Friday Jams (Daptone Love Edition)

You can track my progression in music appreciation by what record label I am listening to most over the years. At the end of high school and the beginning of my freshmen year at Clemson, I listened mostly to stuff released on Rawkus Records (Mos Def, Kweli, Pharoah, Company Flow). From the second semester of my freshmen year until my junior year, it was all Def Jux (El-P, Aesop Rock, RJD2, Cannibal Ox). Then on to Stones Throw (Madlib, Dilla, PB Wolf, J.Rocc) until I graduated. Since then, it's kind of hard to explain since Parliament, Funkadelic, Booty's Rubber Band, and the rest of the splintering of the Parliafunkadelicmentthang was spread out over 5 different labels. 

I've been listening to a lot of stuff from Daptone Records (Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, Budos Band) lately. Mark Ronson is always gettin down with the Dap Kings for his productions (Amy Winehouse, Wale) because game recognize game. Peep Game...

This is the actual take that made the album. Recorded live without overdubbing on an analog 8-track recorder. Check Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings recording Answer Me for the 100 Days 100 Nights LP. So steezy:

Here's Sharon and dems doing Let Them Knock on that same french TV show from the last Monday Wake Up Joint edition. Peep:

How bout Wale's Chicago Falcon Remix. Don't know if your into afrobeat getting remixed to some 808 gogo disco rap, but if you are, this is for you. It even dips into B-More during the breaks. Peep:

And in case you wanted to see where that came from, here's Chicago Falcon by the Budos Band from their self-titled LP:
