BEST GUIDE TO HIP HOP EVENTS, SHOWS & CONCERTS x SOCIAL NETWORK
Pam the Funkstress
When
you think about “Heat”, the San Francisco Bay Area is a not the
first place that comes to mind. But when you think “DJ heat” the
“Yay Area” is exactly where to find it. And it lays claim as home
to one of the nations most recognized female DJs, Pam the
Funkstress. As one of the true pioneers of all female DJs, the Hip
Hop community has embraced the Funkstress for more than a decade
not only as a club DJ but as a performing artist. She busted out on
the recording scene as a member of The Coup
in 1993 with their debut album “Kill My Landlord”. Filling a
political underground void, the East Oakland based Coup, earned
critical acclaim by following up with
“Genocide and Juice” (1994), and
“Steal this Album” (1998). But it has been her commitment to
the underground, DJs, and the music they embrace that has kept her
fans scouring record stores and trade publications to get the
latest cuts and dirt on their favorite DJ. To call Pam the
Funkstress a DJ/Recording Artist would be negligent. She is an
advocate for female independence and the pursuit of civil rights.
College campuses frequently invited her to speak at symposiums and
on panels to spread her message of success by self-reliance to the
next generation. The Funkstress has been featured in music
publications such as Rolling Stone Magazine, 4080, Rap Pages, Ms.,
Fader and Wired just to name a few. As well as news feeds toped by
a CNN
story concerning a controversial album cover for the 2001
release of
“Party Music”. Known for cuttin’ the wax with more than just
her hands, she has been asked to grace the opening stage for the
elite in Rap music. From KRS-One to Grandmaster
Flash to Sean “Puffy” Combs in Europe, Pam the Funkstress has
answered the call of duty to get the crowd fired up. And corporate
America also got fired up when Sony Entertainment brought P Dub
into the studio to lay down some cuts on soundtracks for upcoming
PS 2 games. Not to be out done SoBe Beverages featured the
Funkstress and the Coup among others at the 2002 SoBe Adrenaline
Tour, blasting off a nation wide marketing Champaign for their new
energy drink Adrenaline. From East to West, from studio to stage,
Pam the Funkstress lights up the tables and always leaves the party
smokin’. And where there’s smoke, there’s fire. And where there’s
fire, there’s…HEAT!!!MYSPACE:
