DJ Kid Capri and Producer Just Blaze Are Masters Of The Mix - Milwaukee Hip-Hop Scene | Examiner.com
DJ's don't tend to get a whole lot of spotlight in the Hip-Hop community. And it looks like BET and Centric networks are looking to change that via a new reality show. The show will be entitled Master Of The Mix and the networks have enlisted Hip-Hop heavyweights DJ Kid Capri and producer Just Blaze as hosts.
The show is being sponsored by infamous alcohol company Smirnoff. The purpose of the new program is to put the top DJ's in the world against each other to compete for a $250,000 grand prize. Some of the DJ's on deck to participate in the competition include: DJ Jazzy Joyce, Rich Medina, DJ Scratch, and several others. The show will begin at a luxury crib in Hollywood Hills. From there, it will move on to the cities of: Las Vegas, Miami, Los Angeles, New York, and London. In each place, the DJ's will take part in a series of challenges to test and show off their skills. Reps from Smirnoff are excited about the show as Master Of The Mix will make for their first ever reality television venture. So it could open up a whole new level of opportunities for the brand. Additionally, reps from Smirnoff say that they pride themselves on their product being a huge part of the nightlife/party scene. And since DJ's are an essential part of the nightlife/party scene too, they couldn't think of a better show to support. Master Of The Mix is slated to debut on Centric on November 3, 2010. And BET will host re-runs for the show on Saturdays at midnight EST.
In the meantime, catch up with DJ Kid Capri here. Plus, check out more details about the show and the competitors here. And if you liked this article, take a look at this one as well.

NAS VS DEF JAM (LETTER)
Wednesday, October 6, 2010 NAS VS DEF JAM (LETTER)
From: Nas
To: LA Reid, Steve Bartels, Steve Gawley, Michael Seltzer, Joseph Borrino, Chris Hicks
Subject: PUT MY SHIT OUT!
Peace to all, With all do respect to you all, Nas is NOBODY's slave. This is not the 1800's, respect me and I will respect you. I won't even tap dance around in an email, I will get right into it. People connect to the Artist @ the end of the day, they don't connect with the executives. Honestly, nobody even cares what label puts out a great record, they care about who recorded it. Yet time and time again its the executives who always stand in the way of a creative artist's dream and aspirations. You don't help draw the truth from my deepest and most inner soul, you don't even do a great job @ selling it. The #1 problem with DEF JAM is pretty simple and obvious, the executives think they are the stars. You aren't.... not even close. As a matter of fact, you wish you were, but it didn't work out so you took a desk job. To the consumer, I COME FIRST. Stop trying to deprive them! I have a fan base that dies for my music and a RAP label that doesn't understand RAP. Pretty fucked up situation
This isn't the 90's though. Beefing with record labels is so 15 years ago. @ this point I just need you all to be very clear where I stand and how I feel about "my label." I could go on twitter or hot 97 tomorrow and get 100,000 protesters @ your building but I choose to walk my own path my own way because since day one I have been my own man. I did business with Tommy Mottola and Donnie Einer, two of the most psycho dudes this business ever created. I worked well with them for one major reason....... they believed in me. The didn't give a fuck about what any radio station or magazine said....those dudes had me. Lost Tapes is a movement and a very important set up piece for my career as it stands. I started this over 5 years ago @ Columbia and nobody knew what it was or what it did but the label put it out as an LP and the fans went crazy for it and I single handlely built a new brand of rap albums. It's smart and after 5 years it's still a head of the game. This feels great and you not feeling what I'm feeling is disturbing.
Don't get in the way of my creativity. We are aligned with the stars here, this is a movement. There is a thing called KARMA that comes to haunt you when you tamper with the aligning stars. WE ARE GIVING THE PEOPLE EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT. Stop throwing dog shit on a MAGICAL moment. You don't get another Nas recording that doesn't count against my deal....PERIOD! Keep your bullshit $200,000.00 fund. Open the REAL budget. This is a New York pioneers ALBUM, there ain't many of us. I am ready to drop in the 4th quarter. You don't even have shit coming out! Stop being your own worst enemy. Let's get money!
