The Luther Burger

In commemoration of Hip Hop Congress selling Krispy Kreme, I present the "Luther Burger". For those of you who watch The Boondocks, yes, this is the burger Grandad made for his restaurant. It consists of a 4lb burger, grilled onions, cheese and 5 pieces of bacon, all put between two Krispy Kreme donuts. According to Grandad, it was supposed to have been invented by "Mr. Luther Vandross" himself.

To relate this to hip-hop though, the opening of the Boondocks is by Asheru.

ODB

       

             The Wu-Tang show in Anaheim last week was pretty dope. Though there were some random openers, the clan  came on and didn't disappoint. Towards the end of the show Method Man decided to dedicate a song or two to a fallen member of the Clan ODB, 'Ol Dirty Bastard. ODB passed away back in '04, and though he had a few run ins with the law, his music still has a large presence today. His album ' Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version' is stacked with hard hitting instrumentals unique to the clan. If you have a few minutes I would suggest giving the album a listen even if you already have.

I still love H.E.R.

In 2006 with the release of "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" came the Teriyaki Boyz with their movie titled song "Tokyo Drift". Many took them as a joke because the song is, for my lack of vocabulary, poop. In 2007, they released a single called "I Still Love H.E.R." with production by Kanye West. This song, more serious, is actually an ode to hip hop. Though most of it is in Japanese (which I don't understand), there are parts in English that are song titles of older hip hop tracks. The song name itself is a refernce to Common's "I Used to Love H.E.R.", but the H.E.R is a pun in Japanese where the H stands for honto (本当), E stands for ii (いい) (the i in Japanese is pronounced like the English E), and R stands for rap. Other references I have found are:
Nas - Memory Lane

Biz Markie - Just a Friend

Pete Rock & CL Smooth - T.R.O.Y.

Ahmad - Back In The Day

Naughty By Nature - OPP

Puff Daddy - It's All About the Benjamins

The Pharcyde - Passin' Me By

There are probably more, but that's all I've noticed. Check out the video and see if you can hear any. (Sorry, seems I can't embed the video.)
