"G. Rap Is Still Nasty'

Kool G. Rap is a dude that you just can't sleep on......Sure his last couple of albums weren't as ill as his first 3 joints....But it is mainly because of his production choices.....If "G" was spitting the same type of shit over dope beats, he would be killing it right about now.....In the clip below "G" still proves why he is one of the nastiest........Salute

"New Sadat X And Agallah"

Time to get your mind right fam, the weekend is over....Monday is right around the corner so it's only right that I hit you off with that new shit to keep you pepped up this week....."Agallah" and "Sadat X" just dropped a new cut called, "Can We Save Us"?....Download pronto .....

" Weekend Warpath" Grand Daddy I.U. Remix Edition

The weekend is here again and it's time to break fool.......You know what the fuck I mean when I say , "Break Fool" right?....Bar fights, corny dance moves, making it rain, DUI's, all that wild weekend shit dun dun..........HaHaheee......But on the real side of things, I have another remix torpedo to launch at you fools.... "Slingin Bass" is a Grand Daddy I.U. cut off of his "Lead Pipe" album......His rhymes were on point on this album, but some of the beats couldn't match up to his debut {Smooth Assassin}....
So I decided to go 4 mine, and give "I.U." the remix treatment...........Pow..

"The Disco Godfather"

Life is crazy sometimes people......While on a serious digging mission recently, I caught a "Rudy Ray Moore" joint....I have plenty of "RRM" records, but for some reason this piece of vinyl had my name written all over it.....When I finally got back to the lab, I tapped up some new rockets, and even incorporated elements of "RRM" on a "Criminal Scientific Remix" { Check your Hip Hop Battlefield files dun dun }. A couple days later Rudy passed away.......Strange......What's even stranger is that you hardly see any coverage breaking down "RRM's" tremendous contributions to music, film, comedy, etc...........Here's a clip of "RRM" in one of my favorite movies "Disco Godfather".......R.I.P.

"New Premier Shit"

Damn, "D.J.Premier's" catalogue is so ridiculous at this point that you have to give him G.O.A.T. status.......I can't think of any cats from his era that have remained this consistent when it comes to hardcore Hip Hop...For nearly 20 years "Preem" has been ringing bells with his signature beats......This is a new joint he just dropped with "Wiz Hoffa" called "I'm Tired".......100

" Chi-Town Stand Up'

To all my people in the "Go", how about those Bears?....Just kidding, I know that type of reckless talk could get me injured next time I touchdown out there....HaHaHeee....Anyway, peace 2 All Natural for always keeping a brother informed......

"Rock Steady Crew Mixtape"

Here is a "Rock Steady Crew" mixtape to zapp you back into the right mind state....Mixed by "JS-1", "J Period", and "D.V. One"....Download this scorcher below..

"New Fuck That"

Remember that cat "Fuck That" { I know he spells it without the k } ?...He had a joint with " Pharoahe Monch" called "Metal Thangz" that got a lot of attention.......He just released a new joint called "09 Is Mine"..........{Check the usage of Ultra}

'Kool Keith-Post Ultra'

Out of all the material Kool Keith has blessed us with ever since "Ultra" disbanded {Their reunion album doesn't even count} "The Masters Of Illusion" album is his best work....With "Doc Oc" trailing shortly behind......On this album with "Motion Man", they spit some of the craziest, hilarious, out of control, rhymes ever committed to wax......It was released in 2001, and still runs laps around most of his recent material......"Kut Master Kurt " produced the whole album, and includes some nasty scratch sentences throughout the entire joint.......If you slept on this album when it came out, I suggest you get your mind right and check back in ?

" Paul C Mcasty-Beat Kings Edition...."

The late great "Paul C" worked with many influential artist, the list includes Stezo, Grandmaster Caz, UltraMag, Super Lover Cee and Cassanova Rud, Rahzel, Mikey D, Large Pro, and countless others before he was killed at the age of 24.....His murder remains unsolved to this day, and was even featured on "America's Most Wanted"........Dave Tompkins, wrote one of the best articles regarding "Paul C' I have ever stumbled across.......Peep for yourself here

"New Jail Kite From Prodigy"

Recently reports were made that 'Prodigy" was on the verge of death in prison.....He clears up all the misconceptions regarding his health on a recent blog post at www.HNIC2.com
HNIC2.com

" Milkcrate Jewels 4 ", Hip Hop Raggamuffin Edition ......

This joint came out in 1991, and to this day when I hear it, I spazz out and start swinging my fist in the air like I am about to uppercut somebody......Can you believe that "Interscope Records" put out this gem of a record? "Almighty And K.D. Ranks" simply body this cut "Trenton Is Where We Live"....Tony D produced it , and even goes for his lyrically with a hilarious 16......
Salute to all my rudeboy Hip Hop ragamuffin soldiers.......Boooyaaakaaaa

"Incarcerated Scarfaces"

Tragedy Khadafi is in prison currently, serving a 4 year bid for felony drug sales.......I hear fools talking about free P, free Remy-Ma, free so and so.....Well god damnit, free that brother "Tragedy Khadafi".......Until then, enjoy this cut he did with "Havok", entitled "The Game"........{ Get your helmet melted off }....

