PEEP.
" Salute To Big Pun "
The first time I heard ” Big Pun ” was on that Funk Master Flex volume one mixtape…..I couldn’t believe what the fuck I was hearing straight up and down…
He had the ” Kool G.Rap ” multi-syllable attack down pat, but he threw a different type of twist on it unlike the majority of “G-
Rap ” clones out there…And when ” I’m Not A Player ” dropped (produced by Money Boss Player- Minnesota) I was convinced that Pun was going to shake things up…
Unfortunately ” Pun ” never had the chance to watch his career blossom into the legendary status that it is today…Can you imagine how fucking ill he would sound in 2010….WOW…
It’s been ten years since ” Pun ” passed and it would be impossible to fill the void he left…
Christopher Rios you are missed..
Here is a clip of Pun’s first ever radio appearance on the ” Stretch & Bobbito’s ” show August 31st, 1995…God damn this is just ridiculous ya’ll….Pun really blacks out on this one….
This what Bobbito had to say about this particular recording…..
“In ‘95, Fat Joe brought up Armeggedon, Keith Nut, and Big Dog The Punisher to freestyle on me and Stretch’s show. After the session, I thought in my head, “That dude Big Dog killed it!” That was the first time anyone ever heard him live, and perhaps the first time anyone ever heard of him period as he was unsigned and had never appeared on any of Fat Joe’s records yet. Two years later he was on Loud Records with a big hit “Not A Player” and went multi-plat, etc. Cool story and good memory. He had a very tough image to the public, but around me, Stretch, and Sear, who are all clowns, Pun was a bug out, liked to snap and joke around just like anyone else.”
Peace to DW…
" On My B-Boy Shit, Part 5 "
At last years “Mighty 4”, I was very impressed with Massive Monkey’s “D.J. Bles”…..He came equipped with some crazy heavy drum breaks during his set that put me in a B- Boy trance…
On this mix ( Soul Walk ) ” Bles ” straight wrecks shit….This isn’t your average break mix with run of the mill joints you have heard a million times JACK !!!!!
Salute to all my peoples in the 206….
" D.J. Premier Is Still Killing The Beats "
PPPPPREMIERPPPPPPREMIER- Is still smashing the set in 2010…On this new cut with Joell Ortiz ( Project Boy ) ” Preem ” goes in for the kill with some truly dramatic production…
These are the type of beats that give me an immediate ice grill….
I have never really checked for the kid Ortiz…I’m not going to even front, he never grabbed my attention from the joints I heard him on…If he rocks on beats like these in the future, it will force me to stay on alert…
THIS IS THAT SHIT…
And while your at it, you might as well cop Preem’s ” Live At The HeadQuarters ” radio show from last week…..Here is the links
enjoy….

” Sam ” chops it up about that good old fashioned baby mama drama…TAKE HEED.
Spotted at Spine Magazine-
" New Shit On Deck "
9th Wonder just dropped this project last night ( 9th Wonder Invented The Remix Again ) and I highly suggest you swoop this up with a quickness…
Sometimes his beats get a little repetitive, but all in all ” 9th ” has blessed us with some firepower over the years…Also be on the lookout for a new ” Little Brother ” album in the near future…
" True Life Stories: Flavor Flav Edition-Re-Up "
It’s 1994 and I am high as a kite on some stress weed and a warm St.Ides 40 oz…….Tonight Public Enemy, The Fugees, and The Goats [remember those dudes} are performing………..Me and my crew are broke, pockets are looking shabby as fuck, but here we are……..Were chillin in the club parking lot and out comes “Wyclef”. I’m not really a ” Fugees ” fan, matter of fact we were there to see if we could see ” P.E.”……..
” Clef ” hits us up for some trees to blaze, we smoke, we crack jokes, and we end up starting a cypher right there…………No Lie………We hit Wyclef with our most brutal rhymes, punchlines, battle darts, multi syllable shit, the works…….Wyclef is stunned, Wyclef is caught off guard, Wyclef just got took out ya’ll………
Anyway he is so impressed he let’s us in the show for free……………..
The Fugees take a break during their set and invite mc’s up to the stage…….We bumrush the stage…….A couple kids try to rhyme, they wack…….I hop up there, tell the band to stop…..I wanna flip this shit acapella………
“Mayday,mayday,/ I lay more bodies to rest than Richard Ramirez in his heyday….”Don’t even bother, to step to this saga/ or you’ll end up like Michael Jordans father” OUCH….
The packed crowd is going crazy…I’m really rocking this shit….Lauryn is watching me, she’s bobbing her head…I’m killing it………….Next thing you know Flavor Flav is on stage, in my face, yelling at the top of his lungs……”Fuck you, I know Michael Jordan, ya’ll niggers are over”……..He is in my face, the crowd is screaming, I want to knock Flavor Flav the fuck out, I was a teenager at the time, and he was probably in his late 30’s- early 40’s but I still wanted to put him in a yoke..
I love P.E., they are one of my favorite groups, but I gotta knock Flav the fuck out {Imagine that}…..I look past Flav’s shoulder and I spot the S1W ‘s {Deep}………..I am not knockin anyone out, time to part this crowd like the red sea, and get the hell outta here……………………Flavor Flav sonned me, and 16 years later I kinda regret not beating him down….TRUE STORY..
" Live As It Gets: Featuring Del The Funky Homosapien "
Truth be told, ” Del ” deserves more shines for his contribution to this thing we call Hip Hop…I wasn’t really feeling that “Gorillaz” shit, or that “Deltron” project with the Automator all that much, but he has plenty other releases that I give the thumbs up..
I Wish My Brother George Was Here, Future Development, Catch A Bad One, and some of his newer work properly showcase his off-kilter approach to crafting songs ….He is a true original….Who and the fuck sounds like ” Del ” ?..
Exactly…..No one…And contrary to popular belief, originality will always prevail over your average copy-cat type of M.C.’s…( I will write more about that in my book, stay tuned HAHAH )…
Anyway, here is a live performance by “D” back in 2002…Over an hour of Hiero goodies..
* My favorite quote—–“Give it up for Jam Master J, if ya’ll don’t give it up for Jam Master Jay I’m walking off this fucking stage right now”…….
I hear ya my brother !!!!!!!!!!!!!

You already know what is; Queensbridge boulevard bully rap….CHECK IN..

They don’t call ” Muro ” the king of diggin for nothng motherfuckaaaaa….This time around ” Muro ” invades the vaults of the prestigious ” Stax ” record label..
