Congratulations on your wins and good luck on those videos. Keep up the great work!

Kudos Jay-your blog rocks in all colors. Loved the 3 on a match paper moon bit. Keep 'em coming.

YAY!

Congrats and.. come on.. we live in NYC .. ride the subway and talk about the hip-hop related faux pas'(misspellings happen when stupid me wants to be smart) you see everyday until you get sick of it. that will get you a day right there.

awwwwww Here We GO!!! :D

Good luck with the experiment!

its only a paaaaaper moon... thanks.. now i gotta deal with THAT stuck in my head all day.

Congrats on the win! Can't wait to check out the show! We received best podcast at the BWA too!

Yo. Word up Jay-S. Congrats. I found you in Wired this month. Yes, I'm a hip-hop geek. Anyway, keep it up. So far I'm hooked.

Cream rises to the top. Enjoy your work and style. Looking forward to this month of daily posts. Singing. Not so much. But if you are taking requests ... I'd like to see/hear you belt out a rendition of "My Way".

Congrats!

For your September Experiment could you please talk about out a 12 track Lp there maybe 2 legit tracks. Joell Ortiz/Common/Talib/Ugk didn't fall into that mold but most of the albums are 2 pump chumps

Sweeeeet!How about you talk about where the female mc has gone in America. Where is Jean Grey?

Since you are doing all these videos this month I might be of some assistance with editing the videos. I am a video editor for my profession and I subscribe to your blogs. If you are interested...contact me ;)

As Rakim is your witness, hunh?

Ok well speak on why these sucka-ass new dudes (quote me. but first test it out by saying "jive turkey) don't have scratchin on their new albums.

I snuck and tried to be positive and listened to several new albums including Lupe's little shit.

And I want you touch on the abscence of the all important element of scratchin in Hip Hop music.

Laptop, Serrato-ass suckas!

Speak on it, God!

"I 'ont really know about that other stuff. I'm a just put it like this: I like to rub records." - PETE ROCK (Best Hip Hop beatmaker of all time ever. Don't believe me? Ask Shut 'em down remix. Ask Next on the Menu. Ask For Pete's Sake.)

Can you touch on the "Read a Book" Rap?

sing!!! YES

Please speak on the "art" hip hop scene.. dudes like Sage Francis, Aesop Rock, El P and the like.. I'd be interested to know your views on it. PEACE!

How about Ten Albums My Unborn Son Needs to Hear to Understand Hip-Hop?

Congrats! I see a little ze frank influence. But for real, congrats!

I'm a big fan of lists, Jay. Let's see a blog of your 10 favorite funny scenes from hip-hop videos. And splice in the actual scenes. YouTube is your friend.

Love the site, however I keep getting a damn "stack overflow error" when I click on a link or leave the site. Anyone else?

chill-tron: Yeah I think that's a bug in podtech's video player, hopefully is being worked on. It only happens in IE though, so maybe it is meant as karmic retribution for not switching to Firefox.

Congrats Jay! I found out about you on Stereohyped which also won a Black Weblog award. Anyway, good luck with the experiment but please refrain from singing. It's not a good look, bro.

congrats on the win, Jay.
you deserve it.
here's a topic you may want to discuss during this momentous month of posting:
Why Baby Boomers Abhor Hip-Hop.
I'll be driving around bumpin some nice rap, no commercial gangsta gangsta shit, im talkin old school nas, main source, tribe, common, wu-tang, you get the idea and these jokers get the worst angryfaces I ever seen. They are also liable to move up 9 feet at a red light when they hear the knock.
like that 9 feet is gonna stop the power of the bass in their eye.

Rose, Harburg, and Arlen would be proud. :)

worve to masta ace

yo i noticed the same shit.

people know the real.

that shit is like garlic to vampyres or something.

but on the bright side, I discovered two things over the weekend that all y'all prolly already knew:
1. You CAN do the wop of off Eric B is President.

and

2. Fela's Water No Get No Enemy. I'm so late on this I know. I know. Joey Blanco at the rekkid store told me to get it in '98. Now I'm just bumpin Grown Man Sport Instrumental over and over(Pete Rock strikes again) to make up for it.

-Black People

Congrats Smooth, and yes i did vote for you. But then again, as someone suggested, i would even vote for you for president of the United States of North America.

You’ve asked for vid ideas. Two come to mind: Can you explain why somebody...say like Paul Robeson, does not get sampled in Hip Hop more? Or has he?

And can you talk, in some kind of context, about the importance of drinking more Water?
Sorry, strike that...
I don’t really have second idea.

Anon…….anthony – T (from thePatterson’s takingthetraintoTibet.)

IDEA: mos def was on Bill Mahr tonight, it was amazing. He rocked shit.

Miles Bonny "Water Get No Beats"

BP, how did you not know "Water No Get Enemy"??

i camt wait to see a new vid everyday on some ze shit

sorry for all the ze refs buts it's uncanny

ze and bobbito's lovechild is a baller!

Congrats on the awards, I'm a huge fan of your videos. The one that really impressed me was your commentary on Nas Vs. O'Reilly. You need to speak on these stupid "Ringles." Hmm... other random ideas..... Where the fuck is Detox?... Kanye vs. 50 vs. Kenny Chesney vs. Osama.... Sam Jackson "crankin dat Soulja Boy"... you could always speak on some artists your into that no one else knows about....
Keep up the good work!

cmon jay its 4:34, where's this new video?

You know, you never finished your thoughts on Oprah and her stance on hip hop music.

Uh, J... not for nuthing, you owe us 6 already since you posted on Sept. 7. Start singing... how about a Prince song (heh!!).
Regards and keep up the great work,
Deidra (from theglobe.com days)

Oh... and I did vote for you. Thanks to one of your commentors who posted that you were on the Black Weblog Awards. FYI, nice voice... can a get that in a ringtone?

I want to see a "Jay Smooth's TOP 10" do one each month or something... one month can be "Top ten rap artist"... another month can be "Top 10 most embarissing people"...

peace
I love crack

I dunno, Smooth.

I was trying to be stubborn and when they had all those reissues/comps floodin' the rekkid stores I just didn't wanna be on the bandwagon.

Now I feel extra guilty cause not only was Fela wicked with the lead on the music tip, he also was an activist.

(changes subject)

But hey! I know now.

That's all the counts right?

-Black People

Jay! Failure is not an option, remember. You're two days behind so that's two sing-a-longs.

ok, jay smooth singing. hmmm...
i'm going to try my DAMNdest to keep your mind stocked with ideas because that was scary. i can't stop hearing it in my head...

MAKE IT STOP!!!

Well, well, with all your hard work for all these years someone finally takes notice, but it's Wired Magazine? Cool that way we know that you got it on your merits alone. Now that's Hip-Hop breaking down barriers and new ground. Plus Wired Magazine is cool. Peace.
