” E-Rule 2014 “
*Gotta salute these brothers for flipping the classic Rakim cover art the correct way..
The heavily slept on west coast rhyme monster E-RULE just dropped some 2014 Hip Hop morale with the release of “Classic” with BORN ALLAH & PLANET ASIA..
Glad to hear that he hasn’t lost a step with his bar game…
” Hip Hop Scholarship Steez “
The controversial Hip Hop documentary “Founding Fathers” hit the net a couple days ago..Regardless if you agree with everything presented in the film, you should give it your undivided attention if you consider yourself a dedicated Hip Hop student…
RUNNING TIME:75 MINUTES.
Big salute to my manz SHA ONERZ for pointing me in the right direction..
” Hawaiian Soul Power “
If your in the mood for some groove morale – give this ALOHA GOT SOUL (7 Deadly Spins 45) mix a thorough listen…
“Now, a very special treat for you all the way from Hawaii: Roger Bong is the guy behind a great website all about Hawaiian jazz, funk, soul, and rare grooves, and is the latest guest to provide an exclusive 7-inch vinyl mix for our Seven Deadly Spins segment…
Bong moved to Hawaii when he was 7—that’s a bit spooky for our mix series, isn’t it? And he got more heavily into the island sounds via DJ Muro’s Hawaiian Breaks mix. But now he is a complete nut for the stuff himself”.

” What Part Of The Game Is This ”
WOW…
I was excited when I spotted that OUTLOUD (Blahzay Blahzay fame) had some new material on deck…It’s been awhile since I heard anything from the rugged rhyme slinger from east New York so I had high hopes..
But when I hit the play button on the “Best Of The Best” video I was appalled from jump street…
WHAT PART OF THE GAME IS THIS ?

” Blastmaster Drops Jewelry “
I was raised on BDP just like many of the HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD readers; have had the opportunity to see KRS perform numerous times, peeped his lectures, read his books, and purchased many of his recordings….
FFWD to 2014 and I am still amazed at how inspirational he truly is……The Hip Hop community should pay homage to this man on a bigger level considering how much he has contributed to the art form……Do yourself a favor and watch this hour long piece of the blastmaster breaking down all types of jewelry for the 40 Years Of Hip Hop lecture series…
KRS-One shares valuable secrets on the history, meaning and philosophy of Hip Hop. Slavery, education, spirituality, culture, modern society, war, the economy, mainstream hip-hop and much more were discussed at this historical event.
This speech was held during the Hip Hop appreciation week in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. There, KRS-One held his forty years of Hip-Hop lecture in the Bijlmer neighborhood.
