" Style Warz, Part 7 "



Former graffiti writer and founding member of the Montana Writer Team, Ruedione retired the spraycan some years back, picking up a camera in its place. For Backflashes — Graffiti Tales, he's captured covert graffiti missions in his signature black and white style from Hamburg, Frankfurt, Heidelberg, Manheim and Dortmund Germany; New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco in the USA; Amsterdam and Zwolle in the Netherlands; Naples and Salermo Italy; Sao Paulo, Brazil and Santiago de Chile.

These pictures portray not only the forms, letters and characters, but also of the moments, emotions and impressions that are integral to the act of writing graffiti. The raw inspiration, the adrenaline and the emotional weight of these artful, yet illegal acts are captured faithfully by a member of the cognoscenti.

I could just post up the whole project, but something doesn't feel quite right about doing that type of shit...So here is that " Lil Juanito " joint if you missed it the first time...

I promise this will be the last set of re-up's that you will see for quite some time...HAHA..

Here are a couple remixes that I did three/four years ago..The first one is a Nas - " It Ain't Hard To Tell " remix that should help jump start your Tuesday morning...

And the second is a Guru flip ( Where's Our Money ) that demonstrates my uncanny ability to chop shit the fuck up...I don't mean to pat myself on the back, but this one is just nasty kid.........Tell a friend...POW.POW...

" Wax Weaponz 16, Re-Up "



Back when I first started this blog I was hitting ya'll with mixes every week ( Wax Weapons )....I got some good feedback, plus hundreds of downloads...But as the radio show started to pop off ( Battlefield funk Radio ) I felt like putting (WW) on the shelf for a little while...

So just in case you missed it the first time around here is Wax Weaponz 16.....You will hear everything from " Willie Littles " to
ex- Nonce member " Sach "......All wax, all off the dome, all blends, all freaked by Mr.Battlefield himself, that's me just in case your not knowing...

This has to be some of the wildest shit I have ever seen in my life....

We miss you Ason Unique...

TUNE IN..

" Beat Tape Shit- Specs One Edition "



I haven't put up a "beat tape" type of thing in a minute, so without further delay, here comes some beat rockets from 206 Zulu brethren "Specs One"...

Specs is a triple threat when it comes to this Hip Hop shit: he paints, rhymes and makes his own fuckin beats....On this instrumental project ( Green Flowers ), " S.O. " rocks dusted soul loops, keeps it lo-fi, and brings his own unique flare to a minimalist production ethic.....

Peace to the posse in the 206...

" 7L Rocks The Breaks "



Just got done listening to this crazy mix by Boston's own, "7L"...WOW....It must have took this cat a long time to fully execute this project because it sounds so heavily layered...

It falls under the Nubian Crackers/ Brooklyn Slum Lords/ Kenny Dope/ category, with plenty party rocker type arrangements to get your head nodding...

Fasten your seat belts folks....

" D.J. Babu : Video Blog 8 "



Damn......" Babu " made a good move by hitting us off with these video snippets before his beat tape drops in a couple weeks...Now the anticipation is on the rise...

On # 8 he pays homage to Dilla by spending his day looking for vinyl, getting tree'd up, and visiting his resting place....Cameos by the Alchemist, House Shoes, etc....

" Blog Shots 34 "



After finishing off a hefty box of chocolates my girl gave me for Valentines Day, I though to myself..." What happened to all the fresh female M.C's out there " ?.......

Seriously.....

Where did they go ?....I'm not talking about that " Nicki Manaj " wobble-headed rap shit...



Nah, I can't go for that homey (Even though she is looking very spicy).....I'm talking about B-Girls that really got down for their crown....Soul sistas like Antoinette, M.C.Lyte, Lin-Que, Latifah (Before she switched up her steez), Boss, and a gang of other females that actually had skills....

I can't even remember the last time I heard a female totally wreck shit....Yeah, a couple females have popped up recently on the blogosphere, but I am not really convinced that they are bringing something new to the table.....

If you guys can prove me wrong, please do so.....Make me eat my words....Send me some tracks by some ill females and I will give you a salute....

Anyway, M.C. Lyte has a blog that you should peep when you get a chance.....Interesting stuff......Hip Hop, fashion, podcast, and tour stories...." Lyte " is also spinning these days ( I hope she can hold her own on the decks and it's not just another celebrity scheme )......

On another note, " Lyte " is looking real lovely these days....Better now than in her " Paper Thin " days..HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

" Tony Toca Presents: Dilla & Pun Tribute Show "

" New Ras Kass Mixtape "



There was a period of time when I thought Ras Kass was one of the best lyricist on the planet..His vocabulary was so extensive it appeared as if " RK " spent the majority of his time in a library...

I'm not necessarily saying that is a prerequisite for being a dope M.C., but it damn sure helps as far as wordplay is concerned..After a couple prison stints, label drama, etc..." R K " still manages to churn out his brand of Hip Hop in the 21st century...

On this mixtape you will hear some of his finest musical contributions...Rarities, unreleased heaters, well-known gems, and all that other fly shit homeboy...

WEST COAST STAND THE FUCK UP !!!!!!

" 4 All The Wu- Headz : Part 6 "

" Kon & Amir: Live From Switzerland "



Kon & Amir are some of the hardest working D.J.'s that you will ever come across...They have consistently churned out original, highly influential mixes over the years and 2010 looks like it will be another busy year for the dynamic duo...

On a recent trip to Switzerland they did a radio show on Living Room F.M.

