Crown City Rocker ” Raashan Ahmad ” dropped an album this year entitled , ” Soul Power “…..Instead of rocking with a live band, ” R ” get’s busy over sample chops from producers such as ” Kas One “, ” Woodstock “, ” Headnotic “, ” Ebo “, etc…
On this cut ( Mobstar Life ), producer ” Woodstock ” creates a very flavorful atmosphere….Summer time boogie shit….
Check in for yourself…
I have high hopes for their upcoming album ( Even though I wasn’t feeling that Robot joint too much )…
Check for it when it drops if you know what’s best for you…..And to my manz ” Big Matt ” in Chicago, get at me I lost your numbers….
Truth be told, Magic Johnson is my second favorite basketball player of all time ( Kobe Bryant is my # 1 pick ), but did you see him at the Michael Jackson tribute yesterday ?……Wow….
I couldn’t believe what I heard come out of his mouth..This brother had enough nerve to say ” One of my fondest memories of MJ is when we sat around and had a bucket of K.F.C. fried chicken together “..GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE FAMZ….
Are you crazy ?…The cameras are on you fool…The world is watching you, waiting eagerly for you to drop a jewel or two about this man’s life…And all you can come up with is a lame ass chicken eating story…Shame on you fam..
The next thing you know, every media outlet is talking about this K.F.C. comment and straight clowning….( What a suprise )..
I’m suprised the curtains didn’t close on Magic….I’m suprised he didn’t get hit in the face with a flying egg before he walked off the stage….I’m suprised cat’s are so brainwashed they didn’t even feel Magic was out of pocket….
You gotta give it up for Al Sharpton though…..Damn…He tore down the house when he yelled out to Michael’s kids, ” Their is nothing strange about your daddy, but their is something strange about the way your daddy was treated “…
I got motherfucking goosebumps when I heard that shit….
It’s time to let Michael rest ya’ll….He gave us a lifetime of music, isn’t that enough ?…..R.I.P.
” Modesty ” recently hit me up with this joint featuring Queens New Yorker, ” Nut- Rageous ” ( The Real Hip Hop Show Mixtape ).
You know how ” Modesty ” get’s it in….Doubles, blends, and a healthy dose of dirty Hip Hop…..Enjoy..
D.J. Booth . net recently dropped a interview with your manz ” Alchemist “….He talks about Beverly Hills, Prodigy, his new album,
twitter, and all types of other shit…
I want to thank the wonderful city of San Diego for blessing me with a fresh perspective for this summer…Palm trees, beaches, beautiful women, and a heavy amount of sunshine…It was so fuckin hot it felt like a brother was cooking in a microwave….
While I was there I ran into this cat , ” Mane One ” who has been holding it down on the decks since 93….He has spun at the ” Mighty 4 ” several times, and countless other B Boy battles…On his blog you can catch 30 minute mixes where he goes for broke.

Last week me and the Mrs. checked out Karriem Riggins, with special guest, Pete Rock at a spot called ” Yoshi’s ” in ” The Town “…… A.K.A. Oakland the ” City of Dope ” ……HAHAHAH..
Karriem is no slouch on the drums, I had no idea he was THAT dude on the sticks…Jazz drumming, Hip Hop style beats, broken beats, etc…..His vocabulary was extensive…
His backing band held it down without a fraction of a doubt…” Straight Ahead ” jazz cats with a wicked sense of timing and improvisation…( Amazing )..
What can I say about motherfuckin Pete Rock ?…..” Inspirational “…..” Deep Concentration “…..” Soulful ” would have to be the perfect word to describe how he got down….He played an assortment of beats from his massive catalogue with a couple suprises for good measure…
One of the illest parts of the night is when Karriem played drums while Pete dropped numerous cuts on the fly…I didn’t hear a single mistake during that whole entire segment ( even though it sounded like they were freestyling )…
All in all it was a dope event, with an appreciative crowd….Two thumbs up type shit…
Be on the lookout for upcoming releases from ” Karriem and Madlib ” ( Supreme Team )….
” Kaleidoscope ” is a beat tape project that ” Karriem ” put out awhile back….You better CHECK IN…
Peep ” K ” in action with the Ray Hargrove Quintet while your at it fool…..
1… ” Drasar ” is a acronym for DANGEROUS / RHYMES / ASSASSINATE / SUCKERS / AT / RANDOM ..
Yeah I’m one of those cats that rhyme, make beats, spin records, and dabble in graff…I used to have some nasty footwork back in 1984 too HAHAHA!!!!!!!!
2…Marley Marl’s first commercial release was, ” Sucker D.J.’s ” by Dimples D…( 1983 )..
