URP Tuesdays -- April 5th, 2010 -- Motion Picture Ish...

And now, for the feature presentation...

We decided to get the ball rolling with the beat battle, as usual. This week's theme was our favourite tracks from a movie soundtrack. Narrowing it down to one track each was no easy task, but we did our best. The Big M pick of the night was a personal favourite that only a small handful of people will agree with, but whatever: Pandemonium by The Pharcyde, from King Of New York. 2Face Al picked Am I Black Enough For You by Schoolly D. Agree? Disagree? Want to punch us in the face based on our choices? You can do two of the three at the URP Facebook Page.

We here at the Urban Renewal Project are fans of music in general, not only Hip-Hop, which is why we take a moment to acknowledge the work of Nirvana frontman, Kurt Cobain. Like him or not, you have to appreciate his approach to music. Rest In Power (Kurt Cobain February 20, 1967 – April 5, 1994)



We bumped a ton of tunes tonight from the likes of Classified, King Reign, Royce Da 5'9, Black Moon, Planet Asia, Saigon and many more. Stay tuned to www.URPRadio.Podomatic.com, as we are in the process of throwing up any past shows we've missed in the past couple weeks!

URP Tuesdays -- March 15, 2010 -- Japan Love, RIP Nate Dogg

Before anything else, the Urban Renewal Project must encourage you to visit www.JapanLove.ca and help in any way you can. There are certain events that put things in perspective and make us realize the fortune we receive in comparison to other nations. Our donations go a long way.

As if the earthquakes weren't enough, we have just learned that Nate Dogg has passed away. Exact causes aren't known at this point but it's logical to assume the strokes he suffered within the last 4 years were a factor in the deterioration of his health. RIP Nathaniel "Nate Dogg" Hale (August 19, 1969 - March 15, 2011). He was only 41 years old.



We learned of Nate's passing partway through the show, so the only tunes that really mattered were the Nate Dogg jams... If for some reason you listen to us but don't know who he is, please google him. We shifted our focus towards an extensive Nate set as a tribute to an artist who was the definition of 'making your own lane'. His passing is a great tragedy that will be felt throughout the Hip-Hop community and beyond.

Stay tuned for the podcast to hear the set for yourself, until then, pop in your favourite DPG album and let it rock for Nate.
