" Who Gives A Fuck About A God Damn Grammy ? "

Remember those infamous words from " Flavor Flav ? " ( Terminator X On The Edge Of Panic )....I do god damn it, and over twenty years later I believe in those words more than ever...

Fuck the Grammy's !!!!!! Hip Hop was designed to go against the grain, nowadays cats are running to the mainstream for any type of hand-out they can get...

These are the nominees for best rap song...( What a fucking joke ).

Best Rap Song
Drake – “Best I Ever Had”
Kid Cudi – “Day ‘N’ Nite”
T.I. & Justin Timberlake – “Dead And Gone”
Jay-Z – “D.O.A. (Death Of Auto-Tune)”
Jay-Z, Rihanna & Kanye West – “Run This Town”

Don't get it twisted....I didn't expect the Grammy nominations to be on point in the first place, that would be ridiculous...I'm just disappointed that the bar has gone down so low......Justin Timberlake is involved in a rap nomination for christ sake...

WOW....Jay-Z nominated twice for two horrible songs....WOW....What the fuck happened to Jay-Z ?..... WOW..

I can still remember the days when Hip Hop got absolutely no love at the Grammy's....Public Enemy, Fresh Prince, M.C. Lyte, etc
actually boycotted that shit in the late 80's....They had the right idea....

WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT A GOD DAMN GRAMMY ?

* UPDATE-----Damn I turned to the Grammy's just to see how they started the show....HHHMMMM, just like I thought, some more weirdo behavior...They opened up with Lady GaGa & Elton John....HAHAHAHA......

Time to turn on my sampler and get grimey....

" 4 All The Wu- Headz : Part 5 "

For all the work 4th Disciple put in, you would think his name would get mentioned a lot more when cats are talking about top notch producers...

He goes straight to the vaults with this project (Best Of 740 Volume 1).....

Even though I kinda fell back from feeding my AF1 fetish a couple years ago, I'm seriously thinking of doing my own top 50...So make sure you stay on the lookout for that...

This list by the " Mayor " will definitely surprise many of you, especially his number one pick...

Mayor, who has just under 1200 pairs of crispy Air Force 1s, has made a name for himself as a major player in the sneaker game and even has his own sneaker Ustream show on Thursday and Sunday nights. In Mayor's top 50 you'll find a bunch of highly sought after Air Forces and special make-ups that even veteran sneakerheads might have missed. But which models made the cut?

" Drasar Monumental Destroys The Remix: Re-Post "

Even though this is a re-post don't think for a hot second that I am running out of dangerous beats.....The only reason why I am reposting this remix of Royal Flush ( Wordwide ) is because it seems to get a good response whenever I play it for one of my peoples...

I have been making beats for half of my life..Sometimes things come together, and sometimes they don't....With this remix right here, I knew I had a heavy piece of weaponry on my hands ....

The original version by " L.E.S. " is a certified classic in my opinion and damn near impossible to top, but I feel my version deserves some burn as well...

So quit stalling homeboy...Swoop up this remix and prepare for impact..

" Andy Votel: Brazilika Mixtape "

Yeah, winter is in full effect, but HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD is going to keep things extra steamy for everyone that swoops through to hear that official heat...DO NOT SLEEP..This is a mixtape with actual blends ( Not a compilation )....

" The third instalment in our fledgling ‘Brazilika’ series is a high octane and non-stop Brazilian block party mix from DJ producer and psychedelic rock librarian Andy Votel. Expertly squeezed, segued and sequenced together, Votel’s rapid fire journey ventures into both the fondly remembered Tropicalia period and a period less well known, characterised by obscure acid rock, freak folk and other mutations of Musica Popular Brasileira (MPB).

Votel’s twisted tale unearths a vast array of weird and wonderful musical stories from the likes of Os Mutantes, Novos Bianos, Sidney Miller, Os Brazoes and Azymuth. All tracks were originally conceived in the same climate that spawned samba rock and tropicalia yet pages away from the scrutiny of the political dictatorships of the 1970s and very different to the catalogues held by the European majors.