3…One time ” U.M.C. ” member Hass – G, has been honing his production chops as of late..Crafting heaters for Ghostface ( Apollo Kids ), Inspector Deck ( City High ), and even 50 Cent ( Magic Stick )…So next time you spot a ” Phantom Of The Beats ” logo,keep in mind that the man behind it is your boy , ” Hass “…
4…Since I am on the ” U.M.C. ” tip, it should also be noted that ” N.Y. Oil ” is ” Kool Kim from the ” U “…..I know that was a little too easy….Number 5 will be a doozy for all you Hip Hop factology dudes…
5…This isn’t the first era that ” Guru ” hooked up with a cat named ” Solar “…..French M.C. ” Solaar ” collaborated with ” Guru ” on the Jazzmatazz project ( The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly )….I don’t know what the fuck he is saying, but he sounds on point to me…
7…Your boy Son Doobie also dabbles in the porno game. Can’t say that I have ever watched one of his jump off’s but, ” FunkDoobiest ” has a new album that you should cop ( Golden B Boys )…
CHECK IN
8…D.J. Premier’s sidekick on Series Radio/ XM “, King Of Chill ” is no joke on the production side of things..His resume is very impressive…” K.C. ” blessed M.C. Lyte with ” Cha, Cha, Cha “, ” Paper Thin ” etc..Countless joints for ” Alliance “, ” Audio 2 “,
and ” Positive K ” as well…Salute…
9…Vanilla Ice’s debut album ” To The Extreme “, has sold more than ” Rakim’s “, ” Kool G. Rap’s “, and ” Big Daddy Kane’s ” first albums combined….With over 7 million units sold, ” Vanilla Ice ” has one of the biggest selling Hip Hop ( if you can call it that ) records of all time……..WHAT A FUCKING SHAME !!!!!!!!!!!
10…James Brown died on Dec 25th, Aaliyah on August 25th, Left Eye on April 25th, and Michael Jackson on June 25th…..I was kinda flipping when I first found out about this one….Who knows if there is any real numerology science behind it, interesting nevertheless….R.I.P.
Straight from France comes this mixtape by ” D.J. Calhoun and Frankie Numi ” ( Take A Trip Inside My Thoughts )…As far as selections go, this has to be one of my top five favorite mixes of 2009….
Under the radar, Hardcore Hip Hop is the motif for this joint…I truly could not believe what the fuck I was hearing from beginning to end..
Quit wasting time and scoop this up PRONTO…
Hip Hop Battlefield put’s the official stamp of approval on this………Peace to ” HHCN “….

You already know who ” Kon And Amir ” are, so there is no reason to go into a long introduction explaining how this Boston duo get down…
Quality music selection is their forte, and this live mix at the ” Do Over ” is no exception..I wish I was there on the dancefloor when this went down…Damn…
Weekend heatery no doubt…
This was my birthday week so a brother has been out of the office for a couple days, but I’m back and I will hit you guys off with a crazy amount of shit for the remainder of the week…
First things first…Rest In Peace to Michael Jackson for real….I know this is a hardcore Hip Hop blog and all that, but I was very saddened to hear the news of his untimely passing…What’s even sadder than that, is the mainstream media’s coverage of the man many call the ” King Of Pop “…
Your talking about a cat that devoted everything to his craft…All I hear is real greasy talk about him by people that haven’t really accomplished shit in their own life…Even though he was found innocent in court, America turned their back on Michael and came up with dumbell titles like ” Wacko- Jacko ” and all that bullshit…Crazy…..Remember when Kat Williams and Eddie Griffith used to go on long tirades about Michael and try to clown ?……Well I was one of the cats that never laughed at that type of shit….
What’s so fuckin funny about clowning on another brother that helped raise your stupid asses…If I hear another cornball joke, I’m going to straight up look that bozo in the eye, and diss the fuck out of them….
Whatever happened to respect ?…Who has done more for race relations internationally than Michael ?…I remember when MTV wouldn’t barely show a black face on their network, until Michael’s record company hemmed them the fuck up….Michael practically built MTV……
It really comes down to motherfuckers not respecting a black man’s music…You can’t even believe the level of ignorance that I have been subjected to since he passed…..It’s a damn shame that this brother couldn’t have peace while he lived, but what’s even worse, that even in death, he is still under heavy attack….
I could go on forever but I won’t…..
Isaac Hayes, James Brown, and now Michael Jackson…..Things will never be the same….NEVER…It’s going to take years for people to grasp the magnitude of losing someone like Michael….
So before you pop off with some lame jokes, think about what you are saying….Think about what YOUR contribution is to humanity….Think before you judge someone that you don’t even know on a personal basis….Think about how Michael changed up this whole shit and rearranged what it means to be a artist….
Think about how America eats it’s young, and how they discard what’s left of you after they have milked everything that they can…Think about his family. who are probably in a state of shock like everyone else…
Think about his monumental musical contribution to the world….THINK……
For this mix I decided to try something a little different, so I headed over to ” Mr. Funk What Ya Heard’s ” crib to get it poppin.But he has Serato and I never really fucked around with it like that ( My record collection is massive enough for me to cause much damage )..
What your about to hear is a off the top of the dome mix blessed by yours truly.I had a lot of fun with Serato, it’s a lot different than what I thought it would be.It’s just another tool that can be flipped well if you have your head screwed on straight..
If your a good d.j. with wax, you’ll still be a good d.j with Serato…If your a wack ass, unseasoned d.j with wax, you’ll still be a wack ass, unseasoned d,j. with Serato….
Who knows if I will ever pick one up…I still need more time on one to experiment and try a couple more things..
Good lookin ” P ” for allowing me to catch a little wreck at your casa..
Here is the playlist…Enjoy..
1..Termanology- ” Baking Soda “
2..Large Pro- ” Hardcore: Small Pro Remix “
3..Mobb Deep- ” M.O.B. “
