other main-stream hip-hop, might I say RAP artists you listen to.

The show as a whole was a success. The opening act, the Swagged up Squad, featured their original dance moves and hard hitting beats. An entertainment for all, whether you slide and glide, or not. Following up the swagger, Fourte performed. The quartet featured the hypnotizing beats of G Spence, soulful sounds of Uzi, the Mayer-esque vocal stylings of Colin McLoughlin, and the tight flow of Ty. Although the set was not well lit (literally, no lights) Fourte managed to move the crowd and bring it to full bounce with their smash single, "Hit the Floor."

Brother Ali and DJ BK One, watched the openers from their merchandise table in the back corner of the Hop. Taking the stage, the Cold-gate audience was surprised by Ali's appearance. Many left the show not knowing the knowledge that they were about to miss. Ali's performance was nothing short of perfection. His unique flow and cadence enraptured the die-hard hip-hop heads that crashed the front of the stage. A much anticipated "Forest Whitiker" produced a chorus of outburst in the crowd, and "Take Me Home" was met with dance steps and vigor by the receptive audience. This school has much to learn, about recognizing truth, talent and not letting its cookie-cutter white-bread soul get in the way of developing a new and greater musical consciousness. I thank all the true supporters for making this show a success, and giving a king like Brother Ali the appropriate reception and applause he deserved.

The Bad Rabbits Kicked Ass... Again

It was 830 PM on a beautiful, clear evening in Hamilton, NY and the backyard of the Beta Theta Pi house was unrecognizable.  What was once grass was now sand,  and the large Chiddy Bang Crew flocked to the stage to cheer on their DJ, Xaphoon Jones..

18 year old Xaphoon Jones played some sweet homemade mashups and beats to start the party off right, leading up to another epic opener from the Bad Rabbits.  Performing an array of Michael Jackson covers, the Bad Rabbits had a thousand Colgate students jumping and grinding in the crowd for the entire duration of their set.  

Unlimited amounts of Coors Light Kegs and a crazy fun party atmosphere made this one of the best Beta Beaches in recent memory.  As most people there were indeed hammered, a strong consensus emerged about the awesomeness of the party.  

Chiddy Bang followed the Bad Rabbits with an opening solo performance from the dude, Xaphoon Jones.  Xaphoon rocked out with a purple hoodless sweatshirt and white addidas, making the show feel more like a DJed NYC club than the backyard of Beta.  Xaphoon continued to rock it until the rappers of Chiddy Bang finally started to rap... The young DJs beats never tired, but this hip hop head was truly disappointed by a crunk-wannabe performance from the seven or so rappers in Chiddy Bang.  

Everyone enjoyed the show and Chiddy Bang absolutely served the purpose of the evening.  Drunk music for drunk people.  Xaphoon Jones and the Bad Rabbits seemed to come out on top, rocking Beta Beach 2009.

Beta Beach 2009- Chiddy Bang

It has been announced that the annual concert fiesta known as “Beta Beach” will be taking place on Saturday evening September 5th. This year, the main event will be the party starting rap group known as Chiddy Bang. The Bad Rabbits (aka Eclectic Collective) will be the opener, the same group that opened for Slick Rick in 2007 and Wiz Khalifa in 2008.

I have some very fond memories from Beta Beach 2007, when we were stunned to see an amazing performance by the unknown Eclectic Collective, who at the time was Slick Rick’s house band... Hip hop fans were awed when Slick Rick came out and did a brilliant rendition of his epic classic, “Lodi Dodi.” The only thing missing in my opinion was the sound of Doug E. Fresh beat-boxing in the background. Rocking his gold chains and pimped-out eye patch, Slick Rick brought us back to the 1980s and the dawn of Hip-hop’s golden age.

I was definitely not as impressed by a lackluster performance from sir Wiz Khalifa in 2008, following a sweet opener from the Bad Rabbits. Playing Fugees, Biggie, and Damian Marley covers in addition to a few original songs, Mr. Khalifa was out-performed by the seemingly underrated Rabbit crew.

Always known for being one of the biggest parties of the year, seniors will be happy to know that drinks are free all night long with 21+ identification. Even if Chiddy Bang is absolutely miserable, the presence of the Colgate classic Bad Rabbits and unlimited alcohol make this an event not to be missed.

So hit up the Beta backyard on September 5th for the first big concert of the fall 2009 semester... Plenty of good times to be had.

