Return of the Mac
the projects fucked me up
made me strong as an ox
made a nigga cold blooded
aint no friends on the block
just the comrades and co-d's

and crooked ass police
Bang On 'Em

The knock on Mobb Deep has always been that they are actors, couple of kids from the New York High School of Art and Design who decided to act hard and make gangster music. In fact, just before Jay-Z got ethered, he showed his appreciation for the arts or rather tried to disgrace the Mobb at summer jam 2001 by unveiling pictures of fourteen year old Prodigy tap dancing. HNIC addresses this occurrence on this throw away joint (links jacked from nahright.com, go over and search Prodigy to see eskay's take on the Ballerina P thing). The fact that Prodigy has an artistic background does not seem like a conflict of interest to me. Prodigy is able to speak about violence and poverty without over simplifying or glorifying it, perhaps this is because the pursuit of art elevated his own life to the point where he can look more objectively at the world around him. Whatever the reason, the Alchemist produced "Return of the Mac" bangs... Check the vids

GOD pt III

The Mobb released Hell On Earth later in '95 riding the coattails of there own successful sophmore effort, The Infamous ...
This video is telling about the direction of the group. Visually the brighter colors, and glossier jewels, tip off their move away from the grit and grime of their classic second album. Sonically you can hear them gravitating toward the bigger beats, and ultimately club marketability... but lyrically Havoc & Prodigy are still on point here. "Pay attention to the crime rhyme Houdini P" and how Havoc flips that little Doughboy steez with the last line...

STOP CRYING

Since Tupac got popped, who the fuck you think got The Juice?

MOP - Stand Clear

Its Valentines day... I've been snowed in all day. This song reflects my love life, or rather, lack there of. I've been pumping the mixed version from Z-Trip & DJ P. I posted below the entire mixtape below. Other highlights from the mix include track 18 but i cant tell you why, track 19 with a rendition of PE's "Bring the Noise", and "Phoney Phranchise" by Del (I think its the Domino remix) on track 9 ... and if any one knows why the bass line on track 11 sounds so damn familiar i will be indepted to them (my best guess is that i recognize it from another mix, maybe premo, count bass d or some stones throw cat). Any way please listen and tell me what you think. Happy Valentines.

Fuck You... that's the movie that we starred in


I've been feeling like an old man lamenting the better days of the past. Now, I could never be of the opinion that "Hip Hop is Dead" (though I understand what nas was trying to do/say with that album) but from time to time my interest fades from the constant flow of new releases. Instead, I try uncover the gems which i have slept on, and revisit old classics... and not get to caught up in negative things like Mobb Deep, being signed to g-unit (along with MOP, who are getting jerked around because cause of a lack of "marketability" aka sex appeal) and never again being able to make another song as smooth, edgy and deep as "Craddle to the Grave"... or that these days Doom seems more concerned with hooking up with an artist with cross over potential than one who spits the raw... like he and Kurious do, once again on this public service anouncement.

I'm Afraid of Americans - Ice Cube Remix

shut up and be happy...

All in your mouth, like cock and gingivitis...

Did anyone else catch that gem stephen colbert drop while being grilled by the giant pink vibration dildo, Bill O'Reilly on "The O'Reilly Factor"? Something like "what gives you the strength... Jesus Christ or Pat Robertson's protien shake?" Check it out, Right about the 4:20 mark.

sssshit... I wonder when Bill realized he had been called a cock sucker.
I guess this has very little to do with hiphop besides that conservitives gerneraly hate art. Fuck em, and Fuck The Mayor...

for good messure here is Round 2, O'Reilly on The Colbert Report.

Are You Ready?



I know I am. keep your fingaz crossed that it actually gets released.

peep the bullshit

Now mind you, I don't care for the artists in this particular instance, but its rather sobering and scary to see the power that the RIAA wields and is willing to use against people who are essentialy promoting their artists... but any way I told you I'd be throwing up some vinyl, and I warned you that it might be annoying so here's a quick (read lazy) rip of my new "shimmy shimmy ya" 12inch. This was Ol' Dirty's first solo single. its had to believe it was released song is over 11 years old, but the pressing date on the record reads 1995.

Jesus Price! its more Sean P
Church ft. Rock
Like You <= this beat is ridiculous

Mess You Made

Jesus Price Supastar, is the latest solo effort from Sean Price of the Boot Camp Clik & Heltah Skeltah. A few tracks stood out after my first listen to my unordered, unofficial, advance copy, but "Mess You Made" stole the show. I first heard the beat at the end of one of the many promotional videos circulating the net, and i knew immediately that the track would be fire. Ruck is at his best here, sitting back and kicking his depressed flow over the hype beat with some clever word play.

"money ain't a thing, says the guy who's rich
while the broke motherfucker's thinking lifes a bitch"

AIDS 07

a renewed engery for this shizzz... i will strive to include as much vinyl as possible. and that mean letting the tables speak. so listen to that connekt 4 / dj premier song and get ready, nah never that, listen to as many dj premier mixtapes as possible.. in fact im going to go over to ill freq and get some tape rips right about now.
