Well it looks like the big homie, ” Phil Most Chill ” is off hiatus….Last weekend he dropped the very impressive ” Beautiful ” mix..If your looking for some quality selections to get you through the work week, I suggest you swoop this up JACK !!!!!
Here is what Phil had to say regarding the project…
” I was at the Old Country Buffet (one of my favorite eating spots- I’m cheap) awhile back and I noticed one of the employees, a barely legal if even legal at all young dude, hitting on a customer, a cute late 30-ish older woman. She rebuffed his advances, claiming that she was too old for him. Young dude, undeterred, stared her in the eye and calmly replied “I know what I like.” Gotta give it to the youngin’- swag for days.
That’s kinda how I feel about psych rock, which is my current favorite genre of music to listen to. I probably don’t really know a damn thing about psych- every time I look up info on a psych album online, the reviews rarely sing the praises of the songs on the album that I like the most. They’ll talk about the genius of some song on the lp that I’m not familiar with, then I’ll go back to the record to listen to this song and be like WTF is this? Obviously I’m not hearing it from a true psych enthusiasts’ perspective. Which I guess makes sense, since I’m a black first generation Hip Hop dude… I didn’t grow up on Zep or Sabbath or the Beach Boys or Zappa or even Hendrix. I grew up on James Brown and Earth Wind & Fire and Stevie Wonder and the Furious 5.
Yet and still, I know what I like. Music with soul, music that touches you somewhere deeper than the epidermis. And any real music head knows that soul isn’t just found on albums that have pics of dudes with afros on the jacket. I hear the soul in Aretha Franklin but I also hear it in Rachmaninoff’s 2nd. In fact, “hear it” isn’t the best way to put it- I feel it. That’s what music is all about, man… people can tell you all day that this is the hot schitt, this is what’s banging now, whateva whateva, but it doesn’t matter. Music isn’t a popularity contest, it’s not about soundscan numbers, it’s only about what you feel or don’t feel. No matter what I say about something being THATREALSCHITT, if you can’t feel what I’m feeling then it’s a waste of time even trying to explain it.
So anyway, enough of my yadda-yadda-ing. Yes, it’s true- I’m dropping another new Soulman mix a mere three days after the last new Soulman mix. Guess the hiatus is officially over, eh? This one, entitled Beautiful, basically picks up where The Truth Is Forever left off. Just playing a bunch of soft, mellow psych songs that I really love. Familiar folky stuff that the Vashti Bunyan and Linda Perhacs fans out there may already know and love but also some other very nice tunes that only the most hardcore psych dudes are gonna be hip to. This joint may be too light for the more gnarly real schitters, and my Hip Hop real schitters can probably just fuggetaboutit, but I’m hoping folks will dig this (Beautiful Pt. 2 and maybe even Pt. 3 are on deck already, so if y’all are feelin’ it more will be dropped ASAP). Thanks for listening “.
" Soul Power Shit "
” Skeme Richards ” (RSC) comes correct on his $2 Dollar Soul Show podcast…Instead of playing a bunch of breaks you have probably heard numerous times, he flips the script, and dishes out heavy, rare grooves to keep your ears on alert mode…
So pump up the volume, and prepare for a massive dose of explosive soul power…..POW.POW..
" Comedy Central "
Ed Lover is finally back with his newest edition of ” C’mon Son “…..On this go-round he disses your boy Shaq, Rhianna, N.J. Nets, Tiger Woods, etc…
Somebody give this man a god damn T.V. show again…..
" 5 Tuesday Sureshots "
Here are five joints that are sure to cause pandemonium if played at a loud volume….Big up to everyone that stops by HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD on the regular, it is appreciated duke….
1…” Godfather Don “- Seeds Of Hate…..With a title like ” SOH ” how can you really go wrong ?…Hateful is exactly what this ” GD” produced burner sounds like…Not many producers can flex this well on the mic device….
To this day I still get chills up my spine when I put this record on the turntables…
2….” Bignous ” – Just Not My Style…….Oakland’s Hobo Junction dropped some very flavorful gems in the mid/late 90’s, and this is one of them fool…” All in your town / I’m dropping bombs before your planes get off the ground “…
SAY WORD…..
3..” Tommy Gunn & Ray Long ” – $5 Dollars In Change……..God damn, this is just some wild, raw, angry ass Hip Hop….The whole entire approach is very original ( lacking heavy these days )….At first you might mistake this for some badly mixed down psycho-babble….
But after further examination, I am quite sure you will realize this is no fucking joke…
4…” Souls Of Mischief ” – Tour Stories…..For over 15 years ” SOM ” have managed to stay together, and drop decent material on the masses ( Who said money and friendship don’t mix )….On this heavily detailed song they definitely do their thing…
5…” Holocaust Frost ” – Mind Is A Universe….I’m at a loss for words when it comes to joints that are this fresh….All I have to say is, you better CHECK THE FUCK IN…..
" Tuesday Treats "
Mr.Funk What Ya Heard stopped by my manz radio show ( Riff Raff-Global Underground ), to bless the airwaves with some Hip Hop heat…
This mix is all of the dome with no set playlist, what you will be hearing is a straight up live set….On the second half of the show ” Riff ” hops on the decks for a truly unique, sound excursion as well…
Good work fellas….
" Top 50 AF1’s "
Besides being a dope D.J., ” Clark Kent ” is known worldwide for being a AF1 aficionado….He linked up with Complex magazine to drop his top 50 AF1’s of all time for all the kick fiends out there…
I was a little surprised by his #1 spot, but it’s all preference I guess…
" Future Classics & Past Rarities "
This mix by ” D.J.Sav-One ” rocks joints by Pharoahe Monch, Grap Luva, Illa J, Ed.O.G., Milano, etc…Good lookin ” Sav ” for sending this my way…
No playlist this time around duke…

" The End Of A Era "
After 35 years of holding down the fort for the Hip Hop nation, Technics will cease production of the 1200’s & 1210s in February 2110…I guess it’s time to stock up on extra pairs before the prices get out of control..
" Jacking For Beats 2009 "
I’m not going to sit around and act like I know about the in & outs regarding this situation, but one thing is for sure, ” Smiley The Ghetto Child ” is mad at somebody….
TUNE IN…
