Film: Bullet {Metak}
Uloge: Mickey Rourke, Tupac Shakur
Distributer: Vidkom
Film 'Metak' uzeo sam iz video kluba {Zika - na Senjaku} kao
sto i pretpostavljate zbog pojave jednog od najkontroverznijih crnih
muzicara Tupac Shakur-a. Medjutim duboko sam se razocarao. Jedina
stvar zbog koje bi mogao da se pogleda ovaj film je odlicno odigrana
uloga vec pomalo zaboravljenog Mickey Rourke-a. No, da kazemo o cemu
se radi. Posle 8 godina provedenih u zatvoru, Bullet [Rourke] se
nalazi na slobodi. Vraca se svom starom 'poslu' sto se mnogo ne
svidja Tank-u [Shakur] koji upravlja tim krajem.
Tupac ovde glumi, sto bi se reklo, big boss-a, koji svojim
gorilama upravlja iz limuzine (na cijim tablicama pise TANK), ne bije
se sam vec salje nekog svog coveka... Po mom misljenju takva uloga mu
nije odgovarala. Navikli smo da ga gledamo kao obicnog crnca sa ulice
koji pokusava da sacuva svoj deo geta u filmovima Above The Rime,
Deuce, Poetic Justice, tako da verujem da biste i vi imali slicno
misljenje posle gledanja ovog veoma, veoma dosadnog filma koji traje
manje od 1,5h.
Sa druge strane, Rourke je odlicno odradio svoj deo, i to je
razlog zbog koga ovaj film ne svrstavam u 'Sh' produkciju.
Sto se tice soundtracka za ovaj film, nije posebno zanimljiv.
Vecinu stvari (6) uradili u Showbiz & A.G., a ostale stvari su soul
od (barem kod nas) nepoznatih izvodjaca. Tu se nalazi i pesma grupe
Right Said Fred - Too Sexy koje se verovatno secate. Za tu pesmu je
vezan i jedan zanimljiv momenat u filmu:
Dok ceka Bullet-a u pink kadilaku, njegov ortak slusa pomenutu pesmu.
Bullet dolazi i ulazi u kola.
- What's this shit!? How can you listen to this?
Vadi kasetu i pusta jednu pesmu sa soundtracka od Showbiz & A.G.

Ukoliko niste culi:
NOTORIOUS B.I.G (Biggy Small) izresetan je prosle nedelje ispred
jednog nocnog kluba u New York-u. Video sam sta je ostalo od njegovih
kola, tako da nije ni imao sanse da prezivi. Inace, on je bio
osumnjicen da je organizovao prvi atentat na Tupac-a. Skoro je
potpisao i za Bad Boy Entertainment. Producirao je prvi album Junior
M.A.F.I.A.-e (na kome i peva), koji je stvarno odlicno ispao. Uskoro
treba da se pojavi i njegov drugi album koji se zove 'Ready To Die'
(kontroverzno zar ne). Prvi album mu je prodat u preko milion
primeraka. Najveci hit mu je bio 'One More Chance'. Ako se pitate
zasto je izdao samo dva albuma, evo odgovor. Sa 10 godina poceo je da
diluje krek u kraju, i aktivno se bavio kriminalom sve do pre 3
godine (bavio se i posle, ali ne toliko).
Sve u svemu - ONE MORE LEGEND GOES DOWN:(

Dve nove kompilacije posvecene Shakuru upravo su izasle u Americi:
- 'Tribute 9.13.96: An Unauthorized Tribute tp Tupac Amaru Shacur'
Na njoj se nalaze nekoliko repera iz Bay Area i nekoliko starih
neobjavljenih Tupac-ovih stvari.
- 'West Coast Bad Boyz Compilation II'
O njemu ne znam nista:(
rap.14brka,
Tupac-ov izvikani bioloski otac, Billy Garland, nalazi se na sudu, i
trazi deo Tupac-ovog imanja. Niko jos uvek sa sigurnoscu ne zna da li
je on stvarno njegov otac, tako da ne znam da li i ima nekih sansi na
sudu. Ukoliko je stvarno osoba za koju se zalaze da jeste, mislim da
nema prava ni nasta uzimajuci u obzir da je u Tupac-ovom zivotu igrao
tako malu ulogu.
rap.15brka,
Ukoliko ne znate Tupac Amaru Shakur je dobio nagradu za najboljeg rap
izvodjaca (Best Rap Artist) na ovogodisnjoj dodeli Americkih muzickih
nagrada (American Music Awards).

Neobjavljeni materijal grupe Thug Life ciji je najpoznatiji clan bio

Neko je skoro pustio buvu da Makaveli (Tupac) u svom spotu 'To Live
And Die In L.A.' nosi novi model Air Jordan koji se na trzistu
pojavio 4 meseca po njegovoj smrti. Medjutim ta tvrdnja je
opovrgnuta, jer je potvrdjeno da te patike nosi neki debeli i da
uopste nisu Jordan. Inace Nike svojim promoterima nove modele daje i
godinu dana unapred da bi ih bolje izreklamirali.
rap.19brka,
U januaru je u Bay Area na radiju Wild 107 (KYLD 107.7) u San
Francisku neki parapsiholog prizvao dusu Tupaca kroz jednog DJ-a.
Verujte mi, ne znam kako je bilo, ali kazu da je mesec dana pre toga
isto uradila sa caletom Michael Jordana.
rap.20brka,
Na Njujorskom radiju Hot 97 (WQHT 97.1 FM) Wendy Williams je iznela
jednu zanimljivu vest. U Decembru kada je FBI istrazivao Tupac-ovu
smrt i zamolio njegovu majku za izvestaj o smrti (umrlicu) ona je
rekla da je nema i da je nikad nije ni dobila. FBI je pitao u
bolnici, medjutim ni oni je nisu imali. U bolnici su im rekli da je
Tupac napustio bolnicu dan pre nego sto su mediji saopstili da je
umro.
PS. Ovo je jos jedan primer radio stanica koje potpaljuju vatru o
pricama kako je Tupac ziv.
rap.21brka,

Na NBC-ju pocetkom februara u Late Show-u gostovao je Coolio. On je
izjavio da ce Tupac biti na dodeli Grammy nagrada. Voditelj se samo
nasmejao, a Coolio dodao da je to trac koji je cuo (medjutim uopste
se nije smejao kada je to govorio, naprotiv - bio je veoma
ozbiljan).
rap.23brka,
U spotu MC Lyte - Cold Rock A Party jedan covek hoda prema liftu sa
ledjima okrenutim kameri, onda se okrece i rukama pokriva glavu, ali
na sekundu mozete da ga vidite - neverovatno lici na Tupac-a.
rap.24brka,
Tupac ce izdati jos dva albuma. To su 'One Nation' i 'Outlaw
Immortalz'. Takodje treba da izadju jos dva spota (ne zna se tacno
koja).
rap.25brka,
Tupac-ov sledeci album ce biti 'Outlaw Immortalz' uskoro bi trebao da
se pojavi, ali pod nazivom 'Tha Outlawz'. Medjutim pitanje je kako
ce se to izvesti posto je Suge Knight vlasnik Death Row-a u zatvoru
i zabranjeno mu je da iz zatvora upravlja bilo kakvim poslovima.
rap.26brka,
Izasao je i prvi spot sa soundtracka za film 'Gridlock'd'. To je spot
za pesmu Snoop Doggy Dogg and Tupac Shakur - Wanted Dead Or Alive. U
spotu se pojavljuje uzivo samo Snoop, a Tupac se pojavljuje samo kroz
delove iz filma 'Gridlock'd', ali se njegov glas jasno cuje. Spot je
odlican (pustili su ga jednom i na Studiju B).
rap.27brka,
Skoro je na MTV-ju bila neka diskusija sa temom 'Tupac Shakur - Dead
Or Alive'. Jedan od gostiju bio je i Busta Rhymes. On je rekao da
su, kada je Tupac umro, on i NAS imali koncert i da su to saopstili
publici. NAS je zatrazio minut tisine. Veoma lepo od njih, s obzirom
da je Makaveli NAS-a ispljuvao na Don Killuminatiju.
rap.28brka,
The Source je imenovao Tupac-a za repera godine. Mnogi casopisi su
napravili brojeve posvecene ovom kontroverznom reperu. Casopis People
je imao jedan manji clanak o Tupac-u. Tu se nalazila i Snoop-ova
izjava: "....People don't know how deep, loving and caring Pac was.
He was more than a rapper or an actor. He was a real friend."
rap.29brka,
Pre mesec dana Death Row-u je naredjeno da ne sme da prodaje robu
koja ima bilo kakve veze sa Tupac Shakur-om pre nego sto se
konsultuje sa njegovim naslednicima, kao i da im uplate $500,000.
Sudeci po izvestajima, tu odluku je doneo federalni sudija William
Matthew Byrne, tako da Death Row, proizvodjac Cronies i distributor
Globex bez odobrenja suda ne mogu nista da urade. Takodje je na sudu
odluceno da Afeni Shakur dobije 18% od sve prodate robe koja ima veze
sa njenim sinom. To je negde otprilike pola miliona dolara.
rap.30brka,
Na kraju Tupac-ovog (Makaveli) spota za pesmu 'Hit 'Em Up' pise
sledeca poruka: 'Look up for the Outlaw Immortalz cooming soon',tako
da sa sigurnoscu znamo da ce to biti njegov sledeci album, samo ce
mozda biti sa drugim nazivom.

Subject:Onaj cigan iz B3
Re:Svima koji su pisali nesto o tome
Prvo odma da kazem da se u potpunosti slazem sa konstatacijom da je on jedan
najobicniji ciganin i to glup da gluplji ne moze biti(ko ga je bar jednom
slusao kada je negde gostovao,zna o cemu pricam).S druge strane,samo zelim
da uporedim ovu pesmu sa svim ostalim "ukradenim" pesmama u domacoj rap
produkciji(narocito demo).Demo grupe su obradjivale pesme od Ice Cuba,Bone
Thugs N' Harmony itd(da sada ne bih nabrajao sve).Po meni najvece sranje
od pesme koje je ikada neko uradio je Plan B-"Menace II Sociaty".Ako je
neko cuo tu pesmu(cak postoji i spot za nju),ja mislim da mora da se slozi sa
mojom konstatacijom.Pesma od B3 "Nema pravde" je za ovu Ilinu pesmu ne
umetnicko delo vec i vise od toga.Samo da podsetim:po glasanju u emisiji
"Geto" od pre jedno 1,5 godine,Plan B je najbolja domaca rap grupa(Plan B
deset bodova,.....,Robin Hood 2 boda(tj. glasa).187 ima pesmu koja je samo
prevedene reci jedne jako,jako poznate pesme.Takodje,nagradno pitanje:
Kakve veze ima Sunshine sa grupom Young Soldiers?Pa onda oni momci sto
imitiraju stil Bonea.Zato kada objektivno sagledamo sve,ja mislim da je,iako
je cigan,dancer ili kako ga ko vec zove,B3 uradio pesmu(iako ju je ukrao,a to
danas svi rade,zar ne?) veoma dobro(cak je i jedan deo dobro odrepovao :)).
Inace,ime je dobio zato sto se zove Buljazment ili Bljazment*(pa ga zovu Baki),
a za trojku nemam pojam(mozda zato sto se lepo slaze sa ovim B).
Toliko od mene.

rap.108brka,
13. maja u Beograd dolazi BODYCOUNT, i svirace u hali Pionir.
Za one koji mozda ne znaju najpoznatiji clan ove HC grupe je
ICE T. Pretpostavlja se da ce on odsvirati neku svoju pesmu
(verovatno samo ako mi to budemo trazili), ali nemojte se
zaludjivati time da ce ovo biti njegov koncert. Bez obzira na
to, 100% ce biti zanimljivo jer ce pored ostalog svirati i nesto
sa novog albuma 'Violent Demise: The Last Days'. Na albumu se
nalazi i pesma koja nastavlja njihovu tradiciju kontroverznosti
'I Used To Love Her', u kojoj se govori o slucaju OJ Simpsona:
"Not guilty?/What the fuckin' you talkin' about/You got a bloody
glove, bloody car, bloody knife, bloody bitch, bloody carpet,
bloody sock, bloody hand!" Ice T je za The LA Times izjavio:
"When we were making the record, OJ was on every fucking channel,"
"I said, 'Doesn't everybody know he killed her?' Goddam! What the
fuck? White people are saying,'The black people are gonna get mad.'
Black people don't give a fuck about OJ. They don't give a fuck
about OJ or Rodney King because their brother or father is in jail.
No trial, no DNA test, nothing."
PS. Nadam se da znate ko je OJ Simpson ;)

Album: The Show soundtrack
Song: Natural Born Killaz
Journey with me
into the mind of a maniac
doomed to be a killer
since i came out the nutsac
im in a murderous mindsate
with a heart full of terror
i see the devil in the mirror
BUCK BUCK, Lights out
cause when i get my sawed off
niggaz get hauled off
*Barrel one
touches your motherfuckin flesh
*Barrel two
shoots your fuckin heart out your chest
you see Im quick to let the hammer go click
on my Tec-9 so if you try to reck mine
fool its your bad time
feel the blast of the chocolate bomber
Infra red aimed at your head
like your name was Sarah Conner
decapitatin I aint hesitatin
to put you in the funderal home
with a bullet in your dome
Im hot like lava
you got a problem?
I got a problem solver
and his name is revolver
its like a deadly game of freeze tag
I touch you with a 44 mag
and your frozen inside a boddy bag
nobody iller
than this grave yard filler
cap peeler
cause im a natural born killa
(Ice Cube)
Terror illistrates my era
now i cant hang around my momma
cause i scare her
Im quick to blast motherfucker
(yeah whats up)
it feels like im bustin a nut
when i open you up
cause your body is exposed to the midnight mist
all you weak motherfuckers give my ring a kiss
cause im givin dirt naps
comin with them bomb ass raps
to make your lungs collapse
perhaps, you never sleep
cause evertime you doze
you catch blows to the motherfuckin nose
aint seen the sun, in 66 days
let me count the ways ^in a fucked up maze^
I never ever ever made a ho stay
but Im down with Dre
like AC is down with OJ
so fuck how your livin
Im the unforgivin
psycho drivin
murdera
its authentic
dont panic
i cant stand it
God Damn it
Scizophrenic
so FUCK CHARLIE MANSON
Ill snatch him out of his truck
hit em with a brick
and im dancin
(Mass Murderer, Natural Born Killla,
And I dont wanna die
I DONT WANNA DIE
I DONT WANNA
I DONT WANNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA DIE!!!!!!!!!!!)
(Ice Cube)
I dont understand the logic in my dreams
but i understand i like the sound of Sireens
terrified screams from the streams
of Stricnine(sp?)
dumpin on any motherfucker tryin to trick mine
cause motherfuckers wanna violate
now they stiff and cold
and they pupils wont dialate
ITS SO MUCH PAIN
MIGRAINE
headache
I can hear his bones break
he steps in the single door
gets his ass whipped with 20 lashes
like that dude up in Singapore
so Im a pull a fuckin Jeffrey Dahmer
now Im suicidal, just like Nirvana
(Dre)
Tic Toc
Toc Tic Toc Tic
Dr Dre and Ice Cube on some murderous shit
keepin niggaz in order
makin there live shorter
ready to slaughter
cause to me a life aint worth a quarter
or a dime
mushroom's got my mind
hallicinatin
aint no debatin
im creatin an escape
route to be out without a doubt
Scot Free, so dont even think about tryin to stop me
cause i cant wait
im out the gate
on the for realla
a thrilla
or a natural born killa
(CUBE)
GI-GI GI-GI GAGA
THEY CALL ME DADA
6 million ways to murder
choose 1
lose one soul
bodies turn cold
natural fright from Niggaz goin bump in the night...

Svrstavam ih uz Rage Against The Machine, na primer. Ne znam da
li za taj "pravac" ima neko ime.
"Jačina", koju spominješ, nije nužna odlika kora. NoFX, na
primer, ima mnogo mekši zvuk od BCa, a 100% je kor.
Body Count, posebno prvi album, nema dodirnih tačaka sa pankom, a
ponegde čak liči na metal.
Mislim da svrstavanje BCa u kor potiče od toga što ljudi ne znaju
gde da ih opredele; teške gitare, nije metal - mora da je kor.

Djusa su pretukli zato sto je ukrao ime grupe (FULL MOON) nekim
tipovima pa su odlucili da ga malo prevaspitaju.

I ja isto idem subotom samo zato jer nema drugog mesta gde mogu
da slusam muziku po mom ukusu (dobro, tu nekad us?ru...:) ) i da
na miru cirkam pivo.
Jednom se neko pozalio da se reperi uopste ne javljaju na Sez-u.
Mislim da bi bilo O.K. da se ljudi pocnu javljati i cisto da se
komunicira, a ne ono kad se neko javi pa ga neko isproziva pa mu
ovaj vrati i na kraju se cela grupa medjusobno isproziva...
Za sada je cool.

Poslednji put kada sam ja bio subotom u Oxygene-u, bila je
totalna katastrofa. Basovi prejaki, vokali se uopste nisu
culi, tako da je bilo vrlo tesko i prepoznati pesmu. Na ulazu
se ispred svakih mogucih vrata se cekalo po desetak minuta
bez veze... A i pocele su svakakve face da se pojavljuju tamo
i cini mi se, svaki put sve mladji... Najgore je to sto je
uvek poluprazno, pa je atmosfera uglavnom jednaka nuli.
DJ fura neki svoj fazon i konstanto smara...
Sve u svemu, kad bih davao ocenu (1-10), jedva da bih dao 2.
>P.S.: E, sta je sa Industrijom, ima li tamo zivih ?
Imas nedeljom, DJ je Gunjandrej iz 'Who Is The Best', ali
nije samo hip-hop, vec ima R'n'B-ja itd...
Ranije je bilo i utorkom, DJ Sonja, ali ne znam da li ima
jos uvek...

Ja sam bio okačio taj tekst, ali samo prvu strofu (ne znam, možda je
još neko okačio celu). Al evo:
Misli mene gone sve do vasione
i na tome putu mraka zvezde me se klone
zato nebeski sjaj kao energije prah
posipa mi telo i oduzima dah
i koga ja to sledim, s kime istinu da delim
to samo gore zna ona i ja
koji spreman je poći na tvoj mali mig i mah
da blizinom odagnaš meni strah.
Samo reci "a" i dolazim ti ja, ti pozovi me.
Srce kuca jako dok savest mene vodi
koja popušta polako jer srcu to ne godi,
i lagano ludi, i hoće da izludi,
kao nečiji ljubimac ja ostao sam klinac
i ma koliko blizu, na dohvatu mu ruke
ta sjajna tačka beži i stavlja ga na muke
koja dala mu je sve, moj krvi davaoče,
beži (......?.......) dragi mama i oče...
Samo reci "a" i dolazim ti ja, ti pozovi me.
Onda sve to ponavlja Bane.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gledam kroz prozor, dan je kul
Yo, I don't wanna go to school
Bežim sa časa matematike
Pa, kom opanci, kom ribok patike
Za izostanak ću lako, ja sam varalica
Profane farbam kao farbalica (?!)
Dole na ćošku, društvo se zeza
Uz zvuke džeza, pije se pivo i kabeza
Taj dosadni ćošak život mi uzeo
K'o zamrzivač ja sam ga zamrzeo
Kao Mister No i njegov Pajper
Tako i ja vozim bajs, a-ha
U mojim rukama, poster i snajper
Moja je meta, Mišel Fajfer
Ako je Leonard Kračo, Leni Krevitz
Leonard Koen je Leon
Onda sam ja Kazanova
Lukav i kul kao kameleon
Novi ???, i nova bluza
Loša kopija Tomislava Kruza
Djani Versaći, DeMikelis
Ej, Djani rampa na grani
Prilazi tip, kakav je to car
On hoće na bajsu da mi pregleda far
"Ej, care koliko košta drumarina?"
Kakav car, pa to je carina. Ajde?!
Zabranjuje mi ulaz zbog neuredne plakete
Počinje da preti instaliranjem rakete
Aj, raketa-rake-take-take, bum
I'm getting petting, kad se setim
Kakvi su Srbi kad im neko preti
Ba-ba-bam-bam-bam neću ništa da znam
Nisi dovoljno brz... bam!
Dao sam gas do daske, pedale škripe, metci prašte
Znam da je moje mesto preko, ali ja sam već daleko
I čujem njihove čuvene reči: FBI, ne mrdaj, stani
Imaš pravo na advokata, ako si advokat možeš sam da se braniš
Čikago je grad veoma gadan,
A ja sam žedan, pomalo gladan
Da mi je jedna praška šunka
Malo praška i šunke trunka
Pred njenom kućom su gadne zveri
Šverceri i ratni profiteri
Jedan od njih, k'o Džeki Čen
Reče mi da je čuvar njen
"Nećeš videti Mišel Fajfer,
ja održavam ovde red
Vaša je ljubav santa leda"
Ona je santa, ti si led, a-ha
Neka hvala nije Mirko budala
Točkom od bajsa ga gazim po nozi,
Gde je Mišel, nećete me prevariti
Sad će te videti kako se vozi
Ja ću te spasti Mišel...
Čuvari padaju krv šiklja, ne bi to opisao ni Igor Miklja
I kao princ na belom konju, ja na biciklu otimam Nju
Zaboravi Holivud draga Mišel, idemo kod mene ja te volim
Samo ga... Samo se čvrsto drži, pokazaću ti kako se pravi film
Moje biciklo seče ulice, vodi me osmeh poznate glumice
Svaki džukac vidi guzu moje curice
Vožnja bicikle se brzo uči, ko je blesav da negde trči
Nema goriva ni do Češke, ko je blesav da ide peške
Ja sam probio svu blokadu
Već je nastao haos u gradu
Ta-ra-ri-ra-ra-ra-ra-ri-ra-raaa
Predsednik Klinton uvodi racije
Nato pakt i Ujedinjene nacije
Ceo Čikago hvata požar
Hiljadu policajaca jure Džordža
Searching the plane to Vrčin
Odmah, kod pilota utrčim
Sva su sedišta dupke puna
Dupe je napeto kao struna
Ali možda zna, možda zna Evropa ko sam ja
Možda čak i Lejdi Di isto za mene zna, nego šta
Poštovani putnici bez panike sad
Ovaj avion ide za Beograd grad
Andjeli govore sleti dole, lepe stjuardese me mole, pliz
A ja odgovaram kratko na poziv, avion ima eksploziv
Mi stižemo u Beograd, ruka mi žili, avion pleše kao Mili Vanili
Cela nacija navija za mene, ja sam otmičar Američke žene
Cela nacija seče vene, ja sam otmičar Američke žene
Cela nacija navija za mene, ja sam otmičar Američke žene
O, kako ti se sada svidja Beograd, madmuazel?
Mišel, Mišel, Fajfer, prateći vokal, prateći vokal

Ali sto se tice Trga i platoa, do bre 5 meseci mozda malo
vise nije bilo ni 20 ljudi ukupno, sad ih ima koliko god hoces :))

Film WHO'S THE MAN? snimljen je 1993, režirao ga je Ted Demme
(inače tadašnji producent YO! MTV RAPS-a), glavne uloge su
voditelji gore pomenute emisije Ed Lover i Dr. Dre, u ostalim
ulogama se pojavljuju isključivo raperi i voditelji sa MTV-a,
pravih glumaca nema. Film je komedija, i nije loš...

bune idioti nesto " ko to kopira sve su nasi textovi "

sici dole, ali on nije sisao kao da je znao sta ga ceka ako

neki klinci "reperi" koji su zvizdali drugoj predgrupi (Channel

E nisam se lepse smejao u skorije vreme.(citao sam poruke od
24.05.97)
Neko me je pitao odakle sam al ne znam ko pa koga zanima ja sam sa
Labudovog Brda (pre Petlovog B. a posle Vidikovca).
------>stomak mi se prevrne...i onaj znak koji niko ne zna da
nacrta
Sto se tice WTC-ovog "zastitnog znaka" trebalo bi da dodjete kod
mene u skolu pa da vidite tugu.Ono nije cak ni ptica.Strasno...
------->tuzan primer
Zimus smo na Trgu naleteli na jednog "repera" koji je izveo devojku
na pice u SEGA VIDEO SHOW gde smo mi dosli.Decko je imao dres od
par stotina DM, neke polu-siroke pantalone, nove patike i devojku
koja je najteza sponzorusa ikad vidjena ispod 18 godina.Glavu su mu
krasili marama i pogled tipa "ja sam najludji, bezite od mene".Malo
smo ga zajebavali (malo vise :)), pa je on ustao i krenuo sa ribom
da ode.Ja ne mogu da vam opisem kako je on isao.Prvo sto se sirio a
la "baki, sine",pa je mlatarao rukama dok ide, poskakivao, itd...
Sta da kazem ... bilo nam ga je zao.Toliko neznanje i foliranje, to
da je hteo ne verujem da bi mogao.
------>a to za trg ne vidim da ih ima nesto puno
Na Trgu nisam bio mesec dana, ali verujem da ih ima malo jer ipak
je kraj skole i mora da se uci :)
Najveci problem u svemu je sto RAP polako (najvise mislim na
domaci) izlazi underground-a i pocinje da se komercijalizuje, sto
ne valja.Jer, nekoliko stranih repera (da ih ne imenujem) cim naprave
dobru pesmu odmah se trude da je iskomercijalizuju i pokupe pare.
Sve to cuju nasi debili i repsponzorke ( :) ) i odmah hoce da budu
isti kao i oni.Sta se dobija ======> mnogobrojni primeri iz autobusa,
itd. Jer vecina od njih se oblaci tako jer se tako oblace i
montenigersi i gru i ila i da ih ne nabrajam dalje.

Rekao bih se da 99,99% repera u gradu (da ne kazem u svetu)
ne razlikuje od opisa (bar figurativno). Rep muzika se kao
pokret skroz "izvrnula" i postala nesto strasno ogavno (na

Autor: N.W.A.
Pesma: A BITCH IS A BITCH
Album: Straight Outta Compton
Datum: 1989.
Pravi autor ove pesme je Ice Cube, ovo se odnosi na praktično SVE pesme
koje je uradio dok je bio u N.W.A. Ostali članovi su se samo ograbali
o njegov talenat na ovom albumu. Jedna od najboljih rap pesama o ženama.

Autor: Eric B. & Rakim
Pesma: KNOW THE LEDGE
Album: Don't Sweat the Technique
Datum: 1991.
Ova pesma je korišćena u filmu 'Juice'. Inače, Rakim-ov vokal je, zajedno
sa Chuck D-jevim (Public Enemy) i KRS-ONE-ovim (Boogie Down Productions),
ubedljivo najprodorniji i najupečatljiviji. Pesma je zakon...

Cypress Hill "PIGS"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This pig harassed the whole neighborhood,
Well this pig worked at the station.
This pig he killed my Homeboy,
So the fuckin' pig went on a vacation.
This pig he is the chief,
Got a brother pig, Captain O'Malley.
He's got a son that'a a pig too,
He's collectin' pay-offs from a dark alley.
This pig is known as a Narco,
If he's a pig or not, we know that he could be.
This pig he's a fuckin' fag,
So all his homepigs they call him a pussy.
Well this pig he's really cool,
So in this class we know he rides all alone.
Well this pig's standin' eatin' donuts,
While some motherfuckers out robbin' your home.
This pig he's a big punk,
And I know that he can't stand the sight of me.
'Cos pigs don't like it when ya act smart,
And when ya tell 'em that you're gangsta mentality.
This pig works for the mafia,
Makin' some money off crack.
But this little pig got caught,
So when he gets to the Pen it's all about the pay-back.
'Cos once he gets to the Pen,
They won't provide the little pig with a bullet-proof vest.
To protect him from some mad nigga,
Who he shot in the chest and placed under arrest.
An' it's all about breakin' off sausage,
Do ya feel sorry for the poor little swine?
Niggas wanna do him in the ass,
Just ta pay his ass back, so they're standin' in line.
That fuckin' pig!
Look what he got himself into!
Now they're gonna make some pigs feet outta the little punk!
Anybody like pork-chops?
How 'bout a ham sandwich?
How 'bout a ham sandwich?

Potpuno se slazem sa tobom.Jer covek vise ne moze ni da popamti sve
ove nove grupe koje se samo serviraju iz Amerike ovim nasim "novim"
reperima.Bre,pa to je skoro sve fuseraj da ne moze biti veci.A deca
ko deca,uzimaju sve sto im se daje,samo da slucajno ne bi znali
manje od svojih drugova ili da bi mogli da se hvale da su culi
nesto sto niko drugi nije i uvek uz to ide konstatacija "sto je
dobro!!!!!!!".E to vidite nije dobro,uopste nije dobro.Kao primer
cu vam navesti samo dva bisera iz velikog opusa onoga sto sam cuo
na raznim rep vecerima unazad godinu-dve pa do sada.
--Bus 23,vracamo se iz Pionirskog grada sa koncerta:
I:E jesi cuo onu pesmu "Jump" , kako je dobra(Jump Around prim.aut.)

Upravo o tome čovek priča. Ko si ti (ili bilo ko) da odlučuješ o tome

Kakav si ti bre covek??? Sta te boli kakav je ko. Ako ti se ne svidja

i grupa nije po mom ukusu, ali ja ipak necu da pljujem po njima, svako
je u nekom svom fazonu...
Moderatoru 1 molba: da ne brise poruku, ovo nije poruka uvredljivog

U pravu si. Ne treba kritikovati narodnjake. Kao ni 2paca. Neka svako slusa
sta mu se svidja (ili bar sta misli da mu se svidja), ali bar neka se pise
(ako se pise) u odgovarajucim temama. 2pacu nije ovde mesto (opet je to moje

Pa i to sto kazes...
Problem je u tome sto ima dosta ljudi (i toliko cudi :)) ), ja sam za to,
samo sto sam osetljiv po pitanju toga sta slusam, ali nije frka, nadam se
da se niko nije nasao uvredjen, moze biti da ja gledam jednostrano...:)
Ali eto npr. sto neki ljudi ne vole 2pac-a;
-ne svidja im se njegov stil...
-"prodao se" (???)
- ...
Gledaj na to s ove strane: on je od pocetka bio iskren - ako moze da od
svojih pesama uzme pare, rekao je; onda OK - uzecu pare
A, sad budite posteni - vi ne biste uzeli pare (milione $) da mozete...
Ali uvek je ostao dosledan, i svom nacinu zivota, one ljude koje ne voli
(s razlogom -> kradu mu pesme) javno isproziva (setite se "Hit 'em Up")
pa makar ga to kostalo..., svoje ortake nikad nije zaboravio.
A, iznad svega ja kad ga slusam, ja njegove pesme prvo osetim pa onda cujem.
Nije to onaj klinacki fazon 2pac je moj idol i sl. sranja...
Isto tako volim i Cypress Hill zato sto rade tako uduvane pesme, pa ih tako
i slusam (u tom stanju), sto se toga tice najjaci su....:)))
Bone Thugs-n-Harmony -> mocno,mocno,mocno (Creepin On Ah Come Up - da se zna)
I eto, neko ce na ovo reci cool, covek slusa fine stvari...
Neko ce pak reci sranje, to nije rap, a da ih pitam sta je onda to, ali u biti

Nije. Problem je što je on uvek bio 'prodat'...
Da bi se neko 'prodao' (tj. da bi prešao u komercijalu) on mora prvo
da bude van komercijale (da bude hardcore, underground...) on to naravno
nikada nije bio...

Evo posto vidim da se ovde zahuktala rasprava
moram i ja da se ukljucim :))
Prvo zasto mesate CYPRESS HILL sa ostalim grupama
kada to ne moze da se strpa u vrecu sa ostalima
Oni su tolko dobri da njihova najgora pesma
ne postoji jer su skoro sve podjednako ravne
ALi zato postoje i najbolje u rap-u a to su njihove !
Jedino sto im zamera je tsto su onu pesmu sa TEMPLES OF BOOM
BOOM BIDDY BYE BYE uradili sa onom "soul" grupom FUGEES
Ali sta ces !!!
I znate po cemu je njihova originalnost po tome sto oni ne rade
na foru east west nego su ne zavisni i zato ne mogu da se stave
nigde ajde kolko ljudi koji ih "kao" slusaju znaju odakle su
p averovatno malo Zato sto ej to i njihov cilj tj. bio cilj
Da nisi postali ljubomorni mamu im narkomansku !!!
I samo da kazem da nema grupe koja moze da im se poredi
a ja pored njih slusam i bone ali samo 1 album i HoP koji
nisu ni preterano dobri ni losi i da WU-TANG koji na albumu
ENTER THE WU-TANG 36 CHAMBER nemaju po meni ni jednu sranje pesmu
Ali jebiga znao sam da ce da se sranje dogodi sa 2 albumom
zato ga necu ni slusati da ne pokvarim misljenje Mada postoji
strava pesma REUNITED ali nema veze 1 je zakon !!
ajde naka kaze neko 1 pesmu ko je slusao celu kasetu
da je sranje i zasto !!!!
rap.381miloscar,
I samo da dodam nesto u raspravi oko bone
Onaj ko ih ne slusa misli da su sranje
zato sto na mnogo rap kompilacija ima pesma sa
njihovog drugog albuma 1 ST OF DA MONTH sto je ne vidjeno
sranje kao i ceo drugi album ali nisu oni prvi takav slucaj
posto im je prvi album bio najprodavanji album u SAD
ne neznam tacno dali 93 ili 94 a to je zato sto im je
sve uradio ERICK WRITGH I sto je strava ispalo
6 pesama svaka je strava mislim bas dobra pogotovu
1 strana !! Ali opet nemogu ni da se priblize
Momcima iz cypress hill-a
Ali opet nije puno takvih a i ne treba da ih bude !!!
P.S. Jel znate kolko ima ljudi u gradu kkoji se
"kao" primaju na C.H. a ne znaju ni ko su clanovi
ni cak kolko ih ima skandal mislim e od toga mi se
povraca !!!

Sto se tice on-going rasprave oko 2PACA, s'obzirom da sam ja
to na neki nacin zapoceo, red je i da doprinesem diskusiji...
Errrm...
Drustvo moje, konferencije i sluze izmedjuostalogizato da se u
njima iznose misljenja, vode konstruktivne diskusije etc,etc.
Mozda takva mala uskocica kao sto je "2PAC SUX" i sluzi za
animiranje ove teme. Ako neko misli da nisam u pravu sto se
tice dwopeka, i ima potrebu da me ubedi da njegova muzika ima
nekakve veze sa rap-om, samo napred. Meni licno on i vecina "repera"
sa MTV-a idu na zivce, i njihova muzika mi vise lici na nekakav
niggerski pop nego na rep. A cini mi se da je i on sam, kao osoba
overhypovan, verovatno zbog toga sto su ga oladili.

Sto ga ja ne volim:
muzika mu je preslaba za moj ukus (ili premeka), sem toga mislim
da to nije rap, bar ne po mojim pojmovima, i to pre svega tematski.
Zato mene i nervira veliki deo danasnje rap scene: izgubili su ideju.

Komercijala je vestacki pojam. Ko kaze da komercijalna stvar ne moze da bude
dobra?
Sem toga veliko je pitanje sta spada u komercijalu, a sta ne.

EJ dosta sa tim sta sada je svako glavni rap-er ko sto
vise ispljuje 2-pac-a i sto vise ga ocrni osto neko ne pocne
da crni nekog debelog sa istoka ko duplo veci komercijalista
ali pola vas nije ni culo za njega nego svi znaju da je
2-pac sranje sranje i nije rap ej kakva je to glupost
sta je to aa funky ej znate kolko grupa ima sto se vode
kao rap a nisu ni blizu rap on je bio potpuno u tom fazonu
To sta ce da peva bilo mu je nametnuto ceo talas naseg rap krenuo
je pod njim kako moze neko da kaze da nije rap !!
Jel slusao neko HIT 'em UP to je pesma zakon i ja zato necu da kazem
da je on sranje iako ga ne slusam samo kazem da nije bio
za to gangstersko sranje nije imao talenat za rap !!
Ali se trudio A svi vi koji ono niej 2-pac rap to je neko sranje
nikad ga nisam slusao jet istina da je imao 2 solidne pesme po
albumu ali i tako je bolji od nekih !! Ja ga ne volim iz cistog
razloga sto mrzim svako gangstersko sranje i to kao
face u odelima znate ko je govnar onaj nas i ostali
mafijasi a da slusam gangsta rap sigurno bi 2-pac bio u
mom repertoaru i zato ostavite 2-pac-a svako ima svoj ukus
muzike !!! Ta rasprava se odvija izmedju chill-a i thug-a

Cypress jeste zakon! Ali samo prva dva albuma, treći je OK, ali nije

Može, tu i tamo (Insane in the Brain, New Jack Hustler, Walk this Way...)

Nije to toliko komlikovano. Vrlo jednostavno. Ako neko pravi muziku
onako iz zajebancije (da ne kažem iz ljubavi), pa sad ta pesma postane
hitić (tj. mediji je isforsiraju, tako da se svidi prosečnim, površnim
slušaocima muzike) to je OK. Ali kada neko počne pesme da pravi SAMO
da bi zaradio pare (vidi pod 2pac, Snoop, Fugees i sl.) to je komercijala.
Pojam komercijala se odnosi na proces stvaranja, na način razmišljanja
prilikom pravljenja pesama. Zato veliki raperi (Public Enemy, Ice-T,
Ice Cube, BDP i sl.) izdaju najviše po jedan album za 18 meseci...
Kažu da je posle (navodne) smrti Šupac-a ostalo oko 200 njegovih pesama!!!
Čoveče... pa koja je to mašinerija, niko ne može da me ubedi da to nije
komercijala, pa ko normalan može da ima 200 pesama u šteku, užas...

Stop! Evo ga. Prosecan ljubitelj koji muziku deli na komercijalnu i ona
koja to nije.
Molim te da me ispravis ako nisam u pravu: Znaci, ja bih morao da znam
zasto neko zeli da pravi i pravi muziku. Kada to saznam, onda, ukoliko
je pravi da bi zaradio pare - to je komercijala i to ne slusam, a ako je
pravi radi svog zadovoljstva, onda to nije komercijala i to slusam.
Cudno, a ja sam mislio da se muzika slusa zato sto mi se svida.

Naravno da nisi u pravu. To se sve vidi kroz samu muziku. Najčešće su
prvi albumi najiskreniji i najoriginalniji. Posle, ako dopustiš da te
producenti uzmu pod svoje, gotov si. Ako neko počne da prati trendove,
ako počne da se šlihta publici, i da ne pravi ono za šta on misli da je
zaista OK, već pravi ono za šta zna da će se svideti publici... Eee tu
već nisu čista posla. Naravno, promene su neminovne, ali jedno je slediti
neke uticaje samo zato jer se oni dobro prodaju, a drugo je polako se
vremenom menjati...
Najkonkretniji primer 'prodavanja' je N.W.A. Oni su bili mnogo dobra grupa.
Članovi su bili: Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Easy-E, MC Ren i Yella... U početku su
se pojavljivali po kompilacijama, da bi 1988. izdali genijalan debi album
Straight Outta Compton. Taj album je za to vreme bio nešto neverovatno,
zajedno sa Ice-T-jem (Rhyme Pays) i BDP-om (Criminal Minded), predstavljao
je početak gangsta rapa. Što se zvuka tiče, taj album se uzima za prvi album
tzv. New Jack Switch-a na koji su se kasnije svi (više-manje) primili.
Šta se onda desilo? Videvši koliko para mogu da namlate, odmah su se oko
njih nakupili raznorazni japiji i krvopije. Da tragedija bude veća svi
članovi (osim Ice Cuba) nisu imali ništa protiv. Tako da su već sledeće
godine dobili novog menadžera (belca, jevreja). Tu su počele svadje i
preseravanja. Svi osim Ice Cube-a su se odselili iz Comptona (na koji
su tako mnogo bili ponosni na prvom albumu). Ice Cube, koji je uporno
insistirao da ostanu hardcore, da se ne prodaju, napustio je grupu i
otišao u New York. Ovi picopevci su ostali u radili su SVE što su produ-
centi zahtevali od njih. Tako da su postali upravo ono protiv čega su
najviše i bili dok je Ice Cube bio sa njima, napravili su od sebe
ono što je svaki belac u Americi želeo da vidi, umesto grupe drskih i
pametnih crnaca, koji imaju nešto pametno da kažu, postali su gomila
tupana koja po ceo dan psuje, puškara, pije, i ne radi ništa... Žalosno.
Njihov drugi album (Niggaz4life, 1991.) je živa sramota za rap. Ceo
album je snimljen za 4 meseca, što samo po sebi već dovoljno govori...
Niggaz4life je totalno blaćenje svega onoga što je do tada bilo uradjeno
u rap muzici. Kao da su se utrkivali medju sobom ko će više puta da kaže
'fuck' ili ko će sebe da predstavi kao veću stereotipnu crnčugu. Na tom
albumu su se mogle i čuti izjave tipa "I call myself a nigga 'cose I
gotta gun..." ili "I call myself a nigga 'cose I talk all that shit...".
Posle ovoga albuma su se raspali...
>> Cudno, a ja sam mislio da se muzika slusa zato sto mi se svida.
Izmedju ostalog i zbog toga...

Pogledaj jednu od chill-ovih poruka (reply) od pre neki dan (mislim juce)
i reci mi da je to rasprava tj. diskusija. U toj poruci nema nista imalo
konstruktivno ni za decju svadju, a kamoli raspravu, posebno zbog toga
sto je veoma grubo izvukao moje reci iz kontexta....
Ali necu da se smaram time, niti da ulazim u diskusije koje nisu to, ja
shvatam da ima dosta rapere (izvodjaca), a to je dobro jer svako moze
naci nesto za sebe, za svoju dusu.
Chill, ti verovatno najvise slusas Ol' School, mani se to bas ne dopada,
ali ako je to tvoj fazon, mene nije briga, ja licno vise volim rap od '93
pa nadalje, ali ne zelim da pomislis (posto imam takav osecaj) da sam ja
jedan od onih napaljenih klinaca koji gutaju sve i svasta (muzika mislim...)
Kao klinac sam slusao sve i svasta (nemojte da tripujete, nisam nisko padao...)
sve dok se nisam pronasao u rap-u.Slusao sam tada sve, jos imam kuci
Public Enemy, Ice-T, NbN,a sada sam malo odredjeniji, ali kao sto vidis ja
NIKADA ne bih pljuvao po nekome i pisao "P.E. SUX" jer svoje misljenje drzim
za sebe, a mislim Mango bese rekao da nece da cuti ko pionir ili sl., ali to
nije cutanje, jer takva izjava nije baza za diskusiju vec klasicna prozivka...
Ubedjenja je najteze menjati...
Ostajte u zdravlju...

Ali da budem jasan, 1. album mu je stvarno dobar, a i imam osecaj da
rade dobre pesme dok ne stisnu jace pare, onda pocinje foliraza...
Ali 2pac je do kraja ostao "true to the game" nije nikoga
zaboravio, svi ce reci da je bio dobar drug, i nije krenuo sa foliranjem
kao Snoop.
Sad cete reci, dobro, a sta je onda Rolex, 1-2 kg nakita....
To je tamo u fazonu, steta je sto su to ovde dizeli i cigani istrosili pa je

To samo moze da znaci da nije lezilebovic, u fazonu puca mu k**ac, on je

Sad ces reci; pesme su mu bez veze.
Znaci ako se neciji album prodaje onda je to zato sto su mu pesme bez veze!?
Zaboravih da spomenem i to zasto neki ljudi smatraju 2pac-a komercijalom.
Kao zato sto se poceo intenzivnije prodavati (albumi) i slusati posle
"smrti". A ja sam slusao 2pac-a i davno pre toga, tako da nisam jedan od "onih"
nalozenih !

koliko ima clanova?? Mene npr. nikad nije interesovalo
da saznam ko su ti ljudi koji rade ono sto mi se svidja

Problem je što većina tih 'rapera' i nemaju neke veze sa pravim rapom. :)
Oni sami sebe prozivaju raperima, a sirotinja raja se odma' primi. Tako da
kad neko 'izabere nešto za svoju dušu' on misli da sluša rap, ne shvatajući
da je to daleeeeko od toga...
Meni ne smeta što vi slušate Šupac-a, Snoop-a, Bone Thug i sl. Ali čemu
insistiranje da je to hardcore rap? OK, istina je da oni (koliko-toliko)
rapuju, ali prošla su vremena kada je rap bilo sve ono što nije pevanje!
Rapovanje kao način interpretiranja tekstova pesama je davno prešlo okvire
rap muzike. Sad svi rapuju, iako su muzičke podloge soft-funk, soul i sl.
Sami ste se prozvali G-Funkom (Warren G.), eto, budite G-Funkeri, ne
laskajte sebi da ste raperi!

Nije se folirao?! Pa, jel si ti, bre, njega video dok je bio u Digital

osrednjoj grupi on se isticao po džiberizmu. Posle, kada sam ga video u

Da te pitam, sta ti podrazumevas kad se kaze da rade (neki izvodjac, grupa...)
radi(e) na albumu: kao da oni taj trenutak sednu i smisle (stvore) 15-ak
pesama?
Oni imaju vec uradjene textove, mozda cak i instrumentale, a kad treba uraditi
album onda se te stvari doteravaju, modifikuju...

saznati sa intro-a doggfather I tako je veliki deo vremena
proveo u zatvoru ili na sudjenju i sada je pusten i uradio
je drugi labum za jako kratko vreme !!!
A 1 album je jako dobar zato sto je dre bio producent a
svi znamo st to znaci a on mu je pomogao oko albuma]
zato sto su njegov mladji brat W-G ,NATE DOG ,SNOOP DOGGY D.
Imali grupu zaboarvio sam kako su se zvali !!!
I tako je pocelco prijateljstvi izmedju snoop-a i dre-a
i svi znamo da je to bilo strava DEEP COVER !! Ali nije dugo

posto ne slusam rap nego disco ili funk pa mi ti objasni sta je
rap i koje su to grupe najbolje i jel znas bar po 10 pesama od
svake grupe mora da ih ima barem 5 sigurno je tako !!!!
Ajde molime te nabroj ako ti nije tesko ali ako ne znas
smisli molim te nesto originalno a ne nesto u stilu
"BAS CU SAD TEBI DA BRAJAM" ili "KO SI TI DA SE JA TEBI PRAVDAM"
Bas me zanima zivo koje su te grupe i dal je to sve strava

Nemoj krivo da me shvatis. Kakvu cu muziku tj. grupu slusati ovisi o mom
raspolozenju, a sem toga vec sam rekao neke vise, neke manje.
Npr. kad mi dodje devojcica necu da pustam nesto jace (Wu i sl.) vec nesto
neutralno, 2 Live Crew, nesto tako, opet ovisno sta radimo :)
A, sem toga mene nije sramota reci isto kao ni chill-a, sta sve (ali SVE)
slusam. Fala bogu da mi svi nemamo iste ukuse, kad bi ti rekao sta SVE
slusas, naravno da bih nasao nesto sto se meni ne dopada...

I'm countin' down to the day deservin'
Fittin' for a king
I'm waitin' for the time when I can
Get to Arizona
'Cause my money's spent on
The goddamn rent
Neither party is mine not the
Jackass or the elephant
20,000 nig niggy nigas in the corner
Of the cell block but they come
From California
Population none in the desert and sun
Wit' a gun cracker
Runnin' things under his thumb
Starin' hard at the postcards
Isn't it odd and unique?
Seein' people smile wild in the heat
120 degree
'Cause I wanna be free
What's a smilin' fact
When the whole state's racist
Why want a holiday Fuck it 'cause I wanna
So what if I celebrate it standin' on a corner
I ain't drinkin' no 40
I B thinkin' time wit' a nine
Until we get some land
Call me the trigger man
Looki lookin' for the governor
Huh he ain't lovin' ya
But here to trouble ya
He's rubbin' ya wrong
Get the point come along
An he can get to the joint
I urinated on the state
While I was kickin' this song
Yeah, he appear to be fair
The cracker over there
He try to keep it yesteryear
The good ol' days
The same ol' ways
That kept us dyin'
Yes, you me myself and I'ndeed
What he need is a nosebleed
Read between the lines
Then you see the lie
Politically planned
But understand that's all she wrote
When we see the real side
That hide behind the vote
They can't understand why he the man
I'm singin' 'bout a king
They don't like it
When I decide to mike it
Wait I'm waitin' for the date
For the man who demands respect
'Cause he was great c'mon
I'm on the one mission
To get a politician
To honor or he's a gonner
By the time I get to Arizona
I got 25 days to do it
If a wall in the sky
Just watch me go thru it
'Cause I gotta do what I gotta do
PE number one
Gets the job done
When it's done and over
Was because I drove'er
Thru all the static
Not stick but automatic
That's the way it is
He gotta get his
Talin' M.L.K.
Gonna find a way
Make the state pay
Lookin' for the day
Hard as it seems
This ain't no damn dream
Gotta know what I mean
It's team against team
Catch the light beam
So I pray
I pray everyday
I do and praise jah the maker
Lookin' for culture
I got but not here
From jah maker
Pushin' and shakin' the structure
Bringin' down the babylon
Hearin' the sucker
That make it hard for the brown
The hard Boulova
I need now
More than ever now
Who's sittin' on my freedah'
Opressor people beater
Piece of the pick
We picked a piece
Of land that we deservin' now
Reparation a piece of the nation
And damn he got the nerve
Another niga they say and classify
We want too much
My peep plus the whole nine is mine
Don't think I even double dutch
Here's a brother my attitude hit 'em
Hang 'em high
Blowin' up the 90s started tickin' 86
When the blind get a mind
Better start and earn while we sing it
Now
There will be the day we know those down and who will go

Možda najbolja rap pesma. Nastala (kao i ceo album) posle ogromnih
rasnih nemira u Los Andjelesu (i ostalim velikim gradovima SAD-a),
krajem aprila 1992. Uticaj je očigledan! Ako ne slušate rap, ipak
skinite ovu pesmu... Sidu leči! :)
U spotu za ovu pesmu 'glavne uloge' tumače Anthony i Flea iz grupe
Red Hot Chili Peppers, a Ice Cube šeta bradu na kojoj bi mu pozavideo

Artist: Notorious B.I.G.
Album: Life After Death
Song: Hypnotize
Verse 1:
Ha. Sicker than your average.
Poppa twist cabbage off instinct niggas don't think
Shit stink. Pink gators.
My Detroit playas.
Tims for my hooligans in brooklyn.
Dead right if the head right Biggie there e'ry night.
Poppa been smooth since days of under rules
Never loose. Never choose to bruise crews who
do somethin' to us.
Talk goes through us.
Girls walk to us, wanna do us, screw us. Who us?
Yeah Poppa and Puff.
Close like Starsky and Hutch.
Stick the clutch.
Can I squeeze three at your cherry M3?
Bang every MC easily, easily
Recently niggas frontin ain't sayin' nutten.
So I just speak my peace, keep my piece.
CUBANS with the jesus piece.
With my peeps. Packin', askin who want it.
Ya got it nigga flaunt it.
That Brooklyn bullshit, we on it.
~~chorus~~
Biggie, Biggie, Biggie can't you see?
Sometimes your words just hypnotize me.
And I just love your flashy ways,
Guess thats why they're broke and your so paid.
(repeate 2x)
verse 2:
I put hoes in N.Y. onto DKNY.
Miami, D.C., prefered Versache.
All Philly hoes dont want more Skee Lo.
Every cutie with a booty bought a Gucci.
Now whos the real dooky?
Meaning whos really the shit?
The niggas ride dicks.
Frank white push the 6 or the Lexus LX 4 and a half.
Bullet proof glass tints if I want some ass.
Gonna blast research, ask questions like
That's how most of these so called gangstas pass.
At last a nigga rappin bout blunts and broads, tits and bras,
Mana je tout. Sex in expensive cars.
And still leave you on the pavement.
Condo payed for, no car payments.
At my araignment note for the plaintiff.
"Your daughters tied up in a Brooklyn basement"
Face it not guilty thats how I stay filthy.
Richer than Richie till you niggas come and get me.
~~chorus~~
Verse 3:
I can fill you with real millionaire shit.
Escargo, my car go 160 swiftly.
Reck it buy a new one.
Your crew run run run.
Your crew run run.
I know you sick of this
name brand nigga with flows,
Girls say he's sweet like licorish,
So get with this nigga it's easy.
Girlfriend heres a pen call me round ten.
Come through have sex on rugs that's Persian.
Come up to your job hit you while your workin.
For certain, Poppa freakin not speakin.
Leave that ass leakin' like rapper dumb on.
Tell 'em move, take your clothes off slowly.
Hit 'em with the force like hobbie.
Dick back like toby.
Watch me roam like roam-ay.
Lucky they don't owe me.
Where the safe show me, Home-ay.

