" Hell Razah: Heaven Razah "
Wu- Affiliate “Hell Razah”, has built up a solid catalogue of material ever since he embarked on a solo career after leaving Sunz Of Man….
“When All Hell Breaks Loose” (2001), “Freedom Of Speech” (2004), “Renaissance Child” (2007), “Razah’s Ladder” (2007), “Ultra Sounds” (2008), and his newest offering, “Heaven Razah” (2010)……….Not to mention his collabo albums with “Shabbazz”,etc…
He is currently recovering from a brain aneurysm…..All proceeds from “Heaven Razah” are going to his family, so do the right thing and go out and pick up a copy troop……
” The Arrival “- produced by Dev 1…
" Buckwild 2010 "
Hip Hop Dx is on fire right now with the interviews , if you haven’t noticed..
Recently they caught up with Celph Titled and “Buckwild” while they prepared for the release of their upcoming album,”Nineteen Ninety Now”…….
I’m not the biggest fan of Celph, but I have a funny feeling that with “Buck” on the production, they are going to bring some heavy spices to the table….
" Joint Of The Day "
Yeah brother this is more like it…….
This is so smooth, sometimes I wonder why people can no longer come up with such lush production with all the “technology” we currently have access to……
If you are really on top of your Hip Hop knowledge, you can probably call out a couple names that sampled this incredibly fresh piece of music (Action Line)………But I’m not going to say any names over here……
Afro-Harping was arranged by producer Richard Evans and recorded by Dorothy Ashby for Cadet Records in 1968. The rest of this album is impressive as well, go out and cop it…..
“Action Line”

" Ed Lover : C’Mon Son 18 "
ESPN all of the sudden has a “C’Mon Man” segment ……….It’s obvious that someone over there is a Ed Lover fan, because they pretty much stoled his concept….
Anyway, Ed keeps the laughs flowing by throwing Will Smith, T.I., Eddie Long, Bruno Mars, and a couple other suspects completely under the bus…HAHA..
" Milkcrate Jewels 24 "
It has been awhile since I have blessed ya’ll with some “Milkcrate Jewels” steam…….If you are unfamiliar with this segment, this is where I dig into my crates and pull out a couple rockets that deserve more attention….
So buckle up and prepare for heavy turbulence……
This first joint ” Pop The Clutch “-featuring Rescue & Royal Flush, was produced by “D.J. Mass” from the Netherlands……..
I took a risk on buying this record in 2002….Royal Flush always rides beats decent enough, but I was unsure about what kind of beat “Mass” would bring to the table………Nice dramatic keys, crunchy drums, and even a couple scratches….WIN…
Are you ready for number 2 folks ?…………..
“First Day Of Spring”- Mobb Deep featuring Tragedy……
When I caught this little unreleased E.P. from Mobb Deep (Pre-Hell), I knew I had a gem on my hands………This is back when Havok still did the majority of their beats…..
CHECK IN…..
" Hip Hop Battlefield Rants "
Before you even read this post, keep in mind that these are just MY opinions and I don’t expect anyone else out there to think like I do…..
Also keep in mind that I am not one of those shaky Hip Hop dudes…..I have my own convictions that are based on being a dedicated Hip Hop student for the majority of my years on this planet……These convictions are concrete, and they cannot be swayed by anything, or anyone.
So walk with me as I unveil a few things on my radar…..
1..” A Sucker Is Born Every Minute “…………………..
Big Boi/Boy from the Outcast rolled into town recently, and had enough nerve to charge folks fifty dollars a ticket…
ARE YOU SERIOUS ?…….
To be honest, I never liked anything from Outkast and them, so it didn’t ruin my night, but I feel sorry for the weirdo’s who spent that kind of bread on a so-called Hip Hop show..
SUCKERS…….
The only person I would spend that kind of money on for a show would be James Brown, if he was still alive………R.I.P.
Thank god K.R.S. One only charges 20 bucks a show…….
2..” That’s Not Hip Hop, That’s A Fashion Show “…….
I like to get dipped up like everyone else, but some of this shit is ridiculous……..I see some of these dudes rocking all this so-called Hip Hop gear-and they don’t know the first thing about Hip Hop or even care for that matter……
Here is a little message for all you fashionistas out there: Style without substance is what we call, PERPATRATING…….
3..” Turn Off The Motherfuckin Radio “…..
This one is an oldie but goodie…..Shit, I have been yelling that most radio shows are only suitable for robots since the late 90’s…..
The other day I heard an ” Usher ” song that made me feel like I was in the motherfucking twilight zone……” Girl you got a booty like POW,POW,POW, and your boobies are like WOW,WOW,WOW “…..
