There was a time when you could turn on MTV and see Cookie Crew getting down for theirs….Shit, even your boy Hustle Scrimions (Russel Simmons) had them on his Rush Management roster….

Not to mention they had production from heavyweights like Prince Paul, D.J. Premier, Black Sheep, and even Large Pro…..It seems just like yesterday when I had “Born This Way” banging out of my boom box…(Time flies I guess)

Anyway, check out this clip to see what one-half of the Cookie Crew is up to in 2010 (M.C. Remedee)

” A book of great importance, Part One – The Death Squad gives credit where credit is due to the unsung legend that is Part One – an original style writer. This is the first publication that deals with his overwhelming impact on writing culture, with stories from the early days until now. We relish the opportunity to give props and acknowledge one of the true innovators who have paved the way for writing culture aesthetics today. Author Alain “KET” Maridueña delves into the life and times of Part One with exclusive essays on growing up in Spanish Harlem in the 70s and 80s, the mid 70s style writing developmental years, The Death Squad years and the legendary Hall of Fame New York. With foreword by Carlos “Mare 139” Rodriguez and exclusive, unpublished images from Part’s 70s and 80s train writing days along with more recent works. This is a historical gem not to be missed “.

If you googled “Black I” on the internet, you would be hard-pressed to find any info about this Toronto M.C. who passed away before he received his proper due…

When I first heard this song (No Laws) in 1996, I knew for a fact that I was hearing some NEXT SHIT !!!!! The way he rhymed was absolutely crazy, and his flow was 100 % original…I have been on a mission for over ten years to find anything he has released . If you guys out there have some hidden Black I treats, or any stories about the man, please don’t hesitate to shoot me some information…

So without further delay- here is one of my personal classics….

“No Laws”- From the Beat Factory Rap Essentials compilation…

And just to keep it 100—peep this video for “Where I’m From”…

* This is a re-post from over a year ago….

Alright folks, I’m back on the set to hit you off with that BATTLEFIELD steam….

This cut right here by D-Law & The Bounty Hunters (The Gutta Remix), is sure to cause pandemonium if it is played at a loud volume in a public area…..If you don’t believe me-go ahead and try it if you think I am bullshitting..

Beats by Broileroom Productions, on the Touch Bottom label…….1994 RAW SHIT !!!!!!!

Last Friday my girlfriend of six years and I, welcomed our first child into this world….”Jahmel Nesta” is his name and he was a whopping 9 pounds (Talk about living large)….

Words can’t express how it feels to be a father…..The last couple years have been extremely rough for my family: My younger brother “Damion” passed away and within a year I lost my father as well……..So to have an actual birth instead of another death, gives me the courage to try my best to be a good example for my son/sun…….

Don’t get it twisted- everything is going to remain raw on HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD…..Matter of fact, I am more focused than ever and I plan on keeping the grime alive (This is grown folks B.I.)

HAHAHAHAHA….

So check back on Wed-Thursday for your regular Hip Hop fix on the BATTLEFIELD…….Big up to all my peoples-you know who you are……

And to all the kiddies out there “HEY YOUNG WORLD, THE WORLD IS YOURS”……

Respect-
D

The Beat Nuts take us on a wild journey through the streets of Jerusalem for this hilarious clip….AWWW MAN, I laughed for about five minutes straight after watching this….

Be on the lookout for their upcoming album ,”Planet Of The Crates”……..(Damn that title sounds familiar doesn’t it,HMMMMMMM)

Funny how some dudes tried to front on Das Efx, and act as if their style was a gimmick…….I always thought that one of the key elements in Hip Hop was originality….Your supposed to bring something different to the table, STUPID !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!….

Who else was making videos in the motherfucking sewer ?

Instead of all that glittery shit, Das always kept it dirty so I will always give them respect for that…….Also, they were apart of the best concert that I have ever seen in my life, “The Hit-Squad” tour in the early 90’s….

I’m talking about Redman, Das-EFX, K-Solo, D.J. Scratch & E.P.M.D. when they had the globe in the palm of their hands……

Paul Arnold (Hip Hop DX) sat down with the duo to see what they are up to in the 21st century……..YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS THIS……..Two thumbs up….

TUNE IN…

Help “Duck Down” celebrate 15 years of getting it in, and purchase one of these flavorful Summer time tees if you know what’s best for you…
