” Friday Night Live “
In my opinion it’s almost impossible to ruin the sample source that Omniscence rocked on this joint (It’s not the most obscure record, but exposing samples is not my thing)….In the late 90’s DON SCAVONE rocked over the same loop on “Sketchy Situations”, but to be honest I think Omniscence’s version gets the championship belt….
If your looking for some sure shot single shit to bang in the system this Friday night, you just found it troopers (My Main Man)…
*My only complaint is the off-kilter sanging /singing towards the end of the track HAHAHA..
” Delta : Diggin For A Living “
Finally got around to listening to this strictly Australian mix by Delta (Digging For A Living)…

If this missed your radar when it first dropped nearly a month ago, I highly suggest swooping it up with a quickness..Be on the lookout for the new DELTA & DANNY DANN THE BEATMAN mixtape in the very near future…
“It was damn near impossible to choose what records to use on this because Australia has some truly CRAZY Music, so I’ve decided to make this the first instalment with more to come in the future. This goes out to everybody who loves vinyl”. – Delta

” Joint Of The Day Steez “
“The DJ” by LONE CATALYST (JRawls & J Sands) gets the top ranking spot for the day…
WOW.

” Cratery #33 “
MOSS is so criminally slept on that it’s ridiculous….At one point in time it appeared as if his affiliation with DJ Premiers YEAR AROUND label would boost him to new heights, but I haven’t heard much from him as of late (Unfortunately)…
On episode 33 of Cratery with ARCEE, SERIOUS, and KAEWONDER – MOSS pulls out some vinyl treats to rock out with..
“Most of you know MoSS as a producer of quality rap music for artists like Obie Trice, Black Moon, Sean Price, Joell Ortiz, Kool G Rap, Big Shug, Eternia and many others. Some of you might even know that he’s the lone producer signed to DJ Premier’s Works of Mart imprint. Even less of you might know that he accomplished all of this from his home in Brampton, Ontario. What you might not know is MoSS is one of the most savage record nerds on the planet, supplier of rhythms to your favourite collectors and proprietor of 2 record labels (Fading Sunshine and Strawberry Rain), both dedicated to obscure, forgotten foreign psychedelic treasures. He joins us this month for a double header of fuzzed-out greatness, Cratery style.
Session A crosses psychedelic borders from all over the world – Italy, Germany, Singapore, France and of course, right here – Canada. Standout tracks include the Ngozi Family’s “House of Fear” – a supremely rare Zambian psych selection and the UNLISTED starter joint. Don’t sweat the UNLISTED tracks. We know what they’re called and we’re pretty confident we won’t find them either. And no, Sipreano – if you know the song, you don’t win a prize. Download Cratery 33 (session A) featuring MoSS below. Enjoy”.

” Repost Wreck : Major Stress “
*Originally posted 12/1/10…This goes out to you MOBZ ONERZ..
If your growing tired of listening to sensitive busters on the mic, let me take you back to 1997 for a healthy dose of hardcore that will make you clench up your fist……Salaam Remi had a short-lived record label called Norfside…..Out of all the groups he put out, “Major Stress” showed the most potential in my opinion…They released a couple singles, and eventually put out a poorly distributed album in 1997 called “Up Against The Wall”……
Good stuff…….Plenty death threats, boulevard bully rhymes, stick up kid narratives, and very raw production supplied by Mr. Remi……
Here are a couple highlights…..
“Snakes To Burn”…Wow, if this doesn’t get your blood pumping something is fucking wrong with you…HAHA….
“Tell Your Crew”..Even with the off-kilter hook, this song still cooks and has managed to age well…

