O.P.P. does not stand for “other peoples privates”…..O.P.P. stands for other peoples productions…..HA !

The story of Kay Gee biting Tony D’s “Adam’s Nightmare” for O.P.P. is an old story for some ,but for many others this is brand new information….

Guru once said “Rap is an art you don’t own no loops”….

I can understand that sentiment (Somewhat), it’s another thing all together when you straight up rob someone’s idea though…..Not only that, both producers hail from New Jersey which makes the thievery even more foul….

Take a listen and ask yourself ,”what part of the game is this” ?

RIP Tony D 1967- 2009…

The Bronx bomber Tim Dog is currently dealing with some type of legal issues, but I do not truly know the “in’s & outs” of the case so I’m not going to even go into that shit (I’m not a motherfuckin T.V. reporter)…

Regardless, Tim Dog’s first album “Penicillin On Wax” has managed to age very well in my opinion….Ced G & T.R. Love supplied him with heavily layered, dense, sample based collages that still pack a punch today…

In a recent article for Ego Trip “J-Zone” breaks down some of Tim’s illest one liners……..Funny indeed..

If your in the mood for a hearty laugh, check in duke…..

PEEP..

Unlike many blogs out there, I usually take the time to listen to a project before I put it up…….I’m not one of those extra thirsty dudes that takes pride in the “quantity” of post they can pull off – I’m more into the “quality” factor when it comes to HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD….

I will make an exception for Diamond though of course…..I haven’t had a chance to listen to this two hour session of “D” slicing up breaks in Russia yet, but I’m quite sure it’s going to be an enjoyable listening experience…..

The King Yellowman will be in Sacramento, California on October 14th at the Capitol Garage……

I had the opportunity to catch one of his performances a couple years back, and despite having massive surgery for throat cancer, Yellowman still gave a inspiring, high energy show…..

Some of you so-called M.C.’s could learn a thing or two from one of Reggae’s top ranking dons….

BUY TICKETS HERE…

And since it is the weekend it’s only right that I attach a music link to this post : Yellowman, Fat head, Little Harry & Jah Rubba on Aces Sound System- 1981 Jamaica……

Perfect for some Friday shenanigans…….

M.O.P.’s “Lil Fame” joins DJ Toshi for the Classic Storm Radio Show episode 100…..

Over 90 minutes of new Hip Hop joints by Tragedy, Timbo King, BAM, Killa Sha, Nutso, Blaq Poet, etc……So turn the volume up a notch and prepare for some 2011 flavors….

DOWNLOAD….

If you have music that you want me to check out – send your material over to ZJUDAH@YAHOO.COM folks…..

And if I like it I will give you your rightful props and post it up on the battlefield (MK Ultra resend the link for your mix, somehow I lost it)….

If your in the mood for some explosive frequencies I highly recommend you give this project (Sizemen In Africa) a decent listen…

Rock On…

Sizemen in Africa Vol1 beatz and Rythmz from the Black Pearl Mp3 320kbps by sizemen

Like I have said before in the past, most sample source joints these days don’t really hold my attention…..

The Conmen, Phil Most Chill, Kon & Amir, Daddy Long Legs, and many others set the bar pretty high with those types of mixes – so in order for you to pull it off in 2011 you better dig a little deeper in your crates homeboy….

Fake Blood manages to make my ears perk up with his superb “Used” series of sample source material….I posted up one, two, three, and now your going to get hit with number four….

YOU KNOW THE DRILL…..

Straight from London we have the latest broadcast from Daily Digger, “Kid Dyno”……The first half of the show he hits us with all types of breaks that are bound to help you get your mind right….On the second half he digs in the crates and laces us with slept on, under the radar 90’s Hip Hop…

Over an hour of head nodders……

Start your day off correctly and give this a listen troopers…..

When it comes to that official wordplay, my crew has the crown for supplying countless motherfuckers with bars…

SERIOUSLY…

Instead of rocking tired cliches and boring adjectives – we are constantly updating our slang to help keep our Hip Hop morale up…Sure you have heard these words before, but the way we flip it gives them a whole new context with multiple meanings….

I’m not talking about corny comparisons like calling weed “broccoli”, or reciting wack phrases like, “Ya Smell Me”…..