Pesma: WHERE'S IT AT
Album: Which Doobie U B? (1993)
Vreme: 3:31
Dok su ostali članovi njihovih grupa džabalebarili, DJ MUGGS (Cypress Hill)
i DJ LETHAL (House of Pain) nisu sedeli skrštenih ruku. Okupili su 3 rapera
(jedan indijanac, jedan portorikanac, i jedan klempavi crnac) i nazvali ih
FUNKDOOBIEST, uradili su im CEO album, i... tako je nastalo novo čudo iz
produkcije Soul Assassins-a.
Do sada su izdali 2 albuma ('Which Doobie U B?' i 'Brothas Doobie'). Odlični
su. Mešavina Cypress Hill-a i House of Pain-a (što je i očekivano) :)

Notorious B.I.G.- Biography
"I was a full time 100 percent hustler. Sellin' drugs, waking up
early in the morning, hitting the set selling my shit 'til the
crack of dawn. My mother goin' to work would see me out there in
the morning. Thats' how I was on it."
Twenty-year-old, Brooklyn born and bred, B.I.G., also known as Biggie
Smalls, also known as Chris Wallace, used to be a hustler, but now
he has other things occupying his time. Over the last two years, he
has rapped on Mary J. Blige's remixes of "Real Love" and "What's
The 411," appeared in Supercat's "Dolly My Baby" video, had his own
single, "Party and Bullshit," from the Who's The Man? soundtrack,
and performed at shows all over the country. With '94 comes B.I.G.'s
debut album, Ready To Die.
B.I.G.'s minimal exposure to the public has been more than enough to
have the underground hip-hop heads finding for more of his
crystal-clear, captivating rhymes. His lyrical style could also be
described as listener-friendly, because every single word is
decipherable and the details that he weaves together will paint
the entire picture for you. At the end of a B.I.G. rhyme, you can
visualize what happened just as clearly as if you were watching a
movie.
B.I.G. is considered the mayor of his Bed-Stuy neighborhood.
Everyone knows his big, black, towering presence as barks out like
an army general. Everybody speaks to him, from old ladies to little
kids, and he has something to say right back to all of them. "Hey,
Ms. Price! How's your on doing?...Damn, boy. When are you gonna cut
that box off your head?"
Back in the day (not really the day, more like '90-'91) when his
"business" was in full swing, he rapped a little bit too. He had a
rep in the neighborhood, "cause everyone knew I had skills or
whatever." But he was just having fun, the rap stuff was secondary.
"I used to hang out with the OGB Crew, the Old Gold Brothers, over
on Bedford Ave," B.I.G. explains. That's where he got his start.
They weren't a rap crew, but one of them had turntables in his
basement, so they would go over and make tapes. Tapes started to
circulate around their Bed-Stuy neighborhood, but for B.I.G.,
"It was fun just hearin' myself on tape over the beats."
Still with no real intentions of making a record or getting a
deal, his tape was passed on to Big Daddy Kane's DJ, Mister Cee,
who lived in the neighborhood and made tapes. Cee thought it was
o dope that he took it to Matty C up at The Source to get in
their "Unsigned Hype" column. The Source liked it so much that
they asked him to appear on a compilation album of their best
"Unsigned Hype" winners. The album never came out but Common
Sense, Back II Back, Mobb Deep and B.I.G., all scheduled to be on
the album, ended up with record deals.
Everything sort of took B.I.G. by surprise. He had never thought of
getting a record deal, yet within a couple of weeks he was in
The Source on the compilation album and penning a deal with Uptown
Records. Sean "Puffy" Combs, Uptown's National Director of A&R at
the time, saw something in B.I.G. and took him in as family. Riding
on his success with Mary J. Blige and Jodeci, it was not a matter
of "will this album be dope," but "how dope is it going to be?"
"Puffy helped a lot with the A&R," says B.I.G. "It was a lot of
stuff he made me do over. He wasn't trying to rush nothing. He
treated my album like an R&B album. As far as pitch, breath control
all that shit, he was making sure my shit was right."
They finished the album, but then Puffy left Uptown and started
his own label, Bad Boy Records. without Puffy, Uptown decided they
didn't want to handle B.I.G., so they dropped him. But Bad Boy was
right there to pick up where Uptown left off. "This is what we
always wanted," insists B.I.G. "I wanted to go to Puff's shit
because I knew if I went to that nigga's shit it'd be 100 percent
correct."
Ready To Die, produced mostly by Easy Mo Bee, with additional cuts
by The Bluez Bruthas, Trak Masters and Lord Finesse, is a heavily
R&B-flavored, cut and dry mixture of "gangsta" subject matter and
East Coast rhyme skills. Example? On "Everyday Struggle" Big sets
up a scenario where he and his man are driving down South to take
over a drug spot. "I had the master plan/I'm in the Caravan/On my
way to Maryland/With my man Two Techs to take over these projects/
They call his 'Two Techs' he totes two techs/ And when he starts to
bust he likes to ask, 'Who's next?"
Now, be careful and don't let the titles fool you. "Friend of Mine"
is a cut with B.I.G. talking about pimping: "When I'm fuckin' off
gin, I'm invincible/Don't love those ho's that's my principle." And
"Me and My Bitch" is actually a love story where his girlfriend ends
up dying in the end.
He mentions his mother several times throughout the album, clearly
because she was a big part of his life even through his eyes, it
wasn't always the best. "When I was little, my mom used to shit
on me," he says. During the trip across Ready To Die, you'll see
his relationship with his mother comes full circle. First, he's
little and his mom ain't giving him shit, then he's making money
as a rapper and she's sporting minks on her back, and finally,
she develops breast cancer and B.I.G. shows his first signs
of emotion.
On "Gimme The Loot," Biggie, along with his alter-ego, plan a
no-shorts-taken robbery spree. Wu Tang Clan's Method Man contributes
to "The What," and reggae diva Diana King shows up on "Respect," a
song about Biggie coming up.
The Notorious B.I.G. has come up. And after riding along with
Mary J. Blige for a minute, it's time for him to come out.
Nevermind the title, he's not "ready to die." This is only the
beginning.

DJ Muggs Present The Soul Assassin's, Chapter One
The production history of DJ Muggs over the past few years has been
uneven. The sound of 1995's "Cypress Hill III: Temples of Boom"
showed little of the energy or inventiveness which Muggs injected
into his earlier works with House of Pain, Funkdoobiest, and Cypress.
The rugged loops and unique sampling which characterized these
earlier offerings were replaced with muddy-sounding beats which
all seemed to run together. With Cypress Hill's 1996 offering,
"Unreleased and Revamped", Muggs seemed to be getting back on track
with beats that recalled his glory days as well as new loops which
signaled much-needed growth for the producer. For 1997, Muggs is
back with his own album to showcase his talent and the talent of the
numerous guest MC's. The results are worth your cash, but that's not
to say it's a flawless effort.
Production-wise, the album is solid. Muggs did a damn good job, but
in many cases he's merely imitating the established sound of the
artist he's producing. For example, the Dr. Dre track "Puppet Master"
sounds alot like a Dre beat (albeit without the terrible sounding
synthesizer Dre is so fond of). The Wu Tang track "Third World"
sounds almost exactly like a RZA beat, and the same can be said of
the Mobb Deep track. However, Muggs offers up a hefty dose of his
own sound on Goodie Mob's "Decisions, Decisions", and the Cypress
song "Battle of 2001" sounds like something from the Muggs glory
days of "Black Sunday". "Move Ahead", the KRS track, is full of
KRS's righteous anger and is one of the album's finest moments.
And Wyclef's "John 3:16" finishes the album on a strong note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
MUGGS
In the realm of hip-hop, there are two rules. The first says that
there are no second chances for those who come to the battle with
wack beats. The second is that you're only as good as your next
record. Back in 1993 -- while his group Cypress Hill was enjoying
universal respect from the leading lights of the hip-hop community
and enormous worldwide prosperity from the Hill's triple
platinum-selling second album, Black Sunday -- the creative wheels
inside of producer DJ Muggs' mind began to turn.
With a discography including producer credits for Ice Cube, as well
as remixes for the likes of U2, Me'Shell Ndegeocello and Janet
Jackson, Muggs became enticed with the idea of putting together
MUGGS PRESENTS... THE SOUL ASSASSINS, a solo album full of his own
joints and some fresh faces. But there was a problem: Muggs could
easily craft the beats, but rhyming wasn't really his forte. "I'm
not a rapper and I never aspired to be one," Muggs admits. "So I
thought long and hard how I could go about doing this."
The concept was hot, but Muggs' Soul Assassins project was destined
to percolate for awhile. Muggs spent two years touring the world
with Cypress Hill in support of the groundbreaking Black Sunday
before heading back into the lab to write and produce the group's
third platinum album, III (Temples of Boom). Once that record was in
the can and on the charts, Muggs began seriously woodshedding and
mulling over various approaches to the making of his solo album.
After watching the methods of the legendary producer Quincy Jones,
Muggs realized how he could make his dream into a sonic reality.
"The way that Quincy Jones does his thing is that he does all of
the music and then invites guest artists and friends to come into
the studio," Muggs says. "Right then and there I knew that was the
way to go. Then I talked to a bunch of friends of mine who I had met
in the rap game throughout the years, as well as other people who
I knew I wanted to work with. I started getting in touch with people.
Everyone was down and I started knocking out tracks."
While MUGGS PRESENTS...THE SOUL ASSASSINS manages to gather together
some of the best names in hip-hop under one umbrella, Muggs also
wanted to showcase the skills of Atlanta's underrated Goodie Mobb
in addition to some younger talent he'd come across. So Muggs
recorded cuts with Wu-Tang Clan protÚgÚ LA The Darkman; Mobb Deep's
homies Infamous Mobb; and Call O' Da Wild, a New York outfit who've
toured extensively with Cypress Hill and will release its own
Muggs-produced debut later this year.
Production of the star-studded MUGGS PRESENTS...THE SOUL ASSASSINS
began in July 1996. The top notch array of talent on the album reads
like a Who's Who of Hip-Hop: Dr. Dre, Cypress Hill's B-Real, RZA and
GZA/Genius from the Wu-Tang Clan, the Fugees' Wyclef (a good friend
of Mugg's who'd done a remix of Cypress' "Boom Biddy Bye Bye"),
Goodie Mobb, KRS-One, Mobb Deep, Infamous Mobb, MC Eiht, and LA The
Darkman. Understandably, the artists' conflicting schedules made
creating the album an often tricky proposition while the diversity
of their styles added to the spontaneity and musical magic of the
project.
One big creative departure on MUGGS PRESENTS...THE SOUL ASSASSINS is
the back-to-back conceptual juxtaposition of "Third World" and
"Battle Of 2001" -- a pair of apocalyptic futuristic tales of
hip-hop crews (played by Wu-Tang Clan and Cypress Hill, respectively)
residing on an island trying to fend off government oppressors while
maintaining a mountain range stronghold. "With the RZA/GZA track
'Third World,' my man who works with me ran into them and he calls
me up and goes, 'Yo, Muggs, I got GZA here. Book studio time in an
hour!' Then the next day he calls me up again and says he's got
RZA: 'Yo, Muggs, I got RZA -- let's do it!'"
The same scenario happened with Havoc and Prodigy of Queensbridge's
street-savvy clique, Mobb Deep. "I played them six tracks and we
just did it," says Muggs. "The same with MC Eiht; I flew in from
L.A. to New York and we met at D&D Studios. He was incredible. He
sat, heard three beats, picked out the one he liked, wrote his
lyrics and we were done in two and a half hours. Boom!"
"Puppet Master," the tense, stark opus which teams Cypress Hill's
B. Real and the venerable West Coast funkologist Dr. Dre proved
to not only be a meeting of the minds, but a testament of mutual
professionalism. "I've worked with young artists in the studio
who've given me mad problems," Muggs winces, "but Dre -- who's had
all of this success already -- was really cool and totally on point.
We talked about the track for a while before he laid his vocals
and he was so flexible. He wanted it to work as much as I did and
he really came through with something special."
One of the biggest treats for Muggs working with the legendary
mic blaster, Boogie Down Bronx's KRS-One. "It was a dream come true
for me to work with him," beams Muggs. In fact, they hit it off so
well that KRS-One asked Muggs to produce "Can't Stop Won't Stop"
for his forthcoming album. "I idolized him when I was coming up and
it was people like KRS-One, Chuck D. and EPMD who inspired me even
before I started to make my own beats. He was dope!"
Working with talented young guns as well as some of the most
established MCs in the biz not only allowed Muggs to conjure some
bona fide hip-hop magic on tape, the experience personally provided
him with a fresh perspective, one which he says will no doubt pay
off in dividends on the next Cypress Hill extravaganza.
"While working on this album I realized that rappers are all going
to the same point, but everybody's heading there through a different
set of directions," he summarizes. "They're all geniuses and I
learned a lot from working with these artists. I have my way of
working, but watching others opened my mind up to some new ideas.
The whole vibe was great and nothing was thought out too much."
By maintaining a varied musical diet -- which includes everything
from brooding British trip-hop to seething alternative music -- Muggs
is continually absorbing new sounds and ideas, blending them
together, and taking them to the next level of expression. With
plenty more dope beats stashed away in the vault until they propel
Cypress Hill and the Soul Assassins to even higher plateaus for
the next millennium, DJ Muggs is a hip-hop icon who won't stop
rocking until long after he retires.

July 29- Ice Cube's New Krib Ripped-Off
Two robbers broke into the Encino, California home of Ice Cube and
got away with cash, electronic equipment and a 1995 Dodge van that
belonged to the man supervising some construction at the home. During
the Thursday robbery, the culprits burst in on construction supervisor
Delbert Clement and terrorized the man for an hour with loaded
weapons. Ice Cube and his family had not yet moved into the $2.36
million mansion that was purchased in June of last year. So far there
are no suspects.
This is the latest in a series of home invasion robberies in Los
Angeles' San Fernando Valley. The home of Dr. Dre's girlfriend was
robbed, as well as that of a rock musician and three other Valley
residents.

Bone Thug Arrested For Strip Club Conduct
Rapper Charles "Wishbone" Scruggs, of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, was
arrested at a strip club in the group's home town of Cleveland last
week, after a scuffle that arose after Scruggs allegedly slapped a
stripper on her buttocks. According to Scruggs' attorney, the rapper
was simply taking in the show when someone in his party slapped the
stripper's bottom, and she in turn slapped Scruggs. The rapper then
asked management for an apology. When management allegedly refused
this request, Scruggs asked them to call police to sort out the
situation, which they did by promptly arresting him and the rest of
his party.
Scruggs was released on bail after being charged with aggravated
disorderly conduct, which carries a maximum penalty of six months in
jail and a $1,000 fine. Scruggs' attorney says he's pondering a
suit against the club for assault.

Coolio Finds Inspiration In The Strangest Places
In case you didn't think Coolio reached far enough back into music
history with his 70s era Stevie Wonder sample on "Gangsta's Paradise,"
you should be thrilled with his new single. On "C U When U Get There"
from the "Nothing ToLose" soundtrack, the rapper turned to the 17th
Century for inspiration, sampling a recording of Pachelbel's "Canon."
While Coolio found his musical vision in Pachelbel's work, the rapper
looked elsewhere for lyrical inspiration."What it means to me is,
you're thinking," Coolio told MTV News of the song's message. "What
I mean by 'when you get there' is if you're thinking in terms of
uplifting yourself and uplifting those around you, then you're
there."
"C U When U Get There" rises to number 16 on this week's "Billboard"
pop singles chart.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Legal Battle Over Eazy-E's Estate
Another salvo was reportedly launched on Friday in the legal battle
over the estate of late rapper Eazy-E. The Associated Press reports
that Ruthless Records, Tomica Woods (Eazy-E's widow), and Ronald
Sweeney are charging the rapper's former manager, George Heller,
with draining excess profits from the rapper in a suit filed Friday
in Los Angeles Superior Court. The AP reports that the estate claims
Heller created a hidden expense account for himself with Ruthless
Records funds. The estate also reportedly accuses Heller of taking
more than his share of profits from Ruthless, and of failing to
share in the company's losses. Heller himself had reportedly already
filed a suit of his own against Ruthless on June 6 claiming that he
helped the rapper build Ruthless into a successful label, and
consequently was due 20 percent of the company's profits.

July 24- What Happened To Tupac's Millions?
According to an article called "Tupac's Missing Millions" in the
current issue of "Entertainment Weekly," it is alleged in Afeni
Shakur's lawsuit against Death Row Records that her son was billed
$23,857 for Porsche repairs. However Tupac didn't own a Porsche, but
Death Row head Suge Knight did. Tupac was also billed $120,000 for
rent on a Malibu home. Tupac didn't live there, however Death Row
attorney David Kenner did. Other funny charges billed to Tupac were
$2,700 in child support for another Death Row act's child, and a
$115,507 charge for jewelry bought from the business of a friend of
Suge Knight. Knight says the jewelry was a gift to Tupac, but Knight
never paid the bill.
And (as if all that wasn't enough), Tupac's real father is still
alive. (The story was Tupac's father, a Black Panther, died before
he was born. And that he was raised partially by his stepfather.)
Apparently his biological dad is a man named Bill Garland, a former
Black Panther and truck driver. He's suing, saying he's entitled to
half of Tupac's estate. DNA test prove that Garland is in fact
Tupac's father. Afeni has admitted that Garland is the father, but
says he is not entitled to any of Tupac's estate because he did not
provide support or care for Tupac as a child.

Young MC Has New Album
Young MC is back with a new album, "Return of the 1 Hit Wonder." His
single "On & Poppin'" has made it onto Billboard's rap chart. Young
MC, who hasn't had a significant hit since "Bust A Move" in 1989,
also wrote the Tone Loc hits "Wild Thing" and "Funky Cold Medina."

July 22- Bone Thugs-N-Coins
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony fans who weren't already planning to buy the
group's forthcoming CD, "The Art of War," due July 29th, might be
enticed by a unique marketing vehicle from the Camelot Music record
chain. Camelot, which has 315 stores in 35 states, is offering Bone
Thugs fans an opportunity to win a sterling silver coin inscribed
with the band's logo on one side and the album's title on the other.
The first 100 fans who pre-order the new CD through Camelot's website
(www.camelotmusic.com) will receive the silver coins. There are
also 15,000 identical bronze coins, available while supplies last,
for retail customers at the chain's stores. The members of the group
were also given 100 of the silver coins for their own use, according
to a Camelot representative.

July 18- Suge Knight's Home, Girlfriend Robbed By Gunman
An armed burglar reportedly broke in to the home of jailed Death
Row Records CEO Marion "Suge" Knight on Tuesday, locked Knight's
girlfriend in a bathroom, and stole $50,000 worth of cash and
jewelry. According to the Associated Press, the woman returned to
the Los Angeles home that Knight was renting, and discovered a man
ransacking the house.The woman, whose name is being withheld by Los
Angeles Police out of concern for her safety, was locked in the
bathroom with a friend while the robber escaped with the loot. Police
told the AP that the robber is still at large. Knight has been
serving a nine-year prison sentence for probation violation since
November.

July 14- LL Cool J Releases Autobiography
Rapper/actor LL Cool J will publish two separate editions of his
autobiography, "I Make My Own Rules," this September. St. Martin's
Press editor Greg Cohn says the reason for the dual editions is
because LL wanted to "come clean about his past," but "he realized
that some material might be considered objectionable or too explicit."
While Cohn declined to comment on the "objectional" matter, the
uncensored version will carry a parental advisory sticker.

Zašto se ova pesma nije našla na Ice-T-jevom petom albumu "Home Invasion"?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"When I finished my next album, "Home Invasion", for a November 15, 1992,
release, Warner Brothers was biting its nails. WB had album reviewed by
a "chrisis attorney", an attorney who assesses potential problems...
(...)
This was the first work I'd put out since the "Cop Killer" incident. So
he listens to the record and finds a new places, where the album, he
decides, will couse problems. Refrences to the cops here and there, which
I didn't give a fuck about...
(...)
Now, the release date's here and everything is cool. They haven't decided
to change any of my words. We got beyond that. But they did come at me with
one song that worried them: "Ricochet". The song starts out:
"You go on and on, and you don't stop,
You got sticky sneakers from the blood of a shot cop..."
I explained to them that the record was already out on Ricochet Soundtrack.
And that they have nothing to worry about cause the song already had reached
the public:
"The FBI wouldn't fuck us with that", I told them.
"They might... The risk is to high!", they said...
(...)
I decided that "Ricochet" was already out as a soundtrack single, since it
was already an old song: Fine, I'll drop it, and I'll create new songs rather
than fight over an old record that's already been out..."

> Nabavio sam neke pesme sa 1 albuma grupe Bone thugs n harmony.
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony izdali su 3 albuma:
+ Creepin On A... koji je ustvari EP, tj. ima cini mi se 6-7
pesama (mrzi me sada da trazim kasetu). Na njemu se nalazi
njihova mozda najbolja pesma - Tuggish Ruggish Bone. Inace
album je producirao Eric Wright a.k.a. Easy E {R.I.P.}.
+ Eternal E - E.1999 koji, po mom misljenju i nije nesto
posebno. Jedino znacajno pomena na njemu su da je imao dva
hita - Crossroads (Remix) i 1st Of Tha Month.
+ Art Of War, dupli album, izasao je sredinom avgusta. Jos
nisam imao prilike da ga preslusam, ali prva dva singla
obecavaju (Look Into My Eyes i Thug Luv).

Drugi takodje nije za bacanje, cak sta vise..!
E sada, ovaj treci nisam cuo skroz, ali , bre skoro sve ih razumem

malo su ispali iz stila, barem sam stekao takav utisak.

Posto sam stvarno pogresio povodom nabrajanja albuma Bone-Thugsa,
pokusacu sada da je ispravim:
+ Prvi album Bone-Thugsa je 'Faces Of Death' koji su oni izdali o
svom trosku, i prakticno je bio underground. Izdat je '91. godine.
+ Drugi album - 'St. Claire Streets'.
+ Treci album - 'Creepin' On Ah Come Up'. To je, kao sto sam i rekao
EP, i prva saradja Easy-E-ja sa Thugsima. Dostigao je cetvoro-
struko platinasti tiraz.
+ Cetvrti album - 'E. 1999 Eternal'. Takodje produkcija Easy-E. Izasao
je 1995. godine.
+ Sledi kompilacijski album 'Mo' Thugs Family Scriptures' na kome se
nalaze i Band Aid Boys.
+ I na kraju novi album 'Art Of War'. Recenzija za njega - kada
dodje...
Cya
PS. Sada sam dobro razmislio o onome sto pisem, tako da mislim da
nisam pogresio.

F I G H T T H E P O W E R
(Shocklee - Sadler - Ridenhour)
1989 the number, another summer (get down)
Sound of the funky drummer
Music hittin' your heart cause I know you got sould
(Brothers and sisters, hey)
Listen if you're missin' y'all
Swingin' while I'm singin'
Givin' whatcha gettin'
Knowin' what I know
While the Black bands sweatin'
And the rhythm rhymes rollin'
Got to give us what we want
Gotta give us what we need
Our freedom of speech is freedom or death
We got to fight the powers that be
Lemme hear you say
Fight the power
Chorus
As the rhythm designed to bounce
What counts is that the rhymes
Designed to fill your mind
Now that you've realized the prides arrived
We got to pump the stuff to make us tough
from the heart
It's a start, a work of art
To revolutionize make a change nothin's strange
People, people we are the same
No we're not the same
Cause we don't know the game
What we need is awareness, we can't get careless
You say what is this?
My beloved lets get down to business
Mental self defensive fitness
(Yo) bum rush the show
You gotta go for what you know
Make everybody see, in order to fight the powers that be
Lemme hear you say...
Fight the Power
Chorus
Elvis was a hero to most
But he never meant shit to me you see
Straight up racist that sucker was
Simple and plain
Mother fuck him and John Wayne
Cause I'm Black and I'm proud
I'm ready and hyped plus I'm amped
Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps
Sample a look back you look and find
Nothing but rednecks for 400 years if you check
Don't worry be happy
Was a number one jam
Damn if I say it you can slap me right here
(Get it) lets get this party started right
Right on, c'mon
What we got to say
Power to the people no delay
To make everybody see
In order to fight the powers that be
Fight the Power

Pesma: JUMP AROUND
Album: Fine Malt Lyrics
Pack it up, pack it in
Let me begin
I came to win
Battle me that's a sin
I won't tear the sack up
Punk you'd better back up
Try and play the role and the whole crew will act up
Get up, stand up, come on!
Come on, throw your hands up
If you've got the feeling jump across the ceiling
Muggs is a funk fest, someone's talking junk
Yo, I'll bust em in the eye
And then I'll take the punks home
Feel it, funk it
Amps it are junking
And I got more rhymes than there's cops that are dunking
Donuts shop
Sure 'nuff I got props from the kids on the Hill
Plus my mom and my pops
Chorus:
I came to get down (2x)
So get out your seats and jump around
Jump around (3x)
Jump up Jump up and get down.
Jump (18x)
I'll serve your ass like John MacEnroe
If your steps up, I'm smacking the ho
Word to your moms I came to drop bombs
I got more rhymes than the bible's got psalms
And just like the Prodigal Son I've returned
Anyone stepping to me you'll get burned
Cause I got lyrics and you ain't got none
So if you come to battle bring a shotgun
But if you do you're a fool, cause I duel to the death
Try and step to me you'll take your last breath
I gots the skill, come get your fill
Cause when I shoot ta give, I shoot to kill
Chorus
I'm the cream of the crop, I rise to the top
I never eat a pig cause a pig is a cop
Or better yet a terminator
Like Arnold Schwarzenegger
Try'n to play me out like as if my name was Sega
But I ain't going out like no punk bitch
Get used to one style and you know I might switch
It up up and around, then buck buck you down
Put out your head then you wake up in the Dawn of the Dead
I'm coming to get ya, coming to get ya
Spitting out lyrics homie I'll wet ya
Chorus
Jump (32x)
Yo, this is dedicated
To Joe, da flava, Dakota
Grag yo bozac, punk...

Da Lench Mob se pominju u mnogim Ice Cube-ovim
pesmama, iz prostog razloga jer ih je on i stvorio!
Ono što je Ice-T za Everlast-a (House of Pain),
ono što je Jam Master Jay (Run DMC) za Onyx,
ono što je DJ Muggs (Cypress Hill) za Funkdoobiest,
to je Ice Cube za Da Lench Mob... :)
Kada se Cube iz LA preselio u New York okupio je
oko sebe gomilu crnaca da mu glume 'ekipu' (drugim
rečima: da mu se uvlače u dupe)... E, ta 'ekipa' su
Da Lench Mob. Kasnije su i oni objavili dva albuma...

Sto se tice pesama:
Za Wu Wear i Rebel Without A Pause procesljaj malo temu rap u
ovom i proslom izdanju konferencije muzika.
Changing Faces neces naci, jer ovde skoro niko ne slusa R&B
(to skoro je zbog mene - ja slusam po malo).
Za Kris Kross nisam siguran ali mislim da ga nema, a ne znam
ni sta ce ti, jer mozes da je naucis napamet posle 2 slusanja.

PUBLIC ENEMY "Rebel Without a Pause"
(Ridenhour - Shocklee - Sadler - Rogers)
YES! - the rhythm, the rebel
Without a pause - I'm lowering my level
The hard rhymer - where you never been I'm in
You want stylin' - you know it's time again
D the enemy - tellin you to hear it
They praised the music - this time they play the lyrics
Some say no to the album, the show
Bum rush the sound I made a year ago
I guess you know - you guess I'm just a radical
Not a sabbatical - yes to make it critical
The only part your body should be parting to
Panther power on the hour from the rebel to you
Radio - suckers never play me
On the mix - just O.K. me
Now known and grown when they're clocking my zone it's known
Snakin' and takin' everything that a brother owns
Hard - my calling card
Recorded and orderd - supporter of Chesimard
Loud and proud kickin' live next poet supreme
Loop a troop, bazooka, the scheme
Flavor - a rebel in his own mind
Supporter of my rhyme
Designed to scatter a line of suckers who claim I do crime
Terminator X
From a rebel it's final on black vinyl
Soul, rock and roll comin' like a rhino
Tables turn - suckers burn to learn
They can't dis-able the power of my label
Def Jam - tells you who I am
The enemy's public - they really give a damn
Strong Island - where I got 'em wild and
That's the reason they're claimin' that I'm violent
Never silent - no dope gettin' dumb nope
Claimin' where we get our rhythm from
Number one - we hit ya and we give ya some
No gun - and still never on the run
You wanna be an S.1 - Griff will tell you when
And then you'll come - you'll know what time it is
Impeach the president - pullin' out the ray-gun
Zap the next one - I could be you're Sho-gun
Suckers - don't last a minute
Soft and smooth - I ain't with it
Hardcore - rawbone like a razor
I'm like a lazer - I just won't graze ya
Old enough to raise ya - so this will faze ya
Get it right boy and maybe I will praise ya
Playin' the role I got soul too
Voice my opinion with volume
Smooth - no what I am
Rough - cause I'm the man
No matter what the name - we're all the same
Pieces in one big chess game
Yeah - the voice of power
Is in the house - go take a shower boy
P.E. a group, a crew - not singular
We were black Wranglers
We're rap stranglers
You can't angle us - I know you're listenin'
I caught you pissin' in you're pants
You're scared of us dissin' us
The crowd is missin' us
We're on a mission boy
Terminator X
Attitude - when I'm on fire
Juice on the loose - electric wire
Simple and plain - give me the lane
I'll throw it down your throat like Barkley
See the car keys - you'll never get these
They belong to the 98 posse
You want some more son - you wanna get some
Rush the door on a store - pick up the album
You know the rhythm, the rhyme plus the beat is designed
So I can enter your mind - Boys
Bring the noise - my time
Step aside for the flex - Terminator X

Song: A Gangsta's Fairytale
(Intro: Little Russ, Ice Cube)
[story-teller] Once upon a time, in the black part of the city...
[young kid] Yo G, yo G you better get out of here man,
5-0 (door swings shut, car peels out)...
[Russ] Yo Ice Cube, man
[Cube] Whassup man?
[Russ] Why you...
[Cube] Whassup?
[Russ] Yo Ice Cube man, why you always kickin the shit about
the bitches and the niggaz?... Why don't you kick some
shit about the kids, man? The fuckin kids?!
[Cube] Word...
(Verse One: Ice Cube)
Little boys and girls, they all love me
Come sit on the lap of I-C-E
And let me tell ya a story or two
About a punk-ass nigga I knew
Named Jack, he wasn't that nimble, wasn't that quick
Jumped over the candlestick and burnt his dick
Ran up the street cause he was piping hot
Met a bitch named Jill on the bus stop
Dropped a line or two, and he had the hoe
At that type of shit he's a pro
So Jack and Jill ran up the hill to catch a lil nap
Dumb bitch, gave him the claps
Then he had to go see Dr. Bombay
Got a shot in the ass, and he was on his way
To make some money, why not?
Down on Sesame Street, the dope spot
There he saw the lady who lived in a shoe
Sold dope out the front, but in back, marijuana grew
For the man that was really important
Who lived down the street in a Air Jordan
Ride to the fellow Mister Rogers and hoes
Drove a 500 sittin on Lorenzoes
He broke out, Little Bo Peep, smoked out
Saw, her and her friends sellin sheepskins
[Little Bo Peep] Yo yo I got them sheepskins
Yo, my empty sheepskins
Yo baby, what's up with that?
Hickory dickory dock, it was twelve o'clock
Cinderella ain't home must be givin up the cock
I don't doubt it, she is kind of freaky of course
Had a fight with Snow White, she was fuckin her dwarfs
Saw a fight over colors, too
Red Riding Hood, and Little Boy Blue
A bad influence? Yo I don't know
But Ice Cube'll tell the kids how the story should go
(Interlude: Little Russ)
Yeah money, that's it, yeah money, that's it
This is Little Russ in the house
Rock that shit homey, rock that shit!
[Well, you know the rest]
(Verse Two: Ice Cube)
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
With a joint, drinkin some 8-ball
Three little pigs in a Coup de Ville
Lookin for, the wolf to kill
They're fucked up and they want revenge
Them and Humpty used to be friends
Now they're enemies cause he's a traitor
Pulled out the Uzi cruised by and sprayed him
Cinderella hoeing for the fellas
And Mister Rogers is gettin mighty jealous
Of the cash that the pigs were makin
Time for the pigs to get turned to bacon
Cause Mister Rogers found out quick
That Humpty Dumpty was blown to bits
They said that the motherfuckin wolf was next
So Mister Rogers better watch his step
So he let the wolf know
We're gonna fuck up the pigs, and take their ho
Cause Cinderella is much too fast
Before twelve, givin up ass
Double barrels all loaded and cocked
As soon as they show, they gonna get popped
They bailed down Sesame Street and caught em
Little Boy Blue is up front givin orders
Little did they know Cinderella was a fink
She called the cops and got thrown in the clink
A bad influence? Yo, I don't know
But Ice Cube'll tell the kids how the stories should go
(Outro: Little Russ, Ice Cube)
[Cube] Aiyyo man was that dope enough for you?
[Russ] Yeah you aight, you in the house
We outta here, seeeee-yaaaaa
[Cube] Yeah you better go home before I whoop your little bad ass
[Barney Rubble] Some bedtime story huh?
[Bugs Bunny] It's a nice place to visit,
but I wouldn't wanna live here...
[Andrew Dice Clay] Ay, good ol' Mother Goose, remember her? I fucked her...

Hey motherfuckin Cube, what the fuck wrong with you?
You didn't kick the rest of that Gangsta Fairytale shit
Why don't you kick it one good time
Niggaz on the playground wanna know what's happenin
You left em hangin man, what the fuck?
(Verse One: Ice Cube)
Little Boy Blue is outta Folsome
Now them three little pigs gotta roast him
Drivin down Sesame Street and I bet
That little motherfucker's out fuckin Smurfette
Ain't saw the wolf yet, but it's no doubt
They'll catch his ass slippin at his grandma house
They got the Mac-10 pointed out the coop
Cause they gotta follow they nose like Fruit Loops
Peeped out Little Miss Muffet on her tuffet eatin grits
She saw the Mac-10 and the bitch had the shits
Ran into her house, called up her crew
Cause Red Riding Hood wants to kill Little Boy Blue
And the wolf too, what is Mister Rogers doing?
Moved out his Jordan, bought him a Ewing
Him, Little Boy Blue and the wolf in the cellar
Planning on gettin Cinderella
Cause Cinderella still works for the pigs
Through with the dwarfs, fuckin Bebe's kids
Now Snow White got the horny ass fever
Fuckin the Beauty's Beast like Jungle Fever
Now the word's on the street
When the crews meet
You better make some fuckin room
Cause it's on with the pigs and them other nigs
When the cow jump over the moon, everybody jump
(Verse Two: Ice Cube)
Now Little Boy Blue is up front
WIth the nine millimeter, ready for the hunt
Little Red Riding Hood caught his ass slippin
Drew down on the boy cause the bitch is steady trippin
About to get loose with the deuce deuce
That's when the boy said, "What about the gang truce?"
The little hoe had no words
The wolf came around and the bitch got served
Three little pigs bought wigs
Dressed like sheep, Cinderella is Little Bo Peep
Tryin to creep, on the crew
The wolf, the Rogers, the Blue, they through
Cause the pigs did the buck buck bang, ping
Now you hear the fat lady sing
Cinderella, ran like a bitch
To the pay phone cause the bitch is still a snitch
Now the pigs are caught by the pigs and taken
In the pen to get fried like bacon
You still can't trust no hoe
And Ice Cube'll tell the kids how the stories, should go
(Outro: Little Russ)
Yeah Cube, man that shit was dope nigga
You all that and a bowl of grits
Nigga that shit was on props, nigga!
Yeah that's how you kick that shit for the ninety-deuce, nigga
What's happenin nigga?!
Yeah nigga that's Gangsta Fairytale part 2 nigga

Tekst o Chris Tuckeru - VIBE, September 1997
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
MOVIN' ON UP
------------
CHRIS TUCKER, THE FUNNYMAN STAR OF Money Talks,
WANTS MORE THAN A FEW LAUGHS.
BY CRAIGH BARBOZA
There's just no arguing with success. The first
director of Chris Tucker's new comedy, Money Talks,
learned that the hard way, getting the boot only two
weeks before filming began. "This motherfucka didn't
want to improv," explains Tucker over a mound of pasta
at Numero Uno, blocks from his L.A. apartment. "I was
telling him that's just the way it is: Comedians work
that way, or I work that way. I was, like, Fuck it,
and cussed him out one day."
It's hard to picture the bug-eyed, rain-thin
Tucker barking up in somebody's grill, but this was
serious bidness. Improvisation, after all, dominated
Tucker's film debut, Friday, a 'hood comedy that
grossed nearly $30 milion in 1995 (10 times its cost,
making it the ninth most profitable film of that year).
Some would say the comic was almost too funny in
inventing stuff for Smokey, the hyperkinetic bud
smoker he played opposite Ice Cube's Craig. "We had a
hard time shooting because the crew would ruin the
takes from laughing," says the movie's director,
F. Gary Gray. "It got to the point where people had to
walk away from the camera or just couldn't watch."
After Friday and more low-key part in the
Hughes Brothers' Deas Presidents, Tucker was inundated
with offers to fill the black comedian role in movies
like Booty Call, How to Be a Player, and B.A.P.S, but
he held out for something more challenging. "Everybody
wanted me to do another Friday, but I wanted to do
something different, to keep growing," says Tucker,24,
who earned joust $10,000 for his career-making role.
His patience paid off when Luc Besson called
with a part in this summer's sci-fi adventure The Fifth
Element. Starring opposite Bruce Willis, Tucker turned
in a wild performance as Ruby Rhod {da, izvinjavam se
sto sam u prosloj poruci permutovao njegovo ime}, a
flamboyant, futuristic megastar with so much hair, flair,
and attitute, he'd make Dennis Rodman jealous.
With Money Talks, a $25 million action comedy,
Tucker tackles his first leading role as Franklin, a
car-wash con who teams up with a headline-grabbing
reporter (Charlie Sheen) to thwart the plans of
international diamond smugglers. Daring the audience not
to laugh, Tucker goes from belting a Michael Jackson
song to masquerading as Tony Montana in a single scene
("You wanna play rough?! I slap people for fun, mane").
Written by Alec Sokolow and Joel Cohen (Toy
Story), the movie had been collecting dust for years
when Tucker snatched it up and brought it to New Line.
The studio then bought the rights for Tucker, who went
home and began a massive rewrite, seasoning the dialogue
and adding a street sensibillity. "My character was,
like, selling tickets at the stadium and shit." says
Tucker. "I was, like, Hell nah. I took it to the car
wash because that's where mothafuckas come in and out
and handle business."
As important as the $2 million Chris says he
earned for Money Talks was the shot to serve as executive
producer - a position he exercised to get the film
reshoots, flashy cars, a hot soundtrack featuring Barry
White and Faith Evans, a more collaborative director
(music-video auteur Brett Ratner), and one big, fiery
explosion at the Coliseum for the climax.
Like Jim Carrey or Robin Williams, Tucker is an
extremely physical, high-energy comic - a virtual walking
cartoon. Onscreen, he's volatile and full of surprises
yet also strangely lovable. But what's made him Him is
his trademark voice - a high-pitched, rapid-fire
instrument honed first at home, where, growing up the
youngest of six, he often "ran his mouth for attention."
That mouth served him well at Columbia High School,
in Atlanta, where he got his start hosting talent shows.
After graduation, the underage comic snuck into a local
comedy club, bluffed his way onstage, and walked off with
a standing ovation. The impressed club menager signed him
up to do eight shows a week for a meager 50 beans. Soon
after, he moved to L.A., where he worked the comedy circuit
before graduating to his first high-profile gig on HBO's
Def Comedy Jam, in 1992.
Money may be talking these days, but it doesn't
appear to have spoiled Chris - at least, not too much.
First thing he did when he got paid was move his parents
into a new home and set them up with a pair of hot wheels.
He then purchased a newly built French-style house for
himself. A half hour from Hollywood, it's a spacious
six-bedroom with a high-tech recording studio, where he's
currently producing a new comedy album to be released this
year in conjuction with a stand-up toue.
In the meantime, he's taking meetings with
Hollywood hotshots like Quentin Tarantino and plotting his
rise to the top. "I'ma do something really different than
what other comedians have," says Tucker. "I'ma always be
with an all-star cast, and sometimes I'll take the seat
down and let somebody else shine. But I'll always have a
good-ass role. I ain't gonna let other mothafuckas get all
the light." Let's just hope that if he hooks up with
Quentin, he lets the director keep his job.

LUNITIK MUZIK
by THE LUNIZ
With LUNITICK MUZIK, the LUNIZ' much anticipated follow-up to their
ground breaking 1995 gold debut, Operation Stackola, that featured
their internationally acclaimed platinum hit "I Got Five On It," the
Oakland duo displays a growth and maturity plus a musical diverty
that's destined to win them even more fans. As with their debut,
LUNITICK MUZIK continues to blur the oundaries between East and West
coast or "rap" and "hip hop". THis time, the supertalented duo,
YUKMOUTH and NUMSKULL, not only cleverly trade their innovative free
flowing sing-song creative rhymes off each other, but they also
prove to be masters at whatever type of rap or hip hop that they
choose to flip the script on--a diverse array that ranges from the
straight up head bobbing "town" shit (that's Oakland rap) "Funkin
Over Nuthin'" with TOO SHORT, to Mianmi-bass charged "20 Blunts
A Day," to the the boogie down BDP inspired "Phillies." From start
to finish, LUNITICK MUZIK boasts radio and club hit material.
Part of the inevitaable success of LUNITICK MUZIK can be attributed
to the star-heavy list of collaborators that compliment YUK and NUM'S
sound. These include E40, REDMAN, B-LIGIT, 2 LIVE CREW, DJ QUIK,
BROWNSTONE, MOKENSTEF, 3X CRAZY, CYDAL, POPPA L.Q., SWOOP G, HARM,
CHRISTION, 8 BALL & MJG, THE SYSTEM and RAFAEL SAADIQ. "This is some
shit that ain't gonna wear out in a couple of months," promises NUM
of the this second album, which was carefully recorded over many
studio months. "We couln't just make no rush ass album. We spent
time making it cos we wanted it to be just right, " adds YUK.
LUNITICK MUZIK was recorded shortly after the LUNIZ returned from
their 95-96 European tour with JODECI and the NOTORIOUS B.I.G.
"Biggie's and Pac's deaths are referred to in the gripping "Killaz On
The Payroll." Meanwhile, the touching "Why Do Thugz Die" is the
ultimate eulogy to TUPAC, BIGGIE, Nd every other slain soldier past
adn future.
The secret to the LUNIZ' appeal is that however seemingly serious or
trivial a topic the two choose to tackle, they always make it
instantly engaging when they flex their insightful lyrics and
refreshingly unique flows. For example on the bouncy hip hop pro sex,
money, drugs, and music track "Hypnotized," produced by and featuring
the infamous emcee REDMAN, the listener immediately gets draqn into
the head-bobbing cut that's geared for bumping in the trunk.
"REMAN's hella cool, " laughed YUKMOUTH of their New Jersey
collaborator adding, "That nigga is just like us," making reference
to both parties' fondness for getting lit on blunts or dank. In
fact, this recreational indulgence is a recurring theme throughout
LUNITICK MUZIK. It's humourously dealt with on tracks such as the
Miami bass meets PRINCE flavored "20 Blunts A Day," featuring 2
LIVE CREW and Oakland R&B act CHRISTION, a hilarious skit with a
BILL CLINTON sound-alike endorsing getting high; "Phillies" (a
reworking of the BDP hit "Jimmy") featuring POPPA L.Q. plus a
cleverly incorporated sample from GANG STARR'S "Dwyck"; and also
on 'Highest Niggaz In the Industry: where they compare dank
with drank (that's booze and weed," explained YUK (AKA Smoke ALot)
adding that, "It's kinda like 'Freaks,' but we re-freaked it, " in
refernce to the DIGITAL UNDERGROIND classic "Freaks Of The Industry,"
which acts as the perfect hook to the chorus of this song.
On the "real town shit" (pure Oakland style) TONE CAPONE & MIKE D
procuced bass'n' funk cut "Funkin Over Nuthin'," the LUNIZ make a
point of publicly squashing their well publicized beef with TOO
SHORT, where Bay Area vocalist HARM supplies the infectious
chorus:"You've got me funkin over nuthin'."
Other sure crowd and radio pleasers on LUNITICK MUZIK include the
smoothed out"Jus Mee & U," which features and is produced by the
multi-talented RAPHAEL SAADQ; the Smoke One produced 8 BALL & MJG
collaboration"Hustlin"; and "Bobb shit (Niggaz Ain't Ready Yet),
with the rap all-star guest list of SWOOP G, 3X KRAZY and CYDAL..
Throughout LUNITICK MUZIK, the LUNIZ continually advance the lyrical
art form of hip hop as they effortlessly trade inspired rhymes in
their casual conversating way. "We just rap together like we talk
together," modestlly explained NUM of the two 's natural sounding,
free flowing delivry that has become the LUNIZ trademark sound and
hs the distinction of simutaneouly packing both style and flavor.

jeli a kako to mislis enciklopedije?
jel zato sto ..
nema veze
al zasto ZIVE i to jos ENCIKLOPEDIJE
malo je smesno jel samo pricaju o nekim staaarim pesmama ne krivim
ih jer su one pesme o kojima pisu zakoni za ostale vrste muzike ali
bi oni mogli da pocnu da slusaju nesto novije

Cetiri puta sam morao ovo da procitam da bih shvatio
sta si htela da kazes (citao sam kao dve recenice -
E Ana. A ovde.) :). Sve u svemu, drago mi je da ima
jos neko zensko koje prati ovo nase pisanije (iako
ja vise pisem u grupi 'rap' nego ovde)...
> Nista samo sam htela da kazem da je moj opsti utisak da

E sad, ne znam da li smo enciklopedije...
Delim tvoje misljenje sto se tice chadre i chilla, ali
miloscar me je razocarao sa nekoliko poslednjih poruka.
Ne zelim da pokrecem nikakvu raspravu - svako ima svoj
ukus, pa tako i on ima pravo da slusa Nanu, i njima
slicne grupe, ali mislim da tim grupama nije mesto
ovde vec u grupi 'dance' ili ne znam - da se otvori
tema 'popularna muzika tinejdzera u Nemackoj'.
Moje misljenje dele i ljudi iz Amerike, pa u svom 100.
broju Source u hip-hop zemlje ne ubraja Nemacku (znam
da Nana nije iz Nemacke). Takodje i u clanku koji se
bavi crnom muzikom u Velikoj Britaniji ne pominju ni
jednu grupu slicnu Nani...
Zato bih zeleo da se u ovoj temi vise ne pise o
takvim grupama - mogu da se kladim da se o njima
pise u temi 'dance', pa ko voli nek'...

Ti si.... Jesi ti glavni Ganster sto po ceo dan
visis na inetrnetu i prikupljas podatke i ovde pises
i onda nisi pun sebe !
Sto ne kazes Ja znam vise od tebe i ja sam veci raper
Sta tebi puca kurac sta ja slusam znas da ima Ignore
za one koje ne podnose druge kao sto ja ne podnosim tebe !
Stavi i ti na moje porukice jedan ignore pa da moji fajlovi
mogu da budu za ono zasta su namenjeni ...

I onda neces da pokreces raspravu i onoj grupi bolje

Pa koliko je meni Miloscar rekao ono pod datotekom Nana uopste nije
Nana ali ajde...nisam skinula tako da necu da pricam posto ne znam
o cemu se radi.Samo imam utisak da Milos stvarno slusa rap za
razliku od onih drugih.U pravu si da se devojke ne oglasavaju ali
ni ne znam ko jos na sezamu slusa rap.Ja jesam u grupi rap ali
posto nisam uplatila svoj user nemam pojma sta se desava tamo u
zadnje vreme.

Prvo,pola ne razumem sta si hteo da kazes jer nema tacki

toj temi.Tacno je da slusaju dosta starih stvari ali mislim da
dosta znaju i o onome sto se tek skoro pojavilo.Mislim,cinjenica je
da znaju vise od svih koji pisu conferenciji

Verovao ti ili ne ja nemam, i nikad nisam imao uplacen
Internet (kompjuter mi je mnogo slab, a tek odskora sam
dobio i 14,4 modem). Na Internetu sam bio 4-5 puta u
zivotu, i to uglavnom kada sam bio na Sajmu Tehnike.
Sve sto sam slao (a i nisam slao mnogo ako cemo bas
tako) dobio sam od jednog ortaka.
> Sto ne kazes Ja znam vise od tebe i ja sam veci raper
Zasto bih to rekao. Zbog cega tako gledas na stvari,
i zbog cega se takmicis u tako banalnim stvarima.
Zar neko uopste moze biti 'veci raper' od nekoga?!
Covece, pa to je muzika...

Nikada nikome nisam stavio ignore, pa neces ni ti biti

nacin da resis neki problem.
> I onda neces da pokreces raspravu i onoj grupi bolje

Prvo, i ti si clan te grupe - ako ti se ne svidja sto samo
manja grupa ljudi pise, sedi pa i ti napisi nesto. Ispade
da ti ne mozes da pises od mene.
R&B i Soul sam pomenuo u grupi samo jedanput, i to kada smo
pravili top listu. Chadra nije imao nista protiv, a kao sto
znas to je njegova grupa. U Conferenciji nikada nisam ni
pomenuo R&B i Soul.