In Kon's own words..

" WHILE IN EUROPE WE HAD THE PLEASURE OF DOING THE LIVING ROOM RADIO SHOW ( WWW.LIVINGROOMFM.COM ) IN BASEL SWITZERLAND, WHICH WAS CRAZY, ITS BROADCAST LIVE FROM A RESTAURANT ON MAJOR RADIO... YES MAJOR RADIO !!
IMAGINE THE SET IVE POSTED BEING PLAYED ON A MAJOR STATION IN THE USA AT 10-11 AT NIGHT !?!?

" Salute To Big Pun "



The first time I heard " Big Pun " was on that Funk Master Flex volume one mixtape.....I couldn't believe what the fuck I was hearing straight up and down...

He had the " Kool G.Rap " multi-syllable attack down pat, but he threw a different type of twist on it unlike the majority of "G-
Rap " clones out there...And when " I'm Not A Player " dropped (produced by Money Boss Player- Minnesota) I was convinced that Pun was going to shake things up...



Unfortunately " Pun " never had the chance to watch his career blossom into the legendary status that it is today...Can you imagine how fucking ill he would sound in 2010....WOW...

It's been ten years since " Pun " passed and it would be impossible to fill the void he left...

Christopher Rios you are missed..

Here is a clip of Pun's first ever radio appearance on the " Stretch & Bobbito's " show August 31st, 1995...God damn this is just ridiculous ya'll....Pun really blacks out on this one....

This what Bobbito had to say about this particular recording.....

"In ‘95, Fat Joe brought up Armeggedon, Keith Nut, and Big Dog The Punisher to freestyle on me and Stretch’s show. After the session, I thought in my head, “That dude Big Dog killed it!” That was the first time anyone ever heard him live, and perhaps the first time anyone ever heard of him period as he was unsigned and had never appeared on any of Fat Joe’s records yet. Two years later he was on Loud Records with a big hit “Not A Player” and went multi-plat, etc. Cool story and good memory. He had a very tough image to the public, but around me, Stretch, and Sear, who are all clowns, Pun was a bug out, liked to snap and joke around just like anyone else."

Peace to DW...

On this mix ( Soul Walk ) " Bles " straight wrecks shit....This isn't your average break mix with run of the mill joints you have heard a million times JACK !!!!!

PPPPPREMIERPPPPPPREMIER- Is still smashing the set in 2010...On this new cut with Joell Ortiz ( Project Boy ) " Preem " goes in for the kill with some truly dramatic production...

These are the type of beats that give me an immediate ice grill....

" True Life Stories: Flavor Flav Edition-Re-Up "



It's 1994 and I am high as a kite on some stress weed and a warm St.Ides 40 oz.......Tonight Public Enemy, The Fugees, and The Goats [remember those dudes} are performing...........Me and my crew are broke, pockets are looking shabby as fuck, but here we are........Were chillin in the club parking lot and out comes "Wyclef". I'm not really a " Fugees " fan, matter of fact we were there to see if we could see " P.E."........

" Clef " hits us up for some trees to blaze, we smoke, we crack jokes, and we end up starting a cypher right there............No Lie.........We hit Wyclef with our most brutal rhymes, punchlines, battle darts, multi syllable shit, the works.......Wyclef is stunned, Wyclef is caught off guard, Wyclef just got took out ya'll.........

Anyway he is so impressed he let's us in the show for free.................

The Fugees take a break during their set and invite mc's up to the stage.......We bumrush the stage.......A couple kids try to rhyme, they wack.......I hop up there, tell the band to stop.....I wanna flip this shit acapella.........

"Mayday,mayday,/ I lay more bodies to rest than Richard Ramirez in his heyday...."Don't even bother, to step to this saga/ or you'll end up like Michael Jordans father" OUCH....

The packed crowd is going crazy...I'm really rocking this shit....Lauryn is watching me, she's bobbing her head...I'm killing it.............Next thing you know Flavor Flav is on stage, in my face, yelling at the top of his lungs......"Fuck you, I know Michael Jordan, ya'll niggers are over"........He is in my face, the crowd is screaming, I want to knock Flavor Flav the fuck out, I was a teenager at the time, and he was probably in his late 30's- early 40's but I still wanted to put him in a yoke..

I love P.E., they are one of my favorite groups, but I gotta knock Flav the fuck out {Imagine that}.....I look past Flav's shoulder and I spot the S1W 's {Deep}...........I am not knockin anyone out, time to part this crowd like the red sea, and get the hell outta here........................Flavor Flav sonned me, and 16 years later I kinda regret not beating him down....TRUE STORY..

" Live As It Gets: Featuring Del The Funky Homosapien "



Truth be told, " Del " deserves more shines for his contribution to this thing we call Hip Hop...I wasn't really feeling that "Gorillaz" shit, or that "Deltron" project with the Automator all that much, but he has plenty other releases that I give the thumbs up..

I Wish My Brother George Was Here, Future Development, Catch A Bad One, and some of his newer work properly showcase his off-kilter approach to crafting songs ....He is a true original....Who and the fuck sounds like " Del " ?..

Exactly.....No one...And contrary to popular belief, originality will always prevail over your average copy-cat type of M.C.'s...( I will write more about that in my book, stay tuned HAHAH )...

Anyway, here is a live performance by "D" back in 2002...Over an hour of Hiero goodies..

* My favorite quote-----"Give it up for Jam Master J, if ya'll don't give it up for Jam Master Jay I'm walking off this fucking stage right now".......
