This Friday at the 9:30 Club back bar District After Dark is back after being snowed out last month. DJ’s for the evening include me, Smudge, Sean Gone, and Phil Real. The bartender downstairs has an X-men like super power for making amazing mix drinks that will probably make the room spin when you get home and close your eyes. You can also rest assure that we are going late which is the way DC should go. HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!
OR!!!!!
You can go to the Shadow Room or Lotus and kick it with these dudes

I thought it couldn’t get any better with the Mortal Kombat Epic Beard man video but WOW was I wrong. I was floored by this genius remake using Mike Tysons punch out. I don’t think anything will beat this one but I didn’t think Mortal Kombat could be topped. Please keep making remixes!!
Im casting my vote for best DJ in DC and its for DJ Keenan Orr from RockCandy. He is my favorite DJ to watch in DC. He spins every other Tuesday at Marvin where he throws down some of the best old school pop jams that has the dance floor packed and going crazy with every track he drops. I had the pleasure of watching him play with DJ Smudge at Rock N Roll hotel and he absolutely killed it. Personally I don’t do DJ voting polls for myself as a DJ which is why I am throwing my personal endorsement to Keenan who is also a great person who stays humble and is always in a good mood. Please go to the link below and cast your vote. You don’t have to sign up for anything, just put in your email address and vote. They wont use your email for anything and you wont get any spam as a result. They just want an email address to ensure its a valid vote. VOTE KEENAN!
Not to toot my own horn but Id like to think I have a pretty well matured ear for music and parlay that with a little knowledge about comedy, but the subject that I know without a doubt I am the king of is food. I’m kicking myself for not having a food category on the Head of Rothchild so here we go! What better way to introduce such a passionate category than introducing a food from a cheesy fucking fast food joint.
When I lived on the west coast I couldn’t be bothered with Taco Bell. The best part about living out on the west coast is the authentic family owned taco joints. Some were small vendors and others are long tenured family owned restaurants. If I had to go to a chain spot it would be Del Taco just because you could get tacos, burgers, and french fries. Its amazing how many people on the east coast give a blank look when you ask them if they want Carne Asada tacos.
With that said, on the east coast as sad as it sounds, Taco Bell is my first love. I go to the one in Flower Hill on the corner of Muncaster and 124 near the air park. Sad part is that I am on a first name basis with two of the drive thru people who work there. They know exactly how many sauce packets I need (mild of course). They know that I always order #6 Beef Baha Chalupa w/ Soft Taco, extra soft taco, and a Mountain Dew. I don’t know what they do at that place but there is something odd about the mountain dew from Taco Bell. It taste way better than the bottled stuff. I cant get enough of it. However, starting March 4th there might be a change in plans. They are introducing the Pacific Shrimp taco. Combining 2 of my first loves, Tacos and seafood. Each one is wrapped in six marinated shrimp. It depends on the size of the shrimp and what their marinated in that will determine if I make the switch. The bad news is that it only goes until April 11th. The one thing I know about Yum food who owns Taco Bell is that if something sells, they will bring it back ASAP. I remember when Pizza Hut which is also owned by Yum Foods, got stingy with the Pzones. They would take them away and bring them back periodically. Now you can get them anytime AND they use the same crack in there Mountain Dews.
Stay tuned for more food updates on the H.O.R. including pictures of some of the most unhealthiest shit I can come up with in addition to reviewing certain places when I go on the road. I’m just going to do the pig out stuff. If you want to see a DJ eating live wild shit I suggest you follow Jesse Tittsworth for that *cough cough*
A year ago I came across a series of amazing youtube videos of a dance show that wasn’t soul train but stood out because of the great music and even a better cast of unique dancers on the show.
The show is called The Scene. A television dance show that ROCKED Detroit from 1976 to 1987 on WGPR TV 62. The Scene featured many national and local guests artists as well as young dancers from the community. The show ran for a record 12 consecutive years from 1975 to 1987 and retired as one the most popular and successful shows in the history of WGPR-TV channel 62. The Scene had a strong loyal audience that included both the city and suburbs, all races and nationalities, the young and the young at heart. Nat Morris, Executive producer and host of the show, provided opportunities for local artists to launch their careers some of which went on to achieve national and international fame. The Scene paved the way for all the Detroit local entertainment TV shows that followed and had the impact on Detroit Black Television the same way that Soul Train and Don Cornelius had on a national level.
All the dancers on the show were Detroit locals. Recently Nat Morris has been trying to reunite the cast and crew of The Scene on a web page he made to help preserve and introduce to people outside of Detroit about The Scene. Its free to join and is a great flashback to the era. http://www.scenedanceshow.com/
If your not planning on going to WMC this year don’t worry, 3D Productions has got you! I had a chance to DJ there on New Years Eve and I had a blast. The setup there is great. 2 rooms with different genres that caters to anyone who wants to go out and rage. No dress code drama, the staff at 3d are friendly, and the bartenders are amazing at pouring drinks in way that benefits the patron. I will be posting reminders on here and other social networks but be sure to circle the date.