Veruj mi, slusamo i novije stvari, ali ne verujem
da ce u skorije vreme hip-hop biti ono sto je bio

Song: One Day
One day about 6:00 O'clock
I woke up by the sound of my buzza,
And a car or a truck squeezing off,
So i jump up scratched my nuts,
But when I was like who's that nobody speaks up
So I go to the door, there's a note,
It says we have Hip-Hop hostage with guns to his troat,
Do the right thing, and we might let him go,
But if you call the police, that's all she wrote,
You know what the motive is it's all about doe,
And in case you think we bullshitin' here's the photo,
I couldn't reconize the clowns because they were all hooded down,
But I peeped Foxxy Brown sippin' crystal in the background,
With fake alligator boots on,
And smack dab in the middle was Hip-Hop with the vasace suit on,
I immediately called Primo,
I said Hip-Hop is in trouble
Meet me at my rest on the double,
Don't even jump in the shower,
Matter of fact scratch my rest
Meet me at D&D in a half -n- hour,
And bring all your shit wit you,
Cause you know what we got to do,
Yo Afu, [what's up?]
Let's jet son like elroy,
If I recall correctly I last saw Hip-Hop down in Bad Boy.
Will see if Puff knows what's up.
Cuz, he's the one getting him drunk, and fuckin' his mind up,
We go to the office, he's nowhere to be found,
So we snatch up Jack Black and beat his bitch ass down,
Now were's Hip-Hop, AIIIGHT, AIIIGHT,
He confessed Suge came and took him from Puff last night,
He said he would give him up if a real nigga came to retrieve him,
So we went to L.A. later that evening,
When we got there everything was Aiight,
And we brought Hip-Hop back home that night.

pisu u conferencijama,a?"
rap.732brka,
> Samo da stavim ovo da bi neki mogli da vide i
> svate Koja je razlika izmedju Hip Hop i Rap-a
> ( *** : Zar je ima ? )
Stvarno ne zelim vise da se raspravljamo, ali
ovo je jace od mene...
Milose, ova vrsta muzike koju mi slusamo se do '90-tih
zvala Rap, medjutim, posto je sve to izaslo iz domena
muzike, i prosirilo se na kulturu i politiku crnaca u
Americi, uveden je pojam Hip-Hop, kao novi (siri) naziv
za Rap muziku. Sto znaci da u Hip-Hop ulaze recimo i
EPMD, Public Enemy, Eric B. and Rakim, ali i Wu-Tang
Clan i Tupac (svidjali se oni nekom ili ne).
Zakljucak: Rap = Hip-Hop
> Artist: **** *** *****
> Album: ***** ** *** ****
> Song: One Day
Pazi, sve je to OK. I slazem se da je previse
komercijalnih pevaca i obrada u hip-hop-u danas
(u Americi se oni zovu Shark Niggaz ill Biters),
ali ne znam sta si time hteo da dokazes? Ti si
sada odjednom 'Underground', a mi 'Komercijala'...
Sto je najgore, dosta njih koji su pljuvali po
ljudima slicnim Puffiju, sada su u njegovom
rangu (primer Nas-a i njegovog prvog albuma
'Illmatic').

po njegov zivot. Ako ostanem u Death Row-u, zavrsicu ili u zatvoru ili
u kovcegu- kaze on. Imam zenu i decu i moram da se staram o njima.

FENOMENALAN comeback album!
Imaju ga u CD klubu BAN (tel: 551-223)...
Zove se BACK IN BUSINESS, i zvuči abnormalno dobro!
Najbolji rap album izdat u prošloj godini. Svih četrnaest pesama zvuče kao da
su snimljene 1990. godine (kada je rap bio underground i ultra-gotivan!)... :)
EPMD je duo koga čine Parrish Smith i Erick Sermon.
Naziv grupe je skraćenica od Erick and Parrish Making Dollars.
~ ~ ~ ~
Do sada su izdali:
EPMD - Strictly Business 1988.
EPMD - Unfinished Business 1989.
EPMD - Business As Usual 1991.
EPMD - Business Never Personal 1992.
1992. godine duo se raspao...
Erick je počeo da radi solo, a Parrish je nastavio da radi kao PMD...
ERICK SERMON - No Pressure 1993.
PMD - Shade Business 1994.
ERICK SERMON - Double Or Nothing 1995.
1997. devet godina posle debi albuma, legendarni duo je ponovo zajedno!

Imam jednu kravu, imam jednog vola.
Mnogi mene smatraju za totalnog mentola.
Brojne zadruge stalno mi se nude,
k'o poznate pevaljke što guraju mi dude.
Hodnik moje štale prilično je dug,
i moja traktorica ima jako dobar cug.
Za mene tudja njiva suviše ja mala.
Seljak sam, Bogu hvala...
Bogu hvala...
Kopam brazde, širom sveta.
Mnogim zadrugarima ja sam prava meta.
Pašnjak, kravica ne zna im se broj,
koljem svaku svinju, i jedem samo loj.
Pitaju se drugi: otkud tebi svinja?!
Svako kao ne zna: uz pomoć kokaina.
Daaa, to je droga fina,
kupuješ i kolješ je zbog kokaina.
Kokain, kokaina, kokain.
Kokain, kokaina, kokain, aaa...
Dok sam svinju uzgajao na miru,
prvo sam ja klanje već imao u dilu.
A kada mi je deda dao nož na silu,
ja tad sam zakl'o svinju, eto čvaraka na kilu.
Bac'o sam meso, što nije u redu.
Ostalo pečenje jeo sam sa dedu.
Ja pojeo sam prvi, masni but,
jer, e-he-he, nisam tol'ko glup.

Nosim kuburu, uprtu u komšu,
ubijam mu kravu u minimalnom roku.
...[pucnjevi]... pretvara u fleku,
neće meni više taj uživati u mleku.
Vlasti sela ucenjuju mi glavu.
Žele da mi smaknu i otruju mi kravu.
Popisati ne mogu moju imovinu,
zato što ne mogu, da prismrde kokainu.
Kokain, kokaina, kokain.

> Jel moze neko da mi kaze nsto o Trip at Sedam (357).
> Video sam onaj spot (valjda Ne daj me, Cigane?) i svideo
> mi se (jadan ja).
Trip at 7 izdali su prvi album 'Pianissimo' prosle godine
kao nezavisno izdanje (AgroTeka / DJ P produkcija).
A 1. Beograd (4'48")
2. Cigane (5'20")
3. Hajde brate (4'51")
4. Nebeski covek (4'33")
B 1. Mama (4'04")
2. Pravoslavan (3'23")
3. Trip at 7 (3'40")
4. Ljubav nema vremena (3'13")
5. Nebo je crveno (4'38")
Po mom misljenju, album je odlican. Jedina pesma koja mi se
ne svidja je 'Ljubav nema vremena'. U pesmama ima dosta
gitara, a posebno me je odusevila truba.
357 su:
Nikola Hadzi-Nikolic
Ivan Starcevic
Dragan Telalovic
Vladan Stanojevic
Radovan Rosic
Nebojsa Potkonjak
Djordje Petrovic
Posebno me je odusevio odlicno ubacen scratch u nekoliko
pesama.
Bio sam na njihovom koncertu u Domu Omladine pre otprilike
mesec i po dana, i njihov nastup uzivo (nista nije islo na
matricu) mozda i bolje zvuci nego na kaseti.
Iznenadio sam se kada sam cuo da je reizdanje njihovog
albuma izaslo za 'City records'. Medjutim, album mi se
svidja, a sad sto su oni presli u najdzivdzanskiju kucu
kod nas...
Izasla su tri spota - Beograd, A2 {Cigane} i Trip at 7.
Posebno obratite paznju na spot za Trip at 7...

Hteo sam da vas pitam za misljenje , koja je po vama najbolja rep
grupa. Trenutno. Mada ne mora ni trenutno , i uopste ima li neko da
slusa rep a da vise voli domaci nego strani?
Nemojte samo da pochnete da raspredate bajke i eseje o Sunshine-u
rap.774apostol,
> Hteo sam da vas pitam za misljenje
Pa znas kako, meni Sunshine i Straight Jacking trenutno imaju
najbolji "stav", mada stalno sviraju uživo kao HC (što meni apsolutno
odgovara) ;)
Vudu Popaj ima odlične texteve, al' mi se ne sviđa što peva na
matricu i na plejbek...
357 su samo delimično rep, al' su odlični.
Gru je nekad bio najbliži "pravom" repu mada su mu textovi puni
veštačkih rima, sad je komercijala...
Who's the Best nisu ni po čemu negativni, ali mi nisu ni ništa
posebno.
Robin Hood imaju finu muziku, popunjavano gitarom, ali su reči isto
daleko od Sunshinea.
187 nisu vredni pomena...
JoTzoqA
P.S. Ovo je moje lično mišljenje...
rap.775legolas,
Chisto da ti se zahvalim, iako sam album kupio dva tri- dana posle
mog pitanja ;)
Slazem se, album nije losh, mada je kvalitet osrednji (ja imam
kasetu).
City recordsu slaba iz kvaliteta snimka!
rap.777ristaa,
Po meni najbolji su OUTKAST!!!

rap.778juice,
:> Gru je nekad bio najblizi "pravom" repu mada su mu textovi puni
:> vestackih rima, sad je komercijala...
Da li bi moga malcice jasnije definisati pojam "vestacka rima" da bih
mogao da shvatim sta je to u stvari. Svaki raper grada "Cikaga" bi
morao Gruu da skine kapu jer je ipak od svih imao najveca m*da.
:> Who's the Best nisu ni po cemu negativni, ali mi nisu ni nista
:> posebno.
Ako su Gruovi tekstovi vestacki, onda su njihovi valjda dobri?
Inace, oni su imali sve, i vise od Grua, ali nisu imali balls da
izdaju prvi album, iako su po meni to trebali da urade. Zato,
-no respect to WITB crew-.
:> 187 nisu vredni pomena...
Mozda, mozda.... Setite se samo da je pre 3-4 godine Plan B (ilivam Ila)
bio proglasen za naj-demo grupu sa 9 od 10 glasova (jedan glas je pripao
Robinu Hoodu, inace rec je o emisiji Geto). Mozda sa ovim stvar bude obrnuta
pa pocnu da prave dobre stvari.
Inace, Cya se definitivno vratila i nadam se da ce zauzeti ono mesto
na domacoj rap sceni koje joj i pripada.
Pozdrav!

Mislim da ces tesko da nadjes nekoga ko vise slusa domaci nego strani
rap. To sve iz prostog razloga sto je ipak "ono odande mnogo bolje i
lepse nego ovo kod nas". Ruku na srce, to je i istina, ali ova gornja
konstatacija nije proizvod logicnog razmisljanja vec ustaljeno
razmisljanje obicnog gradjanina.
Najbolji za mene ce uvek ostati 2pac iz prostog razloga zato sto ga volim.
Dal su mi drazi njegova muzika ili textovi ne znam ni sam ali su ipak
jedinstveni. To je jednostavno tako.
Najbolja domaca rap grupa po meni je Robin Hood, a njihov album
"Da li osecas bes?" super. Oni su govorili da su taj album mnogo brzo
izdali i da bas nije ispao onakav kakvog su ga oni ocekivali. Tada sam
bas mislio koliko bi album bio jak da su ga jos malo doterali. Inace,
CD sa tim albumom, koliko znam, nikada nije izasao, a govorilo se da
bi kao jedna od bonus pesama trebalo da bude i pesma "Otpisani".
Ovim putem bi apelovao na sve dobre duse na sistemu koje poseduju
doticnu pesmu ( Robin Hood "Otpisani" ) da prebace pesmu u npr. MP3 i
okace je ovde. Bio bih im veoma zahvalan.

ZA wu-tang-ovce ako sluchajno naidjete na neke od sledecih albuma :
Killa Priest : Ne kupuj ima samo dve dobre pesme i to jednu sa ODB
i jednu sa INS i Genius-om
Killarmy : Ista situacija kao i KP samo sto oni nemaju featur.
sa drugim chlanovima dok killasin se pojavljuje sada u skoro svakom
wu-tang albumu
GP-WU : Album je boli glava nikad jachi producenti :
Rza i 4th Disciple
Ako nekog interesuje snimam sa stereo kvalitetom za
10 dm
Shyeim : ( The Lost Generation ) Album je isto jako jak malo je
blazi u odnosu na prvi album ( A.K.A. the rugged child )
Ove albume sito snimam .
Ali ima isto do jaja pesama sa dosta featur. od strane
Gp-Wu ( G.ladiator P.osse : Pop da brown Hornet,Rubberdanz,june

Full Moon sve bolji i bolji. Uskoro ce klinci postati jedan od
najboljih rap grupa kod nas. Ako ne po popularnosti, onda sigurno
po kvalitetu. Mad Dogz standardno losi. Tako losi textovi nikako ne
idu na muziku koju prezentuju. Samo, drago mi je da vise nisu u
fazonu kese na glavu, srebro od cokolade u usta i vikanje na sav
glas "WU TANG" ;)))). Cenim njihovu istrajnost (za razliku od nas,
koji smo davno prestali ;((( )
Inace, sta kazete na to da ce uskoro izaci novi album Robin Hooda?
Da li cemo najzad dobiti najbolji rap album ikada izdat (ako ne
racunamo prvi)?

takvih stvari kod SKC. Takodje je izasao novi Public Enemy. Uskoro
se ocekuju neki malo stariji albumi. Covek na tezgi mi je rekao da
ce izaci skoro svi albumi koje su clanovi grupe Wu Thang izdali
solo. Takodje je receno da ce dosta biti zastupljen stariji West
Coast (pa znaju ljudi sta valja ;)) ). Cena svih diskova je 65

Izvinjavam se sto tek sada odgovaram na ovu poruku, ali nije
me bilo dva meseca na Sezamu...
> Killa Priest : Ne kupuj ima samo dve dobre pesme i to jednu
> sa ODB i jednu sa INS i Genius-om
Ne slazem se sa ovim misljenjem... Po mom misljenju jedan od
najboljih Wu solo izdanja do sada...
Produkciju su radili uglavnom 4th Disciple i Tru Master,
(moze se reci da je 'Heavy Mental' do sada njihov najbolje
uradjen posao), dok je RZA producirao samo nekoliko pesama.
'Heavy Mental' je u Source-u dobio samo tri mikrofona,
medjutim, sigurno zasluzuje mnogo vise, pogotovu ako se
pogleda Cappadonin promasaj 'The Pillage' koji je dobio
tri i po...
Killah Priest se prvi put pojavio kao gost u pesmi B.I.B.L.E.
(Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) na Gzinom albumu
'Liuid Swords', koju mozete cuti i na njegovom albumu (cudno,
ali u pesmi nije nista izmenjeno).
Pored nje tu je i prvi singl sa albuma, One Step, onda Blessed
Are Those, Cross My Heart, pa It's Over iznenadjujuce jakog
ritma... mogu ovako da nabrojim svih 20 pesama...
Evo dela iz pesme 'Blessed Are Those':
" Once shoved in ships
Now we Bloods and Crips
Thugs with clips
Niggas who love their clics
Hit the clubs and shit
So they can rub their hips
Hugs and flicks
Niggas with drugs and whips
Cash rules this rotten apple
It got a worm in it
Corrupt Senate
In my man's jeep with the windows tinted
Sipping Guinness
Observing all the clinics
And liquor spots
It make me lick a shot
Through the rooftop, I never seen the glory
In the ghetto, it's the same story
Cigarette butts and cold coffee
Black faces and white mouse
They cry out for the White House
Ain't no wealth shared, it's welfare
And poor health care, self-scared
It's senseless, the way they got our
Black princess
On public assistance to end our existence"

2. Hit Me Wid That Shit
3. Chamber Danger
4. Party People (instrumental)
5. Chamber Danger (instrumental)
6. Hit Me Wid That Shit (instrumental)
Meni se ne svidjaju...nema Wu zvuka kod njih (oni i sami to

Sve u svemu - ne preporucujem.
> Shyeim : ( The Lost Generation ) Album je isto jako jak malo je

SHYHEIM kome je drugo ime Rugged Child, ima (za sada) samo jedan
album, a to je 'The Lost Generation' koji je za svaku pohvalu.
Inace, on je davno izasao (otprilike, pre neke 2 godine)...
> Za one koji ne znaju izlaze :

Izlazak 'T2' je odlozen zbog Methodovog neplaniranog odlaska
u zatvor, i jos se ne zna kada ce album izaci.
Novi Wu-Tang album _sigurno_ ne izlazi do 2000-te... bez
obzira na sve traceve po Internetu (barem je tako rekao
chicha Rza...).

DEMO Rap Bandova grada Beograda a i sire. Naravno, na koncertu ce i
ucestvovati neke grupe za koje ne moze da se kazu da su demo jel su
izdali albume, ali nema veze. Medju grupama koje ucestvuju su i:
FOOL MOON - koji ce izvestvi remix pesme "Ja se vracam u svoj hram"
obogacen novim zenskim vokalom na domacoj rap sceni, koji zvuci
fanasticno
GUERILLA - momci koji imaju odlicnu produkciju, dobre textove a i
nove pesme
Sigurno ste videli plakate po gradu, najvise po centru, culi
dzinglove na radiju i jos samo treba da se pojavite u KSTu u utorak
uvece, koncert je u letnjoj basti KSTa.
U planu je i specijalan nastup jednog vec afirmosanog i poznatog
rap banda kod nas.
Inace, koncert je u organizaciji Omaldine YAZASa ili vam
Jugoslovenske asocijacije za borbu protiv side.
U osnovi, koncert je posvecen velikom Easy-E-u koji je, kao sto svi
znamo umro kao zrtva ove opake i smrtonosne bolesti.
Na koncertu ce se deliti propagandni materijal i kondomi.

posle toga sve ostalo. Uskoro se ocekuje pojavljivanje nekih bas

Tupac
Ovih dana je proslo dve godine od kada je ubijen najkontroverzniji
pripadnik hip-hop sveta, Tupac Amaru Shakur (1971-1996).
Optuzivan da propagira nasilje, da stvara tenzije izmedju
hip-hop scene Istoka i Zapada, bio je simbol hip hop-a sa
rastucom popularnoscu, i iza sebe je ostavio neizbrisiv trag,
iako je imao samo 25 godina.
Ubistvo jos nije razjasnjeno, mada je u julu ove godine, njegov
'nezvanicni' ubica, Orlando Anderson, pripadnik konkurentskih Bloods-a,
takodje nadjen mrtav, u kolima ispred svoje kuce.
U cilju edukacije omladine :), ide serija tekstova pesama i 2 intervjua,
gde legenda govori o (ne)rivalstvu izmedju East-a i West-a, sukobu sa
'Bad Boy' organizacijom, svom odnosu sa Suge Knight-om, svojim
Outlawz-ima, Snoop (prodanim -prim.aut) Doggom, politickom liderstvu,
svom ocu, o svojim pesmama itd.
Vredi skinuti, i procitati.

U svakom slučaju, bio je autentičan lik. Sa zadovoljstvom ću uvek
slušati stvari sa albuma "All Eyez On Me", što nebih mogao reći
za otužne pesmice tipa "Gettin' Jiggy With It", "Men In Black"
Fresh Prince-a, a.k.a Will slušaju-me-po-obdaništima Smith-a
(dotični je bio najbolji dok je bio niko i ništa ("Summertime")).
Ili još gore "Come With Me", "Been Around The World" Puff
Daddy-ja koji je vredeo dok nije otpevao prvi stih, tj. samo dok
je producirao tuđe albume.
Bez obzira koliko sada pljuvali Tupac-a, njegov "All Eyez On Me",
Snoop-ov debi album, "Mr. Smith" LL Cool J-a i Wu-Tang su
obeležili period od nekoliko godina u kojima je hip-hop bio
dosta kvalitetniji nego danas.

U vreme kad se sve ovo gore navedeno masovno slušalo, za rap si
već UVELIKO mogao da kažeš da je nekada bio dosta kvalitetniji i

Zasto da nije prozivka? Kad bih ja rekao da su Wu Tang najvece
svetsko, inergalakticko ili kako god ocete govno i da su to najgore
fanfulje na kuglji zemaljskoj i da su uzasni i odvratni i ogavni i
seljacine svi odreda i ljigavci najgore vrste i najkomercijalniji
voleo bih da to shvatite kao prozivku ;))
2pac je jedan, jedinstven i neponovljiv. Kad to ostali budu
shvatili onda ce tek da progledaju na jedno oko, a kad budu
shvatili da je Wu jedan najgori moguci uzas onda ce i na drugo.

Valjda znas da su on i Snoop bili pripadnici Kripsa, a da su skoro svi
clanovi obe bande prakticno istrebljeni, tako da ova teorija
koja kruzi medju svima u Americi ima najrealniju podlogu. Ne mislis
valjda stvarno da ga je upucao momak s'kojim se potukao u holu MGM-a,
ili B.I.G. sto mu je Tupac *ebao zenu, ili mozda verujes u ono,
'Puffy je ubio Tupac-a, zatim je rokn'o i svog najboljeg ortaka, da bi na
kraju napravio pare pesmom "I'll be missing you" ;)
Ne smej se :), ta prica je i ovde kruzila...:)
Svi koji su ga postovali, tj. postovali njegovu muziku, trazice razloge
pogibije u necemu mnogo ozbiljnijem od sukoba sa Puffijem ili sa deckom
iz MGM-a. Mada, mozda ti imas neku teoriju koja nije bajata i s' kojom bi
mogao da prosvetlis nas neuke.

Jel ti to nama govoriš da je 90% siromašnih crnaca iz L.A. istrebljeno?! :)
Ono... Podela na Bloods-e (Brims-e) i Crips-e je generalna!...
Prve crnačke bande u SAD-u su nastale krajem 1965. godine, posle
ogromnih nereda u Watts-u. OSNOVNA PODELA JE NA BLOODS-e I CRIPS-e...
Te dve osnovne bande se dalje dele na manje ogranke (u žargonu se ti
ogranci nazivaju "sets")... Najeksponiraniji Bloods setovi su "Pirus",
"Villains", "Denver Lanes", "Swans" itd... Od Crips-a tu su "Rollin 60",
"Avalon Garden", "Eight-Tray" itd...
Bloods-i imaju trip da se oblače u crveno, da buše desno uvo, da jedni
druge oslovljavaju sa "blood"... Sa druge strane Crips-i se oblače u plavo,
buše levo uvo, i oslovljavaju se sa "cuz"...
Crips setovi su DALEKO organizovaniji i bolje povezani medju sobom,
što ih je uvek i činilo nadmoćnijim nad neorganizovanim i razjedinjenim
Bloods setovima...

Po meni, jedini Puffy-jev problem je sto covek misli da je reper,
pogotovo sto u poslednje vreme glumi neponovljivog B.I.G.-a,
a kada bi samo rekao, 'Da, muzika koju pravim je pop muzika',
sve bi mu oprostio. A neko bi ga mozda i cenio.

Necu da ulazim u raspravu oko Wu Tanga, jer zaista, niti ih slusam,
niti me interesuju, ali uzimam za pravo da kazem anegdotu koja
je donela respekt dripcu(ima) iz Wu Tang-a, a koja se nedavno dogodila.
Naime, na nekoj 'promociji', koncertu, nazovi vec kako hoces,
napaljeni Canibus, pulen WyClif Jina, momak poznat po opstem
prozivanju, a najvise prepucavanju sa LL Cool J-om, izazivao je sve
prisutne na tzv. 'freestyle' rap duel. Naravno, onako napaljen, sa
svojim ortakom razbio je 2,3, para sve dok za ovo nije cuo neko iz
Wu Tang-a, dal' Mastha Killer, dal' neko drugi, upustio se u u duel,
'mali' Canibus se odlicno drzao 3 kruga, dok se dripac iz Wu Tang-a
nije 'uozbiljio' i odradio 'freestyle' u trajanju od 10 minuta..!
Sta vise da ti pricam, to sumnjam da je i Tupac mogao...:)
rap.872juice,
:> U vreme kad se sve ovo gore navedeno masovno slusalo, za rap si

:> ni trositi reci... beda...
Ovo sada i jesye ogromnaja beda, ali 2pac ostaje lik i najjaci covek
zauvek. Nisam mogao da citiram sve sto si napisao o njemu do sada ali
odgovor vazi sa sve. Inace, ja sam nekada mislio o njemu sve najgore tipa
"Vidi picka otisla kao fol u zatvor i sad misli da je gangsta a u stvari je
golo govno". Medjutim, kasnije kad sam malo dobio na godinama ;) poceo je
neverivatno da mi se svidja, ali bas. Naime, ja sam inace veliki fun west
coast produkcije i nekih easterna ali 2pac je definitivno naj.
O ovom ne vredi da se raspravljamo a i to ne zelim posto ocigledno nikada
nikog ko mrzi 2paca nisam uspeo da ubedim u suprotno ne zbog nedostataka
argumenata, koji su opet subjektivni za svakog, vec zbog ocigledno neke
doze netrpeljivosti koju su svi doticni imali prema njemu. A nikada, ali
nikada nemojte zaboraviti da su prve mlade devojcice koje su slusale rap
kod nas pocele da ga slusaju bas zbog 2paca a i takodje nemojte zaboraviti
emisije koje su bile kod nas posle njegove pogibije i ljude koji su se
javljali.
Ali zato uvek cu govoriti i uvek ostajem pri tome da su Wu Tang Clan
najgore, najodvratnije, najuzasnije, najbudjavije, najljigavije sranje koje
je ikada postojalo na kugli zemaljskoj (izuzev naravno ma man Method Mana
ciji Tical je za mene i dalje jedna od zakletvi, naravno posle MC Eihta).
Ti nije muzika, to nije nista, to je jedno golo govno ma ne golo vec uzasno
golo govno.

Uvek se moze diskutovati o tome sta se u svetu ubraja pod rap a sta mi
mislimo kad kazemo rap. Dovoljno je cuti neke novije produkcije renomiranih
rap bendova kod nas i shvatiti da je sve to uzelo maha i da jedino mlade
demo snage ostaju da izvade stvar.
Fora je u tome sto svi, ali bas svi dok ne pocnu da prave muziku pricaju
"ma mi smo underground i takvi ostajemo" a onda dolaze snimanja, ugovori sa
producentskom kucom i naravno komercijala, u svakom njenom obliku. Tada se
sve menja i mi dobijamo konacne rezultate. Naravno da je ovo malo
drasticnije kod nas jel mi ipak imamo samo 10mil stanovnika a npr. Amere
slusa citav svet ali je formula u sustini ista.

rap.874thug,
Ovde se najvise pise kad padaju prozivke...:)))
Ali nema veze...
I dalje ostajem pri svom stavu da iako ti se neki raper/grupa ne svidja ne
treba po nemu/njoj pljuvati sa toliko mrznje.
Naravno da i ja ne volim izvesne nazovi "rapere", ali mi je malo glupo
obavestavati i non-stop podsecati ljude na to, a pogotovo na chill-ov nacin...
Mozda mu je to fazon, ne znam, ali znam za sebe.
Videh poruku od pre neki dan, neko trazi Puffy-eve textove, i sad bi ja posto
ga nevidjeno mrzim (verovatno isto koliko chill mrzi 2pac-a) trebao sto zesce,
sa sto vise atributa opisati coveka, i reci normalni svet ga mrzi i sl.
Ako me neko-ko-me-ne-zna pita sta slusam, i ako pomene Puffy-a stomak mi se
prevrne....
Sto se tice 2pac-a, covek ne laze. Radio je poprilicno, nije se zajebavao,
muziku je koristio kao nacin izrazavanja osecanja, razmisljanja, svog pogleda
na svet... Nije folirant, sta god peva, to je i radio, delomicno je opisivao
svoj zivot. Moze se reci bio je gangster i neces slagati...
Isto kao i Juice, slusam najvise West Coast (2pac, u biti Death Row), gangsta
rap, ali nisam u fazonu mrzim East Coast i sl. slusam ono sta mi prija...
poz, thug :)

Kad cujes da su navijaci Zvezde dobili batine pre tekme sa Rad-om,
jel' ti je prva asocijacija na prebijene, hiljade ljudi koji u zivotu nisu
videli Zvezdin stadion a kazu da navijaju za istu ili onih stotinjak mentola
sto je svuda prate? :))) Moze i klinac od 5 godina da kaze da navija za
Zvezdu, al' on ni u kom slucaju ne zadovoljava kriterijume 'pravog navijaca' :)
Sad ukoliko mozes, iz ovog izvuci paralelu i za bande...:)
A i ne znam kada si ti poslednji put obnovio znanje o ovim bandama,
ali cisto informacije radi, medju ljudima koji su upoznati sa tim
stvarima, kruzi prica da je od poznatijih likova obe bande,
ziv jedino vodja Pirs-a. Zato sam i spomenuo ono o 'istrebljenju'.

bolje da se drzi produciranja, ubijanja i reketiranja...

Bez obzira na njegovo kosarkasko (ne)umece, covek polako
zauzima visoko mesto u crnackom drustvu u SAD.
U septembru je predvodio mars miliona u Harlemu, vec polako
bije po usima Puffyja i njegov Bad Boy Records, kruze price da
je ulozio 5 mil.dolara na podizanje poslovnog kompleksa u blizini
New York-a u kome ce se naci jedan od najboljih studija u SAD,
hoteli, teniski tereni itd...

Pesma mi se i nije nesto posebno svidela... Pesma nije
HC, samo je malo tvrdja, ali ne moze se odmah ubaciti
u HC samo zato sto su jos vise pojacali gitare.
Ne zelim da sudim o celom albumu na osnovu dve
pesme (ni 'Maminim zlatom' nisam bas odusevljen)...
Sacekacu da ga preslusam celog.
> jer kod nas teshko da i ima dobrih rap bendova kao i
> dobrih hc bendova
Sa prvom konstatacijom se uglavnom slazem, ali dobrih
HC bendova ima... Hitman, Skymaster 4, All Of Us,
To Live For... (Eyesburn su jedni od losijih - uspeli
su da izbace album samo zahvaljujuci uspeloj obradi
Marleyeve pesme Exidus). Stvar je u tome sto je HC scena
malo poznata sirem krugu ljudi (da ne kazem da je
underground, jer mi se ogadila ta rec...), i uglavnom su
to mladji ljudi ('81 - '74 godiste), koji i imaju najvise
energije za ovu vrstu muzike.

Zig Zigi -Necu da se predam-
( ...Hello'...i'm, doctor Frojd....)
(aaaaaa....)
Mrtvog u zivotu, u snu ja ozivim,
i nekoga shto mrzim, u snu mu se divim,
ono shto pozelim, retko da i sanjam,
sanjam sebe kako se, sa veshticama ganjam,
san, moze biti ruzan,
kraj u snu, moze biti tuzan,
kada pomislim da znam, a meni nije znan,
kada kengura zajebem u skoku, to je san...
Necu da se predam,
ne, necu da se predam,
necu da se predam,
ne, necu da se predam...
Nesto mi je daleko, u trenu mi je blize,
zato volim sanjati jer sve se u snu stize,
mozak mi se odmara, usporeno radi,
nahranio ga vecerom, on mi snove gadi,
merim, cenim, grcim se, bezim,
i odvija se to, dok sanjam, dok lezim,
tada je nemocna i, agencija Lojd,
tada samo pomaze, Zigmund Frojd...
Necu da se predam,
ne, necu da se predam,
necu da se predam,
ne, necu da se predam...
Zig, zigi, zigi, zigi, zigiiii....
Zigi, zigi, zigiiii.....
(Fuck' em...)
Napolju je divan dan, a ja sanjam san,
kakav san, ispod brade zaklan,
krevet sam oznojio jer sanjam mnogo krvi,
uvek sam u snu, i ja bio prvi,
sanjam test, da moram biti vredan,
necu da se predam, ne necu da se predam,
dok ne gledam a bezim, jedina mi briga,
kako se probuditi i pozvati mi Ziga...
Necu da se predam,
ne, necu da se predam,
necu da se predam,
ne, necu da se predam...
Zig, zigi, zigiii...
Zig, zigi, zigiii...
Pticice na mome prozoru pevushe,
i pesmom ruzne, moje snove rushe,
cvrkutom miluju i donose novine,
u snove moje, unose obline,
kao lopta na poljani, sto ide prema meni,
trgnem se da sutnem, prema Maradoni,
telo mi se budi, unosi zrak,
i duboko u sebe i nestaje mrak...
Necu da se predam,
ne, necu da se predam,
necu da se predam,
ne, necu da se predam...
Zigi, zigi, zigiii...
Zigi, zigi, zigiii...
Zigi, zigi, zigiii...
Svuda sam bio, od Pakla do Raja,
i od svega, toga, mi se zateze kobaja,
dok lagano zevam i teglim ekstreme,
cika Frojde zashto mi je, u gacama seme...
Necu da se predam,
ne, necu da se predam,
necu da se predam,
ne, necu da se predam....
Necu da se predam,
ne, necu da se predam....

Puff Daddy
U samo nekoliko godina Sean 'Puffy' Combs se od obicnog
ulicnog promotera albuma i staziste muzicke izdavacke kuce
pretvorio u jednog od najuspesnijih muzickih producenata svih
vremena. "Puffy" ili "Puff Daddy" kako je poznat u muzickim
krugovima, jedva da je imao 20 godina, a vec je vezbao svoj
producentski osecaj, producirajuci multi-platiniumske albume
Mary J. Blige i Jodeci. Za veoma kratko vreme, postao je
potpredsednik izdavacke kuce "Uptown Records" a ne mnogo
kasnije je osnovao i svoju izdavacku kucu pod imenom "Bad Boy
Entertaiment". Dok je jos bio u "Uptown Records-u", Puffy je iza
sebe ostavio producentske poduhvate tada nepoznatih Craig-a
Mack-a i Chris-a Wallace-a - poznatijeg pod nadimkom "Notorious
B.I.G." .Ali s' vremenom, njegova uspesnost i uticajnost bivali su
prozeti kontroverzama; Pocev od njegovog sukoba sa West Coast
konkurentom "Death Row Records-om" i njegovim vlasnikom Suge
Knight-om, preko ubistva Puffy-evog prijatelja "Notorious B.I.G-a",
uz price koje su kruzile hip/hop svetom, Puffy je uvek bio u sredistu
istih. Sve ovo potvrdjuje da je Sean 'Puffy' Combs" bio i ostao,
covek trenutka.
Sean Combs je rodjen 1970.god. u Harlemu kao prvo, od dvoje
dece, Melvin-a i Jenice Combs. Jenice je bila model ?!, a Melvin
poznati ulicni kriminalac ubijen u Cental Park-u. Sean je tada imao
samo 3 godine. Sledecih 10 godina, porodica je nastavila da zivi u
Harlemu, gde je Sean bio svedok pocetka hip/hop revolucije. Kada
je Sean napunio 12 godina, majka preseljava porodicu u mirnije
naselje Mount Vernon, New York, gde se Sean upisuje u "Mount St.
Michael's Academy". Tamo je, prica se, zaradio i svoj nadimak Puffy,
gde je kao clan fudbalskog tima, voleo sebe da udara u grudi
(puffed), radi sticanja samopouzdanja, a i da bi delovao jace nego
sto izgleda. Otud i nadimak Puffy.
Godine 1988, Puffy se upisuje na "Howard University" odakle je
njegov put ka vrhu isao vecom brzinom. Poceo je kao promoter
univerzitetskih koncerata i kucnih zabava; Takodje je poceo sa
unosnim biznisom prodajuci potvrde ?! i stare ispitne radove.
Dve godine studiranja na Howard Univerzitetu doprinela su da Sean
shvati da je vreme da predje na nesto vece , bolje i obecavajuce.
Napustio je univerzitet, i ubrzo je ubedio Andre Harell-a, sefa Uptown
Records-a, u New York-u, da mu da posao staziste u ovoj muzickoj
kuci. Harell je inace i sam bio obecavajuci reper, cinio je prvu
polovinu dueta iz kasnih osamdesetih - Dr.Jeckyll i Mr.Hyde -i u
Puffy-u je video istu zelju za napredovanjem i dokazivanjem, koju je
i on imao u mladosti. Jezgro Uptown Records-a, cinili su uglavnom,
mladi i neafirmisani R&B pevaci uz dodatak repera kao sto je Heavy D.
Takodje, nedokazani Puffy-ev entuzijazam cinio se odlicnim za
Uptown, tako da nije proslo mnogo vremena, a Harell se prema
Sean-u ponasao kao pravi otac. Toliko ga je zavoleo da mu je cak
dao hranu i smestaj uz skromnu platu staziste. Vremenom,
zahvaljujuci Puffy-evim promocionalnim sposobnostima, Uptown je
poceo da se siri, a njegov doprinos hit singlovima grupa, kao npr.
Jodeci, postao je jos korisniji za kompaniju. Uskoro ga je Harell
postavio i na mesto potpredsednika promotivnog odeljenja.
28. decembar iste godine je bio datum kada je Puffy prvi put
osetio gorak ukus tragedije. Humanitarna kosarkaska utakmica u
New York-u pretvorila se u nasilje sa neizvesnim krajem, kada je
u prenatrpanoj i nestrpljivoj publici doslo do tuce i pravog stampeda
pri cemu je zivot izgubilo cak 9 ljudi, a Puffy-eva losa organizacija
i neuspesan pokusaj unajmljivanja obezbedjenja direktni su krivci
za ovaj nemili incident. Izvori bliski Puffy-u, rekli su da ga je ovaj
dogadjaj naucio emotivnoj elasticnosti kada god bi se nalazio u
oci sa pretnjom, sto ce sve doci do izrazaja u buducnosti.
Neuspeh ovog humanitarnog okupljanja nije preterano uticao na
Puffy-a. On je ubrzo producirao multiplatiniumski album za Jodeci,
kao i za soul-senzaciju Mary J. Blige ciji debi album "What's the 411?"
predstavlja prvi primer fuzije hip/hopa i R&B muzike. Uspesi ova dva
albuma, bili su dovoljan razlog da Puffy osnuje svoju muzicko -
izdavacku kucu, "Bad Boy Entertaiment". Prvi reper kojeg je Puffy
zeleo da potpise, bio je bruklinski reper poznat pod nadimkom
Biggie Smalls, a ciji pravo ime je bilo Christopher Wallace, mada je on
svoje pesme uvek izvodio pod imenom "Notorious B.I.G". :) Puffy je
B.I.G-ovu kasetu dobio od muzickog urednika casopisa "The Source",
koji je mislio da ce Puffy uspeti da sjedini ocigledan Biggie-ev talenat
i pravilno ga usmeri. Stavise, Puffy je bio odusevljen B.I.G-evim
tekstovima i zvucima ulica New York-a.
Notorious B.I.G. je bio jedini sin samohrane majke i bio je poznati
diler droge na ulicama New York-a. Da bi ubedio B.I.G-a da se odrekne
unosnog posla sa drogom i posveti rap-u, Puffy je znao da ce morati
da B.I.G.-u ponudi veliki novac. Kao sto je i B.I.G kasnije priznao u
intervjuima, tesko je bilo odreci se velikog novca koji je stizao kao
rezultat dilovanja na ulicama Bruklina. Pored toga sto ga je uvrstio u
svoju ekipu "Bad Boy Entertaiment-a" i velike svote novca koju mu je
dao kao predujam, Puffy mu je dao sansu za popularnost preko noci.
Sredio mu je, da 'odradi' duet pesmu sa Mary J. Blige za soundtrack
"Who's the man".
Puffy je bio siguran u sebe i svoj produkcijski i biznis talenat. Tolika
sigurnost prerastala je na momente u aroganciju prema dosta ljudi, tu
ukljucujuci i njegovog mentora Harell-a, koji je osetio da jedan dvorac
za dva kralja, nikako nije dovoljan. U 1993-oj godini, godini koja se
pokazala kao godina promena za Puffy-a, Harell je otpustio svog
pulena. Puffy je u kasnijim intervjuima, govorio kako je ova Harell-ova
odluka bila odluka koja mu je dobro dosla kao odluka_budilica iz sna
kojeg je do tad nesmetano sanjao. Rodjenje sina Justine-a, uticala je
da jos vise sazri.
Njegov sledeci potez pokazao se najvecim do sada. Uspeo je da
izdejstvuje pripajanje "Bad Boy Entertaimenta", "Arista Records-u"
za 15 miliona dolara. Data mu je potpuna kontrola u novoj kuci i puna
podrska, ali ni on nije ostao duzan producirajuci nekoliko No.1 hitova,
Notorious B.I.G-a i Craig-a Mack-a. Uz pojavljivanje u svakoj pesmi i
svakom spotu svojih pulena, Puffy-eva popularnost je rasla iz dana u
dan.
Dok su Puffy i B.I.G repovali i uzivali u svom uspehu, nista manji
profit nije imao ni Suge Knight sa svojom muz.-izd. kucom "Death Row
Records" i ekipom koja ju je sacinjavala poceci od Tupac-a, Dr.Dre-a,
Snoop doggy Dogg-a. Danas neverovatno, ali ipak istinito, je da su
Puffy i Suge Knight u pocetku bili prijatelji. U principu, imali su mnogo
toga zajednickog: obojica su bili, mladi i uspesni crnci sa tek otvorenim
muz.-izd. kucama. Ali, tenzije izmedju West Coast i East Coast izvodjaca
su rasle svakim danom, narocito posle Tupac Shakur-ovog ranjavanja u
hodniku muzickog studija na Times Squar-u, za koje je Tupac optuzio
Puffy-a i B.I.G-a, koji su se, slucajnoscu ili ne, bas tog dana nasli u istom
studiju. To je bio Novembar 1994. godine, a vec u Avgustu 1995. godine,
Suge Knight je na dodeli "Source Awards-a" zadao nizak udarac Puffy-u,
izjavom: " Ukoliko zelite da vlasnik vase izdavacke kuce, ne bude na
vasem albumu, spotu ili turneji, potpisite za "Death Row Records".
Sledeceg meseca, na rodjendanskoj proslavi uprilicenoj producentu
Jermaine Dupri u Atlanti, blizak prijatelj Suge Knight-a je upucan, a Suge
je za taj zlocin optuzio Puffy-eve placenike.
Paralelno sa ovim, kruzlie su glasine da Tupac spava sa B.I.G-ovom
zenom, pevacicom Faith Evans, a da je Suge Knght 'presao' na Puff-evu
(sada vec bivsu) zenu, Misa-u Hylton. Ove glasine dobile su i zvanicnu
potvrdu u Tupac-ovoj pesmi "Hit 'Em Up", u kojoj on u lice B.I.G-u kaze:
"You claim to be a player, but I fucked your wife". U matru 1996. godine,
prvi sukob licem u lice izmedju B.I.G-a i Tupac-a, posle desavanja na
Times Square-u pre dve godine, desio se na dodeli "Soul Train
Awards-a", u Los Angeles-u, i bilo je jos gore. Sukob izmedju Tupac-ove
i ekipe Bad Boy-a zavrsio se na gledanju oci u oci, sa izvucenim pistoljima
na obe strane. Tada, nije doslo do onog najgoreg, ali se videlo da su
razlike sve vece, da sukob postaje suvise lican, i da ce iz toga uslediti
zastrasujuce posledice.
Nazalost, ono najgore izgleda da nije bilo moguce izbeci. Tupac je
usmrcen 7.Septembra 1996. godine u Las Vegasu. Govorkalo se da Puffy
i B.I.G. imaju nesto sa ovim ubistvom, ali oni koji se u ove prilike bolje
razumeju, ovo svakako odbacuju. Puffy nikad nije bio siledzija,
kriminalac, niti je ikad zeleo to da bude, za razliku od nekih drugih.
Paralelno uz zalosnu Tupac-ovu smrt, B.I.G. je zavrsio poslednje pripreme,
svog poslednjeg, duplog, LP-a, " Life After Death", na kojoj se Puffy
pojavljuje kao glavni vokal za pesmu " Can't Nobody Hold Me Down" koja
je u stvari uradjena u duetu sa njegovim novim pulenom Mase-om.
Prvi singl "Hypnotize" sa novog LP-a, zarazio je New York svojim dobrim
tekstom i izuzetnim ritmom, a cim je pusten odmah je i zauzeo broj 1 svih
muzickih lista. Izgledalo je da ih ne ceka nista osim uspeha. Ali, u martu
1997. godine, Notorious B.I.G. je ubijen, kakve li ironije, bas posle dodele
"Soul Train Awards-a". Njegov najbolji prijatelj, Sean 'Puffy' Combs, nije
mogao nista, sem da gleda svog prijatelja kako umire.
Sto je najzanimljivije, Puffy-eva popularnost posle B.I.G.-eve smrti,
bila je veca nego ikad. Tek nesto posle B.I.G.-eve smrti, Puffy je pustio
singl posvecen svom ubijenom prijatelju, "I'll Be Missing You", uz
vokalnu pomoc grupe "112" i B.I.G.-ove zene Faith Evans. Ovaj singl
je preuzeo melodiju, i predstavlja obradu hita Police-a iz 1983. godine,
a "I'll Be Missing You" je bas kao i svoj originalni prethodnik zauzeo,
u velikom stilu, prvu poziciju svih muzickih lista. Odmah iza ovog singla,
sledio je hit " Mo' Money, Mo' Problems", koji je takodje zauzeo mesto
broj 1 na svim listama. Uskoro, Puffy je svoj produkcijski talenat poceo
da ustupa i velikom broju izvodjaca van svoje izdavacke kuce, medju
kojima su i LL Cool J, Mariah Carey, KRS-One, Busta Rhymes, Brian
McKnight, SWV, Boyz 2 Men i mnogi drugi....
Puffy-ev uspeh i dalje prate mnoge glasine. Mnogi dovode u pitanje
povezanost Puffy-a sa ubistvom Notorious B.I.G-a, s 'obzirom na
njegovu neverovatnu rastucu popularnost nakon smrti B.I.G.-a. Ni
hip/hop 'podzemlje' nije prihvatilo Puffy-a otvorenih ruku. Njegovu
ne(zavisnost) mnogi dovode u pitanje, jer svoje pesme bazira
iskljucivo na obradama, za svoj hit " Can't Nobody Hold Me Down",
koristio je semplove pesme Grandmaster Flash-a, " The Message",
njegov hit "I'll Be Missing You" cista je obrada hita Police-a, a semplovi
David Bowie-eve pesme "Let's Dance" iskorisceni su za hit "Been
Around The World", a to automatski baca sumnju na kreativnost na
koju su hip/hop producenti i DJ-evi narocito ponosni. Ali Puffy ovo
objasnjava cinjenicom, da onog koje na vrhu, svi mrze.
Uz to, on odbija da sebe nazove reperom odnosno MC-em:
" Uvek cu pokazivati postovanje prema repu kao kulturi i umetnosti.
Ja sam zabavljac. Ja ne pisem svoje tekstvove sasvim sam. Pisem ih
u saradnji sa Jay Z-em, Sauce Money-em, Mase-om, Lil' Kim-om,.
Ja nisam MC. Ja ljudima dajem ritam koje zele, koji vole..."
Takodje, pored svega izrecenog, jedno definitivno stoji, a to je da
Puff Daddy, u liniji sa Michael Jordan-om i Spike Lee-om, ima najvise
uticaja kako se danasnja generacija, oblaci, igra, prica, peva i hoda....
To ga i cini, dakle najuspesnijim...

"MCing, and DJing.. from your own mind, ya know?"
"I, I guess right now we should start the show"
[Guru]
Who's the suspicious character strapped with the sounds profound
Similar to rounds spit by Derringers
You're in the Terrordome like my man Chuck D said
It's time to dethrone you clones, and all you knuckleheads
Cause MC's have used up extended warranties
While real MC's and DJ's are a minority
But right about now, I use my authority
Cause I'm like the Wizard and you look lost like Dorothy
The horror be when I return for my real people
Word to split wigs hittin like some double Desert Eagles
Sportin caps pulled low, and baggy slacks
Subtractin all the rappers who lack, over Premier's tracks
Severe facts have brought this rap game to near collapse
So as I have in the past, I will bust
Droppin lyrics that be hotter than sex and candlewax
And one-dimensional MC's can't handle that
While the world's revolvin, on it's axis
I come with mad love and plus the illest warlike tactics
The wilderness is filled with this; so many people
searching for false lip, I'm here with the skills you missed
The rejected stone is now the cornerstone
Sort of like the master builder when I make my way home
You know my steez...
"You know my steez" --> Method Man
"Let em know, do your thing God" "Keep it live"
"To the beat y'all" --> Flavor Flav
The beat is sinister, Primo makes you relax
I'm like the minister, when I be lacin the wax
I be bringin salvation through the way that I rap
And you know, and I know, I'm nice like that
Work through worldly problems, I got the healing power
When the mic's within my reach, I'm feelin more power
Stealing at least three minutes of every rap radio hour
It's often easier for one, to give advice
Than it is for a person to run one's own life
That's why I can't be caught up in all the hype
I keep my soul tight and let these lines takes flight
The apparatus gets blessed, and suckers get put to rest
No more of the unpure I got the cure for this mess
The wackness is spreading like the plague
MC's lucked up and got paid but still can't make the fuckin grade
How many times are wannabe's gonna lie?
Yo they must wanna fry, they can't touch the knowledge
I personify, I travel through the darkness carrying my torch
The illest soldier, when I'm holding down the fort

On the microphone you know that I'm one of the best yet
Some punks, ain't paid all of their debts yet
Tryin to be fly, ridin high on the jet-set
With juvenile rhymes makin fake-ass death threats
Big deal, like En Vogue, here's something you can feel
Styles more tangible, and image more real
For some time now, I've held the scrolls and manuscripts
When it's time to go all out you be like, "Damn he flipped"
Now I'm sick, fed up with the bullshit
Got the lyrical full clip, giving you a verbal asswhip
Don't trip it's the gifted prolific one
Known as Bald Head Slick -- why is the press all on my dick?
My style be wilder than a kamikaze pilot
Don't try it, I'm about to start more than a friggin riot
Styles unsurpassable, and nuccas that's suckas, yo
The motherfuckers are harrassable
For I be speaking from my parables and carry you beyond
The mic's either a magic wand
Or it gets tragic like the havoc of a nuclear bomb
Then I grab your palm, no pulse you're gone
And if you thought we'd lose our niche in this rap shit you way wrong
I stay up, I stay on, shine bright, like neon
Your song's, pathetic, synthetic, like ray-on
Fat beats, they play on, want dope rhymes, put me on

Puffing high in ?Four Centers?
And ask Beretta, who got cheese?
On the spot, who's the doc, like that man, ugh, ?Martin Keys?
More keys, cause when it comes to me and The Guru
Like my man Charlie Brown said, the rest of y'all is doo-doo
The butcher, the baker, time to meet your Maker
Send you to your place, you ain't nothing but a faker
Your cheasy, but ?treesy?, next to me your measly
Believe me, I'll beat that ass so sick, I'll make ya queasy
Now easy, Premier scratch that shit like three
Three men and a lady, and, ugh, you know my steez...
"You know my steez" --> Method Man
"Let em know, do your thing, dog." "Keep it live."
*repeat 3X*
(Kurupt: Yo, yo, yo...)
"The mic..."
Verse three: Kurupt
The monotone, nigga melodic, microphone
Poetical Mag-milly from Philly, ill-ly syndrome
Clouds will form, whip thoughts to windstorm
And the young Gang Starr posse formin in full
Kick off, like a guage (guage) ?, stage
In a seek-and-destroy mission to burn and blaze
Vanish a few
K-U-R-U-P-T, R-A-G-E, and Guru
Lets simplify it, just don't try it
When I recite, ignite mics, my voice 'ill cause a riot
I talk it, I live it I don't give up, I give it
I bring it, bust it, don't sing it
Get in your vein melt mics and spit flames
Get in your brain and blow like propane
Yo Premier
(What?) Tell these niggaz this our year
Broke through like a breeze
Murder MC's with ease
You know my steez *echoes*

You belong to the city (Uh-uhh-uh, what what)
You belong to the night (Uh-uhh-uh, ge-ge-geyeah)
In the river of darkness
He's a man of the night
Verse One: Jay-Z
Uhh, yeah
What the deal playboy, just rest your soul
I be holding it down yo still love the dough
Got these ladies on the cock now you know how we go
Got the whole world on lock down you know how we flow
Don't worry about Brooklyn I continue to flame
Therefore a world with amnesia won't forget your name
You held it down long enough, let me take those reigns
And just like your spirit the commision remains
Niggaz can cross the T's and, dots the I's
Now that I got too popular to cop them pies
I'm takin this rap shit serious, to my demise
Jay shit's like cake mix, watch me rise
Basics in the basement, waste it
Asking my dog for advice so when he can't say shit
my hatred is, fueled just give me a sign
And I let the world know that the city is mine, what?
Chorus: Blackstreet
You belong to the city (The city is mine, what-what-what)
You belong to the night (Ge-ge-geyeah, uh-uhh-uh, pa-pau)

Verse Two: Jay-Z
Y'all want to know how I flow just seek and you find
I'm like a brain in the voicebox, I speak my mind
About to redefine rap mami, either I'm

I read a article that said I was ruinin shit
But every time I look, I'm movin units in quick
So I'ma hit y'all, with these last two and split
and leave niggaz with nothing but my influences-es
Soon it's the Jigga, I ain't mad yeah, bite my shit
Sell half of what I sell because it's not quite my shit
I'm the type to buy a Roley and just ice my shit
on the spot, fuck comin back twice to shit
How real is that? My floss game, still intact
Boss game, you lame dudes can't feel that
Like the first dude to cop the 850 and 89
and drove it up to 55th, the city is mine, what?
Chorus: Blackstreet
You belong to the city (The city is mine)
You belong to the night (Yeah, uhh, the city is mine)
In the river of darkness (Pa-pa, feel me)
He's a man of the night (Yeah, yeah, bounce, bounce)
Verse Three: Jay-Z
I snatch your girl cause your arm ain't strong enough
Plus ya don't stay in the studio long enough
I make hits while y'all stay hatin and take bricks
Had it locked til I came in the club, Take 6
Got your chick cause you swore she was innocent
Got her a Chinese manicure hair done by Dominicans, all for what
So I could be in a dark corner, all in the butt
at the bar alchoholing her up
I represent the lifestyle of those who thirst cream
A buck fifty a shot, Louis the Thirteenth
Jay-Z, Roc-A-Fella yo, know the name
I ain't a player get it right, I'm controllin the game
From now until they blow holes in my frame
I'ma stand firm, holdin my aim, feel me?
I'm the focal, point like Biggie in his prime
on the low though - shhhhh, the city is mine!

