Now that Ed is back in the spotlight when is he going to put Dr. Dre back in the mix….HHHMMMMMMMMMMM..

Green Llama’s New Jersey representative “Tone Liv” hits us off with a couple burners from his album, “Superhero Sandwiches”…
His style is hard to describe….

One thing is for sure he doesn’t play games on the mic…

Shout out to manz ” Selfish “….

” The Mirror ” featuring B Stilt…This beat is just ridiculous….

DOWNLOAD

” Crime Rolls “……Al Green flipped the right way….

DOWNLOAD

” Combo # 3 ” featuring Sosh B Cardi & Foley…WOW….This is just dirty….Don’t sleep…

DOWNLOAD

Steffan Clemente A.K.A ” Mr. Wiggles ” ( Rock Steady Crew/UZN/ ) is a internationally known Hip Hop ambassador..For over two decades he has put in a tremendous amount of work…

Many are unaware that ” Wiggles ” is no slouch when it comes to production….On this breakbeat extravaganza he gives you a taste of some Bronx B-Boy flavor…

So roll out your linoleum, crank the ghetto blaster to ten, and let the rocking begin….

DOWNLOAD

Peep this podcast of Seattle crate digger extraordinaire, ” D.J. Supreme ” manhandling the decks a couple days back….He plays everything from well known Hip Hop cuts, renditions, breaks, etc…

This set is all the way live by the way….Enjoy

If you ever wanted to find out more about notorious gangsters such as Soundview’s ” Pistol Pete “, ” Pappy Mason “, ” Boy George “, ” The Real 50 Cent “, ” The Real Rick Ross ” etc…

Than you should head over to the Guerilla Convict blog….What the fuck does this have to do with Hip Hop you might ask to yourself ?…

1…..These cats were so influential that M.C’s started actually biting their names…

2…..The real 50 Cent was on the back of Eric B & Rakim’s classic album ” Follow The Leader “…

3…..I’m not going to spoil it for you, there are plenty surprises regarding Hip Hop on this blog JACK !!!!!!!

CHECK IN…

Here is a joint from the Scienz Of Life archive stash (Build With Me)…They bring Killerarmy rhyme slinger ” Baretta 9 ” into the fold to complete the attack…

Produced by 4th Disciple..

This mix comes all the way from Germany from the ” Bad Underground Sounds Crew ” ( Hip To The Jazz )….One thing that I noticed from the gate is that every song is mixed…I have to give them two thumbs up for that on general principle…

They also snuck in some under the radar joints that will perk your ears up a little bit…

Here is the playlist cousin-

Remember those infamous words from ” Flavor Flav ? ” ( Terminator X On The Edge Of Panic )….I do god damn it, and over twenty years later I believe in those words more than ever…

Fuck the Grammy’s !!!!!! Hip Hop was designed to go against the grain, nowadays cats are running to the mainstream for any type of hand-out they can get…

These are the nominees for best rap song…( What a fucking joke ).

Best Rap Song
Drake – “Best I Ever Had”
Kid Cudi – “Day ‘N’ Nite”
T.I. & Justin Timberlake – “Dead And Gone”
Jay-Z – “D.O.A. (Death Of Auto-Tune)”
Jay-Z, Rihanna & Kanye West – “Run This Town”

Don’t get it twisted….I didn’t expect the Grammy nominations to be on point in the first place, that would be ridiculous…I’m just disappointed that the bar has gone down so low……Justin Timberlake is involved in a rap nomination for christ sake…

WOW….Jay-Z nominated twice for two horrible songs….WOW….What the fuck happened to Jay-Z ?….. WOW..

I can still remember the days when Hip Hop got absolutely no love at the Grammy’s….Public Enemy, Fresh Prince, M.C. Lyte, etc
actually boycotted that shit in the late 80’s….They had the right idea….

WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT A GOD DAMN GRAMMY ?

* UPDATE—–Damn I turned to the Grammy’s just to see how they started the show….HHHMMMM, just like I thought, some more weirdo behavior…They opened up with Lady GaGa & Elton John….HAHAHAHA……

Time to turn on my sampler and get grimey….

For all the work 4th Disciple put in, you would think his name would get mentioned a lot more when cats are talking about top notch producers…

He goes straight to the vaults with this project (Best Of 740 Volume 1)…..

HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD TOP PICKS *

” The Fall “- featuring Shogun Assassin…..” CPC Theory “-featuring Black Bummy Juss, Big Tae…..” Time Passes “- featuring Agony…..” One Step ” – featuring Verb……..

Rock on….

Here are 5 joints to help jump start your Friday adventures…Boost the volume to ten, turn on your oscillating fan, grab a towel, and get ready for some flames…..

1. Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface- ” Our Dreams “..

For some reason I really like this joint..I can’t put my finger on it…If anyone else tried to rhyme on this type of joint I would most likely dismiss it…But somehow these three manage to make this Michael Jackson sample sound somewhat grimey..

DOWNLOAD

2. Third Sight- Murder, Death, Kill..

WOW….D-Styles, Du-Funk, and the San Jose rhyme monster ” Jihad ” bring that west coast hardcore to the set….If you slept on this heater when it first dropped, here is your chance to get right !!!!!

Tonight I’m going to be checking out turntable wrecker, ” D.J. Babuuuuuuuuuuuu”…..It’s the first time I have seen him when it wasn’t a battle-type situation…I hear he is going to flip more of a party-rocker type of set so that should be very interesting…

One of my homeboys grew up with him, so just maybe I can get some exclusive shit to bless the HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD posse with in the near future…( YA HEARD ME )…

Regardless, I will let ya’ll know how it all went down…

AUDI 5000….A-B-C- YAAAAA…..GHOST…..SWAYZEE….
