People that know me well will easily testify the same. “That dude LOVES music.”

Due to this fact, I can’t stop imagining things that could, would and should have been. In honor of my overactive mind and will to hear dope shit, I’m starting a little series called ‘Remixes That Should Have Happened’ featuring a bunch of great songs from the past, accompanied by a bunch of great beats from the past and present. Nothing you havent heard before, but definitely in a way you’ve never heard or imagined.

I’ll let the first installment speak for itself:

Nas Is Like (Jay Dee ‘Oh Oh’ REMIX)

A little higher quality than some of the previous A3C footage, and great sound as well.

See for yourselves why seeing Arablak live is a must.

Check it out, pass it on, and don’t forget to thank SLS for providing such a valuable gift, during this rough economic period.

Enjoy, and feel free to have seconds.

DRAMA CLASS Presents… “HIP-HOP APPRECIATION 101″…DON’T BE LATE FOR CLASS.

MR LIVE (Fondle em Records, Get These Records) and EARL BLAIZE (Anti-Pop Consortium) are the founding members of DRAMA CLASS…
“HIP-HOP APPRECIATION 101″ is a concept project, meant to spotlight a number of topics inside the music and in society itself.
Set in a scholastic atmosphere, The project presents HIP-HOP as an art form and touches on subjects such as…artistic knowledge and responsibility, materialism and misogyny within the music and a host of other subjects that has contributed to the perceived decline of a still vibrant genre.

All of this is done in a light-hearted, entertaining manner that is done not to indict, but to create a platform for discussion.