Njegova biografija mi je odavno poznata (procitao sam
je u nekom od brojeva 'The Source'-a... i mislim da
nema preterano zanimljivih stvari. Postoji dosta
znacajnih ljudi u hip-hop muzici sa zanimljivijim
biografijama (npr. KRS-One, Guru, Rakim, pa onda
ol' school ekipa - Grandmaster Caz, Crush Crew...).

Lil' Kim je zhensko... Iako jednom mom prijatelju
stvarno lici na musko (nisam ga pitao zasto)... :)

Moze se dvojako gledati na ovo... Da nije bilo ovog poteza
ne bi mozda nikada slusali (opet kazem po mom misljenju)
odlicnu Mary J, ne bi mozda bilo ni boginje u liku
Erykah Badu...
A opet, da nije bilo tog (i slicnih) poteza, hip-hop bi
bio postedjen preteranih zenkih vokala u pesmama, tj.
velikim uticajem R&B-ja na njega...
-
Ukoliko na Combsa gledamo kao na poslovnog coveka, onda
mu sigurno moramo skinuti kapu...
Sa druge strane, moje je misljenje da je, uz pomoc jos
nekoliko ljudi (npr. J. Dupri - vlasnik So So Def recordsa)
uspeo da uputi hip-hop kulturu u pogresnom pravcu. Od kada
je on krenuo sa svojim obradama, dosta grupa i pevaca je
krenulo njegovim putem, jer im je sigurno lakse da uzmu
neku poznatu melodiju, nabace svoj tekst - i eto ti hita!
Medjutim, time se izgubilo na kreativnosti i originalnosti
koja je krasila ovu vrstu muzike. Da se razumemo, hip-hop
muzika se uvek i pravila od semplova, ali semplova stare
soul, funk i r&b muzike (ne misli se na ovaj danasnji r&b,
koji je u stvari new_jack_swing), i uglavnom manje poznatih
izvodjaca.

THE N.Y. TIMES ON THE WEB
December 4, 1998 PUBLIC ENEMY Fights the Music Industry
With Online Releases
By MATT RICHTEL
The rap group PUBLIC ENEMY may not have made any money by offering free
downloads of unreleased songs, but its members insist they have made a
point: the Internet will soon allow artists to see more profit from their
work by eliminating the need for middlemen.
The group recently became the first major recording artists to use the
Internet to fight their own record company.
"Technology is leveling the playing field," said Chuck D, the group's leader,
in a phone interview Thursday from his home in Long Island. "No longer can
executives, accountants and lawyers dictate the flow."...
...Two weeks ago, PUBLIC ENEMY began offering free downloads of several songs
from an unreleased album of remixed hits, "Bring the Noise 2000," in the MP3
file format, which allows high-quality sound to be squeezed into a small file.
The group said it planned to release all of the album's tracks on the site
over time.
Chuck D said the release of the songs was meant to protest the "bureaucracy"
in the record industry that eats into artist profits. He said it was not
specifically a response to disagreements with Def Jam, which owns the rights
to the songs. But in a strongly worded statement on the Web site, he lashed
out at the company and the industry.

THE NET
January 15, 1999 By Jim Hu
Staff Writer, CNET News.com
Web technology firm Global Music Outlet has launched its own music download
format, and has signed on rapper Chuck D as the first to promote it...
...Alongside the unveiling of MP4, rap group PUBLIC ENEMY has released its
latest single, "Swindler's Lust," using the MP4 format. PUBLIC ENEMY frontman
Chuck D has been outspoken about the benefits of using the Web--instead of
record stores--to distribute popular music.
Last month, PUBLIC ENEMY's record label, Polygram, threatened to sue Chuck D
after he posted MP3 audio files of his group's unreleased album. The song is
available on PUBLIC ENEMY's Web site...

BILLBOARD DAILY MUSIC UPDATE
January 11, 1999P.E.'s Back With Scathing MP4
Track
Edited by Julie Taraska
PUBLIC ENEMY has unleashed a vitriolic attack on the music industry in the
form of "Swindler's Lust," a new song available for free download on the
hip-hop group's Web site...
...On the track, Chuck D likens artists' plights to that of slavery, tracing
a path of the industry's financial exploitation of black musicians.
Citing the blues players in the Delta, Little Richard, soul singers, session
players, and rappers in the '80s an '90s "who are still trying to get paid,"
he sings in the chorus:
"If you don't own the master
The master owns you
Who you trust
From Swindler's Lust
From the back of the bus
Neither one of us
Control the fate of our soul
It's Swindler's Lust."
...Undoubtedly, another impetus for "Swindler's Lust" was the decision of
PUBLIC ENEMY's label, Def Jam, and parent company, PolyGram (now Universal),
to remove the band's unreleased remix album, "Bring The Noise 2000," from
the group's site in early December...

WIRED NEWS
January 13, 1999 P.E. Puts MP4 in the House
by Christopher Jones
In a tale of mistaken identities and strange bedfellows, legendary hip-hop
group PUBLIC ENEMY has teamed up with a small technology company to rewrite
the rules for promoting, distributing, and pricing music over the Internet.
When Global Music Outlet, or GMO, announces its next-generation music
distribution format this week, it will give artists a way to embed copyright
information in CD-quality files for easy distribution over the Net.
Like MP3, the technology allows users to download small, executable files
that contain music. In addition, players that reveal text, graphics,
copyright information, and hyperlinks to the artist's site are included in
the file.
But, in a controversial move, GMO has trademarked the technology as "MP4,"
a name that has been used informally to describe MPEG-4, a separate,
open-standard technology that is to be released for general licensing later
this year by the International Standards Organization...
...The MP4 format hit the Internet last week when PUBLIC ENEMY posted a new
song, "Swindlers Lust", to its Web site for free download. The song takes a
stab at the music industry's exploitation of artists over the years. It
starts with Chuck D rapping:
"Vultures of culture, dollar a rhyme, but we barely get a dime,"
and goes on to say:
"Rap and R&B paving the streets of Bel Air from the sales of singers no
longer here, the bigger killer gets the bigger share."

January 11, 1999 PUBLIC ENEMY Quit Def Jam
After a very vocal public display of aggresion against their record company
of the last few months, PUBLIC ENEMY have confirmed they have quit Def Jam.
The band will now release it's next album over the internet.
PUBLIC ENEMY have been in dispute with Def Jam ever since they posted CD
audio quality MP3 files from their upcoming remix album at their web site.
After a legal discussion, the band took down the songs but last week posted
up a new song for fans. That song Swindlers Lust told of how recording for a
major label was the equivilant of slavery.

ROLLING STONE NETWORK
January 1999, Ticking Bomb
Digital crusader Chuck D still aims to be the music industry's public
enemy No. 1
As the music industry trembles at the gathering storm clouds of MPEG
technology, PUBLIC ENEMY mastermind Chuck D is dancing in the rain and
shouting out to heaven for more.
Bring it on, he says, licking his chops at the havoc to come when the
proverbial s--- hits the fan. When PUBLIC ENEMY's former label Def Jam
("Def Scam" he now calls them) cried foul at his posting of tracks from the
group's unreleased remix album, Bring the Noise 2000, on WWW.PUBLIC-ENEMY.COM,
D removed them and posted a venemous note in reply. "It seems like the
weasels have stepped into the fire," he wrote. "The execs, lawyers and
accountants who lately have made most of the money in the music biz, are
now running scared from the technology that evens out the creative field
and makes artists harder to pimp ... I'm glad to be a contributor to the
bomb." In other words, he may have lost the battle, but the war . . . that's
just heating up.
To wit, the PUBLIC ENEMY site now features a brand new song, Swindler's Lust,
from the group's forthcoming album, There's a Poison Goin' On. The track is
available for free download in its entirety in the just-unveiled MP4 format,
which features near CD-quality sound in a stand-alone form (no special player
required) that can be attached to e-mail. Fans will have to wait until spring
for PUBLIC ENEMY to drop the rest of the album, but D promises that the whole
shebang will be available on the Web, in addition to traditional disc form.
(He's currently reviewing his options for the hard format distribution).
We caught up with Mistachuck to find out more about the album and the
revolution to come.

DAVEY D'S HIP HOP CORNER
December 7, 1998 PUBLIC ENEMY FORCED TO
REMOVE ALBUM OFF THEIR WEBSITE !
by Davey D
The other day PUBLIC ENEMY got threatened with a lawsuit from their label
Def Jam/Polygram for releasing songs on their website WWW.PUBLIC-ENEMY.COM
from their yet to be released album 'Bring The Noise 2000'. Apparently the
album was supposed to be released several months back. If you recall earlier
this year we had reported how PE was returning to the scene with two lps.
The first was in actuality a soundtrack for Spike Lee's movie 'He's Got Game'.
The second lp which was to immediately follow was the 'Bring The Noise 2000'.

BILLBOARD DAILY MUSIC UPDATE
December 7, 1998 Chuck D Blasts Biz Over MP3
Opposition
Edited by Julie Taraska
PUBLIC ENEMY leader Chuck D is speaking out about the record industry's stance
against the MP3 file format. He tells Billboard Bulletin that the Def Jam
act's attempt to post "Bring The Noise 2000" -- an unreleased collection of
songs and remixes -- for free digital download at WWW.PUBLIC-ENEMY.COM was
an act of defiance against the music industry. Four of the set's 27 songs
were posted in MP3; the tracks were removed from the site shortly after news
broke of their availability.
Noted hip-hop producer Gary G-Wiz, who worked with Chuck D on the MP3
postings, claims that the project is a promotional effort and will not hurt
retail sales. Chuck D says he will use MP3 again in the future.

PUBLIC ENEMY's Chuck D on MP3
by Jennifer Sullivan
Rap group PUBLIC ENEMY is known for speaking out -- especially band member
Chuck D. The group is famous for radical lyrics in songs like "Fight the
Power" and "911 Is a Joke."
When it comes to the controversy surrounding the distribution of audio on
the Internet, Chuck D is true to form. "As far as the industry [goes], fuck
'em all," he said. "Now they're all fucking scared. The means of distributing
the fucking product [is] in anyone's hands."
PUBLIC ENEMY runs an extensive Web site, with audio files of their music,
video clips, message boards, photos, and song lyrics. In the past three
weeks the band posted portions of a longer remix for free download in the
MP3 format, according to Chuck D. They planned to release one sample a week
from an unreleased 27-minute remix of old PUBLIC ENEMY songs called Bring
the Noise 2000.

Cypress Hill HISTORY:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1988: Havana-born Sennen Reyes (Sen Dog) and younger brother Ulpiano Sergio
(Mellow Man Ace), who moved from Cuba to the L. A. suburb of Southgate with
their family in 1971, form the rap quartet DVX with an Italian-American
transplant from Queens, N.Y. named Lawrence Muggerud (DJ Muggs)ˇwho had
previously been with the hip-hop outfit 7A3ˇand L.A native Louis Freese
(B-Real). After Mellow Man Ace splits to launch a solo career, remaining three
members form the group Cypress Hill, named after Cypress Avenue, a street that
runs through the South Central L.A. turf where they live.
1990: With a hard-core rapping style laced with a pro-hemp message, the trio
perform to mostly Latin audiences in and around Los Angeles, recording early
demo versions of "Real Estate," "Light Another," "The Phuncky Feel One,"
"Psychobetabuckdown" and a song called "Trigga Happy Nigga," which later
became their first hit, "How I Could Just Kill A Man." Trio signs with
Philadelphia's RuffHouse label, which has a distribution deal with Columbia
Records.
1991: Debut album, Cypress Hill, comes out in November, with re-recorded
versions of "Real Estate," "Light Another" and "Psychobetabuckdown" as well as
brand-new classics like "Stoned Is The Way of the Walk," "Something For The
Blunted," "Latin Lingo" and "Hand On The Pump."
1992: The band release the single, "The Phuncky Feel One," but it is the
b-side, the controversial gangsta rap classic "How I Could Just Kill A Man,"
which starts to get college radio airplay, leading to N.Y.'s influential WBLS
adding the song, where it became the station's most requested track. The
resulting video spurs the band's album to sell almost two million copies in
the U.S., breaking into the Top 40 and earning the group the "Hot Rap Singles"
nod at the Billboard Music Awards that December. Meanwhile, Muggs begins his
own producing career by helming House of Pain's eponymous debut, which cracks
the Top 20 of the album charts. He would go on to produce such acts as
Funkdoobiest and the Beastie Boys with his cutting-edge hip-hop pastiches. The
band appears on the side-stage at Lollapalooza '92, anticipating their
headlining stint in '95.
1993: Cypress Hill releases its second album, Black Sunday, which was heralded
by the hit single, "Insane In The Brain," launching the band's influential
horror-core hip-hop imagery. The disc shattered records by debuting at #1,
registering the highest first-week SoundScan sales for any rap album in
history up to that point. Thanks to subsequent singles like "I Ain't Goin' Out
Like That," which sampled fellow horror fans Black Sabbath's "The Wizard,"
Black Sunday went on to sell more than two million albums in the U.S. and over
three and a quarter million around the world. The group appears on "Saturday
Night Live" for the first and last time; they're banned after Muggs lights up
a blunt on-air while the group trashes their equipment during the aptly titled
second number, "Ain't Goin' Out." They also headline the SRO "Soul Assassins"
club tour with House of Pain and Funkdoobiest followed by a stint of college
dates with 7 Year Bitch and Rage Against the Machine, showing their
versatility and ability to play for different audiences and with a variety of
groups. Further proof of their desire to push the envelope is borne out by the
trio's two collaborations on the hit "Judgment Night" soundtrack, recording
songs with alternarock gods Sonic Youth ("I Love You Mary Jane") and Pearl Jam
("Real Thing").
1994: After a U.K. tour that winter, Cypress Hill once again appear on the
side stage at the '94 Lollapalooza festival and perform at that summer's
Woodstock concert with newest member, one-time Beastie Boys percussionist Eric
Bobo, son of salsa legend Willie Bobo. The group was named the Best Rap Group
in the annual Rolling Stone Music Awards poll by both critics and readers.
1995: Cypress Hill headlines Lollapalooza '95 with Hole, Sonic Youth,
Pavement, Sin╚ad O' Connor, Beck, Jesus Lizard, Mighty Mighty Bosstones and
others. The band contribute a track, "I Wanna Get High," to the Capricorn
release of the High Times magazine-sponsored "Hempilation" compilation to
benefit the group's pet charity, NORML (National Organization to Reform
Marijuana Laws). The trio release their third album, III (Temples of Boom),
which debuts on the U.S. charts at #3, on its way to platinum-plus sales of
more than 1.5 million despite limited radio and video airplay. The record
featured the hit single, "Throw Your Set In The Air," and such special guests
as Wu-Tang's U-God and the RZA, who produced the track, "Killa Hill." Shortly
after finishing the record, Sen stopped touring with the band to pursue other
musical interests, including his band SX-10.
1996: Cypress Hill spend much of the year on the road, headlining shows with
311 and The Pharcyde before going out as one of the featured acts on the
inaugural "Smokin' Grooves" tour that summer with Ziggy Marley, the Fugees,
Busta Rhymes and A Tribe Called Quest. Later that year, they release a
nine-song EP, Unreleased and Revamped, which brought together rare remixes
never before available commercially.
1997: Group members take time to get involved in individual projects. Muggs
cuts a solo album, Muggs Presents... The Soul Assassins, with members of Wu
Tang Clan, Dr. Dre, KRS-One, Wyclef Jean, Mobb Deep and the rest of Cypress
Hill. B-Real collaborated with Busta Rhymes, Coolio, LL Cool J and Method Man
on the cut, "Hit 'Em High," from the multi-platinum "Space Jam" original
soundtrack. He also hooked up with Dr. Dre, Nas and KRS-One on the track,
"East Coast Killer, West Coast Killer," on Dre's hit Aftermath album, and
recorded his solo debut, The Psycho Realm, with L.A.-based Latino rappers Duke
and Jacken. During the summer, Cypress Hill once again set out on the "Smokin'
Grooves" tour with George Clinton and the P-Funk All Stars and Eryka Badu,
among others.
1998: After releasing the record Get Wood Sampler with his punk-metal hybrid
SX-10 on Jordan Schur's Flip label, Sen Dog returns to the Cypress Hill fold
just in time to record the band's fourth album and join them for their third
consecutive appearance on last summer's "Smokin' Grooves" tour with labelmates
Wyclef Jean &the Refugee Allstars, Busta Rhymes, Gang Starr and Canibus.
Cypress Hill THE PRESENT:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This fall's release of IV, produced by DJ Muggs for the Soul Assassins, marks
a welcome return to the groundbreaking hip-hop group's roots in atmospheric,
cutting-edge rap in all its wide-screen, larger-than-life glory. Cypress Hill
revisits some of its most chilling street scenarios in "Looking Through The
Eye of A Pig," the rumbling "Prelude To A Come Up" (with a guest rap by MC
Eiht and samples from Mobb Deep and Amon DŞŞl [!]) and the eerie
funhouse-mirror carnival send-up, "16 Men Till There's No Men Left."
The quartet's audio-visual flair comes through in such cinematic set-pieces as
the gangsta homage, "Steel Magnolia" (featuring newcomer Barron Ricks), the
disaster epic blueprint "Feature Presentation" (featuring Ricks and Chace
Infinite) and the Latin-flavored "Tequila Sunrise" (also with Ricks and slated
as the radio impact single), while the mythic "Clash of the Titans" and the
closing "Lightning Strikes" provide a suitably apocalyptic one-two punch
finale.
And of course, there's a coupla odes to the chronic in the light-hearted "Dr.
Greenthumb" (the b-side to the single) and the anthemic "High Times." The
first single, "Tequila Sunrise" b/w "Dr. Greenthumb," will include a remix
featuring Latin hip-hop icon Fat Joe and a Spanish language version. The video
for "Tequila Sunrise" is being directed by Kevin Kerslake, known for his work
with Smashing Pumpkins, the Offspring and Nirvana, among others.
As always, Cypress Hill defy categorization and accusations of sell-out by
doing things their way and not following the commercial trends of the moment.
They're not just alternative, hip-hop, rock, jazz, punk, thrash, skate-core or
metal, but a melting pot of cross-cultural references that go together like
prime buddage and a bong. Answering critics who say the band has strayed from
its hip-hop heritage, B-Real says: "What people don't understand is, if we
take the music as high as we can, we're not leaving it behind to do another
kind of music. We're taking it with us.... taking advantage of the doors that
were kicked the fuck open!" With IV, these smokin' legends prove the sky's the
limit for how high their potpourri of modern hip-hop and rock can fly.

Verse 1:
One vagina, two vagina just like a minor

sucking, fat lips swelled with the ovaries
the space in between was her urinary opening
vagina walls pollute my dick with the uteris
Funkdoobiest, yo girls aint used to this

Verse 2:

Pussy aint shit but lips and clit x 4
Verse 3:
Nigga wanna die for the pussy and fight for the pussy

Pussy aint shit but lips and clit x 4

Artist: N.W.A. (Ice Cube)
Album: Straight Outta Compton
Song: I Ain't tha One
Intro: girl, Ice Cube
[Ice Cube, do you think you could give me some money to get
my hair done?] How short's your hair right now?
[Well you know I get it done every week, and I need my nails
done too] Look, I'ma tell you like this
Verse One:
I ain't the one, the one to get played like a pooh butt
See I'm from the street, so I know what's up
On these silly games that's played by the women
I'm only happy when I'm goin up in them
But you know, I'm a menace to society
But girls in biker shorts are so fly to me
So I step to em, with aggression
Listen to the kid, and learn a lesson today
See they think we narrow minded
Cause they got a cute face, and big-behinded
So I walk over and say "How ya doin?"
See I'm only down for screwin, but you know
ya gotta play it off cool
Cause if they catch you slippin, you'll get schooled
And they'll get you for your money, son
Next thing you know you're gettin their hair and they nails done
Fool, and they'll let you show em off
But when it comes to sex, they got a bad cough
Or a headache, it's all give and no take
Run out of money, and watch your heart break
They'll drop you like a bad habit
cause a brother with money yo, they gotta have it
Messin with me though, they gets none
You can't juice Ice Cube girl, cause I ain't the one
Interlude One:
[Girrrrrl, you got to get these brothers for all the money
you can honey. Cause if they ain't got no money, they can't
do nothin for me but get out of my face.]
[I know what you mean girl, it ain't nothin right jumpin off
unless he got dollars]
Verse Two:
Sometimes I used to wonder
How the hell an ugly dude get a fine girl's number
He's gettin juiced for his ducats
I tell a girl in a minute yo, I drive a bucket
And won't think nuttin of it
She can ride or walk, either leave it or love it
I show her that I'm not the O, the N-E, say
I'm a ruthless N-I double-G A
Cause I'm gamin on a female that's gamin on me
You know I spell girl with a B
A brother like me is only out for one thing
I think with my ding-a-ling, but I won't bring no
flowers to your doorstep, when we goin out
Cause you'll take it for granted, no doubt
And after the date, I'ma want to do the wild thing
You want lobster huh? I'm thinking Burger King
And when I take you, you get frustrated
You can't juice Ice Cube and you hate it
But you see, I don't go nuts
Over girls like you with the BIG ol butts
It start comin out the pocket, to knock it
But when the damage is done...
You can only lay me girl, you can't play me girl
For the simple fact that, I ain't the one
Interlude Two:
[I don't care how they look if they got money,
we can hook up but they ain't gettin none.]
[Yeah I just make em think they gonna get some,
play up they mind a lil bit, and get that money.]
[Oh Ice Cube, can I have some money pleeeease?]
Verse Three:
Give you money why bother
Cause you know I'm lookin nothin like your father
Girl, I can't be played or ganked
Ganked means getting took for your bank
Or your gold or your money or something
Nine times outta ten, she's giving up nothing
They get mad when I put it in perspective
But let's see if my knowledge is effective
To the brothas man they robbing you blind
Cause they fine with a big behind, but pay it no mind
Keep your money to yourself homie
and if you got enough game
You'll get her name and her number
Without going under
You can't leave em and love and stay above em
I used to get no play now she stay behind me
Cause I said I had a Benz 190
But I lied and played the one
Just to get some now she feels dumb
To my homies it's funny
But that's what you get trying to play me for my money
Now don't you feel used
But I don't give hoot, huh, because I knock boots
You shouldn't be, so damn material
And try to milk Ice Cube like cereal
Now how many times do I have to say it
Cause if I have to go get a gun
You girls will learn I don't burn
You think I'm a sucka, but I ain't the one
Outro:
[But you said you love me!]
I don't see no rings on this finger
[Why you doin me like this? I love you!]
Yeah you love my money, I got what I wanted -- beat it

Song: Fuck Tha Police
Right about now, NWA court is in full effect.
Judge Dre presiding in the case of NWA versus the police department.
Prosecuting attourneys are MC Ren, Ice Cube, and Eazy muthafuckin E.
Order, order, order. Ice Cube, take the muthafuckin stand.
Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth
and nothin but the truth so help your black ass?
<You're goddamn right!>
Why don't you tell everybody what the fuck you gotta say?
Fuck tha police
Comin straight from the underground
Young nigga got it bad cuz I'm brown
And not the other color so police think
They have the authority to kill a minority
Fuck that shit, cuz I ain't tha one
For a punk muthafucka with a badge and a gun
To be beatin on, and throwin in jail
We could go toe to toe in the middle of a cell
Fuckin with me cuz I'm a teenager
With a little bit of gold and a pager
Searchin my car, lookin for the product
Thinkin every nigga is sellin narcotics
You'd rather see me in the pen
Then me and Lorenzo rollin in the Benzo
Beat tha police outta shape
And when I'm finished, bring the yellow tape
To tape off the scene of the slaughter
Still can't swallow bread and water
I don't know if they fags or what
Search a nigga down and grabbin his nuts
And on the other hand, without a gun they can't get none
But don't let it be a black and a white one
Cuz they slam ya down to the street top
Black police showin out for the white cop
Ice Cube will swarm
On any muthafucka in a blue uniform
Just cuz I'm from the CPT, punk police are afraid of me
A young nigga on a warpath
And when I'm finished, it's gonna be a bloodbath
Of cops, dyin in LA
Yo Dre, I got somethin to say
Fuck the police (4X)
<Example of scene one:
<Pull your goddamn ass over right now.>
<Ah shit, what the fuck you pullin me over for?>
<Cuz I feel like it. Just sit your ass on the curb and shut the fuck up.>
<Man, fuck this shit.>
<Alright smartass, I'm takin' your black ass to jail.>
MC Ren, will you please give your testimony
to the jury about this fucked up incident.>
Fuck tha police and Ren said it with authority
because the niggaz on the street is a majority.
A gang, is with whoever I'm stepping
and the motherfuckin' weapon
is kept in a stash box, for the so-called law
wishin' Ren was a nigga that they never saw
Lights start flashin behind me
But they're scared of a nigga so they mace me to blind me
But that shit don't work, I just laugh
Because it gives em a hint not to step in my path
To the police I'm sayin fuck you punk
Readin my rights and shit, it's all junk
Pullin out a silly club, so you stand
With a fake assed badge and a gun in your hand
But take off the gun so you can see what's up
And we'll go at it punk, I'ma fuck you up
Make ya think I'm a kick your ass
But drop your gat, and Ren's gonna blast
I'm sneaky as fuck when it comes to crime
But I'm a smoke em now, and not next time
Smoke any muthafucka that sweats me
Or any assho that threatens me
I'm a sniper with a hell of a scope
Takin out a cop or two, they can't cope with me
The muthafuckin villian that's mad
With potential to get bad as fuck
So I'm a turn it around
Put in my clip, yo, and this is the sound
Ya, somethin like that, but it all depends on the size of the gat
Takin out a police would make my day
But a nigga like Ren don't give a fuck to say
Fuck the police (4X)
<Yo, man, what you need?
Police, open now. We have a warrant for Eazy-E's arrest.
Get down and put your hands up where I can see em.
Just shut the fuck up and get your muthafuckin ass on the floor.
[huh?]>
<Yo Eazy-E, why don't you step up to the stand
and tell the jury how you feel abou this bullshit.>
I'm tired of the muthafuckin jackin
Sweatin my gang while I'm chillin in the shackin
Shining tha light in my face, and for what
Maybe it's because I kick so much butt
I kick ass, or maybe cuz I blast
On a stupid assed nigga when I'm playin with the trigga
Of any Uzi or an AK
Cuz the police always got somethin stupid to say
They put up my picture with silence
Cuz my identity by itself causes violence
The E with the criminal behavior
Yeah, I'm a gansta, but still I got flavor
Without a gun and a badge, what do ya got?
A sucka in a uniform waitin to get shot,
By me, or another nigga.
and with a gat it don't matter if he's smarter or bigger
[MC Ren: Sidle him, kid, he's from the old school, fool]
And as you all know, E's here to rule
Whenever I'm rollin, keep lookin in the mirror
And there's no cue, yo, so I can hear a
Dumb muthafucka with a gun
And if I'm rollin off the 8, he'll be tha one
That I take out, and then get away
And while I'm drivin off laughin
This is what I'll say
Fuck the police (4X)
<The verdict.
The jury has found you guilty of bein a redneck,
whitebread, chickenshit muthafucka.
Wait, that's a lie. That's a goddamn lie.
I want justice! I want justice!
Fuck you, you black muthafucka!>

Fuck the motherfucking police!
They don't want peace, they want a nigga deceased
So he'll cease to be a problem, and by the way the perform
It seems the Klan gave the white police another uniform
And yo the black police, the house niggaz
They gave you a motherfucking gun, so I guess you figure
you made out, good to go, but you didn't know
They would stick your black ass back in the ghetto, yo
To kill another nigga, catch him with crack, in fact
Freebase - they put in the neighborhood in the first place
But the brothers ain't stupid, remember that
You got a gat, I got a gat, so whassup with that

The last words you hear, then the smoke appears
Tears, from your motherfuckin family
They're starin at me, but I'm goin gun happy, fuck em!

Episode One:
Yeah that shit's hittin man, where the volume at?
Hold-up, hold-up, hold-up, one-time, one-time, one-time
Put the joint out! Put the joint out!
Hey you motherfuckers want to step out of the car?
Don't you know it's against the law to play music so god damn loud? Shut
the fuck up! Go to jail? Gimme that shit you was just smoking
Motherfuckers from high crime areas view the police as a threat
And that's some shit you betta not forget
Verse Two: Eazy-E
Eazy E's the name feared by most
When, a lil nigga is thrown in the pen
But on the streets there's two kinds of people
White rich fucks and the ones who get harassed like me
Pull over to the side, routine for me
Tearin up my shit, like they lookin for a key of cocaine
But they never find the shit
Ain't got nuttin better to do and nobody else to fuck wit
Thinkin everything is stolen
But can't face facts that a young black nigga's just rollin
Making more money than they ever make
Taking more shit than they ever take
Yo pigs are made to kill, and no regret and
keep your hand on your weapon shoot his ass and start steppin
Cause I'm a nigga that don't give a fuck about nothin
So let me explain a lil somethin, yo
See, I got this problem, a big problem...
Cops don't like me, so I don't like motherfucking cops
Chorus:
Fuck the police! Fuck, fuck, fuck the police
Fuck
Fuck, fuck, fuck the police
[Fuck the police!]
Episode Two:
Get out of the fuckin car!
Wait a god damn minute what the hell did I do?
Hey just shut the fuck up black bitch
Wait a minute, you ain't gotta be pullin me by my motherfuckin hair! Let
go of my motherfuckin hair!
Hey just step the fuck back and shut up!
Get your motherfuckin hands off of me!
Calm down, calm down now... listen, we're gonna go around this corner, and
you're gonna suck me and my partner's dicks, or you're gonna
be one black dead nigger bitch
Police brutality is common in my neighborhood
That's why I hate them motherfuckers
Verse Three: MC Ren
I said fuck the police but with a little more force
And maybe now I get my point across
It's a lot here that's goin on, just open your eyes and look
Everyday a young nigga is took
Off the face of the street by a police
It's like they gotta a nigga chained on a short leash
You can't leave out the city that they shacked up
Cause if you do that's the right they got you jacked up
It's embarassin because you know they justice, but all you can do
is say fuck this, because if you move, that's all she wrote
So what? The excuse to shoot, or they rather stomp your head
til you're dead with the steel toe boot
Harassin me with some kind of mind game
Actin like a nigga just was born with a gang-name
You call that right but when you're black there's no right
Some recreational shit was only a gang fight
So shootin at the cops was a street thing
To waste time have to explain don't do cocaine
But everything was done just for peace
To retaliate, on the fuckin police, so I'm sayin
Chorus:
Fuck the police! Fuck, fuck, fuck the police!
Fuck
Fuck the police! Fuck, fuck the police!

Hey Juan, look at the piece of ass man
Watch out watch out watch out homes!
Oh shit man you fucked up, you hit a police car

Aiy-yo!
[B-Real]
I remember that freak bitch, up in the clubs
The Victoria's Secret, she give love
No matter which way you keep it
You'll get shoved out the picture, now peep it
(You get the gloves bitch!)
I used to know this girl that slanged the green shit
Had it all goin on, but it didn't mean shit
She wanted to be a star, with big cars
and all the fame that came my way I gotta say
that she was all that, and a bag of indo
with no seed, such a delightful weed
I wish she was still around but, no she's gone
I guess she got blessed and she got put on
Aiyyo I miss that girl, she had the bomb, was the
bomb-diggy bomb bomb, and nope, I'm not Qu'ran
Had all the holy books, and notes to get still
I never met another dealer with that appeal
With those electric eyes, hypnotized
any wise man surprised, the queen of the lye
[Barron Ricks]
Bee eyes, bouncin five deep, clicked of innocence
Hangin with friends, all under surveillance from the government
While Don want tights they floss rights, just chewin on ice
Meditatin with her camp, gettin damp
She's a pimp or tile freak bitch, high maintenance
She got her fuckin clit pierced, chained to her anus
Professional for wettin niggaz up, suck em first
til they bust, swallow nut, then she's quick to strut
right out the projects, been a whore since ninety-one
Suck a niggaz dick for fun, holdin guns in her buns
Type of chick tell you 'fuck me in the ass' talkin shit
While she goin WALLA-WALLA-WALLA-WALLA-WALLA on your dick
[B-Real]
I remember that freak bitch, up in the clubs
The Victoria's Secret, she give love
No matter which way you keep it
You'll get shoved out the picture, now peep it
(You get the gloves bitch!)
Yeah since I seen the queen of green on the screen
So I stepped up, to her screen door, like a dream
or better yet like a fiend, who need a fix
She wasn't like other chicks, pullin tricks on the scheme for chips
She was like, Run-D.M.C., _Tougher Than Leather_
Raw bitch, but then she was soft like a feather
Never again will I meet a woman of her nature
SkyPager turned off, datin one of the Lakers
Lucky-ass nigga with the jump shot
He got that hot shit, all in his pocket on lock
Damn I guess I'm jealous that another fella's got with her
but her sister's, bangin too, what should I do?
Fuck it I'll do like my nigga Smooth with the Princess
Plantin my seed in the next Queen of Buddha Bless
Fuck playin the second string, on the squad
I'm blowin up, all in your face, word to God
[Barron Ricks]
Yeah I fucked her in the Hershey Tunnel, deep inside
it made her pussy bubble, aiyyo she told me that it loves you
I told her 'arch that back, let me see that ass'
And then I kissed it, licked it, stuck my nose all in position
? baby listen, can't you see my fuckin dick is throbbin
She started slobbin and gogglin, spittin burblin burpin it
I told her 'just don't matter baby, just don't bite it'
No hold barred, my dick was hard enough to dent a car, I stuck it in
between to spread the Red Sea apart, the pussy fart
was a motherfuckin work of art, she rode my dick
just like a Kawasaki til the pussy started soundin sloppy
like an old jalopy, time to nut
Took off the condom slapped her on the but, then I bust
on her face in between her lips
Then she started lickin it, cause it was good shit, protein!
High and rich.. damn I got my shit freaky, Mr. Ricks
[B-Real]
I remember that freak bitch, up in the clubs
The Victoria's Secret, she give love
No matter which way you keep it
You'll get shoved out the picture, now peep it

Verse One: B Smooth
Word up, Tequila style... eat the worm
(overlapping intro's end)
Tequila spice, hot nice
Milling rice, sipping on Jose Cuervo
Down in Tiajuana, Mexico
Thinking of the big score the night before
Met the connect, who was impressively dressed
In high fabrics
With troops like Babe Ruth, up on the mezzanine
Brandishing sub-machine guns, aye-yo
It's all about the money, son
Now that's the only reason
We came south of the border, to complete this work order
We gotta get it, no looking back, going all out for it
Ready to attack, die in a minute flat for it
As God is my witness, we got ditches
for all you motherfuckin fake bitches
It all boils down to the business
Nothing personal, when niggaz acting like they helping you
I fuckin blast you like Frank Castle, motherfucker!
Chorus
Tequila Sunrise, bloodshot eyes
Realize we're all born to die
So get the money nigga!
(repeat 2x)
Verse Two: B-Real
I never knew money like this, in the palm of my hand
'Til I met the man with mad hook-up, and big plan
Every where you look'a, he got everybody shook up
Running for cover, the big bad WOOF, motherfucker
He was like a father figure, show me the bigger picture
Fuck slangin' on the corner, don't let the pigs get you
Not like these fools who don't comprehend
You end up doing a twenty-five bid in the pen
You got that? Getting your cup, I took a swig
The bitter taste of the 'mezcal', free worm shit
Droppin' a lesson, he slapped my face, he said listen
Pay attention brotha, you're my ace, but don't ever question
Just do what I say, and you'll be rich
And keep this in your mind: rats lay in a ditch with no spine
Don't ever forget that golden rule in the game
Cheers, they all know your name, it's like fame
Why, women and money don't mix, like drinking an' driving
Watch those conniving women and keep your eye out
Always be aware of what's around you
They wanna down you, and fuckin clown you
Keep your shit in order the money won't stop
Pretty soon you'll be on top
Chorus
Verse Three: B-Real
Tequila Sunrise, with the bloodshot eyes
My, my, my, how time flies and goes by surprise
My mentor passed on and passed a warn to me, emergency
For my enemies who wanna murder me
Eat the worm, motherfucker, while you burn, motherfucker
Better kill me, don't let me return, motherfucker
Trust no man, cause I'll be back, you understand?
With a plan, and my ace in hand, I want it all
I recall the words from Jesus, you are the Juice
Better go get it, don't let it get to your head, embed it
Let these words stick, you better be ready to die
Now take a fucking sip, caution it, but I never lie

Well try my Dr. Greenthumb grow tips

From seed to clone, and the best homegrown
And if you're afraid of those pesky pork choppers in the sky
No worries, we'll fix them too
with one of our Dr. Greenthumb 'Sizzlean' screens
to block the nosy pig's vision
Don't believe me?
Just ask one of my many satisfied clients here Jed Sanders
how well it works
Hyuh, hyuh, hello mah name is Jaid
And ahm a farmer and I've been growin
mary-jah-wana fer about twenty years and uhh

I don't hafta point my shotgun

"Hello Dr. Greenthumb, paging Dr. Greenthumb!"
[B-Real]
Hello my name is Dr. Greenthumb
I'd like to tell you just where I'm from
In the hills where the trees grow wild with weed fields
The fucking pigs with shields holding the blue steels
Greenhouse effect with the weed connect
(Doctor) DEA can't keep Greenthumb in check (Doctor!)
HPS, God Bless the whole crop
Please God, don't let me see no cops
Trunkload, ready to hit the highway
Don't let the eye in the sky fly my way
or we gonna have big trouble, that's no shit
Can't be growin without no permit
but fuck that, I study the 215 trip
That way when they come they can suck my dick
Weed can't grow without attention
Hello my name is Dr. Greenthumb
Chorus:
[B-Real] Hello my name is Dr. Greenthumb
[SenDog] Hello my name is Dr. Greenthumb!
[B-Real] I'd like to tell you just where I'm from
[SenDog] Hello my name is Dr. Greenthumb
[B-Real] Hello my name is Dr. Greenthumb
[SenDog] Hello my name is Dr. Greenthumb!
[B-Real] I'd like to tell you just where I'm from
[SenDog] Aiyyo Dr. Greenthumb, come on back one time!
[B-Real]
People can't live without the herb man
If not they'd be drinkin and drivin and swervin
but thanks to Dr. Greenthumb weed grow
in the backyard or inside with hydro
To the cush plant brushin a tangerine dream
Tasty, blowin a fuckin smokescreen
Cycles of weed are constantly grown
Somebody give me the razor to cut groves
I'd like to stop, but it feels so good
Horny plants stinkin up my whole neighborhood
Sticky angel, I wanna leave it alone
but never ever ever gotta worry from my home
What that funny sound knockin at the door (Open up it's the DEA!)
Sorry Greenthumb can't talk no more
Please don't follow me into the sun
Hello my name is Dr. Greenthumb
Chorus 1/2
[B-Real]
Out from the lab, no need for rehab
If I can't drive then call me a cab (ese!)
In my closet the weed is dried out
Like Eiht said, ain't no place to hide out
I don't wanna buy no weed from no cop
Get knocked up and they close up my shop
That's why I buy no weed from no one
That's why they call me Dr. Greenthumb
The scientifical, mystical one
Growin my crops with the rays of the sun
Come one come all and see how it's done
If you see the pigs there's no need to run
Cause some of these pigs are down with Greenthumb
But you never know what be the outcome
You see the photo in the album
The weed is growin like my erection
Look I never told you where I was from
Some call me Real, but I'm Dr. Greenthumb
Chorus
Dr. Greenthumb
Doctor, your Bulova plant needs special tending to
Doctor, we need more oxygen we need more CO2
Doctor, Dr. Greenthumb you're needed

Pick it, wicked rhymes, picket signs
While me and the mob gotta truck full of 9's]
Play ya and I'll slay ya
I got thug-made dough by the hey-a
Ready to BUCK BUCK BUCK and it's a must
to DUCK DUCK DUCK before I bust
Lookin for the one that did it
but like En Vogue, no you're never gonna get it
Cos I'm the one with the fat mad skills
and I won't choke like the Buffalo Bills
Sittin at the pad just chillin
cos Larry Parker just got two million, oh what a feelin
So shake that nigga and pass me the pill
and I'll slam dunk ya like Shaquille O'Neal
Like it, dig it, maybe and watch that ??? ???
Kick it cos I get wicked
Chorus: (some toaster, once again won't translate to avoid offending)
Verse 2:
Won't say nuttin, just listen
Got me a plan to break Tyson outta prison
Come my way and get served
Still got a duece that'll bunny hop the curb
Nappy head, nappy chest, nappy chin
Never seen with a happy grin
Show the fat foul cos I'm down
Take a look around
and all you see is big black boots steppin
Use my steel toe as a weapon
Kick ya and flip ya, now they want to
label this nigga, tape with the sticker
Kickin out girls that's nicety
Yo, I gotta body count like Ice-T
From here to New York
I get skins and ain't talkin bout pork
Swine, pig, dick
Listen to the flow of a so-called negro
who didn't know I was funky as Wilson Pickett
Dig it cos I get wicked

Verse 3:
People wanna know how come
I gotta gat and I'm lookin out the window like Malcolm
Ready to bring that noise
Kinda trigger happy like the *?guitar boys?*
April 29th was power to the people
and we might just see a sequel
cos police got equal pay
A horse is a pig that don't fly straight
Doin Darryl Gates but is Willie Williams
down with the pilgrims
Just a super slave
We'll have to break his ass up like Super Dave
I'm wicked enough to board this
Cos now it's on to the fullest
Gorilla straight from the mist
But I don't miss when it comes to this
Bring the yellow tape
The white cape, cos I'm so straight
Thru with the picket signs, take his job and stick it

Mistadobalina, Mista Bob Dobalina, Mista Bob Dobalina won't you quit?
you really make me sick with ya fraudulent behavior
you're gonna make me flip and then an army couldn't save ya
why don't you behave ya little rugrat
take a little tip from the tabloid
because I know I'm not paranoid
when I say I saw ya tryin' to mock me
now you and your crew are on a mission tryin' to hawk me
but it isn't happenin' ya fraudulent foes
you used to front big time now I suppose
that everything's cool since the style of apparel you adopted
you used to make fun of but now you wanna rock it
so you gotta kick it with the homies
but D-E-L is already hip to your cronies
me and CM-PX thought about this and never have we seen a
brother who could look like Mista, Mista, Mistadobalina...
[Chorus]
Ooooo, ooooo, mistadobalina
you thought ya could manipulate
you thought you could fool me
Ooooo, ooooo, mistadobalina
?_____? put me on a stump and then he schooled me
friends can be fraudulent
just you wait and see
first he was my moneygrip
then he stole my honeydip
mistadobalina is a serpent
don't you agree
the little two-tima
resembles Aunt Jemima
with jeans and a dirty white hoodie
seems like he wouldn't be a snake
or would he
disguises come in all sizes and shapes
notice the facade of the snakes
they all catch the vapes
even though last year they was GQ
took a little time before the D-E-L could see through
the mask
all I had to do was ask ?_____? and Kwame
and my man responded they would bomb a
fraudulent foe with the strength of Hercules
the way ya on my dick must really hurt ya knees
you need to take heed and quit being such a groupie
ever since I did a little show in Guadeloupee
I neva saw a groupie like you
but what is funny is ya wanted to be down with my crew
but D-E-L is not down with any clowns or jesters
so I would suggest
that ya try to impress Uncle Fester
dobolina
because ya don't impress me
dobolina
the style of dress is not the key
dobolina
it's all in the mind and the heart
so you should start
by remembering ya gotta pay a fee

Yo, dig, it's the new fig for the E-Double
I pack a Mac 10 just in case of trouble
Hot like the handle on a pot, I'm steaming
Fame and more glory than Morgan Freeman
I'm the original, my style's deformed
So it can sound crazy ill when I perform
Yea, check 1, 2, mic supreme

The E-Double's definitely no joke
You can't see me, even wit the microphone
I'm massive dope, funky, who's deffer
Yo, when I express myself like Salt 'N Pepa
Erick Sermon and Parrish Smith
The sickest, the wickest, crazy mad psycho, the slickest

Know the rap game just like Bo knows hoes

Song: You Gots to Chill
Intro
[Pee MD]
You Gots to Chill...
Verse 1
[E Double E]
Relax your mind, let your conscience be free
And get down to the sounds of EPMD
Oh, you should keep quiet while the MC rap
But if you're tired, then go take a nap
Or stay awake and watch the show I take
Because right now I'm 'bout to shake'n'bake
The E-R-I-C-K is my name, I spell
Things to the clientele, yo I rock well
I'm not an MC who' talkin' all that junk
About who can beat who, soundin' like a punk
I just get down and I go for mine
Say "Check 1-2" and run down a line
[Pee MD]
To the average MC I'm known as The Terminator
Funky beat maker, new jack exterminator
Destroyin' a ploy when your rhymes are not void
Never sweatin' your girl (Why P?) Cos she's a skeezoid
When I'm on the scene I always rock the spot
I grab the steel with the crown on the top
In the beginnin' I like to let my rhymes flow
And at twelve I press cruise control
Sit back and relax, let my rhymes tax
Maintain MC's while the Double E macks
Always calm under pressure, no need to act ill
Listen when I tell you boy, you gots to chill...
Verse 2
[E Double E]
I be the personal computer, information on rap
Like the B-I-Z Markie says, I'll make your toes tap
I format the rhymes step by step
Make 'em sound def to maintain my rep
Prepared to come off in case of a diss
Not worried about a thing, cos we can do this
I can turn the party out just by standin' still
Make the ladies scream and shout while the brothers act ill
Take total control of your body and soul
Pack a nine in my pants for when it's time to roll
[Pee MD]
I'm the P-double-E M-D-E-E
And one thing I hate is a bitin' MC
When I enter the party suckers always form a line
Then they ease their way up and try to bite my lines
I did thousands of shows, dissed many faces
And deal with new jacks on a one-to-one basis
But every now and then a sucker MC gets courageous
And like an epidemic it becomes contagious
But never the least they all R.I.P
For all those unaware it means Rest In Peace
Cos M.D stands for Microphone Doctor
And the capital P, capital M, capital D-E-E's no doubt the chief
rocker
Don't like to get ill, but if I have to I kill
So believe me boy, you gots to chill...
Verse 3
[E Double E]
Catch every word I'm sayin', no there's no delayin'
Don't hestitate to motivate the crowd, I'm not playin'
Seeing is believing, you catch my drift?
Don't try to adapt because I'm just too swift
(How swift?) I'm so swift and that's an actual fact
I'm like Zorro, I mark a E on your back
I don't swing on no ropes or no iron cords
The only weapon is my rappin' sword
[Pee MD]
Intimidate MC's with the tone of my vocal drone
When I'm pushin' on the microphone
Cos I'm the funky rhyme maker, MC undertaker
The one who likes to max and relax
And, when it's time, issue diggum-smacks
I keep their hands clappin', fingers snappin', feet tappin'
When it's time to roll Uzi patrol's packin'
The Pee MD, the mic's my only friend
And through the course of the party I kill again and again
So if you're thinkin' 'bout battlin' you better come prepared
Come wit' your shield and your armoured gear
You gots to chill...

Sun don't cease at a hundred degrees I'm coolin in your freezer
(He's a breezer) I hits it up with that bald faced rap
I sinks to the crack, and I make shit get wild
Run it by, bust to start, to punch, others front
Top drop Ceasar, it's more than a leisure
Bitch every fuckin grain in your brain, like a tweezer
The sinister thief, shaded to six feet deep
for the misdemeanor, offender, the backbender (UH)
Corny nigga, the bullshit trip ender (YEAH)
Never perpetratin, so ain't no lurkin in the dark
I'm lurkin near the workin niggaz heart
Used to be a gambler, when I was a scrambler
Now I'm grand to her, shorty back might damage her
Who's this here, state my facts, and react
and saturate brains with a plate of hot wax
Intertwining, combining and aligning, shining, studies
in the light right now while we wreak fuckin havoc!
*chorus*
Come inside with his highness, the illinest
Killin em with adrenalin, blast past the minimum
Look to the winter's ugliness, ruggedness
Under the rug, front to this, money strikes confidence
Chopped in the days and the blazin smell
then the realm of a seance, I blackloose, guns!
Comin to the project, walls with AKs
We're talkin days, word, that you sun
You really want some next shit, some blood on the exit?
ONYX!!! Watch me wreck shit as they exit
But yo I keep em hollerin, screamin out for mercy
minds of a lowest of enemies, ghetto mentality
So blast it as I hit your head you're dead not disbelievin
Got the toxic rock, to bring a nigga Biohazard!
*chorus*
Yo!!! Gimme that shit, you fuckin baldheaded bastard!
(What the Evil Nastee Access?) Mad shit to burn the acids!
(So ashes to ashes) raps with the ghetto gats!

