generation69 music: Amp Soul Generation Feat. Steve Spacek + Amp Fiddler

Amp Soul Generation:First there were the Romans, and then came the baby boomers, now its time for a new generation: the Amp Soul Generation.Jay Scarlett, Spacek Sound System co-warrior, first hit soul mate Roland Arnoldt in his German radio show. Soon they realized they got the same airwaves in their blood, both addicted to turntables and a microphone and - all kinds of organic music.

After years of diggin, they now have come to the point that at the end of the day its only 21 grams that matter. This is what your body looses, when u die. And some say it’s the weight of the soul. That’s why from now on the renowned Amp Soul Generation scientists inject you two hours of highly concentrated soul per month - to strengthen that very obscure part of the body, just as your doctor recommends:Enjoy some to die for classics blended with spaced out future projects, sit back and relax to deep conversations with weird people about doing heavenly good music and - wonder about two guys on the microphone trying their best to describe what they will never be able to describe: the essence of soul. Too make it short, this show will light up your day. Life could be that easy.

Also highly recommended for your listening pleasure:

generation69: Hendrix family disputes song sale

The family of late rock musician Jimi Hendrix has threatened to take legal action over a $15m (£7.9m) sale of some of his best-known songs.

Hendrix is remembered for
his performance at the 1969
Woodstock festival

A company owned by Hendrix's family has said it will prove it owns the title and rights to hits including Purple Haze and Voodoo Chile.

The songs were auctioned on Thursday as part of the estate of Hendrix manager Michael Jeffery, who died in 1973.

The rock guitarist died in London  three years earlier at the age of 27.

Rights issue

A spokesman for the Seattle-based Experience Hendrix company said: "Whoever bought this bought themselves the right to be a litigant.

"It will be contested instantly," added Bob Merlis.

The company claimed that it owns all rights to the music and recordings of the musician.

The Chicago-based auction house which conducted the telephone sale in New York declined to comment.

Hendrix continues to sell around 600,000 albums a year worldwide.                    

Shareefa: Ready For The World

By Tambra Cherie

                                                                                              

"Come wit it, need somebody that’s real gangsta/I need a pappi, somebody I call daddy"
So we have another bossy chick amongst us. Well, this one demands a boss, and she is not taking anything less. Shareefa, the New Jersey native recently signed to Disturbing the Peace, isn’t taking anything lightly within her career. Known as the soul of the DTP family, Shareefa has been stunning audiences throughout the country with her rugged, emotional sound.

Her edgy voice encompasses her personality through strong, subjective messages, and she acknowledges that her path to success was rocky - but well worth it. Shareefa recently took time out of her hectic schedule to speak with us about her career aspirations, the new album, and who the true first lady of DTP really is.

AllHipHop.com Alternatives: You were once referred to as Teddy Riley’s protégé. How did he actually help and influence you in the music industry?

Shareefa: He’s a legend. He is brilliant in the studio, as well as a perfectionist. There would be many times I would want to fight him coming out the booth. But, when I would go in and record songs, he would tell me to go ahead and Julian would record me. Julian is the engineer who knows nothing about being flat or being sharp or harmony. I didn’t know anything about it either, so I was feeling like he was playing me out like he really didn’t have time to be in there.

So, what I started doing, was going to his sessions at the studio and I would watch him with each artist. I learned what was flat and what was sharp. I learned how to stack harmony. I had to fall back and be easy. It took time. If it was up to me, I thought I was ready like five years ago.

AHHA: What happen with that relationship?

Shareefa: Nothing. I was with him off and on for about three or four years, and he went his way and I went my way. It didn’t work out. I never got a deal or nothing. I was back and forth. And at the time, I was in high school.

AHHA: Considering you are originally from New Jersey and raised in North Carolina, and Disturbing the Peace being based in the South, have your styles of music conflicted or complemented one another?

Shareefa: Complemented one another. You really can’t put a place on my music. My music is universal. I really don’t make music for one type of audience - I make music for everyone to listen to. I try not to limit myself.

AHHA: Did you have any concerns about signing to Disturbing the Peace considering how slowly Shawna’s career progressed?

