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
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..
” Melo- D ” is the ultimate when it comes to being a well rounded D.J. Trick mixing, doubles, cuts, blends…WHAT….Your boy can do it all live with no mistakes allowed…

Hailing from the city of Detroit, ” M.F. 911 ” were the first cats to rock M.F. in their title ( Zev Love X didn’t change his name to MF Doom until the mid to late 90’s, MF 911’s first album was in 1993 )…
And that first album, ” Idol : The Bloodsport ” features some very hardcore production from ” Ced Gee “….For some reason or the other many are unaware of this crew, but ” D.J. Muro ” rocked ” Get Open ” on his throwback mix with ” K – Prince ” a couple years back which has sparked a newfound interest in the group….
By 1993 standards ” M.F. 911 ” were a little ahead of curve……Find out for yourself..
( Product 19 )
( Get Open )
” Smooth ” is the best word to describe this ” Truly Odd ” production.” The Rules ” features rhymes from ” Strong Arm Steady Gang ” affiliate, ” Krondon “…It was released in 1998 on the Heavyweight label and the single received a descent amount of burn on mixtapes, college radio shows, etc…..
If your looking for the perfect beat to help kick off your spring time shenanigans, look no further you have just found your theme music….
” Ben Buford ” is one of the nastiest m.c’ s on the west side of things….The first joint I heard from him was the ” Exercise / Hitman 4 Hire ” 12 inch which features menacing production from L.A’s own , ” Truly Odd “…As far as west coast hardcore Hip Hop goes, this was a criminally slept on release….( Gun clap rap at it’s dirtiest )
In 2003 they clicked up again for ” Emcee Killer ” , it’s the type of joint that makes the perpetrators hit the panic button….You can hear it on ” D.J. Chorizo Funk’s ” mixtape.. ( Which is very flavorful )…..Here is the playlist..
1. Krs One – Get Yourself Up
2. Sean Price – Boom Bye Yeah

” Killer Ben ” is now rolling with ” Gold Chain Music ” ( Planet Asia, Turbin, Tri-State, etc )…They recently dropped a mixtape entitled ” Post War “…CHECK IN G
Drasar Monumental on the remix tip once again , JACK….I decided to construct a beat with no hi hats….Every time I hit up my sampler, I try my hardest to do something I haven’t done before….
This beat features psycho chops…..If you really listen closely you will hear all types of science going on…..Bass manipulation, odd arrangements, and a haunting breakdown makes this joint a keeper..The lyrics come courtesy of , ” Mission / Crown City Rockers”
…BLAM BLAM POW POW……” DIRTY HIP HOP WILL NEVER DIE “…….
The ” Green Llama ” crew consist of my manz ” Selfish ” , ” Vincent Price ” , ” Tone Liv ” , ” Dibiase ” , ” Butter Verses “, ” Decay ” , and the very dope producer ” Fluent “….If your sleeping on these cats, you need to get your mind right…
As a matter of fact the ” Uncut Raw ” album ( Selfish And Fluent ) put out last year, is one of the best releases of 08…..It’s a crying shame more people didn’t take notice because it truly deserves more recognition….Regardless, the ” Llamas ” are keeping it moving for the 2009 ….Check out this instrumental project ” Fluent ” just dropped ( All Natural : Music De Llama )……YOU BETTER CHECK IN JACK….
