Unlike many blogs out there, I usually take the time to listen to a project before I put it up.......I'm not one of those extra thirsty dudes that takes pride in the "quantity" of post they can pull off - I'm more into the "quality" factor when it comes to HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD....
I will make an exception for Diamond though of course.....I haven't had a chance to listen to this two hour session of "D" slicing up breaks in Russia yet, but I'm quite sure it's going to be an enjoyable listening experience.....
The King Yellowman will be in Sacramento, California on October 14th at the Capitol Garage......
I had the opportunity to catch one of his performances a couple years back, and despite having massive surgery for throat cancer, Yellowman still gave a inspiring, high energy show.....
Some of you so-called M.C.'s could learn a thing or two from one of Reggae's top ranking dons....
And since it is the weekend it's only right that I attach a music link to this post : Yellowman, Fat head, Little Harry & Jah Rubba on Aces Sound System- 1981 Jamaica......
M.O.P.'s "Lil Fame" joins DJ Toshi for the Classic Storm Radio Show episode 100.....
Over 90 minutes of new Hip Hop joints by Tragedy, Timbo King, BAM, Killa Sha, Nutso, Blaq Poet, etc......So turn the volume up a notch and prepare for some 2011 flavors....
Like I have said before in the past, most sample source joints these days don't really hold my attention.....
The Conmen, Phil Most Chill, Kon & Amir, Daddy Long Legs, and many others set the bar pretty high with those types of mixes - so in order for you to pull it off in 2011 you better dig a little deeper in your crates homeboy....
Fake Blood manages to make my ears perk up with his superb "Used" series of sample source material....I posted up one, two, three, and now your going to get hit with number four....
Thirstin Howl 3rd, AKA Big Vic Lo, AKA the Skillionare, AKA Mr. Skill Or Be Skilled put out the "Skilluminati" mixtape back in August of this year.....

Straight from London we have the latest broadcast from Daily Digger, "Kid Dyno"......The first half of the show he hits us with all types of breaks that are bound to help you get your mind right....On the second half he digs in the crates and laces us with slept on, under the radar 90's Hip Hop...
Over an hour of head nodders......
Start your day off correctly and give this a listen troopers.....
When it comes to that official wordplay, my crew has the crown for supplying countless motherfuckers with bars...
SERIOUSLY...
Instead of rocking tired cliches and boring adjectives - we are constantly updating our slang to help keep our Hip Hop morale up...Sure you have heard these words before, but the way we flip it gives them a whole new context with multiple meanings....
I'm not talking about corny comparisons like calling weed "broccoli", or reciting wack phrases like, "Ya Smell Me".....
Nah, were on a whole different level with our 2011 B-Boy, slanguage jack !!!!!!
PEEP...
1.."DIZZY"...
We used to say dizzy so much that motherfuckers thought we were crazy.....At one point everything we said had dizzy in front of it, "Dizzy DJ's", "Dizzy-Homo", "Dizzy brothers", "Dizzy chickens", or just plain "DIZZY" by itself.....
* Proper Usage
" Yo man, I can't believe you are playing some Odd Future in your car, you must be one of those DIZZY motherfuckers "......
2.."NAKED"
HAHAHA......Naked meaning no flavor, no soul power, no pizzazz.......Or lack of money, etc
*Proper Usage.
" I'm NAKED out here on these streets, and my bitch ass landlord just gave me an eviction notice "...
3.."NO ONE CARES"
Before JS-1 came out with his album with the same name, we turned the phrase, "No One Cares" into a monster......For some reason most cats didn't like hearing this one....
*Proper Usage.
" I thought you were going to pick me up before you went to the disco, NO ONE CARES "...Or, " Your always yelling about how wack Hip Hop is now, but do you support the legends when they perform in your city, NO ONE CARES "....
4..AP, BP, MP, WP....
We don't say white dude, or asian man, or mexican cats........We just say AP, WP, or BP's.....What the fuck does that mean ?
Black powers, Mexican powers, Asian powers, etc........It's not used in a derogatory way, it's used to identify when someone is giving someone from the same race better treatment......HAHA......Or it could get flipped many ways depending on the circumstance...
*Proper Usage.
" I noticed that you got some extra hot sauce packets for your meal, it must have been the BP's ".........."Unfortunately I didn't get the job honey, they saw that I was BP and they threw my resume in the trash can ".....
5..RADICAL.
Not surfer dude radical, this form of radical is just another way of saying extreme, ultimate disrespect, wild, crazy, or completely not giving a fuck.....
*Proper Usage.
" That girl had a RADICAL booty "............." Your a soft ass punk, don't try to get RADICAL with me you god damn herb "..... " Damn, that smoke smells RADICAL "........HAHAHA...
Were the slang dons and don't let anyone try to tell you different.....I could go on for days, but this seems like a good time to end this shit....
Thanks for checking into the battlefield- it's going to be a crazy week so stay tuned..........
Be on the lookout for Lord Finesse material straight from the vaults courtesy of Slice Of Spice Records.......Now we will be able to hear ill DITC smashers that we should of had access to in the 90's....
And just to wet your appetites, here is a remix of "You Know What I'm About".......
When I make beats I start with a clean slate every time...Instead of loading up a bunch of kits, or using kicks and snares that I have used in the past- I make sure to scour over my records until I find something new that I haven't rocked before....
WHY ?
Because I don't want to get caught relying on certain techniques or sounds when it comes to production.....This approach has helped me develop a non-stop record buying ethic where it's impossible for me to get bored of my collection.....I have been buying records since 1983 and to be quite honest- I'm still on that never ending search for the perfect beat....
Anyway, a couple years back I posted up one of my remixes of "God Bless Ya Life" by the Ill Biscuits....Now is the right time to bring it back for all of those that didn't catch it the first time....
I hate to pat myself on the back- but I believe I really knocked this shit out the park...The chops match the melancholy vibe of the accappela perfectly, the drums bang of course, and the sequences make perfect sense....
So quit stalling jack and download this Drasar Monumental exclusive shot......BAM,BAMZ....
This is the segment where I dig through my palace of chubby crates and unearth slept-on gems......Were going to go all the way out to Toronto, Canada for a session of goodness this time around...
"Mathematik" was apart of a group called Down To Earth in the 90's.....He eventually went solo and released a couple albums and singles, but for some strange reason many heads in the U.S. are unaware of how ill this dude really is.....
For example peep the bars he spits on "Learn To Earn" from the Beat Factory Rap Essentials Compilation (1996)..
Back in 2006 Trife Diesel, Cryme Life and Tommy Whispers splashed up the set on Peter Parkers "Future Flavors Show" for a round of mic wrecking, jokes, and all that other shit....
Check in and do the right thing trooper...

