RIP Roy Ayers, one of the last titans, whose sprawling influence transformed all of pop culture: from jazz to neo-soul, funk, disco & hip-hop. He settled in Brooklyn but was South Central's own, one of the last geniuses from Central Ave refracting warm, infinitely pure vibrations.

Roy Ayers was one of those figures where you don't even know where to begin or how to eulogize his impact, which was basically all-encompassing. Better to pick a few favorite moments. And one of mine was his collaboration with Fela Kuti circa '79, as seen here live in Nigeria.

In an era of classic Blaxploitation soundtracks, "Coffy" holds its own with any of them.

The Roy Ayers and Fela "Music of Many Colours" album blends hard-edged funk with shimmering vibraphone-tinted beauty about as well as anything ever recorded.

Even in his late period, Ayers remained one of the most vital performers alive. The catalogue was unmatched, but also guys like Pete Rock and Robert Glasper revered him and wanted to impress the master. As seen here in 2011 at the North Sea Jazz Festival

And obviously, every summertime warrants dusting off "Everybody Loves the Sunshine." @deanvannguyen paid tribute to it and the King of Vibes a few years back on POW.

happy bornday Grand Puba Maxwell. there’s an argument to be made that from 88 (Masters of Ceremony), to 95 (2000), he was the best rapper on the planet. along with the Lo-Lifes, Puba was also a MASSIVE influence on hip-hop fashion. one of the most effortless flows of all-time.

Remembering the great Roy Ayers who was born on this day in 1940. Described as the Godfather of Neo Soul, Ayers helped pioneer jazz-funk and was a key figure in the acid jazz movement. As a solo artist, he released dozens of albums over the years, dating as far back as 1963, and scored his biggest hit “Everybody Loves the Sunshine” with his group Roy Ayers Ubiquity. When asked about his genre-hopping approach to music, Ayres said: “I don’t think I’m really so unique. What we call ‘soul’ has been around a long time. It comes out of a particular culture that is African in origin, but influenced by 250 years of slavery, as well as other forms of racial oppression.” Ayers’ songs have been sampled by everyone from Mary J. Blige and Common to Tyler, the Creator and he collaborated with musicians including the Roots, Guru, Fela Kuti and Rick James. His last solo album “Mahogany Vibe,” came out in 2004, and featured guest appearances from Betty Wright, Kamilah and Erykah Badu. In 2015, he made a guest appearance on Tyler, the Creator’s track “Find Your Wings” and two years later performed at the rapper’s Camp Flog Gnaw festival. He teamed with Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad for “Roy Ayers JID002,” a collaborative album released through Jazz Is Dead in 2020. Here, he is performing “Everybody Loves The Sunshine” with Zachary Breaux on guitar, Donald Nicks on bass, Rex Rideout on keyboards & synthesizer and Dennis Davis on drums live in England, 1992.

Trump just revealed one of the last things Charlie Kirk ever said to him...and it was about his hometown: Chicago. “Raised in the suburbs of Chicago, Charlie was filled with the patriotic spirit from his youth.” “He was an all-American in everything he did.” “One of the last things he said to me is; ‘Please Sir, save Chicago.’” “We’re going to do that. We’re going to save Chicago from horrible crime.”

Alden may have had his hits and misses, but there's no denying that he has been part of two pop culture phenomena over the course of a decade—one from TV and one from movies—and not just a small part, but the lead guy. That fact alone secures his legacy in Filipino pop culture.

Boogie Down Productions - “My Philosophy” The biggest misconception about KRS-One is that he’s a “conscious” rapper. But long before that label was ever used to describe some rappers (often in a derogatory manner), KRS-One was dropping science. Not sure when it became a thing for any rapper to *not be conscience. But if you really listen to the pioneering rappers from Melle Mel to Run-DMC to LL Cool J to Rakim to Chuck D to Kool G Rap to MC Lyte to Queen Latifah…you’ll notice one thing for certain: They were all “conscious”. That is to say, they were all obliviously intelligent, aware of their environment and surroundings, and completely at ease with expanded vocabularies and nuanced poetry. And yet, none of them were ignorant of the streets. KRS-One, of the greatest MCs of all time (and an automatic win in ANY MC battle), displayed intelligence right from the start. He was also from the streets. And while over time labels have been used to misinform people about what hip hop/rap music was, is, and can be, these two things should never be seen as mutually exclusive. Especially since hip hop/rap music’s roots are deeply embedded in the streets. In fact, this is one of the primary elements that gives hip hop/rap music it’s distinct flavor. Another primary element that distinguishes hip hop/rap music from all other music forms is sampling. Here, on the aptly titled “My Philosophy,” a sampled-based song built around menacing drums and flip of sample of Stanley Turrentine’s and Milt Jackson’s “Sister Sanctified,” we feel the force of sampling in hip hop/rap music. As I say in my book The Art of Sampling, 3rd Edition, hip hop beatmakers (producers) can convert anything to hip hop form. And the reconceptualization and recontextualization of a small sample from an obscure jazz fusion tune like “Sister Sanctified” goes a long way in proving this point…