Welcome Back Week- Brother Ali

Rhymesayers Entertainment recording artist Brother Ali will be performing at Colgate University on Wednesday September 9th, 2009. A must-see for all underground hip hop fans. Featuring opening performances by Colgate’s own Fourte and Swagged Up Squad.

21st - the saga

Although this may seem off the topic of music or Colgate culture, I have decided that because I am a musician and a vital member of the Colgate community that this story that I am about to recall is necessary to all who enjoy momentous birthdays and being severely fucked up. For those of you who are not always bothered by facebook birthday announcements, the weekend before last was my 21st birthday. This post is not to get more birthday wishes, cards or money, rather it is to share my day/night of shenanigans and relay what I have peiced together from second hand reports of my blacked out night in Beantown.

The day began with a tail-gate at Gillette Stadium, 52 beers consumed by five in an hour and a half. Walking into the stadium chanting with the mexican "la barra" discount group, my tally was at 10 drinks, 5:30pm. Watching the revolution get worked over by the galaxy, Beckham sucks, killed three more beers, leaving the stadium at 13 drinks for the day. Before returning to my house for dinner, stopped off at the liqour store and grabbed the biggest bottle of Belvedere alive. By the time I made it to the bar on Newbury street, I was at 17 drinks. I remember up to the point in the story. It was around this time that the citizens of the bar got wind that it was my 21st, the drinks started rolling in. Next thing I new I passed 21 drinks, with a tequilla shot for lucky 22. Then I woke up in my buddy's bed at 8:30 in the am, he was two inches away from me sleeping on top of a pillow that shielded him from my stomach juices.

The next morning, the night from 12:00am-4:30am was recapped for me by my four cohorts, while sitting around my kitchen table. First, I was alerted that I was kicked out of the bar after my 25th drink, for calling some girl a "dirty whore." Supposedly her boyfriend got pissed, and wanted to start shit. My boys had my blacked out back. For sake of keeping identities anonymous, my good friend M executed the greatest diffusing of a situation of this century. In response to the boyfriend saying "he called my girlfriend a dirty whore, she's not a dirty whore!" M replied, "HAVE SOME SELF-CONFIDENCE MAN" the boyfriend wailed back "I have self confidence." After being escorted out of the bar, my buddy and I proceeded to get back in line, trying to get back into the same bar.

The Cop at the door told us "Take the FAHKIN PAAATY ELSE WHEERE." Falling over each other we start walking intent on finding another bar. I reach in my pocket for my phone and drop it on the ground. A thirty year old balding man, picks up my phone, puts it in his pocket, and starts to run. I start screaming at the top of my lungs, "Give me my phone back you mother fucker, give my muther-fuckin phone back." While chasing the thief, I catch up to him and slug him in the right side of the head. I was told I followed him ten blocks, all the way to the prudential center, through the doors, up an escalator, hitting him roughly forty times. The blood shed of the night occurred when I went to throw a haymaker and missed horrible spinning down to the sidewalk cutting my hand open. After my assault on a middle aged bandit, I got my phone back, and was trouble free for five minutes until the pigs got me.

I believe it was for drunk and disorderly, but none of us can recall the reason for me being suppressed. Out of nowhere, one cop swiftly took me down and put me in an arm submission hold, shortly three cops cars pulled up to the scene. I was being held by two cops and surrounded by ten others. My drunk friends were trying to negotiate my release, "It's his twenty first, let him go, he's not hurting anybody." This may have helped my case, but the whole time I was yelling, "give my phone back you fucking cops, fuck you, you fucking cops !(again this is not conscious me saying these absurd things). Some how, some way, thanks to my friends pleading I was released from the circle of po-po and ushered into a cab.

This would have been great, if either one of the two of us in the cab had any cash, and if I wasn't hurling behind the seat of the cabbie. To conclude this very long story, I used an ATM, blacked out at 4:00 am, to pay the cab. Had to walk back from the ATM to my friends house, 15 min walk, bleeding all the way on his white t. The next morning at the recap and comedy session, we realized that everyone had my blood on their shirts, accept me. All that shows is that when you drink 25 drinks in one day, you gotta had some friends to bleed on and get bailed out by. Without them you end up getting beat up for calling a girl and dirty whore, arrested for drunk and disorderly, and kicked out of a cab for booting on the plexi-glass.

I wanted to share this story, for a couple reasons, first I know the enjoyment most of you will get from reading this, but secondly to post something so outrageous that it would be impossible for this blog not to be a success. Let the banter begin. Beers on me.
