Mos Def’s Birthday today!

Mos Def

Dante Terrell Smith-Bey (born December 11, 1973)^[1] is an American actor and MC known by the stage name Mos Def. Mos Def started his hip hop career in a group called Urban Thermo Dynamics, after which he appeared on albums by Da Bush Babees and De La Soul. With Talib Kweli, he formed the duo Black Star, who released the album Black Star in 1998. He was a major force in the late 1990s underground hip hop explosion spearheaded by Rawkus Records. As a solo artist he has released the albums Black on Both Sides in 1999, The New Danger in 2004, True Magic in 2006, andThe Ecstatic in 2009.^[1]

Initially recognized for his musical output, Mos Def’s screen work since the early 2000s has established him as one of only a handful of rappers who have garnered critical approval for their acting work. Mos Def has also been active on several social and political issues and was particularly vocal in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Top DJs In the World You Should Know About

The TOP DJs in the world you should know about!

DJ Freedom!

DJ FREEDOM

www.mixcraftmedia.wordpress.com (01)

Of course I am my own favorite DJ. I listen to my own mixes, play them for others, remix a multitude of songs weekly and although my releases are not being played by every DJ or radio station, the respect by many is there. You should also know I didn’t get into this for the status just the respect and the music.

One of the DJ standards

DJ culture has long been the backbone of nightlife: if you have the right DJ spinning it can be the difference between a lot of folks sitting around talking over drinks or crowds rushing in to hear the best music-regardless of the atmosphere (although flashing lights are nice).

My list is just that-my opinion, lumped in with the millions of others. Only consider these guys not just because I say so but I have heard them all spin LIVE and I have at least one or more of their mixes. Ahh, now we separate ourselves from all the other bloggers online. Yes indeed!

================================

Crooklyn Clan

THE CROOKLYN CLAN (02)

www.myspace.com/djriznyc

Check them out. You’ve probably danced to one or more of their tracks if you have gone to a party at ANY major city in the U.S. Or how about the last wedding reception. Or the New Year’s Eve party. Their records are everywhere in EVERY DJ’s crate and their fame doesn’t stop there. You can hear them spin live if you live in NYC, or attend the WMC in Miami each year in March. Among my all-time favorites. Just ask Fatman Scoop!

================================

DJ Spinna

DJ SPINNA (03)

www.myspace.com/djspinnafrombrooklyn

Attempting to book him for an event may be difficult due to his always-full agenda, but if you are looking to enjoy good music this is a great DJ to hear do it. He can go from house to hip-hop to soul to funk depending on the theme of the evening. Or, he may do all of them in a set of smooth transitions that are signature Spinna.

================================

Erick Morillo

ERICK MORILLO (04)

www.myspace.com/erickmorillo

DJ Erick Morillo is a constant in dance music the world over. He claims NJ as home, runs one of the most respected super club brands in the world in NYC known as Pacha, and does residencies in Miami (where I hear he has been living for a while), Ibiza (THE dance music capital of the world) and endless other places. He also has a hot dance label, Subliminal and one of the most annoying dance anthems ever, “I Like To Move It” under the name Reel 2 Real. He’s earned the credible title of a top five DJ on my list of DJs.

================================

JAZZY JEFF (05)

================================

RUBEN TORO (06)

================================

DJ SPINBAD (07)

================================

DJ KERVYN MARK (08)

LOUIE VEGA (09)

DJ GREEN LANTERN (10)

JAZZY JOYCE (11)

================================

DJ ENUFF (12)

www.thatsenuff.com

Another all-purpose DJ rooted in hip-hop who made good on his hunger to be one of the best on the 1 and 2’s…DJ ENUFF! Still a key player in radio, club gigging, and the occasional mixtape, this guy has always been one of my favorite DJs…and is a force that no other DJ in the game will deny. If he is on a flyer don’t walk RUN.

================================

DJ COCO CHANELLE (13)

================================

FOREIGN BASS (14)

www.myspace.com/bigbadforeignbass

================================

Funkmaster Flex "The Kingpin"

FUNKMASTER FLEX (15)

www.funkflex.tv

“The Kingpin” Funkmaster Flex has been in the game for a long minute and continues to be an important force in hip-hop. He’s a credible club DJ which is what I like the most, considering his celebrity has long ago grown into being one of the most significant voices in hip-hop CULTURE; what matters can get a thumb up or down with legions following.

================================

STACY KIDD (16)

www.myspace.com/stacykidd

================================

DJ Blazita

DJ BLAZITA (17)

www.blazita.com | www.myspace.com/blazita

One of a handful of lesser known DJs who I love when she spins. DJ Blazita is a class act! She plays a party-oriented style of hip-hop, R&B, dancehall/reggae and club that is always upbeat and floor-ready. I’ve had the pleasure of hiring her for a party recently and she brought the house down-more than all of the DJs on the bill (we won’t say any names). Blazita is also a mixtape DJ and hosts her own internet radio shows. Go to her site and tell her Freedom told you about her!

================================

TONY TOUCH (18)

================================

CHUCK LOVE (19)

www.myspace.com/chucklove909

================================

DJ AM (RIP) (20)

================================

DJ DISCIPLE (21)

www.myspace.com/wwwdjdisciplecom

================================

SISTER STROKE (22)

================================

JEANIE HOPPER (23)

================================

MARK DOYLE (24)

================================

Armand Van Helden

ARMAND VAN HELDEN (25)

www.myspace.com/armandvanhelden

A pioneer of hybrid styles in house, I look forward to what I will hear whenever this dude puts the needle to the groove. A DJ, a producer and remixer with EQUAL quality on all three, Armand brings hip-hop, rock, electro, punk and soul sound bits to dance music.

================================

THE CUT UP BOYS (26)

www.myspace.com/kutupboys

================================

DJ KUT (27)

www.myspace.com/therealdjkut

================================

DAVID MORALES (28)

www.myspace.com/djdavidmorales

================================

QOOL DJ MARV (29)

www.myspace.com/djqoolmarv

================================

DJ KARIZMA (30)

================================

Q TIP (31)

================================

DJ SOUL SISTER (32)

www.myspace.com/djsoulsis

================================

DJ SKRIBBLE (33)

www.myspace.com/djskribbleny

================================

DANNY TENEGLIA (34)

www.myspace.com/dannyteneglia

He’s a pioneer of deep and tribal styles from the late 80’s and early 90’s by MY own experience. He has probably been doing it longer, but Danny gets props for being credible for keeping the marathon sets alive and well. For DJs who play 2 hours and think they are doing something for all the money they get, take note: this is a guy (like myself *ahem*) who will play for 12 hours and longer.

================================

DENNIS FERRER (35)

www.myspace.com/dennisferrer

================================

MARK FARINA (36)

www.myspace.com/markfarina

================================

DJ Q BERT (37)

================================

QUENTIN HARRIS (38)

www.myspace.com/quentinharris

================================

DJ CRAZE (39)

www.myspace.com/crazearoni

================================

Sting Int'l, the original class act

STING INTERNATIONAL (40)

One of the forces behind the Shelter NYC movement, Sting is a mainstay in both house and Caribbean styles (reggae AND soca). I love this guy! He’s a class act and continues to thrill and pave the way for what a great DJ is all about.

Look for my list of the top 40 singers and bands to come in December, as well as YOUR votes on the 2009 Reader Survey of the year’s best. Peace!