Mainly a Devil rebel, foul) Niggaz know we fuckin wild!
(I'm wild!) I'm wild (He's wild) So we's wild!
(Capture the rapture!) Come blackness after!
[Sticky Fingaz]
I swear to fuckin God I raise Hell and make the white man call me MASTER
I'm six-six-six, and need to repent to the pastor
SO FUCK THE RADIO and close your ears but read my lips I rips
and if you eat my words I'll leave your strung like umm (UMM, UMMMHH!!)
It was on the tip of my tongue!
But now it's stuck in between my throat
I can't breath so I lick it
Onyx ain't the top pick, you must be suckin a black dick
And if it takes the death of me, to make history
The whole world will remember my misery
I know what I'm tryin to say my words get in the way
they render me speechless, ohh Black Jesus I'm cryin inside
Couldn't give a FUCK if I live or die
cause I'm just a slave who's brave (uh-huh)
But fuck pickin cotton, I'd rather see my grave, so I
meditated, before I was created
And if you prefer sorrow, made me reincarnated
Now I'm back rulin MC's but pussy niggaz increase
Well then it's just another nigga that, gotta get greased

Back!!!
Caught you lookin' for the same thing
It's a new thing - check out this I bring
Uh Oh the roll below the level
'Cause I'm livin' low next to the bass, C'mon
Turn up the radio
They claim that I'm a criminal
By now I wonder how
Some people never know
The enemy could be their friend, guardian
I'm not a hooligan
I rock the party and
Clear all the madness, I'm not a racist
Preach to teach to all
'Cause some they never had this
Number one, not born to run
About the gun...
I wasn't licensed to have one
The minute they see me, fear me
I'm the epitome - a public enemy
Used, abused without clues
I refused to blow a fuse
They even had it on the news
Don't believe the hype...
Yes
Was the start of my last jam
So here it is again, another def jam
But since I gave you all a little something
That we knew you lacked
They still consider me a new jack
All the critics you can hang'em
I'll hold the rope
But they hope to the pope
And pray it ain't dope
The follower of Farrakhan
Don't tell me that you understand
Until you hear the man
The book of the new school rap game
Writers treat me like Coltrane, insane
Yes to them, but to me I'm a different kind
We're brothers of the same mind, unblind
Caught in the middle and
Not surrenderin'
I don't rhyme for the sake of of riddlin'
Some claim that I'm a smuggler
Some say I never heard of 'ya
A rap burgler, false media
We don't need it do we?
It's fake that's what it be to 'ya, dig me?
Don't believe the hype...
Don't believe the hype - its a sequel
As an equal, can I get this through to you
My 98's boomin' with a trunk of funk
All the jealous punks can't stop the dunk
Comin' from the school of hard knocks
Some perpetrate, they drink Clorox
Attack the black, cause I know they lack exact
The cold facts, and still they try to Xerox
Leader of the new school, uncool
Never played the fool, just made the rules
Remember there's a need to get alarmed
Again I said I was a timebomb
In the daytime the radio's scared of me
'Cause I'm mad, plus I'm the enemy
They can't c'mon and play with me in primetime
'Cause I know the time, plus I'm gettin' mine
I get on the mix late in the night
They know I'm livin' right, so here go the mike, sike
Before I let it go, don't rush my show
You try to reach and grab and get elbowed
Word to herb, yo if you can't swing this
Just a little bit of the taste of the bass for you
As you get up and dance at the LQ
When some deny it, defy if I swing bolos
Then they clear the lane I go solo
The meaning of all of that
Some media is the whack
You believe it's true, it blows me through the roof
Suckers, liars get me a shovel
Some writers I know are damn devils
For them I say don't believe the hype
Yo Chuck, they must be on a pipe, right?
Their pens and pads I'll snatch
'Cause I've had it
I'm not an addict fiendin' for static
I'll see their tape recoreder and grab it
No, you can't have it back silly rabbit
I'm going' to my media assassin
Harry Allen, I gotta ask him
Yo Harry, you're a writer, are we that type?
Don't believe the hype
I got flavor and all those things you know
Yeah boy, part two bum rush and show
Yo Griff, get the green black red and
Gold down countdown to Armageddon
-88 you wait the S1Ws will
Rock the hard jams - treat it like a seminar
Teach the bourgeoise, and rock the boulevard
Some sau I'm negative
But they're not positive
But what I got to give...

You want stylin' - you know it's time again
D the enemy - tellin you to hear it
They praised the music - this time they play the lyrics
Some say no to the album, the show
Bum rush the sound I made a year ago
I guess you know - you guess I'm just a radical
Not a sabbatical - yes to make it critical
The only part your body should be parting to
Panther power on the hour from the rebel to you

Snakin' and takin' everything that a brother owns

And then you'll come - you'll know what time it is
Impeach the president - pullin' out the ray-gun
Zap the next one - I could be you're Sho-gun
Suckers - don't last a minute
Soft and smooth - I ain't with it
Hardcore - rawbone like a razor
I'm like a lazer - I just won't graze ya
Old enough to raise ya - so this will faze ya
Get it right boy and maybe I will praise ya
Playin' the role I got soul too
Voice my opinion with volume
Smooth - no what I am
Rough - cause I'm the man
No matter what the name - we're all the same
Pieces in one big chess game
Yeah - the voice of power
Is in the house - go take a shower boy
P.E. a group, a crew - not singular
We were black Wranglers
We're rap stranglers
You can't angle us - I know you're listenin'
I caught you pissin' in you're pants
You're scared of us dissin' us
The crowd is missin' us
We're on a mission boy
Terminator X
Attitude - when I'm on fire
Juice on the loose - electric wire
Simple and plain - give me the lane
I'll throw it down your throat like Barkley
See the car keys - you'll never get these
They belong to the 98 posse
You want some more son - you wanna get some
Rush the door on a store - pick up the album
You know the rhythm, the rhyme plus the beat is designed
So I can enter your mind - Boys
Bring the noise - my time
Step aside for the flex - Terminator X

[Ice-T]
How many bullets can your back hold, suckin from the HK
The red dot's on your dome, from the light ray
Boom bam bust oh shit kid, your head is a pile of puss
I'm kickin up much dust, the nigga ya can't trust
This is my shit, my hood, my turf
My gold, my grip, whatever the fuck it's worth
I don't need nobody comin in my territory
tryin to rip a nigga off and fuck your fuckin sob stories
[Ice Cube]
Take a good look at my motherfuckin jacker
About to feel the wrath, of a greedy ass cracker
Pale as snow, so you know the hoe stand out
Comin in my hood with his hand out
Tryin to get over on the black, but the motherfuckin mack
will put a fuckin slug in his back
And with the boom ping ping, it ain't no thing to blast
on greedy motherfuckers that trespass
Chorus
[Ice Cube]
Olly olly outcome free, here come the G
I'm saggin, and Enter the Dragon like Bruce Lee
I gots to get mo' money mo' money
Can't get pussy with no money
See I'm kind of greedy, cause all my heroes
got zeroes in back of a one
Here's my gun, about to get paid at last
But now I'm gettin covered, in dirt and grass, kick it
[Ice-T]
The madder I get, the higher the debt, the deeper you get
The thicker the sweat
Cause I'm a nigga with fat clout
But ya in, but ya gotta get back out
No easy job, for some suckers is out to rob
Crosshair on your dome and your mind's blown
You wanna go home... ain't that a bitch?
Cube, dig the ditch (yep)
Chorus
[Ice-T]
I got a full time job of takin suckers out
Breakin em off, yea word, I love revokin clout
Test me, stress me, who could the best be?
The teflon nine go through vests G
But when you're greedy you don't care about life itself
You're chasin extreme wealth
You can't be trusted cause trust ain't in the fuckin game
Scandalous is your fuckin name
[Ice Cube]
I'm the motherfucker you're stuck wit
Ice Cube -- "Wronnnnnnng nigga to FUCK WIT!"
I'm rich, pitchin a bitch about gettin mo'
The big fish, swimmin in big dough
The G backstabber, I got ta have a
Lexus Coupe, when I troop
with the ski mask, gotta get the cash
My homeboy ain't home, so fuck it I'll trespass

Verse 1: Ice Cube
I got lyrics that wake up spirits
They told me how to make big hits and spend digits

You fed, you dead, see red

My nigga Lincoln help me navigate
Thru this hate retaliate, it's official
I got that bomb, bomb, diddy, diddy, diddy, bomb, bomb
When I hit you
Push the issue
My ghetto dope is amazin
The bitch that's with you already know that I'm blazin
That's by the number, we can slumber, on the under
Girl no wonder, you got a ass full of thunder
The frozen Tundra ain't cold enough
And baby ain't old enough
For this game I'm rollin up
De-zamn it feels good to be the don
Straight legit, while niggas like Gotti just sit
Chorus: Ice Cube

Verse 2: Ice Cube

No more fuckin with that homegrown
Hit the shit we on

You still fuckin with them faggets
We turn haters into maggets
Oak on the dash, but no coke on the hash
You broke ass niggas learn to mash, like me
Constantly, put the hustle down
With four or five niggas that's musclebound
Send your head to the taxidermist
Won't be satisfied, till I get my face on a thermos
You got to earn this, you can't take it
Can't fake it, got to live it, or we gots to visit
Who is it, the exquisite, Don Mega
Walkin with my entourage, I think I'm betta, makin chedda
You see me sag in my Jag, with the rag recognize the flag
You betta get back, everybody wanna do it like me
I got it made, been makin rap money since the tenth grade

Verse 3: Mr. Short Khop
I keeps a firm grip on my shit when in transit
Uncandid, it's the young bandit
Fresh out the trenches, the wood works
City of the ?Tempeon?, where the hoods lurk
In search of the rich blocks, to lick spots, and kick rocks
>From shattered glass, down the pig locks
Want tips by the clock
You niggas scramblin for fouyan
And settle for crumbs and croutans
I'm out for armored bucks and armored trucks, with armed killas
Bitch niggas get swallowed by the armadillos
Ain't no harmin me, the army full honary niggas you can't see
So while you pace bitches and saturns livin jenky
I hangs with niggas who got patterns on they hankey
After Ben Frankeys, with the big skullen eyes
You niggas bound and nullified
Sit back and mine stack it multiply

So much cheese, you got to weigh it
Never thought these niggaz was the feds
"Freeze" was the sound
I started lettin' off rounds,
lay the whole fuckin' room down
I don't wanna see Your Honor,
Ratha eat pirhana from Benny Hana,
Smokin' marijuana in my sauna,
I done hade it with these attics and faggots,

And them niggaz that's wit' you,

If I decide to kiss you.

Through yo' muthafuckin' home like a comb
and find the money that's gone
And we'll take you, shake you,
break you, take two,

nigga shoot!
Execute, they try to electrocute
I got too much loot
Ya say I'm on yo' hit list,
You niggaz miss,
tryin' to turn my muthafuckin' cheese into Swiss
Rappers make bucks and I can hear it,
hard to fear it,
'Cuz I know you grew up on my lyrics
It's the boss player,
never lost hair over assholes,
blast holes in you muthafuckin' tadpoles
Like a bullfrog,

guppies get worked like puppies by the bulldog
Where millions never gave a fuck about Sicilians,

So check yo' muthafuckin CD-Rom

Here we go with mo' drama in the projects
Wait a minute, who is this motherfucker?
You better take his ass in the back, and start talkin
Nick that bud 'fore it bloom, and start stalkin
I can hear you guys yellin *glass breaks* a little strugglin
Youse a FOOL if you think that I'm jumpin in
That nigga jet, smokin on a ciggarette
You say domestic shit, get you soakin wet?
Well come widdit and get it, blow my socks
while I'm drinkin all the Kool-Aid, watchin Jamie Foxx
I'm hearin mo' knocks *knock knock knock*
(Oh, that's just my people
They came all the way to the projects to meet you) Who?
This fool wearin black, his girl, in the see through
Distraction, a little action, *fight ensues* I woke up
Tied up like (What happened? Punk you shoulda stuck to rappin
Niggaz tell me you got a house full of platinum..
Where the platinum at motherfucker?
I hear that shit worth more than gold!)
Wait a minute motherfucker, this my house!
Once upon a time in the projects (3X)
Once upon a time, once upon a time
I'm like baffled, they got me gaffled, with the duct tape
So I remain raw, in come this chainsaw *knock knock knock*
Another knock, it's the girl from two-ten
here to drop salt, that's when them bitches fought
I thought, "I bet-ta plan my escape"
In the midst of this commotion, Ice Cube is breakin tape
I'm free, bombin on the first thing I see
And guess who walk in, with a nine, and a grin
It's the baby daddy he ain't playin, *gunshots*
He started layin everybody down, about face with a frown
I'm runnin to the bedroom, I lock the do'
and grab the phone, the bitch phone ain't turned on
I think I'm gone, that's when I hear a soft knock
It's the girl from two-ten, with her number, and a glock
Said, "Call me up, if it's for sex, or chin check
Nigga get you a real ass bitch from the projects!"
And I just might do that

to see a Dougie Fresh Show with Rickie G and Red Alert was puttin'
in work, and Chuck Chill had my homies on the hill gettin' ill, when
shit was real. Well I can still remember Raw with Daddy Cain,
when De La Soul was puttin' potholes in the game. I can't explain
how it was, Whodini had me puffin' on dat buddha gettin' buzzed,
cuz there I was Them block parties in da projects and on my block
and tic ya don't stop ya sippin' on dat private stock. And through my

Stetsasonic, remember when Push it was da bomb shit,
Ain't nothin' like da old school...

I had Shell toes and BVD's, a killa preaca shot my lees when I hit da

my homies in my hood learned ta smack a bitch. I remember, way back

headin' uptown freestylin' with some wild kids from Bucktown, Profilin'
cuz da hoochies were starin', checkin' what a niggaz wearin' I'm

childhood wild as a juvenile a young nigga tryin' ta stay away from
Riker's Isle, Me and my homies breakin' ice tryin' ta keep it true out
on da roof sippin' 90 proof,
Ain't nothin' like da old school...

Remember Poppin and Lockin with Curtis Blow, the Daybelts, and
Skat la, Rock da super hole back in latin corners. When Slick Rick was

I remember breakdancin' to Mel E Mel, Jeckyl and Hyde, L.L. when he

Artist:Artifacts
Song: The Ultimate
Album:That's Them
(uh, yeah... who we be) hah
The one's two's (we be the next man, to get wreck and)
to the three's, to the four's, to the five's, uhh
Intro/Chorus:
You know the time when we rock the spot
Artifacts, New Jeruz, catch wreck and get the props
You know the time when we rock the shit
Tame One and MC El we be the ultimate
Verse One: El Da Sensai, Tame One
We bring forth the swords in rap sports
Niggaz play the bench for us, overtime if niggaz wanna shine
Divine with the intricate shit, who wanna bring it
to the table able now it's stable on the disc
The Heineken bottle catcher, drops ya, slasher
Dat's the the bastard with the fastest ass capture
No moonwalk, my tune's talk all by they fuckin lonely
Phone me home I'm in the middle like I'm Monie (E.T.)
Love to do dubs on deck without a mic check
Collect no checks (huh) but catch wreck on sets
(Deuce deuce nigga! What? L.O.D. too)
Deuce deuce is loose PPP represent see
Def Squad, Boom Skwad, and Artifacts make three
like Dennis Scott droppin one for the wisdom
Cause when I gets em, I'll be fuckin up they system
or temperature cheer when I appear from the mist
priceless, ice-diss and never see another Christmas
You play Risk when you dealin with the New Jeruz two blitz
Without the use of two clips, niggaz styles still be fluid (still)
The cat, darer with the terror off hands (hah!)
Without bands we rock spots in all lands (all lands)
Nigs be playin and we stand for the susbtance
subject's the basement, MC's be patient
Cause all that Russian/rushin save that shit for the dressing
(Word up) BS we stand strong wack niggaz we addressin
Chorus: repeat 2X
Verse Two: Tame One
Test me, the best be, checkin for my recipes (mmm)
Mess with me and I'll be drainin all your fuckin energy (boo-yaa!)
Galactic tactics match wits I'm from the Bricks (yeah nigga)
I used to catch a switch from any walk-by bitch (bitch!)
But now I'm to the break like disc jocks, dis rock is hot
got props and plus bust shots for what I got (booyaka booyaka)
Don't sniff shit but snot hops, you better watch your snotbox
I'll diss you, then I'll clear the air like Scott tissue
The issue got a barcode on funkmode
So now I pack a trunkload of skunk, for the underground chumps
(Hoo-wee!) Cause I bumps in any system, who dissed em?
Watch me back them up from all the way from New Jeru
to Manhattan (Manhattan) satin and silk, kill the best built
I guess the milk was no good, so now I'm classified a true hood
Check this nigga, live on Kodak tits
or bust a pimp, cause I'm not a boogaloo shrimp
Tame One the Jesus and the Judas
Cause when I hit the buddhas, my problem's manifest is deep-rooted
(yeah, that's it, wordup)
Chorus: repeat 2X
Verse Three: El Da Sensai
MC, universal no rehearsal on tap with rap so
magnificent sufficient all that tall facts
from the six footer, in slang I be the gooder, goodest
Best put to rest acts that's less
Sub-regular wreckster, prefer tracks to measure
Size up, MC's that need to wise up, fuckin they lives up
Urban survivalist, live with this, closed style (whassup)
tribalist, that gets, all up in your shit (That's Them, huh)
(Yeah, all up in your shit)
For all reasons, number one you're sleepin
Speakin like a deacon catch the drops my props leakin
(Praise the Lord) Seekin on the deep end, sinkin while I'm thinkin
of ways, to slay my competition without blinkin (hah!)
The ink's on the sheet with rhymes that are unique
complete batter, astoundin feats yo it don't matter
(Don't matter) Capi-talize, while I'm, categorized
The G-L to the Tame to the O-N-E
Chorus: repeat 4X

Niste ranije čuli za ovaj album i ovu pesmu? Nije ni čudo,
u pitanju je prvi singl sa najnovijeg albuma najbolje Rap
(a i šire ;) grupe svih vremena. Album se pojavljuje u prodaji,
u Americi, 21. juna, a moguće ga je naručiti i preko interneta.
Inače, ova pesma me prilično podseća na What You Need Is Jesus
sa He Got Game soundtracka, ali joj to ne smeta da bude prilično
dobra. Valjda će album biti još bolji. :)

Dobro, postujem tvoje misljenje ali mi se cini da je to 'najbolje'
presirok pojam za PE. Ono, morao bi prvo to da definises,
dal' je to grupa koju najvise volis, ili je to mozda najslusanija,
ili najkomercijalnija ili surprotno, najneprodanija grupa, itd...
Ono, imas pravo da kazes to, k'o ja sto imam pravu da kazem

Ne znam zasto neki ljudi mrze 2paca, ali sve vise slusajuci

glavni razlog zbog chega je tupac pljuvao po biggy-ju...
i jedan od razloga zbog chega totalno ne gotivim biggy-jevu
ekipu (Junior M.A.F.I.A.)... a ako je neko imao prilike da
odslusha 2pac-ov poslednji disk (nije album vec snimak posle-
dnjeg 2pac-ovog nastupa u radio emisiji) znace tachno o chemu
se zapravo radi... 2pac je dao gomilu dokaza i primera gde su

Ne treba da ih gotivis, al' recimo poslusaj malo i drugu stranu
price, ono, poslusaj recimo biggiev odgovor 'life after death',
na 2pacov all eyez on me....
Ono, mozda malo subjektivno, ali domaci koji je 2pac postavio
sa duplim 'all eyez on me' albumom, biggie je sa svojim 'life
after death' definitivno odgovorio, mozda ga cak i prevazisao...
Pogotovo, volume 1, malo neiskren, ono, biggie ipak nije bio
krimi lik kakav je bio 2pac, al' vrlo dobro uradjen...

Gang Starr has dropped a two CD retrospective appropriately titled
'Full Clip: A Decade of Gang Starr.'
"Chock full of the visionary soundscapes that have made the duo legends

Lil Kim fans watch out because the Queen B is finishing up her new
album. There is no title to it, but it will feature folks like Puff
Daddy [of course] and singer Grace Jones. It should drop in October.
Also in the works is The Notorious BIG tribute album 'Born Again'
which will feature unreleased tracks and remakes of some of his songs.
Featured artist include Mary J Blige, Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes and Will
Smith. Viola Wallace, BIG's mom will offer narration. I'm surprised

and drop some tracks with Slick Rick, Biz Markie, Sauce and old partner
Jazzy Jeff. Personally I would like to see Mr Smith hook up with Young

clocking 20 million dollars for his role as Muhammed Ali in an upcoming
movie based on the boxing champ.

DR DRE TUZI 'DEATH ROW RECORDS'
Dr. Dre is back in the news-this time for filing a lawsuit against
Priority Records and Death Row Records. Dre alleges that the recent
Priority-distributed Death Row album "The Chronic 2000" infringes on
a trademark held by Dre. As we all know Dre really made his mark in
hip hop when he dropped the classic '92 lp "The Chronic". He also
announced earlier this year that he was going to be releasing 'The
Chronic 2000' on his own Aftermath Record label. Shortly afterwards
Death Row announced that they would do the same. Dre is now seeking a
court injunction against the use of the 'Chronic' trademark. He also
wants profits from any products that utilizing the trademark. [mmm I
wonder if he's gonna come after Cypress Hill]. There has been no
comment from Priority or Death Row Records.

DMC NAPISAO KNJIGU...
Darryl McDaniels aka DMC of Run DMC is getting set to drop a book on

role model and the truth about image. DMC says he wants to provide some
sort of alternative means of instruction to help counter all the high
tech drugs, sex and rock-n-roll that is being thrust in front of the
face of our youth. He also noted that he wanted to do some thing that
didn't come across as too preachy. For the past couple of years DMC has
been touring the college lecture circuit where he drops bombs about
respect, responsibility and role models in today's society. The book
is planned for release in mid-2000, while Run-DMC's new album, "Crown
Royal," is now due on September 28.

NEKO ZARADJUJE NA NASOV RACUN...
Bad news for Nas Escobar as he has been the victim of a couple of recent
scams. In Gainsville, Florida a concert purported to be featuring Nas
was advertised on a local radio station. More then 200 tickets were
purchased before it was brought to light that the whole thing was a scam.
The faulty promoters bear the name Duck Down Entertainment which made
things believable for a couple reasons. The primary one being that Duck
Down is also a the name of a record label that is home to popular
underground groups like Heltah Skeltha and that entire Boot Camp Clic.
Gainsville police are looking into the business practices of Duck Down
Entertainment. Lets hope that the real Duck Down doesn't catch any heat
because of this scam.
The other thing affecting Nas is the fact that his yet to be released
album Nastradamus is being bootlegged. I got a copy a couple of weeks ago.
Nastardamus can be found on the internet and in certain record stores
where folks have gone so far as to press up vinyl copies.

PE definitely deserves their props for embracing the Internet. Their new
album 'There's Poison Going On In Here' is by far one of the best PE
albums I've heard in a long time. It reminds me of the PE from the
'Fight The Power Days'. We're talking funky head boppin' beats and
scorching lyrics. Chuck D has without a doubt stepped up his rhyme skills
in a major way. Last night when I played this before my show, heads who
are deep into lyrics were really digging Chuck's rhyme styles and more
importantly his lyrics. This is no hype, the lp is well worth the
purchase.
Since dropping their lp on the net at http://www.atomicpop.com, they've

IZAZIVA LI HIP-HOP MUZIKA NASILJE...?
Stop Blaming Hip Hop
By Davey D
As we get ready to head on into the 21st century, it's important that
we clarify any misconceptions one may have of the great American art
form we affectionately call Hip Hop. First things first-Hip Hop does
not cause violence. Let me do my George Bush imitation. Read my lips
and repeat after me- 'Hip Hop does not cause violence! One more time
folks-say it loud like you mean it- Hip Hop does not cause violence.
There's some of you out there reading this who will have a hard time
doing this after all for a long time we've had the misinformed and
malcontent running around stating the exact opposite. 'Hip Hop causes
violence'. That was rapidly becoming the American mantra. Hip Hop has
been everyone's convenient scapegoat. Everyone from former Senator
and Presidential candidate Bob Dole to former Education Secretary
William Bennett has blamed Hip Hop for staining the moral fabric of
our society and corrupting our youth.

CHARLI BALTIMORE - Cold As Ice -- Untertainment/Epic Records
Ocena: 7.2
Production: Terrance "TL" Lovelace, RZA, Chad Elliot, DJ Premier, Quran
Goodman, T-Mix, Teddy Riley, Fabian Hamilton, Havoc, Darrell
"Digga" Branch, John Forte
Guests Featured: Cam'ron, Tony Dutch & Ace Spade, Ghostface Killah,
Eightball, Rage, Gangsta Boo, Queen Pen, Da Brat,
Scarlet, Mobb Deep, Noreaga, Brotha, Billy Lawrence,
Rodney Ellis, Jeni Fujita, Miss Jones
The whole time she's been in the game Charli Baltimore has had to
prove that she had skills. First getting into the game through Biggie
being his lady, she hooked up with Lance "Un" Rivera and got on his
Untertainment label after Big passed away. After debuting on the "Woo"
soundtracks' "Money," the song had a sampled beat, ultra-commercial vibe,
and ghostwritten lyrics. Through that Charli hasn't fared too well with
the rap critics, myself included. Trying to make her way out of the frame
of "just another female rapper" sounding like Foxy Brown or Lil' Kim,
Charli Baltimore impresses with Cold As Ice. She proves to heads who
doubted her skills that she can come on point. While the album had it's
faults, Charli B-more showed and proved with her debut.
Charli Baltimore came better than expected on many of Cold As Ice's
tracks. Instead of making radio commercial records that many expected,
the album featured lots of songs with harder beats. Charli keeps up
with Ghostface Killah's fast-paced banter over ill RZA production on
"Stand Up." DJ Premier provides the music for "Everybody Wanna Know"
which came out alright and Charli spits ferocious rhymes on the
impressive "Angel's Dust." Cold As Ice has mad guest appearances from
other artists but she manages to control most tracks. Charli stands
beside Prodigy and Havoc and their dark sounds of Mobb Deep on
"Infamous." "Keep It Real" with Cam'ron is only alright, while the
pimptastic sounds of Mo Suave-A beats on "Pimp Da One U Love" with
Eightball and "Motherfuckas Don't Want It" with new Untertainment
talent Dutch and Spade do not really impress. She makes up for it with
a big rough all-female posse cut, "Thorough Sisters," featuring fully
loaded verses from Charli, Lady of Rage, Gangsta Boo, Queen Pen, Scarlet
and Da Brat over a beat led by a BIG vocal sample. Aside from the hard
tracks, Charli shows a more emotional side on "Have It All," where she
tells the losses of her father, Biggie, and her baby's father. While
the John Forte-produced beat needed work, Charli sounded sincere. She
tells off non-believers and player haters on "They," one of the albums
better cuts.
While the album surprised me with unexpected praise, that's not to say
Charli Baltimore's debut comes without complaints. The Teddy Riley-
produced first single, "Feel It," is a Jackson 5 inspired attempt at
radio play, but falls straight to the floor. Also one of the worst
posse cuts, "NBC," previously availible on last years "Rush Hour"
soundtrack, somehow ended up on the final version of the album as
well. "30 Miles From Baltimore" and "Making Love," a wild sex/love
song, can be passed up as well. Another complaint is the albums
inconsistentsy with the beats, since Digga seems to be the only
producer to return for many songs. While Charli Baltimore isn't
the greatest talent, she has more skills than she is credited for
and is a better lyricist than Foxy Brown and other females that are
large right now. She proves to the world she can get down on Cold As
Ice and showed me that there was more to meets the eye to Charli
Baltimore.

THE ROOTS - The Legendary (EP) -- MCA Records
Ocena: 7.0
Production: The Grand Wizards (The Roots)
Guests Featured: none
Release Date: July 20, 1999
It was about five months ago when The Roots hit us off with their
blazing hot fourth full-length album, Things Fall Apart. That very hot
album was The Roots biggest commercial success as well as one of the best
albums to hit thus far in the 9-9. While Roots fans are still happy about
that album and pumping it in stereos, with little hesitation the Philly
crew laces the world with a new 5-song EP. While this should barely feed
a Roots fans appetite, The Legendary should hold a fans attention until
late fall of this year when their live album, Things Come Alive, is
released.
This EP sounds like a compilation of Things Fall Apart throw-aways and
live songs from a show (one in Switzerland I believe, but I could be
wrong). The intro is just a mix of Do You Want More tracks, which is good
since it's gets you in The Roots mood. From then on it continues with
various songs thrown here in there. The best song on here is "The
Ultimate." This jazzy little joint is taped live from a show and features
an energetic Black Thought catching wreck with along with rowdy crowd
participation. You can really feel the energy from The Roots which has
gotten them claims as one of the best live shows around. While that is
the hottest cut around, "Table Of Contents Part 3," the third installment
of the introduction cuts to Things Fall Apart is okay, but not great.
Basic Roots, and proves that part 1 is the best of the series. What has
became a Roots project tradition is the "beatboxing over ?uest's drums"
tracks. "The Battle ?uestacula" has Scratch freaking some ill beatboxing.
The album ends with a live version of "The Next Movement." While an ill
joint indeed, and it sounds even better live, we have already heard it
before.
While The Legendary does come out nice, it really lacks not enough new
material to become a must-have. While the live songs will give you a
taste of what to expect on the live album (and made me really want to
check out Roots show), we've already heard sounds like a lot of this
music. This is only an EP however, so we cannot expect too much. As a
bonus, it also features video enhancements for the computer, which are
the music videos for "You Got Me," "The Next Movement" and "What They
Do" (one of my favorite videos). That and the fact that this only cost
about $7 make The Legendary something that you Roots fans should pick
up if you got some extra cash. People just getting into The Roots however
can pass on this and pick up any of their four other full-lengths.

EPMD - Out Of Business -- Def Jam Records
Ocena: 7.6
Production: Erick Sermon, Parrish Smith, DJ Scratch
Guests Featured: MOP, Busta Rhymes, Redman, Method Man, 8 Off Agallah,
215
Release Date: July 20, 1999
It's been over a decade since EPMD first hit the rap world off with
Strictly Business. Since then they've gave the world four other albums
and even broke up, but last year officially reunited with 1998's Back
In Business. Now it's '99 and EPMD are releasing what sounds like their
last album as a group (that's only rumors, as it's titled Out Of Business
because it's the final album of the millenium). Instead of changing up
their style, EPMD have followed the same basic formula for years. It's
always worked and has changed slightly with the times but Erick and
Parrish still kick tag team raps over funky-ass beats. Why ditch the
formula that's made them one of the best, most consistent and most
successful rap duos of all time?
The album starts up with a DJ Scratch produced intro, the only song on
the album not produced by either Erick or Parrish. The intro gets you
hyped for the album with it's live beat sampling the Rocky theme
(ala "Victory" by Big and Puff) and features some good verses. From
then on the album is full of funky jams. The E-Dub production on
tracks like "Hold Me Down" remind you of production he's done for
Def Squad. Funky cuts like "Right Now" and "Pioneers" are easy to
bump but are kind of light on lyrical content. Still, EPMD as a group
have good lyrical skill and their flows mesh together nicely so they
can flip the mic back and forth. The PMD beats don't seem to fare as
well as E-Dubble's as "Check 1,2" is kind of generic, "House Party"
really doesn't excite, and "Jane 6" is kinda weak and it seems they
only keep the series around because it's the classic EPMD way. Parrish
scores a hit with "Rap Is Still Outta Control" laying down decent
production on one of the few tracks that has a theme on the album.
Collaborations are also on point on Out Of Business. Instead of
letting everyone and their mother on songs, they limit the cameos and
when they do they come out well. "U Got Shot" features Hit Squad
cats 8 Off Agallah and 215 and has a quick mic toss session sound
led by an Ol' Dirty Bastard vocal sample from "Brooklyn Zoo." And
both versions of "The Symphony" are nice. "Symphony" will satisfy
fans of the rowdy-ass MOP (my personal favorite) while "Symphony
2000" features Redman, Method Man and newcomer Lady Luck. While
both versions are tight, Erick and Parrish use the same beat and
the same lyrics for both versions.
Despite a couple complaints, this album is what you'd expect from
the two that have been putting it down for years. Nothing
revolutionary but they don't really have anything to prove, and the
album is consistent. This should whet the appetite of any EPMD fan.
Pick it up early and get the bonus greatest hits disc, which is
better than the new album with all their older joints. Expect
Erick and Parrish to be making more dollars in the new millenium
as well.

PUBLIC ENEMY - There's A Poison Goin' On -- Atomic Pop
Ocena: 7.5
Production: DTom E. Hawk, Flava Flav
Guests Featured: none
Release Date: May 19 on MP3
Most of you probably already know the story behind this album but I
am going to tell it anyway. A few months ago, Public Enemy posted
some MP3s on their site. When their label (Def Jam) asked the to
remove them, they refused. Not that long ago they announced that
there next album would be distributed exclusively by atomicpop.com,
where you can download it on MP3s for $8 or get an actual CD for
$10. It will hit stores next month.
The highlight of the album, like any Public Enemy album, is the
lyrics. They talk about a world where we are controlled like robots
by corporations who own our souls. Chuck D ties it into hip-hop by
saying that most artists are completely controlled by their labels
(that's why they make so much whack shit) and the people who buy
albums are robots too (that's why they buy so much whack shit). He
criticizes these artists by saying things like "What's rap got to
do with what you got?" and "I'm the opposite of Jiggy." As always
Chuck's lyrics are on point.
The beats are another story. They are crazy and all over the place,
which fits with the apocalyptic theme at first but after a while
starts to dig into your ear. The production finally slows down,
and gets where it should be, around track seven.
The other problem is that this album lacks diversity. All the
tracks are Chuck D spitting angry ass lyrics about the same theme.
Two tracks that stand out are "Crayola" and "I." In "Crayola" he
explains that radio stations play such whack music because they
are paid by labels. The chorus goes "Crayola, with that same,
same old shit/Crayola with that played playa shit." In "I" he
tells the disturbing story of a black homeless man. Flava Flav
also produces his solo cut "What What" which is exactly what one
would expect from Flava, a crazy ass song that is not half as
creative as he thinks it is.

together in a tasty Beat Junkies mixed package.
Fans of the underground scene of New York will no doubt dig a lot
of this but this features such a wide mix of different shit it can
also turn on new heads looking for something different to a lot of
these artists. Highlights of Soundbombing II's tracks include the
Native Tongue-esque feel of "7XL," a Sir Menelik cut featuring
Brand Nubian reps Sadat X and Grand Puba, who drops a very tight
verse. "WWIII" is a collab between Organized Konfusion's (and
Rawkus Records solo artist) Pharoahe Monch and Shabaam Sahdeeq.
The results are a wild jam that is pretty hot. Other stuff I was
feeling was the hype Mos Def "Next Universe" and the calm Reflection
Eternal cut, where a cool Hi-Tek beat has Talib Kweli and Bahamadia
ride it. Not very hype but still nice. Also the choppy, robotic
sounding "Patriotism," based on the US of A, by Company Flow is
cool, though some might find the odd beat kinda wack. While the
good stuff does come a lot, the album does come with flaws. The
inclusion of "Crosstown Beef" from Medina Green was nice but the
song came out last year and I'd rather hear a new Medina Green
song. And what's with the badly sung hook which ruins the feel
of Pharoah's "Mayor" and why stop Thirstin Howl's "Brooklyn Hard
Rock" just as it was heating up.
Overall this is a nice mix of music and not as ill as it could have
been but I'm still checkin' for it hard. While Eminem surprisingly
only came average on the Beatminerz-laced "Any Man", and other good
but not great songs are on the album, there are really no wack cuts
on the album and chose a good way to represent "Soundbombing," as
Dilated Peoples and Tash of the Liks prove on their cut of the same
name. One complaint is the lack of J-Rocc and Babu getting real
busy on the scratching. They scratch at times but why get the
illest DJ's if they aren't gonna go nuts on the 1 and 2's? Fans of
these artists featured on here can't pass this up, people who aren't
really into them but want something dope should still listen to this.
Soundbombing II is hot shit.

Mixed by: DJ Revolution
Release Date: June 15
Sway and King Tech from The Wake Up Show have formed to combine some of
rap's hardest hitting and phatest artists to appear on their mixtape This
Or That. They have gathered so many well known artists and also some
underground shit so it reaches all sorts of fans but still remains dope.
This compliation also features exclusives and freestyles, along with
songs that have already been released but are either shortened or remixed.
It starts off with 4 skits that just say how bullshit hip hop and shiny
suits controll the industry and the hardworking dope cats aren't where
they are suppose to be. Then it leads into it's first song, "The Anthem",
also it's first single, featuring RZA, Tech N9NE, Eminem, Xzibit, Pharoahe
Monch, Kool G Rap, Jayo Felony, Chino Xl and KRS-One. Although this song
is packed with MAD amounts of people, their verses aren't their dopest
and are pretty short, plus I would have liked to see a new RZA verse
instead of his verse from Bobby Digital's "Airwaves". Either way, it's
still dope. Other highlights off This or That are "Underground Tatics",
a nice cuts with Heltah Skeltah droppin some nice rhymes, the remix of
"They Reminisce Over You", the new Rakim cut "I Know You Got Soul",
"3 To The Dome" an excellent cut featuring Big Daddy Kane, Chino XL
and Kool G Rap, who steals the show with lyrics like "The Godfather
saga/hit you dead in the chest like shots of Vodka/Funer-als crowded!
like soccer while I'm watchin opera/Last like Sinatra, blast like
Binaca/Binoculars is how I'm watchin droppin from the chopper".
Some other joints I was feelin was The Canibus freestyle and remix,
both great lyrically, "NY NIGGAZ" where Guru spits about life in the
streets and what a sturggle it is to survive and it actually makes
you feel like your there when you hear it, and "1.9.8.6 REMIX"
featuring Advised & Rasheed along with Malik B and Black Thought,
who both come nice. Although this mixtape is dope, it is not perfect
and does have some flaws.
There are no bad cuts on this album but the production from King Tech
can range from dope to alright to not that good. On cuts like "Get You
Mad" by Slim Shady himself Eminem, the beat is kinda all over and it
kinda ruined the feel of the song but still came out ok. Plus, the
freestyle with Redman was just previously spit lyrics and I would have
rather seen him rhyme some new lyrics with Def Squad. The flaws though
are small and make this album worth buying. Compare this album to
"Soundbombing II" and it is as good lyrically but the production sets
that up as the better one. Plus, the songs on there are full length
and Sway and Tech only have a few cuts that are longer then 3 minutes.
Still, this album is worth getting. Pick it up if you want some REAL
hip hop and dope shit to listen to. This Or That lived up to my
expectations and even more. So check it out. You won't be dissapointed.

SPAJANJE LOUDA I RELATIVITY RECORDSA
Loud Records and Relativity Records have officially merged together.
The two big labels have come together as a result of Loud leaving it's
distribution from BMG and now being with Sony. The new Loud with the
addition of Relativity will be distributed in the US by RED and
internationally by Sony Music. Since the merger, the next albums to
watch out for are Mobb Deep's Murda Muzik slated for August 17, the
Beatnuts' Musical Massacre which has an August 31 date and Inspectah
Deck's long-awaited solo album, Uncontrolled Substance, on September 14.
The new roster between Relativity and Loud should have a good amount of
talent and could give Loud more credibility in the south. Relativity
brings the Beatnuts, all Bone Thugs-n-Harmony solo albums, Three 6
Mafia and its solos, Tear Da Club Up Thugs, and MOP among others.
Loud's already very talented roster includes Tha Alkaholiks, Raekwon,

VARIOUS ARTISTS LYRICIST LOUNGE, VOLUME 1 -- Rawkus records
Reviewed by Platform Partner ONE LOVE MAGAZINE
What do you get when you cross some of Hip Hop's greatest undergroung MC's
with the raw talent of up and coming mic wreckas and fiery tongues of the
spoken word magician? No, not the U.S. Government, but one of the best
Hip Hop compilations to evr hit this side of the border. This is true
Hip Hop in every sense of the word. Praise due to the producers of this
joint (who are unfortunately not named) for lacing these tracks with
some truly hypnotic next shit. Some of the standouts on disc one are
'Bring Hip Hop Back' by Cipher Complete, the acid tongue, spoken word
groove of 'Blood' by Sarah Jones, the commercially released first
single, 'Body Rock,' with Mos Def featuring Q-Tip and Tash, 'Da Cipher'
by Punch & Words, and 'Action Guaranteed' with O. C. and Ras Kass. The
production on this particular track reminds me of when Dionne Warwick
was trying to find her way to San Jose. On disc two, these joints just
had me all over the place on an emotional level. I didn't know if I
should pull out the church fan, shed a tear or nod my head like the
rest of the cats for fear of eternal damnation. You can't help but nod
your head to the spoken word cut 'Ohm' by Saul (Soul) Williams (the
humming intro alone had me purring like a kitten), or 'Mayday' by
Natural Elements and 'Holy Water' by D. V. alias Krist (this is Hip
Hop's negro spiritual). Again, Lyricist Lounge is tight on production
and on the lyrical tip. Let's make this one go platinum.

BLACK STAR - Mos Def and Talib Kweli are Black Star -- Rawkus Records
The years since the turn of the decade have seen rap morph from the
Afrocentric positivity of the Native Tongues to the blatant nihilism
of the gangster era, culminating in the murders of Tupac Shakur and
Christopher "Notorious BIG" Wallace-- events that have inadvertently
given rise to the well-masked self-loathing of the Jiggy Age and its
thug revisionist ambassadors.
Mos Def and Talib Kweli are not these men. Mos Def and Talib Kweli
are Black Star, named with a nod to Marcus Garvey and the idea of
salvation. Their target, though, is a rap music that seems to
cannibalize itself and its future. The chorus to "Definition," the
duo's first single, proclaims with disappointment, "It's kinda
dangerous to be an MC/They shot Tupac and Biggie-- too much violence
in hip-hop," over a revised BDP hook. In a time that's more concerned
with iced-down medallions than beaded ones, Black Star-- self-dubbed
"real-life documentarians"-- are pushing back, effecting a return to
the consciousness of the early '90s through a renewed commitment to
introspective and creative lyricism.
Unlike much of contemporary hip-hop, Mos Def and Talib Kweli are
Black Star requires a contemplative listen, away from the dancefloor.
Mixing the tools of jazz and spoken-word into their formula, they up
the ante for the wannabe rap philosophers whose fraud is exposed in
the face of true prophecy. Occasionally, the power of Black Star's
prose is undermined by the erratic perambulations of their
production-- jazz asceticism devolves into hollow, unmoving beats.
On the whole, though, the words of Black Star shine through,
whether its on the jacking-for-beats reworking of "Children's Story,"
the trash-talking "Hater Players," or the boisterous posse cut
"Twice Inna Lifetime." Like Rawkus counterparts Company Flow did
last year, Black Star come to the battlefield armed with a manifesto
of skills, not one hastily scribbled in the corners of $100 bills.
On "Respiration," Kweli challenges those who floss, "saying you
got pull when the only pull you got is the wool over your eyes."
More than a challenge to phony rappers, it's a wake-up call to
the public: it may be dangerous to be an MC, but it's even more
so to be blind to hip-hop's psychic violence.

DIGITAL UNDERGROUND - Who Got The Gravy?
Shock G, Humpty Hump, Money B, and the stew of Digital Underground
funkateers have recaptured their shockadelic, left-coast-inflected
hip-hop gumbo that, for a decade, was both misunderstood and
influential. While their debut album, Sex Packets, is a classic,
they are still remembered solely for the comedic Top 40 booty sound
of the Humpty Dance. After a couple of misdirected releases, Who Got
The Gravy? finds the crew returning to their ironic sex comedy,
double entendres, and creative liquid fat tracks. And the album is
seasoned with outstanding cameos from a diverse guest list including
legends like Big Pun, KRS, and Biz Markie-- the latter two dropping
their most inspired verses in years. With this unpredictable and
bouncing offering, the Underground slinking out of a middle-age
hip-hop career haze and into the realm of elder statesmen, along
side De La and others. Like Humpty says, "Never trust a big butt
and a smile."

OUTKAST - Aquemini (BMG/Arista/La Face)
Probably the most creatively risky hip-hop album of 1998, Outkast's
third release, Aquemini, is also the year's best. Combining gospel
("Rosa Parks" and "Liberation"), electro ("Synthesizer," with
George Clinton), and psychedelic variations of funk, dub, and jazz,
Aquemini is a snapshot of the Dirty South's musical universe. It's
not without its missteps; "West Savannah", "Mamacita," and the
spoken word fantasy "Spottiottiedopaliscious" are disappointingly
uninspired efforts, and the decision to collaborate with Raekwon
failed to produce the anticipated sparks. Ultimately, though,
Aquemini succeeds in building a vision of a heterogenous "'nother
Black experience". In a sense, Outkast's survival as a unit
depends on proving that the player and poet can coexist in
harmony. Speculations about the group's future in the face of
Dre's recent excursions into Blaxentricity ("Is he in a cult/Is
he on drugs/Is he gay?-- Nigga I'm feeling better than ever,
what's wrong wit you?) fuel the album's state of the union
(confederacy?) addresses, " Return of the G" and "Aquemini."
Look past his fondness for sporting fur vests and bumblebee-
striped knee socks, and you'll see that Dre is trying to tell
us that he's elevated his game beyond the physical sphere.
While a million MCs kick the blunts/cash/hoes game, Dre "would
rather be a comet" talking about "time traveling, rhyme
javelins, somethin' mind unravelin'." Big Boi's no Pras, but
like with Lauryn, Dre's talent is so manifestly out-of-this-world,
it's absurd. For the time being, Outkast has managed to avoid
Fugee-itis, breaking us off a chunk of that Southern good shit.

HELTAH SKELTAH - Magnum Force (Priority)
Lacking the endearing ruffneck Brooklyn boyishness of their first
release, Magnum Force (Priority Records) finds Heltah Skelta in a
sophomore slump. Pervaded by mediocre definitions of thugness and
seasoned with a bit of bucktown stylistics for listenability, the
album sounds at first like it could be hot-- but it turns out to be
repetitive and, in the end, mediocre. Like the Cocoa Brovaz own
sophomore tragedy, Magnum Force points up the ill-effects of the
Duck Down posse's insistance on moving away from the Evil
Dee/Beatminerz militant music fusion of dark beats and bass with
dancehall and roots reggae's militancy, which once inspired the
crew's trademark sound-boy-burial phrasings. Instead, the music
is mostly uninteresting-- the tracks are fairly similar to each
other-- while the rhymes lack the brashness and originality of the
duo's earlier work. Sadly, the highlight of the album is an
unusually ill guest appearance by Method Man-- which made the
absence of appearances by familiar Duck Down brethen Buckshot
and Cocoa Brovaz all the more apparent.
Magnum Force will disappoint all the disciples of that early
Blackmoon reggae-inspired lyricism and riddims. They'll be
praying that the imminent reunion album of Buckshot, Evil D
and 5 Foot Shorty will return, for a new generation, to the
innovative sound that's defined Brooklyn's hip-hop for the
past five years-- a sound that is perhaps being best represented
right now by the mighty Mos Def, and not the crew that first
created it.
On a last note: the gun-toting art work is neither fresh nor
refreshing.

RZA AS BOBBY DIGITAL AND METHOD MAN'S TICAL 2000
First, a little background.
The music industry struggles to redefine itself in the wake of
alternative rock's creative and commercial softness. Both "urban" and
electronic music have been hailed as "the next big thing." After a
year of mediocre hip-hop albums that nonetheless went or approached
platinum, many original disciples were hoping for a commercial release
that could reflect hip-hop's creative potential while still reaching
the masses. Tribe Called Quest fell short artistically and made many
sales on nostalgia. Outkast pooled a respectable national audience
with their fusion of southern fried linguistics with raw hip-hop
future-funk. But one crew was strangely absent from the mix,
apparently left behind after hinting, years before, at the current
upheaval in popular music: the Wu-Tang Clan. After a few disappointing
releases from younger members of the crew, Cappadonna and Killah
Priest, the first RZA solo project arrived around the same time as
Method Man's second album-- both striving to return not only Wu-Tang
but hip-hop itself to the standard of its roots.
Now for the review. Filter out the hype-- the music press eating
up RZA's Bobby Digital fictions; adoring women of all ages showing
up for Method Man's sex-symbol-layered horror show-- and you can
get a true view of both these artists' new albums. While crisply
produced and at times extremely inventive, RZA As Bobby Digital In
Stereo misses the mark it appears to be aiming for: "defining moment
in the history of modern music" and "guiding light of urban music in
the new millenium." On the other hand, the surpisingly raw Tical
2000 Judgement Day comes out of nowhere to deliver a satisfying dose
of elemental yin-and-yang a la Wu-Tang/kung fu-inspired metaphysics.
Incorporating the sonic destruction and groove deconstruction of
RZA under-producers 4th Disciple and Tru Master (and less groomy
cuts by Erik Sermon and the Trackmaster's Poke), Tical 2000 is what
Method Man's first album could have been: gripping, psychotic, at
times sexy, diverse-- a true Wu-Tang record. Highlights include
the infectiously militant minimalism of "Dangerous Grounds"; the
blues-inflected pain and dusted-thug vulnerability of "Break Ups
2 Make Ups" (featuring D'Angelo in a sequel to the world-smash
duet with Mary J. Blige, "You're All I Need To Get By"); and the
pounding, apocalyptic conclusion of "Judgment Day," which subtly
integrates the dark influence of drum-and-bass on American hip-hop.
Though disappointing, RZA As Bobby Digital In Stereo is certainly
worth owning and meditating on. The record has a few intriguing
moments-- like the international love poems in French, Italian,
Spanish, and an African dialect; and the orchestrated symphonics
of RZA's new, non-sample based groove machine. Overall, though,
the album falls short of the high-concept film soundtrack it sells
itself as, and seems somewhat incomplete. The listener is left to
wonder whether, in the end, the non-sample esthetic really can
produce more invigorating sounds than the sample esthetic does.

PRINCE PAUL - A Prince Among Thieves (Tommy Boy)
Sure, it's cliche to declare an album a classic even before its
release-- not too mention wishfully grandiloquent. But such praise
has always been applicable to Prince Paul's music, and A Prince
Among Thieves deserves it as much as the previous work.
Returning from the edge of hip-hop obscurity, which he explored
with his previous solo album, Psychoanalysis, What Is It?, Prince
Paul now rises truly reborn from the ashes of a mid-career crisis.
Placing his commitment to innovation, ironic dark humor, and
experimentation above his own financial health, Paul holds nothing
back. This is hip-(h)opera incorporating cameos by some of the
great faded (Kane, Chubb Rock, Biz, Special Ed, Everlast), the
great new ights (Xzibit, Breez from the Jugganotz as the lead
character Tariq), and the most innovative (Kool Keith, De La,
Sadat). All play a thematic purpose in what becomes this
generation's 3 Feet High And Rising-- an album that draws you
in seductively to its own cinematic claims and narrative.
From the epic tension of a Western soundtrack to hip-hop's
greatest cocktail number, from a funky sermon to a heavy metal
hard rock rant by one of NYPD's finest, this masterpiece is the
strongest concept album in years. It will probably be above many
a head's head, but bolstered by the expertise of Tommy Boy
Records and a long form film, Thieves should undoubtedly be
embraced by many seeking something more from hip-hop then a
collection of unrelated, one-dimensional singles that artists
call albums, in the current corporate mainstreaming of the
hip-hop buzz. Prince Paul's us why albums we once called
LP's-- because each was something you put on and listened
to through to the end. A one-man Pink Floyd of inner city
drama, Paul reunites with his greatest sonic children,
De La Soul, on the album's first single "More Than U
Know"-- and continues to make us wonder why brilliance
can't always be this simple. Unforgettable, indelible,
and essential.
As far as the status of the Prince Among Thieves film: amidst
a slew of rumored hip-hop feature film projects (90% of which
sound deeply trifling), the thought of A Prince Among Thieves
making it that far becomes truly inspiring. Close friend and
collaborator Chris Rock recently acquired the rights to Paul's
feature-length screenplay for the project and he hopes to have
funding established before the end of the year. So pray to the
media gods.

