This is some classic shit right here……Anybody remember when “Alladin” and “Miz”, battled on “Yo’ M.T.V. Raps?…………..In my opinion “Alladin”, got jerked in the N.M.S. battle……….They both were ill for that time, but it’s hard not to notice “Miz’s” needle trouble…………….And the line switch cutting is classic, as well………{And yes that is M.C. Serch}…..HeHeHe

When it comes to Hip Hop names, I have heard it all, from “Black Spade” to “Lil Half Dead”…………….And this trend of fools calling themselves “Lil” or “Young” is a little tiresome {don’t you agree}……….Anyway me and my manz “Rashad”, came up with the top ten worst Hip Hop names……..Peep….

1. Dru-Down…………Even though ‘Master P” bit that wack “Ice Cream” shit from him, his name still sounds jive as fuck……..

2. Big Bank Hank…………Everyone knows he is a biter as well……….He went straight from the pizza shop to “Big Bank Hank”, brother please……

3..Young M.C…………Here goes that young shit again…..What happens when your boy turns 50?……My bad, dude might just be 50 already……..Pow.

4..Kingpin Skinny Pimp………Google this brother, to see 4 yourself…….

5…..Ecstacy………….Yo, I always thought “Whodini” was fresh until that ,”Open Sesame” shit…………But that name “Ecstacy”, always puzzled me a little bit….HaHa…..

6…..Playa Hamm……..This brother was down with a crew called “Penthouse Players Clique”…….Eazy E and Quik were co-signers of this outfit………Come on fam, “Playa Hamm”………You know we don’t fuck around with that swine………

7…Suga T………….The fourth member of the “Click”, alongside D-Shot, E-40, and B-Legit……………..Ice-T beat you to the punch, what’s next “Sweet T”?…………By the way we do have a “Sweet T”…..Anyone remember “It’s My Beat”……..Funky

8….Lil White………He is down with “3-6 Mafia”, and he raps just like his name sounds…….Blam,blam

9…..Juicy J…………Another “3-6 Mafia” bad move……….No man should ever call himself juicy in Hip Hop……….That’s like calling yourself gay and available…….

10……2 Big M.C………….Nuff said………..
{Honorable mention}…..Duke Bootee, Dat Nigga Daz, Redhead Kingpin, Lil Sam, Big Bo, Flo-Rida {Florida get it}, Dolla, Young Ralph, insert name here………

D.J. Revolution just released a new album on September 16th entitled, “King Of The Decks”………….And you know he takes that “king shit” seriously…….Peep the tatoo on his forearm on the above pic………..Yeeeeaaahhhh motherfucker…………We all know Revolution is ill on the decks, but he has stepped up his production chops as well……………..He produced both of these joints…”Start The Revolution”, by Bootcamp Clik………And “School”, by Planet Asia………..Enjoy, and go buy his shit……Recommended {Class Of 86 Mixtape} and {In 12’s We Trust}……..100

1…..The first million dollar Hip Hop video was “M.C. Hammer’s”, Too Legit To Quit…………….You think shit is bad now, shit was bad back then as well……..

2….James Brown claimed the first artist to pay him for use of his samples was ,”M.C. Hammer”………….R.I.P. Godfather……

3…Ice T’s real name is Tracy Marrow …….

4…X-Clan’s “Proffessor X”, was the son of social activist, “Sonny Carson”……..R.I.P. Lumumba…….

5……Digable Planets won a Grammy for their first album………I have run into “C-Knowledge” several times and he is a cool brother……..Peace to him and Cashis in Philly…………

6….D.J. Premier is originally from Texas…………..

7…..The first Hip Hop video aired on M.T.V. was Run-D.M.C’s “Rock Box”……

8…Ice Cube’s real name is Oschea Jackson………

9……Chi Ali is in prison for murder…………….This shit was even aired on “America’s Most Wanted”

10…..Drasar Monumental is no joker when it comes to this Hip Hop…….So don’t try to fuck around with me……………These facts are just off my dome…….No googling, or any extra shit…………..Peace to all them Hip Hop factology cats………..100

What up my peoples?……Prodigy has been locked up for almost 7 months now…….It’s really a shame because his new album {H.N.I.C. 2} gave him plenty of momentum to do big things……………….This joint is off “Big Twinz” new album {Grimy Collection}
it’s called “Sold My Soul”, featuring Prodigy………Free P…..

I was just talking to my peoples {ShyeerAllah}, and I told him ‘Yellowman”, is coming to town……..He tried to crack jokes on “Yellowman”, and said “He didn’t know too much about him”………………..For the record, “Yellowman’ is no joke……..After Bob Marley died “Yellowman” hit the scene, and became Jamaica’s biggest artist 82-85……….He was born as a albino, and concidered a outcast………But that didn’t prevent him from displaying his natural talent {mic wrecking}…………..Sunsplash wouldn’t have been Sunsplash, without “Yellowman”……..”Sting” wouldn’t be “Sting”, without “Yellowman”………..And their is no way dancehall would be what it is today without “King Yelloman’…………….Check his album with “Fathead”, it is a essential example of mic control, breath control, and crowd control………Also “Yellowman” has been sampled by countless Hip Hop producers…”Dr.Dre” sampled him on “Nobody Move”….Nice and Smooth on “Zunga Zeng”, I will just stop there…………….Respect….

