Jam Master Jay exclaimed “Oh shit” just before he was shot and killed in October 2002, according to testimony given in court on Wednesday. Uriel “Tony” Rincon, a friend and business associate of the late DJ (whose real name was Jason Mizell) explained his recollection of what happened when assailants entered a recording studio, killing the DJ and shooting Rincon in the leg to the jury at a Brooklyn federal court. Rincon, who dried his eyes and sniffled during emotional testimony, told both a U.S. attorney and a…

The trial for two men accused of the 2002 murder of Jam Master Jay began with prosecutors alleging that the men had killed the Run-DMC DJ after feeling cut out of a cocaine trafficking deal he was involved in. Defense attorneys for the men countered that the U.S. government had faulty info based on the faded, decades-old memories of witnesses. The opening remarks took place at the United States District Court – Eastern Division of New York in Brooklyn on Monday morning. Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall is presiding over…

If you’ve ever wanted to turn your car into a DJ, with the sound controlled by how you drive, then you need to buy a Benz, stat. Mercedes-AMG and will.i.am have turned up at CES 2024 in Las Vegas with what they’re calling MBUX SOUND DRIVE (all caps, as if to be bellowed). Sadly, it’s hard to talk about what it is and what it does without robbing it of its mystery, so apologies in advance: It’s essentially a system that pulls data from the car’s suite of sensors, which then helps control a specially-deconstructed music…

In 2008, artists Julio César Morales and Eamon Ore-Girón, working under the moniker Los Jaichackers (a play on “hijackers”), created a large cube that was part minimalist sculpture, part functional room. Built on a steel armature, its pristine exteriors were covered in mirrors and emblazoned with the Jaichackers name. Its interior space was used to screen videos of neighborhood bands doing covers of popular songs. “Migrant Dubs” was intended to highlight the ways culture gets adapted — as when, say, a Latin party band…

When Ariana Grande Slammed Two Radio Jockey For Asking S*xist Questions, Netizens Said, “Mad Respect” ( Photo Credit – Instagram ) Ariana Grande looks tiny given her petite physique and height, but boy-oh-boy, she has a loud and bold voice. Moreover, she does not use it only to sing. She uses it to give her opinion and shut down useless comments. Back in 2015, the singer slammed two radio jockeys for asking her s*xist questions. She gave them a lesson to remember about girls and taught everyone how to treat their…

Smuggled booze, awkward dancing, clumsy kissing and the burning stare of a watchful teacher are experiences that may spring to mind when you think of secondary school dances in the UK. However, if you were a pupil in mid-1980s Chicago, you might find house music heroes such as Frankie Knuckles and Ron Hardy rocking up on a weekly basis to turn your school gymnasium into scenes of sweat-drenched jacking pandemonium.In her new book, Dance Your Way Home: A Journey Through the Dancefloor, Emma Warren describes such a scene as…

The tables have turned on Ye. His offensive and antisemitic statements have impacted business partnerships, and many former fans are side-eyeing Ye’s antics as well as refraining from listening to his music altogether. With Ye’s recent acts seemingly disrupting the culture, DJs have grown cold on his music, too. “When I DJ a party I like to create a positive vibe. I feel like Kanye’s antics away from music have overpowered the emotional connection we have with his songs,” DJ Bern, Columbus native and founder of 2000s…
