" Give The Drummer Some "
Clyde Stubblefield’s “Funky Drummer” break has to be the most sampled piece of music in history….I have heard everyone from Public Enemy to Fine Young Cannibals rock Clyde’s infamous percussion chops…
I could spend days writing about his other musical contributions, but I’m going to save that for a later date….
Peep this mix by the “Scratch Reaction Crew” that features all Funky Drummer samples…It’s a good thing they didn’t include that god-awful Fine Young Cannibals song (HAHA)…

" Battlefield Funk Back On The Set "
Mr. Funk What Ya Heard and I will be going live in the mix tonight…Sorry for the brief hiatus, brothers had to charge their batteries back to full capacity HAHAHA…
We have a special guest tonight that is going to shock the house…So make sure you CHECK THE FUCK IN !!!!!!
You know how we do it over here….Blends, jokes, newness, under the radar rockets, remixes, and of course Hip Hip trivia..We have all types of free stuff to give away from our sponsors, DON’T SNOOZE.
" Beat Tape Shit "
Beat tapes. Beat tapes, say it with me brethren…BEAT TAPES…….Everybody and their momma have a motherfuckin beat tape out kid…With this new influx of beat nerds trying to make noise, it gets harder and harder to sift through the mundane in order to find the golden nuggets…
My only problem with most of these beat tapes, is that many are lacking the explosiveness factor..For real, I find myself snoring through most of these joints..ZZZZZZZZZZZ….Try adding a couple scratches to your project, movie samples, odd segues, unpredidctable sequences and just maybe you will seperate yourself from the rest of the pack…
Anyway, let me get off my high horse and just bless ya’ll with the goods…This beat tape by the M.A.W. (The 1974 E.P.) had it’s moments, here are a couple beats that will make you nod your dome piece….
“Do Something”
“Channel Autumn”
" J-Dilla : Under The Radar "
“Dilla” dropped so much music that it would be impossible to track down everything that he put out…From obscure beat tapes, features, instrumental projects, and collaborations, it seems like he practically lived in the studio…
Here is a joint that you might not be up on by “T-Da Pimp”-Why You Looking Hard ?…”Dilla” produced this heat rock back in 1997…
Oh shit, this sample sounds mad familiar…I’m not quite sure what the original sample source is, but I know for a fact that L.L. Cool J rocked the same sample on a song called “Jealous” from the Walking With A Panther album….
Add this one to your stash box of “Dilla” treats cousin….R.I.P.
" Pro – Am 2010 "
It’s going down in S.F. this weekend party people….If your in the bay area and you know what time it is, you better do the right thing and CHECK IN (Ya heard me)..
Big shout out to Zulu Gremlin for lacing up the posse…See you guys on Saturday….
Get your early bird tickets HERE !!!!!
While your at it-peep this 2010 Pro Am promo…..
" Ed Lover C’mon Son 12 "
Ed Lover is back with some more shenanigans for “C’Mon Son 12″….He takes time out to roast Joe Biden, Mathew Knowles, and a couple other celebs that got caught slipping recently…
He stars off a little slow, but I promise you by mid-way you will be cracking up….
" Donald-D : The Syndicate Sniper "
For some strange reason the “Rhyme Syndicate” have been written out of the Hip Hop history books…CRAZY…How could anyone forget a 50+ plus posse that stretched from east to west, and even Europe with the signing of Hi-Jack ( The first European Hip Hop group signed to an American record label )….
Nat The Cat, Bronx Style Bob, Divine Styler, Everlast (Before he became Whitey Ford HAHAH), Domination (Haven’t Heard Nothing- is one of the best Hip Hop songs ever recorded), Afrika Islam, Spinmasters, Low Profile, S.L.J. (Before he bacame Shafiq of Sa=Ra), Bango, Bilal, Hi-Jack, Tim Story, Toddy T, King-T, Lord Finesse (Remember when he was down with Syndicate management), and of course the Syndicate sniper, “Donald-D” (I know there are more members, but you get the point-the posse was large)…..
They made such a huge impact on me growing up that I should really dedicate a whole entire week to the crew (I will in the near future)…Seeing this example of east-west Zulu Nation unity at an early age, taught me that fly music is not really a regional thing, it could come from virtually anywhere-even Europe..
So when that fake east-west beef popped off in the mid 90’s, I knew better than to participate…Salute to the motherfuckin Rhyme Syndicate- for teaching me what a true BUMRUSH is really all about…
I recently stumbled upon this mixtape by Donald-D (Capitol 1212) that made me put on my best screwface…”D” has made quite a name for himself here and abroad over the years…I’m not sure if he is living back in the States, last I heard he was living the life over in Italy….
Do yourself a favor and scoop this up…This mixtape gets the two thumbs up !!!!!!!!!
" On The Remix Tip "
Seattle beatsmith “Bean-One” has produced for Supernatural, Boom Bap Project, I Self Devine, Source Of Labor, X-Clan, etc…Even though 2010 is barely underway, “B” has already released a couple projects; instrumental album (Short Circuit), collabo album with G.Soulo (Heroes Theme Music), and a remix album that caught me by surprise…
Here are a couple highlights …Decent stuff poppin off, give it a listen cousin…
206 Stand the fuck up !!!!!
Crooklyn Dodgers-“Crooklyn Remix”
Nas-“Second Childhood Remix”
" Dinco-D Sighting "
It’s a shame that the Leaders Of The New School disbanded after releasing only two albums…Although they weren’t my favorite group in those days, I realize now that they were truly ahead of their time (They were all teenagers when they first dropped)..
After Busta Rhymes’s departure, “Charlie Brown”, “Milo”, and “Dinco-D” stayed on the low..Every once in awhile I would hear them collaborate with other artist for singles and whatnot, but I don’t think any of them ever released another full length album.
If you want to hear what Dinco-D sounds like in 2010; peep this session with “Methuzulah” over a classic D.J. Premier beat (Form Of Intellect)…
He still got it…
