Back again, schmucks! Here is the 2013 edition of Shade45's Hanukkah Radio hosted by yours truly and the migh Reef the Streets. Our guest DJ this year was the incomparable legendary Stretch Armstrong, and we also had honorary Jews for a Day Lord Sear aka <b>Lord Shmear</b> and DJ Whoo Kid aka <b>DJ Whoberg</b> as well as <b>Dro Grindstein</b> and <b>Shmuley</b> on the boards. <br />
The show features a call-in from Hanukkah Radio staple <b>The Alchemist</b> as well as plenty of Jewish infused hip-hop and our Jew of the Year 2013. Finally, no Hanukkah Radio program is complete without our very own game show <i>Jew or Not a Jew.</i><br />
Check it all out below and find out who earned the very first Jew in Hip-Hop Lifetime Achievement Award.<br />

This video is from a series on Vimeo called <a href="http://www.helpingyoumaintain.com/episodes">High Maintenance</a> that's pretty great overall, but the clip below is outstanding. I love Jewish humor, but throw in a dysfunctional family and a weed dealer with a Passover seder and I'm all-in.<br />

Very hard to believe, but it has been 7 long years since we lost Big Proof. Again, to celebrate the his life and share his art with the world, I've unearthed another lost track from P and J. Dilla called "Keep It on the Low". The track was produced by Dilla and that's also him on the chorus. Forgive the sound quality but as I've said before these are ripped from cassette dubs and it's the best that I have. I'm pretty sure the track is from 1994, when Proof and J were working on their Funky Cowboys side-project. What can I say? The world just isn't as enjoyable nor the same without you guys. Rest in peace.<br />

I stopped by a dimly lit cave of a studio on the side of The W hotel in Austin on a beautiful, sunny day to find a lonely Jude discussing what Jude discusses. Hear about Jewish pimps, designer drugs, BBQ, Yelawolf and the airport Hilton below.<br />

I always thought that a sneaker store would make for a good reality series given the culture and passion of sneaker-heads and the frequent crossover into the music world. A good sneaker spot can have bit of a barbershop vibe in the sense that people come their to buy stuff as much as they do to share opinions, ideas and basically shoot the shit. <br />
When we threw the idea to Ben and his team, they loved it! One problem- I didn't really know the Burn Rubber guys that well yet. I had been in the store several times and have admired their designs and hustle from afar, but I never really kicked it with them. So my guy J.D. made the introduction, and Rick and Ro turned out to be even more interesting, funny and charismatic than I could have hoped for. We turned the cameras on, and the guys and their crew shined even brighter. <br />
Please take a minute to check out the first episode below, and if you like it, walk with us in something exclusive for the 6 episode run of the first season. We are proud to shine the light on this story of successful and positive entrepreneurial spirit straight from The D. Burn Rubber, baby.<br />

Can you believe that it's been an entire year since the last one? Well I can too. It's back, this year's installment of Hanukkah Radio on SiriusXM's Shade45! Join myself along with Reef the Streets, DJ Scram "Scramishewitz" Jones and Lord "Shmear" Sear as we take you on an exploration of the meaning of Hanukkah and a bunch of other stuff. This is where Judaism and Hip-Hop collide! This year we name a new Jew of the Year, have guest Rabbi Wechsler lead us on a brief prayer, play everyone's favorite game Jew or Not a Jew and play an assortment of music with Jewish connections. Thanks for listening, Happy Hanukkah and whatever other holiday you celebrate. L'Chaim!<br />

