MOVIE NIGHT 🎥🍿For all #hiphop aficionados, young & old, check out: @atcq’s #beatsrhymesandlifethetravelsofatribecalledquest - when this movie hit theaters i took a bus & train to get to the theater to see this movie 🍿 The sounds produced from this group will probably never heard again, never duplicated, sonic hiphop innovations on a unmatched level. i’m glad @mikerappafart gave them their roses🌹🌹🌹long over due. Growing up i was a #nativetongue SUPER FAN / FANATIC that started with the @junglebrothers4life then @wearedelasoul THEN #atcq - and honorable mention goes out to @queenlatifah @kooldjredalert @violatorsunlimited #chrislighty @monielove502 & lest we forget @the_beatnuts - WITHOUT #KOOLDJREDALERT I DON’T KNOW WHO OR WHERE i WOULD BE & THE JUNGLE BROTHERS ARE THE MOST UNDERRATED MUSICIANS IN HIPHOP HISTORY - There’s no #consciousrap or #alternativehiphop or #backpackrap or #jazzrap or any hiphop that strayed from normal conventions without them (Kendrick Lamar, J Cole, Kanye West, 6lack, the Neptunes, Lauryn Hill/The Fugees, OutKast, etc). My musical 🎵 heroes & in my opinion the natives are the #greatesthiphopcrewofalltime who collectively as a unit produced maybe 7 of the #greatestalbumsinhiphophistory - Straight out the Jungle - Done by the Forces of Nature - 3FT. HIGH & RISING - De la Soul is Dead - People’s Instinctive Travels - The Low End Theory - Midnight Marauders - No other collective in music history (rock, jazz, R&B, pop, etc) can make this claim. @blacksheepdres @chialibx #musichistory #hiphophead#hiphopaddict#junglebrothers#junglebrothers4life#violators#chiali#dresblacksheep#hiphoplegends#classichiphop#classichiphopalbums#hiphopcommunity#unsungheroes https://www.instagram.com/p/CVgfDT7rjrH/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Birthday #ChrisLighty miss you brother! 🙏🏿 He supported myself and @kissthedeejay during a time when we were just coming up. He helped us plan our wedding reception and never asked for anything in return. It’s rare you find individuals that rock with you like that. He was genuine and the real deal. Love brother. Rest in peace https://www.instagram.com/p/B_8aixjAqAW/?igshid=paasbb42vcn7

Hear the whole interview on #itunes #spotify #britthappens #repost @britthappenspod - Today’s episode features a guest who’s worked behind the scenes to deliver some of the biggest hits of the 90s and 2000s, many of which are still personal favs and can quickly solicit a clachet (classy ratchet lol) twerk! 💃🏾🎵 • Dave Lighty (brother of the late great hip-hop mogul, #ChrisLighty) was the Manager of A&R at #DefJam. By the late ’90s, @DaveLighty moved to #JiveRecords to become the Sr. Director of A&R, where he held that position for over a decade. 🎧 • Today, Dave's the Owner of @ViolatorSouth, a record label, management and marketing company and a consultant at Odlight LLC, a brand strategies firm. 🎛 • Tune in as we discuss how Dave went from #military man to music exec 🎼 💿, how influential his brother, Chris, was to his career, business acumen 💼, and outlook on life in general, how he navigates the highly competitive music industry, women hip-hop pioneers who inspired the “ratchet girl movement”, his gift of recognizing amazing talent, exciting new projects, and how he has been able to bounce back from some of the most challenging of circumstances poised and ready to eat 2020 and beyond alive! 🙌🏾💥 • • • #britthappens #podcast #podernfamily #davelighty #davidlighty #chrislighty #sharptonsays #violatorsouth #violator #llcoolj #kanyewest #thecollegedropout #peteypablo #freekaleek #lilkim #foxxybrown #newyork #hiphop #defjam #jiverecords #aristarecords #resilience #circlehousestudios https://www.instagram.com/p/B-LWqDBJMFW/?igshid=b3xhr7lbyetw
