In Support of Onsmash.com & Dajaz1.com(please read)

On Friday (November 26), two popular hip-hop blogs, OnSmash and RapGodfathers, were seized by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and Homeland Security Investigations. Both sites appear to be under investigation due to claims of copyright infringement.

In a post dated November 25, RapGodfathers wrote, “Yesterday, Tuesday November 23, agents from the United States DHS/ICE showed up to RGF’s data-center and seized our servers. During the whole existence of the website, we always honored any DMCA requests but apparently in [the] US people are guilty before proven innocent.”

DMCA, short for the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, is a federal law passed in 1998 that largely made the distribution of copyrighted materials—read: MP3s—illegal. Remember Napster? The DMCA shut down the original peer-to-peer (P2P) download site.

What’s most disturbing in the case of OnSmash and RapGodfathers is that both sites claim to have complied with any DMCA removal requests. In the case of OnSmash specifically, the labels themselves gave the site the song links which OS provided to the public. Nevertheless, both hip-hop music destinations now find their daily updates grounded to a halt, with the possibility of losing their domain names.

While RapGodfathers had their servers seized, Hof of OnSmash relayed that only their domain name has been taken over.

“Nothing other than our domain has been ‘seized’ and I still have yet to receive any official correspondence as to WHY THIS HAPPENED,” Hof wrote.

Since OnSmash is part of the New Music Cartel (NMC), a coalition of influential hip-hop blogs that include NahRight and YouHeardThatNew, do the feds intend on taking down their servers too?

"Good Music" Produced By Dj Monty with the dope sound

Djmontywiththedopesound - GOOD MUSIC by djmontywiththedopesound

Dj Lady Blaze:Lost Souls(Dedicated to twitter)

Dj Lady Blaze Lost-Souls-Dedicated-To-Twitter by djmontywiththedopesound

I ran across Dj Lady Blaze on twitter and in doing so I found her website www.djladyblaze.com

"Lost souls" takes a road less traveled approach to exposing some of the ills of social networking sites(in this case twitter)

In this example music can be a way to put the mirror in front of you and see yourself for who you are if you fit this description.

The lyrical content for "lost souls" is strong and Dj Lady Blaze defenitly can't go wrong for rocking over a Just Blaze beat.

Big ups to Dj Heat and dcmumbosauce.com for the info.

DJ MONTY WITH THE DOPE SOUND PRESENTS "CAN'T WAIT FOR REVOLUTION" VOL. 2



DJ Monty With The Dope Sound Presents:

Can’t Wait For Revolution Volume 2

In 2010, what does REVOLUTION mean? Guns & arms? Activist movements? Hippies? Panthers? NO. An innovation in sound? YES! Have you ever changed someone’s mind about something simply by changing the way you presented the information? Well, if so, then let’s introduce you to DJ Monty with the Dope Sound’s can’t wait For Revolution: Volume 2. This historical mixtape series explores a new way to experience revolutionary moments in time!

DJ Monty with the Dope Sound, commonly known as “Not Your Average DJ” explores the vast reaches of the power deejays hold. Not only they “rock the party” or make people “feel good”, they also have the power to revolutionize minds! DJ Monty carefully crafts each historical speech with passionate tones and tempos that capture the essence of the message, thus giving the speech a provocative r&b/hip-hop flair. The track entitled “United Front” emits a dual purpose to shake up convictions in civil rights and to illuminate the vocal vibrato of H. Rap Brown, assisting the musical urgent call to arms. DJ Monty follows up CW4R: Volume 2 with a track series called “Live From The Mountaintop (Parts 3 & 4).” IN CW4R: Volume 1 sets the optimistic stage for Martin Luther King Jr. to move his message inside a composition of piano, string, and many other sounds.

CW4R Volume 2 is not only ear-pleasing and hard-hitting; it also serves as a hip educational tool! DJ Monty aims to create a “middle ground” between teachers and students to dialogue about history in a trendy way. His musical sound closes the “age gap” by creating a commonality of hip-hop music that will spark younger generations to become actively interested in researching historical movements of the past. Thus, further revolutionizing future movements through fusing music, history and education.

Can’t Wait For Revolution: Volume 2 is available for FREE on http://www.djmontywiththedopesound.bandcamp.com. FMI on DJ Monty visit http://www.djmontywiththedopesound.blogspot.com . For booking DJ Monty with the Dope Sound, please contact djmontybooking@gmail.com

BIG DUFF: RADIO EP(2010)



Big Duff's latest project "Radio",Weighing in at 5 songs deep(3 studio tracks and 2 songs that were recorded during a performance)
Duff accomplishes with a handful of music what most artists fail to with a full length album,His project is all music and message with no filler.
Radio is new school soul mixed with personal themes that tend to go unnoticed these days.

Big duff has the soul of Willie Hutch,the knowledge of Cee-lo green,and the smoothness of Nate Dogg

His ability to sing about issues without watering down the subject matter down,This is something that will help him continue to stand the test of time.

http://www.myspace.com/bigduff202


Radio:
For anyone who is frustrated with the current state of popular music this song is for you.Big duff paints a picture of the lack of backbone in regards to "big time" radio station programmers.
Make sure you check out the video link below.

