FRESH.
" Download Status "
When I first spotted this remix project a couple years ago, I didn’t give it a chance due to the name, “Small Professor”……I never was a fan of the name Young Guru either (Ya Feel Me)….
For some reason I decided to give it a listen this morning and I was impressed….
It has a very consistent energy from beginning to end….Booming drums, well thought out chops, and a couple surprises here and there..

" Godfather Don Shots "
I read somewhere that Godfather Don is currently in a Jazz band in Brooklyn and that he has no plans on returning to the Hip Hop world….
That’s a damn shame…
Can you imagine what he would sound like in 2011 with all the talent he possessed ?
Peep this Godfather Don mix by a cat named S-Rock if your in the mood for a dose of hardcore ammo…..Over 45 minutes of heavy drums, insane rhyme patterns, BK attitude, etc…
A couple transitions are a little rushed, but this still deserves a listen….
Tracklist:
-insane
-lex lugor
-rabbit stew remix (feat raw breed)
-losers
-style by the gram
-seed of hate
-mc assault
-you know the name (feat hostyle)
-diabolique
-hellofasong
-burn
-fondle em fossils
-life ain’t the same
" Crate Damage, Part 4 "
* In the above pic Dave Jones & myself, live on the air, June 24th at the beautiful University Of British Columbia…..
On my recent trip to Vancouver, Canada I picked up a nice amount of explosive vinyl……I’m not going to share the open drum breaks with ya’ll, but what I will do is hit you off with a couple fresh cuts that will definitely perk your ears up….
Concise – “Fame” featuring DJ Revolution on the cuts….
Double Up Records, Produced by Concise..
Concise usually teams up with Checkmate (Defenders Of The Faith), but he is also known to get busy on the solo tip….His rhymes are on point and he also excels with menacing production on this slept on joint from the early 2000’s…….
Revolution absolutely kills it on the cuts and gives this record an extra boost of seasoning..HAHA..
I also have to add that Concise is from Vancouver…..
CHECK IN……
King Sun & D.Moet – “Mythological”…..
Zakia Records, Produced by Cutmaster DC 1987..
In Ice T’s new book he claims “Mythological” was the inspiration and driving force behind his hit song, “Colors”…….If you play close attention to “Mythological”, it sounds as if Ice-T straight bit the whole shit….
Not just the cadence and flow, but also the drum programming, arrangements, etc……..HAHA……
I’m very surprised I caught this record for a decent price because I heard through the grapevine that it’s worth a pretty penny..HAHA…..I guess I was at the right place at the right time, because I copped it for cheap..
Anyway, give it a listen trooper…..
And this last pic is for my homeboy Sha-Onerz……What you know about this shit fam ? HAHA..
" Monday Morning Mayhem "
All the way from Switzerland comes this mix by a cat named, “Search For Beats”……Under the radar joints, doubles, blends, and all that other fly shit….
Perfect for a little Hip Hop morale boost on this Monday morning……

