Take a close look at how M.O.P. gets down for their crown…Yeah we like it raw ( No Question )…

I didn’t really start checkin for ” Phat Kat ” until I heard ” Don’t Nobody Care About Us “…Something about that song had me in a trance for quite sometime..That beat is one of ” Dilla’s ” best ( In my opinion ), it’s very simple and minimal, but very complex and dense at the same time…

And as far as ” Phat Kat ” on the mic, the best word to describe his style is aggressive..He stands out in this day and age because most mc’s I hear in 2009 sound like sensitive, whispering fruitcakes…It’s not very often that you hear hungry, convincing cats anymore…

D.J. Design put together a mix of all ” PK ” material awhile back and the results are very flavorful….You know what to do cousin..

PEEP

It looks like the ” Chef ” can actually cook up more things than the obvious..Peep how Raekwon gets his Chef Ramsey on and blesses us with his culinary prowess..Cuban Linx 2 dropping soon ( I hope )..

Jay Glaze dropped this incredible mix back in 2004..When it comes to originality this one runs the gamut..You can’t really compare this to other break mixes out there..Matter of fact I don’t even know if I would classify this as a breaks mix, it’s more like a soundtrack to a extremely bizarre acid trip..

Check for the ” M.F. Doom ” tribute section..A musical collage rocking original samples from some of the metal faced villains choicest cuts..Here is what ” Egon ” ( Stones Throw ) had to say regarding this project, ” It’s the bomb..M.F. wouldn’t even give me my copy back “, while Bobbito Garcia added ” The pace of this mix is unlike anything I have ever heard “.. D.J. Yoda and Dan Greenpeace labeled the project ” absolute genius “…

So quit stalling, swoop up this joint PRONTO….You just might be suprised..

Even though I like a lot of the music that I hear nowadays, 1988 is one of my favorite years for Hip Hop..So much fly shit came out in that year that it was ridiculous…

For instance this joint by ” T.D.S. MOB ” ( Dope For The Folks ) should cause pandemonium if played at loud volumes..” Kool G “, ” Devon B “, and ” D.J. Michael K ” didn’t get the shine they deserved, but they definitely made their mark..In later years ” Kool G ” changed his name to ” Cool Gzus ” and cliqued up with Boston’s, ” Made Men “…

This song wasn’t released in 88 but it rocks a 1988 theme…” 88 Soul ” by Superstar Quam- Allah is off of his new album ” Invisible Man “..Hip Hop Battlefield give’s this cut the two thumbs up…Check in for yourself cousin..

The weekend is under way and the sun is back in effect..Every Hip Hop super hero needs some dramatic theme music to get into that certain zone..So without further a do, here comes the DRAMA..

Shorty Long ” Purple Rain “—Cocaine is a hell of a drug and I don’t condone the sale, or consumption of this narcotic..But when coke rap sounds this good how could you front ? This has been around for awhile and I feel like a sucker for not getting around to it until yesterday..With production from D.I.T.C. affiliate ” Ahmed “, Shorty Long ( GOES IN ) kinda heavy…

Tony D ” Trenton Psychiatric “—A instrumental banger by the great ” Tony D “. I could put this type of joint on repeat for half of the day ( It’s that funky )..R.I.P. Tony Depula, you will be missed…

Mr. X. and Mr.Z ” We Drink Old Gold “—I hardly even drink alcohol anymore..After poisoning my liver for too long, I decided 5 years ago to simmer down a little bit ( but the majority of my ninjas are raging alcoholics ).. Something about this song makes me want to tap the bottle and twist the cap ( I wont though )…Classic shit right here homeboy..

One Leg Up Records are back on the set with more of that hidden gems flavor..This time around you will be blessed with ” Pete Rock ” and ” C.L. Smooth ” sessions before their debut release ( All Souled Out )..Only 200 copies will be available, get yours while you can duke…

SIDE A:
01. “The Midnight Wrecka”
02. “Cool and Calm”

– SIDE B:
01. “Go C.L.”
02. “Down To Move Ya Body”
03. “Go With The Flow [Alternate Mix]”

All songs produced by Pete Rock

HERE’S THE SNIPPETS

” Killa Sha ” used to be in a group with ” Craig G ” and ” Tragedy ” ( Supa Kids )…Eventually he started another crew ” Killa Kids ” with ” Mr. Challish “, ” Mr. Ruck “, and one time Flipmode affiliate, ” Baby Sham “..In 1996 they put out their only commercial release, ” 96 Phenomenon ” a project full of that Q.B. gritty street talk…Here are a couple of highlights…

” Lyrical Flava “

” Freestyle “

” Shabaam Sahdeeq ” recently dropped a mixtape ( Relentless, hosted by Tony Touch, J Ronin and mixed by D.J. Snips ).It’s one of his strongest releases thus far..This time around he get’s a little help from ” Khrisis “, ” Blaq Poet “, ” Killa Sha “, ” Casual “, etc…You know what to do folks..

HOP BATTLEFIELD TOP PICKS–” Grimy Niggaz “, ” Connect 4 “, ” Snitches “.

When it comes to this blog shit, I try my hardest to bring something to the table that you won’t see on many other sites..If everyone is going to sit around and post the same music, what’s the point ?..And I am not saying this in a self- righteous / Hip Hop elitist kind of way..I am saying this with a common sense, anti- robot sentiment..

How many times have you ventured into cyber- space and seen the exact same shit everywhere ? You would figure that with the aid of the internet fools would be on their motherfuckin GRIZZLY.And some sites are ( without a fraction of a doubt ), but it is starting to look like PAYOLA is becoming a factor in the blog world.Don’t act like you don’t know what time it is famz..Last year for the first time in history, digital downloads outsold every other musical medium ( Records, C.D.’s, etc )..So you know what that means, record companies are on a mission to get a slice of that pie…

That’s why you see the exact same 20 songs everywhere you look..But you can rest assured that on HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD originality is a key factor over here..Many of the things that I post up are from my record collection just to even every thing out.

And with that being said, here is some truly original shit right here, ” Jamalski ” ( One time BDP Posse member )…When he came out in 92-93 you could tell he was one of those original styling cats…In later years he ventured into the Drum And Bass realm ( Which I wasn’t really digging ), but I still couldn’t front on him because I enjoyed his earlier work so much… SALUTE..

” Jump Spread Out ” ( CLASSIC ) With P. Lee on the production…

And ” Piece Of Reality “…This is my joint right here..
