” Strictly Hardcore Week : 5 “
Based off of a couple show stealing features on EPMD’s “Business As Usual”, people were fiending to hear a Redman debut album…It wasn’t quite “ILLMATIC” expectations but I do recall the anticipation level and the buzz around “Whut? Thee Album” being extremely high at the time…..
FFWD to the new millennium – I still believe REDMAN can rhyme with the best of em – my only problem is that his ear for beats has been questionable for quite sometime, but out of nowhere in 2005 he dropped an atom bomb with the release of the “GILLA HOUSE CHECK” 12 inch….Not sure who produced this joint (it’s not listed on the wax that I have) but they kept it raw which fits REDMAN’s style perfectly…..
” Strictly Hardcore Week : 4 “
Even though ROZEWOOD flows over an esoteric / heavenly backdrop on “Niggas To Gods”, don’t mistake this tune for not being hardcore with lines like – “You have not a clue what they do to our babies / say its for the flu, won’t be surprised if it was rabies”….”Same enemies that created crack babies / took our names and our gods when they enslaved me”…
Produced by Bozack Morris…
” Strictly Hardcore Week : 3 “
I’m going to splash you with some dangerous frequencies that you won’t find ANYWHERE else on the internet….“Silverhawk” on the dubplate tip rocking strictly NINJAMAN & SHABBA RANKS…..This is not that happy go lucky dancehall shit – this is that certified rudeboy flamethrower special flying at your grill…..
Put on your best screwface and prepare for more pressure !!!
” Strictly Hardcore Week : 2 “
When it comes to hardcore GODFATHER DON created his own lane….On “Tribute To Godfather Don” French DJ THE WORST lets loose a barrage of GD joints that deserve repeated listening…..

” Strictly Hardcore Week : 1 “
HARDCORE-
Relentless, uncompromising, unapologetic, abrasive, loud, aggressive, bold, are just a few words that describe a certain frequency of Hip Hop that has captivated my attention for the majority of my existence……A common misconception is that you have to talk about guns or jail house stories in order to be classified as hardcore in the Hip Hop world – which is untrue in my opinion…..
This week I will bless you with strictly hardcore joints new and old….So walk with me as I kick up dust, grime, and all that other filthy shit….First up to bat is this mix by SECRET WEAPON DAVE that rocks all types of rare Baltimore / Bodymore 12 inches…..

” Strictly Hardcore Mix : Re-ups “
* Posted up this mix mid February, but since next week will be a “strictly hardcore” affair I might as well get your ear drums prepared for severe turbulence..
-This is what Mr.Crate Killer (Drasar Monumental) had to say about the recent mix he rocked for us at VVHQ-
“I was recently summoned by the wild dudes over at VENDETTA VINYL headquarters for some 2016 hardcore turntable action…..Lately I have been so entrenched in the production side of things, it was nice to assemble a dangerous set of grimy selections, remixes, blends, doubles, twist and turns and all that other explosive shit….
The tracklist alone should motivate you to download this session – but their are some tracks that were not mentioned because they were only used as spices and extended layering, so don’t snooze….
Anyway, big shout out to everyone that respects the wreck, it is appreciated to the fullest….Turn the volume past ten, strap on your collision helmets, and prepare for another round of severe pressure on your ear drums duke…
Feel free to spread around”-

” 45’s On Deck “
If you need some more 45 morale in your life, give this Saturday Night Waffle mix by DJ PRESTIGE some decent burn….
“Here is another mix from the archives that was lost in the black hole of divshare. This one is from April 2007, not too long after we started FMF. It’s an all 45 Mix of gems from digging in the field and a few donuts we got from TTL back in the day. I must have been on some kind of quick mix fix, because some songs are cut short. I had all but forgotten about the intro that I had chopped up to talk about New Jersey. The mix has had a few different design covers along the way, so I thought I’d breathe some life in it with this one. Hard to believe that this mix is almost ten years old. A few of these records still get regular spins on my 45 nights, they are that good. Enjoy and pass on to a friend if you dig”.

The Boys In the Band – Sumpin Heavy/ Spring
The Mohawks – Pepsi/ Sir JJ

” Summer Heaters “
When it comes to kicks I went into semi-retirement after my sun / son JAHMEL was born five years ago, but I have to admit, these NEW BALANCE joints made me want to hop back on the field….If your thinking along the same lines CHECK IN…..
“After dropping the “Roadblock” and “Cobra Commander” collaborations, BAIT has revisited the G.I. Joe franchise for the New Balance MT 580 “Arashikage” pack. Paying homage to the ninja clan’s two most revered members, Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow, the pack features two MT 580 silhouettes appropriately named after each character. The MT 580 “Storm Shadow” is done up in a lush, off-white suede upper, with heat-debossed tonal branding and a gradient effect on the midsole to depict blood spray. The “Snake Eyes” uses a combination ripstop nylon, wolverine suede and box leather upper, with Arashikage Red implemented across stitching, on the lace lock, and midsole RollBar”.
” Joint Of The Day “
I can’t even front, this new blazer with BIG TWINZ & RAS KASS “Bobby Flay” is the rawest shit I have heard in a few weeks…..Matter of fact, this is the best beat that I have ever heard from TWIZ THE BEAT PRO……PERIOD…
And while your at it – I highly recommend checking out this recent interview with BIG TWINZ & those DROP A GEM ON EM dudes….He goes into detail about all types of shit that will grab your attention..
” Sam Hill : Equinox “
Usually when I hear producers flip joints that have already been rocked, I dock them a couple points right from the gate – but for some reason this DIVINE DRUMMAH chop sounds fresh with SAM HILL & AKBAR launching bars all over the place…