BIG DUFF RADIO by djmontywiththedopesound


Lil' thug:
This song is where Big Duff is home at,He gets his point across with subject matter that he knowledgeable of and he does not come off preachy.
Sometimes you gotta sneak the soul into the serious to get it done and Big Duff does it well.

BIG DUFF LIL' THUG by djmontywiththedopesound

Who's Laughing now:
Behind a soundscape canvas painted behind dmv producer Slimkat78 Big Duff sings about having things and not having things,Insecurities,Love,and success.
With some help from Uptown X.O. on the mic to verbalize the topic,Another example of why Big Duff is not afraid to handle any subject through song.

SO DISRESPECTUL AT SHOWS




I DON'T REALLY GO OUT TO SHOWS THAT MUCH ANYMORE BECAUSE OF MY WORK SCHEDULE BUT I TRY TO SUPPORT LOCAL VENUES WHENEVER I CAN.

I CAN TRULY SAY THAT THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF CROWD PARTICIPANTS HAS CHANGED DRAMATICALLY ALTHOUGH YOU STILL HAVE YOUR MAINSTAYS(THE GUYS IN THE CROWD TRYING TO HOLLER AT EVERY WOMAN IN THE CROWD,BAD SOUND MANAGEMENT,20 PEOPLE ON STAGE RAPPING AT THE SAME TIME)

BUT I AM STARTING TO SEE A DISRESPECTFUL TREND AMONG MCS IN THE DMV,PARTICULARY AMONG THE YOUNGER MCS....I AM NOT TRYING TO POINT THE FINGER AT ALL THOSE WHO ARE YOUNG AND SPIT ON THE MIC....JUST A HANDFUL WHO SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS FOR THE MOMENT.
THE MOST RECENT ACT OF DISRESPECT WAS LAST TUESDAY AT LIV NITECLUB WHICH IS LOCATED ABOVE BOHEMIAN ON THE INFAMOUS U STREET IN WASHINGTON DC.I WAS THERE THAT NIGHT WITH SOME FRIENDS OF MINE ATTENDING THE BLACK MADONNAS PART 3 SHOW WHICH WAS HOSTED BY ENOCH AND MANA.IT WAS ALSO ORGANIZED BY TYRONE NORRIS OF ROSETTA STONED,I WAS GLAD TO SEE THE AMOUNT OF SUPPORT THAT CAME OUT THAT NIGHT FOR THE SHOW.

FIRST LET ME SAY THIS,THE RESPECT FOR THE DJ IS AND THE SOUNDMAN IS PARAMOUNT!!!!
NO EXCUSES AND NO WAY TO GET AROUND IT.TELLING THE DJ TO TURN THE MUTHAFUCKING MIC UP OR MUSIC SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED AS THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENDED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION AT THE SHOW THAT I ATTENDED THAT NIGHT.
SECOND,HAVING TO STOOP TO THE LEVEL OF DEGRADING THOSE THAT TOOK THE STAGE BEFORE YOU IN A NON FREESTYLE BATTLE FORMAT IN AN EFFORT TO GAIN MORE ATTENTION FOR YOU IS JUST PLAIN WACK!PEOPLE GET UPSET WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MIC SKILLS AND STAGE PRESCENCE AS THE NEXT PERSON SO THEY RESORT TO GHETTO MUDSLINGING ON STAGE....THE SHOWMANSHSIP AT SOME OF THESE EVENTS IS RIDICULOUS.AND FOR THOSE THAT RESORT TO MAKING THE MOVES THAT I JUST DESCRIBED STEP YOUR GAME UP,WHEN YOU HAVE TO RESORT TO THREATENING THE AUDIENCE TO PUT THEIR MUTHAFUCKING HANDS UP SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG.SOMETIMES I DON'T KNOW IF I AM AT HIP HOP SHOW OR AT A BANK WHILE IT'S BEING HELD UP BY ROBBERS.

FINALLY,TO THE PROMOTERS...START YOUR EVENTS ON TIME...IF IT SAYS 9PM ON THE FLYER THEN IT SHOULD START AT 9PM IT SHOULD NOT BE 10PM NOT 10:30PM NOT 11PM,THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT PAY GOOD MONEY AND BEND OVER BACKWARDS TO COME TO YOUR SHOWS SO AS A PROMOTER YOU SHOULD DO EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER TO START ON TIME.

BEING A DJ I UNDERSTAND THAT THINGS MAY GO WRONG AT THE LAST MINUTE BUT THERE ARE WAYS TO STAY AHEAD OF THE GAME AND BE PROACTIVE UP UNTIL THE START TIME OF YOUR EVENT.SOME PROMOTERS ARE JUST PLAIN LAZY AND THAT'S REALLY SAD,IF YOUR FLYER SAYS PM AND YOU ARE THE PROMOTER OF THE SHOW AND ITS 9PM AND YOU ARE OUTSIDE CHATTING IT UP WITH THE LOCALS AND YOUR PATRONS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON THAT'S JUST WACK.

JUST MY THOUGHTS

FEEL FREE TO COMMENT

SALUTE!!!!!!

THIS IS THE WAY YOU PAY HOMAGE TO SOMEONE LIKE GURU...

AND BIG UPS TO DJ PREMIER FOR HANDLING THIS WHOLE SITUATION WITH RESPECT AND HONOR

SALUTE!!!!
