Digging while Riding

For some true Memphis-type pimping, you have to check out Memphis' own Isaac Hayes breezy tune from the Truck Turner soundtrack. But make sure you listed to it with the windows down, and a pretty woman riding shotgun.

Get Down

I first ran across this song a few years ago when the first DJ Hero game came out with their cold mix with Afrika Bambaataa's "Zulu Nation Throwdown". I figured this had to be a classic DJ Flash mix from the classic days because it blended so well together. Nevertheless, I wanted to share the song by itself with the DCD Family.

Because I love you, I'll include the the Bambaata song...

What the hey... here's the DJ Hero Mix with both of them together

Undig Yourself

This is one of James Brown's old "flames". She dropped a few hits that made quite a buzz in both the 60s Soul Era, as well as the hip hop era. We dug her a while back and had to bring her back up to the speaker for your listening pleasure. Now check out Marva making us Unwind! Shout out to Ed Lover for dancing and DJ Kool for Clearing His Throat to this one...

Love Digging

Check out jazz great, Lou Donaldson. For you hip hoppers, Eazy Mo Bee sampled this a few times. See if you can pick it up.
