(February 12, 2008) — New York, NY —SonyBMG & SWAGRICULTURE present the next stage of the SAMPLOLOGY mixtape series, a mixed compilation of Hip-Hop and R&B heavyweights & the original blends that inspired their tracks. Each chapter highlights a select artist, producer or genre.

Recorded in the legendary Philadelphia International Records studios, DJ Parler along with hosts Kenny Gamble & Bunny Sigler present SAMPLOLOGY: The Philly Intl Chapter.

This chapter covers tracks from P.I.R., the 1971 label formed by pioneers of Philadelphia soul, Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff. Mirroring the Berry Gordy & Motown Records movement, Gamble & Huff brought such R&B greats as The O'Jays, Patti Labelle, Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, Teddy Pendergrass, Lou Rawls, Billy Paul to the musical landscape.

To be released during Black History Month 2008, this February project is a testament to the impact and inspiration that the P.I.R. catalog has had around the world. It is also a predecessor to Gamble & Huff's induction into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March 2008.

"This compilation isn't intended to substitute the actual CDs nor thier samples," says DJ Parler. "But to complement the albums and excite those in search of good music. I'm hoping that after hearing my mixes, people will want to dig deeper."

Additional SAMPLOLOGY Series include The K West Chapter, featuring material that Kanye West has appeared on as a producer and/or MC; The J Dilla Chapter, highlighting music produced by the late James Yancey a.k.a. J Dilla. And A Gangster Chapter, inspired by Jay Z's American Gangster soundtrack.

Posse Poppin'

I’ve been seeing a resurgence of posse cuts lately. Could these collaborations be a symbol of Hip Hop unification? Perhaps a sign of lazy MC’ing? Maybe a mark of great cross-market promotional strategy? Who knows…just thought I’d share two of my recent favs (click song titles to download)

DJ Khaled “I’m So Hood” REMIX featuring T-Pain,Trick Daddy,Ludacris,Busta,Big Boi,Lil' Wayne,Fat Joe,Rick Ross

Wu Tang Clan -“Take It Back

But no one can top my all time favorite
A Tribe Called Quest - "Scenario"


and the classic Juice Crew - "The Symphony"

Time Traveling



Download 1979-2006: A Hip Hop Odyssey mixed by Jaguar Skills

So this mix is almost 1 year old…but the Old School parties & recent VH1 Tribute put me in the mood to share. DJ Jaguar Skills (London, UK) mixes over 800 classic Hip Hop tracks from 1979-2006 in under 50 minutes! Though it makes you want to hear more of each song, it’s a great mix to reminisce to and a good look for the train or car…click here for full track listing

Clan In The Front


Check out "The Heart Gently Weeps", the first single from Wu-Tang Clan's upcoming album The 8 Diagrams...the group's first album in over 6 years. It contains an interpolation of the Beatles recording "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", which is a feat in itself due to the historic inability of sample clearances from the Beatles. In addition to the Clan's MCs, it features George Harrison's son Dhani, the Red Hot Chili Peppers' John Frusciante and Erykah Badu.
