Run DMC - Sucker MCs

Hip-hop is such a self-referential kind of genre, but then most genres are. The whole point of a genre, in a lot of ways, is to establish a set of rules, of references that people are expected to know, to get, to understand what's going on. You know, some indie band has two guitar lines intertwining with each other, and they're probably deliberately referencing Television, and they probably expect you to get that on some level. What this means is that a lot of what hip-hop music does goes straight over the heads of the uninitiated, even when those uninitiated really dig it (as we pre-teens did).

This is sort of the way for (the original) 'Sucker D.J.s'. It's pretty much impossible to get what Marley Marl and Dimples D are doing without knowing it's an answer song to Run DMC's 'Sucker MCs'. It's the Frankee to Sucker MCs' Eamon. Marley Marl is basically trying to say here, 'you know what's worse than sucker MCs? Sucker DJs. And you know why they're worse? It's because DJs are more important. Which is why I've got a girl singing this, because I'm such an awesome DJ that it doesn't matter.' (At least, I assume that's why Dimples D is on it - I might be wrong about that kind of sexism, though, you never know)

The other thing with 'Sucker DJ' is that - outside of the I Dream Of Jeannie theme - there's a bunch of samples in it which are used in plenty of other hip-hop. It uses that saxophone squeal from that song by the J.B.'s that you also hear in music by Public Enemy, Eric B & Rakim, 2 Live Crew, and even the Black Eyed Peas. That 'pump pump pump, pump me up' bit at the end of a chorus is a sample from a Sugar Hill group called Trouble Funk. The bit about 'music makes you lose control' is from 'Body Work' by Hot Streak. The sample of 'King Of The Beats' by Mantronix is the same one used in songs by Eric B & Rakim and Ice-T. (Whosampled.com is wonderful).

And, in that age when uncleared sampling was of uncertain legality rather than of definite illegality, the use of these samples was a thing; using a particular sample was meant to communicate a particular thing. (See Christopher Weingarten's 33 1/3 book on Public Enemy's It Takes A Nation Of Millions... - Weingarten almost entirely discusses the meaning of the samples used, and how they put it together, and it's fascinating stuff, albeit fascinating stuff that would have been improved if Weingarten had shown how it fit with the lyrics in more detail).

Dimples D - Sucker D.J.'s (I Will Survive) (1983)

This is the original version of 'Sucker DJ', minus the 'I Dream Of Jeannie' theme sample - note the plural and dubious punctuation: 'Sucker D.J.'s'. It's fascinating to listen to if you're used to the later version.

For a start, it shows how much hip-hop had changed since 1983. I mean, 'Sucker D.J.'s' is so barebones, so minimalist. It's not much more than Dimples D herself, some scratching, and some beats. There's something attractive about this, some sense of authenticity; you could imagine Dimples D performing it live with Marley Marl programming a TR-808 and doing a little scratching now and then, and it sounding almost identical to the record. 'Sucker DJ', on the other hand, shows the eight years of Marley Marl learning studio skills, mixing skills, etc (he was a big name producer in hip hop at this point, having produced LL Cool J's 'Mama Said Knock You Out'), and eight years of improvement in technology. In some ways, I suspect that's why Marley Marl chose this one to remix - he wanted to show how far he'd come. (edit: the remix was apparently by a Dutch DJ. Ben Liebrand)

Passion Pit-Sleepyhead (Cassette Club remix) is just pure BRILLIANCE!

I have known Mr Ben Macklin for about 7 years now, a London based dance music terror that was one half of the Sucker DJs combo with partner & super talent Stretch Silvester who was part of the HUGELY successful Colorsound group in the early 2000's and I've always told he & Stretch, they were way beyond their years in talent! 

There was no one better at creating some of the sickest raunchiest (yes) bassline's out there. I would train-spot their music before walking into the studio and do everything possible to emulate their sound (they'd be blushing if he heard me saying this). When the electro sound hit hard in 2008-2009 Ben Macklin & Stretch Silvester were underneath every big remix out there along with the King Unique's & Tiga's. 

Ironically I actually tried signing the first Cassette Club release "Cocktail" at Strictly Rhythm 2 (SR2 Music) but was unsuccessful but still play it my sets today 8 years later. 

Fasting forward we go and he & partner Tom Hammond are now back in full force with their Cassette Club group and Macklin is staying true & on point with his pure perfection in sound, groove & deliverance. 

I love Passion Pit and love the "Sleepyhead" single but Cassette Club have outdone the Passion Pit crew (respectfully) and this baby is on LOOP! Respect guys!
