Prince

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

I been spending a lot of time over at Twitter. I chat with some of the best in the podcasting world : EJ Flavors, Fave, Todd Kelley, Mr. Fresh, Darren Keith and Honey Soul. That’s not in any particular order but they are all at the top of their game. EJ being my mentor. By mentor I mean he had no problem reaching out to me and sending me tips and help. These guys have been giving me shoutouts and props in their awesome podcasts and I’m just as humbled as can be! I’ve met and reconnected with many people like Amneris and RPM. One of my newer folks is JayMoney. He’s a techie and does live shows which could provide great knowledge. The Prince workout started out like this:

JayMoney- @dj_diva I think someone..hint hint should produce a mixed tap just for workouts, like so many mins of speed then slow down then speed..lol 04:49 PM January 16, 2008 from web in reply to dj_diva

Anyon who knows me knows that I am the biggest Prince fan on the earth.

Disclaimer:
I own all of these songs and more so Prince bet not step to me!

Well I have been wanting to start podcasting for mad long. I have been posting mixtapes in the form of short lived radio blogs and extensive playlists. Lately I have taken the route of Imeem Playlists…and those are cool. But my wonderful husband got us a new laptop because my old one died….and lo and behold I had enough space for DJ mixing software. The request was just what I needed to try it out for something worthwhile. Because you see…JayMoney said in exchange he would give me a new layout. I think you all would agree I need one. That’s why I love Twitter…you can connect with so many different people. Trade is a beautiful thing peoples…

I’m a little rusty and I’m working some kinks out…I’m kinda tired so I didn’t record an intro..not to mention Prince is hard as hell to mix because all of his songs begin very distinctively… but here because of the @JayMoney challenge…I present to you

The Prince WorkOut Mix

It’s my first one so please be gentle in the comments LOL

Hey guys!!!

You were probably wondering what happened to the Monday Mixtape this week.

DJ Diva is taking a 2 week vacation from making new podcasts so that I have more time to focus on my girls and a host of new beginnings.

But I’m not gonna leave you hanging!!!!

Since January of this year I have been laying it down every Monday. How about we revisit my greatest hits?

So during my vacation I will be on repost overload because you just can’t stop the music. The mixtape reviews will still be posted too.

I hope you enjoy my greatest hits!!!

For this Monday Mixtape I’m going back to one of my favorite music eras..Classic House Music of the 80’s and early 90’s. Remember the hankerchief in the back pocket? It was part of the outfit but you still needed it to wipe up the sweat! When everyone would take a turn in the circle and work their best moves? I sure do! I miss those days at the Sound Factory, Tunnel and the Clubhouse. This is my first time mixing house so I hope you’ll be gentle in the comments…Every day is a step toward perfection!

Please vote for my man Fave of the Friday Favecast on the Black Weblog Awards!

Review:

DJ L makes a good effort on RNB #12. He has great tracks, but at times gets a little scratch happy. I love to hear skill but when it turns into sounding like a messed up cd, I have to press skip. Instead of mixing, you will hear horns or scratching to let you know that the songs have changed. At times he makes questionable choices but the songs hold their own.

Notable cuts(when he lets them play): #2, #12, #14, #17, #19,#22

-Kenna feat. Lupe Fiasco - Say Goodbye To Love [remix] (A house beat mixed with an early 80’s rock feel)

-Usher feat. Michael Jackson & T-Pain - Stop Playin’ (Very Michael-ish beat..makes one nostalgic)

Review:

Red Cafe’s Eviction Notice is a compliation of drug tales and gangster profiling. After listening to this mixtape, if you takes notes you could probably be the next Nino Brown. Red included a host of mainstream rappers and some unknowns. Lyn Carter sounds like a replica of Amil, but she’s acceptable on these hard tracks. Sean Kingston is no Akon, but Red Cafe got the necessary annoying singing from him. Red Cafe should score a hit with this one amongst his fan base.

Notable cuts: #3, #4, #11, 14

Top 5 Banging Beats worth listening to:

-Brooklyn Money (a head knocker..the piano is sharp over the snare)

-Paper Touchin [remix] (this song is just hot!)

-Bam Bam (you gotta love the classic reggae beat!)

-Dolla Bill [remix] (club banger)

-Cowards Ain’t Neva There (I really dig the horns and 70’s black film feel to it)

Track Listing:

1. Intro [Prod. By Konkrete Kaos, DJ Ron & DJ Shusta) - Red Cafe
2. High School Bulls**t - Red Cafe
3. Brooklyn Money - Red Cafe feat. Ross Fortune & Lyn Carter
4. Paper Touchin [remix] - Red Cafe feat. Jadakiss, Fabolous, Cassidy & Ace Hood
5. A Milli - Red Cafe feat. Ross Fortune
6. Bam Bam - Red Cafe
7. Halftime Show - Red Cafe feat. Ross Fortune & Lyn Carter
8. Cadillac - Red Cafe
9. The Worst Rapper Awards . . .And The Contestants Are
10. Dope Boyz - Red Cafe feat. Fabolous