"Gadgets"

This is a picture of a hard disk audio controller....It allows you to quickly skim through a track, and find a specific playback position....All at the touch of a rotary wheel........Crazy shit, but "Techniques" have never let me down.....I think I will stick to the basics....

"We Still Have A Long Way To Go"

What the fuck is going on in this world?....Dudes beating up on girls....Even if your a student on a prestigious college campus, you are still not safe from narrow minded bigots......The struggle continues, regardless of who's president in the United States...

"Flavor Packets For Your Weekend"

Look out weekend here I come......Tonight I am going out to see legendary pioneers "Fishbone"....I have seen these cats a million times, but truth be told, not many bands can compete with these dudes live.......They just come with too much fire power, musical chops, and all out craziness.........So it's friday, and it's time to get flavorful......And to show appreciation to the "Hip Hop Battlefield" faithful.......Here is a "Elevation West" podcast {Featuring D.J. House Shoes, Elzhi, and Shawn Jackson live } shout out to {A Sides}............

"In Honor Of Old Dirty'

On this song "Diesel", Old Dirty drops one of his best verses ......Disregard my following post {regarding ODB's biography}...ODB's family want the public to actually boycott the release of this book....And I think it is only right that us {Fans} respect his families wishes.....

"Old Dirty Book Drops November 25th"

It's been almost 4 years since his untimely passing on Nov 13th 2004......Crazy how time flies in this fast paced world we are living in.......Old Dirty was only 35 years old, and day's away from his 36th birthday......Sad.....This book appears to be very promising, it includes interviews with the clan, family, and collaborators.....Check for it when it hit's the shelves......R.I.P., O.D.B. you left behind a void that is impossible to fill, I guess that's why they called you "Ason Unique"....

"Nature Featuring Kool G. Rap And Prodigy"

The name of this mysterious cut is " I Thought I Told You"........It features an all-star cast of all-Queens mc's....Check in...

"Ed Lover Is Still Funny As Fuck"

I bet you didn't know your peoples {Ed Lover} got a nose job...HaHa.......Anyway, M.T.V. needs to bring him and Dre back...

"New Wax Poetics"

One of the last magazines out there holding it down.......I remember back in the day checking "Source", "Word Up", "Right On", Billboard, etc, for cutting edge Hip Hop info {Things have changed for sure}..........Anyway, you should cop this issue, the M.F. Doom piece on beats is worth your money within itself...

"Chief Kamachi vs Apathy"

The Chief Kamachi and Apathy beef has reached new heights with the release of this Apathy diss record..[First Warning}....It's crazy because both dudes were in the same crew {Army Of The Pharaohs}.....I have a feeling you will be hearing a rebuttal from Apathy sooner than later......HaHaHee...

"Milk Crate Jewels, Part 3"

Authorized Fam is a group from Staten Island that I don't know to much about.....I caught this record a couple year's back while digging in Seattle.....You can hear the Wu-Tang influence in their shit, the beat sounds like something RZA would have done in 96-97.....The one thing that I know for sure about this record {white label} is that it came out on Vortex Records.......If anyone has info on "Authorized Fam" get at me......Enjoy

"Milk Crate Jewels, Part 2"

If you have been following "Hip Hop Battlefield", you already know "The Nonce" is a group I speak very highly of.......On this song {Thing's Fall Apart}, you can feel the melancholy mood pouring out of the speakers....It's a somber sounding tune that addresses the up's and downs of the music industry.........Peep... R.I.P Yusef Afloat....

"Getting Up Remix. Featuring Camp Lo"

Time to check in folks.....Q-Tip looks happier than a motherfucker doesn't he...Ha-Ha....

"For Those That Slept"

It doesn't get much more wilder than this......Good Lifers/ Project Blowedians, stand up......

"Exile Shit"

I can't even front, the first time I heard of that kid "Exile", was for his production work on "Mobb Deep's" last album {Pearly Gates}....But he has been around for quite some time, honing his chops in the L.A. scene..........His recent work with "Blu" is garnering a lot of attention for good reason......They simply put out good music.......Here is an example of Exile doing what he does best, chopping beats the fuck up...

"Evil Dee Is On the Mix, Come On Kick It"

Evil Dee has a gang of podcast posted up at podomatic.com......When you touchdown over there, make sure you tell em that kid from Hip Hop Battlefield sent ya.......100

"One Nation Under A Groove"

The Zulu Nation has been around longer than I have been alive....It's unfortunate that I couldn't be there to pay homage and celebrate it's 35 anniversary.......But I was absolutely there in spirit....Here is some footage from last weekend....