You know what it is…….And if you don’t, you are about to know……..These are my top ten joints in my I-Pod……Yeah duke, I buy records but I still freak my I-Pod……..Some joints are new, and some older, but all of them are flavorful………P.S. To that sneaky ass coward who stole my last I-Pod, get ready for some black anger………. Bitch……….{In no particluar order}

1. Muggs and Asia–“Pain Languge”—–Music to set off a bloody fight….Asia sounds real good on this type of production…Pow…Pow..

2..Elzhi—“Boomerang Slang”——–Wow, this some fly shit….Marvin Gaye chops, under some ill wordplay……Kinda older,but who gives a fuck……

3…MF.Doom—“Can’t Reform E’m———-Doom is talking crazy shit in here…Palestine/Israel conflicts, warfare, all types of shit….Did I mention the beat is a scorcher…….Damn..

4…Onyx—–“I’ll Murder U”——-The way Sticky sets this shit off, makes me actually want to physically harm someone……Clack, clack….

5..Statik Selektah {feat. Termanology and A.G.}———–Butter baby, strictly butter…{No Homo}..Nuff said…..

6…Tragedy and Imam Thug—-“Illuminati”—–I have been playing this for over ten years, and I still get angry when I play it…….Hardrock shit…

7…Madlib—-“The Message”………This beat is simply perfect…..

8..Camu Tao—-“Hold The Floor”—-R.I.P. Camu…….I have always loved this song…..Bugged loops, banging drums, and wild personality…..Original hardcore….R.I.P. Prizm……..So much potential, sad…….

9…Cappadonna—-“Don’t Turn Around”………..Cappa really speaks his mind on this joint……The beat is fresh as well….Soulful….

10….Onyx {featuring X-1}……’Candyman”…..R.I.P. X-1 {sticky fingers brother}……….X-1’s flow on this is dope……Spooky..

On a recent trip to my favorite record store {Amoeba Records}, I was astonished at the lack of current Hip Hop 12 inches………..This had never happened before…..I have been going there on a constant since 1999, and I alway’s walked out of there with a gang of new shit……..I know, I know, your probably thinking why and the hell is this fool still buying records?……It’s because my father was a D.J., and I have a sentimental relationship with wax………..And it just sounds better than Serato to me…If I didn’t have between 8000-10,000 {stopped counting} records to fuck around with, Serato would of been my obvious alternative………..This is no diss to my Serato rocking D.J.’s……..Some of my closest friends are monsters on that Serato shit…….I just never really felt the need to abandon certain traditions that were passed down to me {Diggin}………..But if my last trip 2 “Amoeba”, is a indicator of what’s to come………”Mr Keep Vinyl Alive”, might have to rethink some things…………………

Ayatollah is a very underrated producer………..I can’t seem to figure out why, because the brother has released some serious heat over the years……..From his work with “Tragedy” and “Imam Thug”………..To his work with ‘Mos Def”, and many others….Ayatollah has always kept it gritty……………..Salute…Check for his new album coming out September 30, entitled “Drum Machine”…..

First of all I gotta say R.I.P. J-Dilla…………………..And the last thing I have to say is, this is simply incredible…………..

What the fuck is going on with these R N B cats these days? ….. I miss singers like “Marvin Gaye”, “Al Green”, “Teddy Pendegrass”, etc……….These new singing cats just beg for the booty with no class whatsoever………In my opinion your boy R. Kelly stole Aaron Hall’s whole shit…….Voice, image, style, everything………………..Anyway Funk Master Flex has some angry words for Mr.Kels………….And even though Flex is known for accepting payola, I agree with him on this issue………………..Bang, bang

Say it with me fam….Remixxxxxxxxx…………Another installment in the remix department….Freaked, flipped, destroyed, dismantled, wrecked, blessed, smashed, by yours truly “Drasar Monumental”……..Big shout to my manz {No HOMO} Rashad…….

Butter Verses has been at it for awhile……….From his output with DeLaSoul, to his recent offerings alongside the “Green Llama” crew……..Dude has been getting it in……This is his new mixtape courtesy of HipHopGame.com …………..Download below…..100

Don’t get caught sleeping……You better check in…..Rest In Peace, “Frosty Freeze”

If you have been following Hip Hop Battlefield, you know I speak very highly of a brother by the name of “Black Dot”…….He used to be down with Tim Dog back in the days…………And since then he has released a couple books, D.V.D.’s, and has lectured extensively throughout the U.S………….Peep Black Dot in action….
