This compilation of goodies was put together by “D.J. Focus”……It features a gang of cuts that are bound to make you want to smash something up….
My only complaint is that many of these songs would have sounded fresh blended together, other than that he comes equipped with dangerous selections so I give it the thumbs up regardless….
Via- Dot Got It…
Check out these clips of D.J. Premier wrecking the set out in South Africa recently…….
Salute……..

Anyway, since the weekend is already here it’s only right that I bless you with some theme music to boost your Friday morale…I spotted this 45 mix at the excellent “Flea Market Funk” blog…..With a nasty playlist like this, you would be a fool to pass it up..

* On a side note: Pam Grier is STILL looking good in 2010 by the way….HAHAHA
If this album was just instrumentals I would be just as excited about it……Buckwild was absolutely on fire in the mid-nineties, and he is still far from a slouch when it comes to production in the 21st century…..
Hopefully this sampler will hold you down until the album officially drops….
And if you are still on the hunt for more , peep this mix by D.J. Kozi “Best Of Buckwild” mix that dropped a couple years back troop….
Finally got a chance to listen to this loose collection of songs by former Def Jukie,”Masai Bey”……..
It’s nearly impossible to describe his approach to emceeing….Abstract, original, ill, refreshing…..Nah, none of the descriptions really give him justice….
How about on some next shit !!!!!
What people seem to forget is that he usually makes his own beats…I have to give him a pat on the back for that on general principle….It doesn’t hurt that most of his beats are actually FRESH..
Check in….
” Say Uncle ” – Produced by Masai Bey
” Reference Text “- Produced by Masai Bey
That wild and crazy dude, “Motion Man” hooked up with Hip Hop Game for an interesting interview recently……He talks about his new album, Kool Keith, his creative process, and all types of other shit that will hold your attention..
And while your at it-check out my second favorite song off of the “Adult Situations” album…
“Your The Woman”- produced by Jethroe & Unagi…….This beat is ridiculous..
I personally do not believe in conspiracy theories…..If someone comes up with the proof to document secret warfare, the illuminati, or systematic genocide, it is no longer theory it is actual fact we are dealing with….
The problem is that many people are programmed to denounce anything that challenges the status quo…..Instead of turning off the boob tube and and finding out the truth for themselves, they would rather criticize concrete evidence without putting in some serious study time…
While some folks are obsessed with exposing Jay Z as some type of secret society puppet (Which he probably is at this point)- there are bigger targets out there that have caused more damage on a broader scale than Jay Z could ever dream about…..
Zeitgeist 3 trailer below…Peace to Kool Skool…

Black Poet and Kyron are back with Scrape Skrilla & Ty-Nitty to reform Screwball…….Good news….Be on the lookout for the upcoming album dropping sometime soon….
Here is a new cut to hold you over….R.I.P. KL….
VIA-DJPB.
“Welcome Back Screwball”
You gotta love the internet for making it possible to hear music from all over the world…..In this day in age you can get your music raw and uncut, without the interference of a “middle man”…
If you dig the sounds of Brazilian grooves like myself- than you will definitely enjoy this live session from D.J. Vivo at the Brazilian Beats event with Gilles Peterson, May 7th 2008…..
Fresh off a seven year prison bid, Beat Nuts affiliate “Gab-Gotcha” comes to the table with some 2010 spices on his newest mixtape (United States Vs. Gab Gotcha)….
Here are a couple highlights…….TAKE A LISTEN..
“Throw Your Hands Up”
“Love Changes”
Since my father and his side of the family are from the Caribbean (Cayman Islands STAND UP), I was exposed to the sounds of Reggae at an early age….
Dennis Brown, Bob Marley, Yellowman, and even these tiny kids from Europe, “Musical Youth” got much burn in my household…..What I loved about Musical Youth is that they were extremely talented, and their young minded approach appealed to me….
Here are a couple facts about Musical Youth that you might not know….
1..Their first album was nominated for a Grammy…
2..One of the first black acts on M.T.V………..I think they were the first actually..
3..”Pass The Dutchie” went all the way to number one on the U.K. charts, and went on to sell over four million copies….
It seemed like they just vanished after their first album….Although they recorded after that, collaborations with Donna Summer and Eddie Grant pretty much began a downward spiral for the group and they never fully recovered…..
A couple days ago I watched a show on TV-One (Unsung) that went into detail about the rise and fall of the group…….My suspicions were correct: Their record company straight took advantage of their age and JERKED them….
One of the members (the drummer Freddie Waite ) had a nervous breakdown, the bass player (Patrick Waite) died after suffering from years of poverty, drug abuse and neglect…..SAD…..
Eventually the remaining group members sued their record company and received over a million dollars in back pay, almost thirty years after the release of their debut album……….
Check out a sneak peek below..
*In the above pic—Me, Peezo, and Big Kufu..
At this point, I have probably put up about a hundred of my own remixes on HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD……I feel that as time goes on my production skills are getting more detailed and more dangerous….
It’s been a lot of hard work, but I am far from content- every single day I learn more…..
To everyone that has given me their opinions, I appreciate it…..
Anyway, peep this remix of Royal Flush’s “Worldwide” that I did awhile ago…….This is actually a re-post, but I feel that it deserves more shines….HAHA….
ENJOY…..
Marcus Respekt or Mark Speqt (if you know what time it was with Sub-Verse Records), has a blog that you should peep next time your floating around cyber-space…..
Funny as hell writing style, on-point analogies, and a deep appreciation for Hip Hop makes this a spot worthy of checking out…And while your at it, go out and cop his ill mixtape (Bloodlust 2) if you haven’t already trooper….
Tell him that grimey kid from HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD sent you jack !
* I spotted this hilarious T -Shirt at Mark’s blog…….” LAME ” -TRUE INDEED……
If you have been following Hip Hop Battlefield for the last three years, than you already know Kool G. Rap is my all-time favorite M.C.
He created tons of imitators, could battle and also write cohesive-conceptual songs, and G rap is still relevant after two decades of mic wrecking…
WHEW……Be on the lookout for his new album ,”Riches, Royalty, Respect”…
Back in 1998 he dropped a gem of a song called “Drums Of Death”, produced by D.J. Shadow…..When I talk to G.Rap aficionados, for some strange reason they always forget this joint….
So for all of you that slept the first time around-YOU KNOW THE DRILL…
* Beware of the long intro….The music doesn’t actually start until the 1 minute mark…
If you are a Gang Starr fan (like myself), this interview with Jazzmattazz trumpet player ,”Brownman” is a must read……
Instead of speculating about the last years of Guru’s life, you can read for yourself about the awkward situations surrounding our fallen Hip Hop soldier….
R.I.P. Guru, gone but definitely not forgotten……The struggle continues…
