The Magnificent (BBE / Rapster). Review by Bill Campbell.
DJ JAZZY JEFF THE MAGNIFICENT BBE / Rapster Whenever I want to be reaffirmed in my belief that life is not fair, I look to this man. while Jazzy's former partner has made a massive fortune being innocuous, Jeff has been wallowing in relative obscurity. It was his beats that made the duo somewhat digestible ...

May 1999 :: Music C-D :: Dayroom (Jeff Montgomery)
... harmonies. Dayroom throws enough variety into the songs here to keep Better Days from becoming twelve refrains of the same song. "Stranded" has a jazzy feel to it, while "Truth" kicks into high gear from the first note and burrows into your head with its straightforward rock sensibility. "Til I Die ...

Desoto Records Showcase, featuring the Dismemberment Plan, Burning Airlines, Black Beetle, and the Eternals at the NYU Thompson Center in New York City, NY on October 20, 2000. Concert review by Julio Diaz.
... of indie rock), and they were obviously very good at what the did, it just wasn't doing anything for me. Perhaps it didn't help that their jazzy music was somewhat sleepy, and I was already very tired, but frankly, they had me dozing within a few minutes. Black Beetle were the evening's only act not ...

More and more, rock bands are adding DJs to their arsenal of musicians, using cuts, scratches, and samples to fill out their sound. Christopher R. Weingarten talked with one of the first rock DJs, DJ DNA of Urban Dance Squad, and one of today's young guns, DJ Kilmore of Incubus, to explore the roots of the phenomenon.
... in his success as a rock musician playing a hip-hopper's instrument. While growing up imbibing crossover rap's DJ stalwarts like Terminator X, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Hurricane, Cut Creator and Jam Master Jay, Kilmore was always open to the fury of rock music. "I grew up in this white neighborhood in this little ...

Bill Campbell gets the lowdown on remixing, the Philly sound and interesting names from King Britt.
... by Bill Campbell At 33, Philadelphia native, King Britt, is on top of electronic music’s world. Coming of age in Philly’s hip-hop Golden Age (with Jazzy Jeff, Cash Money, and Schoolly D), Britt is now part of Philly’s most recent renaissance that is revamping hip-hop, R&B, and electronica (The Roots ...

Adventures in Lo-Fi (BBE/Rapster). Review by Bill Campbell.
... of producers out there. I just have to give credit where credit's due. So, now that Britt's going back to his Philly roots (where he grew up around Jazzy Jeff and DJ Cash Money), he's decided to drop a brilliant hip-hop album. Adventures in Lo-Fi is guaranteed to blow several hip-hop head craniums. ...

Floetic (Dreamworks). Review by Bill Campbell.
... -friendly work that can still be dubbed "neo-soul" and be considered "cutting edge" (Musiq, anyone). Listening to Floetic, you get the feeling that Jazzy Jeff and crew are guilty of this exact crime. Coming off of his superlative album, The Magnificent, Jazzy must've just wanted to make some money. The ...

... out. And, for those of you who have not been hepped to BBE's Beat Generation (which has included Grandmaster Flash, Pete Rock, Marley Marl, and DJ Jazzy Jeff), it is not too late to privilege yourself to the great music commercial radio keeps denying us. This latest in the DJ-focused series perfectly ...

Being Black (Waxploitation / Spun). Review by Bill Campbell.
... the message of strength and pride that's to be found in the book. Boiling over with rappers of substance (Jurassic 5, Mystic, Dilated Peoples, Jazzy Jeff, Will.I.Am, Blackalicious, and Bahamadia), the disc does exactly that and more -- giving us some real hip-hop. The music's tight, the beats hard, ...

... a performance it really is. It’s like the Dylan hype, but for real. This sort of elliptical narrative wordplay lends the record an adventurously jazzy feel. Field’s lyrics are as easy and unforced as conversation, not constricted by the bare bones song structures but running free. The subtlety of lines ...