If your on top of your break beat studies- than you would know what album got flipped for this 2011 release....
Anyway, Shawn Lee's Incredible Tabla Band recreates the original recipe with a new millennium twist.....Usually I'm not into this type of thing, but I have to admit that these guys did an excellent job of adding their own spin on things...
Whenever I hear dudes complaining about how their is no new fly shit out, I just laugh to myself....
Maybe your looking in the wrong places ? Maybe you don't have the time to sift through mad corny shit to find the jewels ? Or perhaps your just lazy and you expect good Hip Hop to just fall in your lap ?
Regardless, fresh joints are constantly dropping......"KA" had a standout verse on Roc Marciano's album (We Do It)......There were even talks of a collaborative album with the deadly duo (Metal Clergy).....
Today I spotted a cut by KA entitled Cold Facts......Wow, this is just straight up ridiculous..
Take the time out to peep his wordplay, patterns, flow, and I promise you that your in for a motherfuckin surprise....Hip Hop Battlefield gives this two thumbs up !!!!!
Yeah man....Yeah man, I told you motherfuckers that I was going to drop "Every Posse Get Flat 2.0." sooner than later.....
I also told you that I have plans for the suckers this year....HAHAHA....
The kid feels real good right about now....WHY ?
Because I am about to drop a certified M.X. missile right on your forehead.....I'm talking 40 minutes of nonstop turntable abuse, rudeboy pressure, BATTLEFIELD production, and all that other wild shit that will make the average herb tremble in his skinny jeans (DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME).....
If your expecting to hear a compilation of "Lovers Rock" tunes, your barking up the wrong tree......If your expecting to hear a mix full of "pay to play" dubplates, your barking up the wrong tree......If your expecting to hear a project full of shake your "poom poom" selections, once again your barking up the wrong motherfuckin tree....
If you look at the cover art carefully (By Viben Onerz) you already know what's going down.....STRAIGHT WRECK...
Big up to GBK, NSZ, GFC, P, Kendoo, Fooderz, Mad Miguel, State, Shyeer, Rashad, Sha, Kufu, Daze Roc (WST),Riff, Mondo, Reefa, Prize, Franz, Blame, AYAK, Polar/Viben thanx brother, Daily Diggers in London, Kool Skool in London,, Alter Ha, Donalski, Cold Rock The Spot, Big D.O. ,Blacka Dread, Vex, Vietnam California, Jahmel, Elizabeth, Kebz, Tariq, HR, Mattlock in Chicago, Dave Jones in Vancouver, and everyone else that keeps those flames burning..

" We teamed up with D-Styles back in the day to create this promo for DJ Shadow’s The Private Press, and later used it for pre-orders of The Outsider.

