Isaac Hayes 1942 - 2008

Sixty-five year old music legend Isaac Hayes died Sunday. Of course, I remember Isaac Hayes for his baritone vocals and funky rhythms on his classic hit soundtrack for “Shaft.” He really set the theme for generations of funk and soul musicians with that groundbreaking album. ‘Black Moses’ was also released in 1971, [...]

Bonus: Isaac Hayes performance footage from the 1973 film Wattstax.

Friday Classic: Escape From New York (1981)

A 1981 Sci-fi/Action thriller, Escape from New York, is a film whose visual style holds up even today. Written, directed and scored by the legendary John Carpenter, Escape from New York, takes us to a futuristic, dystopia, Manhattan in the year 1997. The movie revolves around the island, which is now fenced off and used as a Maximum Security Prison, housing some of the most ruthless criminals ever. It is like this because the US crime rate increased 400%. When the President of the United State

Mayer Hawthorne & The County

I’ve just discovered Mayer Hawthorne & The County, the newest addition to the Stones Throw lineup, and I can’t stop listening. Influenced by his hometown Detroit where he grew up listening to pioneers like Isaac Hayes and Smokey Robinson, Hawthorne plays, sings, and produces amazingly souley modern ‘retro’ jams. While he’s only got two songs [...]

For the Troops II - More Free Music

For the second year in a row, a number of popular artists have produced a collection of their songs and made them available for free to members of the US military. The CD, For the Troops II, is their way of remembering and honoring the members of the military services this holiday season. John Ondrasik of Five For Fighting said the CD “at its core is a thank you to those whose sacrifice secures our freedom and that of our children.” The CD includes: 3 Doors Down – When I’m Gone Daughtry - Hom

I'm Gonna Git You Sucka

The Wayans brother/brothers have created another parody classic in the guise of a blaxploitation spoof. I'm Gonna Git You Sucka is essentially a post-blaxploitation flick. But not in such familiar territory that Master P. once tried to dominate with his horrible film aptly titled Black Supaman. Exhibit A: Notice the Supaman. Surely these ebonic syllables must be a dramatic representation of the urban roots. With the words "Git" and "Sucka", The Wayans Brothers have already snagged half of the b

Millie Jackson & Isaac Hayes - Royal Rappin's [1979]

Royal Rappin's certainly looks great on paper it's the pairing of two of music's most loquacious and sexually geared acts, Millie Jackson and Isaac Hayes but despite all its potential, the album doesn't impress quite like it could have. A few years earlier, Hayes recorded a live double album with Dionne Warwick and the sparks were more than genuine. With Jackson and the declining Muscle Shoals sound though, it seems more like a terrible blind date that can't end soon enough. Part of the proble

Permalink Thursday, November 20, 2008 samccx Am listening to the likes of Al Jarreau and Isaac Hayes. We're learning conflicts in World Issues now. Did Rwanda and of course, DR Congo. Next week we're gonna do Speed Issues - a combination of Speed Dating and World Issues. Hee. I'm gonna research on UN Peacekeeping in Haiti. Sad to say, I've learnt that the UN is not as independant and influence-free (from countries) as I thought they were :( Been debating between taking up an Englis

PCC 2008: Let’s get it started

PAST collegiate post-season tournaments never had the luster that individual leagues like the NCAA or UAAP had. Blame it on mismanagement, scheduling, or even prominent hoops programs withdrawing on the eleventh hour. Whatever the reason is, the country???s never been able to bestow the official title of ???the nation???s best??? on any team. All that should change with the 2008 Philippine Collegiate Championship. The most organized and structured after-October cage gathering is down to its Sw

Cowboys 35, 49ers 22: (Much to Our Chagrin) Terrell Owens Proves Himself Right

I have stood by my quasi-research proving that receivers make a sharp decline starting around the age of 34 or 35. That certainly didn’t hold up today, to say the least. A 36-year-old receiver named Isaac Bruce caught eight passes for 125 yards and a touchdown. Bruce’s performance was nothing, though, compared with the game that Terrell Owens had. After Dallas had started slow and had fallen behind in the 1st quarter, Owens made the first play that gave Dallas the lead for good. Owens got be

Meka’s Soul Mix EP: Notorious B.I.G.’s “Biggie Smalls Is The Wickedest” Freestyle

Usually I don’t do samples of freestyles, but when I heard Frank White throw a weird combination of homophobic ranting (”Niggas press they luck and they get a butt-fuckin’…”), self-deprecating humor and a wild, untamed flow (”Getting back to the black rhinoceros of rap/Big took a loss, how preposterous is that?”), I had to find what exactly he rapped over.
