9th Wonder just dropped this project last night ( 9th Wonder Invented The Remix Again ) and I highly suggest you swoop this up with a quickness…
Sometimes his beats get a little repetitive, but all in all ” 9th ” has blessed us with some firepower over the years…Also be on the lookout for a new ” Little Brother ” album in the near future…
It’s 1994 and I am high as a kite on some stress weed and a warm St.Ides 40 oz…….Tonight Public Enemy, The Fugees, and The Goats [remember those dudes} are performing………..Me and my crew are broke, pockets are looking shabby as fuck, but here we are……..Were chillin in the club parking lot and out comes “Wyclef”. I’m not really a ” Fugees ” fan, matter of fact we were there to see if we could see ” P.E.”……..
” Clef ” hits us up for some trees to blaze, we smoke, we crack jokes, and we end up starting a cypher right there…………No Lie………We hit Wyclef with our most brutal rhymes, punchlines, battle darts, multi syllable shit, the works…….Wyclef is stunned, Wyclef is caught off guard, Wyclef just got took out ya’ll………
Anyway he is so impressed he let’s us in the show for free……………..
The Fugees take a break during their set and invite mc’s up to the stage…….We bumrush the stage…….A couple kids try to rhyme, they wack…….I hop up there, tell the band to stop…..I wanna flip this shit acapella………
“Mayday,mayday,/ I lay more bodies to rest than Richard Ramirez in his heyday….”Don’t even bother, to step to this saga/ or you’ll end up like Michael Jordans father” OUCH….
The packed crowd is going crazy…I’m really rocking this shit….Lauryn is watching me, she’s bobbing her head…I’m killing it………….Next thing you know Flavor Flav is on stage, in my face, yelling at the top of his lungs……”Fuck you, I know Michael Jordan, ya’ll niggers are over”……..He is in my face, the crowd is screaming, I want to knock Flavor Flav the fuck out, I was a teenager at the time, and he was probably in his late 30’s- early 40’s but I still wanted to put him in a yoke..
I love P.E., they are one of my favorite groups, but I gotta knock Flav the fuck out {Imagine that}…..I look past Flav’s shoulder and I spot the S1W ‘s {Deep}………..I am not knockin anyone out, time to part this crowd like the red sea, and get the hell outta here……………………Flavor Flav sonned me, and 16 years later I kinda regret not beating him down….TRUE STORY..
Truth be told, ” Del ” deserves more shines for his contribution to this thing we call Hip Hop…I wasn’t really feeling that “Gorillaz” shit, or that “Deltron” project with the Automator all that much, but he has plenty other releases that I give the thumbs up..
I Wish My Brother George Was Here, Future Development, Catch A Bad One, and some of his newer work properly showcase his off-kilter approach to crafting songs ….He is a true original….Who and the fuck sounds like ” Del ” ?..
Exactly…..No one…And contrary to popular belief, originality will always prevail over your average copy-cat type of M.C.’s…( I will write more about that in my book, stay tuned HAHAH )…
Anyway, here is a live performance by “D” back in 2002…Over an hour of Hiero goodies..
* My favorite quote—–“Give it up for Jam Master J, if ya’ll don’t give it up for Jam Master Jay I’m walking off this fucking stage right now”…….
I hear ya my brother !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m not quite sure what happened to ” A.C.D. ” ( Ammo & A-Dog ), they had a song on Soul Assassins volume one ( Street Life-with Mobb Deep ) and some other features, after that I stopped hearing as much from them…
You already know what is; Queensbridge boulevard bully rap….CHECK IN..
They don’t call ” Muro ” the king of diggin for nothng motherfuckaaaaa….This time around ” Muro ” invades the vaults of the prestigious ” Stax ” record label..
I can’t believe how many quality mixes ” Muro ” has put out…Add this one to his ever-expanding catalogue…DO NOT SLEEP..

Ed Lover is back with some more comedy for ya’ll….He cracks jokes on the Grammy’s, The Dream, Greg Oden, The Game, etc….
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….
” Crime Rolls “……Al Green flipped the right way….
” Combo # 3 ” featuring Sosh B Cardi & Foley…WOW….This is just dirty….Don’t sleep…
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….
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 !!!!!!!
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-
Afu-Ra – Do you want it (from OST Whole Train, produced by Florian Gaag – highly recommended!!!)
Major Stress – More and more
Sick Lyrical Damager – It’s over
People Without Shoes – Evil for eternity (Remix)
Greyboy – Freestylin’
The Pharcyde – My soul
Ghetto Philharmonic – Don’t bite the concept (94 Remix)

Drama Klub – Hear no evil
The Roots – It just don’t stop
Ras Kass – Miami life
Chop Shop – The tribute (Outro)
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….
