" Total Eclipse On The Decks 2011 "
You know it’s a motherfuckin special day when you get to analyze a new mix by the Brooklyn turntable wrecker, Total Eclipse…
We all know “T.E.” is one of the illest out there…Unfortunately he doesn’t receive the attention that he justly deserves after rocking stages worldwide for quite sometime…
Enough of all the rambling, scoop this one up and get your mind right with a quickness….This is that shit !!!!
" Andre The Giant : Danksgiving "
While we wait patiently for Mugshot Music to drop, A.G. has another trick up his sleeve with the release of Danksgiving…. I’m not really down for celebrating the slaughter of Native American peoples-but “Danksgiving” sounds like something right up my alley..
Put that left-over ham and turkey down for a minute and give this a decent listen…..POW.
" Breakbeat Pressure "
In the early 2000’s I heard a ill live mix session with Mello-D, John Doe, and a cat that I had never heard of before named “4-Eyes”……Ever since then I tried to track down any mix that 4 Eyes was associated with….
Why ?
Take a listen to Sub- Inkflash Volume 3 and you will know why trooper…….Nonstop breakbeat action for all of you non- morning people….
" Ricci Rucker Remixes Re-Post "
Even though HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD has been rocking extra tough for four years – some of you are just discovering how I get down over here, so it’s only right that I repost certain things from time to time….
Back in 2009 I put up a remix project by the mysterious scratch general, Ricci Rucker (I say mysterious because he rarely does interviews)….Anyway, this joint is stacked with insane scratch sentences, way “out there” productions, and all that other fly shit..
Impressive stuff..
HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD’S TOP PICKS…#2,#3, #5, #7, #8, #12,
* Peep out what Ricci had to say regarding this session…
“I made this record in early 2005. At the time, I realized that Hip Hop was less about wordplay, and more about talking to a beat, while at the same time, the backbone of hip hop, lost it’s backbone to the laptop. Skill development is no where to be found.
Hip hop, like politics, only has a handful of flavors, and a group of subscribers of each. Gangster, South, Westcoast, Hipster, Underground, and a few more. This is what’s left, if you don’t fall into this, you are NOT “hip hop”. The artform I fell in love with, changed, very much, and it’s an empty shell.
RRRRAP is an ode to a dying culture, and my last offering to hip hop in a format that is recognize as “hip hop”.

" Constant Deviants : Amongst Friends 2011 "
Many of you wondered if Constant Deviants would finally get around to releasing another full length album…..Well I’m here to inform you that the long wait is over with the release of “Amongst Friends” on Six Two Six Records….

" For Those That Like To Groove, Part 30 "
Within the first five minutes of listening to this I heard a raw ass drum break that I have never heard anyone rock before….

" Killer Priest 2011 "
With so much music constantly coming out- sometimes it hard to sift through all the fluff in order to find the jewels….With that being said, I want to send a shout out to my brother “Mad Miguel” for pointing me in the right direction for this new Killah Priest rocket…
Damn, KP hasn’t lost a step…Check this shit out and don’t forget to boost up the volume levels….

" Blog Shots 57 "
Those cats over at the Vinyl Athletes recently put together some dope T-shirts that deserve your attention……If it’s too cold in your area to rock one right now, maybe you should settle for this book : Hip Hop Vinyl- The Instrumental Version…….
FRESH IS THE WORD..
" Hip Hop Battlefield Reaches 2000 "
Last week HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD hit the 2000 post mark, so I decided to have a personal celebration by flipping through some of my dustier crates and get my blending exercises in order…….
Nothing but that filthy shit banging out the speakers, I even threw a Battlefield remix in there to give you a little extra shock treatment..
Big up to everyone around the globe that checks in on the regular (I SEE YOU)….
Catch a Groove…..

Take a listen….
" Yaggfu Front In The Mix "
If you are a avid HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD reader you already know how dope I think Yaggfu Front are/were….
I say are/were because their were talks of them making a full fledged comeback after the release of the “Secret Tapes” years ago….A couple months back I even posted up some newer material, but after that I haven’t heard any more details of upcoming releases..
That’s unfortunate because the crew always had something unique to bring to the table……I’m not going to go into full detail right now-just take a listen to this mix by Spin 4th and you will hear what time it is for yourself…..

LONG STRETCH Produced by DRANGED&DAMAGE by J Bels Roxwell of YAGGFU
" For Those That Like To Groove, Part 29 "
Damn it’s getting dumb cold outside lately…..Sometimes a brother feels like he is living in Russia instead of sunny Vietnam, California (YA HEARD ME)….
It’s times like these that I pull out some spicy grooves to warm up my attitude…..Earlier today I played a project by Daniel Drumz & Mr.Krime that heated up the set (Music For Night People)…..Good stuff, a nice combination of breaks, scratches, upbeat grooves, and all types of other head nodding shit….
" Lord Superb – Perb Made It Possible "
Awhile back Superb made claims that Ghostface Killah copied his style….Perb even made allegations that he penned lyrics for the Wu – Tang Swordsmen during the Supreme Clientele era (Listen here for further analysis)…..
I can’t even front- they both rock a similar wild style with the wordplay…..Who know’s what the motherfuckin truth is, maybe one day the truth will come to light…
Anyway, Perb dropped the “Perb Made It Possible” mixtape earlier this year…CHECK IN…

A couple of the blends are a little shaky, but he makes up for it with his selection choices……
Nonstop under the radar action ya’ll…..
