video: murs – animal style



“Cali emcee Murs presents the Hobostewd-directed music video for “Animal Style”, the Embassy-produced track from his recent BluRoc release Love & Rockets Volume 1: The Transformation. “Animal Style is a song I did for many reasons,” Murs explains. “The first was to be an advocate for people close to me who are out, and those who have yet to come out. It’s also a love song, which is nothing new for me. But with this one I wanted to challenge the listener to ask themselves: Is the love shared by two people of the same gender, really that different than the love I have for my partner of the opposite sex? And finally, I just felt it was crucial for some of us in the hip hop community to speak up on the issues of teen suicide, bullying, and the overall anti-homosexual sentiment that exist within hip hop culture. I felt so strongly about these issues and this song that I had to do a video that would command some attention, even if it makes some viewers uncomfortable. Even if it came at the cost of my own comfort.”

mixtape mondays – get the f*ck up

Definitely one of my favorites and one for all the hip hop heads out there. “Get The F*ck Up” is mixed by San Francisco’s DJ Apollo aka P-LO Style, one third of The Triple Threat DJs and Original Invisibl Skratch Piklz. The tracks, mixing and scratching is so clean and refreshing, we hope you enjoy!

And if you still don’t have it, you also need to download DJ Apollo’s Reggae Dancehall Classics!

“Made in 2000 during the days of the underground indie hip hop movement when there was a new indie label everyday. This is the sound of True-school hip hop which is missed and much needed in the music today. The inspiration for this one was to give respect to real hip hop artists, putting out real hip hop records.” -DJ Apollo

This week’s Bubble Gum welcomed special guest DJ E-Man (Unrivaled DJ’s, Power 106, Big Boy’s Neighborhood). We also welcomed back DJ sourMilk from a little break touring with Dev.

Shouts out to Playmaker and B-Eazy for starting the night of right and of course E-Man for murdering the tables and then sourMilk for shutting down the night like only he can!
