" 2012 Breakbeat Action "
The weekend is right around the corner so you know what that means – It’s time to get live motherfuckers.
DJ Pogo (E4CERS) comes correct on his latest mix that features non-stop explosive breaks…..These aren’t your average run of the mill breaks folks, these are the type of joints that will force you to put a little pep in your step…
ROCK ON.
" Top Ranking Don – Re Up’s "
Every once in awhile I will repost something that I feel the HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD readers overlooked….
* Originally posted 12/16/10.
This is a live recording of Cutty Ranks killing shit a couple weeks ago on his west coast invasion tour…..Straight from the boards, no static, no feedback, no nonsense…..I even had a chance to chop it up with the don after the show and crack a couple jokes….
Cutty doesn’t come to the States that often, so this was a monumental evening to say the least….
Pay attention, you might just learn something about live mic wrecking……BOOOOYAAAAKAAAAA SHOT !!!!!!!
" Classic Storm Radio – 1/6/12/ "
Grand Daddy I.U. stopped by DJ Toshi’s “Classic Storm Radio” show to discuss how he linked up with Biz Markie, beef with Treach & Tupac, Cold Chillin Records, new material, etc ……
Don’t sleep…
" Salute "
Happy Born Day to my comrade ” P- Rocker “, A.K.A, MP, Pezo, Mad Planet, 916 Angriest, Jive Turkey, P- Disco, Scot Zu, Slang general, and all that other wild shit….
Damn, brother I’ve know you for a minute now and the jokes just don’t stop cuzzo……
It’s only right that I share one of your most infamous quotes with the HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD readers,
“This Hip Hop shit ain’t for everybody”….HAHAHA…..I couldn’t have said it better myself..
" Tuesday Rockets "
Wow…
I remember hearing this on Live From Headquarters awhile back and I had to rewind it a couple times for maximum effect…”My Thoughts” will most likely be featured on the duo’s upcoming album, “Kolexxxion”..If this is a indication of what they have cooking up – they might have a monster on their hands…
Via- Lost Tapes.
" It’s Extra – P "
The “live guy with glasses” Extra P, checks in with those Ego Trip dudes for a session of breaking down his top ten sample flips of all time….
You might be surprised by a couple of his selections..
" Hip Hop History 101 "
I’m going to put you in a Hip Hop time machine, and place you right in the middle of the Disco Fever in New York City, circa 1986…It’s ten year anniversary time with Run – DMC, Real Roxxane, Sal Abatiello, Mr. Magic, Love Bug Starski, Vandy C, Fat Boys, Red Alert, Whodini, Furious 5, etc..
This is a piece of our history right here that should not be missed….Almost an hour of nonstop action folks..

" For Those That Like To Groove, Part 32 "
Are you guys prepared for some high powered sounds that are bound to melt your ear drums ?
Hopefully you are because this compilation by Vampisoul Records is no joke.
“To understand what this compilation refers to as the ‘Afrosound of Colombia’, you have to acknowledge the profound role of African cultures in Colombian life and music. The story of the Afrosound is a tale of transformation. It tells of the enslaved African peoples who were taken to Colombia, who mixed with Europeans and indigenous inhabitants (by force or choice), and were eventually set free, as well as the escaped cimarrones (maroons) that lived in palenques (fortified settlements) and continued their own traditions. The Afrosound sings of a double Diaspora, first the trek in chains during the infamous Middle Passage from the Motherland of Africa to the so-called New World, then much later, the migration from the plantations to the cities.”
" King Status "
Gotta send a shout out to the spirit and legacy of Martin Luther King…
How many people today are willing to stand up and die for what they believe in ?
When I was growing up I paid more attention to what Malcolm X was yelling, and viewed Martin in a different light due to all the non-violent talk and all that….Now that I have grown and experienced a lot more in life, I realize that we need to pay homage to both of these brothers for putting it on the line in the face of adversity regardless of their ideologies…
Even though it is 2012 and the sixties are long gone – many things remain the same when it comes to bigotry, racism, tricknology, and the prison industrial complex in America….It’s crazy to think that in a country with a black president, race relations haven’t really improved all that much….
Hopefully in the future we can break the chains of Apartheid and learn to respect each others cultures…..I’m not going to hit you over the head with some “WE ARE THE WORLD” type shit, but real changes are in order, don’t you agree..

DRASAR MONUMENTAL.
" Masai Bey + Zest Rock = Fly Material "
Former Def Jux repper Masai Bey hasn’t lost a step when it comes to wrecking mic’s…
On this cut with Zest Rock (Building Goliath) the deadly duo bring some fresh spices to the table…..Take my advice and don’t sleep cousin..
" Hip Hop Treats "
Even though I gave up coffee three months ago, I might have to cop one of these North Star Zulu mugs from my man Daze Roc on general principle….
Instead of coffee, I will put a little Irish Moss in there to start the day off properly..HA.
Anyway, if you want to get a customized Hip Hop mug, or if you want to swoop up some WILD STYLE TECHNICIANS gear,
And when you head over there – tell him that the grimy kid from HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD sent you jack !!!!!!
Peace to all my North Star Zulu brothers and sisters, War Party, G.F.C, Waset Z’s, G.B.K, etc.
" DJ Skizz On Production "
DJ Skizz from Halftime Radio has a project slated for release in 2012 that you should be on the lookout for (B.Q.E.).
I have already posted up some of his newer productions, but here are a couple burners that you might have overlooked…
“Pokerface” featuring Big Noyd……….Yeah, this is that shit.
Pokerface (produced by DJ Skizz) by DJ SKIZZ
“Corner Remix” – Common……..Take a listen to the chops, dude is far from a slouch….I like this version better than the original to be honest.
" Conspiracy Radio – 1/14/12 "
Apollo Brown & O.C. are one of many special guest on the latest broadcast of Conspiracy Radio….They discuss their upcoming album “Trophies”, the current state of Hip Hop, etc…
" Sunday Firepower "
DJ Dee- Ville recently put together a fresh compilation from an English group called “Unanimous Decision” that somehow slipped passed my radar….God damn, I was totally off guard when I gave it a listen last night..
These cats created some very ill material between 1991 – 1993 with heavily layered samples underneath thought provoking, brutally honest lyrics..If your looking for some Hip Hop ammo on this Sunday afternoon – you just found it trooper…
" Diamond D : Diamond Mine Mixtape "
Back in 2005 Diamond – D put out the “Diamond Mine” mixtape that is full of heavy boasting, death threats, and more gun talk than I am used to hearing from him.
D-Squizzy is not the most lyrical M.C., but for some reason I am impressed with hilarious lines like, “I’m a man of few words like pass the smoke / yes no, or don’t if your ass is broke. “
There are so many one-liners that me crack up on this project, that it would take a couple days for me to jot down all the quotables…..HAHA..
