How five college freshmen ignited a basketball revolution.

The two-hour film airs March 13 at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN and depicts the story of Jalen Rose and his other Fab Five teammates, Chris Webber, Juwan Howard, Jimmy King and Ray Jackson. Called by some “the greatest class ever recruited,” the five freshmen not only electrified the game, but also brought new style with their baggy shorts, black socks and brash talk.

“The Fab Five” relives the recruitment process that got all five of them to Ann Arbor, the cultural impact they made, the two runs to NCAA title game, the Webber “timeout” in the 1993 championship and the scandal that eventually tarnished their accomplishments.

The Notorious B.I.G. – Machine Gun Funk (DJ Premier’s Unreleased Version)

You can now buy the 12inch of “Première Salve” incl. instrumental here:

WOW I’m shocked. Sorry, it’s been a while I could cop a new 12inch lmao… Actually sad…

Jeru the Damaja is ready to release a new album in 2011 and he’s not going to take it easy. It’s been 4 years since his latest album “Still Raising” was released on Ashenafi Records. It looks like he’s now getting ready for some new material, and like I’m hearing it’s going to be a no brainer for real hip hop heads. He already teamed up with Large Professor (last collaboration was 3 years ago on “Main Source”), Pete Rock (only did a remix for Jeru in ’94) and JuJu from the Beatnuts. And if everything goes right we can expect a new DJ Premier collabo on the album.

Could it be?? After 15 years?? Time will tell… Album is scheduled for 2011.

It looks like the legendary Busta Rhymes found not 1, but 2 fine Premo beats after many rejections. No word on any possible release date, but probably at the end of 2011 (if Eminem or Kanye West don’t release an album). Busta Rhymes is also featured on NYGz upcoming album coming before summer (maybe).

Funky dope!! And you can actually buy it!

The song “Lovesick” is a single released in 1991 off of the second Gangstarr album, (Step In The Arena). The single reached #11 on Billboards Hot Rap Singles in 1991. One bears witness to another facet of Guru as he expresses heart felt lyrics towards a lady he feels for. The perfect shirt for a significant other and fan of Gang Starr. this is our 1st collaboration with X Is The Weapon.
