DJ Polished Solid has done it once again! This time she’s put together some straight audio goodness in celebration of Pharrell’s 40th Birthday! Let’s get it!!!
DJ Polished: “I created this mix on April 5, 2013, Pharrell’s 40th bday, to give back for all of the amazing music he has given the world. He has put a smile on my face a many, many day, and I know he will continue to do so. Also, Pharrell is the best bass keyboard player since Ray Manzarek;)”
Ice-T takes us on an intimate journey into the heart and soul of hip-hop with the legends of rap music. This performance documentary goes beyond the stardom and the bling to explore what goes on inside the minds, and erupts from the lips, of the grandmasters of rap. Recognized as the godfather of Gangsta rap, Ice-T is granted unparalleled access to the personal lives of the masters of this artform that he credits for saving his life. Interspersed with the performers’ insightful, touching, and often funny revelations are classic raps, freestyle rhymes, and never before heard a cappellas straight from the mouths of the creators. What emerges is a better understanding of, and a tribute to, an original American art form that brought poetry to a new generation.
Great documentary on B.I.G. with appearances by Common, Method Man, Easy Mo Bee and many others who grew up with and worked with this legendary artist who was ultimately cut down during the prime of his life.
DJ Polished Solid gifts with another incredible mix in tribute to Don Cornelius! This is for the true connoisseur of Soul and she goes deep into vaults here and we love every minute of it. Make sure to checkout DJ Polished each and every Sunday from 4pm to 6pm on her show No Turn Unstoned right here.
