” Justice League’s ” Cesar Comanche, just dropped a new cut ” Hands High ” with 9th Wonder on the production….I know I have heard this sample before, Hmmmmm….Oh yeah, Pete Rock flipped the same shit on ” Petestrumentals “….Anyway, this is the lead single from his upcoming ABB Records album ” Die In Your Lap “……..
When it comes to this remix shit, I go through a editing process that is somewhat time consuming…..Sometimes I will make ten versions before I decide to blog one of them up…..This week’s remix is a song called ” God Bless Ya Life ” by the Ill Biscuits….The original version is dope in it’s own right, but I decided to slow the tempo down and give it my own melancholic/dusted feel…..I made ten other versions of this joint, but this one is the winner….
You know how ” Shortkut ‘ get’s down…..This mix should get your week started off in the right direction….Download immediately if you know what’s good for ya….{ Classic shit }
Here is a ” Pete Rock ” joint featuring ” Meccalicous ” that just got released from the vaults…..Little is known about ” Meccalicious ‘, but I do know there are a couple other joints of his floating around…..The name of this cut is ” How You Feel ” 1997….Big up to ” TRF ” for always keepin it fresh of course….

The first time I ever heard the word ” Steelo “, was on this joint right here “Causin A Menace rmx ” by the ” Dreadknots “…..M.T.V. Raps used to give this a little burn, but I don’t think a full length album was ever released by these cats…..I wonder if they are sitting on a stash of music recorded from this period ?…..It would be interesting to hear what else they have to offer, ” The Anthem ” is the only other cut I have heard from this mysterious B.K. outfit……If anyone has more music by ” Dreadknots “, get at me…
Everyone is a Hip Hop critic these days…But the strange thing is, 9 times out of 10, the motherfuckers doing the dissing have never been on a stage in their entire life…….On the real, if you think someone is wack, run up on that man and tell him to his face…” Hey good morning ?, how are you doing ? , your new album sucks, you sound like you are reaching homie “…. That’s the honorable way to go about it….Not getting on your computer and acting like you are some type of Hip Hop gatekeeper…. In my opinion these types of actions are corny, and that’s why I had to dead the ” Sucker Of The Week ” column….But if I was going to post for ” SOTW ” today, it would go something like this…..{ R.I.P. }
1…Bruce Springsteen’s performance at the Super Bowl—-This was single handedly, the worst performance I have ever seen in my fucking life….And I am not clowning on him because he is old { after attempting a knee slide, Bruce could barely stand up } , unflavorful, and has less soul power than Michael Bolton { imagine that }….I am clowning on him because he can’t sing, can’t dance, and can’t hold it down fam…..Bruce started his performance by yelling ” Stop eating your guacomole dip, put down your chicken tenders, and let’s rock “….Nah homie, I am not rocking with you……..Embarrassing….
3…Mix-less Mixtapes { Insert D.J. name here }—-Just because you compile a bunch of songs, doesn’t mean you have a mixtape on your hands…Blending is the foundation of party rocking. Without that, you just put yourself in the ” Jukebox ” category….Get your mind right and get your blends up….
4…..R.I.P. ” Sucka Of The Week “——A sucker is born every minute, but why should I focus on them ?….I have beats to make, records to find, and a abundance of good music to digest….Instead of wasting time tearing apart the next man, we should be channeling that energy into making funky music……100
These are the two best cuts off of the ” Blaq Mobb ” mixtape…..” The Way You Make Me Feel ” and ” Son Of A Gun ” { Produced by Sincere Noble }…100
The reason why I still check for ” K.R.S.- One “, is because he is one of the most thorough cats to ever grace the stage….Period….If you have ever seen him perform, or drop heavy science at lectures, you know what I am talking about…When most rappers are scared to death to speak the truth, ” K.R.S. ” embraces the truth, and has never held his tongue for anyone….
On this clip below, ” K.R.S. ” goes in on ” Obama “, 911, etc…..You need to check this out people….
Out of all the shit that I have posted on this blog { approaching 400 post } my remixes appear to be getting the most burn…If you dig in the crates of ” Hip Hop Battlefield “, you will spot one of my remixes every week…I recommend you give those a listen if you haven’t already….I will post up more A.S.A.P. { My stash is kinda thick homeboy } ….And on that note, it’s only right that I post up one of my favorite remixes of all time….The ” Buckwild ” remix of ” Damn ” { The Liks }……The original wasn’t half- bad, but the ultra- smooth vibe of ” Buck’s ” version takes the cake……Inspirational indeed…
This is the first single off of ” The Connection’s ” digital album, ” Take It Higher ” { Produced by Van Cal }….Even though they flipped the same sample that ” ATCQ ” used on ” Lyrics To Go “, I am still kinda feeling this track….Be on the lookout for their full length, ” Trapeze ” out now on ” Domination Recs “…
This is a mixtape from ” Flux ” of ” BINKIS RECS ” fame…This 9 song joint features production from ” Madlib “, ” Zo “, ” Willie Evans Jr “, etc……R.I.P. JAX…..
I recently listened to a session with ” Count Bass D ” flipping samples on a M.P.C. live….As far as chops go, he was kinda crazy with it…A little TOO choppy for my taste, but I definitely appreciated how he was taking it to the extreme, and trying to take it somewhere else…If ” CBD ” is in your town, I suggest that you CHECK IN…

Some people might be quick to diss ” A Trak ” because of his ” Kanye West ” affiliation, but truth be told, the kid never was and will never be a joke on the turnatables…..And his production for ” Obscure Disorder ” a while back, was very funky and advanced for his age as well….I’m not quite sure what his set playlist is like these days, but if he sticks to his roots it should be pretty fresh……

This 1980 performance of ” Afrika Bambaataa ‘ and the ” Zulu Nation “, is as live as it gets…Echo chambers, syncronized party routines, and a copious amount of breaks are thrown into the mix….Major respect to ” OSHHT ” for seriously holding it down…
This is that shit, download immediately…
ENJOY