Shareefa: No, not at all. I never had a doubt. I love my team and I couldn’t be happier.

AHHA: “Need A Boss” was actually produced by Rodney Jerkins. Was he involved in signing of you to DTP?

Shareefa: No, not at all.

AHHA: How has it been working with him?

Shareefa: You work a lot. He is a perfectionist in the studio. He will make you read a line about a 100 times.

AHHA: What about Ludacris?

Shareefa: It’s been wonderful. We have been doing a lot of shows. I have been coming out on a lot of his shows and he has been coming to a lot of my shows. He has definitely been supportive. The support is there.

AHHA: So, do you really need a boss?

Shareefa: Of course, I think we all need bosses in our life. Everybody needs a boss. And let me clear up the meaning behind a boss... Some people think it’s about somebody bossing you around. A boss is a man, a real man that goes about his business, and handles his business and has goals and dreams in life - just as well as I do, and just as well as you do. He wants more out of life. That’s a go-getter.

AHHA: What was actually your inspiration behind the song?

Shareefa: Rodney Jerkins. He came up with the whole idea and everything.

AHHA: Do you feel like you have to live up to a certain image? A lot of women today feel like they have to be sexy and fulfill that sex image?

Shareefa: No, I just feel like I need to be myself.

AHHA: What’s the significance of your album title, Point of No Return?

Shareefa: It’s basically where I am in my life. I can’t go backwards. The only way to move is forward. There comes a time in your life when you feel like you hit rock bottom and you have to get up out that corner. You have to keep it moving. Only a fool will move backwards. This album is like a pot of gumbo. You got your steak, your chicken, your shrimp, and your fish. I don’t sugar-coat anything. It’s live and uncut.

AHHA: You are a fan of Mary J. Blige and Keyshia Cole. Would you consider them some of your influences, and would you compare your style of music to theirs?

Shareefa: Oh yes definitely.  The emotion behind the music makes us similar.

AHHA: Who do you get compared to most in the industry?

Shareefa: Mary J. Blige and Lauren Hill. That’s a beautiful compliment.

AHHA: Are you concerned about the possibility of being put in the position to take the “First Lady” title from Shawna - whether by the label or the public?

Shareefa: No, she will always be the first lady because she is a rapper, and I feel like I will always be the first lady because I am the first R & B singer.

AHHA: What do you think makes an artist successful in today’s music climate?

Shareefa: I don’t know, because music is so fickle today. You can be singing about peanut butter and jelly and going platinum now. I think just being yourself and not getting caught up in these images and this fake life, well, the phony life. Stay doing what you do that is comfortable to you. Stop trying to wear all these different types of hats.

AHHA: Are there any other areas of entertainment you would like to pursue other than singing?

Shareefa: Acting. I am acting a little bit in my new video, “Cry No More,” that we just shot. Young Buck is in it, so shout out to G-Unit.

AHHA: So if you could choose any movie to remake with you in the lead role, what would it be?

Shareefa: Set It Off and I would be Vivica. Her whole attitude and the sassiness is me. That was it. But, I think I would have lived. They wouldn’t have caught me.

generation69: DIP-SKATE, DIP-SKATE, DIP-SOUTH, DIP-SOUTH

Hey, everybody! I'm back, I'm refreshed and I'm ready to get it poppin' like Dipset in a street war. Seriously, Lupe Fiasco, Pharrell and the whole skating culture has trickled down to the crew of Diplomats. This is a team of skaters that now consists of Ramelle Knight and Calvin Sayles, but they aren't skate boarders. These dudes use roller skates, but they do a lot of the same dangerous tricks.

Beatles lose Apple court battle

The Beatles set up record label Apple Corps in 1968

The Beatles have lost their court challenge against Apple Computer over its iPod and iTunes download service.

Sir Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and the families of George Harrison and John Lennon control the Apple Corps label.

They claimed the US firm broke a deal aimed at ensuring there would not be two Apples in the music industry.

But Mr Justice Anthony Mann ruled that the computer company used the Apple logo in association with its store, not the music, and so was not in breach.

