While scoping out the excellent “Dirty Waters” blog, I noticed an in-depth interview with Mr. Rap Is Out Of Control himself, DJ Eclipse…..
Usually Eclipse is the one interviewing different artist, it’s nice to read what his opinions are for a change….
Anyways, there is a tremendous amount of fresh material at this blog for you to scoop up…Do not sleep partner…..When you head over there, tell them that grimy brother from HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD sent you kid….
Now that I’m a proud father, I can’t play all that hardcore shit while I’m dealing with my son (He is only 10 months old)……As much as I would love to play some early NWA for him to see what his reaction would be, it just doesn’t feel like the right thing to do HAHA..
When he gets older, I will put him in the lab to hear all the hardcore music that influenced his dad throughout the years…
Until then, he gets to hear uplifting jewels like this : Nicola Conte “Viagem 3″……WOW, Brazilian tunes that would even make a cold blooded killer crack a smile and do a little two-step…..
Summer is here trooper, catch a groove and rock on….

“The lord is my shepard / and anybody fronting I attack them like a leopard”…..HAHA…
Take a listen to the illest cut on Nine’s new mixtape, “A Big Way”……..Damn, this shit bangs like a motherfucker, unfortunately the rest of the mixtape doesn’t rock heavy production like this…
PEEP HOMEBOY…
Just listened to this instrumental project by a cat that goes by the name Katalyst……
Instead of going the usual boring beat tape route, he added some flavor packets into the equation….You will hear heavy drums, scratch sentences, well thought out composition, and a couple surprises….
I would post up the entire project, but some songs are a little too spacy for my taste…….
Here are a couple highlights….
“Break Up”………..Midway through this joint things start really cooking…DONT SLEEP..
“Showtime”…….BREAKBEAT OVERLOAD…
My “Weapons” trilogy is complete…..”Wax Weapons”, “Strictly Weapons”, and the Mobb Deep remix project, “Remix Weaponry”…
By putting it out on the blog it helped me release a lot of tension that I had stored up for quite sometime, and organize certain beats that I stored away in the stash…
I think I accomplished my personal goals with those sessions, now it’s time to retire the weapons theme and bring some different drama to the table….
Here is another remix that’s going to set the pace for the new shit I have brewing up…
M.O.P. get the remix facelift this time around (Let It Bang)…..
Fasten your helmet, strap yourself in, and put on your war goggles trooper, it’s about to get creepy on the motherfuckin battlefield..
Also, make sure you listen to this on decent speakers or you won’t hear all the production science popping off….
BLAM,BLAM…..
Everything in my world revolves around Hip Hop in some shape, form, or fashion…..From the way that I flip my vocab, to the way I dress, to the way I interact with other people….Truth be told, I don’t have any friends that aren’t Hip Hop heads to some degree…
If your not a Hip Hop dude more than likely I will lose interest in what your talking about eventually…..HAHA…
Is that shallow ?
Anyway, My dude Fran recently came back from the Beat Swapmeet in L.A. and blessed me with a ODB candle….How is that for Hip Hop….
Theses flavorful joints are made by a lady named Junebugg……If you want to cop one yourself, head over to her blog and tell her that the grimy brother from HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD sent you…..
Take a listen to this chopfest carried out by DJ Spinna (Chopmaster Flopp EP)….
He takes some well known breaks and gives them the MPC sound deconstruction treatment….Be on the lookout for Spinna’s upcoming full length, “Who’s Got The Chops” in the near future….
“Lord digga, the microphone mutilator with the hardcore data to mash motherfuckers like potatoes / get a load of a punk who tried to diss me, you wanna know why cause I spit on spectators”…
“Saturday Night”…..
Remember that shit ?…..When I heard the Digga Man flip those crazy bars I was eager to hear more from the dude with the ugly vocals…..Unfortunately the INC crew disbanded (Uneek, Ace, Digga, and Paula Perry) but Digga continued to produce and release a couple singles here and there…
One Leg Up records released the High Plains Drifter EP a couple years back as well (Go cop that if you haven’t already)….

Double K (Not the cat from P.U.T.S.) blesses us with a solid hour of head nodders…..

