Those Conspiracy Radio dudes are back on the set with another show packed with goodies….Pete Rock, Showbiz, Smoke DZA, Virtuoso, Nottz, and MC Eight this time around folks…WHEW….
Some of the musical selections are somewhat questionable, but with a interview line up like this I can’t complain…..CHECK IN…
What’s going on out there Hip Hop Battlefield posse ?…..
Is this crazy work week taking it’s toll on you ? If it is, I have exactly what you need to help raise your morale levels…..D.J. Andy Smith brings an hour of 45 funk/soul scorchers to the table (Digging In The BGP Vaults)….I can promise you that after listening to this from beginning to end, you will get put under some type of heavy spell…HAHA…
YOU KNOW THE DRILL….
Check out this mix that Prince Paul put together before he dropped the classic, “Psychoanalysis” album…….He runs through this session in a chronological order that will make you realize how much material he has produced over the years….
I also have to mention that he includes cuts that were never commercially released…..
In the past I wasn’t much of a watch type of dude….And then one day I spotted a fly boom box watch courtesy of Flud Watches that had me bugging out….
No ice, no corny colors just pure original flavor……I copped one about a year ago for a hundred bucks and then all of the sudden my life took a turn for the better….SERIOUSLY….Everywhere I go motherfuckers are quick to say, “Where and the hell did you get that watch”……Or, “Does your watch actually play music” HAHAHA….
Something about this watch has the females catching the vapors as well….I already knew ladies loved the accessories and all that, but I never had a clue they would flip out like this…
If you think I am bullshitting cop one of these yourself and conduct your own social experiments……
*This special edition Roc Raida joint is wild…..R.I.P.
It’s a challenge sorting through all the music that I get sent to me on the regular….But what’s even more challenging is finding material that is actually worthy of Hip Hop Battlefield shines……
I’m not asking for much: A little originality never hurt, fresh beats, convincing rhymes, etc….
The good folks over at Doxide Music Group sent me this project by IMAKEMADBEATS & D.J. Traumatix (IMAKEMADMIXTAPES) that caught my attention…

Ayatollah is back on the set with some more instrumental snacks for you to feast on (Fingertips)…….After giving it a listen I have come to the conclusion that this cut right here (Illmatic) is my favorite on the whole project….
Yeah man this is some extra raw shit right here…..
PEEP..
A wise man once told me, “A real D.J. does real things kid”…….HAHAHAHA….
So I decided to push the record button while flipping through some of the crates earlier today…..Instead of rocking the vocal versions I went back to the original recipe of what Wax Weapons was all about : Fly instrumentals….
Sometimes I get tired of all that wierdo shit dudes be yelling….It’s good to let the beats knock every once in awhile and catch a zone without lyrics attached to it (Ya Feel Me)…

Recently listened to this mix by Big Stacks (Slow & Funky) that will help you start your week on the right footing….Sixty minutes of non-stop soul power from beginning to end….
SAY WORD……
Do the right thing and give this a thorough listen kid…
I seriously doubt I need to go into detail about who Jazzy J is…I’m quite sure all of my Hip Hop battlefield readers are well versed about his contributions to this art form……
But how many of you have actually heard a live set from this BX legend ?…….Now is your opportunity to dissect a 80 minute long session by Jazzy from the early 80’s on 98.7 Kiss FM…..
And while your at it homeboy, peep this interview with Jazzy by DJ’s United.Com……FRESH….
Mayhem Lauren & Lo Life General, Thirstin Howl 3rd clique up for a fast paced rhyme fest bonanza on this joint entitled, “Double Dosage”….
This sounds like some Hip Hop 007 type shit……Be on the lookout for Thirstin’s new album in the near future (Natural Born Skiller)
VIA- DGI..
The Gangrene album “Gutter Water” definitely had it’s shining moments…..On a scale from 1-10, I would have to give the duo a 6+…
The score would be higher if I heard some better rhymes on the project…..On one song Alchemist resorted to spitting elementary lines like, “Jumping out the trash can like Oscar The Grouch”…….Now if I was to spit some shit like that motherfuckers would try their hardest to ban me from the cipher…..
With that being said, “Gutter Water” was loaded with nasty, raw beats…….Here is a remix that wasn’t included on the album, “Demons” featuring Evidence and Fashawn…
Since it is Friday it’s only right that I hit you off with some official torpedos for your weekend antics….Toronto’s “Mathematik” deserves more recognition for his impressive style of rhyming……Instead of flipping run of the mill braggadocio type lines, he speaks with substance, agility, and of course 5 % mathematics….
With so many cats fighting for mic time it’s easy to get lost in the sauce, especially if your from Canada….Unfortunately many in the U.S. are unaware of his skills..
Math was once down with a crew called “Down To Erf” and they released a fresh E.P in 1998 (Rhyme Training)…..Give these cuts a listen if you know what’s good for you…
“To Each His Own”
“”Learn To Earn”
Mathematik is still doing his thing……Here is a video for a cut he dropped in 2010 (Get Up)…..I prefer his older material, but this song is worthy of mixtape burn…
If your in the Bay area tonight, the west coast style pioneers Freestyle Fellowship will be holding down the fort at Bruno’s……Damn, good to see the team back in action….
SALUTE..
I’m not one of those dudes that is constantly posted up in front of the television all the time…..If I’m not on the turntables in the lab, more than likely I’m reading a book…..
Just copped the new book by Dan Charnas, “The Big Payback”……645 pages of critical information that had me bugging the fuck out……SERIOUSLY…..Somehow Dan managed to bring something to the table that hasn’t been done before….
Here are some interesting facts according to this book that caught my attention…
1..Krush Groove earned 3 million in it’s first weekend…
2..Rick Rubin designed the Def Jam logo..
3..Fab Five Freddy was supposed to take part in the classic song “Buffalo Gals”, but instead passed off the opportunity to the World Famous Supreme Team…
4..Sylvia Robinson (Sugar Hill) rejected a free video for “White Lines” made by Spike Lee in the early 80’s….
5..Run D.M.C. were given only two thousand dollars to record the single, “It’s Like That” on Profile Records….
6..Planet Rock sold 650,000 12-inch singles for Tommy Boy-and was certified gold on September 16, 1982….
7..Dr.Jeckyll & Mr.Hyde were Profile Records first real artist, and they were offered two thousand dollars to publish all the songs they would record for the label..
8..Egyptian Lover is not even Egyptian, and his real name is Greg Broussard…..HAHA..
I think you get the point by now that this book is very in-depth and packed with all types of Hip hop jewelry…..If your a dedicated Hip Hop student like myself you can cop the book
