" Get Off The Bozack, Part 2 "
Yesterday I came across a site that tried to rock Hip Hop Battlefield as their name…..Only one problem, I have been up and running for almost three years, and it seems as if they just got started- so I know they straight bit my shit…
So if you google Hip Hop Battlefield, my spot will pop up and right under me you will notice these other dudes site…..It seems as if they are on some type of Crumping, Jerking, cornball type of steez…..They even use lame words like swaggerville, and dance crews..
HAHAHAHA…….
If they are doing things for the Las Vegas youth, and enriching the community with their so-called battles- more power to them..But biting is not allowed in any capacity in my opinion……Needless to say that I am a little puzzled by their moves, now I can never move from a blogspot to a .com because they basically housed my shit (Even though I never planned on doing such a thing)….
I’m not mad…..I’m just puzzled at this whole scenario……..Regardless, I am the DON of this Hip Hop Battlefield ship kid……
Enough of my rambling, let me get to the goodies by “Constant Deviants”—Problem Child…
" Friday Meditations: Roy Ayers Mix "
I’m going to be honest, I didn’t have the chance to sit down and fully digest this mix quite yet…..Most of the time I will not post something up until it passes the HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD seal of approval, but I will make an exception today because the tracklisting looks insane….
Roy Ayers is a certified musical genius that has put in a tremendous amount of work over the years…….That alone should prompt you to investigate this mix to analyze his compositions…..
Enjoy……Peace to Blackout..

” A book of great importance, Part One – The Death Squad gives credit where credit is due to the unsung legend that is Part One – an original style writer. This is the first publication that deals with his overwhelming impact on writing culture, with stories from the early days until now. We relish the opportunity to give props and acknowledge one of the true innovators who have paved the way for writing culture aesthetics today.

" Black I Salute- R.I.P. "
If you googled “Black I” on the internet, you would be hard-pressed to find any info about this Toronto M.C. who passed away before he received his proper due…
When I first heard this song (No Laws) in 1996, I knew for a fact that I was hearing some NEXT SHIT !!!!! The way he rhymed was absolutely crazy, and his flow was 100 % original…I have been on a mission for over ten years to find anything he has released . If you guys out there have some hidden Black I treats, or any stories about the man, please don’t hesitate to shoot me some information…
So without further delay- here is one of my personal classics….
“No Laws”- From the Beat Factory Rap Essentials compilation…
And just to keep it 100—peep this video for “Where I’m From”…
* This is a re-post from over a year ago….
" Back To Burn "
Alright folks, I’m back on the set to hit you off with that BATTLEFIELD steam….
This cut right here by D-Law & The Bounty Hunters (The Gutta Remix), is sure to cause pandemonium if it is played at a loud volume in a public area…..If you don’t believe me-go ahead and try it if you think I am bullshitting..
Beats by Broileroom Productions, on the Touch Bottom label…….1994 RAW SHIT !!!!!!!
" Hey Young World "
Last Friday my girlfriend of six years and I, welcomed our first child into this world….”Jahmel Nesta” is his name and he was a whopping 9 pounds (Talk about living large)….
Words can’t express how it feels to be a father…..The last couple years have been extremely rough for my family: My younger brother “Damion” passed away and within a year I lost my father as well……..So to have an actual birth instead of another death, gives me the courage to try my best to be a good example for my son/sun…….
Don’t get it twisted- everything is going to remain raw on HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD…..Matter of fact, I am more focused than ever and I plan on keeping the grime alive (This is grown folks B.I.)
HAHAHAHAHA….
So check back on Wed-Thursday for your regular Hip Hop fix on the BATTLEFIELD…….Big up to all my peoples-you know who you are……
And to all the kiddies out there “HEY YOUNG WORLD, THE WORLD IS YOURS”……
Respect-
D
" Beat Nuts International "
The Beat Nuts take us on a wild journey through the streets of Jerusalem for this hilarious clip….AWWW MAN, I laughed for about five minutes straight after watching this….