Get the fuck out of here…….How bad can it get ?
4..” It’s Hip To Be Square- 2010 Edition “……
I can remember a time when Hip Hop dudes were honest…….If they didn’t like your shit, they would look you in the eye and tell you to your face, that your shit is WACK…….
Shiiiiit, if you were on stage yelling that nonsense, you might have even got beat up or hit with an egg or something (I have personally seen it happen)……
Nowadays if you speak out critically about something/someone, you automatically get thrown in the hater box……When cats used to try to diss me when I was a kid- I used that for motivation to step my skill levels up…
We need critical thinkers in Hip Hop to assure that it’s practitioners stay on their toes, at all times…..
5..” Thirsty Bloggers, Part 2 “……
I’m a part-time blogger, full-time Hip Hopper…HAHA……I know that sounded corny….
Some of these dudes are part-time Hip Hoppers, but full-time bloggers……….They never go to jams, they never put out mixtapes-only compilations, and for some reason they only post up shit that everyone else has posted up…..
Just to keep a balance- I post up things from my personal record collection, my own mixes, and I have been known to get busy on the remix side of things…HAHA..
Remember when there was no internet, and you relied on word of mouth, jams, record stores, radio, The Source, Rap Pages, Word Up, and your local crews to provide you with your doses of Hip Hop ?
I must admit that I am thankful for all of the musical access I have at my fingertips, but I am slowly getting irritated by thirsty bloggers, payola rap, and cornball dick riders !!!!!!
YA FEEL ME…….
I’m going to stop all the ranting and raving for now (No one cares anyway)………….Be on the lookout for more post in the morning….BLAM.
" For All The Wu- Headz, Part 11 "
WOW…..
Those Rocksmith dudes keep the flames burning with this limited edition, Ghostface Killa, Wu-Brand jump off …….
If you want to add this to your stash box of goodies, you can cop it right here troop….
" Revenge Of The Killer Demos, Part 8 "
Out of all the groups that producer “Ski” has worked with, “Camp Lo” sounded the best over his production….
Original Flavor, Currensy, Mos Def, and even a younger Jay Z couldn’t match the chemistry of when Camp Lo & Ski get together in the lab…..
I’m not quite sure what the fuck those brothers are talking about half the time, and that’s why I appreciate what they bring to the table….They have their own slang…They have their own wordplay….They basically have created their own lane that is virtually impossible to recreate or bite….
I don’t think they get enough credit for being completely original……
Here are a couple demos that you might not have heard before…..ENJOY..
“Bubblin”-Demo..
“Kooley High”-Demo..
“Feeling It”-Demo…..Jay Z ended up using this beat on “Reasonable Doubt”………Like this version better HAHAHA….
Stussy x Undefeated x Fruition, “Camp-Lo” shirt available at Stussy Las Vegas….
" Beat Nuts Remix Rampage "
While searching on the net for the Beat Nuts remix of “Shady Business” by PMD, I stumbled onto this compilation of Beat Nuts remixes assembled by those dudes over at the “Cold Rock The Spot” blog…..
Good stuff poppin off on this one, even a couple heaters that I have never heard before….Be on the lookout for Beat Nuts upcoming album ,”Planet Of The Crates” later on this year…

Take a listen troop…
" Roc Raida L.A. Tribute "
If you your in the L.A. area, you know what time it is….
All proceeds go to Roc Raida’s family…YA HEARD !!!!
R.I.P.
" New Motion Man Shit- Adult Situations "
One thing that you can say about Motion Man”, is that there is no father to his style…..NO ONE sounds remotely close to Motion. I guess you can call him the west coast answer to Sadat X, but that’s not even a accurate description…
The “Masters Of Illusion” album with Kool Keith & Kutmaster Kurt, is still in constant rotation for me..Some of the most hilarious shit I have ever heard in my life….GO BACK AND TAKE A LISTEN…..
Anyway, on his newest offering,” Adult Situations”, Motion Man continues on his bizarre ride of non-stop illness…..
” Pouring You More Champagne “……Produced by Unagi & Jethroe…..DOPE….
" Budos Band On The Beat Breaks "
You gotta give props to the “Budos Band”, for keeping their brand of funk raw and uncut…Instead of adopting a slick and overproduced type of sound, they keep it a little rough around the edges….
Over the last two years,”BB” has performed at over 150 live gigs, and you can hear that their chemistry and creative juices are flowing at a all-time high on their newest album ,”Budos Band 3″…
FLAMES……..
” Black Venom “…………..This is just nasty….Straight up and down..(NO HOMO)……HAHA.
” Golden Dunes “……WOW..
