Ever since I had my son (Jahmel Nesta), I put my shoe buying on hold and started picking up kicks for him….
Good thing I’m fully stocked HAHA…..
I was looking through the massive amounts of shoes I have accumulated over the years, and a funny thing dawned on me……Why have all these ill kicks if I’m not going to wear them more often ?
So from now on fuck stashing my joints…… Even though Summer’s over, I have to start splashing the set again…..
Here are a couple joints from my collection that I felt like sharing with the Hip Hop Battlefield posse……Be on the lookout for my special AF1 showcase in a couple weeks troop……POW.
1..NASTY AIR STABS…..
God damn, look at the color scheme on these famo…..Sky blue, baby blue, grey, light grey, a splash of red, black, light brown, and dark brown….That’s 8 colors of flavor…….
A lot of dudes don’t fuck with Stab’s, but I’m a big Stab fan when they flip them correctly…….BLAM.
2..TOP TEN WRECK…
C-Knowledge from “Digable Planets”, ran up on me and started screaming his head off when he saw me rocking these heaters…………Blue & White, nothing too crazy just an all around fresh shoe…….
What up “C” & Cashish in Philly…
3..AJ’s
Yeah man, I caught these out in Seattle during a heavy digging mission awhile back…..To my surprise they only ran me 80 bucks…..I’m quite sure you would have to pay close to 200 hundred if you wanted these scorchers right now..
Green & Black pressure…..
4.. CROSS TRAINER SB’s
Once again check the nasty color scheme: Black, grey, olive green, dark green, tan, powder blue, and baby blue……Somehow they made all these colors rock when it sounds like it would be impossible to pull it off….
Caught these out in S.F in one of my favorite spots in the entire country (which will remain nameless)….
5..ADIDAS MID’S….
My man Mad Miguel from L.A. blessed me with these dynamite sticks………Karreem Abdul Jabbar in full blown karate mode on the side, with the ill clear stripes…..What’s fucking with that ?
I have been terrified to rock these in public (gotta stay scuff-free), but I’m going to crush kids with these next Summer….POW,POW…
6..DUNKS,DUNKS,DUNKS….
WHEW..
Do I really have to explain why these are ridiculous ?………Every time I wear these someone will tap me on the shoulder and ask ” Where the fuck did you get those ? “……..
I don’t even know myself…..My man Big Ali hit me off with these a couple years back……What up Ali…….
So that’s it folks……I should pull out some old Lotto’s or some vintage Ellesse to really shake you motherfuckers up, but I’m going to fall back for now……
*Salute to my seven week old son/sun—– A.K.A. Jahmel Rockwell….A.K.A Jahmel Grizzly……A.K.A. Little dude….A.K.A. NO SLEEP FOR POPPA LARGE….HAHA
Peace-

Hailing from the streets of San Jose, California- “Jihad” has been putting in work on the mic device for a minute now…His collaborative albums with D-Styles (Third Sight) are incredibly original, heavily detailed, and in a class by themselves….
Go back and listen if you think I am bullshitting…..
I decided to find out what Jihad was up to lately and stumbled on these 2010 cuts…..
” Drugs And Such “
Drugs N Such by <a
href=”http://soundcloud.com/epluribusurine”>Roughneck Jihad
” Polar Ice Cap Raps “
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……..

And while your at it: you might as well scoop up the latest broadcast of Live From Headquarters..10/08/2010

WOW.
Time is flying by at a rapid rate….Before you know it, 2011 will be upon us……
But don’t fret famo, HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD is still on the set and I will make sure to keep applying the pressure…..BLAM, BLAM…
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..
Enjoy…

* 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…
Disclose.tv – Zeitgeist III Moving Forward Full Version Trailer Video
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..