THE ROOTS - Things Fall Apart (MCA)
A new musical reality is becoming evident to most hip-hop listeners:
the artform that we used to call hip-hop is evolving, and sadly, it's
not for the better. For most true fans, the term "rap" seems to
describe most of the fodder that presently inundates the radio
airwaves and video shows. Even in his liner notes, ?uestlove from
the Roots describes a "dangerous pattern" that permeates "Black"
music: he notes that artists "create it, nurture it, elevate it,
then abandon it." Unlike most hip-hop crews, the Roots transcend
this pattern, and even elevate the artform to a new level.
Things Fall Apart is an extraordinary sound voyage that celebrates
the love and history of hip-hop music. Inspired by the Chinua Achebe
novel of the same name, The Roots aim their on-point instrumentation
and dope illadelph grooves at hip-hop heads, while delivering a
lyrical challenge to the rap industry. The album acts as a musical
allegory for the hip-hop nation; like Achebe's novel, which
illustrated the demise of African tribal tradition at the hands
of colonialism, Things Fall Apart acknowledges rap's modern
evolution away from the heritage and history established by
historically Black music forms. But with this new release, the
Roots have given a head bobbin', beat knockin' tribute that puts
the joy back in the game.
From the go, the Roots establish the tight, funky vibes
representative of their past albums and legendary live shows. Let
me tell you, this album has "classic" written all over it. "The
Next Movement," featuring DJ's Cash Money and Jazzy Jeff, has
the body movin', ass shakin' rhythm expected from any Roots
jam session. "Double Trouble" has guest Mos Def trading his
on-point, loopy style with the fierce rhymes of Black Thought,
whose growth into a top-rate MC is evident throughout the entire
album.
Some standout tracks include "Dynamite!", "Act Too (Love of My
Life)", and "Adrenaline!" "Dynamite," produced by Jay Dee from
the Detroit-based Slum Village crew, has the sharp feel that
could easily translate from the dance floor to chillin' at the
crib. ?uestlove's drum beats (which, for the record, are
masterful throughout the album) blend perfectly with a hot jazzy
vibe reminiscent of a sweaty Harlem speakeasy. "Act Too (Love of
My Life)" features Common droppin' verses on his straight-up deep
love for hip-hop (and don't sleep on his pointed criticisms on
players in the rap and media industriesÍ) "Adrenaline!" in my
opinion, is easily the dopest track of the CD. The song captures
the true essence of The Roots past, present, and future.
Listening to the hot beats, funky tempo, and unbelievable flow
from newcomer Bennie Siegal (who, with one freestyle, was signed
on the spot by Jay-Z for Roc-A-Fella), you can imagine yourself
crammed a-hundred-deep in a small-ass nightclub, funky as all
hell but happy to be getting your groove on.
The group keeps with tradition and ends with a piece from Ursula
Rucker, the Philly-based poetess who drops "The Return to
Innocence Lost," an extremely personal account of family loss,
abuse, and spiritual survival. Look out for any future releases
from this woman, she is an extraordinary talent. Overall, this
new release from The Roots is amazing. Giving a nod to past
influences while keeping an eye on the future of hip-hop,
the Roots asked us a while back if we wanted more, and with
Things Fall Apart, they fully delivered.

ROB SWIFT - The Ablist
Turntablism as a source of full-length, home-listening material
is still relatively young. Often, those mind-blowing DJ vinyl
maneuvers-- performed by live, in battles, or on any number of
tablist videos-- don't translate well into an album. In fact,
without the visual stimulation of turntablist antics-- chopping
up beats, rhyming, forging musical hooks hibachi-style, using one
part attitude and two partss showmanship-- turntablist albums can
seem abrasive and chaotic, abstract and one-dimensional.
While 1998 was a year that did see a great deal of progress in
the turntablist album, with innovative releases from Q-bert,
Mix Master Mike, Future Primitive, and the new Om Records
compilation Deeper Concentration, few releases have truly
reflected the progress of the dirty, urban, street-soul sound.
But check out The Ablist, the new, second album from soul-child
Rob Swift, of the east coast's finest turntable consortium,
the X-ecutioners. Swift takes turntablism into new realms of
musicality and orchestration, by balancing his incredible
beat-juggling acumen with four enticing elements: live
intstrumentation, some excellent guest MC collaborations,
ironic and humorous soundbites, and a keen sense for sample
production based heavily on nuggets of jazz-funk, classical
and soul.
The result is perhaps the most accommodating and diverse
turntable album to date. With performances by NY hip-hop
band Dujeous?, the ever-seducing lyrical metaphysic Pharoah
Monch, and Dan The Automator (of Dr. Octagon fame), The
Ablist goes down thick like a double-bass and warm like
summer barbeque. Flute loops, some George Benson guitar
breezes, and a cocktail of memorable verses fuse smoothly
with Swift's manual rhythmic tactics, orchestration, and
sophisticated sense of sound and humor. The highlight is
the new single, "All That Skratching Is Making Me Rich,"
in which Rob squares off in a funk freestyle with the
free instrumental groove of NYC's own, Dujeous?.
Except for the unnecessary second acapella prison
freestyle, The Ablist is a stunningly complete and moving
album, at once recalling the wholesome fun and funk of
hip-hop in early '90s New York summer jams and looking
forward to yet undiscovered sonic realms.

POOH MAN UHAPSEN ZBOG PLJACKE BANKE
A few years ago MC Pooh Man embarked on what appeared to be
a promising career within Hip Hop. His 3 albums including
the cult classic 'Life Of A Criminal' contained a number
of underground street hits as Pooh Man garnered a
substantial following. His big break for national stardom
came when he was featured on the sound track to the
movie 'Juice'. He quickly followed that accomplishment by
appearing in the movie 'Menace II Society'. Then suddenly
Pooh Man who's real name is Lawrence Lee Tate began to run
into big problems.
The first involved a libel lawsuit due to a song he
released entitled 'Racia' which detailed the sexual exploits
of an Oakland woman of the same name. Apparently Pooh-Man
along with fellow rappers Too Short and Ant Banks kept it
real by telling real life sex tales in this song. After this
got resolved, Pooh-Man had a big falling out with Too Short
and Ant Banks over money. Things continued to spiral when
Pooh got hooked on heroin. The result of that addiction
made local headlines when he was caught robbing a Walgreen's
store here in Oakland. He was sent away to San Quentin
prison for a few years. He got out and relocated to Modesto
which is located in Central California.
Recently the Oakland Tribune ran a story about a Modesto
crime spree in which a half a dozen banks and several
jewelry stores were robbed. The robbers using a stolen
Cherokee would roll through and make store owners and
customers lie down on the floor during these strong arm
robberies. Modesto Police formed a task force to combat the
robberies. A stake out was held and Pooh-Man was captured
along with 4 other suspects. He had been on parole for
the 1994 Walgreen's robbery. He is now inside a Modesto
jail with a $ 1 million dollar bail after leading police
on a wild chase and manhunt in which he knocked on the
door of a resident and literally stole the shirt off
the man's back in an attempt to allude police. Pooh-Man
was fleeing the scene of a bank robbery. Police and FBI
are still gathering evidence and clues to connect Pooh
to the other robberies during recent crime spree.

OPET ODB...
Speaking of rappers in trouble. Everyone's favorite Hip Hop
troublemaker found himself behind bars after showing up to
court in Santa Monica, California. Old Dirty Bastard who has
secured the aid of OJ Simpson's former lawyer Robert Shapiro
was in town to face charges of illegally wearing a bulletproof
vest. He was supposed to make payments on the 150 thousand
dollars that was posted up for his bail. Apparently he had
not done so, so he was arrested on the spot and jailed. ODB
managed to get released and he headed back to New York. Just
when you think home boy would lay low he winds up getting
arrested and jailed again over the weekend. This time it was
the result of him running a red light in Queens NY. When
police pulled him over they discovered he was driving on
a suspended license. A quick search of ODB's red Mercedes
Benz convertible discovered marijuana and a substance that
the police believe is crack. Again ODB has been released on
bail. Someone please help this man.

I BUSSA BUS U SUDNICI...
Finally while Pooh-Man and ODB are dealing with their legal
woes, they find themselves in good company with one of
Hip Hop's premier rap stars-Busta Rhymes. According to Lee
Bailey's EUR Report http://www.eurweb.com, a woman named
Jill Miskelly is suing Bussa Bus claiming that he's the
father to her child. According to her, the child is the
result of a one night stand that took place in January
1998. After paternity tests proved that Busta was the
daddy, he began making child support payments of $1,250
a month. However, home girl wants more - much more from
the platinum selling artist who hangs out and does videos
with superstars like Janet Jackson.

PREKINUT KONCERT FOXY BROWN
Fox Boogie aka Foxy brown has been attempting to live down
her tumultuous reputation. Her recent cover story in Essence
Magazine revealed that young Inga Marchand has been maturing
both as an artist as well as in real life. Her recent tour
in which she actually showed up were steps in that direction.
Here in the Bay Area, fans had seen one too many flyers and
heard one too many announcements about Foxy Brown coming to
perform only to shell out money and find her not there. A
couple of years ago she was prominently advertised as one of
the main performers for KMEL Summer Jam. Hundreds of fans
were left angered and disappointed when it was announced
that 'she missed her plane'. Rival station KYLD got burned
by Fox Boogie when it was heavily promoted that she would
be appearing at their Bomb Concert. In between those two
shows there had been all sorts of promoters and venues
promising to have her appear only to have her be a no show.
It was no wonder less then two hundred headz showed up to
Maritime Hall the other week to see her wreck shop. This
was in spite of ticket giveaways and Foxy calling into the
radio station promising to get busy.
However, this time around Foxy did show up at SF's Maritime
Hall and put on a show that got mixed reviews. Some folks
thought she had a lot of charisma and held her own. Others
were disappointed in the fact that she would do short
snippets her hit songs before launching into freestyles that
was done acapella. As Foxy rocked the stage some one in the
crowd decided to slap his girl. Foxy caught wind of this and
promptly stopped the music and began to speak on how foul that
was.. She attempted to continue on when some one threw a water
bottle on stage. That was all it took-Foxy bounced and that
was it for the evening. Props to her for not letting such
foul behavior slide. Too bad the fans couldn't see her entire
show, but that's what happens when folks act up.

INTERVJU - GHOSTFACE KILLAH
Of all the alter-egos that make up the Wu-Tang Clan, Ghostface Killah's
always seemed the darkest. The RZA plays/lives the role of the shape-
shifting guru, Meth does charismatic man-child, Rae street-savvy
hustler, ODB twisted loose cannon - but on Ironman Ghost came across
a more tormented soul, an anguished poet wrestling with his inner
demons on an album that often sounded more like an open wound. He was
frank about his pain, wore his heart very much on his sleeve, and
everybody fell a little bit in love with the big guy who had the
emotional intensity of a lonely child.

KRATKA BIOGRAFIJA KRS-ONE-a
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""
One of the most-influential lyricists of all time, KRS-One began
his career in the '80s as the voice of hardcore hip-hop outfit
Boogie Down Productions. Throughout his decade-plus career, KRS
(b. L. Kris Parker) has managed to tread the line between
intellectual foil and street flamethrower even going so far as
to call himself, simply, 'hip-hop.'
After linking up with DJ/Producer Scott LaRock, the once-homeless
KRS-One pioneered an early flavor of 'gangsta rap,' creating the
classic Criminal Minded. The album featured the forever classics
"South Bronx," "The Bridge Is Over" and "The P is Free."
By 1987, KRS had adapted the nickname "The Teacher" due to his
political, some say preachy, consciousness-raising approach.
By 1990's Edutainment, however, sales began to slip as listeners
complained that KRS-One was teaching less and preaching more. In
1992, Boogie Down released Sex and Violence, a rap album that
aimed to raise spirits rather than awareness.
In 1993, KRS-One released Return of the Boom Bap under a first-ever
solo tag. The album featured KRS in collaboration with DJ Premier,
producing KRS' most inspired work since the late '80s. He continued
with 1995's self-titled effort and 1997's I Got Next, all released
on Jive Records.
Krs-One has also put together a number of positive hip-hop benefit
projects, including the Stop the Violence Movement, HEAL (Human
Education Against Lies), and his latest effort, the Temple of
Hip-Hop.

IMPERIJA UZVRACA UDARAC
By KET, Photos by Richard Lohr
My earliest memory of Def Jam was LL Cool J. It was a magical time
for me, a shorty from Brooklyn. I was discovering girls, playing
baseball, and really getting into Hip Hop. I was the kid on my
block that always had my box (radio, for you youngsters) attached
to my shoulder or next to me on the benches. In those days I was
listening to Mr. Magic and Chuck Chillout like everyone else;
taping every show. Joe's on Broadway was where I picked up the
record, "I Need a Beat" by LL. It was 1984 and Hip Hop wasn't
Hip Hop it was just rap music. Some kids from my block were
getting me into graffiti. At least appreciating it. I was on
cloud nine blasting LL while my stepmom screamed on me to turn
'that Black music off.' Man, those were the days. That was my
pre-high school summer.

When I first saw the video for the smash single "HA", I
raised one eyebrow- curious about this spit-fire brothah

presence on that screen that he manifested had a story
to tell and a life's destiny to fulfill, "makin' somethin'
outta nothin'/[he's] a paper-chaser with [his] block on
fire " The video provided insight into the life and
times of this soulja, who amidst the chaos of the
trenches in Magnolia (the crime capital of Louisiana)
has been comin' up through he ranks, talkin' his own
language, representin' his world, with a crazy sound all
his own. Now shit is on lock, and New York has been
feelin' it. New Orleans been knew, and its not only
because of the triz-irty million Universal Records deal,
but because of the music that displays the heart and

XZIBIT - 40 Dayz & 40 Nightz
by Evil E
The dysfunctional member of the Likwit Crew, X to the Z has
dropped album numero 2. What does this kid have in store? One
of the dopest albums of the year. The album opens with the
Sir Jinx produced cut "Chamber Music", a cut that will knock
you on your ass. The samples of stomping (also heard on an
older school Ice Cube track) brings up a combination of cell
block stomping or an amped up bball arena, and the sparse
orchestra samples are dope as hell too. X gets on the mic
and rips it saying "like a nigga without legs, I ain't tryin'
to kick it". Next up is the buttery Bud'da produced "3 Card
Molly". If you haven't heard this song already, you are in
for a real treat. It's the first installment of the Golden
State Warriors, which is X, Ras Kass and Saafir. The next
jam "What You See Is What You Get" is the first single from
the album, and one of the best videos I've ever seen,
basically X calls out the fools and let's you know that what
you see is really what you get. He even picks up co-production
credits on the track. Track Five "Handle Your Business" has
a slower beat, very similar to "At The Speed Of Life", where
he advises you to "Handle your business, before it handles
you". Oh yeah, did I mention that dope ass hell Defari jums
in on the song as well. The message is definately heard on
the bangin' "Nobody Sound Like Me", nobody on the west can
really flow like X. Meth and Jayo Felony lend an assist on
"Pussy Pop". This song has dance club single written all
over it. It's nice to see a talented commercial song, not
the usual wack, recycled bullshit. "Chronic Keeping 101"
teaches ya the basics to keepin' ya chron. The old school
sounding "Shrooms" with a nice Funky Worm sample is so
tight. You just gotta hear it. "Focus" features a track with
another Aftermath in house producer DJ Glove. Another cut
that keeps the album moving. X decides to put all of his
work into the album and not fall into the filler routine, I
give him props for this. Bud'da drops another GEM on the
JAM "Deeper". It's ultra butter. With a smooth yet bangin'
drumb beat and a violin sample, claiming "Not radio, but
still going platinum". Right here I feel the message of
the album, this underground cat is here to take over doing
it his talented way. He's gonna blow it up with this album.
Explaining that the game is much deeper than we realize, I
believe him. Next up, welcome to LA..."Los Angeles Times"
from the Soul In The Hole soundtrack, an older song, but it
still hits. "Inside Job" has all the dramatics of an old school
Ice Cube or Public Enemy track. "Let It Rain" marks the only
track that the Liks get on, so does King T and E Swift
produces...yeah, I dig. A Likwit Allstars album would be dope.
Montageone drops the beat and lyrics on the final joint
"Recycled Assasins". All I can advise ya'll is pick this
album up. It's unbelievably dope. For a while I've seen
Xzibit as developing into the Common of the westcoast, and
he confirms this on the "Outro" having his pops jump on the
track. This album ranks up as the years best albums with
GangStarr, Goodie Mob, Big Pun, Black Eyed Peas and the
return of Public Enemy.

LAURYN HILL - The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
by Evil E
Damn, it's been a little while since this album first hit
my ears, about a week before it's street date, and I've had
a mixed bag of emotions for this album. At first I was
thinking what would have gotten me hurt up a few years ago,
that Lauryn Hill needs Wyclef. A few years ago, everybody
was saying that Lauryn should ditch the Fugees for a solo
act, but Wyclef dropped the incredible "The Carnival" which
is what finally deaded that talk. But Lauryn is a very
complex artist, that's why I waited a while before I was
going to bash the album. But I'm not going to at all, in
fact, this album reaches very brilliant levels...BRILLIANT!
Lauryn has developed like no other artist has. She has gone
from everybodys favorite female MC, to a big bad ass
beautiful, soulful queen. Right now I will say two things
about the album, the production is bomb. This is one of
those rare hiphop albums that has melody and harmony. One
of the best songs I've ever heard doesn't have her ripping
the Mic, but beautifully singing "Ex Factor". Damn, if I
could ever fall in love with somebody just on how their
voice sounds it would be her. When Ms. Hill sings to her
son on "To Zion" I am just sitting in awe. The beat is
dope, with strings actually playing a key part of the beat,
not just as a background in most hiphop joints. The lyrics
of this song are as deep I've ever heard recorded, especially
the first verse. Then Lauryn shows she's still got the
hiphop we all love on "Superstar" calling out the tired
ass hiphoppers, while singing. She sings to have all
musicians world wide to "Come on baby, light my fire"...
damn, I wish she was singing that to me. Even when she sings
the lyrics, she's dropping knowledge saying "I know you
think you got it all, by making other people feel small".
On Point! "When it Hurts So Bad" is another one of the
soulful offerings made by the Lady. One of the best
songs of the year "Everything is Everything" helps to
close out the album very nicely. Then there's a couple
of bonus cuts, and even a few I didn't mention to fill
out the album. I don't think many people will get this
album. It's way over the head of those looking for a
little gunz and glory, or maybe something about sex or
smoking blunts. It's about life and maturation. This is
one of those bomb ass albums that people will listen to
40 years from now to get pumped up to go see Lauryn on tour.
This is a very good album.

EMINEM - The Slim Shady LP
by Gonzolez Shapiro
Everlast, Serch, Pete Nice, Miilkbone, and the Beasties; a
brief list of the white cats who proved more or less that they
can hold their own on the mic. Judging from Slim Shady, the
new addition should make more noise than any of the others to
date, for a number of reasons.
First, and maybe foremost, the drug/alcohol/sex/violence ratio
throughout the whole disc is sky high. In fact, this is the
kind of CD that scores of little snot nosed crumbsnatchers
will be listening to for the profanity alone. Frankly I am
amazed that no religious groups or the like have attacked
Eminem and his label for the wickedness therein.
But, itĺs all too easy to dismiss Slim Shady as complete
shock-value. The fact is, Eminem isnĺt just some fluke who is
clever with the foul words. His flow is tight, and everything
he says reeks with cynicism, sarcasm, and an ultimately darker
than dark sense of humor. Not everyone can sit back and laugh
about some of the shit he jokes about, but for those who can,
itĺs most definitely worth the ride.
I find that when I listen to Slim Shady, Iĺm indifferent about
the music for the most part. Not that itĺs bad, by any stretch.
My favorite track (which was originally on the EP) "Just Donĺt
Give A Fuck," has a minimalist creepy kind of thing going on,
and could just as easily be called the Slim Shady Anthem. "My
name is Marhsal Mathers, Iĺm an alcoholic (hi Marshal)/I have
a disease and they donĺt know what to call it/better hide your
wallet, Iĺm coming up quick to strip your cash/bought a ticket
to your concert, to come and whip your ass." The sound is
alright, but itĺs the lyrics that make the album.
Hip hop hasnĺt had any memorable storytellers since Slick Rick,
Biz Markie, and as far as Iĺm concerned, Kwest Tha Madd Lad.
Eminem switches up voices when necessary and tends to keep one
wondering what in gods name could come next. "Guilty Conscience"
tells of three guys in shady situations, one who is considering
robbing a liquor store, one who meets a young girl at a rave and
considers dropping drugs in her drink, and one who returns home
to find his wife in bed with another man. Dr. Dre and Eminem
play the good and bad parts of their consciences, respectively.
"97ĺ Bonnie & Clyde" (Just The Two Of Us on the EP) is a rather
chilling conversation between Eminem and his daughter Hailey in
the car on the way to the docks. Eminem explains to his daughter
why her mother is taking a "little nap in the trunk." "No more
fightinĺ with dad, no more restraining order/ no more step-dada,
no more new bruva," ill shit, truly. "My Fault" tells of how
he ends up at a party hanging with Susan, a chick who just
recently kicked heroin. She brings up that sheĺs considering
using again, when Eminem suggests she try Mushrooms instead.
However, she ends eating a tad too many, and serious drama
ensues.
On "If I Had," which incidentally sounds similar to "Suicidal
Thoughts" by Biggie at certain points, Eminem gets a little
too melodramatic. As does "Still Donĺt Give A Fuck," but this
one is more of a follow up, and reinforces that Eminem isnĺt
apologizing for anything. But they donĺt detract from the
tracks that really shine.

GENIUS/GZA - PRVA DVA SINGLA SA NOVOG ALBUMA 'BENEATH THE SURFACE'
MCA, 1999
Breaker, Breaker
""""""""""""""""
The return of the Genius is soon to come. MCA is dropping his new
album "Beneath The Surface" with the 12-inch "Breaker, Breaker"
as the first release. Judging from the sound of this brand new
material from the Genius, I'd say that there has been some
definate changes. The whole beat is laced by organ chords,
taking us through and it all sounds more brighter and clearer
than what I'd expected. But it works allright though. As the
indesputable MC that Genius is, we know that he'd never let us
down. "Breaker, Breaker" is here, working fine but I hope that
the entire "Beneath The Surface" album will take us to some new
level within the Wu-Tang. I expect nothing less from this Genius.
Score: 2/5
Publicity
"""""""""
Mathematics is handling the production of "Publicity", the B-side
of the "Breaker, Breaker" single. Quite reminding of the sound
from "Wu-Tang Forever", Math builds the entire track on the well
known violin strings. And I can say I like it, even though it
might not be something brand new and creative. Vocally, I think
Genius is takin' it all though. For those who ever doubted, he
does a definate come back and with his sharp lyrics he's this
time giving us his critic thoughts on Hiphop magazines. The
Genius is still in good shape, let's just hope he's giving us
the same mental depth on the new album as he did on his last
one.
Score: 3/5

EPMD "Out of Business " (DefJam)
Mike Foam & guest reviewer PoppaWu break it down
Mike:
I felt like it might be hard to write a non-biased view of the
EPMD album being that I grew up near them and that they've been
such a staple in hiphop. However, the brothers from Brentwood
Long Island make it easy. This album should be called "Gimmick
Business." Come with the last album stupid hype already. Just
make music or don't. The beats on the new album sound like
some left over funk loops while the rhymes are tired. Why did
PMD abandon his once flavorful style for this new thug "I love
Mobb Deep" lifestyle. That's even more tired than being able
to guess the exact rhyme that Erick Sermon is going to say
next. "The Symphony" has a slammin'beat and the rhymes are
okay but here's what pissed me off, "The Symphony 2000," is
the same exact beat and EPMD kick the same rhymes. The only
difference are the guest rappers. Some marketing executive
stepped in and said "M.O.P. aren't popular, lets do the same
exact track but put Redman, Method Man (an amazing
performance), and (who the 'f' is) Lady Luck. Like it would
have taken so long for Erick & Parrish to write one more tired
verse. Another sleepy remix is flipped off their 1993 classic
"Rap is Outta Control." On "Rap is still outta control," Busta
Rhymes adds some seriously needed flavor. Yet the beat on the
new song isn't better than the old song. Why mess with a
classic if you can't make it better? "House Party" is the
type ridiculous attempt at making a studio track sound like a
party - thumbs down. The album wouldn't be complete without
"Jane 6" which samples the Rick James classic "Mary Jane."
It's alright. How do we save this review? By listening to
disc #2, EPMD's greatest hits. Besides the jokes, all of
your favorites are here: "You Gots 2 Chill," "So Whatcha
Sayin," "Big Payback," "Gold Digger," "Rampage," "Headbanger,"
and more. The jokes are that they've included "Never Seen
Before," and "Da Joint," from their last album Back in
Business. Hardly classics but it will be nice for the new
hiphoppers to hear the older jams that we were vibin' to.
PoppaWu:
The new EPMD is most definitely "The Joint" and should be
called Business Forever. The rap game is filled with non-lyrical
mc's (mostly outside the East coast) but these lyrical legends
are back and sounding like they took a walk through a tunnel of
originality rhyming like Rakim when he returned. Parrish keeps
his deep rugged flow especially on the jams "Check 1,2, and
"Hold Me Down." The intro has a tight beat and the two flow
over it like the fountain of youth the mic doctors must have
spending a lot of time in. Draw is a phat joint where Parrish
raps like he is in a modern day western and Erick literally rips
up the track like a train wreck. House Party is a Def Jam which
sounds like an old K Solo song but much rougher. In Symphony
2000 Meth and Red spit memorable verses but the original is also
ill featuring Brooklyn's finest M. O. P. In that version Erick
kinda disses Silk the Shocker by saying "it ain't my fault im
sick enough to shock you" but its not certain that it's a diss.
Hopefully it is! The tape ends rightfully with Jane 6 and it
is also a classic. The only disappointment is that Busta Rhymes
only does a hook but its cool because the jam is still bangin
like the beats on the whole tape (let's hope they didn't have
to pay Busta for it). Erick still freaks the funk to the
fullest which is dope just to hear a great veteran rhyme with
the best. For example, listen to his verse in "U Got Shot,"
and "The Funk." Overall the two hold each other down even
better than ever without selling out or telling some weak gory
story about a bitch or some shit doesn't have any meaning.
Long live the real east coast rap and end the crap.

PETE ROCK "Soul Surivor" (Loud)
Another P.R. and C.L. Smooth album minus the C.L. for the most
part except for one song. Instead of just producing for other
artists on their albums, Pete Rock came out with his own
anything but "solo" joint featuring everybody. I like Pete
Rock. I think he's one of the best producers out there next
to Phonjuan and Sty of course. "Soul Survivor" has its beat
interludes as well as cameo interludes. My favorite interlude
is Fat Man Scoob comparing Pete Rock to Salaam. The production
is tight throughout. I think (insert the wackest emcee you
know) could sound dope over a P.R. track. The songs which stand
out feature Method Man, Large Professor and Kool G. Rap, and
Big Pun, Common, and Nore. I like P.R.'s style. He has good
lyrics. He's better than most of the rappers on the album. I
could have lived without Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz and MC Eight
and the reggae track. Also, I like the woman on the cover of
the album. Overall, the album is good. In the future, Pete Rock,
do not invite any more Wutang members on songs because after
Meth, Raekwon, Inspector Deck, & GZA, the rest suck. Peace,
Balls across the nose.

SLICK RICK "The Art of Storytelling" (Def Jam)
Does it seem like the Ruler has released four full albums?
Not really. On his latest, the flow is still there. Both
"The Ruler's Back" and follow up "Behind Bars" were written
with a two week time. This latest release has the Def Jam
2000 marketing behind Rick, which is what he needs if young
people are going to purchase this middle-aged man's hiphop.
It's nice to see older artists still rocking it, because
this will lead us to believe that people (besides KRS-1)
may have the option of having a long career in hiphop.
However, it always seems almost border-line gimmick with
all of the comeback albums as of late. The first track
"Kill Niggaz" has a smooth beat and is a nice way to
start the album. The first single "Street Talkin'"
featuring OutKast is off the hinges as well. Then the
album goes through a mediocre spell for a few songs until
the Raymond Deal produced "I Run This." It's hyped as
hell and it doesn't quit when "Frozen" featuring the
wordsmith Raekwon bangs your box. After subjecting
yourself to a few more average cuts, "We Turn It On"
featuring Doug E. Fresh will having you breaking out the
card board to flex your head spin. Slammin' execution -
this beat is what we need more of. The one thing that
bugs me about this album is that there are two live
tracks at the end, and the bad thing is that "The Show"
featuring Doug E. Fresh is one of them. The first line
of the song is messed up by Rick. I mean live is cool,
but to fuck up the first line? Considering all the
people on this album, RevRun, Redman, Nas, Outkast,
Canibus, Raekwon, Q-Tip, Peter Gunz, Snoop Dog, and
Kid Capri, the album isn't what it should be. I guess
I'm just still waiting for The Greatest Adventures of
Pt. II. But trying to find a sound that works these days
while keeping your original sound intact is hard work.
Still, I would rather listen to Slick anyday than half
of these so-called MC's that record companies serve to
us gold before we even hear the album. Knock 'em out
the box, Rick.

CYPRESS HILL, "Cypress Hill IV" (Ruffhouse)
For those of you that don't know, Sen Dog was absent from
Cypress Hill "III-The Temples of Boom." For those you that
care, he is back. After all, reunions in hiphop are
inevitable. After hearing the first track "Looking Through
the Eye of a Pig," one may think that Cypress are trying
to emulate their first album. Sen Dog's here and B-Real is
rhyming on the first track cops again. This time B-Real
twists it by rhyming from the perspective of a cop. The
difference from this album and the debut is in the beats.
Like the last Cypress album, D.J. Muggs has sampled his
own original music to create loops. Some of the drum
patterns aren't anything special but most of the loops
are very original and harness that Cypress energy.
"Prelude to a Come Up" has an ill infectious piano loop that
can't be missed. I think all of the tracks are pretty nice.
Muggs has always been a top notch producer and nothing has
changed in that department. He mixes all the tracks as well
so each element has it's own logical place. So was it all
good having Sen Dog return? I guess. I mean it's nice to
hear his patented gruff back-ups. However, his rhymes are
straight up wack! I know he's never been a lyrical genius
but he's hurting worse than ever. Even B-Real's rhymes
aren't that good. Only on "Audio X" does he rip it with
a kind of double time flow. Otherwise it's a lot of
cursing a tired topics. Hardcore hustling and weed.
B-Real should use his voice to talk about some new issues.
Cypress has had a successful tour for years. Headlining
the Smoking Grooves Tour has helped them to acclaim a
sort of 'Grateful Dead for Hiphop Heads' status. They
could really use this ground to voice some new opinions
to the youth. The weed anthem on this joint is "Dr. Green
Thumb." An overall good addition to their weed
repetoire but the album is nothing special.

"Rawkus Presents Heavy Beats Volume 1 'DJ SPINNA'"
I might have dissed DJ Spinna in the last review because I
felt that it would have been cooler for Sir Menelik and Grand
Puba to get more of a hyped beat. I guess he was saving his
gems for this project. A very jazzy, sometimes instrumental
sometimes lyrical hiphop mini-album. Once the third track
plays, things start moving. "Grooveamungus" is a slammin'
up tempo instrumental to get the mind flowin'. Then Apani'
B Fly Emcee blesses verbal airspace along side fellow
prodigy Talib Kweli on "Time Zone" . Next comes another
party anthem instrumental that uses the word "rock" from
different samples. Not too exciting until "Watch Dees"
with Eminem & Thirstin Howl III. I know I kind of dissed
Thirstin Howl before because I knew he was capable of more.
He's better on this track but Thirstin needs to be heard in
concert to be fully understood. I haven't seen Eminem live
but he always seems to rip it on record and this track is
no different. The tape is cool cuz Spinna has his own style
of beats. "The Haunted Space Freak" may be up for beat of
the year. I admire Spinna for producing with all types of
heads both in the states and over seas. Him and Hi-Tek
look like the next generation Pete Rock & Premier
respectively.

"COMPANY FLOW Presents Little Johnny From The Hospital" (Rawkus)
I respect Company Flow for doing their own thing. They don't try
to follow trends, they create them. Their latest release is
entirely instrumental. One might ask, are these throw away
beats that didn't make the next upcoming CoFlo release? Perhaps.
We presented these beats in a laboratory safe setting for fellow
globalhiphop memebers PhonX & Spark Mindcrime to cypher over.
They were talkin' about stuff and I got spit on repeatedly!
Everything went well until Spark's chemical composition became
warped beyond recognition. This was due to the present
environment of Kremlyovskaya Vodka w/ Strawberry Orange Banana
juice, PhonX talkin' out his ass, and the new Co-Flow dark gritty
beat release. Some of the beats seemed hard to flow over but you
have to think of El-P & the Juggaknots lacing this beat LP.
You know they did. Could you compete with them? If you could
flow over these beats as well or better than those who made them,
then you are ready to commit to the opinion of disliking them.
Until then, emcees need to experiment over this beatscape.
Non-emcees may not understand. If I get it requested, I will
put some audio from that cypher here.

Song: Really Doe
Verse One:
To G or not to G is the question
And like Smith told Wesson
I'm shady with the .380 old school diploma
I'll leave that ass in a coma
So-if you got a herring bone
Welcome to the Terrordome
Two-eleven, sorry Reverend
Oh my god, gettin' robbed
Reach for the small, Atomic Dog
Hard to swallow, shaky hands wallow
Count to ten, and don't try to follow
Cause just like Waco, I can take four,
ATF, to they death
Bust a left on Weston, go and get a room
Don't want to be a felon like Stacey Koon
Get the white bitch, hit the light switch
Here we go
Tap that ass like this -
Really doe
Verse Two:
Throw me in a holding tank, catch the vapors
Make me a pillow out of toilet paper
Concrete bench kickin' off the hemorrhoids
Ese's deep, don't fuck with them boys
Phone check, co-llect call from the baller
Her mama said please don't call her
Do-Wah-Diddy, far from New Jack City,
Seen one of my peers
What the fuck you doin' in here?
He said, "187 on the enemy"
And they treat me like I just shot a Kennedy!
Deputy bitch thinks she's the queen bee
Ink on my thumb, index, and pinky
"Sir, what set you from?"
Play dumb - "General population"
Mama put your house up
And I can bounce up
Out this motherfucker
That's why I love ya'
Out like a boss, with a half-pint of sauce
Got the shit sewed up like Betsy Ross
With a friend no, want some Endo
Never fuck with a silly ho
Really Doe!
Verse Three:
Knock you out like NyQuil, I'll kill you quick
Sucker for love ass-trick
So don't run up, wit ya gun up
Cause I got the back breaker
Double-pump rump shaker
Cause you can play hooky
In the Aqua Boogie
With concrete nikes
Ya get no stripes
Livin' unforgivin' with the mic on,
And punks runnin' like roaches with the light on
And that's for the shit I'm startin'
Bust a cap - like Jerome on Martin
You lookin' for a punk with benefits
Cause you got a baby, that takes many shits
And you know I got a grip
Like a baby on a tit
Scopin' hopin', thighs open
But I kick back, sit back
And hit the Philly slow, hooker ho
Really doe

Wastin' time with all the chatroom yakkers?
9 to 5, chillin' at Hewlett Packard?
Workin' at a desk with a dumb little placard?
Yeah, payin' the bills with my mad programming skills
Defraggin' my hard drive for thrills
I got me a hundred gigabytes of RAM
I never feed trolls and I don't read spam
Installed a T1 line in my house
Always at my PC, double-clickin' on my mizouse
Upgrade my system at least twice a day
I'm strictly plug-and-play, I ain't afraid of Y2K
I'm down with Bill Gates, I call him Money for short
I phone him up at home and I make him do my tech support

You think your Commodore 64 is really neato
What kinda chip you got in there, a Dorito?

Your Windows boots up in what, a day and a half?
You could back up your whole hard drive on a floppy diskette
You're the biggest joke on the internet
Your database is a disaster
You're waxin' your modem tryin' to make it go faster
Hey fella, I bet you're still livin' in your parents' cellar
Downloadin' pictures of Sarah Michelle Gellar
And postin "Me too!" like some brain-dead AOL-er
I should do the world a favor and cap you like Old Yeller
You're just about as useless as jpegs to Helen Keller

Uh, uh, loggin' in now
Wanna run wit my crew, hah?
Rule cyberspace and crunch numbers like I do?
They call me the king of the spreadsheets
Got em all printed out on my bedsheets
My new computer's got the clocks, it rocks
But it was obsolete before I opened the box
You say you've had your desktop for over a week?
Throw that junk away, man, it's an antique!
Your laptop is a month old? Well, that's great
If you could use a nice, heavy paperweight
My digital media is write-protected
Every file inspected, no viruses detected
I beta tested every operating system
Gave props to some, and others? I dissed 'em
While your computer's crashin', mine's multitaskin'
It does all my work without me even askin'
Got a flat-screen monitor, 40" wide
I believe that yours says "Etch-A-Sketch" on the side
In a 32-bit world, you're a 2-bit user
You've got your own newsgroup, alt.total-loser
Your mother board melts when you try to send a fax
Where'd you get your CPU, in a box of Cracker Jacks?
Play me online? Well, you know that I'll beat you
If I ever meet you I'll control-alt-delete you
What?
It's all about the Pentiums!
It's all about the Pentiums!
It's all about the Pentiums!

that they do not have enough evidence to charge DMX for allegedly
stabbing 24 year old Nicholas James.
. DMX has been arrested under charges that he assulted a man in
Yonkers this week. After the arrest, it turns out he was wanted
in Denver for a stabbing. D claims he didn't even know about
being wanted in Denver.
. Ruffhouse Records will be shutting down after 13 years. The CEO
Chris Swartz and Pres. Joe Nicolo have split to persue their own
personal goals. Acts signed to Ruffhouse such as The Fugees,
Cypress Hill, and Lauryn Hill will be absorbed by the Sony/Columbia
label.
. Ja Rule has apparantly landed a movie role on Pras' new movie
Ghetto Supastar which is based on his book. If Ja acts as good as

. The Roots will release an EP this summer featuring songs that
didn't make the album. It will also feature a remix of "You Got Me".
. Slick Rick and Doug E. Fresh are collaborating on a track for
Ricks upcoming release "Da Art Of Storytellin'". The song will
be titled "The Show Pt. II"

ex-girlfriend's testimony was differed from her initial statement.
. Ma$e has released a statement that after his album "Double Up" is
released on June 15, he will leave the music buisness. The reason
for this is he has found God. I don't know if this is a publicity

Police carried out search warrants on 4 locations owned by Knight.
The seized a Chevrolet Impala, which is the same car that
witnesses reported the shots coming from. Hopefully they find the

JOS JEDNA BIOGRAFIJA KRS_ONE-A (I B.D.P.-JA)
Born Lawrence Parker in Park Slope, Brooklyn in the summer of 1965,
the rapper left home at 14 to play basketball and read books free
of the gaze of the authorities (his mother and the New York City
public school system). He landed in a homeless shelter in the South
Bronx, where he was dubbed Krishna by residents because of his
interest in the Hare Krishna spirituality of some of the
antipoverty workers. By the time Krishna met youth counselor Scott
Sterling, he was also writing graffiti as KRS-One (Knowledge Reigns
Supreme Over Nearly Everyone). Together he and Sterling, a.k.a. DJ
Scott La Rock, created Boogie Down Productions, releasing their
landmark debut album, Criminal Minded, in 1987.
In the summer of 1984, KRS-One hit the music scene with a rap group
called "Scott La rock and the Celebrity Three" with a record called
"Advance". And that was, in a time when most rappers rhymed about
cars, jewelry, alcohol, and the latest dance, KRS-One was rhyming
about nuclear war prevention. Scott La Rock and the Celebrity Three
was comprised of Scott La Rock, Levi167, MC Quality, and KRS-One.
After legal problems with the head of the label, Scott La Rock and
the Celebrity Three were released from their contract. In the winter
of 1984, KRS-One wrote a song called "Stop The Violence" although
by this time The Celebrity Three had broken up and only KRS-One and
Scott La Rock remained. Both realized they had to change the name
of the group and they did: the new group was called The Boogie Down
Crew.
In 1985, Scott La Rock was asked to do an already written and
produced record for Sleeping Bag Records. Of course Kris and Scott
wanted to concentrate on their own Boogie Down Crew but first they
had to go through this. For this project they were paid nothing
and had no rights or claims to anything. It was this project that
educated Kris and Scott as to the importance of being producers of
their music, as well as the artists, so at this point they decided
to change the name of their own Boogie Down Crew to Boogie Down
Productions.
At the close of 1987, the B.D.P lifestyle got real and Scott La
Rock was killed trying to break up a dispute in the Bronx. This
shocked the hip hop communitity and as a result rap and violence
became a topic in the mainstream press. The rap community thought
Boogie Down Productions was over but this only led to new plans
for KRS-One. In 1988, KRS-One left B. Boy Records to sign with
Jive Records and "By All Means Necessary" was released. Rap music
was under a mainstream microscope and KRS-One now was able to
release what he and Scott always dreamed about, an album that gave
rap a different image. His first video on Jive Records was for
"My Philosophy", a song that re-established his presence in the
rap world.
In order to understand KRS-One, it is imperative that you either
understand hip hop as opposed to rap or open your mind to the
reality of what is going on around you. KRS-One is not a bullshit
artist. His career began in 1986 and since then no other rap or
hip hop artist has come close to his consistency with hit albums.
1987, Criminal Minded, 1988, By All Means Necessary, 1989, Ghetto
Music, 1990, Edutainment, 1991, BDP Live Hardcore, 1992, Sex And
Violence, 1993, Return of the Boom Bap, 1995, KRS ONE.
Having lectured at Harvard, Yale, Vassar, Columbia, N.Y.U. and
Stanford, KRS-One is nicknamed "THE TEACHER." There is only one
KRS-One. That's it, that's all, solo, single, no more, no less.
KRS-One has been quoted as saying "This is rebellious music, not
gangster music." KRS-One is beyond rap, he is a manifestation of
hip hop culture. KRS-One is a force in rap so powerful that his
songs are sampled by many artists, giving rise to other hit
records for these artists.
KRS-One, through Boogie Down Productions hasn't been an artist
that jumps on any passing bandwagon. KRS-One stands as a
trendsetter in the hip hop world. He is a producer that
specialized in breaking new ground and new artists. For example,
KRS-One in 1986 introduced the hip hop reggae style to rap music
and things have not been the same since. KRS-One is the first
artist to rap in an "off beat" style, influencing hundreds of
rappers to do the same. KRS-One is responsible for pushing
hip hop culture and rap music to some of its most advanced
levels. He has influenced the reggae market with his work on
the first Shabba Ranks album. He also has done ground breaking
work with R.E.M. With this, as with many other things today
like Ol' Dirty with Mariah Carey and Fugees with Simply Red,
comes criticism from fans of "not keeping it real" but these
fans in the eyes of many "real fans" are just contradicting
those words in that they should like the music for what it is
and should not ctiticise the artists for their work out of
the hip hop industry.
KRS-One also has the best live hip hop show in the world. You
can ask the critics of Japan, England, Denmark, Holland, France,
Germany and Italy. Everywhere KRS-One goes, he packs them in
for an hour long classical hip hop performance. Ask the critics
in America, KRS-One has performed for some of the hardest
audiences to please and left them gasping for air and drenched
with sweat.
After all these projects, KRS ONE is still going strong in 1997.
He can still please the hardcore hip hop fans with tracks like
"The MC", "Can't Stop, Won't Stop and "Step Into A World". Who
knows how long he'll keep going on, one thing we do know is
that KRS ONE is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, names
of all time in hip hop. In his own words in "If you don't know
me by now, I doubt you'll ever know me".

RECENZIJE - > SINGLOVI
"""""""""
THE HIGH & THE MIGHTY FEAT. PHAROAHE MONCH 'Dirty Decibels' (Rawkus)
Mr Eon has few critics, if any. His rough, gravelly voice would
make The Undertaker quiver in his big black boots. So, an equally
beastly guitar loop is the perfect backdrop for him to scorch the
mic. Pharaohe Monch pops up as well on the chorus, not quite as
menacing but still enough to make you want the record.
NOREAGA 'Oh No' (Penalty)
Sorry Nore, but this is your worst track to date. I really enjoyed
'The War Report', was satisfied with 'NORE', but I'm finding this
'Oh No' junk very unconvincing. Each verse is uninteresting, and
the chorus is made up of some people shouting 'oh no'. All I have
left to say is oh no.
ARSONISTS 'Pyromaniax' (Matador)
There's no doubting that the Arsonists are a bit good. In fact,
better than just good. So far everything releases by Q-Unique and
co has been of very high quality, and 'Pyromaniax' is wicked once
again. For these few minutes of glory, the rugged style is dropped
and bounciness takes over. The rhymes are hip-hop's freshwater
stream. If you can't make sense of that, make sense of this - it's
one for your collection.
BIG L 'The Heist' (Fat Beats)
What better way to be cheered up after Big L's tragic murder in
February than to a release a good single by the DITC man himself?
This isn't quite as good as 'Ebonics', but it's still lively, with
L performing a phone conversation similar to something from The
Firm (but without the mafia stuff). You also got a live freestyle,
which is just what was expected of L - energetic, offensive and RAW!
In short, cop it.
NAS FEAT. PUFF DADDY 'Hate Me Now' (Colombia)
Nasir Jones is an exceptional emcee when he wants to be, but when
you team up with the ever-falling Puff Daddy and use part of
Carmina Burana, you're just asking for trouble. The title suggests
that lyrically it's all about people who 'playa hate'. It's getting
a bit overdone now, though. The chorus is terrible, with Puffy
repeating the words 'hate me now'. Some people are treating this
record as an anthem for 99, I'd be more likely to use it as slightly
uncomfortable toilet tissue. 'Nas Is Like' on the other side is much
better.
LOOTPACK 'Whenimondamic' (Stones Throw)
If you haven't heard the Lootpack yet, let me just get you salivating
- they enjoy working with hardcore bods Tha Alkaholiks and Peanut
Butter Wolf. OK, prop up your lower lip and ease the dribble, it's
time to read this review! Madlib's beat is something you can dance
to, but without the hyper-jigginess of Will Smith and Puff Daddy. The
warbling sample perks proceedings up every few seconds, and
Wildchild's lyrics are first rate, cussing wack emcees and
explaining emcee life as a whole. Oh, and I can't leave out DJ Romes
with the tidy background scratching. So, is 'Whenimondamic' any
good? Oh my goodness, yes.
CONSEQUENCE FEAT. SHABAAM SAHDEEQ, MIKE ZOOT & FT 'Nobody'
(Grooveattack)
I'm not going to beat around the bush - this latest track from the
long-time Tribe affiliate is superb. Some artists try to be
'overinventive', and the end track can be weak, but 'Nobody' is
mighty in its own simple way. Nick Wiz's beat is good and solid,
and the three guests lay down incredible raps just as expected.
One of the best singles out at the moment.
DJ SPINNA 'Rock' (Rawkus)
Who can knock the man DJ Spinna? As well as being a member of the
hugely talented Polyrhythm Addicts, he can also hold it down for
himself rather well. This latest track 'Rock' sees Spinna upping
the bpm to a speedy rate, while digging out samples from Ralph
McDonald and Kool & The Gang. Each little sound and beat works
well. At first I wasn't quite sure what to make of this single,
but I'm now a convert.
UGLY DUCKLING 'Now Who's Laughin' (Bad Magic)
There's nothing ugly here, that's for sure. If you haven't
heard Ugly Duckling yet, pick up this follow up to last year's
'Fresh Mode' and recognise that the trio have skills by the
bucketload. Young Einstein's production on 'Now Who's Laughin'
is not too complex - just a few piano loops and whatever. But
the piano sounds good, and works well when placed alongside
effortless rhyming. Sooner or later you'll be singing along to
the catchy chorus.
COMMON 'One-Nine-Nine-Nine' (Rawkus)
'Soundbombing II' should be out in the shops soon, and this
is a cut from the compilation. Produced by Hi-Tek,
'One-Nine-Nine-Nine' drifts along nicely with Common and Sadat X
putting down their rhymes. The flipside 'Like They Used To Say'
is better. Here, it's Dug Infinite laying down a bouncy tune for
the sensible spitting, and then every so often Mase (De La Soul)
scratches about samples from old tracks such as Audio Two's
'Top Billin' and Big Daddy Kane's 'No Half Steppin'.
2PAC 'Changes'
Where on earth did they get this one from? It wouldn't sound out
of place on an effing boring bank advert or something. I am
definitely not a fan of this. Why are these labels releasing
2Pac material which is, quite frankly, a load of rubbish. Let
him rest, instead of constantly tarnishing his name and rep.
J-LIVE 'School's In' (Payday)
Just as we'd hoped, 'School's In' is more goodness from the
ex-Raw Shack emcee. In fact, we've heard this was recorded
months ago so maybe you're already up on it. The chorus has
tasteful samples scratched all over, and then it's back to
the Live one to rhyme over production which is very Gang
Starr-esque.. Hopefully J-Live's
upcoming album will follow the same level as this.
NAS 'Nas Is Like' (Columbia)
To be frank, it looks like Nas will never record an album quite
as breathtaking as 'Illmatic' ever again. But that does not
mean he is poor or anything like that. His lyrics may have
been watered-down ever since that album, but his flow still
outshines a lot of pretenders out there. This new track from
the forthcoming third album is quite good really. Mr Jones
delivers the goods over steady production.
DEFARI 'Likwit Connection' (Tommy Boy)
So, Defari has upped sticks from the independent ABB label
and moved to Tommy Boy, along with several other underground
artists. 'Likwit Connection' is produced by E-Swift, with Tha
Alkaholiks and Phil Da Agony's rhymes slotting in well with
the beat. The flip 'Keep It On The Rise' is a more moody
piece of hip-hop and produced by Evidence. Both tracks are
good, so this is worth purchasing on your next vinyl venture.

RECENZIJE - > ALBUMI
"""""""""
ROB SWIFT 'The Ablist' (Asphodel)
'X-Pressions' by the X-Ecutioners was one of 1998's best albums,
so getting our hands on this debut album from group member Rob
Swift was a job we were prepared to do. After listening to it,
we can say that it is quite different to last time round. For
example, Rob hooks up with live band Dujeous on 'Modern Day
Music' for a horn-filled composition, and 'Fusion Beats' is a
mellow melody livened up with Rob's 'turntablised' beat-making.
Mr Swift even raps a bit himself on 'I'm Leaving'. It seems
as though the DJ is attempting something different. This
assumption makes rehashs of 'Turntablist Anthem' (albeit with
new Pharaohe Monch lyrics) and 'Musica Negra' quite ironic.
There is still room for great new tracks, including the rock
hard 'What Would You Do' and 'All That Scratching Is Making
Me Rich', laced with guitars and brass. Overall, 'The Ablist'
does not try to better the previous LP as such, it is just
like one of its track titles - 'Something Different'.
You can read another review of 'The Ablist' written by Hip-Hop
Domain at www.undergroundhiphop.com.
DEFARI 'Focused Daily' (Tommy Boy)
The amount of quality LPs coming from the west coast is
staggering. It seems that every month you hear accomplished
rap from that area, or maybe hear about a new mouth-watering
project set to storm the hip-hop world. Up step Defari Herut,
another westside warrior (?!?) with a bulging bag of skills.
'Focused Daily' is not quite as amazing as we'd hoped, but by
the same token it is not a slump of epic proportions. One
thing Defari has got right is the choice of producers - E-Swift,
Evidence and The Alchemist are all first-rate hip-hoppers. It
just seems a pity that it is the singles which seem to be the
best bits of this album - 'Bionic', 'People's Choice', 'Likwit
Connection' and 'Never Lose Touch' all sticking in the mind.
'Lowlands Anthem' offers nothing original and 'No Clue' is
just not very good. Overall, it's hard to make a decision about
this album. It's more something you would record off your mate
then go and spend your money on.
MOUNTAIN BROTHERS 'Self: Volume 1' (MB)
Think The Roots, Tribe and maybe a dash of Common and you've
got the Mountain Brothers. Self: Volume 1', the debut LP
from Peril L, Styles and Chops, oozes quality. It's innocent
simplicity is just so likeable. They do not need any guests
emcees or producers on here, they can do it all themselves...
and they can do it well. The lyrics cover amusing topics,
such as getting up late, being constipated and even Weight
Watchers. Another thing to say is that there are no loops
or things like that, Chops plays all the instruments with
consistent quality. It's sample free hip-hop, and it's very
good listening. 'Fluids' discusses our need to drink and
'Turntable Mathematics' is vibey with the electric organs,
while 'Love Poetry' hilariously flatters a girl by stating
'if you were a do-do, I would be your stink'. And there's
also the magnum opus 'Paperchase', which is just too darn
good to explain through writing. So go on, treat yourself,
buy a copy of 'Self'.
STYLES OF BEYOND '2000 Fold' (Bilawn)
If you don't know of Styles Of Beyond, it's hardly surprising.
They haven't created explosions in the hip-hop industry,
they've just seemingly crept up and dropped this LP '2000
Fold'. Consisting of Takbir and Ryu, SOB overcome a tricky
obstacle by making original music. DJ Rhettmatic of the
Beat Junkies lends a hand on 'Style Warz', and the
piano-driven 'Hollograms' swiftly follows, featuring a nice
verse from Space Boy Boogie X. The two stand out cuts from
'2000 Fold' are the single 'Killer Instinct' with Divine
Styler and the brilliant 'Spies Like Us'. The title of the
latter gives an idea of what it's like - a story told over
atmospheric production. 'Winnekta Exit' is delightfully
groovy too. The dexterity of DJ Revolution is found on 'Many
Styles', which seems like an ode to the guy. Styles have
also found space to have an outstanding 'Exile' intro and
a quick beatbox interlude from Click Tha Supah Latin.
But, despite all these positive aspects, '2000 Fold' is
likely to be overlooked by so many people. Be in touch
and support the crew, cause they are worthy.
PEANUT BUTTER WOLF 'My Vinyl Weighs A Ton' (Stones Throw)
Lengthy albums can sometimes be below par. 'Wu-Tang Forever'
was a bit patchy, and Biggie's 'Life After Death' contained
too many filler cuts. But now, here is a 24-track
masterpiece from Bay Area producer/DJ wonder Peanut Butter
Wolf. We had high hopes for this album, and it does not
disappoint one bit. The Wolf just provides all the beats,
and invites a top-notch set of guests to contribute their
things. The opener 'In Your Area' features the lyrical
tightness of Planet Asia, as does the solid 'Definition Of
Ill'. Dave Dub does well on 'Necromancin', suiting the
casual backing. DJ Babu of the Beat Junkies gives us an
entertaining scratch track with 'Casio', and DJ fanatics
should also check out the eight minute masterpiece that
is 'Tale Of Five Cities'. There's eleven turntablists all
on that track and it's fabulous. The skits are also well
done, especially 'Top Illin', a copy of Audio Two's 'Top
Billin'. That's just some of the reasons why 'My Vinyl
Weighs A Ton' stands as the first essential purchase of
1999. You have to get it.