I meant to get this post up sooner, but I just got back from Disney World with the kids and that's not really a trip that you have any extra time on... Anyway, the Beastie Boys have had a profound impact on me. I have been a fan ever since I first saw them debut on the big screen in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-kFfFVP4Xc">Krush Groove</a> (which I was completely blown away by, them and the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO9p8BIFq1Q">young LL Cool J</a> impromptu "Radio" performance) and at one point I was determined to be <i>IN</i> the group at around 15 years old. I was already completely smitten with rap music since my older brother introduced me to Run-D.M.C.'s debut album, and the fact that 3 white jewish dudes could make a career out of it put a lot of gas in my young tank (pause).<br />
I've personally always credited the Beasties as the original hipsters, crafting everything from ironic facial hair and retro clothing to auteur film making and indie companies (Xtra Large, Grand Royal) as chic and way ahead of the curve. Combine that with their debut <i>LIcensed to Ill</i> and the groundbreaking production and sample usage on <i>Paul's Boutique</i> and that alone is enough to cement them as classic, indescribably important artists of my generation. Obviously it didn't stop there, as <i>Check Your Head</i> and it's follow-up <i>Ill Communication</i> continued their trailblazing talent well into the '90's as both were classic albums themselves.<br />
A couple of my good friends and Shade45 stalwarts DJ Lord Sear and Reef the Streets both shared their Beastie Boys memories with the mix and interview below, and I wanted to make sure that I posted them here for the rest of you to check out.<br />

The brackets started with Divisional Playoffs following Wild Card weekend. Slaughterhouse was in the studio in Detroit with Eminem and I was in town as well when we filled our brackets out, and everyone saw mine and balked. Eminem got his words in first with <a href="http://www.gq.com/sports/profiles/201201/eminem-shady-records-nfl-playoffs-bracket">this interview that ran last week.</a><br />
Turns out that I picked 3 out of 4 right in the first round. My bracket is below.<br />

Every year, like we always do about this time (Hanukkah is a moving target because of the Jewish calendar), SiriusXM presents the audio knish known as Shade45's Hanukkah Radio! Myself and Reef the Streets (@NYCreef) took to the mic this year on the eve of the lighting of the first candle on the menorah to celebrate the Festival of Lights with a slew of guests and surprises.
Guest DJ and <a href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/lantzman">lantzman</a> <a href="http://www.scramjones.com/">Scram Jones</a> was on the on decks spinning tunes from our favorite jewish hip-hop producers along with out co-host and honorary jew for a day Lord Schmear. Check out both hours below and learn about the holiday of Hanukkah and guest call-ins from our 2010 Jew of the Year <a href="http://dramalikethedj.com/">DJ Drama</a> and the legendary MC Serch of 3rd Bass- as well as our 2011 Jew of the Year young <a href="http://www.macmillerofficial.com/">Mac Miller</a> and special in-studio guest none other than the hysterical and talented <a href="http://actionbronson.com/">Action Bronson</a> aka Action Bernstein. If you listen all the way through (for some reason) you can also check out this year's installment of everyone's favorite game show <i>Jew or Not a Jew.</i> Shalom and enjoy! Happy Hanukkah.

It's a 12" single from East Flatbush Project feat. Des called "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FY9FcXBT-5w" target="_blank">Tried by 12</a>." The record was independently released in 1996 on a label called 10/30 Uproar Records and was produced by Spencer Bellamy.
When we were preparing for the cypher, I was messing around on my laptop playing random mp3's and Em overheard the beat and yelled "yo, ask them if we can rap on <i>THAT!</i>" So I did, and our good friend DJ Premier obliged. The record's instrumental was a favorite in the Detroit battle scene back in the day, and I consider it a classic.
Check out the song and video below.

The staff at Shady and myself searched our archives, homes, storage facilities and vaults to come up with a collection of artifacts, awards and memorabilia spanning the history of the label and Eminem's career. I was personally very concerned that some things might get damaged and/or stolen in the process but we hired the Shady Security crew to spend the night with the collection to make sure nothing got vicked or ganked. Special thanks to Riggs Morales, Marc LaBelle, Dro Genao, Alvon Miller and Craig Barnes for making sure everything went smooth and putting in overtime hours to make sure that this special collection came together. Below check out two different videos with narration from yours truly describing most of what was on display for those that couldn't make it in person. See you in another 12 or 13 years I guess? Shady Records, Established 1999. TRUST US. (P.S. I know I said "tooken" and that "5 Star Generals" isn't actually on Soundbombing 2 so shutup).

