My Zulu brother straight from Bucktown , ” Sen One ” has a blog that you should peep when you get the chance….He is a real creative cat that stay’s on top of his Hip Hop…I see you ” Sen “, thanks for checking the Battlefield on the regular my dude…Peace akhi, see you in San Diego…( Photo courtesy of Joe Conzo : YA HEARD ME )

CHECK IN

When I interviewed ” Paris ” on my radio show back in 2001, it wasn’t hard to tell that he is a brother that keep’s it moving…While I was stuck on talking to him about his past accomplishments, it appeared that he was focused on the future, new technologies,
stocks and bonds, economics, and his website GUERILLA FUNK..( Which is very thorough by the way )

When it comes to west coast hardcore Hip Hop, ” Paris ” deserves his daps..And to this day he still represents that anti -establishment, intelligent, thought provoking, independent, protest theme music type shit…

This tour looks like it is going to kick up some dust….If they roll through your city you know what to do..

This clip is dedicated to all my conspiracy brothers out there…..I have been yelling this same exact shit for the longest, but nobody fuckin cares…Hip Hop Battlefield put’s the stamp of approval on this one..Funny, sad, but ultimately TRUE..( You have to watch this )…

After listening to this project I just had to shake my head in disbelief…This shit is just straight up and down crazy…Lo- Fi gutter beats, Jim Henson themes, distorted, bugged out illness..I slept on this when it first came out because the album cover didn’t really catch my attention….

One of the songs that blew my head off was # 12, ” Llamas “…” Selfish “, ” Tone Liv “, and ” Decay ” slaughter this track…If your one of those cats really checkin for that next shit, look no further, this song is wild…

You don’t want to snooze on this one homeboy…This is one of the strangest albums I have heard in quite sometime…..{ Shout out to my Chicago connection , ” Selfish ” for looking out }

This cut by ” M Dot ” ( Featuring Singapore Kane and Trademark ) should make your ears perk up a little bit..” You Won’t Get It ” was produced by up and comer ” Explizit One “…..Yeah, I’m feeling this joint…Two Thumbs up..

You know the phrase, once again ” IT’S ON “….This week I’m going to bless ya’ll with two remix versions…One version is more on the ” SLAP EM UP ” tip..And the other is a unorthodox, strange time signature, sunplash type of joint..You know what it is and you know how I do it….All samples, all gritty, no bullshit, no additives or preservatives…

The acapella I flipped for the remix is from ” Inspector Deck ” ( Rec Room )..When it comes to ill lyrics, natural flow, and mic control, ” Deck ” always comes through in the clutch…The best pound for pound lyricist in the ” Clan ” in my opinion….He has dropped some of the flyest rhymes in Hip Hop history…PERIOD…

YOU BETTER CHECK IN…

Besides being one of the first writers for the ” Source “, Dan Charnas was VP ” A N R ” for Rick Rubin’s ” Def American ” label….He was a key figure in helping bring ” Chino XL ” and ” Kwest The Madd Ladd ” into the spotlight…

Check out his blog that is full of quality write ups and interesting observations…( The Tony D piece is a good place to start ) 100

PEEP

I’m not quite sure if this ” Blaq Poet And Noreaga ” collabo will be on the ” Blaqprint ” album, but it’s good to hear them rock together regardless..” The name of this cut is entitled , ” Hate ” and it’s produced by ” PPP Premier, D.J. PPPP Premier “…

What up you Hip Hop cyber freaks ? Monday is right around the corner and it’s time to bless ya’ll with some heat for your upcoming week….You know the motherfuckin drill homeboy…

” Oh Yeah, Skeff Anselm he get’s props too Ha Ha “……Anybody out there remember those famous words from ” Q-Tip ” ?…Many are unaware of ” SA’s ” musical contributions beyond engineering sessions for ” ATCQ “..He has also worked with ” Brand Nubian “, Diamond D “, ” Black, Rock, and Ron, ” Lord Finesse “, and recently crafted beats for ” Mos Def ” ..

” INQMND ” rocked a interview with ” Skeff ” that covers a lot of ground…CHECK IN FOR YOURSELF

Before I get into the this I want to send a big shout out to all the cats that send me music….For real it is appreciated. The only problem is, the majority of the shit ya’ll send me is straight butt cheeks…I don’t want to hear what ” Marky Mark And The Funky Bunch ” sound like in 2009….One cat that sent me music started off with ” Hi Draser “….Yo my dude, my name is ” Drasar- Drop Kick You In The Lip- Monumental “…..Yo the shit is somewhat flattering that you feel I am worthy to review your music and all that, but you guys are killing me with all this 3 stooges rap shit…….

So here we go folks…I posted this remix back in the summer of 08…One of my best beats in my opinion…And by the way, when you come to ” Hip Hop Battlefield ” don’t be afraid to dig around a little….Your boy has been posting for a minute, I’m quite sure you will find something so don’t sleep…

Nas- ” It Ain’t Hard To Tell Remix…….POW,POW,POW,BLAMZZZ

” Revolution ” goes for the jugular with this breakbeat bombshell mix….Sure you have heard a couple of these cuts before, but the way ” Rev ” flips them is ridiculous…So quit stalling, you know the motherfuckin drill….

Peep the ” Blastmater ” going in on the freestyle tip kid…..Looking forward to hearing his album on ” Duck Down “…100

In 1996 Camden New Jersey’s, ” Krown Rulers ” dropped a second album : ” Death Before Dishonor “. Why they waited almost 10 years after ” Paper Chase ” to release another album is a mystery to me… Regardless, the sophmore jinx scenario didn’t apply to ” KR ” because ” Death Before Dishonor ” rocked some heavy joints…

” Memories Of The Ruthless “, features ” Grand Pubah ” ( Now known as G-Law ) narrating tales of turf wars, shootouts, and revenge killings..You can tell by the way he spits his rhymes that he wasn’t too far from the mix of action….This is straight up raw Hip Hop with no apologies…

” Some Street Shit ” is just some all out, assault battle rap shit…It’s the kind of song you play before slapping someone upside the head..Check it out…

Even though ” Paper Chase ” is my favorite of the two records, ” DBD ” packs more of a new age ” STICK UP KID ” punch..If anyone out there in cyber space knows the 411 on ” Royal Rocker and Grand Puba/ G-Law ” in 2009, hit me up…

P.S. If you are having problems locating the div share box, click on comments, then hop back over to the post…..Then magically the div share box will appear….I don’t know what the fuck is going on with ” DS “, but the problem will be solved soon I hope….

Raekwon has a mixtape that he will be dropping in may…Here is a little taste of what the “Chef ” has been cooking up in his kitchen…The name of this cut is ” Whips And Kicks ” ….P.S. I know that is not A.Z. in the pic, but I had to rock it regardless..