DOCTOR DREOM I BAKA BOYSIMA U LA-JU
Next time you're in Los Angeles be sure to check out
KKBT 92.3 The Beat' because they're about to be off the
hook. It looks like they have now rounded up Hip Hop's
premier radio duos and added them to their roster.
Veteran morning show host Ed Lover has quit Hot 97 in
NY and will be reunited with partner Doctor Dre to do
mornings for KKBT. They will be replacing the popular
House Party which is being shuffled over it's sister
station Mega 100. The Baka Boyz who were rumored to do
mornings may now be headed to do afternoons to replace
the popular Theo. Apparently his ratings have been
dropping to the Baka Boyz when they were going against
him while at Power 106.
If all this falls into place KKBT will have an awesome
line up of Hip Hop's premier radio personalities. The
Baka Boyz, Ed Lover & Doctor Dre and Sway & King Tech
in addition to being mainstays within Hip Hop, were
also among the first Hip Hoppers to do morning drive
radio shows. In addition KKBT has BET's Big Lez,
rap star, The Poetess, former Hip Hop TV host Dominique
Diprima and former KDAY personality Julio G. If that's
not enough former rap star Dorsey Fuller of the now
defunct group O6 Style is The Beat's music director.
All these folks are now all under one roof. Hopefully
they will have free reign to put forth the music that
helped put them all on the map.

AVGUSTOVSKI HUMANITARNI KONCERT CRNIH IZVODJACA USPEO
This past weekend artist like Common, Black Star's Mos Def
and Talib Kweli, Black Thought of the Roots, Fat Joe and
the Terror Squad, DJ Tony Touch, Les Nubians, and even
legendary proto-rap vocalist-poet Gil Scott-Heron descended
upon Bowery Ballroom in New York City for the second annual
Black August benefit concert. This benefit was set to help
the legal and educational campaigns of political prisoners.
It was also designed to to help set the stage for the
upcoming Cuban Rap Festival which is set later on this
month in Havana. Many of the artist on this bill will
appear in Cuba later this month for the 5th Annual Cuban
Rap Festival where they will be joined by other artists
and a cadre of Cuban rappers. The money raised will go
toward building a studio and a public Hip Hop library in
Cuba. The Black August Benefit Concert will also raise
money for the legal and educational campaigns underway
on behalf of the estimated 100 men and women currently
incarcerated within the United States or living in exile
because of their political beliefs. Black August puts
forth the idea that it is not only important for the
hip hop community to be aware of these men and women,
but that we all recognize the link between the rights
of political dissidents - whether living in the
United States or in Cuba - to express their political
beliefs and our own rights to be free from censorship,
police harassment, and governmental control. This year's
concert seeks to firmly connect the Hip Hop generations
of Cuba and The US. There is talk that Sway & Tech may
broadcast the August 27th concert from Havana. I
personally haven't gotten any confirmation on that as
of yet.

FAT JOE I DJ PREMIER & KOOL G RAP...
Fat Joe is definitely the man of the hour. Above and
beyond his successful rapping career, the unofficial
King Of New York has been making some major business
moves within the rap game. As he gets set to release
the Terror Squad album within the next few weeks on his
own Terror Squad records, he has been gobbling up other
Hip Hop talent. By now everyone knows he manages Big
Pun, but now he just inked a deal with DJ Premier of
Gang Starr to do a mixtape compilation lp. It will
probably be something alone the lines of what Sway &
King Tech just did when they dropped their lp 'This
Or That'. For those who don't know, Fat Joe and Premier
go way back when Premier worked on Fat Joe's 1993 debut
lp 'Represent'. If that wasn't enough, Fat Joe picked
up one of Hip Hop's most talented emcees Kool G Rap.
Hopefully under Fat Joe's direction the ultimate
Hip Hop story teller can return to his old prime time
form.

HIP HOP WAS ILLEGAL
by KRS-One
Why is it important to know Hip Hop? Most people look
at Hip Hop as music where you have some guy rhyming on
a stage or something. But why is it important to know
Hip Hop or to even be associated with Hip Hop? You will
notice that most knowledge in the world tries to either
relieve human suffering in a philosophical sense, or it
predicts what's going on. Hip Hop is at the heights of
that. Not only does knowing Hip Hop relieve human
suffering, but knowing it or having the sight and
awareness that Hip Hop has, gives you the ability to
predict what's going to happen in the inner cities before
it happens.
For many years various magazine publications have attempted
to document and interpret the forward movement of Hip Hop
from a traditionally objective perspective. This objectivity
although useful in the field of journalism proves poor as a
general method in interpreting the consciousness of Hip Hop
for Hip Hoppers. Between the years of 1988 to 1998, rap
publications of all styles relied on journalist to be
objective when documenting Hip Hop as opposed to being
Hip Hop. Such was their academic training. However, Hip Hop
as with many popular cultures is unique in the sense that
accurately documenting it's culture requires its
interpreters to participate in its expression. This is very
important. If you can't do it, you can't interpret it. What
Hip Hop is going through is that people who have no idea
what it is or how to do it are interpreting for the rest
of the world. Hip Hop has yet to speak for itself. The
journalistic senses toward Hip Hop mirrored the mainstream
senses of Black and Latino youth which are; we are violent
criminals, helpless, hopeless, untrustworthy, dangerous to
be around but nonetheless great entertainment.
What they interpreted as Hip Hop was really emceeing which
they later labeled 'rap'. Breaking' was labeled 'break
dancing'. Pieces, burning, bombing and tagging' were all
lumped together as graffiti art. Early Hip Hop owned no
monthly publication, video countdown or Saturday night
master mix. In it's early days it could not interpret
itself for itself and those with the resources to
interpret it did so with no interest in Hip Hop's creative
intelligence. In other words, no one asked 'How do you
develop the language you're speaking?' All most journalist
wanted to know was 'Yo man, how are you getting so much
money doing that?'
Keep in mind, in the early days, Hip Hop was illegal.
When I started, I started as a graffiti artist and it
was illegal. Rap music was illegal. It started off at
block parties and became more sophisticated as the years
went on, mainly because of the aggression Hip Hop was
facing early on. These early parties were done out in
places in the Bronx like 123 Park or Cedar Park. These
were the early areas where an emcee and deejay dual
would come out and plug into the street light. That
instantly made it illegal. But more so then that,
when we started rhyming and a deejay started
'cutting' (records), this weird and unusual noise
out in the parks began to aggravate people.
Shockingly enough it didn't aggravate the police, it
aggravated our parents. THE FIRST OPPRESSORS OF
HIP HOP WERE OUR PARENTS!
Early Hip Hop starts in a small Black and Latino community
where the older Black and Latino generations says 'No.
That's not the representation of Black people or of Latino
people. This is something you kids ain't supposed to be
doing and on top of that you can't make a living with
that'. They would insist that we go to school, go to army
or go to college. But a few Hip Hoppers said 'No we believe
in this'. This is why we pay respect to the past. Kool
Herc, Afrika Bambaataa, Grandmaster Flash... These are the
seminal figures in Hip Hop culture. Not just rap music but
in the whole culture of Hip Hop which includes the thinking,
the dress, the language-the whole thing. This is why we
pay them respect because when they were doing it, it was
illegal. They could've said 'Yo man I'm not going to jail
for this'. Instead they said 'I believe in this'. Or they
said 'We believe in ourselves so much that we're gonna
keep doing this'. These people in this society, doing
their own things, feeling this vibe started to make the
society act a certain way around them.
From 1970 to 1978 Hip Hop was just up in the Bronx. It was
only practiced in the Bronx and the only way you could get
to hear it was if you got a tape from one of those parties
in the Bronx. Somewhere around '78 or '79, Hip Hop left
the Bronx and exploded all over New York. And from there
you get a guy named Grandmaster Caz who's from the Bronx
who wrote a song which turned out to be 'Rapper's Delight'
When Sugar Hill Records put out 'Rapper's Delight', Hip Hop
wasn't illegal anymore. That's the significance of Rapper's
Delight.
In 1979 when Rapper's Delight sold 2 million records, all
of a sudden Hip Hop wasn't illegal anymore. As a matter of
fact us graffiti artist started getting paid to do graffiti.
All of a sudden the bodegas (corner grocery stores) would
come to us and say 'Do a mural on the side of our store to
advertise our stuff'. We said 'Cool, we love doing this
stuff anyway. Plus you're gonna give us two hundred dollars
for this? Come on let's make this happen.'
So we get out there and start doing our thing. This was in
1979. Ten years later in 1989 there are graffiti art
galleries. I already explained emceeing. But still even
though white America was saying 'Yo what's that? ' Or
'Wow did you see that?' Black America was going 'Don't
do that!' 'Don't say that'. Don't dress like that' and
Don't talk like that'. So we Hip Hoppers were faced with
a whole new dilemma. The white man was no longer the enemy.
Why?.....

JESSE JACKSON'S HIP HOP SUMMIT: HOCEMO LI IKADA BITI ZAJEDNO?
I just got back from a well attended Rainbow Push Conference which
was held in Chicago this past week. The theme was 'Building Bridges'
which is an important concept to embrace as we head into the New
Millennium. I applaud Reverend Jackson for getting everyone under the
sun, from Vice President Al Gore to Secretary of Labor Alexis Herman
to Kwanza founder Dr Maulana Karenga to discuss a variety of
pertinent issues like School Violence, Gun Policy, Police Brutality
and our connection to Africa to name a few. This year there were a
number of CEOs and business types on hand including the founders of
the FUBU clothing line who were presented with the 'Entrepreneurs Of
The Year Award'. I also applaud Rainbow/Push Staff member Simon Green
who organized the Hip Hop panel, for realizing the important role and
impact Hip Hop has within our community and for trying to bridge a
glaring generation gap. It was indeed quite impressive. However,
where the convention may have built bridges in numerous arenas, it
failed miserably in the world of Hip Hop.

Nije stvar u tome sto su ove dve pesme "malo komercijalnije".
Npr. KRS je poslednji svoj album 'I Got Next' prodao u
platinastom tirazu, ali nema nikakve veze sa tipom
komercijalnosti koji ima Puffy... Da, ja bih voleo da
je hip hop muzika ostala u undergroundu, ali prvenstveno
mislim na tematski underground... znaci, socijalni,
angazovani tekstovi, etc. Znaci, da ljudi rade ono
sto su radili i pre prvog platinastog tiraza...
Npr. Puffy u svom singlu 'PE 2000' na prozivke kako samo
radi obrade, kako je previse komercijalan, etc. - odgovara
pesmom koja je i sama obrada (Public Enemy - PE No.1)!
Ista je stvar i sa pesmom 'Hate Me Now' - za instrumental
je uzeta vec izvakana 'Carmina Burana'...
Znaci, pitanje je da li zelis od hip hop-a da te pokrene
da igras ('Puff Daddy's gonna make you dance'), ili zelis
da nesto prvenstveno cujes ('One Day It'll All Make Sense'
(c) Common), sto i jeste odlika koja je u ovoj crnoj
muzici uvek bila na prvom mestu... druga je stvar sto
u poslednje vreme sve vise pocinje da zaostaje (iako
neki mladi ljudi koji dolaze, npr. Canibus, Eminem...
stavljaju akcenat upravo na recima).
Ne znam da li si slusao prethodni album Rootsa 'Illadelph...',
ali tu ima jedna fantasticna pesma 'What They Do', za koju
je uradjen i odlican spot - parodija na novije hip-hop
spotove u kojima se pojavljuju besna kola, gole devojke,
case sa sampanjcem... ako je nisi cuo obavezno je poslusaj.
A kada je njegov komentar na Pacov singl u pitanju,
uglavnom se sa njim slazem... Ako jos jednom pazljivo
procitas ono sto je covek napisao, videces da on ne
pljuje Shakura... Jednostavno, glupo je objavljivati
stvari koje je on za zivota odbacio kao nedovoljno
dobre, i koje su uglavnom lose ili osrednje... Te
stvari objavljuju ljudi koji su videli da mogu i
od mrtvog pevaca da zarade grne pare. Reci cu ti
podatak da je za sada, posle njegove smrti
objavljeno vise njegovih pesama nego sto ih je on
izbacio za zivota... a sprema se jos mnogo njih.
Npr. U poslednje vreme u USA izlazi mnogo kompilacija
sa razlicitim hip hop izvodjacima na njima - najvecim
slovima stavljaju na reklami 'FEATURING 2(3,4,5...)
UNRELEASED SONGS FROM LEGENDARY TUPAC SHAKUR'...
Po mom misljenju - glupost.
Procitaj KRS-ov tekst koji sam skoro zakacio u Konferenciji,
i procitaces ono sto bih ti i ja rekao.

JERMAINE DUPRI OTVARA SPORTSKU MENADZMENTSKU KOMPANIJU
Congratulations are in order for Jermaine Dupris. He's borrowing
a page from Master P by opening up his own sports management
company. Damn! JD has come a long ways. I remember when he used
to dance for Whodini, now look at the young brotha! In any case,
his new agency is called 'Def Sports Management Company'. JD has
joined forces with Premier Sports Management and thus far he has
a roster of 15 athletes including Green Bay Packer running back
Dorsey Levens, Indianapolis Colts cornerback Tyrone Poole and
Pittsburg Steelers saftey Lethon Flowers to name a few.
Jermaine Dupris joins an increasing growing list of rap stars
who have made it a point to open up other businesses aside from
rapping. It appears that many artists are coming to understand
the importance of having something to fall back on. Hopefully
JD's management skills which have netted him so much success
with his record company, will translate over onto the sports
arena.

POVRATAK MC HAMMER-A
This past weekend marked the 12th annual KMEL Allstar Summer
Jam. Hip Hoppers like Nas, Missy Elliott, Q-Tip, Busta Rhymes,
Outkast, Mac Mall, TWDY, The Whoridas, Naughty By Nature, Puff
Daddy and MC Hammer. Almost all the acts dropped bombs. Nas had
the capacity crowd of 22 thousand on their fight during his
entire set. Folks just lost it when he brought Puffy on stage
to perform 'Hate Me Now'. Outkast did an excellent job
headlining. During their after show interview, they made it
clear that they were the originators of the phrase 'Hootie
Hoo'. I like Master P but some of his biting can be a bit
blatant.. Who do you think he'll bite from next?
While everyone did their best to throw down, the man of the hour
was MC Hammer. Lately the man has been making major moves. He has
a new album ready to drop. We've been playing a couple of tracks
off it already. He just landed a job as a sports commentator for
local talk station KGO. He does the pre-game announcements for
the SF 49ers. His first bit was this past Thursday and I will
have to be honest, Hammer sounded really good and refreshing.
On a side note, I'm a bit puzzl htomach
doing 49er commentaries when he's die hard Oakland Raider fan.
Everyone here in the Bay knows you can't hang with both teams.
It's either one or the other. But that's another story.
Anyway, during his set at Allstar Summer Jam, Hammer absolutely
turned the place upside down. From the moment he hit the
stage he had the place rocking. He started off with a couple of
his new songs to warm up the crowd and then he launched into his
classic jams like ' Let's Get It Started', 'Its All Good',
'2 Legit To Quit', and Can't Touch This'. The crowd went
bananas. So hyped was Hammer's show, that Mr Sean Puffy Combs
emerged from his dressing room and stood on the side lines to
'peep game'. I don't care what anyone says.. Puffy is the Hammer
of the late 90s. It was a remarkable comeback for MC Hammer.

"Come one, come all to the digital download ball. At Rapstation,
our goal is to empower artist, so they can break free from the
Matrix. The internet will change the record industry as we know
it today.
The average contract a record company offers an artist is

dynamics by offering true partnerships. Artist will truly be
able to get 30%, 40% or even 50 % deals, with the artist sharing
in the ownership of the masters or even owning their masters.
The internet will force the industry to make monumental changes.
We want to provide artists with valuable information about the
record industry and how this new technology can enable you to
connect with a Rap and Hip Hop audience that is under served.
We will break down the wall of silence and provide a forum
through our message boards where artist can share and speak
about their concerns. Rapstation is opening new levels of
access and communication.

PUFFY NAPUSTIO RADIO STANICU U TOKU INTERVJUA...
Sean Puffy Combs aka Puff Daddy aka P-Diddy ran into some slight
problems this weekend when he visited the Bay Area to promote his
new lp 'Forever' Here's a letter from a regular reader breaking
down what happened...
{MsShonda...writes}
"Just when the PhD holders had ceased fire on Puffy, the unexpected
occurred here in the Bay Area. This morning on local station
Wild 94.9, dj JV asked Puffy about his thoughts on how you don't
see west coast rappers on the nationwide circuit like MTV or Hot97
(in NY). Well, that question just set it off. Puffy initially
(although obviously annoyed) tried to brush it off with the fact
that he doesn't run MTV or Hot97 and has no control over their
play list. Apparently the more he thought about it the more it
angered him. Over and over JV (the dj) tried to explain that he
realized that Puffy wasn't responsible, but he wanted his opinion
on the subject. During the break (they replayed later), Puff began
insulting the dj by calling him a "clown". That was the end of the
interview and JV (along with other radio personalities) said Puff
Daddy got up and left after cursing the dj out and according to the
staff threatening him. Maybe anger management classes are needed???
MsShonda...
Now most of this true but here's the other side of the story. I
spoke with Puff and his people and he maintains that there were no
threats ever made. He was indeed annoyed with the radio jocks who
he felt were attempting get a cheap rise out of him by some how
implying that he was the reason more Bay Area artist weren't
getting nationwide love. The attacks on him were totally unfair
and off color. What really set things off was the fact that Puffy
had visited our radio station prior to coming to KYLD which is
the number #1 station in the market. Their morning show decided
to take some live callers on air and one of their listeners gave
Puffy a lot of love and told him that she would be attending KMEL
Allstar Jam concert to see him perform. This got the KYLD deejays
pissed who then turned around and started badgering Puff about
the East/West coast conflict. The conversation as I heard it
tried to paint a picture as if Puffy was the reason West Coast
artist weren't getting played on MTV and Hot 97 in NY. It wasn't
until Puff got annoyed that the KYLD jocks began to 'cleanup'
and re-clarify their statements. The conversation was totally
ridiculous and in many ways irresponsible when you consider all
the drama that has taken place over the past couple of years.
There are still a lot of people who see Bad Boy as somehow
responsible for 2Pac's death and hence Bad Boy artist have to
always take special precautions when comeing to The West Coast
especially Cali. Rather then engage in anymore downhill
conversation, Puff got up and left the studio. The KYLD deejays
then came back and maintained that they were trying to represent
West Coast artists and that Puffy had threatened to 'kick their
asses'. The whole scenario seemed like a publicity stunt which
would be in line with the type of things KYLD is known for doing.
Puff gets props for rolling through the Bay Area and attempting
to promote his new lp 'Forever'. He been attempting to to 'keep
it real' by making himself accessible. He's been making public
appearances and unannounced calls to local mix show djs to both
thank them and talk to them about music. He also got busy on
stage with Nas during this weekend's Allstar Summer Jam and
ripped the song 'Hate Me Now'. His new lp is pretty cool as he
has tracks with Jay-Z, Lil Kim & Biggie, Redman,Cee-Lo of the
Goodie Mob, Sauce Money, Busta Rhymes and R.Kelly. The R.Kelly
song was interesting and will raise quite a few eyebrows due to
the fact that it samples from the popular song 'I Got Five On It'
by the Luniz. I will admit I was a little taken back when I
heard the song due to the blatant 'bite', however, Puff noted
privately that he was trying to get a hold of the Luniz for
something special. No doubt it has something to do with this
new song. Perhaps the Luniz will be in the video or added to
on a remix... We'll have to wait and see.
Lastly Puff mentioned that he just launched his new website
http://www.puffdaddy.com . He noted that he ran into problems
obtaining his name due to the fact that some unscrupulous person
brought his domain name and later wanted to sell it back. That
seems to be the new hustle these days.. find a superstar or
celebrity and buy up their website name and make them buy it
back.. This recently happened to SF Mayor Willie Brown. One of
his political opponents brought up the domain name
'williebrown.com and 'damayor.com' name.. This also happened to
Sway & King Tech for the Wake Up Show. Folks beware-protect your
domain names.

ISTINA BOLI
There's a lot of noise and controversy brewing over a record that
has just come out by New Jersey based rapper LP. It's called 'The
Truth', and here LP rips into just about every major rap star
that's on the map. He starts out by rapping about Ice Cube and
his Westside Connection. He notes that they should be on the WB.
He comes back and rips into E-40 by saying his style is so
annoying he needs to be smacked. He calls DMX 'big headed' and
Foxy Brown a man. He talks about Snoop and how skinny he is...
He tells Noreaga that he sounds much better without Capone. The
lyrical assault continues with LP screaming on Cam'ron and how
wack he's become. He talks about how Charli Baltimore 'sucks...
No really you suck!'. The chorus chirps 'If Your Wack Your
Wack-If You Suck You Suck-The Truth Hurts'. Now there's no doubt
this is a gimmick type song that's in line with the blazing new
joint by rap star 50 Cent entitled 'How To Rob An Industry Nigga'.
Here 50 Cent does a humorous song in which he fantasizes about
running up and bucking down all of today's rap stars..
The LP record has caused a sea of controversy. Here on the West
Coast folks don't take to lightly to dis records. While many may
see the LP cut as a battle record, others are taking it personal.
For example, LP's remarks about E-40 and Snoop prompted folks to
call the station and issue threats. What's ironic, is both E-40
and Snoop have been in lyrical battles and have never shied away
from such challenges. I personally thought the record was funny..
Peep for it because it will likely show up in your mail box real
soon. Just don't expect LP to do any record signings any time soon.

With Hip Hop celebrating it's 20 year anniversary, everyone is
scrambling to document and archive things. For example, Cleveland's
Rock N Roll Hall of Fame is set to host a conference around Sept
10-12th as they will open up an exhibit and get the ball rolling to
acknowledge and eventually admit rappers into the Hall Of Fame.
Since you have to wait 25 years from the release of your first album,
it may take some time for some artists to get placed. The Cleveland
conference will feature Chuck D and KRS-One giving key note speeches.
Meanwhile back in Mount Vernon New York which was home to Puff Daddy
and Heavy D, Mayor Ernest Davis is set to turn an abandoned firehouse
into a Hip Hop Hall Of Fame..The Mayor has already gotten a 50
thousand dollar grant to get the ball rolling. He plans to open the
museum in the heart of the city's toughest neighborhood as part of
his urban renewal strategy.
Historically speaking, others have laid down crucial groundwork for
a Hip Hop Hall of Fame. Most notable is Media Assassin Harry Allen
who several years ago launched the Rhythm Cultural Institute {RCI}...
Harry went so far as to not only research the whole concept and
methodology behind properly doing a Hall of Fame.. He even moderated
and hosted seminars under the RCI banner. Years before folks were
even up on the whole internet thing, Harry had put out a Hip Hop
newspaper called Rap Dot Com, led a panel discussion during the New
Music Seminar on Music and the Internet. He even recorded a song on
Public Enemy's album called Harry Allen's Super Information Highway.
He was definitely years ahead of the curve and hopefully anyone
planning to do a Hip Hop Hall Of Fame will no doubt contact him for
advice and his assistance..
Finally we took an online poll to see who you would like to see in

ZATVARAJU SE HIP HOP KLUBOVI
Blaze.com noted that Tramps Nite club in New York are set to
close their doors on September 24th. There was no reason for
the closing but the owner Steve Weitzman says it will be
permanent. Tramps in case you don't know has been the place
to be for many legendary Hip Hop shows. While New Yorkers are
recovering from this loss, Northern Cali has just lost it's
premier Black owned club Geoffry's Inner Circle. He closed
his doors this weekend and will reopen sometime in 2000 with
a whole new look and feel. Gone will be the nightly dancing.
It will reopen as a show venue designed to house and attract
top notch acts which it already had been doing. So on one
hand it will be good to have a nice show venue and an owner
who isn't afraid to book acts. On the other hand, the lose
of Geoffrey's leaves the Bay Area with only one or two venues
that caters to a Black audience. In addition Geoffrey Pete
the owner has given a large number of up and coming, artists,
promoters and organizations a shot at making some money with
his club. He's was one of the few owners who has successfully
stood up to outside forces which have been relatively
successful in shutting down nite spots that cater to a Black
audience. There's the Oaktree Bar & Grill in Oakland and Riffs
in Milpitas/San Jose. We wish Geoffrey Pete much success. We
hope NY finds another place to take the place of Tramps.

SOURCE AWARDS...
I've always been a firm believer of giving respect where due..
The Source Awards which many of you will see tonight [Fri Aug
20 1999] on UPN gets major props. Let me quote rap star Busta
Rhymes who I ran into today. He spoke passionately about the
fact that for the first time in his illustrious music career
he was treated with respect and 'catered to'. "It felt good to
be treated like a superstar', he said. By that he meant that
he was allowed all the tools and trimmings that he needed to
perform. Busta put on an excellent show, complete with
pyro-technics and all. More importantly, he won an award and
found himself going up against people who truly reflected
todays current Hip Hop scene. Nothing was diluted. This was
a welcome change for a man who has been a part of all sorts
of award shows ranging from The Grammys to the MTV Music
Awards. Ice T shared similar sentiments when he noted that
the only time he got a chance to win some sort of award was
when he did a project with Quincy Jones..

KRATKE VESTI...
Chuck D of Public Enemy is working on a major project that is
sure to literally flip the script.. Stay close for further
details.. But the man is about to blow up and have a huge
prescence real soon... Trust me..
KRS-One has set up his Temple Of Hip Hop in LA as well as the
Bay Area. He has a bunch of folks representing him including
the Bay Area's Iesha Bilal. Props to her. For those who don't
know, Iesha and her brother Muhammed [MTV's Real World-SF] have
been putting in work for years for Hip Hop. With Iesha hooking
up with KRS things will be quite lovely.. On a side note.. KRS
says he's real happy living in LA.. BET was following him around
when I saw him. He did a under promoted show in Reseda California
with Big Daddy Kane and Biz Markie. They all got off and show
and proved they still have mad skillz..
Shorty of The Lynch Mob has started his own record label called
Bow Tie Records. His new lp is entitled 'Short Stories' and is
set to drop real soon. He hooked up with a Swedish born producer
named Polar Bear who seems to be the talk of the town in LA right
now. Shortie did some tracks with Kam, James Debarge and up and
coming act Don Silver..
Bad news for Noreaga, Black Rob and Bizzie Bone.. While here
in LA.. Nore gor robbed at gun point for all his jewels. He went
outside his hotel for a smoke and got jacked. This is an
increasing growing trend-to rob rap stars. Wearing jewels is
like wearing the old expensive Corte Field Sheepskin coats like
we did back in the days..Wearing such flashy items make you an
unnecessary target for knucklheads.
Bizzie also got robbed at gunpoinmt from some one fitting the
same description as Nore's assailants..Black Rob broke out of
town when he discovered that his hotel was being surrounded
2Pac's old group The Immortal Outlaws.
WC is putting it down for his new label Affilaited Records with
CJ Mack. His new lp is called 'Ghetto Hiesman' Here he
collaborated with Jermain Dupri, DMX, and Rage
Props to The Poetess aka Felicia for helping put together the
Day In The West. It was truly history in the makng and very
inspiring. Everyone from JJ Fad to YoYo to Rodney O showed up
to downtown LA. It was absolutely incredible..and a bit
overwhelming..I saw all sorts of heads like Tone Loc and The
Boo Yaa Trybe.

tupac-ovog singla 'changes' nisu nishta novo...
tekst za ovaj singl je sastavljan od delova tekstova
pesama sa albuma 'R U Still Down? [remeber me]'...
najvishe je teksta uzeto iz pesme 'I Wonder If A Heaven
Got A Ghetto'... ubedljivo najvishe...
tako da mi je bilo malo smeshno kad sam prvi put chuo

Slazem se, ali kolika je pristupacnost tim drugim likovima?
Koliko su KRS, EPMD, NWA, Rakim, poznati i pristupacni siroj
slusateljskoj publici? Tu je kvaka. Pitaj prosecnog_slusatelja
da li je ikada cuo za Eric B-a, i da li je ikada cuo za Puff Daddya?
Zamisljas li odgovor?
Ono sto hocu da kazem je, da nije bilo likova poput Tupac-a,
Warren G-a, Puff Daddya, Dre-a, Snoop-a itd... i da nije bilo
njihovog osobenog rap-a prilagodjenog odredjenom odnosno
vrlo sirokom spektru slusalaca i publike, veliki deo nas se ne
bi ni zainteresovao za rap kulturu, a samim tim i za neke mnogo
bitnije cinioce poput vec gore spomenutih KRS-a, EPMD-a i os..
Sto se tice samog Puff Daddya, kapiram da je jedna od bitnih
stavki u pravljenju rap stvari originalnost, ali mozda i rimejk
filma moze docarati gledaocu ono sto nije uspeo original, i
mozda ce se to i svideti gledaocu.
U slucaju Puffya, ono _svideti se_, je aksiom. Svaki singl je u
vrhu top lista, svaki album ima platinaste tiraze, njegovi puleni
odnosno zvezde njegove kuce takodje imaju slicne tiraze i...
pronasao je put do svoje publike.
I znam, obrada je ipak obrada, ali ako neko odradi stvari na nacin
da se te obrade prodaju u 5 miliona primeraka, ja ne znam sta da
uradim, osim da coveku skinem kapu.

Znas kako, nisam ni rekao da pljuje vec ima rezon koji je meni
potpuno nerazumljiv i nelogican. To sto je Tupac odbacio neku
stvar ne znaci da ta stvar nije zasluzila da se objavi.
Pa recimo da je i Ceca Slavkovic odbijala da na svoj album stavi
hit "Dlanom o dlan" dok je na to nisu naterali saradnici i menadzer,
a...prodala je celu plocu zahvaljujuci upravo toj najjacoj stvari. ;)
E, sad, sto se tice Tupac-a i (ne)ovlascenog objavljivanja mnogih
pesama, tu sam skeptican. Ono, zar Afeni Shakur nije osnovala
izdavacku kucu, zar nije dobila spor protiv Death Row-a i konacno,
zar nema mogucnost zabrane objavljivanja pesama pokojnog Tupac-a
od raznih plagijatora i lopova?
Mislim da bi ona bila poslednja koja bi nesto tako dozvolila, a
kompilacije koje se pojavljuju iz dana u dan su verujem, divljacki
nasnimavane i ko zna kako radjene, i zato im ni ne bi pridavao toliku
paznju.

(dobro, ne bas istih;>> Zato jer ne zahtevaju da se u njihovo

hip-hopu kad je negativan. Ne mislim priotm na sliku droge, oruzja i nasilja
koja se pojavi pred ocima prosecnog roditelja kad cuje rec rap, vec na sam

interpretatora. Koja od ovih osobina krasi 2Pac, BIGa i slicne?

Suvise komplikovano i neozbiljno da bi bilo istinito.
Sto se tice toga, Scott Gordon, Ouklendski radio DJ,
sto bi se reklo, momak iz stare skole je rekao:
" 'Pac made a deal with the Devil. 'Pac had everything. He got shot
in New York and lived. He talked shit about some of the biggest
motherfuckers in New York and lived. He went to jail, got out on
money that Suge Knight gave up. Cars, gold, girls, women, he
worked with the biggest artist in the country, movies.
He had everything in his hands. And to me, that's something that
Devil gives you. God don't give you all that. Especially, if you sit
there and worship money. Money is not what God gives you, it's
what the Devils gives you."
Zamerio se mnogima, da li Andersonu, suprotnim bandama, Puffyu i
Biggiu ili nekom drugom vise nije ni bitno.
Sto kaze grafit ispod njegovog portreta na jednom od zgrada
juznog L.A.-a: " Live by the gun, die by the gun!".

Da, sasvim ocigledno... :) Sretao sam i na Mrezi
zaludjene Shakurove fanove koji i dalje veruju u
ovu teoriju (koju je inace prvi izneo DJ Red Alert
u svojoj emisiji nekoliko dana posle Pacove smrti,
ali je se i on odrekao nekoliko meseci nakon toga).
Slicna situacija kao i posle Elvisove smrti - neki
i dalje veruju da je on ziv... A ja, ja bih
parafrazirao reci jednog mog cyber_frienda Sly-ja
(underground hip hop producent i vlasnik
globalhiphop.com-a) - 'Let the man rest in peace!'.
Mogao bih da nadjem i posaljem ovde onu cuvenu
sliku sa Shakurove obdukcije, ali opet ce ljudi

Hmm... ja sam imao tu srecu da je prvi hip hop album koji
sam kupio bio Public Enemy - 'Apocalipse '91: The Enemy
Strikes Black'. Naravno, kasnije sam slusao i Warren G-ja
(1st album only), Dre-a (1st album only), Snoop-a (1st
album only), dok je moja jedina dodirna tacka sa Puffy-jem
njegova produkcija na albumima Mary J. Blige i jos nekim
singlovima drugih izvodjaca koji nisu u Bad Boy-u...
Verovatno si u pravu... neki su zbog njih poceli da
slusaju hip hop, ali mislim da bi bilo bolje da su
'evoluirali' na visi nivo 'Hrama Hip Hop-a' (c) KRS,
i da su sa tih kasnije presli na neke druge stvari,
po mom misljenju bolje stvari... Verujem da bi im se
svidele.

Pazi, jedan rimejk je OK... dva mogu da prodju - ali

to ne nekih malo poznatih filmova, vec mega hitova?

Posto sam ja po odabranoj profesiji producent, sa te
tacke gledista mu skidam kapu... to sam govorio i posle
Sourceovog izbora za najboljeg producenta svih vremena
gde je on pobedio. Ako uzmemo za prvi cilj producentskog
posla da se ostvari neki profit, onda je on zaista tu
prvi... Ali ako govorim kao obican slusalac - kacket mi
ostaje na glavi.

Da li bi ti voleo da tvoja deca ne postuju tvoj

Ja nigde nisam rekao da se te pesme (ne)ovlasceno
objavljuju... Jednostavno, Afeni nije vlasnica svih
pesama koje su ostale iza njenog sina. Postoji mali
milion pesama u kojima je bio gost drugih izvodjaca,
i tu on (tj. Death Row) nije imao nikakvih vlasnickih
prava... E, takve se pesme pojavljuju (npr. sa
Bizzy-jem, Shyhiem-om, E-40-jem...).
Naravno, postoji i dosta nelegalno izdatih
underground kompilacija i mixtapeova sa njegovim
neobjavljenim pesmama, na Mrezi ima na desetine
site-ova sa njegovim pesmama... To bi Afeni, npr.
mogla da zabrani, ali je to malo teze jer ide
'pacovskim kanalima'...

Da, to je nazalost tacno... Medjutim, kada je album PE-ja
'It Takes nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back' (inace, izabran
za najbolji album hip hop-a do sada) izasao, ovde kod nas
bilo je malo ljudi koji su slusali hip hop (zaista zanemarljiv
broj kada se uporedi sa sadasnjim...), ali je ipak taj album
i ovde postao kultni... Zbog cega? Zbog toga sto se svideo
urbanoj domacoj publici koja je tada slusala rock...
Ista je stvar sa Erick B & Rakim-om, i njihovim albumom
'Paid In Full' koji se tada, kada je radio B92 tek pocinjao
redovno vrteo u njihovom programu... a ljudi koji su tada

Znaci, hip hop mora da dokaze da je i on urbana vrsta muzike,

"A Queen with a crown / Down for whatever..."
The almighty matriarch of hip hop soul gets realer than real about fans,
fear, and fighting for her life.
PHOTOGRAPHED BY MARC BAPTISTE JUNE 10, 1999
AT SUN STUDIO AND HOTEL W, NEW YORK CITY
Mary's music-1992's auspicious What's the 411? (Uptown/MCA), 1993's
What's the 411? (remix album, Uptown/MCA), 1994's impeccable My Life
(Uptown/ MCA), 1997's expansive Share My World (MCA), her surprisingly
fluid 1998 live album, The Tour (MCA), and now, Mary (MCA)-is all
crammed with hopelessness and fury. And still there's room for
expectancy and desire. Hardcore, dewy-eyed Cinderella fantasies. The
kind of loneliness that can't be alleviated by anything except the
guy in question. And then, when his presence is not even the real
prescription, all you've got is what you believe to be the absolute
horror of self. Fun, right? Yes, yes, y'all: Real Love.
This is Mary J. Blige music. And except for within the confines of
the bedroom or the barroom, who thinks romantic antics a worthy
subject? What boy reading this isn't already bored? What girl isn't
already sucking her teeth, boyfriend in tow, sniffing at what is
(for her, this month) unnecessary Mary melodrama? Mary J. Blige has
already said it was her life, but really it's mine. And yours. And
your baby's mama's.

BAD BROAD
by: Mark Allwood
Eighteen-year old Paris Ly-nell Fluellen, a.k.a. Cha Cha, looks
tired. She's been going through the usual ups and downs of
touring--misplaced luggage, drama with hotels, the list goes
on. The young lyricist is in New York City on this rainy,
gloomy day as part of Ginuwine's U.S. tour and is also
promoting her debut album, Dear Diary, due out July 27.
Contrary to the pictures I've seen,
Cha Cha looks very youthful. But after sitting down and
talking, the Detroit-raised, Atlanta resident proves she's
mature well beyond her years.
Although she's only 18-year's-old, Cha Cha has years of
rapping experience. "I was 11 [when I first started rhyming].
It was just something that we did for fun, but then I just
developed a love for it. It was boosting my confidence." At
13, she realized she had talent and decided to take music
seriously, at which point her and a female friend started
a group. Her friend deviated from the plan. Cha Cha stayed
focused.
Her persistence culmimated in a record deal with Noontime/Epic.
She assembled some of today's biggest names on her debut album.
Nas, Trick Daddy, Juvenile, Kelly Price, Ja Rule and Memphis
Bleek make appearances on Dear Diary, and production maven
Derick "D-Dot" Angellettie and newcomer Shekspeare (TLC's "No
Scrubs") contributed tracks to the project. In a day and age
when most collaborations are done by recording a verse and
shipping it to the artist, Cha Cha was able to actually vibe
with most of the guests on her album in the studio. "It says
a lot about me on their behalf. Once I got to know them and
work with them, we realized it was more than just a check at
the end of the day. It was like a mutual respect."
Respect is something Cha Cha has been earning for some time
now. She spent her formative years coming up in Detroit's
notorious Hip Hop Shop, owned by fashion designer Maurice
Malone. The Hip Hop Shop held MC battles every Saturday and
allowed people like Eminem and Royce the 5'9 to hone their
skills. "I used to be in [the Hip Hop Shop] all the time
but the thing was, I used to have this motto, you think
big be big. So I never was a big fan of doing a lot of
local events. I was saving every penny [for] a trip to
New York or wherever."
Cha Cha is quick to point out that she, like many other
women, use her sexuality as an asset rather than a selling
tool. "I'm a feminist, I represent us to the tee. My thing
is be a bad broad about everything you do. A lot of my
music is directed towards females. I'm bigging us up in a
way of self respect, but not too political cause it's a
street wise type of thing, so I love that."

Bez obzira sto se to tebi ili meni ne svidja, Pac, Biggie,
Puffy, Jermain Dupri... pripadaju hip hop-u. Na to treba da
gledas sa druge strane - sa hip hop-om trenutno nesto nije
u redu...

> U prevodu rap je mrtav,sve ostalo su bedni pokushaji

Ja bih to malo drugacije preveo - hip hop je mrtav,
ziveo hip hop! :)
Mislim da hip hop definitivno nije mrtav, iako je
dosta toga krenula lose u poslednje 3-4 godine...
Ali, prosla godina je bila godina povrataka velikih
imena u ovoj muzici, ljudi koji su zaista mnogo toga
uradili - Rakim (najbolji hip hop MC of all times),
Public Enemy, EPMD, Brand Nubian, Gang Starr, Biz
Markie... ove godine bio je to X Clan... bice toga
jos.
Ukoliko slusas samo high rotation na MTV-ju (ili
Studiju B) naravno da ces zakljuciti to sto si
zakljucio... Ali, meni se cini da 'nije sve tako
crno'.

ostajem pri stavu da vecina ljudi u tadasnjem B92 nisu

B92 je, kao prva prava urbana radio stanica kod nas, pustao
i hip hop, koji je tada bio daleko od ovoga sto je sada...
znaci, deo urbane muzicke scene. Mnogo dalje od mainstreama

=> 'It Takes nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back' (inace, izabran

Da, a zvanično najbolja grupa su Run DMC.
Ja se ne bih složio ni sa jednim izborom. Nation, po meni, jeste
najznačajniji album hip hopa, zato što je još '88. godine na
sjajan način spojio crnu i belu muziku. Međutim kada bi me pitali
da li mi se više dopada Nation, Muse Sick-N-Hour Mess Age ili
Apocalypse 91... ne bih znao da odgovorim. :) Kako su PE izdali
tri (po mom skromnom mišljenju :) najbolja hip hop albuma svih
vremena (a ukupno su ih izdali 6 + he got game + greatest misses
+ 1 solo Chuck D-a i 2 solo albuma Terminator X-a) logično je
da su i najbolja hip hop grupa svih vremena. :)
Da ne zaboravim najbolji album ove godine - There's A Poison Goin On...
(ako nekoga zanima da kupi neotpakovani original neka mi se javi na mail)
Uz izvinjenje na ovoj "sitnoj" digresiji od osnovne niti razgovora ;)
da pitam ima li neko ova dva Terminatorova solo albuma?
=> Znaci, hip hop mora da dokaze da je i on urbana vrsta muzike,
=> a ne da nas svrstavaju sa tamo nekim nanama i kamilicama,
=> fanki gangsterima i patkama...
Apsolutno. Hip hop kultura ne mora da bude masovno popularna, ono da
svi repuju, brejkuju i rade grafite, ali se definitivno mora izbeći
da neko ozbiljno shvati kada se razne patke sa ili bez xenie u svojim
pesmama deklarišu kao reperi.
Korov treba čupati iz korena... Dakle od Bad Boy Entertainmenta i
No Limit Recordsa.

jer se b 92 nikad nije karakterisao kao hip hop stanica :)
Bitno je da je zastupljenost hip hopa bila vishe nego dovoljna u

Tragicno.
Biggie je (bio) najbolji hardcore reper sa najubitacnijim recima jos
od vremena Slick Ricka.
Za Tupaca dovoljno govore i ankete gde je ponosno i ravnopravno
pored najjacih imena i pionira hip-hopa.
Njih dvojica, njihova muzika, njihovo prijateljstvo i rivalstvo, obelezilo
je hip-hop '90-tih, a ako si ti od onih koji cinjenice ne vide od slepe
mrznje prema istima, onda je ova rasprava besmislena.

Vidis, taj tvoj argument cisto stoji na osloncu subjektivnog dozivljaja.
Nisam sam ja jedini koji u onome sto je Tupac ostavio iza sebe,
nalazim nesto, cak su i kriticari bili naklonjeni Tupacu izuzimajuci
neke ocene da njegove pesme glorifikuju odnosno podsticu nasilje.
Da je bio kicos kakav je recimo Mase sada, ne bi se raspredale legende
o njemu i ne bi ga svojatao svaki baja koji misli da je nasao mesto na
rap sceni.

Nego sta nego djubre... Gde je muzika u tim spotovima? Gde je originalnost?

Crnja vozi neka besna kola, okaci 5 kila zlata oko vrata, skupi 15 mega
riba oko sebe, jede govna o njihovim pravima ili vec cemu...
Zar je to muzika?
Zasto su oni popularni?
Zato jer te spotove gledaju camuge po bronksu i drugim crnackim cetvrtima
koji nemaju leba da jedu jer su oni prevelike face da idu u skolu (kobajagi
rasizam vlada u skolama i tako te gluposti) i onda uz TV gleda tog tipa
sa besnim kolima/ribama/zlatom kako se qrci na ekranu misleci da ce mu to
sve pasti sa neba... i onda takvim spotovima pare oci, gledaju stvari koje
nikad nece moci da imaju i onda se loze da i oni postanu baje sa televizije
pa i oni pocu na pisu neka rap sranja... i tako se u krug...

Yo yo brand new KRS y'all, Maximum Strength
5 Boroughs of death we rep to death
Yo Kris, set it for The Bronx..
[KRS-One]
We hit em and get em, we stick em and jig em
we pick em and kick em
Flippin them whip and I'm wing-clippin them lip
cause I'm cold sick of them
Much quicker than them lyrically trickin and my Tribe
be on a Quest like Tip and them
On every avenue puttin the full clip in em
Splittin and strippin em down while spittin a round
into them soundclash see winnin them, just begginin them
Get rid of ev-ery bit of them with them negative idioms
I don't even consider them
In the new millenium we killin them
Breeze Deep, Kenny and Will and them, KRS-One we thrillin em
Many battles we been in them now we rebuildin them
We blaze, fulfillin them, Keith ?, Jesse, Jamil and them
We originate styles, other be stealin them

You got a good rise in your rolodex, who flow is next?
Comin out to {fuck} with the best, put it in your chest
Inhale it and hold that, blow it out when I say let go; let's see
if you can hold your breath, by the time I flip to the next flow
This sho' is real, this is the deal, guns I'm runnin
Gotta make it out of town to flip my {shit} and keep it comin
Then bring it back, with another stack, of raps to blow your back out
How many of y'all wanna go for yours I keep my dogs in the crackhouse
[Buckshot]
Let's take a walk through Crown Heights
Steppin through the city at night, with the ? and two mic
Form a little lynch mob, and stomp through the five boroughs
Head back to Brooklyn in the Expo
Back on the block, I see the cops everybody clockin
Buckshot, when you see the rocks, me I got you shocked
Why not? You see the recipe
Buckshot, I represent Brooklyn and my {nigga} Biggie

Yo this is for my {niggaz} on the block all day
Who don't give a {fuck} waitin for crime to pay
Put your money on it, yo we never fronted
Long Island got some of the best {niggaz} that ever done it
From Riverhead to C.I. to Brentwood to Wyndanch
{Niggaz} comin through will not stand a chance
From Roosevelt to Freeport to Hempstead to Uniondale
Comin deep from the depths of hell
I'm dead serious, even though you see me smilin
Rough enough to break New York from Long Island
[Cam'Ron]
We destroy {niggaz}, need advice, cause I heard em sayin Jesus Christ
You should see the sight, cookin ox-tail, peas and rice
Makin about a G a night, they can't read or write
But I got every creed and type, you need a dyke, babygirl I see the light
But sometime y'all get crimey crimey, grimy grimy
But those with a tiny hiney they get whiny whiny
So guard your girl, Harlem World, cock the gun, pop it son
Fila fam, illa players, Killa Cam is still the man

Uptown massive, Uptown the borough
Uptown let the ? kali, no sorrow

[Killah Priest]
Yo, hit you with the force of an iron horse
Tear your face off the planet, leavin one-third damaged
Witcha back cracked the earth canvas, leavin mountains slanted
Rock the earth of the axle, crabs who
Polar bears beneath the sea gravel
Thoughts be runnin wild like the Lil' Rascals
Puttin dinosaurs inside of figure fours, rip you with nine inch claws
Chasin {motherfuckers} through malls, and clash in halls
Beatin {motherfuckers} through walls, stompin through floors
and jumpin down elevator shafts
Searchin for they {ass}, stayin low in the grass
Wearin a gas mask, wrappin their hands up in plastic bags
On stage like a savage goin mad

Yeah, by all means you know you gotta put Queens on it
Put cream on it, Q.B. we rep often
Take over your party, slamdance witcha hood
Took your ladies back to the projects with us
Then sent her {ass} back on the Q-train home
Satisfied, she learned the words to my thug song
See we one big borough of Dons with firearms
And we never use those, til the man act

Shots whistle, damn near missed dat

The Roots, Canibus, Common (Sense), Killah Priest,
Black Star (Mos Def & Talib Kweli), Eminem, Outkast,
Ras Kass... mislim da postoji niz grupa i MC-ja,
kako middle, tako i new school-a koje uspevaju da
odrze hip hop na nogama.
Pitanje na mestu... kako mi ovde da dodjemo do njih.
Ja licno to radim putem Neta i satelitskog programa
(MTV i nekoliko satelitskih radio stanica).
Bila je pre nekoliko meseci na jednom hip hop site-u
anketa: Da li mislite da li je kvalitetniji under-
ground ili commercial hip hop. Underground je dobio
anketu sa 62% glasova... a tu su glasali uglavnom
Amerikanci kojima nije problem da dodju do njega.
Ne znam... da je sa Sezamom sve u redu, mogao bih
redovno da saljem underground hip hop muziku u
*.ra formatu... (naravno, to nisu imena koja sam
nabrojao na pocetku poruke, vec npr. Lootpack,
Blackalicious, Elusive, Eligh, Roots Manuva...).
Ali, Boze zdravlja, valjda ce se nesto popraviti.

Tu je za najbolju grupu izabran Wu. Veoma diskutabilno, ali
svaki izbor je subjektivan, koliko god se u njega ukljucivali
citaoci (gledaoci, slusaoci...). Inace, slao sam taj izbor
ranije u grupu (a valjda sam i u konferenciju)...
> Da ne zaboravim najbolji album ove godine - There's A Poison

Preslusao sam Poison... (prva dva singla jos kada su izasla
na PE site-u), ali je za mene najbolji album ove godine -
The Roots 'Things Fall Apart'.