This definitive compilation is comprised of tracks handpicked by Andy Votel and were all originally released on Brazil’s Som Livre and RGE imprints. Under those distorted guitars, the indelible indigenous South American influences heard in the percussion and vocal arrangements give these recordings an individuality exclusive to Brazil. None more so than the fuzz-ridden, re-workings of classic national favourites exemplified by Moraes Moreira's version of 'Se Voce Pensa' previously recorded by both Gal Costa and Roberto Carlos. Also in the mix Os Mutantes in a later incarnation to mark the era when prog rock finally landed in South America. By this time Som Livre's catalogue had began to boast a roster including funk-rock luminaries such as Tim Maia and Azymuth -who can be heard on this mix at their very hardest, oozing with Brazilian funk attitude which reinforces the Far Out connection."

* Tracklisting

Os Brazões - Módulo Lunar / Gerson Conrad/ Zezé Motta- 1974/ Betinho - Careta /Novos Baianos - Baby Consuelo
Tim Maia - Flores Belas / Trio Soneca - Funga-Funga / Novos Baianos - Tinindo Trincando / Sidney Miller - Dos Anjos
Moraes Moreira - Se Você Pensa/ Mutantes - Deixe Entrar Um Pouco D'Água no Quintal / Os Brazões – Feitiço/ Os Brazões - Gotham City/ Pery Ribeiro - Ciladas / Novos Baianos - Ferro na Boneca/ Azymuth - Periscópio / Novos Baianos - De Vera

" G.T.F.O.H. - Hip Hop Weasel Edition "

Hip Hop is such a big part of my life I can actually say it is one of the most important things in my world.Is it weird that I don't have any friends that aren't down with Hip Hop in some shape,form,or fashion?

Ever since I can remember I have been crying foul when certain so-called Hip Hop heads fumble the pass and make fools of themselves for not staying in their lane ... For this weeks " GTFOH ", I'm going to take my gloves off and lay the smack down....

1..Did you know Steele from the movie " Juice " came out with an album ? I bet your forgetful ass didn't remember this sad attempt at mic rocking...
Wow....It wasn't all good in the 90's either ninja !!!!!!!!

2...Yo dogz, I like " M.O.P. " just as much as the next man, but this is just downright shameful....My dudes would have revoked my Hip Hop pass if they even suspected me of being down with such wobble-headed fuckery..." Life is good , life is great / life is unbelievable, life is hard..Life is cruel, life is beautiful / ooh yeah yeah ".....G.T.F.O.H....

3...Isn't it kinda strange how Mariah Carey picks whoever is hot at the moment and decides to collab with them...This is what I call the " Chameleon Syndrome "...From O.D.B. to a barely understandable Gucci Mayne, she will do whatever it takes to be popular I guess....She even had the nerve to say O.D.B. was her favorite rapper, WE DONT BELIEVE YOU........R.I.P. Ason Unique..

4....Funny how dudes try to cop a plea after totally abandoning their Hip Hop roots....I always thought " Fat Joey Crack " was a decent enough cat...D.I.T.C. is his foundation for christ sakes, but when dudes get a little paper sometimes they get all eccentric and shit....We need you to come back " F.J. ", so knock off all that bullshit....

5...Over here at Hip Hop Battlefield I try to incorporate the past, present, and future of this art form....Too many cats stay so stuck in the 90's that they overlook a lotta dope shit that is poppin off today...Don't get me wrong troop..My favorite years are from 86-98, but it is my duty as a D.J. to be up on the new fly shit as well.....Stop all the bloodclot crying about things you can't control....Stay on top of your skills and stay focused...

6...I'm not a fan of modern R&B...To be honest I would rather listen to some grimey ass punk rock than hear someone whine about how their girl left them high and dry....So it should come as no suprise why I think this collabo between Big Daddy Kane & Patti Labelle straight up stinks...

7...Everybody thinks they are a gangster/goon/hardrock/shooter these days....I think Hip Hop has suffered in recent years because fools are afraid to break free from this blueprint and just truly be themselves...Dont get it twisted; I don't want to hear anyone spit that David Bowie weirdo rap shit, but I am getting bored with dudes that " catch all these bodies " but couldn't hold themselves down in a cipher....YA FEEL ME...Calm down with all that GUN TALK and get your breath control together...

8...Remember when rap battles were actual rap battles ?....Nowadays dudes are battling accapella on some, one-two, buckle my shoe weirdo shit....I can't fuck with most of these battles, but this one between " T-Rex & Math Hoffa " had me laughing louder than a motherfucker....

9....Alright ya'll....I could go on forever but this is a perfect time to wrap it up with all the shenanigans....Remember, these are just "MY" opinions and I don't expect anyone to think like I do..You can send all hate mail to DEEZNUTZ@FUCKYOURSELF.COM
