" New Billy Danze "
I heard this same beat on ” Showbiz And A.G’s ” latest album ( Experience )….A.G. sounded good on it, but Bill sounds crazy on this joint ( Savages )….I’m suprised I haven’t seen this posted up everywhere in cyberspace…
Do yourself a favor and swoop this one up duke….CLACK,CLACK, SALUTE…
" M.F. DOOM VS. PERCEE P "
There is a rhyme that M.C. Ren flipped on the ” Kiss My Black Ass ” ( E.P. ), that always stood out to me….It goes a little something like this folks….
” Fuck all those niggas with live instruments on the stage / save that shit for parades..And while your at it why don’t you dress like a clown / and draw yourself a permanent frown…Rappers back in the days didn’t have band’s in the blueprints / cause it wouldn’t make sense……Niggas doing this should retire / niggas looking like Earth ,Wind and Fire…”
On the surface this rhyme might appear to be some simple minded shit to some, but in actuality ” Ren ” is dropping some heavy science here ( I will elaborate a little bit more in upcoming post HAHAHAH )…
And for the most part I agree with his theory…I would rather hear dusty samples being wrecked than hearing m.c’s get loose over live instruments any day of the week..
But ” The Roots”, ” El Michels Affair ” and several other bands would get my vote if I was to travel in the “LIVE HIP HOP BAND ” category….The United Kingdom’s ” Heliocentrics ” are another band that deserve some credit….
Check out the song they did with ” M.F. Doom and ” Percee P ” ( Distant Star )…
And while your at it peep the collabo they did with ” Guilty Simpson ” ( Before I Die )…..It has one of the illest intros I have heard in a long time…LISTEN UP….

" Remix Weaponry : E- Rule Edition "
It’s remix time again people…This week I decided to get a little dramatic with the production…
The original sample source is from a 1940’s gangster soundtrack record ( which will remain nameless )…It was unbelievably difficult to tear apart all of these tiny bits of sound and put them back together again, but eventually I blacked out and got in my machete chop zone…HAHAHA..
One of the freshest cats from the west coast, ” E – Rule ” finesses the vocals ( One Rule )…Listen carefully to the lyrics because ” E ” straight up wrecks shit…Original wordplay, nasty flow, and unpredictable rhyme schemes indeed………Enjoy…
" Message To All You Tight Jean Wearing Weirdos "
Craig G is back with a dedication to all those fashionistas, who rock their pants so tight that you would think they were on some ballet shit..
” Skinny Jean Funeral ” is bound to ignite extreme laughter from coast to coast..YOU BETTER CHECK IN..
" Brazilian Funk Mode "
I can’t even front,I didn’t know of the great Brazilian outfit ( Azymuth ) until ” Madlib ” recorded a album with their drummer Ivan Conti…
On a recent digging mission in Vancouver Canada, the homie Dave Jones put me up on some of their material..I was truly blown away by what I heard, and vowed to cop every piece of wax I could find that bore their name.
Azymuth is a three piece band from Rio De Janeiro and the other two members are Alex Malheiros ( Bass, guitars ), and Jose Roberto Bertrami ( Keyboards )… They formed in 1972 and continue to record and tour to this day…
With over 20 albums under their belt, it’s hard to believe more people in the states are unaware of them..
Here are a couple of my favorite cuts from the 1975 album..If this doesn’t help jump start your Monday, you might need to get your funk bone checked out cousin…Enjoy..

" The Metal Advocate : Buc Fifty "
Buc Fifty has the uncanny ability to lace his rhymes with plenty of violence, but somehow remain comedic at the same time…When some cats try to pull off the roughneck approach, they sound like they are REACHING a little too much…With Buc, it’s sounds natural and true to life..
In 2005 he dropped the ” Rethuglican ” album ( Produced entirely by J Swift ) which had it’s moments…Peep for yourself…

" Milkcrate Jewels 19 "
In 1992 the New Rochelle crew, ” The Future Sound ” put out a album entitled ” The Whole Shabang ” on Atlantic Records..This cut ” Star Struck ” was a diss record aimed at Brand Nubian ( They responded with Punks Jump Up To Get Beat Down )…
” When The Ends Meet ” – ( Life Of A Futuristic B Boy ) takes me back to a time when ” Native Tongues ” were really bubblin, ” Das EFX’s ” style was being copied by everyone, and the L. A. riots had motherfuckers shook…
Even with Dame Dash as their manager, ” FTS ” only put out one album..Dame went on to managing ” Jay Z ” and the rest is history
folks…I wonder if there is any ” FTS ” lost tapes floating around ?

When it comes to that raw, gritty production steez, you would be hard – pressed to find a filthier outfit than the ” Beat Minerz “..
While many producers have abandon their roots and hopped on to the next bandwagon,BM have consistently churned out dirty beats and kept their sample based foundation intact..Salute..
They also have a website that features mixes, upcoming projects, and all that good shit..So do yourself a favor and head over to their spot..And tell em that kid from Hip Hop Battlefield sent you JACK…
" New Phil Most Break Mix "
The big homie, ” Phil Most ” just came back on the set with a new burner for all you cyber beat maniacs out there..It’s good to hear some new flavor from this Philly, crate digging, chief rocker ( CHECK THE INTERVIEW I DID WITH HIM HERE KID )…
Phil comes from left field this time around and blesses us with a gang of rock breaks..When it comes to obsurity, he goes all out..Many of these joints are as rare as they come..
Good work Phil, keep em coming homeboy…And by the way, I told you the Lakers were going to smash up everybody..Kobe is King..
