Early Influence In Hip Hop. The Kung Fu Connection.

This Sunday evening while in Amsterdam we will be presenting a Kung Fu double feature / lecture Q&A on the early influence that Kung Fu films had on Hip Hop.  The double feature will consist of the Shaw Brothers classics 5 Fingers of Death (starring Lo Lieh) and Five Deadly Venoms.  Afterwards I will be spinning Funk, Soul and Hip Hop for your drinking, dancing and socializing pleasure.

Midnight Movie Cowboys 'Wild Style' Edition

This past Monday I had the pleasure of being a guest on the ever so popular Midnight Movie Cowboys podcast.  For those that have never heard of or tuned in to the series, it's based around three movie fanatics, John, Stu and Hunter that pick a topic or film and discuss it in-depth.  There's a lot of knowledge, laughs and other things to keep you tuned into the show.  The most recent episode that I was involved with was based around one of my favorite movies and definitely my favorite Hip Hop movie of all time, Wild Style.

Here's the episode for you to tune into which is also available on iTunes as well.