There are a lot of associations that come to mind when it comes to Baltimore. Baseball you have Cal Ripken, Football is Ray Lewis, even beer you think National Bohemian. When you think about music the first person that comes to mind is Scottie B and Unruly records. Going clubbing in DC the first thing we would do is turn it 92Q as they were doing a live broadcast and from what I can remember correctly was either from Hammerjacks or Club International (around 1995). There would be some nights when we would park in front of the club in DC waiting for the 92Q live club mix to end before going in that’s just how pumped the music got us. There are many others in charm city who also helped start the movement such as Technics, Kenny B, Rod Lee, KW Griff, Booman, Dukeyman, Dj Class, Samir, Jimmy Jones, DJ Freeze, 2 whyte Kidz, and forgive me for not having all of them but those are the artist who first come to mind. Recently Scottie has reached deep down in the crates and shared a 3 piece installment called the Golden era of Club music. It includes 3 zip folders of rare treasures from the early years of club music. Its quite a treat for any club music enthusiast and shows how today’s music is very much influenced from the old club style breaks. Download the golden era of club music down below but DONT download them until you add the Scottie B music page on facebook.
WoW this is quite a breakthrough! The first female crappy myspace rapper. Women have fought hard for so long to have their voice heard in every genre and style so we thought we would welcome them as well. Although she is the first to be published, I have had several that I was going to post but backed out because I thought the voice and/or production wasn’t that bad. One thing I should stress to you the reader is with a female rapper it might not always be based on just voice. You have to realize that you wont find as many females who are willing to rap into a $6 computer mic over a $2 instrumental. Give them the benefit of the doubt, their not that stupid like the males. Every potential female rapper has an agent. Most likely not a professional agent. Most of the time its either a family member, boyfriend, or a neighbor who is really trying to fuck because I cant think of any other reason to stand behind the talentless. The big appeal is the fake Diva image that they are trying to show to the “fans”
With the stage now correctly set, I can present to you LiL Baby. Another mess from the talentless state of Texas which state not only took the life of a US president, but has also given us the last 3 Crappy Myspace rappers. Boo Texas! Now we have to hear Lil Baby, G boyz ent, and Colt McCoy for the rest of our lives. Lil Baby meets all of the criteria including the fake Diva image and what I am going to assume is a family member manager. Plus she has a hilarious story of “What the Fuck?!” that she tried to spin into an award show?
So the story starts with her saying that she is going to an award show in Tampa Florida. She drives 14 hours from Texas to Tampa to an award show at a nightclub that starts at 1pm in the afternoon? Also look how amazing a LiL photo touch up can do with a promo flyer. Why the fuck am I going to a gym? Airbrush me god damn you!
Along the way to Tampa the Lil Baby management team thought that it would be a dope time to do a promotional photoshot of Lil Baby management.
nothing says photo op like Shell Gas
So by looking at the flyer of this things and especially the pics from the so called “award show” This looks like a total fucking scam. I need to know if there are actual management company’s who will take ANYONE in as a rapper and pull some fake marketing over there eyes in order to get fee’s from them? If this exist, it is the most brilliant fucking idea on the planet. To market a fake dream to a talentless dult who has no performing chops but is stupid enough to send money to a company that will make a $5 flyer with the rappers name on it or make a mixtape album cover. My hat goes off to these company’s FUCKING GENIUS! Lets go to the red carpet of the award show!
Oh no! This doesnt look like the Kodak theater. Judging by the $3 Krunk cup from Spencers, $6 Hennessey in a plastic cup, and the $60 digital camera, I think this isnt the glitz and glamour from what im sure she imagined on the 14 hour car trip from talentless Texas. But keep your head up Lil Baby, you still got an award! Im sure everyone got an award. If you look at the awful sponsor logos at the bottom of the award, im sure some of those rap groups will eventually end up on the Head of Rothchild.
Im sure that the whole scam is probably $1200 + a year only to drive 14 hours to get shitty piece of paper that I could of made in about 3 minutes. Its good thing that her street team spent all of those long hours grinding across America…..
Here is her track, its pretty corny, you can tell someone obviously produced it for her so its not total shit but the message is for female artist around the world who stink that Yes you can! be a crappy myspace rapper.
But dont feel bad about Lil Baby because there is one more award she is going to get and it wont cost her a dime and she wont even have to drive to get it
Keeping the crappy myspace rapper theme truckin hard in Texas comes another rapper who is in the D. Howard entertainment family known as the G Boyz. This rappers name is Potz. G Boyz is the group name that other crappy myspace rapper D. Howard (see below) came up with to plant their own flag in mid-land Texas. Unlike D. Howard there are no fan pictures here cause Potz is all business. I hope he does an upcoming collabo with Panz Hi Yoooooo!! Now I know what your thinking and what could be worse than having several god awful rappers starting an entertainment group?
Oh No..
How about having all the rappers get a tattoo of the awful entertainment group. That one might come back to hurt them. Here is the first track which is called crank it up where Potz sings the hook for it. He sounds like he may be missing a chromosome and hits it with a splash of down syndrome. The lyrical flow has the excitment and energy of a blank tax form. Street certified CRAPPY!
Here is another vocal abortion with the great D. Howard. If its one thing D. Howard knows its the ladies. YOUNG ladies. One area of improvment is mic levels. Kill Yourself kids!
If you want to send me your music, funny shit, or anything you want me to see that isnt meatspin or rickrolled related, please send it to JAKEKOMARA@AOL.COM
