When I first started this series I had a small hand full of people this type of shit was made for. Detroit’s native, DJ House Shoes or Shoes was on e of those chosen names. Shoes has been there since day one. He is largely responsible for countless heads being aware of Detroit music far and wide. We both tried since early this year to arrange our schedules to make this happen and finally everything synched. In honor of The Last Hip Hop Mohican we bring you a full month of rants, insults and keep it realness. Thanks to MAGS, Ronnie Euro and DPress.

On this weeks B47 Breaks, Nick Speed points out some notable facts concerning Dionne Warwicke’s, “Your Gonna Need Me” and the late great hip hop mayor Big Proof from D-12. Dilla and Proof were really close and I bet they had no clue how this record made them even closer. I have no idea what Labor day is but it’s a great day to catchup on Bling47 videos. Just sayin.

I’ve never been one to bite my tongue. This is easily top 3 Dilla beats ever. YUP!! Today i’ll share with you the source material that made this beat possible, Giorgio Moroders “E=MC2“. Amongst my crew this type of record was a NO-NO until Dilla proved us wrong. This beat has several renditions prior to its reworking by Karriem Riggins for, “The Shining“. I have my own ideas of its conception. I’m sure it was the rubber gloves. Hahahaha. Tell me what you think @jeedo.