" 4 All My Fly Kick Rockers "
It’s been awhile since I posted up kicks from the stash….
These Summer scorchers seem to get a reaction whenever I rock them on the boulevard….Adidas Ciero mid-tops, light tan with dark tan highlights, white trim, gum soles, and a splash of grey make these joints extra hardbody…..
Mad comfy as well homeboy…..
POW…
" Friday Action "
Finally got around to watching the Tribe Called Quest documentary last night….You might be surprised to find out that I actually enjoyed it….
They cover a lot of ground….
From their humble beginnings, all the way up to 2011 you get the full picture of what this group was/is all about…..I couldn’t understand why Q-tip didn’t fully support this project, but after checking it out I think I know why…..
In some ways he is portrayed as being a little self-centered and egotistical….It is somewhat difficult to explain, so why don’t you do yourself a favor and watch the entire thing yourself…..
I’m not quite sure how long this link will last before it gets broken…..
Big up to my dude Monz Rock…..
" Cold Crush vs. Fantastic 5 MC’s "
Now you can listen to this legendary battle from 1981 fully remastered and ready to bang……Damn, this is the type of shit that I listen to when I get tired of hearing all these bozos perpetrating like they know how to wreck mics and they don’t have a fuckin clue…
Just because you can crack a couple jokes doesn’t mean you are a battle M.C.
HAHAHAHA……
DO NOT SLEEP……VIA-Old School Hip Hop Tapes…..
" Ernie Paniccioli Drops Jewelry "
* Notice that ill Rhyme Syndicate jacket Ernie is rocking in the above pic….DAMN…
In this day in age many people are afraid to VOICE their opinion when it comes to Hip Hop…..Everyone is trying to be P.C. and pat each other on the back instead of being truthful about the prevalent fuckery taking place right before our eyes…
Some people will even label you a hater if you are a critical thinker when it comes to this art form…..Fuck all the bullshit, I just want to hear the truth….
Ernie Paniccioli recently did a lecture at the Toronto L.I.V.E. festival that is packed with gems……Instead of holding his tongue like so many cowards do, he pulls no punches and gives it to you straight with no apologies….
Turn off your television and pay close attention folks…..
Big shout to my NORTH STAR ZULU brother Sha-Onerz for looking out..
" Scratch Overdose Re-Ups "
* Originally posted February 9th 2010….
Before I post something up I take the time to fully scan things to make sure I don’t hear any of that bullshit….Back in the day you could rely on certain labels and artist to come through with that official dope without even hearing it first…
Things have changed somewhat in today’s musical climate…….Some of my childhood Hip Hop heroes continue to drop the ball in the new millennium by releasing sub-par projects… SAD……So when you come to HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD keep in mind that there is a filtering process that is involved instead of RANDOM, BLIND,THIRSTY posting regardless of who’s name is affiliated with the music…
Most of these blogs out here are on some hyper- music recycling bullshit……How many times are you going to post up the same shit as the next man ?…….It’s plainly obvious that the payola steez is in full effect and certain blogs are receiving some secret paper to promote the next up-and coming BOZO !!!!!!
Nah, fuck all the politicks I’m going to keep it on some heavy “Hip Hop Ethics 101” shit………No dickriding, no nonsense, no copping pleas, no switching it up……..
With that being said you should take time out to peep this scratch session from “Toad Styles”…..Thirty minutes of pure turntable abuse..BLAM,BLAMZ…
* GET YOUR SCRATCH PATTERNS UP !!!!!
" Blog Shots 47 "
While scoping out the excellent “Dirty Waters” blog, I noticed an in-depth interview with Mr. Rap Is Out Of Control himself, DJ Eclipse…..
Usually Eclipse is the one interviewing different artist, it’s nice to read what his opinions are for a change….
Anyways, there is a tremendous amount of fresh material at this blog for you to scoop up…Do not sleep partner…..When you head over there, tell them that grimy brother from HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD sent you kid….
" Brazilian Steam"
Now that I’m a proud father, I can’t play all that hardcore shit while I’m dealing with my son (He is only 10 months old)……As much as I would love to play some early NWA for him to see what his reaction would be, it just doesn’t feel like the right thing to do HAHA..
When he gets older, I will put him in the lab to hear all the hardcore music that influenced his dad throughout the years…
Until then, he gets to hear uplifting jewels like this : Nicola Conte “Viagem 3″……WOW, Brazilian tunes that would even make a cold blooded killer crack a smile and do a little two-step…..
Summer is here trooper, catch a groove and rock on….

" New Shit On Deck "
“The lord is my shepard / and anybody fronting I attack them like a leopard”…..HAHA…
Take a listen to the illest cut on Nine’s new mixtape, “A Big Way”……..Damn, this shit bangs like a motherfucker, unfortunately the rest of the mixtape doesn’t rock heavy production like this…
PEEP HOMEBOY…
" Katalyst : Manipulating Agent "
Just listened to this instrumental project by a cat that goes by the name Katalyst……
Instead of going the usual boring beat tape route, he added some flavor packets into the equation….You will hear heavy drums, scratch sentences, well thought out composition, and a couple surprises….
I would post up the entire project, but some songs are a little too spacy for my taste…….
Here are a couple highlights….
“Break Up”………..Midway through this joint things start really cooking…DONT SLEEP..
“Showtime”…….BREAKBEAT OVERLOAD…
" Drasar Monumental Wrecks The Remix "
My “Weapons” trilogy is complete…..”Wax Weapons”, “Strictly Weapons”, and the Mobb Deep remix project, “Remix Weaponry”…
By putting it out on the blog it helped me release a lot of tension that I had stored up for quite sometime, and organize certain beats that I stored away in the stash…
I think I accomplished my personal goals with those sessions, now it’s time to retire the weapons theme and bring some different drama to the table….
Here is another remix that’s going to set the pace for the new shit I have brewing up…
M.O.P. get the remix facelift this time around (Let It Bang)…..
Fasten your helmet, strap yourself in, and put on your war goggles trooper, it’s about to get creepy on the motherfuckin battlefield..
Also, make sure you listen to this on decent speakers or you won’t hear all the production science popping off….
BLAM,BLAM…..
