About Kurtis Blow (www.kurtisblow.net):
Kurtis Blow cemented his iconic status in Hip Hop by being the first hip hop artist to sign with a major record label. His major label debut in 1980 "The Breaks" was the first certified gold hip hop record and he was the first hip hop artist to tour nationally and internationally. In addition to this, he collaborated with and wrote songs for a variety of successful artists including the Fat Boys and Run DMC. These accomplishments helped pave the way for hip hop to grow from a youth movement in Harlem in the late 70s to the mainstream American musical sphere in the early 80s.

These days Kurtis Blow is busier than ever. Read the rest of this entry »

Her multifaceted career has also covered a wide range of high-profile detours along the way: Read the rest of this entry »

The Blazers are back on the road after two great home wins against the Houston Rocket and Utah Jazz. Their first stop on the trip is Dallas, where they will face the Mavericks tonight.

The Mavericks will be without Dirk Nowitzki (knee, day-to-day) and Caron Butler (knee, out for the season) tonight. The loss of Nowitzki and Butler puts DeShawn Stevenson and Jason Terry into the starting lineup. Terry, a perennial sixth man candidate, used to be the Mavericks' spark off the bench.

The Mavericks on paper:
Starting five: Shawn Marion, DeShawn Stevenson, Tyson Chandler, Jason Kidd, Jason Terry
Off the bench: Brian Cardinal, Brendan Haywood, Jose Juan Barea, Dominique Jones

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
Joel Pryzbilla is expected Read the rest of this entry »
