Damn it’s hot.
So Thursday is battling the rest of the week for the “Most Crackulatin’” award. Here we go: 1. Smokin’ Grooves is back from the dead with Lauryn Hill (and her guitar), The Roots (applause), Outkast (oh shit!), Cee-Lo (y’all ain’t ready), Truth Hurts (we’ll see about this one), Jurassic 5, (naaaah), Black Lily (ooh la la, that means Jag!) and big ?uestlove on the wheels of steel. Thu., Aug. 1, Tweeter Center, 1 Harbour Blvd., www.electricfactory.com, 6 p.m., $45, $29.50 lawn.
2. Another knockin' Squarebiz afterparty with DJs Jazzy Jeff, Cut Chemist, Nu-Mark and ?uestlove. Katmandu, 417 Delaware Ave., squarebizdishes@aol.com for guest list, $8, $5 with concert stub, 9 p.m.-2 a.m., 215-629-7400.
3. It's the third annual Urban Legends Award, honoring WDAS' Butterball, Malika Love, Cosmic Kev, DJ Tat Money, Disco Rat, Sex Machine, B-Force, Parry P and Tony Brown. Lady B hosts with DJs Cash Money and Kid Swift hitting the decks. Brave New World, 720 Arch St., 7 p.m.-11 a.m., $10, 215-413-4000.
4. DJs Cosmo and LowBudget spin it up at Saint Jack's for the debut of Budget's new weekly, The Hit. Join them as they spin an eclectic mix of party joints. Saint Jack's, 45 S. Third St., 215-238-9353, 10 p.m.-2 a.m., free!
Now if Thursday wasn't crunk enough for y'all, here's to the sixth day of the week -- ahh, we've got Saturday night fever as Arrakis Records hits you for the umpteenth time with a sizzling show. J-Zone takes over Silk City with the Arrakis squadron: Kenneth Masters, Uncle T, Briz, Adam12, Digs DarkLighter and DJ LowBudget on the ones and twos. Sat., Aug. 3, Silk City, Fifth and Spring Garden sts., www.arrakisrecords.com, 9 p.m.-2 a.m, $10.
"And after the show it's the afterparty. And after the afterparty it's the hotel lobby" -- wait, nope, it's just the afterparty at Aqualounge as The Body Rock crew take their monthly a step further -- to bimonthly (again on Aug. 17, every first and third Saturday). That's DJ Lil' Dave and the Ill Vibe Collective rotating, cutting, scratching and behind-the-backin' funk, classics, hip-hop and cultcha! Sat., Aug. 3, Aqualounge, 323 W. Girard Ave., www.illvibe.net, 10 p.m.-2 a.m., $5. P.S.: Stop by the DJ booth and ask Dave how he came to be "the baby's father of funk."
Tired yet? Don't be. Make sure to stop by Frequency and see how the locals get down. DJ Phillee Blunt manhandles the decks while Paradox, Ebony & I-be and Canvas -- a 10-piece band jam the night away. Tue., Aug. 6, Soul Sanctuary, 722 Arch St., phillyfrequency@yahoo.com, 9 p.m.-2 a.m.
Now Dr. Fun advises all partygoers, music lovers and wanna-be-seen-and-hearders to get some rest. Next week promises more of the same. Go to bed -- but not before you call The Beat, Q and Power and let 'em know how much they suck right now.