“Laced Cheeba” is the third leak from Wu’s upcoming album dropping on July 26th……Ghost, Sean P, and Trife Diesel spark up the mic with roughneck bars…
Take a listen…
My dude Keb Oner is far from a slouch when it comes to getting busy…..
I have known him for over ten years and he never ceases to amaze me with his approach to writing…..For instance, peep this piece that he recently rocked in the streets of San Francisco (He even gave me a little shout out HAHA)…..
Salute to you big Kebz for keeping those flames burning…

I’m back from my brief stay in Vancouver, Canada and I’m ready to keep this BATTLEFIELD shit fully charged up……WOW…Where and the hell do I begin ?
I had the opportunity to sit in and crack jokes on my homeboy’s radio show, “African Rhythm’s” with Dave Jones at the scenic University of British Columbia……This cat has been on the airwaves for 18 years and still has the time to run his own record store (Which is very dope by the way)…..His selections were stunning, explosive, and soul power infused….
All vinyl, all heavy, all flavorful……
You can download this hour and a half long session if your in the mood for some Summertime grooves….DO NOT SLEEP…
Big up Dave for blessing me with some more ill open drum breaks……Now I’m fully ready to abuse my sampler and take shit to a whole different stratosphere…..More remix chaos in the near future, be on the lookout troopers…
Anyway, Vancouver is a very diverse city with plenty going on……Checked out an ill Latino block party that made the party people show up in droves..
Seen someone get stabbed up….CRAZY….Dude was leaking all over the sidewalk trying to get his mind together and no one really seemed to care…I thought about taking a picture, but that would be tasteless and disrespectful right ?
I also traveled all throughout the city catching graff flicks (I will post pics later on this week)…..
All in all, Vancity is a thriving city with over 3 million people…..It’s a very international spot with loads of record stores, restaurants, shoe boutiques, gorgeous women (Seriously), clubs, gardens, smoke cafe’s (HAHA), and all that other fly shit…..I highly recommend it if your on the lookout for a quick vacation……
HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD will return to it’s regular momentum tomorrow morning…..I’m still trying to recover and get my mind back on Vietnam, California time……Big up to everyone that checks in on the regular, it’s going to be a wild week…..
Vancouver’s International Jazz festival starts off today (My Birthday) so I will be heading out to catch some groove inspiration……
It’s Friday already so here is the latest broadcast of Eclipse’s “Rap Is Out Of Control” show….Two hours of comedy, doubles, and brand new joints…..

Even though I have NEVER been a fan of your boy DMX, he recently made some comments regarding Drake and skinny jeans that I whole heartedly agreed with….
“I don’t like Drake. It’s nothing that he did to me, He actually is talented. It ain’t nothing personal. I don’t like his stuff. He has a little wordplay here and there, but when I see him and hear him it’s like—‘Money, I’m not rockin with that.”
Following those statements he continued with, “Yeah, the fucking skinny jeans and tight sweaters! Those are baby clothes. What are you shopping at Baby Gap???” he queried. “I think I’m gonna wear Timberlands until I die man. They may not be the hottest thing out, but Timbs keep reinventing themselves. Timbs is still on fire right now!”
Those words alone are enough to make me laugh myself into convulsions, but the funniest part is when Hip Hop DX’s readers chimed in with their own opinions…….This is when the comedy levels reach an all-time high….
YOU A JOKE WROTE…
” MOST THE NIGGAS ON THIS WEBSITE PROBABLY ROCKING THE SKINNY JEANS AND KANYE WEST GLASSES HAHA FAGGOT ASS NIGGAS… DRAKE IS WACK, HIS SONG IS EITHER SOME LOVE SHIT OR SOME YOUNG MONEY POP SHIT… NIGGA COULDNT RAP CHRISTMAS PRESENTS “……
HAHAHAHA…….
KING PONE ADDED…
“MAN, X WASHED UP…..HE AINT IN JAIL WORKING ON LYRICS, HE IN THERE STILL GETTIN’ HIGH BET. IT’S EASY TO GET DOPE IN THERE LOL……HE IN THERE SUCKIN THAT PIPE…FUCK OUTTA HERE X. BUT I DO AGREE W THAT SKINNY JEANS ISSH.”
Aww man, that one right there made me crack up like a motherfucker……
TC CONTINUED WITH…
I mean X, I respect your opinion, but you will never be hot like that again. You are no longer relevant, too many smoking crack incidents and wack ass songs you have been making, put you out the game, it’s over D, just bow out, you’ve have your time.
WOW…..
And lastly, THAT NIGGA blessed us with his take on X’s statements…..
” Ayo X, the fuck I need Timbs for I live in Tampa. It’s hot as shit out here nigga. Fuck your size 40 jeans with no belt hanging off yo ass nigga. A nigga can’t even walk in them shits, plus the sweat drippin off my balls and shit nigga.
Eat a hot bowl of dicks. If I wanna dress comfortable, that’s my fuckin prerogative.”
Like I said in the beginning, DMX has never really caught my attention……I appreciate the hyped up energy and all the aggressive antics, but I never really checked for all the dog barking, tinker bell beats, and mediocre lyrics……Regardless, I do not wish jail time on anybody and hopefully when he gets out this time he takes it easy…..
What’s the moral of the story folks, everyone and their mother has a motherfuckin opinion about Hip Hop…..HAHAHA….