'Somebody Call Security"

Lil Fame released a track recently from his upcoming album {Fame And The Glory} called, "Security"......This is the kind of joint you play before you go out on the strip this weekend......HaHa....2 Thumbs up

"Alchemist And Evidence Are The Stepbrothers"

Their are hardly any "Hip Hop Remakes" that I actual enjoy.....Snoop's version of "La De Da De", sounded goofy at best.....Mos Def's version of "Children's Story", put me to sleep......Ahhh let me see.."Buckshot's version of "I Ain't No Joke" was kinda poppin...Anyway, the "Step Brothers" made a remake of Cypress Hill's "Hit's From The Bong".....Let me know what ya'll think of this remake.....

"Chief Kamachi And Killer Priest"

If their whole album had beats like this, they would have one of the best albums of the year......

"Brand New"

D.J. Dead Eye just released a new cut called "Girl Interrupted" {Featuring Termanology and Skyzoo} ...I gotta say, this joint is kinda buttery... Statik Selektah's beat put me in some type of flashback trance.....Thumbs up

" Soundclash Shit"

Looking forward to seeing this when it officially drops {November 18} ....But I gotta say, pitting "Will I Am" against "Thes-One" seems a little strange {2 way different styles} to me.....Regardless this D.V.D. looks kinda ill.....

"Only 100 Copies Printed"

KING STATUS...100

"The Notty Headed Terror"

Tame One's new album, "New Jersey Bastard" has some joints on it...This cut is called "Against The Grain"...It sound's like your boy has still got it......Jersey stand up......{Produced by Parallel Thought}

"Drasar Monumental On The Remix"

Remember the "Double XX Posse"? T-Ray used to fuck around with them back in the day......."Not Going To Be Able To Do It" and "Headcracker", were their biggest hits, but "Money Talks", was one of my personal favorites......"Sugar Ray", sounds so hungry on his verse, you can feel the raw determination.......Here is another remix I did recently......Turn the volume to ten and get live motherfuckers....Pow

"Milk Crate Jewels"

Many people slept on this "Alchemist" produced banger...."Baron Ricks", was down with the "Soul Assassin" crew in the mid 90's...On this joint "Rags To Riches", Baron is joined by "B-Real" and "Chase Infinite".....Add this to your Hip Hop Battlefield stash, dogs.....

"Time 2 Rise Up", Black President Edition

It's a crazy time to be alive.....Society is moving in strange directions, the economy is going to shit, people are losing their homes and jobs, families are digging through dumpsters to get food......The list goes on and on....And for some reason, everyone seems to think one person {Obama} can change all this fuck up.....It's going to take more than one person to turn this thing around....Don't get me wrong, Obama was the obvious choice for president {Mccain came off like a drunken idiot}....But please don't get it twisted folks, this country was built on bigotry and oppression......I have a funny feeling that some crazy shit is on the horizon......Regardless, we are witnessing new developments, new ideas, and hopefully we can move in a new direction........

'New Saigon Shit"

When the fuck is Saigon's album coming out?......It should of came out right after that "Come On Baby" shit dropped....Anyway this is a new joint he did on that "Rosenberg Oddissee" album...It's called "WW4" {Featuring Lil Fame}.....100

"D.J. Vadim, Russia's Finest"

D.J. Vadim, was recently diagnosed with a rare form of eye cancer...This Friday he is having a benefit concert in London featuring Mr. Thing, D.J Lok, Kashmere, Living Proof Crew, and a gang of other people.......I hope you get well soon "Vadim".....It's only right I bless ya'll with one of my favorite Vadim heaters...."Your Revolution" {Featuring Mr.Lif}

"Zeitgeist 2"

This groundbreaking sequel came out last month......I suggest you check in immediately....Here is the trailer .....

"Sucker Of The Week. Soulja Boy"

O.k, O.k.....Why and the hell is "Drasar Monumental" dissing 'Soulja Boy"?.......Because this fool actually thanked the slave masters for bringing him to America......On B.E.T.'s red carpet, he defended past slave masters, saying "If it wasn't for them I wouldn't have all this ice and tattoos".......Damn, we already knew you couldn't rap, but you probably can't read either......This is a major slap in the face to our ancestors who were hung, raped, and terrorized in "America".......The current "Hip Hop" community hasn't even raised an eyebrow regarding this ignorant brothers statements......And they probably never will.......Remember when "Eminem" was exposed for making racist rants towards black people?.....No one gave a shit...You even had motherfuckers like "Russell Simmons" defending him............And don't give me that, he's only 18 bullshit either.......Age doesn't excuse fuckery...
.......I guess Ice T was right afterall........Boycott "Souljaboy", and simple minded motherfuckers like him.....100

"It's The Motherfuckin P. Brothers"

Say it with me folks the "P Brothers".....Yeah, it's crazy that 2 cats from out of this country have one of the best albums of the year....D.J. Ivory and Paul S, make the type of beats that give true school hardrocks the chills.....And their new album "The Gas", takes you back to the foundation of this Hip Hop shit.....No gimmicks, no unnecessary bullshit singing on the hooks, no corny keyboard shit.....No nonsense........Does anyone remember them from "Big Dada" magazine?.....Anyway, I had to include a joint from their "Hardcore Live" album as well.....Enjoy....Blam, Blam.......
