To celebrate The Halftime Show’s 12th Anniversary, DJ Eclipse had a crazy lineup of mc’s rhyming in the booth over beats from Krysis, DJ Babu, & DJ Scratch. MC’s included legendary Flavor Unit member Chill Rob G, Sadat X, Rhymefest, Torae, Skyzoo, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Tiye Phoenix, Smiley The Ghetto Child, Chace Infinite, Illa Ghee and many more. They also had DJ breaks with the legendary X-Men (aka The X-Ecutioners). For the people who were tuning in live, you were able to see the whole show on video being broadcasted through Ustream.. unfortunately they weren’t able to record it. They just posted the live recording from the radio a couple hours ago. Enjoy!

Apache – R.I.P. Jan.22.10
Friday, January 22nd, 2010
Paying my tribute to one of the original Flavor Unit crew member, Apache, I compiled all of his appearances on records from 1989 to 1993 and the 12″ cuts from his 1993 solo album “Apache Ain’t Shit“. Starting out with Lakim Shabazz on 45 King’s Rhythmical Madness in 1989. Following with four appearances on the Flavor Unit album in 1990. In 1991, he’s on Naughty By Nature & Double J‘s album. In 1993, for his 12″s cuts, he receives production from A Tribe Called Quest(Q. Tip), Large Professor, and The 45 King. For his guest appearances in 1993, he’s with Fat Joe & Kool G Rap, and 2Pac(R.I.P), Treach, & The Live Squad(Stretch R.I.P). He would also write some of Latifah’s lyrics. Apache had an incredible music collection.

R.I.P. Apache
Friday, January 22nd, 2010
Flavor Unit emcee Apache, born Anthony Teaks, passed away after a protracted illness. Shakim Compere, CEO and Co-Founder of Flavor Unit Records, remembered Apache, “Without Apache there would have been no Queen Latifah, no Naughty By Nature, no Chill Rob G., no anything†Compere told AllHipHop.com. “Apache was the string that tied all of Flavor Unit together. Without Apache none of this would be.â€

DJ Mark The 45 King – The Lost Breakbeats Vol.1 &2 (1993)
Wednesday, September 9th, 2009
Here we have The Lost Breakbeats: The Album by DJ Mark The 45 King released in 1993. This is a rare record to own. I’ve seen other breakbeats 12″ by 45 King but never this one, I was surprised when I found it at my local record shop. There’s also some vocals from original Flavor Unit member “Double J”. Enjoy,