Tomorrow, The Knux release their sophomore album entitled <i>Eraser</i>. If you aren't aware, The Knux are two brothers (literally) from New Orleans named Krispy Kreme and Joey LeStrat, or just Krispy and Joey (<a href="http://www.twitter.com/theknux">click to follow</a> them on Twitter). We at Goliath Artists, Inc. have managed The Knux since before their Interscope debut <i>Remind Me In 3 Days...</i> and we are firm believers that these guys are a unique and special talent that the world needs to hear. Their new album is a previously never accomplished mix of hip-hop, electronic, pop and indie/garage rock styles that blend together in a rapturous fashion. I hear influences from De La Soul to The Clash to Depeche Mode in their music- and somehow it comes together and works. The guys produced the album themselves and write all of their lyrics, too.
If this sounds interesting to you, check The Knux out and pick up their album <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/preorder/eraser/id460426917">here</a> or check it out on Spotify or buy a copy in an actual store. You will thank me later. My personal favorite tracks are probably "Eraser", "1974", "Queen of the Cold" and "I See Stars." Let me know what yours are.

The concept of the Shady Records Brisk Bodega is to turn the experience of copping a bottle or can of Brisk Iced Tea at your local corner store in NYC into a Shady Records corner store run and operated by the Shady brand of entertainment mixed with a little bit of history... See, in this bodega there is a pop-up one day only Shady Records History Hall, which chronicles the inception and rise of the label through rare photos, art, objects, awards, apparel, sneakers, etc. The collection contains items from the Shady Vault, including some of my personal prized possessions such as the Dr. Dre "Missing" milk carton from "The Real Slim Shady" video. The Shady Records History Hall will be open for public viewing from 1-5 pm.
Come nightfall, lucky contest winners and invited guests will be treated to exclusive performances from the 2.0 Boys themselves, <a href="http://www.yelawolf.com">Yelawolf</a> and Slaughterhouse. Sounds will be provided by the incomparable Dj Enuff. Drinks will be provided by the bar via the good folks at Brisk.
Our whole staff spent a ton of time putting this experience together along with the <a href="http://www.drinkbrisk.com/">Brisk team</a> and the homies at <a href="http://cornerstonepromotion.com/">Cornerstone.</a> If you are a fan of Shady, this isn't something you will want to miss.

Tonight I attended Steve Stoute's cocktail party for his new book <i>The Tanning of America</i>. The book is being published by Gotham Books and is <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=tanning+of+america&x=0&y=0">available in-stores and online now</a> (it was released on September 8th).
Steve is an old friend of mine. We first met when he was the head of Urban Music at Interscope around 2000. I remember my first conversation with Steve- he called me to tell me how big of a fan he had become of Eminem and how he wanted to help us break D12 on Shady. Over the course of the next few years we developed a close friendship as he lived in my neighborhood and we had many mutual friends. Yeah, we fell out for a few years but the problems we had became water-under-the-bridge and we reconnected last year and picked up where we left off- smoking cigars and talking about hip-hop and the landscape of the music world.
During those conversations Steve told me about the book he was writing and explained its premise: that hip-hop culture had so greatly affected american culture that it became part of the marketing language and attitude of the mainstream which eventually forced Corporate America to embrace it and ultimately utilize it. Eventually that obviously led to the topic of Eminem and his part in the process. Steve asked to interview Eminem about the subject, and the conversation appears in the book's epilogue.
If you get the opportunity pick the book up. There's a very intelligent discussion and explanation of the theory of "tanning" as an american phenomenon that is sure to spark conversation.
Below are some photos I took on my Droid from the party. Ok, so Nas, Jigga, Diddy, Fab 5 Freddy, Run, Russel Simmons and Brett Ratner were in the building amongst others- along with the lovely Allison Rosenberg.