The ruling means iPods and iTunes will still be able to carry the Apple name and logo.

With great respect to the trial judge, we consider he has reached the wrong conclusion Neil Aspinall Apple Corps

The Beatles' label, which wanted London's High Court to award damages and stop its rival using the Apple logo in its music operations, will appeal.

Mr Justice Mann ruled iTunes was "a form of electronic shop" and not involved in creating music.

"I conclude that the use of the apple logo ... does not suggest a relevant connection with the creative work," he wrote in his judgment.

"I think that the use of the apple logo is a fair and reasonable use of the mark in connection with the service, which does not go further and unfairly or unreasonably suggest an additional association with the creative works themselves."

Apple Corps must pay its rival's legal bill, estimated at £2m, but the judge refused an interim payment of £1.5m pending further hearings.

Exclusive rights

The record label said the rise of iTunes broke an agreement the two sides hammered out in 1991 after their last dispute.

That deal gave the record label exclusive rights to use the apple trademark for the record business, Geoffrey Vos QC, representing Apple Corps, told the court.

Apple Computer, whose products helped launch the personal computer industry, was founded in 1976 and its logo is an apple with a section removed from the side.

We have always loved The Beatles, and hopefully we can now work together to get them on the iTunes Music Store Steve Jobs Apple Computer

Apple Corps was set up by The Beatles in 1968 and is represented by a complete green Granny Smith apple.

Apple Corps manager Neil Aspinall said: "With great respect to the trial judge, we consider he has reached the wrong conclusion.

"We felt that during the course of the trial we clearly demonstrated just how extensively Apple Computer had broken the agreement.

"We will accordingly be filing an appeal and putting the case again to the Court of Appeal."

Apple Computer chief executive Steve Jobs said: "We are glad to put this disagreement behind us.

"We have always loved The Beatles, and hopefully we can now work together to get them on the iTunes Music Store."

The launch of the iPod, a portable digital music player, in 2001, and its iTunes music store two years later, prompted the latest battle.

Court download

About three million songs are downloaded from the service every day.

Tracks by The Beatles have not been licensed for downloading and are not available on the service.

Mr Vos demonstrated how to use iTunes during the hearing - downloading Chic's 1978 disco hit Le Freak in the courtroom.

He pointed out to Mr Justice Mann how many times the Apple logo appeared on the computer screen as he went through the process.  more

MTV targets music download market

The digital music market is growing and analysts see strong demand

MTV, the television company that is credited with popularising music videos, is turning its attention to the online and digital download market.

Its music service Urge will offer users 2 million songs from Wednesday that can be bought either separately for $0.99 (£0.53) or via a monthly subscription. AllCoolmusic offers over 12 billion unlimited downloads which is currently rated the number one music download site in North America.

The service will be the featured music player on Microsoft's Media Player.

Urge will be compatible with more than 100 digital music players but not with the market leader, Apple's iPod.

'Well-recognised brand'

"We will concentrate on people who don't have iPods," said Van Toffler, president of MTV Networks Music Group.

"Hopefully, through the TV channels we have and the dot-com sites...we can educate people about the virtues of subscriptions. It's not about selling a million singles," he added.

"Only 5% of music is sold digitally. We are just getting going."

Urge will offer users albums at about $9.95, and unlimited music downloads at two monthly rates of $9.95 and $14.95 (the higher price allowing unlimited transfers to portable players). The service also plans to offer video downloads.

Analysts had a mixed response to the plans, and said that the market already was crowded with well-established rivals such as Napster.

"The thing that works to their advantage is they have a well-recognized brand that is popular to a demographic that is going to be receptive to purchasing digital music," said Phil Leigh, an analyst at Inside Digital Media.

However, entertainment industry attorney and author Steve Gordon asked "whether the consumer really wants a service that's only compatible with non-iPod players".

The Apple iTunes service has a library of 3 million tunes and users have downloaded more than 1bn songs since it was launched in 2003.

The iPod, launched in 2001, has sold more than 50m units, and last year Apple launched a video version of the portable music player.