Nah, were on a whole different level with our 2011 B-Boy, slanguage jack !!!!!!

PEEP…

1..”DIZZY”…

We used to say dizzy so much that motherfuckers thought we were crazy…..At one point everything we said had dizzy in front of it, “Dizzy DJ’s”, “Dizzy-Homo”, “Dizzy brothers”, “Dizzy chickens”, or just plain “DIZZY” by itself…..

* Proper Usage

” Yo man, I can’t believe you are playing some Odd Future in your car, you must be one of those DIZZY motherfuckers “……

2..”NAKED”

HAHAHA……Naked meaning no flavor, no soul power, no pizzazz…….Or lack of money, etc

*Proper Usage.

” I’m NAKED out here on these streets, and my bitch ass landlord just gave me an eviction notice “…

3..”NO ONE CARES”

Before JS-1 came out with his album with the same name, we turned the phrase, “No One Cares” into a monster……For some reason most cats didn’t like hearing this one….

*Proper Usage.

” I thought you were going to pick me up before you went to the disco, NO ONE CARES “…Or, ” Your always yelling about how wack Hip Hop is now, but do you support the legends when they perform in your city, NO ONE CARES “….

4..AP, BP, MP, WP….

We don’t say white dude, or asian man, or mexican cats……..We just say AP, WP, or BP’s…..What the fuck does that mean ?

Black powers, Mexican powers, Asian powers, etc……..It’s not used in a derogatory way, it’s used to identify when someone is giving someone from the same race better treatment……HAHA……Or it could get flipped many ways depending on the circumstance…

*Proper Usage.

” I noticed that you got some extra hot sauce packets for your meal, it must have been the BP’s “……….”Unfortunately I didn’t get the job honey, they saw that I was BP and they threw my resume in the trash can “…..

5..RADICAL.

Not surfer dude radical, this form of radical is just another way of saying extreme, ultimate disrespect, wild, crazy, or completely not giving a fuck…..

*Proper Usage.

” That girl had a RADICAL booty “………….” Your a soft ass punk, don’t try to get RADICAL with me you god damn herb “….. ” Damn, that smoke smells RADICAL “……..HAHAHA…

Were the slang dons and don’t let anyone try to tell you different…..I could go on for days, but this seems like a good time to end this shit….

Thanks for checking into the battlefield- it’s going to be a crazy week so stay tuned……….

Be on the lookout for Lord Finesse material straight from the vaults courtesy of Slice Of Spice Records…….Now we will be able to hear ill DITC smashers that we should of had access to in the 90’s….

And just to wet your appetites, here is a remix of “You Know What I’m About”…….

Lord Finesse – You Know What I’m About (Remix) (Snippet) by Slice-of-Spice

When I make beats I start with a clean slate every time…Instead of loading up a bunch of kits, or using kicks and snares that I have used in the past- I make sure to scour over my records until I find something new that I haven’t rocked before….

WHY ?

Because I don’t want to get caught relying on certain techniques or sounds when it comes to production…..This approach has helped me develop a non-stop record buying ethic where it’s impossible for me to get bored of my collection…..I have been buying records since 1983 and to be quite honest- I’m still on that never ending search for the perfect beat….

Anyway, a couple years back I posted up one of my remixes of “God Bless Ya Life” by the Ill Biscuits….Now is the right time to bring it back for all of those that didn’t catch it the first time….

I hate to pat myself on the back- but I believe I really knocked this shit out the park…The chops match the melancholy vibe of the accappela perfectly, the drums bang of course, and the sequences make perfect sense….

So quit stalling jack and download this Drasar Monumental exclusive shot……BAM,BAMZ….

“God Bless Ya Life- Drasar Monumental Remix “

Milkcrate Jewels is here once again folks….

This is the segment where I dig through my palace of chubby crates and unearth slept-on gems……Were going to go all the way out to Toronto, Canada for a session of goodness this time around…

“Mathematik” was apart of a group called Down To Earth in the 90’s…..He eventually went solo and released a couple albums and singles, but for some strange reason many heads in the U.S. are unaware of how ill this dude really is…..

For example peep the bars he spits on “Learn To Earn” from the Beat Factory Rap Essentials Compilation (1996)..
