THOUGHTS ON THE ALBUM-
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”.

" Hip Hop Battlefield Remix Series "
I flipped this remix back in July of 08….It rocks one of my more simplistic styles of production but very menacing nevertheless..Sometimes less is more..
The vocals are from a Wu – Tang affiliated outfit ( Ruthless Bastards ), expect large amounts of boulevard monster rap..

Live blends by ” Mr Funk What Ya Heard ” and myself……DO NOT SNOOZE..
" Js-1 Drops Jewels "
Had no idea ” Js-1 ” was this funny…For real, he is crazy comical in this clip…
Prepare to hear a man speak what everybody is thinking but too shook to address..Whatever happened to motherfuckers speaking the truth in Hip Hop ? ..
Shouts to HHG..
" Chef Files Mix "
September is right around the corner cousin, so you all know what that means….The release of the highly anticipated ” Purple Tape pt2 “…..
Everyone and their mama is waiting to see if your favorite Chef can still cook up that marvelous shit…With Raekwon approaching 40, ( He is now 39 years young ) I am eager to hear if that hunger is still there….
This dope mixtape by ” Omega N.Y.C. ” should hold you over until the ” OBFQL 2 ” season officially starts….POW..
" New Havoc Mixtape "
I looked in my inbox this morning and stumbled across a new mixtape by ” Havoc ” ( From Now On )….Haven’t even had the chance to listen to it yet, but I’m going to post up this shit anyway ……
Hopefully ” Hollywood Hav ” comes through in the clutch, because his last solo joint was a little shaky to say the least..Regardless,
the Mobb are one of the most consistent groups in Hip Hop with a catalogue that is straight up ridiculous…
Peep the mixtape and I will write up a review after I get a chance to meditate on it…
" Kaotic Style "
Nervous / Wreck records had a ill roster in the early 90’s, ” Black Moon “, ” Strictly Roots “, ” Smiff N Wesson “, ” Funk Flex “, ” Brooklyn Slumlords “, and Brownsville Brooklyn’s ” Kaotic Style “…..
” KS ” released a couple singles, and the highly sought after ” Diamonds In The Ruff E.P. “…..Angry gun clap rap is their forte, with a splash of Onyx, and another Brownsville outfit M.O.P.
Check out these rowdy hardcore bangers…

" Beat Tape Shit "
All the way from Germany by way of Tokyo, comes this beat tape courtesy of ” Samon Kawamura “…..It’s on the smoothed out tip without sounding neo- soulish….( I just made up a brand new word HaHa )…
His style is hard to pin down..Jazz inspired composition with a down tempo twist….This is what he had to say regarding this project ( Translations )….
“I dislike art that elevates itself above reality”, says Samon Kawamura. “When I make music I try to be honest most of all. There is just no other way for me.”…..Say word…
" The Great Dot X "
When it comes to rhyming , you got to give it up to ” Sadat X ” for being the father to his own style….No one even sounds remotely close to him…Unique voice, unorthodox patterns, and a off- kilter sense of humor help him stand out in a world of un-original M.C.’s…
As soon as he spits a couple lines you automatically know it’s him without question…On this rare cut ( Flip Styles ), ” X ” blesses us with more of his unpredictable wordplay….Produced by “Diamond D “…
" Blog Shots 22 "
Bay area graff legend , ” Crayone ” has a blog that you should peep next time your cyber – surfing…No games are being played, just heavy doses of style….
When you head over there make sure you tell em that kid from HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD sent you jack !!!!!!!!
Thank you ” Cray ” for hitting me off with one of those ill silver and black joints….Z’s up..
" Hardcore Hip Hop Will Never Die, Part 2 "
Are you a 90’s type of Hip Hop head that is tired of hearing ” Funky Child “, ” Once Again “, ” Take It E.Z. “over and over again ? You see I love those joints but there is plenty 90’s records that get absolutely no burn….
For instance this compilation by ” D.J. Isako ” rocks a heavy roster with names like, ” Art Of Origin ” ( Chino X.L’s first group ), ” Fort Green Assassins “, ” Now Born Click “, ” 4 Izza Crew “, etc….
Some of these songs have aged very well, check in for yourself cousin….HARDCORE HIP HOP WILL NEVER DIE AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
