Marley Marl is unquestionably one of the greatest producers and DJs in hip hop history. His influence and importance to hip hop are undeniable, and his innovative productions and pioneering use of sampling helped define the genre. Marley Marl has produced beats for some of the music's finest MCs including Big Daddy Kane, MC Shan, LL Cool J, Biz Markie, Roxanne Shante, Kool G Rap, Nas, Rakim, and Masta Ace.
In this episode of Classic Recipes, the legendary producer explains and demonstrates how he created the beat for MC Shan's "The Bridge," one of the most memorable beats in hip hop history. As always, along with the beat programming tips and composition/production techniques he also gives us the lowdown on where and when the music was originally created.
Marl recalls the moment he first met MC Shan and recorded "Marley Marl Scratch," and also remembers when legendary rap radio personality Mr. Magic rejected a Boogie Down Productions record that was submitted for airplay on WBLS-FM, later resulting in the feud between the South Bronx crew and Marl's Juice Crew.
"The Bridge" was originally created using the Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer and the Korg SDD-2000 Sampling Digital Delay. Marley Marl programmed the beat by triggering drum sounds (the kick and snare) from the TR-808 into the SDD-2000, giving the track a unique sound and feel.
In this video he recreates the beat using the Akai MPC Renaissance; instead of just sampling The Honey Drippers' track "Impeach The President" intro drum beat, Marley completely reprogrammed the beat from the kick and snare right down to the "Ladies and gentlemen" voice intro. Along with adding some ghost notes, he reversed The Magic Disco Machine's "Scratching'" record to create the stabs and gritty noises you hear at the beginning of "The Bridge." (Check out the last episode of Classic Recipes for more on ghost notes and how Marl used them in Eric B. & Rakim's "Eric B. Is President." http://bit.ly/Toe3tt)

(Instagram)Rihanna talks a lot of talk about how unapologetic she is, but there's at least one person who can make her feel shame: Her mom. In her upcoming interview with Elle UK, the singer confesses that her mother does take issue with some of her raunchy antics — specifically, nude photos.
"I'm not afraid of any person in this world, but my mother, I'm terrified of her!" Rihanna toldElle (via ContactMusic). "She called me two days ago and reeled me in about two naked pictures Melissa [Forde, Rihanna's best friend] put up on Instagram, a sneak peek from a photo book she's making about me. She went crazy on me, I was like embarrassed. I felt like I got my ass whipped in front of my class at school! She humbled the f**k out of me."

There can be only one
Manfredo wins battle of Contender stars with convincing win Friday night over Wright
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (March 15th, 2013) – The original Contender turned out to be the last one standing Friday night at Twin River Casino.
In a battle of former reality-television stars, Providence, R.I., super middleweight Peter Manfredo Jr. (39-7) inched closer to his 40th career victory and won for the second time since returning to professional boxing with a dominant performance against fellow Contender participant Walter Wright (14-4).
Manfredo effectively worked his jab and simply out-boxed Wright over the course of 10 roudns to earn a 98-93, 100-90, 97-93 unanimous decision win against Wright, who took the fight – his first in two years – on just two week’s notice. Toward the middle rounds, Wright could barely see out of his right eye, which had swelled shut due to excessive shots from Manfredo.
“The Pride Of Providence,” a Season 1 finalist on The Contender reality television series, returned in November with a convincing win over Rayco Saunders and is now one win shy of 40 victories following Friday’s dominant performance. Wright, a Seattle, Wash., native, was a quarterfinalist on Season 2 of The Contender.
Facing his former sparring partner and protégé of former world heavyweight champion John Ruiz, Pawtucket, R.I., middleweight Thomas Falowo (9-1, 7 KOs) delivered an impressive over the tough Julio Garcia (6-4) of Boston (Rincon, Puerto Rico), stopping Garcia after five brutal rounds. With his face bloodied, Garcia did not answer the bell for the sixth and final round.
Two intra-city rivals squared off in the co-feature as Joe Gardner (11-5-1) and Reynaldo Rodriguez (6-6-1) battled until the final bell of their six-round super middleweight bout. The crafty Garnder kept his distance despite Rodriguez’s attempts to turn the fight into a brawl. Rodriguez picked up the pace in the later rounds, but Gardner ultimately out-worked and out-boxed his opponent to score a 58-56 unanimous-decision win on all three scorecards.
Looking to bounce back from the first loss of his career, Burlington, Vt., light heavyweight Kevin Cobbs (7-1) came through swimmingly in a 39-36, 37-38, 39-36 split-decision win over hard-hitting Harwich, Mass., native Paul Gonsalves (4-3). Once he found his rhythm, Cobbs maintained a steady pace and scored a knockdown in the third round to help seal the victory.
The night began with a dynamic, back-and-forth bout in the female bantamweight division as Noemi Bosques (1-0-1) of St. Petersburg, Fla., and Brooklyn’s Vanessa Greco (1-2-2) fought to a majority draw over four rounds. Bosques, who now lives and trains in Providence, R.I., won 39-37 on one of the judge’s scorecards, but the other two judges scored it 38-38. In the welterweight division, 19-year-old Patryk Szymanski (6-0) of North Bergen, N.J. (Wroclaw, Poland), kept his perfect record intact with a hard-fought 60-54, 59-57, 58-56 win over Brockton, Mass., veteran Antonio Chaves Fernandes (2-9-2). Warwick, R.I., veteran Benny Costantino (7-3) was forced to quit with 13 seconds remaining in the second round of his scheduled four-round super middleweight bout against Emmanuel Medina (3-3-1) after suffering a knee injury. Medina was credited with a second-round technical knockout, the third knockout victory of his career.

(AllHipHop News) Three of Hip-Hop’s legendary performers are set to travel to Atlanta later this month to participate at the Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s 46th National Keystone Conference.
Darryl “DMC” McDaniels of Run-D.M.C, Doug E. Fresh, and DJ Spinderella of Salt-n-Pepa have been tapped to provide motivational sessions at the youth leadership conference that will host more than 1,800 teens from 157 cities across the country.
This year’s National Keystone Conference (March 21-24) will feature the theme “ATL–All Teens Lead.” The young leaders will take part in various workshops covering topics like bullying prevention, financial literacy, and college preparedness as well as robotics, sports, and film making. Conference goers will also volunteer at service projects throughout the Atlanta area.
“Boys & Girls Clubs of America believes a critical step to ensuring success for teens is to actively engage them and empower them to lead through initiatives like the Keystone Conference,” said Jim Clark, President and CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of America in a press release.
The Keystone Conference will not just be all work and no play for the teens. Several social activities are planned as well as musical performances by American Idol winner Jordin Sparks and Atlanta native B.O.B.
The Boys & Girls Clubs partnered with the Taco Bell Foundation for Teens to create Keystone Clubs – leadership groups for young people ages 14-18 that focus on academic success, career preparation, and community service.
Keystone Club members are just part of the 100,000 teens served by the Taco Bell Foundation every year. The Foundation also awards over 350 educational and career grants and scholarships annually.
