The “hommie” producer Jake One (G Unit, Freeway) was in town this past weekend, and insisted he get on DSG. We did a special Sunday edition just for him. Classic DSG foolery goes down, we get some behind the scene artist stories, verify Jake’s claims that most of Arcee’s slang originates from him, and some “ill” demos you ain’t never heard!
Dank of Frank-N-Dank sits in with the DSG crew. He speaks candidly about the Slum Village situation, shares a few studio stories and even dips into his stash of personal, original Dilla Beat CD’s (with original Dilla handwriting – CRAZY!!). We’re already talking about a part 2!
“There is a moment in every man’s life where he must succumb to his selfish, childish desires and nerd out on random rap.”
- Arcee.
So that is what we did.
After an extended hiatus, we back bitches! Arcee’s secret porn stash revealed, Drake hate, Inzauny origins and more nonsensical rambling. You know how we do.
This show is dedicated to Keith “Guru” Elam. When thinking of guests, the only bigger Gang Starr head than Inzane we could think of was Big Sproxx of 16 Bars. We were sure he’d have some strong opinions on Solar as well. As an added surprise OTA Lives’ Ty Harper joins us as we go over our favourite Gang Starr albums, the uniqueness of “The Voice” and Guru’s influence on bringing Jazz and Hip Hop together. Looking back you really begin to appreciate his contributions. R.I.P.
We’ve made a pact that the homie Dj Grouch will appear on all record speed episodes, so expect him back for ep 78. Grouch ask before we started what the topic for this DSG would be, topic? WTF is a topic? We plan nathan around here. Our convo goes from Grouch’s Dj class at Scratch Lab to eating and driving techniques. Random ish, ya know how we do.
The Olympic spirit is extremely strong because it got Arcee to watch a hockey game. We actually talk about sports, albeit Olympic sports but, sports! We go from the highs of Canada’s sporting success to the lows of the news that Keith Elam aka Guru has been hospitalized and in a coma, our thoughts are with him and his loved ones.
Dr. P-Plus is in the building! For those of you still having trouble getting the ladies, learn the P Plus method of “Letting it be known”, or the Arcee and Inzane method of “Do as little work as possible”. The Freqs go deep on relations.
The incomprable DJ Starting from Scratch (Flow 93.5 FM, Amnesia, Sweet Tears, Russell Peters tour Dj, etc, etc, etc) enters the DSG world this week. We go through the history of one of Canada’s top Dj’s, from how knowing Arcee from back then enhanced his career (not really) to the state of Djing today, (boring) or is it…

As we wrap up 2009, we take a look back at the decade’s best albums. Now this being Hip Hop there is no way you can make a list with out a ‘discussion’, so we brought along Big Jacks (Grand Groove DJs) and the homie DJ Agile (Brassmunk, Big Black Lincoln) to add their views and take a look at a decade we thought was weak?
Also peep count down on this weeks show with guest co-host Kardinal Offishall.
Check the list after the jump, and join in.
