Pete Rock’s James Brown Tribute Mix [Stream]

Check out Pete Rock’s James Brown Tribute mix. Dopeness! R.I.P. James Brown. “When I met James Brown, I think he passed along something to me when I shook his hand. I look at that today, and I say, “Damn, I think James Brown gave me a piece of his [soul] power.” He came to Mount Vernon and he did a concert with Bobby Bird and The JBS in my hood at a spot called the Left Bank. And I’m telling you I’ve never seen Mount Vernon so poppin’ in my entire life! It was always poppin’–don’t get it twisted–because we used to do little parties in the hood and stuff like that and everybody would come out. But James Brown — I mean I was seven years old, me and my brother Grap, and we walked in the joint and my mother talked to one of James’ bodyguards or managers or something and was asking him, “Yo, can my kids meet James?” And the next thing you know, he came up behind us and I shook his hand and he was like, “God bless you man, God bless you.” And he shook my mother’s hand and he shook my brother’s hand. And it left something with me. This was before he got on stage. He shook our hands and then we watched the show. And I left that place not the same. So you see how strong black music can be. It had a heavy impact on me in my

Amerigo Gazaway – The Big Payback Vol. 3: J​.​B. & The Soul Mates [Mixtape]

This time around, Amerigo takes on James Brown in The Big Payback Vol lll. In the third and latest offering from “The Big Payback” summer mix series, the producer follows the exceptionally awesome first and second volumes from the legendary DJ Scratch and master craftsman, J. Period. Bringing together a fantasy league of all-stars for his “J.B. and The Soul Mates” tribute concept, the producer’s latest offers an alternative to the sometimes uninspired, profit-driven, posthumously released albums. With guest appearances from Bob Marley, Nas, Busta Rhymes, Fela Kuti, The Notorious B.I.G., Mobb Deep, and more, Amerigo pays tribute to the God Father of Soul with a re-imagined set of co-conspirators. “I’m not sure any other artist has left their imprint on popular music, especially across so many genres, as much as James Brown has. With as many of today’s hit songs that were built around some sort of James Brown flip, it’s almost like he had a say in what the music of future generations would sound like without even knowing it.” The Big Payback Vol. 3: J.B. & The Soul Mates by Amerigo Gazaway

James Brown & 2Pac – Unchained (The Payback / Untouchable) [Audio]

Here goes another track off of Quentin Tarantino’s “Django Unchained” official motion picture soundtrack. Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming Django Unchained boasts a bold, flashy theme song to match the slick gunplay from Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio and Christoph Waltz. For “Unchained,” James Brown and Tupac Shakur get mashed up hard, banging like Django’s six-shooter as 2Pac’s hook from “Untouchable” stomps over the bright, brassy funk of Brown’s “The Payback.” The result – mixed by Tupac’s engineer Claudio Cueni – is a victorious anthem that feels like emerging from a gunfight unscathed. via Rolling Stone
