My homeboy from FUNKWHATYAHEARD “M.P.” put this off the dome, one-track mix together recently…..You should already know by now that he plays no games, and he brings crazy flavors to the table every time he goes in….

So do the right thing and turn the volume to ten……

O.K. O.K. here we go again with that 2011 drama…..

When it comes to this remix shit, I build the beat around the vocals instead of just throwing accapellas over pre-made productions..

Everything is taylor made to fit the rhymes homeboy…

This time around I decided to flip G. Rap’s “Foul Cats” and create another foul concoction…….If you don’t know the drill by now- grab your war goggles, strap on some protective head gear, and prepare for collision…..I’m going in..

Yeah I was unable to rock the “C.D.” shit yesterday, but I’m going to make up for it by giving ya’ll a certified domecracker….

If you grew up in the Yo MTV Raps era you might have caught a video from Powerule (E-Ville, Prince, and Ax)…….”Smooth” was probably the trio’s biggest hit….Matter of fact that video received heavy burn for a short time period….

I’m not sure if they are still recording-the last thing I heard from them was “Bright Lights, Big City” 1997 Dolo Records….

Back in 1991 they dropped the Volume 1 album on Interscope Records (Damn, Interscope has changed for the worse over the years HAHAHA)…….Here is one of my favorite cuts from that joint….

“Ruffneck Style” produced by Powerule….

What’s going on out there HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD posse ?

Are you an M.C. that is confident in your skills ?……..Are you a D.J. that still actually mixes and practices your hand control on those scratch patterns ?……Maybe your a graff head that knows what time it is ?

Or are you a producer that donates a good amount of time to perfecting your craft ?……….

If you answered yes to any of those questions, you can send your material to ZJUDAH@YAHOO.COM and I will give it a listen to see if it is HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD status HAHA…….On the real though, send me your joints and I will see what’s good famo…

Anyway, Hip Hop Project blesses us with 4 hours of non stop hip Hop chaos…….Big up to all my peoples out there in Chi-Town, see ya’ll in a second….

“Q.B.C.” -Queens, Brooklyn Connection is one of those songs that I want D.J.’s to play, but for some strange reason I never hear it rocked…..Not even on the so-called “random rap” mixes dudes put out these days ..

(Since this came out on Capitol Records maybe it’s not random enough for them-HAHAHA)….

What a shame because it showcases one of Kurtis Mantronix’s illest beats………POW…

Former Royal Fam repper Timbo King keeps the flames burning with the release of the “Grind Wave” mixtape….This is my favorite cut from the project, “The Alliance” featuring Math Hoffa….Produced by Terminal 3…

Don’t forget to turn the volume up to ten, this is that official ugly shit….

” When I broadcast basement under the stairs / all my criminal pairs doing federal years…Laughing at your funeral nobody cares / he was sleeping with the enemy, internal affairs “….BLAM, BLAMZ….

Killer Ben has been on the set for a minute now…..The first thing I heard from him was the insane Exercise / Hitman For Hire 12 inch that dropped in 2000…Go back and cop that shit if you slept the first time around homeboy…

He steps up to the plate with some 2011 steam with “Earthquake Flow”, produced buy Dirt Diggs……FRESH…

PART 1

PART 2…

* Above pic…..Me, Sha Onerz, & Peezoe (Funk What Ya Heard)….

As promised, I’m going to hit you off with precious jewels straight from my overflowing temple of crates……Of course I will sprinkle other post throughout the week, but I am determined to bring out certified vinyl treats at least once a day for all of the HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD faithful…….

Before I get started though, I feel it is mandatory that I give you a glimpse into my history….

My father was apart of a mobile D.J. unit in the early 80’s (Boogieland Express)…..Every week, my father and his crew would load up a van full of turntables, records, etc and head out to provide music for high school students, B-Boy contest, military party-goers, and various other types of functions in the southern California region…..

Sometimes they would even set up their equipment in the front yard and get busy for all the kids in the immediate area….

Needless to say, I was under a heavy spell by the beats, so I decided to follow in my father’s footsteps and demanded that he purchase a set of turntables for me on my 8th birthday……

Pops did the right thing and set me up with a pair of wobbly turntables and a brand new “Realistic” mixer…..The first record I bought was Grandmixer D.S.T. & The Infinity Rappers- “The Grandmixer Cut’s It Up” 1983…I still have this record to this day…

While most kids were out playing hide and go-seek, I was holed up in the crib trying to get my blends and scratches together….Instead of playing with G.I. Joe figures, I had my hands wrapped around the newest Profile Records release…

SERIOUSLY……..

Within a short period of time I had amassed a substantial amount of crates…..

Boom…… Fast forward to 2011 and I’m still on the same frequency…..Most of my collection consist of Hip Hop shit- past and present, but I also have plenty Jazz, Bossa-Nova, breaks, funk, reggae, obscure wierdo shit, psych rock, and of course mad hardcore punk rock joints (More on that some other time)….

I think you get the motherfuckin point….I’m one of those vinyl dudes…

When Serato first came out I was mad at the whole situation….Now, I could care less…..Do what you do, it doesn’t matter what format you use, just try to keep it flavorful….Sticking with vinyl is a PERSONAL preference for me, but I can’t expect everyone to subscribe to my way of thinking…..I stick with vinyl because it enables me to pay homage to the ORIGINAL way the art form was handed down to me…..

So now that I got all the extra shit out of the way, here is a record from the stacks that makes me flashback to a interesting period in my life….Lejuan Love- “My Hardcore Rhymes” 1989………..

Why can’t teenagers rhyme with this much passion in the 21st century?

Listen up…Luke Skywalker Records 1989…..