” What Part Of the Game Is This “?
God damn….
I pre-ordered the “DUST & GROOVES” book almost five months ago, and I got hit off with another delay excuse from the author Eilon Paz yesterday…What the fuck ?
I’m not sure exactly what type of fuckery is going on, but I suspect that something strange is popping off….If you plan on pre-ordering this book – please just wait until you can find it out on the field or you will end up mad, disappointed,confused, and thoroughly pissed off like me right about now…
If any of the BATTLEFIELD readers know Eilon, please tell him to get his motherfucking mind right….QUICK.
” Rubble Kings Steez “
I’m glad that this documentary has finally seen the light of day…Salute to Shane Nicholson for making it happen..
“From 1968 to 1975, gangs ruled New York City. Beyond the idealistic hopes of the civil rights movement lay an unfocused rage. Neither law enforcement nor social agency could end the escalating bloodshed. Peace came only through the most unlikely and courageous of events that would change the world for generations to come by giving birth to hip-hop culture. Rubble Kings, the most comprehensive documentation of life during this era of gang rule to date, tells the story of how a few extraordinary, forgotten people did the impossible, and how their actions impacted the world over.
Rubble Kings is a feature length documentary about the New York city street gangs of the late ‘60s / ‘70s and their influence on hip-hop culture”.
Peep the trailer cuzzo..
” Script Flipping “
*Before you read this excellent article about Ice Cube by RAPPERS EXPOSED, please keep in mind that I believe everyone has the right to grow and expand as artist, but once you display concrete contradictions that alienate your original fan base you will be held accountable..
At one time Oshea Jackson was on the verge of being a catalyst for complete rebellion, now he has been reduced to a non-threatening shell of his former self in my opinion…Truth be told, I stopped checking for him right around the Predator era – too many sappy beats started popping up, wack synth lines, and a personal pet peeve of mine; cheesy sanging / singing on the hooks pretty much made me turn my back……
Regardless, it’s not in me to fully lose all respect for him…He is obviously a smart, half-way funny dude that has accomplished more than most motherfuckers will in their lifetime, BUT AT WHAT COST IS THE QUESTION !!!
Now that I got my personal opinion out of the way, please read this article if you know what’s best for you….It should have been called NO VASELINE PART 2….HAHAHAHAHA
“Burn, Hollywood, Burn
O’Shea has made songs bashing Koreans, whites, Christians, and Jewish people as well as his own people. To this day he has never apologized and even continues to spread his hostility. Ice Cube is a hateful man to whom many people still continue to look as some example for black power.
However, it would be a stretch to believe that Ice Cube’s prejudiced rhetoric stems from a philosophy of black power. His very presence in Hollywood and in the music industry cries the exact opposite. The same Jewish people he has called out, the same white women he hates, and the same African Americans he has bashed are some of the very people who employ him, star with him, and write his scripts. Ice Cube is not only a fake gangster but he’s also a fake revolutionary. Some like to cheer him on as he talks about “the man” in his music but fail to realize that not only is he a part of the system, but also to a large degree he is the system. Who is the top rapper in Hollywood if not Ice Cube? Ice has risen to the top of the music and film industries, which have not yet changed to embrace true equality. The only way he could succeed in them is if he compromised in order to fit in. If Ice was any threat to the status quo, he would be blacklisted and put on the shelf just as others have been in the past.
Even though he rarely puts his own views up for public scrutiny, he has no problem with ridiculing others. For example, anyone who thinks “We are all praying to the same God” should take note of how Cube has portrayed everyone who doesn’t practice Islam. A prime example is Friday, a film written by Ice Cube that included a corrupt, adulterous, weed-smoking preacher played by Berrnie Mac. Just imagine his outrage if an Islamic Imam were shown in such a light”!
” New Shit On Deck “
HERB MCGRUFF is back in effect mode for the 2014 season with the release of “Lots Of Gunz”…HERB proves that he is still nice with his pen game, but the guest verse from GEOGONTE wasn’t really necessary if you ask me…

” B-Boy Morale “
I will be the first to admit that some of these new era B-Boy battles lack soul power, chemistry, and the fundamentals….But on the other hand I cant front on the insane combinations these dudes are pulling off with the greatest of ease….
Peep this 17 minute clip of highlights from the “BATTLE OF THE YEAR” jam that popped off a couple weeks back and catch a zone..
” Battlefield Breaks : Repost “
*Originally posted a few years ago..I’m bringing it back because MEDIAFIRE deaded the link for some reason…SUCKAZ.
“I already splashed ya’ll with raw remixes (Strictly Weapons & Remix Weaponry)..Then I hit you over the head with grimy top shotta wreck (Every Posse Get Flat), so I thought it was only right that I dig in some of my dustiest crates to provide a dangerous explosion of break beat action…
These aren’t your average “run of the mill” breaks that you have heard a million times..What I did was incorporate some of my own productions in the mix to keep things interesting and unpredictable…
Anyway, big up to everyone that scopes out the BATTLEFIELD on the regular it is appreciated to the utmost”..