A month or so ago, I posted up one of Sloppy White's extra ill, under the radar mixes - Now I'm back with another power booster to help raise your Hip Hop morale on this Tuesday evening....
" The Way It Was " is flooded with a massive amount of joints that many of you have never heard before.....Turn the volume up a notch and rock on trooper...
Yeah, I know you do not come to HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD to read about my personal opinions on things, but fuck it this is my blog so I can do whatever I want, when I want...
Every once in awhile I have to hit the decompress button and vent about various situations that are puzzling to me.....So latch on to your seat belts and brace yourself for some BATTLEFIELD turbulence....
1..."LYRICALLY DEFICIENT ROBOTS"
Wow, I can't believe how lame some of these so-called rappers are these days.....I'm talking elementary school bars.......The other night I went out and heard a girl get on the mic and spit bullshit like this, "I'm so California / like a sushi roll".........
And if that wasn't bad enough, she followed up that nonsense with, "I'll burn your ass / like a calorie".......
I got so mad I felt like going down to the nearest grocery store to buy a dozen eggs, then roll back to the jam and pelt her with all twelve of the those joints right in her motherfuckin face.....
We went from "Lyrical Kings" like T-La Rock, G-Rap, Rakim, to cornball rhymers that have no right clutching microphones in front of anyone.........
You suckers better cut out all that foolishness, your embarrassing yourself.....
2...."SWEET AS ALIZE BEATS"
I'm not one of those "throwback brothers" that think everything after 1996 sucks....I'm still a dedicated Hip Hop student and I dig extremely hard to hear fresh material on the regular (past and present).....
With that being said though, I have to admit that most of the production I hear lately has been soft as shit.....Back in the day we were trying to get away from sappy R-N-B tracks.....
I never embraced "New Jack Swing" or any of that other watered down fluff...
When you rhyme that gangster shit over candy beats, it doesn't add up......When you rhyme that revolution talk over happy beats, it doesn't add up......When you you rhyme that crime boss steez over tinkerbell beats, it doesn't add up....
Timeless Hip Hop is created when you have a perfect marriage between top notch lyrics, over top notch production.....
Some of you producers need to sell your god damn samplers.....Better yet, donate them joints to cats that have a real understanding of what Hip Hop production is all about......
I'm sick and tired of hearing your soft ass beats....
3...."SMART DUMMIES"..
Remember when Hip Hop dudes took pride in reading books ?
You have to turn off your computer sometimes and go to your nearest bookstore, library, and immerse yourself into some quality reading material.....
The downside to certain technology "advancements" is that our attention spans are getting fried out....Everyone is looking for a short cut, instead of putting in the proper work...
With the closing of "Borders" it appears as if e-books are the future for some.......Nah, I'm going to continue buying books as much as I buy records.....
4..."WACK RAP NAMES"
"Black Spade", "Black Jigg", "V-Nasty", "White Girl Mobb", "Zeek Lotto", "Juicy-J", "Young Breed", "Young Guru", "French Montana", "Torch", and too many other ones to even deal with on this post...
5...."Hip Hop Jeopardy"..
Contrary to popular belief, having a deep knowledge of Hip Hop history is essential if you ever want to be considered a serious Hip Hop head....
If you are one of those cats that scream "West Coast, West Coast", and you don't even know who "Toddy T" or who "Uncle Jams Army" are - you need to get your motherfuckin mind right.....
If you are one of those cats that scream "Miami, Miami", and you don't know about the "Ghetto Style D.J.'s" or "Gucci Crew" - you need to get your motherfuckin mind right...
If you are one of those cats that scream "Brooklyn, Brooklyn", and you don't know about "Audio 2" or "Hitman Howie T" - you need to get your motherfuckin mind right....FAST.......
I'm not one to pat myself on the back, but I can promise you that you "do not want it" with Mr. Hip hop Battlefield when it comes to that Hip Hop Jeopardy shit......HAHAHA....
That's it for now, I think I have ranted on long enough....
Send all Hip Hop trivia and hate mail to ZJUDAH @ YAHOO. COM
Just got done listening to this comprehensive Beatminerz mix by Rugged One (UGHH).....My only complaint is that he didn't rock enough blends ( It's a dying art these days I guess ).....

You never know when HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD is going to strike.....
It could be during the week.....You might catch me posting on the weekends....
Whenever I get the inspiration to splash cyber-space I'm going to go in- so make sure you come back on the regular to see what's cooking up over on this side homeboy....
Today I'm going to place you in a Hip Hop time machine and take you all the way to London 1985 for a slept-on documentary entitled, "Electro Rock" featuring Bambaata, London All Stars, Broken Glass, Richie Rich, Family Quest, Rock City Crew, etc.....
56 minutes of untampered, undiluted Hip Hop shit......Do the right thing and check in if you know what's best for you....
That dude from the D, "House Shoes" gives us a taste of what he has brewing up on the production side of things.....You will hear remixes, instrumentals, and unreleased material on this half hour excursion into sound....
GBK/NS/HR/SOA
