spent all last night discussing the nuances of “cock rock”. an amazing form of music. Cock rock is very new to me so I am still in the research phase, but i imagine i will be publishing my findings very shortly.
speaking of. . . well .. you know. .. check out this Mac Mall joint of his Thizziana Stoned & Tha Temple of Shrooms album. The first line is king.
Mac’s rad. I mean just check out the album art for “Thizziana Stoned”.. a must buy based on the album art alone.
Cancun in the 90s
(picture: MJ, young boy and the yellow striped zebra don’t interest me that much.. but the location: Cancun in the 90s? )
Aww ‘Scream’ it was one of the first singles that I bought and it has these remixes on it. So here is the Dave “Jam” Hall’s Urban Remix Edit.
Michael Jackson – Scream (Dave “Jam” Hall’s Urban Remix Edit)
This next track has all the goodies. It’s from 1990 and makes Chad Jackson ‘The Great MacDaddy’ while it seems to have 3 great tracks in it. He probably eats his chocolate pie with strawberries, whipped cream and a bucket of lemonade because this shit is just tooo sweet.
Chad Jackson – Hear The Drummer
We lift our hands in the sanctuary… Lift, lift, lift our hands… Clubhouse on it’s best. Actually not from the 90s (because it’s timeless).

What’s going on winnie cooper?? Special thanks to the boys for having me on board.
I will start with some words. Scott was picking my brain for justification on why bmore still needs to be talked about, and i promised him i would post what i told him, so here goes:
Baltimore Club is a totally new genre of music with new rules and new ideas, but no matter what, it is closer to house then hip-hop. Baltimore City was unique in its urban musical development in that they embraced house instead of rejecting it. While most cities, by the time the 90’s arrived, lost house to hip-hop’s homophobia, in Baltimore they had a drag queen MCing at one of the biggest clubs. Bmore loves house. Go to DJ Technics’ site and see how many mixes he has dedicated to house (can’t find that section right now but it’s there somewhere).
So, yeah, bmore club = new black house, and to me it’s an exciting departure from Whitey’s stronghold on the genre for the past decade or so.
Here’s a fresh summer house jam from Baltimore:
