RAP ATTACK GIVES “All Eyez On Me” TWO THUMBS UP
RAP ATTACK APPROVED
Benny Boom did a good job telling the story. I thought switching between the interview and actual events was a good technique.
It was a nice way to segue between different aspects of Pac's life.
Camera angles and real-life footage re-enactments were dope. They matched archived Pac video footage with the movie (wardrobe, scripts, set, etc), especially the MGM hotel scene.
Had some funny parts that made the crowd chuckle a bit.
Demetrius Shipp did an awesome job portraying Pac — even down to the way Pac moved his neck while he talked and the way Pac bounced and walked on stage when he performed.
Casting was dope. The chick that played Jada was dope. It was cool seeing the actual people like Money B (Salute, Mon! Dante Malik).
The movie showed elements of stuff I didn't think about, which was eye-opening. I just wonder how they got those details — was it told by someone who was actually there or were those elements added for theatrical purposes. Either way, it was good.
I was sitting next to my wife's best friend's son, who's 20. He was rapping along with the tracks played during the movie. Kinda funny and sad at the same time cause I used to play these records at the clubs and radio back then. Back when Pac was with DU, back when Pac got signed to Interscope, and back when Pac moved to Death Row. Who would've thought the power of Hip-Hop would lead to a movie 20+ years later.
"They can incarcerate your body but not your mind..." (or something like that).
As told by Afeni to Pac during the movie.

Fire Pick of the Week
Week of June 19, 2017
Back on the new music tip as the summer starts to heat up! This week’s pick will have turntables and eardrums burning.
Hot off the presses comes a new single, “Miss You”, from artist Jay Worthy (ALC/Worthy Records). It features Conway and is produced by The Alchemist.
The Compton, California-based rapper fits in nicely over Alchemist’s signature production, giving us a beautiful track to ride into the summer months. With a sweet jazzy sample laying the foundation, Jay and Conway go in smooth rapping about how they rep for the West Coast and want their people to hold it down with them if they are locked up behind the walls.
This track is a great way to move us into another summer of new music! Go grab it!
Til next week . . . Peace!!

DOES COLLEGE RADIO MATTER?
by Jessica Weber (Co-Sign)
Radioland
I don’t have to tell you all this, but since Pitchfork asked —
yes, College Radio matters.
I know, CMJ didn’t publish a chart last week, the Music Marathon didn’t happen last year and CMJ’s direction has become a question mark . . . but, so what?
Let’s be real: CMJ’s charts provide a great snapshot of what’s happening week to week nationwide, but it’s been a minute since they’ve been THE voice of College Radio.
More importantly, the impact a station has on its community and fans doesn’t have a thing to do with whether or not a trade magazine exists.
Honestly, people have been asking whether or not radio still matters since the early 2000s when I started in the music business as a College Radio Promoter.
The answer has always been the same. Yes.
As music lovers, you already know radio isn’t the only way to hear new records anymore, and it never will be again. This is OK! These days, technology allows all media to be consumed in many different ways (thankfully!), and often with so little intention. So to all my independent radio stations out there in the world, I say this makes you stronger.
Regardless of format, listening to your local radio station is not a purely utilitarian exercise so much as a conscious choice. People are tuning in because listeners know
that YOU fuel and enable music discovery.
This means you’re tied directly into an open, engaged, local and loyal audience of music consumers and fans, not to mention donors and volunteers. They are hungry to contribute and be a part of something meaningful, and support an outlet rooted in community. Work that!
That being said, and I say this with love, there’s always room to step up our game, College Radio. And to be totally clear, I’m not saying don’t report to CMJ. I’m saying do that, and more.
Stations have to find new ways to trumpet the amazing things they're doing with bands and labels to the rest of the world, beyond charts. So, continue investing in your station’s community by building with your local record stores plus the venues and publications you love
to create a truly meaningful local network.
And most important — get to know your listeners. These are your people! Keep investing, grow awareness for your station in your market and become an essential mouthpiece for your market.
Don’t ever forget — you are a powerful amplifier. Your audience, your community and your format have a voice. And remember we need to continue working to find new and innovative ways to amplify our voices and provide more for our listeners, our community and the artists we believe in.

The Biggest Podcast
(click pix to read, click to get back)
During my past 36 years in the biz, I've been interviewed many times over &
I never get tired of sharing my story!
Recently, I did one of the BEST interviews ever in "The Biggest" podcast show,
hosted by Miguel Rockwell & Joe Hawkins!
You'll hear how I learned to DJ, who taught me and how I became an on-air radio personality. How I met Mix-A-Lot, my first encounter with Mix at the Boys club with Ed Locke (we were the only 2 Asians in the bldg), who started NASTYMIX Records and where the name NASTYMIX came from.
How I still feel so bad (yes, to this day) about getting kicked out of Seattle Prep high school — I reveal what I did & why it was so wrong — and about losing my mom to cancer when I was 18.
How I got to be on Eazy-E's "Radio," my history with Jerry Heller & The World Class Wrekin Cru, my history at 1250 KFOX in 1980 and the FreshTracks show intro
from The Emerald Street Boys to Sir Mix-A-Lot.
Why I got fired at KFOX, how KCMU Rap Attack started in 1988 on the condition that Shockmaster Glen Boyd would be my co-host and the birth of KUBE 93's HotMix on Sat night with NUMBER ONE ratings.
Plus you'll hear rare recordings of me on KFOX & KCMU and two original Quick mixes I did featuring Sir Mix-A-Lot, Eazy-E & NWA and yes, allllllllllllll pre-Serato!
A solid 90 minutes with Seattle's Original MasterMixer & Crazy Pinoy . . . And MORE!
Enjoy!
KCMU RAP ATTACK #FBF 1988
(click for more, click to get back)
KCMU RAP ATTACK #FBF 1988: I found this on You Tube — a rare recording of two of my very first RAP ATTACK radio shows aired in 1988. The first link is about 37 min long & you can hear my MasterMix around 10min 30 sec into it. Both aired on 90.3FM KCMU, 28 years ago.
I was fired from KFOX in April of 1988 as the station was sold & they made it clear to me that the new KFOX would NOT play RAP/Hip Hop anymore.
KCMU, based on the UW campus, offered me a Sunday night slot around July of 1988 to keep KFOX FRESHTRACKS on the air. I accepted the offer, went from AM to FM in 3 months & renamed my show KCMU RAP ATTACK.
I wanted this show to sound just as good as if you're listening to a Casey Kasem American Top 40 show or any professional sounding show you'd hear on commercial radio. I didn't want to just yell on a mic & say my name in a mix or during the show so I invested $$$ in getting Professional Custom Voice Over Drops. I also made my own Drops & the rest is Seattle Hip Hop HISTORY!
Here it is from 1988 (28 years ago) yours truly, NASTY-NES on KCMU RAP ATTACK!