PUFF DADDY 'PUFF DADDY FOREVER'-- SAVRSENI PRIMER IZGUBLJENE KULTURE
Sometimes, I think that Puff Daddy and others of his ilk-- I won't name
any names for fear of getting my ass kicked like Cheo H. Coker, James
Bernard and countless others-- exist in an alternate world. Who listens
to his shit anyway? Nobody I know.
And yet there's the massive display of Puff Daddy Forever CDs in the
record store, waiting to be scooped up. Meanwhile, Bahamadia can't
even buy a major label record deal. Oh well...
So, is Puff Daddy Forever (an obvious play on Wu-Tang Forever) any
good?
Imagine hearing a soothing piano loop coming into focus, as it
metamorphoses into a head-nodding hip-hop beat with the addition of
bass and drums. Then imagine the wackest rapper in the world trying
to flow over that.
There's some incredibly nice music on this album. Puff Daddy and the
Hitmen, Top of New York Productions, and others are able to update
played-out cuts like Prince's "Get Off" into club anthems-to-be like
"I'll Do This for You." It makes me wish that commercial artists would
start releasing instrumental versions of their albums for all the DJs
who don't mind playing flossy shit.
Puff Daddy, to be fair, holds his own on most of the tracks, keeping
time on fast-paced cuts like "Is This the End-- Part Two," and slow
numbers like "Satisfy You." But at best, he's as charismatic as a
bowl of overpriced cereal.
It's no surprise Puff Daddy has a guest on every track, from Jay-Z
on "Do You Like It...Do You Want It...," to the late Notorious B.I.G.
on "Real Niggas." His voice is droll and sullen, far removed from
the lithe, energetic dancer that explodes across television screens
in videos like "PE 2000."
The best moments on Puff Daddy Forever are when Puff Daddy blends
into the track, so all you can hear are infectious remakes of pop
hits like Christopher Cross' "Sailing." Listen too closely, and
you'll find that his lines are trite and occasionally nonsensical
("Sometimes I reminisce and wonder how I made it this far/Because
of you, I'm me, so you're the real star," on "Best Friend").
Puff Daddy Forever would be a perfect album for children-- it's
cloying, wildly fantastical ear candy that's ultimately
dispensable. But Puff Daddy is so obsessed with being hard and
mainstream at the same time that there's too many contradictory
images to contend with (he praises God on "Best Friend," and then
compares his situation to Jesus' on "Is This The End-- Part Two").
Come to think of it, what if hip-hop was-- as ODB so famously put
it-- for the children, instead of an opportunity to exploit their
enthusiasm for the art form and gouge their wallets for platinum
plaques? Puff Daddy Forever may be the perfect example of a lost
culture.-- Mosi Reeves

HIP-HOP PRODUCENT SAM 'SNEED' ANDERSON IMA TUMOR NA MOZGU...
Hip-hop producer Sam "Sneed" Anderson, mastermind behind hits
from the Death Row camp, Capone & Noreaga, Jay-Z, and many others,
was diagnosed with brain cancer earlier last week.
After experiencing headaches, Anderson checked into the emergency
room and was eventually diagnosed with Astrocytoma Grade 3, a type
of malignant brain tumor the size of a golf ball.
Anderson has no health insurance, and the treatment for the
disease is expensive, but after his condition was publicized in
the hip-hop community, many rappers have stepped forward to
perform in an all-star benefit concert for the producer. Scarface
and Eightball have already committed, and others including
KRS-One, Busta Rhymes, Sway & Tech, Goodie Mob, The Poetess, and
The Young Bloods have called in expressing support.

MOBB DEEP 'MURDA MUSIK'- THE JOY DIVISION HIP HOP-A
Mobb Deep weren't the first to claim thug life-- that
distinction, of course, goes to the late Tupac Shakur and his
1994 compilation, Thug Life Vol. 1.
But the Mobb has arguably perfected it. They are the Joy
Division of hip-hop-- the executors of obsessively violent
tales that consist of what Daz Dillinger once called (in
reference to his own screeds), "retaliation, retribution,
and get back."
But unlike the Dogg Pound, Noreaga, DMX, and countless others,
Mobb Deep are not merely former knuckleheads or soldiers with
a story to tell.
Like Tupac, Havoc and Prodigy are unafraid to reveal the
human face behind the ski mask. But you won't find much
sensitivity in titles like "Thug Muzik," "Tha Realest,"
and "Streets Raised Me," to name three examples from Mobb
Deep's excellent new album, Murda Muzik.
It's in the details, like when Havoc admits on "Streets
Raised Me," that he's "Stuck/Contemplating who I can trust/
But like yeyyo (a.k.a. cocaine) in a bill my feelings just
get crushed/That's why I stick with the duns like I stick
with the guns."
Forget the radio-friendly homilies about dead homies, single
mothers and baby mamas-- this is the real, where dun language
burns as bright as projectiles. It's advised to spread love,
not war. Speak a wrong word, and shots are fired. Mobb Deep's
music is harrowing, even frightening at times, because it
reflects the combustibility of human relations.
"Shook Ones Pt. II," the classic single from their sophomore
effort, The Infamous, alerted heads worldwide to Mobb Deep
and their bleak palette of "guns, money, pussy, cars, drugs,
jewels, clothes, brawls, killings, boroughs, buildings,
diseases, stress and deeds, NYC."
In stark contrast to those desires is their cold, emotionless
sound, a stripped down, synthesized version of the RZA-rector's
chamber music. And since that moment in 1994, when Havoc and
Prodigy appeared on television screens everywhere waving
plastic cups filled with E&J Brandy, they haven't changed,
despite thug life's absorption by the mainstream.
Though not as brilliant or startling as The Infamous, Murda
Muzik compromises nothing. Though commercial as fuck, as the
success of its first single, "Quiet Storm" has proved, it is
every bit the equal of its predecessors.-- Mosi Reeves

REDMAN I METH RADE SCENARIO,
SUGARHILL GANG REMIXI + FATBOY SE OZENIO!
First off in hip-hop news, it looks like Method Man & Redman's
tight work (and friendship) collaboration is about to hit the
next level. According to The Soul Purpose newsletter, Meth &
Redman have sold a script for a film, which is tentatively
titled How High, to Universal Pictures/Jersey Shore.
The movie apparently is about two kids who smoke the mighty
cheeba cheeba to increase their intelligence, and end up
attending the hallowed halls of Harvard University. Hmmm...
sounds like some kids I went to college with!
But you know that How High is gonna be funny as hell--
Redman's "I'll Be Dat" video showed that the brotha had a
dope sense of humor, plus that video where they were the
urban version of the Blues Brothas was off da hook. No
release date yet on the film, but we'll hit you off as
soon as we know.
Sugarhill Records has announced that they will release a
compilation of remixes of the Sugarhill Gang by UK artists.
Well, a hip-hop you don't stop!
Rap sensation Roots Manuva, Nightmares on Wax, The Wiseguys,
Red Snapper, Coldcut, and the Scratch Perverts will be among
the artists featured on Still The Joint, which will be released
October 4.
Two men were arrested earlier this week in connection with the
July shooting of UK hip-hop radio personality Tim Westwood
and an unidentified passenger in Westwood's Range Rover. The
two were injured as a gunman and an accomplice on a motorcycle
pulled a drive-by on the vehicle while driving in South London.
And finally, UK big beat pusherman Fatboy Slim (a.k.a. Norman
Cook) married BBC Radio One personality Zoe Ball this weekend
in a "secret" ceremony. Cook and Ball decided to jump the broom
by a day in order to avoid the inevitable paparazzi swarm that
tends to occur with celebrity weddings.
Finally-- stars with a sense of taste and decorum. Or maybe
it's because Fatboy's You've Come A Long Way, Baby has sold
more copies than "Debbie Does Dallas," and he and his new wife
could easily resist all the tabloid's million dollar offers.
Oh well...get yours, Funk Soul Brother!

INTERVJU SA DJ KRUSH-OM
by miguel angel hurtado
Interview transcribed from the Japanese by Kenshin Ichikawa
DJ Krush is one of the most relevant artists in the post hip-hop
mess of the last 1990. Actually thinking ahead of traditional
hip-hop, back when hip-hop was still surprising us, Krushĺs
loops and beats constitute drum-and-bass for the rest of us
heads-- future music that keeps our heads bobbing in our time,
and at our pace. Krushĺs brand of hip-hop was perhaps too
futuristic for some, back when he first made waves with two
mostly instrumental Moĺ Wax releases Strictly Turntablized
and Meisho. Using the traditional tools of a hiphop DJ/producer,
Krush, a Tokyo native, abstracted familiar hip-hop sound into
archetypal Bladerunner-style urban anthems.
The enormous visual quality of his music made us see the
world through tinted windows, provoking both post-contemporary
thought or the sparking of large blunts, while his steady,
stark undeniably hip-hop drum beats stapled us down to the
here-and-now. As we approach the next 1000 years, we realize
his music isnĺt futuristic at all; it's just remarkably on
point, in all senses of the term.
With his latest album Kakusei, Krush has moved on to a higher
artistic plane, abstracting two levels further into his art
and away from his former instrumental hiphop contemporaries.
His music is even more skeletal, focusing more on the structure
of the sound, revealing small bits of flesh selectively, almost
in jamaican dub engineer fashion. Again, Krush is designing the
urban soundtrack for us heads not living life above 90 bpm.
P4M: How long ago did you start?
DJ KRUSH: Fifteen or sixteen years.
P4M: How did you relate with hip-hop back then?
DJ KRUSH: Music has had a large presence in my life. As a
teenager who loved music and the sound of beats,
I played the drums and had a band with some of
my friends. And then I saw Wild Style, back in '82.
It showed me the energy of the culture, and that
video made me want to really get involved with the
culture. Wild Style convinced me that I could do
what they did with records and turntables.
P4M: I know artists don't like to label their art, but what
is your music like in your terms?
DJ KRUSH: I really don't have a definition for my type of
music. After I sat down and listened to my second
release on Mowax, I asked myself the same question
and could not come up with anything. But I'd like
to call my music DJ Krush Music.
P4M: How do you relate to hip-hop now?
DJ KRUSH: Hip-hop runs deep within me and I express myself
in my music. It's as if hip-hop is my canvas and
I am the painter. Aside from making my own albums,
I am also involved with a three-DJ group called Ryu
["Flowing"] in which we use Japanese rappers. Even
these two sides sound very different, I think that
it is clear that hip-hop is the common link between
them.
P4M: Do you like dub and is it an influence in your work?
DJ KRUSH: Yes. Yes, in that it has many layers and echoes. In
my recent release, because it is purely an instrumental
album, I have to express myself with various layers to
create something unique. People usually relate strongly
to vocals and lyrics, so I had to fill the void with
other sounds, sounds that are complex.
P4M: Recently, turntablism has become very popular internationally.
Do you see yourself as a turntablist?
DJ KRUSH: I certainly don't have the same skills as, say, the
X-ecutioners or the Piklz, so I feel I am more like
a composer or a producer. I am more into music production
so that I can paint my own work.
P4M: In your show at the Giant Step CMJ opening last year, you
used other people's music to create something completely
your own.
DJ KRUSH: That is exactly what I wanted people to see.
P4M: Why don't you publish something like that?
DJ KRUSH: I've always thought about it.
P4M: To me, that's turntablism just as much as scratching...
Why don't you make a mixtape or record of it?
DJ KRUSH: Right after that show and I went back to Japan, I
started talking to Sony about releasing a mix album.
It will be released soon. I'm not about scratching.
My music is about putting all elements together,
letting it all flow together. In the long run, that
is what I want people to get out of what I create.
P4M: Do you choose the MCs you want to work with?
DJ KRUSH: Yes, I always choose the rappers, but sometimes our
schedules don't work out.
P4M: Working with people like Black Thought, CL Smooth, Mos Def,
do you like their voices or flow as an instrument, or do
you understand their english lyrics and respect what they
say? Which one do you pay more attention to?
DJ KRUSH: First of all, I don't know any English. Flow as an
instrument is what always gets me first. I appreciate
the rapping as pure sound and then I pay attention
to the lyrics. If the lyrics are just as smooth, I
can finally say that the MC is good. If the rapping
is bullshit, then its all bullshit. There's a lot
of times when the production is great, but the rapper
is sorry. Everytime I ask them to publish something
with me, I make sure that I know what they are saying.
I ask them what they think from an American standpoint
so that I can put their lyrics in according to my
concepts. It's not like I just put some random MC on
my work just because he is famous.
P4M: Your music is very atmospheric. With your music, are you
trying to take people to some other place, or are you
changing the place where they are at the time?
DJ KRUSH: I like to see my music as a movie, or a painting.
I am simply showing my art to the people when I
make my music. If there is any place called
Krushland, I haven't been there yet. I want to go
there and will work until I get there.
P4M: How do you feel about having your music in movies?
DJ KRUSH: Having my music in movies is incredible. I had
one track in Blade; I created sounds and visuals
for a Japanese group called Southern Allstars, did
other work for other Japanese movies, Levi's, etc.
I even had my music in a Hungarian flick. The other
day, when I went to a video shoot for Ryu, the
director told me that my music is very visually
inspirational.
P4M: How do you feel about you, as an artist, being an
inspiration to others?
DJ KRUSH: Overjoyed. I was a bad kid, fucked with alot of
people, had mad problems with the police, so my
popularity and success is a kind of apology to my
mother. In fact, I went to the Olympics one time
and a Japanese swimmer approached me and said that
he always listened to his music before a competition
because it calmed him. I was really flattered. I
feel really blessed that I have something to give
to the people and that it is my music.
P4M: Who are your favorite producers?
DJ KRUSH: There are hundreds upon hundreds of great producers
in Japan, the US, and Europe that I really respect
and I really can't say that I have favorites. But
I'll tell you about one, Kemuri Productions in
Japan. I feel they are interesting because at the
same time that they create hip-hop beats, they
produce unique instrumentals without the help of
rappers. The hip-hop movement in Japan is
inspirational and exciting.
P4M: Do you feel that others on Mo'Wax, like DJ Shadow, are
they on the same vibe as you?
DJ KRUSH: Even though my music is very different from Shadow's,
I felt we were on the same vibe when I spoke to him.
We have the same type of goals.
P4M: On Kakusei, it seems that you are saying less, but
expressing more. Do you see it that way too?
DJ KRUSH: There are less sounds. The sound production is minimal.
I feel I am telling more, but I still am definitely
not satisfied yet. I want to reach another level,
constantly maturing as an artist along the way.
Despite the cap-over-the-eyes attitude Krushĺs music has,
Krush seemed to have had a lot more to say. His translator
was summarizing a lot as we spoke-- he speaks next to no
english-- and knowing some Japanese, I could easily tell
that his thoughts are just as visual as his music.
Ironically, the most telling information was brought on by
a question Krush asked me. On my way out, he stopped me and,
in the only English I heard from him that day, he asked,
"What do you think of hip-hop today?" After a second,
remembering the precious few left in hip-hopĺs resistance
to banality, I just started shaking my head. Then he started
shaking his head, too.

NAPRAVITE MESTA ZA BRITANSKI HIP HOP
Jan W÷lffel talks to Roots Manuva (a.k.a. Rodney Smith)
about his new album for Ninja Tune/Big Dada, Brand New
Second Hand.
Still thinking that British hip-hop is a U.S carbon copy?
That the b-boys from the U.K turned into digital drum-and-bass
heads? Well, you`re dead wrong.
Check this out. It┤s Rodney Smith, a.k.a. Roots Manuva,
another "Gun From Brixton" on his way to blaze down your
speakers with furious rhymes and deep dub-tingled hip-hop
beats. He┤s been around for a while, and now it`s his time
to shine. Recognize that hip-hop is a global thing and that
globalization is in full bloom nowadays. Rodney Smith calls
it "The Next Type Of Motion"-- which was his first 12-inch
as Roots Manuva, on the British independent label,
Sound Of Money.
That was about 1995. Trip-hop was big in Britain.
Drum-and-bass had exploded, and it was unclear whether there
was room for British hip-hop. Only a few people recognized
that there was something going on in the underground.
Journalist Will Ashon was someone who did recognize that
fact-- and in 1997 he founded the hip-hop sub-label of Ninja
Tune called Big Dada, which turns out to be something like
an equivalent of Rawkus. In fact, Ashon signed the poet Saul
Williams from New York, El-P from Company Flow who did an
remix for Roots Manuva, Abstract Rude from L.A., and of
course, Roots Manuva.
The first release had been a compilation called Black Whole
Styles, which created a big buzz. Few 12-inches followed,
and finally it's Roots Manuva's turn with his debut album,
Brand New Second Hand. It┤s like a journey from Brixton to
Babylon, and directly into the cyberspace of modern hip-hop.
Although he's from the school of hard knocks, Roots Manuva
has kept his humor and his laid-back attitude. This is what
he has to say:
?: Are you from Stockwell or from Brixton?
!: My mom's house is actually situated in Central Brixton. As
a young man you are getting in a lot of trouble using the
Brixton tube station. So I kinda turn my back on Brixton
and started using the Stockwell tube station, which was a
big karma. It's from then. Back in my school days, I used
to say I'm from Stockwell.
?: What's it like there?
!: Well, going down the road where I'm from, it's mad
multiculture. Just on that road there are about ten
different nationalities living next door to each other.
We had our flat and our little street community which
lasted about two blocks. Hi-Jack and Catch 22 lived there,
aro˙nd the corner, as well, but I didn't know them.
You know, it was just these two blocks.
?: What impact did Brixton made on your music?
!: Certainly, to learn to love differnt types of music. In
my house, it was gospel that we used to listen to. My
next doors neighbours listened to funk and early rap
stuff. Some friends listend to reggae and stuff like that.
?: When did ya finally decide to be an MC and producer as well?
!: It was never a decision. I always messed around with keyboards
and equipment that was around. When we started, we were actually
five people. We did load of things; we had access to a community
studio and we were trying to do a compilation album. That was
before we were 18.
?: The combination of an MC and producer is rather unusual nowadays,
isn't it?
!: Well, there are just too much frustrated rappers who wait on
producers. I always said that in this country we haven't got
much producers. We've got people who make beats, but not enough
people who bring out the best in us. I can only do the best for me.
?: And the producers in the U.K are saying that they don't have
enough talented Mc's ...
!: We've got people that make beats, but not actual producers.
People who bring out ideas and people who get the best texts
from vocalists.
?: Which was your first step in the music business?
!: Walking into the community studios, saying that I┤m the best
rapper in the world. After sending demo-tapes around, being
refused and having a few bad shows, I was like, Oh shit, man,
I┤m a need more practising, more practising. I send demos to
Music For Life which was run by Simon Harris, and they
refused me, man. I couldn't believe it. I kept sending them
some stuff and after a while they stopped replying [laughs].
Throughout that course, from 15 to now, all that-- different
record labels, from major to independent-- it┤s been a big
massive frustration.
?: I only know about Sound Of Money...
!: Yeah, that's the second label that released me. I had another
group called IQ Procedure. We had one 12-inch called "Blindly
Speak In Violence" that came out on the Suburban Base's
hip-hop label. We released one 12-inch and the group split up.
And than we sat together on Blak Twang's "Queen Tap," and a
month after that, "The Next Type Of Motion" came out. All my
time has been soaked up by Roots Manuva since then. We've also
done some other stuff, a bit of drum-and-bass, a bit of
trip-hop and even a bit of house as well.
?: Really?
!: Yup, but I had not much releases, though.
?: Did you ever consider changing your style in order to be more
successful and getting more attention?
!: I kinda see drum-and-bass and trip-hop as the UK interpretation
of hip-hop. Even though it isn┤t centered around the vocalist,
it's pulling energy from the same thoughts. For marketing
reasons, it's kinda fragemented right now and because there's
so much more music coming out, people can play one music
all night.
?: Did you release some drum-and-bass, trip-hop, and house as
Roots Manuva?
!: No, no. Roots Manuva is specific for the vocal end of Rodney
Smith.
?: What was the name of the other projects?
!: Oh, no projects. That was just some studio-type of music-- you
know, studio pipe dreams which were never actually released. I
always like to mess around, trying to be creative. I like Basic
Channel, Daft Punk, Reprazent and all that, you know.
?: How did ya finally hook up with Ninja Tune?
!: Will Ashon who runs Big Dada used to be a journalist. He knew me
from releasing singles on Sound Of Money and Ronin Records. He
approached me to do a single for Big Dada. But this time I was
tired of doing singles; I wanted to do an album. I signed to
them around 1997. We did a small tour promoting the Black Whole
Styles compilation and it┤s just being massive since them.
?: Did ya put your album together completely on your own?
!. No, I did eleven tracks. There were two provided by a guy
called Wayne Bennet from a new production company called
Lo-Tech Productions. I.G Culture did one ("Dem Phoneys") and
Big VRS from Blak Twang did a remake of "Fever." But
predominantly it was me and my own little bubble.
?: The "Motion 5000"?
!: That's a cover version of "Next Type Of Motion."
?: And a brilliant idea to put it at the end.
!. Yeah.
?: Who's the female MC on "Baptism"?
!: Wild Flower. She's from northwest London. She's been
tearing up freestyle stuff for the last couple of years,
and she's been working with Crazy Noddy from The Sindecut.
?: Putting that album together, did ya have an basic concept in mind?
!. No, I was trying to make a mix-tape. That's the only thing. I
tried to use the same approach as you would do try to make
a mix-tape-- having different colors even though you're
following a certain pattern of groove. You know, painting
loads of different colors and going on a trip, a journey....
?: That's a concept, isn't it?
!: To me, a concept would be to do an album about, um, travel
on the seas. Track 1 would be called "The Big Ship"; track
2, "I'm The Captain"...
?: Your concept is representing a bricolage of Roots Manuva.
!: Yeah.
?: Would you consider Brand New second Hand an abstract piece
of hip-hop?
!: I don't know. It took six month to make it-- I┤m listing to
it for a while since the, and I still don't know what it is.
All I know is, it's pretty odd.
?: You described it as a "roots vibe discotheque."
!: The roots vibe discotheque is what you have in your bedroom
when you turn out the lights and turn on the tape, having
the lights of the system flashing.
?: Why do you use these sci-fi metaphors so often?
!: It was part of me growing up. I┤m not a massive fan of
sci-fi-- I can't speak Klingon-- but when it's on TV I
watch it.
?: These futuristic vibe is characteristic for Big Dada as well...
!: Yeah, our mind is on the future, sending signals to the future.
?: What would be your main messages?
!: Oh... Do your thing. Hopefully, it will be successful. Do
your thing-- I did mine and it came out good for me. Um,
don't know. The songs have different meanings and I want
people to paint their own things to it. Just like a piece
of art in the gallery. Make of it what you will. Don't
think about it too hard. Just groove; just get in the
groove, man.
?: Who are "The experts with the expertise who got no place
over here," who you speak of in a lyric?
!: The labels that are trying to tell you what to do. Those
labels who try to force you to do their interpretation
of hip-hop and tell you to do this style or that style.
There's a lot of that in London. Labels trying to confine
you to a tiny little space in hip-hop, when hip-hop is
originally about doing your own thing.
?: The lyric isn't about journalists?
!. No, we need journalists to spread the word. Nine month
ago, I was totally anti-journalist, but now I┤ve grown
up a little bit. I┤m more open and I'm understanding
that we are all part of the same team. So let's start
to work together. If I┤ve got a problem with the
journalist or any magazine, it┤s time for me to start
my own one-- though I ain't got no time doing it right
now. So I┤m going to work with everybody.
?: Do you avoid those parental-advisory words intentionally?
!: I messed around with the songs quite a lot. It would be
too easy to use "fuck" or "cunts." It's easier if I
tried to be clever and use a "shhh" or "freak" or a
"stupid ones"-- you know, just messing around. You
will hear me on everything, talking about some mad
crazy things with a shock value in it.
?: How do the Americans dig your stuff so far?
!: Oh, quite well. For the first time Ninja has managed to
get reviews in the Vibe magazine with my stuff.
?: Big Dada operates on a global level. Do you think that
this global exchange will intensify in the future?
!: Yeah, I┤m going to the U.S.A., Canda, and all over Europe,
promoting this album.
?: Do you think that we are on our way to talking about hip-hop
in a different way-- not using those labels "British hip-hop"
and "east coast hip-hop," and so on?
!: Those labels won't disappear, 'cause that's how things work.
People need to put a tag to things so they're more accessable.
They need sections in the record store. They need to have
rap sections, house sections and avant garde sections-- just
to make it easier for the public, 'cause so much music is
coming out now. Personally, I hate categorizing, but I
understand why it's there.

Kobajagi rasizam? Tvoje nezdravo rasudjivanje i razmisljanje je
upravo i posledica svakakvih propagandi koje se emituju "odande",
a koje se najlakse sprovode pomocu recimo, holivudske produkcije
i filmova tipa "Smrtonosno oruzje", "Dan Nezavisnosti", "Novac govori"
i ostalih mongoloidnih filmova gde se pravi vestacka slika o bratskim
odnosima crnaca i belaca, koja u istinskom zivotu, prakticno ne postoje.
Sto se tice besnih kola, riba i kila zlata, to ne sporim. To je uvek bio
njihov deo imidza, pemenimo LL Cool J-a, ali ne samo njihovog, vec
svakog pripadnika crne kulture koji je od nicega dosao do necega.
To je simbol bunta, to je u stvari i znacenje hip hopa. Bunt.
Uostalom, reperi koji o tome pevaju odnosno pricaju pricaju vecinom
autobigrafske price i iskazuju prava osecanja, pa i uzajamni rasizam,
za razliku od onih koje si ti uzeo za primer, nekih foliranata poput
ica.z rece, C Block-a i slicnih pacenika kojima je izmedju zivota i
materijalnog, stavljen veliki znak jednakosti.
To sto ti od _celokupnog muzickog dozivljaja_ ;) izdvajas samo kile
zlata, gole ribe i besna kola, samo govori o tvojoj nemoci zapazanja,
uzivanja i opustanja. 'ebiga, neko to ume, a neko ne. ;)
Ono sto si ti gore nalupetao, moze samo da kaze nadobudni beli rasista.
U stvari, onako ne govore ni rasisti, vec isfrustrirani klinci koji o rap-u
znaju koliko i o pletenju carapa. Ma i manje. ;)
> Rap je samo zapadna verzija ovog naseg turbo folka... bedni
> su...
Istinu govoreci, razumes se u rap, k'o Marica u kriv kur**.
A, kad' si se vec istrcao, daj nam prosvetljenje o muzici koja tebe
ispunjava, a ne govori o "opakim ribama, kilama zlata i besnim kolima?"
Ono, o tome se i radi u rap-u i moras da se zamislis, sto rece vec
jednom Brka, zelis li da te muzika natera da igras ili da iz nje uz
opustanje, vuces i neke poruke odnosno pouke.

Njihova ubistva ne bi bili dogadjaji koji su obelezili hip hop
ove decenije da i sami nisu zauzimali isto toliko znacajno
mesto na hip hop sceni.
Zamisli da je Oprah Winfri svoj zivot skoncala u 24-oj, crna

odlaskom dvojice genijalaca.

Ti, recimo, izvlacis takav zakljucak... Ali smatram da
su ta dva ubistva zbog neceg drugog obelezila '90-te.
Pokazala su da je hip hop krenuo jednom opasnom stranputicom...
i pre toga su postojala "neprijateljstva" medju grupama,
mc-jima, ali su se ona resavala pomocu "battle of mc's (ili
dj's)". Jednostavno, u jednoj prostoriji su i jedan i drugi,
pokazu ono sto najbolje znaju, i onda publika i mediji
proglase boljeg.
U ovoj deceniji, to se, nazalost, resavalo pistoljima...

Diskutabilno... pitanje je da li je Oprah pomogla ili
odmogla crnoj kulturi. No, dobro - ne zelim sada da
se rasplinjavam.

To definitivno nije bila reklama... Pitanje te strofe je
bilo pokrenuto tek neka 4 meseca po izlasku albuma (koji
je do tada vec dostigao zlatni tiraz).

Zbog toga sto je on jedini "pacenik" kome je _svaka_ pesma
obrada nekog velikog hita, i jedini "pacenik" medju
producentima koji misli da je dobar MC... (To ti je kao
kada neka supermanekenka dostigne vrhunac u svom poslu,
i onda istripuje da je dobra glumica).
> Ono, znam da je mnogima trn u oku 5 miliona prodatih kopija

Pa da... i ja ga ne volim zato sto mu ustvari... zavidim. :)
Naravno da ima i dosta zavisti... ipak je to show business,
ali mislim da vecina ljudi (barem novinara, jer ako bi oni
zavideli Puffy-ju, onda bi trebali da zavide i pljuju svakog
drugog hip hop pevaca, ili grupu, jer u krajnjem slucaju -
svi oni zaradjuju vise od bilo kog novinara) koji ga ne
vole, ne vole ga zbog stvari koje sam naveo gore...

Intro:
Take that motherfucker
GOOD MORNING VIETNAM!!
Yeah, good morning to all you motherfuckin notty-headed niggaz
Word to the camoflouge large niggaz
Bitch niggaz fuckin my body
Bring that fuckin meth in here
Yo yo yo yo
Now we gonna drink some good Nightrain
and yo, set it off
Verse One: Raekwon the Chef
Champion gear that I rock, you get your boots knocked
Then attack you like a pit that lock shit DOWN
As I come and freaks the sound, hardcore
but giving you more and more, like ding!
Nah shorty, get you open like six packs
Killer Bees attack, flippin what, murder one, phat tracks
A'ight? I kick it like a Night Flite!
Word life, I get that ass while I'm fulla spite!
Check the method from Bedrock, cause I rock ya head to bed
Just like rockin what? Twin glocks!
Shake the ground while my beats just break you down
Raw sound, we going to war right now
So, yo, bombin
We Usually Take All Niggaz Garments
Save ya breath before I bomb it
Verse Two: Method Man
I be that insane nigga from the psycho ward
I'm on the trigger, plus I got the Wu-Tang sword
So how you figure that you can even fuck with mine?
Hey, yo, RZA! Hit me with that shit one time!
And pull a foul, niggaz save the beef on the cow
I'm milkin this ho, this is MY show, tical
The FUCK you wanna do? More than Spike Lee's Do
I'm like a sniper, hyper off the ginseng root
PLO style, buddha monks with the owls
So who's the fucking man? Meth-Tical
On the chessbox
Verse Three: Inspector Deck
Yo, yeah, yo
I leave the mic in body bags, my rap style has
The force to leave you lost, like the tribe of Shabazz
Murderous material, made by a madman
It's the mic wrecker, Inspector, bad man
From the bad lands of the killer, rap fanatic
Representing with the skill that's iller
Dare to compare, get pierced just like an ear
The zoo-we-do-wop-bop strictly hardware
Armed and geared cause I just broke out the prison
Charged by the system - for murdering the rhythm!
Now, lo and behold, another deadly episode
Bound to catch another fuckin charge when I explode
Verse Four: Ghostface Killer
Slammin a hype-ass verse til ya head burst
I ramshack dead in the track, and that's that
Rap assassin, fastin, quick to blast and hardrock
I ran up in spots like Fort Knox!
I'm hot, top notch, Ghost thinks with logic
Flashback's how I attacked your whole project
I'm raw, I'm rugged and raw! I repeat, if I die
My seed'll be ill like me
Approachin me, you out of respect, chops ya neck
I get vexed, like crashing up a phat-ass Lex'
So clear the way, make way, yo! Open the cage
Peace, I'm out, jettin like a runaway slave
Verse Five: Prince Rakeem/RZA
Yo
Ya gettin stripped from ya garments, boy, run ya jewels
While the meth got me open like falopian tube
I bring death to a snake when he least expect
Ain't a damn thing changed, boy, Protect Ya Neck
Roll a Zig Zag, Zig-Allah jam is fatal
Quick to stick my Wu-Tang sword right through y Clan is thick like
plaster
Bust ya, slash ya
Slit a nigga back like a Dutch Master Killer
Style jumped off and Killa, Hill-er
I was the thriller in the Ali-Frasier Manilla
I came down with phat tracks that combine and interlock
Like getting smashedre you, uh, ah, uh
Are you a warrior? Killer? Slicin shit like a samurah
The Ol' Dirty Bastard VUNDABAH
Ol' Dirty clan of terrorists
Comin atcha ass like a sorceress, shootin' that PISS!
Niggaz be gettin on my fuckin nerves
Rhymes they be kickin make me wanna kick they fuckin ass to the curb
I got funky fresh, like the old specialist
A carrier, messenger, bury ya
This experience is for the whole experience
Let it be applied, and THEN DROP THAT SCIENCE
Verse Seven: Genius/GZA
My my my
My Clan is thick like plaster
Bust ya, slash ya
Slit a nigga back like a Dutch Master Killer
Style jumped off and Killa, Hill-er
I was the thriller in the Ali-Frasier Manilla
I came down with phat tracks that combine and interlock
Like getting smashed

KnowhatI'msayin, take you on this lyrical high real quick
Nineteen ninety three exoticness
KnowhatI'msayin, let's get technical
Where's your bone at, get up on that shit aight
Yo!!
Verse One:
Started off on the island, AK Shaolin
Niggaz whylin, gun shots thrown the phone dialin
Back in the days of eight now, makin a tape now
Rae gotta get a plate now
Ignorant and mad young, wanted to be the one
Till I got (BAM! BAM!) thrown one
Yeah, my pops was a fiend since sixteen
Shootin' that (that's that shit!) in his blood stream
That's the life of a crimey, real live crimey
If niggas know the half is behind me
Day one, yo, growin all up in the ghetto
Now I'm a weed fiend, jettin the Palmetto
In Medina, yo no doubt the God got crazy clout
Pushin the big joint from down South
So if you're filthy stacked up
Betta watch ya back and duck
Cause these fiends they got it cracked up
Now my man from up north, now he got the law
It's solid as a rock and crazy salt
No jokes, I'm not playin, get his folks
Desert Eagle his dick and put 'em in a yolk (AAH!)
And to know for sure, I got reck and rip shop
I pointed a gat at his mother's knot
(Yo, Rae, don't do that shit, man! Don't do that shit! <gun shots>)
Fuck that
<Chorus>
<Raekwon> Dedicated to the winners and the losers
(Can it be that it was all so simple then?)
<Ghost Face Killer> Dedicated to all jeeps and land cruisers
(Can it be that it was all so simple then?)
<Raekwon> Dedicated to the Y's, 850-I's
(Can it be that it was all so simple then?)
<Ghost Face Killer> Dedicated to niggas who do drive-bys
(Can it be that it was all so simple then?)
<Raekwon> Dedicated to the Lexus and the Ax
(Can it be that it was all so simple then?)
<Ghost Face Killer> Dedicated to MPV's phat!
(Can it be that it was all so simple then?)
<Raekwon> Nigguh, yeah, yeah!
Verse Two: Ghostface Killer
Yo!
Kickin the fly cliches
Doin duets with Rae and A, happens to make my day
Though I'm tired of bustin off shots havin to rock knots
Runnin up in spots and makin shit hot
I'd rather flip shows instead of those
Hangin on my living room wall
My first joint, and it went gold
I want to lamp, I want to be in the shade
Plus the spot light
Gettin my dick rubbed all night
I wanna have me a phat yacht
And enough land to go and plant my own sess crops
But for now, it just a big dream
Cause I find myself in the place where I'm last seen
My thoughts must be relaxed
Be able to maintain
Cause times is changed and life is strange
The glorious days is gone, and everybody's doin' bad
Yo, mad lives is up for grabs
Brothers, passin away, I gotta make wakes
Receivin all types of calls from upstate
Yo, I can't cope with the pressure
Settlin for lesser
The god left lessons on my dresser
So I can bloom and blossom, find a new way
Continue to make hits with Rae and A
Sunshine plays a major part in the daytime
[Peace to mankind Ghostface carry a black nine, nigga
Word up
It's on like that]

Me fear no-one, oh no, here come
The Wu-Tang shogun, killer to the eardrum!
Verse Two: Inspector Deck
I puts the needle to the groove, I gets rude
And I'm forced to fuck it up
My style carries like a pickup truck
Across the clear blue yonder
Seek the China Sea, I slam tracks like quarterbacks sacks from L.T.
Now why try and test, the Rebel INS?
Blessed since the birth, I earth-slam your best
Cause I bake the cake, then take the cake
And eat it, too, with my crew while we head state to state!

And if you want beef, then bring the ruckus

Hyah!

Chop his head off, kid!
Verse Three: Method Man
The Meth will come out tomorrow,
Styles, is wild, berserk, bizarro
Flow, with more afro than Rollo
Comin to a fork in the road which way to go just follow
Method, the Legend, niggaz is Sleepy Hollow
In fact I'm a hard act to follow
I dealt for dolo
Bogart comin on through
Niggaz is like "Oh, my God, not you!"
Yes, I, Come to get a slice of the punk and the pie
Rather do than die, check my

Verse One: Raekwon the Chef
I grew up on the crime side, the New York Times side
Staying alive was no jive
At second hands, moms bounced on old men
So then we moved to Shaolin land
A young youth, yo rockin the gold tooth, 'Lo goose
Only way, I begin to gee off was drug loot
And let's start it like this son, rollin with this one
And that one, pullin out gats for fun
But it was just a dream for the teen, who was a fiend
Started smokin woolies at sixteen
And running up in gates, and doing hits for high stakes
Making my way on fire escapes
No question I would speed, for cracks and weed
The combination made my eyes bleed
No question I would flow off, and try to get the dough all
Sticking up white boys in ball courts
My life got no better, same damn 'Lo sweater
Times is ruff and tuff like leather
Figured out I went the wrong route
So I got with a sick ass click and went all out
Catchin keys from across seas
Rollin in MPV's, every week we made forty G's
Yo nigga respect mine, or anger the tech nine
Ch-chick-POW! Move from the gate now
Chorus: Method Man
Cash, Rules, Everything, Around, Me
C.R.E.A.M.
Get the money
Dollar, dollar bill y'all
Verse Two: Inspector Deck
It's been twenty-two long hard years of still strugglin
Survival got me buggin, but I'm alive on arrival
I peep at the shape of the streets
And stay awake to the ways of the world cause shit is deep
A man with a dream with plans to make C.R.E.A.M.
Which failed; I went to jail at the age of 15
A young buck sellin drugs and such who never had much
Trying to get a clutch at what I could not... could not...
The court played me short, now I face incarceration
Pacin -- going up state's my destination
Handcuffed in back of a bus, forty of us
Life as a shorty shouldn't be so ruff
But as the world turns I learned life is hell
Living in the world no different from a cell
Everyday I escape from Jakes givin chase, sellin base
Smokin bones in the staircase
Though I don't know why I chose to smoke sess
I guess that's the time when I'm not depressed
But I'm still depressed, and I ask what's it worth?
Ready to give up so I seek the Old Earth
Who explained working hard may help you maintain
to learn to overcome the heartaches and pain
We got stickup kids, corrupt cops, and crack rocks
and stray shots, all on the block that stays hot
Leave it up to me while I be living proof
To kick the truth to the young black youth
But shorty's running wild smokin sess drinkin beer
And ain't trying to hear what I'm kickin in his ear
Neglected, but now, but yo, it gots to be accepted
That what? That life is hectic

Song: Bring Da Ruckus
Intro:
Shaolin shadowboxing, and the Wu-Tang sword style
If what you say is true, the Shaolin and the Wu-Tang
could be dangerous
Do you think your Wu-Tang sword can defeat me?
En garde, I'll let you try my Wu-Tang style
Chorus: Method Man
Bring da motherfuckin' ruckus
bring da motherfuckin' ruckus
bring da mother, bring da motherfuckin ruckus
bring da motherfuckin ruckus
Verse One: Ghostface Killer
Ghostface, catch the blast of a hype verse
My glock bursts, leave in a hearse, I did worse
I come rough, tough like an elephant tusk
Ya head rush, fly like Egyptian musk
Aw shit, Wu-Tang Clan spark the wicks an'
However, I master the trick just like Nixon
Causin terror, quick damage ya whole era
Hardrocks is locked the fuck up, or found shot
P.L.O. style, hazardous, cause I wreck this dangerous
I blow sparks like Waco, Texas
Verse Two: Raekwon the Chef
I watch my back like I'm locked down, hardcore
Hittin sound, watch me act bugged, and tear it down
A literate type asshole, songs goin gold, no doubt
and you watch a corny nigga fold
Yeah, they fake and all that
Carryin gats but yo, my Clan
Rollin like forty Macs
Now ya act convinced, I guess it makes sense
Wu-Tang, yo sewwwwwwwww, represent
I wait for one to act up
Now I got him backed up
Gun to his neck now, react what?
And that's one in the chamber
Wu-Tang banger, 36 styles of danger
Chorus
Verse Three: Inspectah Deck
I rip it hardcore, like porno-flick bitches
I roll with groups of ghetto bastards with biscuits
Check it, my method on the microphone's bangin
Wu-Tang slang'll leave your headpiece hangin
Bust this, I'm kickin like Segall, Out for Justice
The roughness, yes, the rudeness, ruckus
Redrum, I verbally assault with the tongue
Murder one, my style shot ya knot like a stun-gun
I'm hectic, I wreck it with the quickness
Set it on the microphone, and competition get blown
By this nasty ass nigga with my nigga, the RZA
Charged like a bull and got pull like a trigga
So bad, stabbin up the pad with the vocab, crab
I scream on ya ass like your dad, bring it on...
Chorus
Verse Four: The Genius/GZA
Yo, I'm more rugged than slaveman boots
New recruits, I'm fuckin' up MC troops
I break loops, and trample shit, while I stomp!
A mudhole in that ass, cause I'm straight out the swamp
Creepin up on site, now it's Fright Night
My Wu-Tang slang is mad fuckin' dangerous
And more deadly than the stroke of an axe
Choppin through ya back *swish*
Givin bystanders heart-attacks
Niggas try to flip, tell me who is him
I blow up his fuckin prism
Make it a vicious act of terrorism
You wanna bring it, so fuck it
Come on and bring the ruckus
And I provoke niggaz to kick buckets
I'm wettin CREAM, I ain't wettin fame
Who sellin gain, I'm givin out a deadly game

CHINUA ACHEBE (NAPISAO 'THINGS FALL APART') VRACA SE U NIGERIJU
Another prominent author has returned to Nigeria, after years of
exile. Chinua Achebe, author of the 1958 novel Things Fall Apart,
which the New York Times calls "one of the most popular works of
African fiction in the West," returned to Lagos after a nine-year
absence. Achebe had come to the U.S. in 1990 for medical reasons,
and though his absence was not as pointedly a political exile as
that of Nobel Prize winner Wole Soyinka, it nonetheless drew
attention to the struggle for creative and other freedoms in
Nigeria.
Soyinka return to Nigeria last year, when the death of General
Sani Abacha signalled to possibility of less repressive civilian
rule. (Abacha was the guy who hanged writer and political critic
Ken Saro-Wiwa.) According to the Times, it's not clear whether
Achebe intends to stay in Nigeria or return to the U.S.
Note to anyone who hasn't read Things Fall Apart: Read it. Then
check out some other Nigerian authors and marvel at Africa's
most persistently fruitful literary scene.

TUPAC: USPOMENA NA NJEGA JOS ZIVI... NA SUDU
Not only has Tupac Shakur released albums since his death, he
has also been sued numerous times post-mortem-- or at least
his estate has anyway.
The latest in a string of lawsuits comes from the estate of
Orlando Anderson, who initially was a suspect in the artist's
untimely death in 1996, which occured just hours after Anderson
was assaulted by Shakur and Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight.
In September 1996, one week after Anderson sued Shakur's
estate in connection with his assault, Shakur's estate issued
a wrongful-death suit against Anderson for his alleged
involvement in the artist's death. The Shakur estate's suit
was later dismissed, and the two sides (allegedly) eventually
reached a settlement May 29, 1998, in which Anderson would
receive $78,000. But mere hours after the agreement was
reached, Anderson himself was gunned down.
Now, Anderson's estate is suing that of Shakur for unspecified
damages for subjecting Anderson "to cruel and unjust hardship,
and personal endangerment," as well as for allegedly breaching
the May 1998 oral contract.
Shakur's estate has also been involved in other lawsuits. Most
recently, it was named in a $500,000 lawsuit filed August 20
by artist Bad Azz, who claims to be owed royalties from "Krazy",
a track from Shakur's 1997 album, The Don Killuminati: The Seven
Day Theory.
In October 1998, Shakur's biological father, William Garland,
dropped his suit for half of the deceased artist's estate,
opting instead to agree to a settlement for approximately
$890,000.
In yet another suit, Shakur's mother, Afeni Shakur, filed a
$17 million lawsuit against Death Row Records in April 1997,
for royalties that the label allegedly never paid the artist.
The suit was filed soon after a $7.1 million Death Row suit
against Shakur's estate for money advanced to the artist for
various recording and living expenses. -- Eric Stern

SARADNJA - KOOL KEITH/BECK, METH THE THESPIAN...
Music news...it's pipin' hot and we're servin' it fresh!
It appears as if the estate of Bob Marley has finally resolved
its differences with Bunny Wailer and the estate of Peter Tosh.
According to Billboard, the two parties filed a suit in 1992
against the Marley family over nonpayment of royalties and the
use of the Tuff Gong trademark (the label that Bob Marley & The
Wailers called home).
In the settlement, which was reached in May but only disclosed
to the public September 1, Bunny Wailer and Tosh's estate will
receive over $2 million in royalties owed to them by Island
Records, and they will also be able to use one of the two Tuff
Gong images on products. Stand up for your rights!
Kool Keith, man of all things bizarre and quirky, looks as if
he's found a soul mate in the form of alterna-rocker Beck.
The duo from another planet will collaborate on Beck's
upcoming album (no title has been released as yet).
In an interview with allstar, Keith enthused about Beck's
joie de vivre and his musically open-mindedness: "I liked
working with Beck because it wasn't like a conceptual market
scam...He has no boundaries [and doesn't] cut any corners.
We have no musical limitations." But we wonder-- is Beck
a fan of hardcore porn? Hmm...
Ol' skool hip-hop acts Run-DMC, Whodini, Sugar Hill Gang,
and others have all signed the dotted line to take part in
"The Hip-Hop Fresh Fest," a mini-tour to celebrate the old
school days of rap. The tour will kick off September 10 in
Berkeley, CA, and wrap up October 3 in Cleveland, OH.
I'd highly recommend this show-- first of all, it features
Whodini, who so aptly called it that "The Freaks Come Out
At Night," plus this may be one of the last chances to revel
in a time when a rap show meant that you went to get your
boogie on, not get into three or four brawls before the
opening act even hits the stage!
And finally, I'll leave you all with my personal question
of the week: aren't those MTV Video Music Award Blair Witch
spoof commercials (featuring Chris Rock, Janeane Garafolo,
and Method Man) the funniest *^!# you've seen in a long
time? And I have to say, I think Method Man steals the
show in each one... discuss amongst yourselves!-- Saidah Blount

DJ Spinna Gives Pete Rock and Primo a Run for Their Money
It all started with an MC Eiht remix. And then remixes for
Das Efxĺs (Microphone Master) and De Laĺs (Stakes Is High)
which got everyone open. Next thing you know, this low-profile
Brooklynite becomes one of the most prolific and sought-after
producers in the indie hip hop scene. Backpackers worldwide
worship him, as music connoisseurs stand amazed by the
complexity and intricacy of his soundscapes. Basically,
when you hear dirty, bouncy drums, melodic samples,
echoed voices and spacey sound effects all over the place,
you know itĺs a Spinna sure shot.
For the Ĺ99, my man is coming with two plates for fans to
feast on. The Polyrhythm-Addictsĺ (the super-group featuring
Mr. Complex, Apani B. Fly Emcee and Shabaam Sahdeeq) Rhyme
Related LP (on Nervous) marks somewhat of a return to
Spinnaĺs earlier stripped-down style. Whereas the Heavy
Beats Vol. 1 EP (on Rawkus), with its uptempo instrumental
tracks, shows that Mr. Beyond Realĺs cipher expands way
beyond hip hop.
VICE: Youĺre into a lot of other stuff than rap music,
right?
Spinna: I listen to everything. Just funky records man,
whatever got funk on it.
I actually heard that you were from a house background.
I am. I just did a house record recently. I grew up with
that as well. Like in the mid-Ĺ80s when a lot of clubs
banned hip hop because of the violence and shit, they
started playing a lot of house and dance records and
shit. And a lot of hip hop heads that were going to
Union Square and Latin Quarters, they didnĺt have
anywhere to go, so they went to a lot of clubs in the
city that were playing house music. I was one of those
cats, but since Iĺm also a DJ, a lot of the records
that I grew up with being from the disco era, it was
easy to appreciate that kind of music. A lot of cats
will try to front like they canĺt fuck with that kind
of music, but people did listen to it when it was hot.
Every once in a while me and my girl will go to the club,
and house does have the whole homo stigma attached to it,
but if youĺre really all about the music, then that shit
wouldnĺt matter to you.
So were you producing house or hip hop first?
Hip hop, always. Hip hop is the foundation. I have memories
of people cutting up Big Beat on my block, and Impeach The
President, and a lot of those early breakbeat records that
cats were rhyming over back in the days. And I started
making hip hop beats, believe it or not, in Ĺ85. I had a
group since Ĺ85, we called ourselves The Top Choice Three,
and then another group after that. Then Jigmastas was
formed in Ĺ91.
What was your most memorable studio experience?
I got to say Puba, Sadat and Sir Menelik for the experience.
[Note: 7XL is the joint they did together, and itĺll be out
on Rawkus, Soundbombing II.] That was the first time I
actually was in the studio and recorded not a remix but a
Spinna production, with an artist that was already
established. And they were so professional: I didnĺt have
to tell them to do it over if they werenĺt happy they just
kicked their verse again. And Big L too, definitely. He
knocked it out quick. It was like: Yeah, Iĺm out. Peace. I
like professionalism man, I hate to be in the studio for
hours trying to get vocals done. That shit kills me.
Do you still go out digging a lot?
I donĺt do it that often anymore because I got bills too.
And I have a lot of records anyway. Honestly, right now
Iĺm mainly looking for a lot of rare dance classics. When
I DJ, the people I play for appreciate that kind of stuff.
Especially overseas: they want to get deep, they want to
hear other shit. I look for rare soul albums anything rare
and hot, even old reggae albums and 12s, early dancehall.
What bothers you the most with the state of hip hop right now?
The beats.
Spinnaĺs Top 5 Spinna joints: 1. Mr. Complex: Visualize
2. De La Soul: Stakes Is High Remix 3. Jigmastas: Beyond Real
4. Shabaam Sahdeeq: 5 Star Generals 5. Das Efx: Microphone Master
Remix. Also look out for a Jigmastas LP on Tommy Boy and a
Beyond Real compilation, featuring a Jigmastas track with Mr.
Complex, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Kweli and Pharoahe Monch.

BUSTA I PUFFY OPTUZENI!
Busta 'Bus' Rhymes was sentenced yesterday in Manhattan Supreme
Court to 5 years probation. He was charged with carrying a loaded
unregistered automatic weapon. Folks may recall that earlier this
year Busta was pulled over for erractic driving. The police used
the stop as an excuse to search his car and they discovered the
weapon. Busta had noted he began carrying a gun after he was
robbed at gun point a few weeks prior to the stop.
The 5 year probation sentence is not something to be taken lightly.
This means if Busta should have any sort of trouble i.e. smoking
weed or being caught with weed, he could go to jail for some time
because he will have violated his parole. It is these type of
conditions that get a lot of folks caught up in the judicial
system. Busta will have to watch himself carefully for the next
5 years. Believe me, the way things are going these days a high
profile, outspoken artist like Busta will be a target for police.
While Busta was dealing with his charge, fellow rap star Sean
Puffy Combs got off easy with his sentencing. As you know Puff
was facing charges for an assault against record executive Steve
Stoute. He was looking at a possible seven year stint in jail.
Instead he was given one day's anger management class. Damn, I
got a boy who did two weeks for not paying a ticket. I'm glad
Puff got off.. Lets hope he takes upon himself to set a better
example for those who may get the wrong message because of his
light sentencing.

HIP HOP U NEMILOSTI POLICIJE
Bad news for Ja Rule as Hartford Conn Police are pointing fingers
at his fans stating that they are way to rowdy. The other night,
during his concert more then 400 people stormed the stage when
Ja took the stage. In order to 'calm things down', the police
felt it was necessary to pepper spray the crowd. It isn't clear
as to how many arrest were made, but many are saying the police
totally over-reacted. It seems like this is a growing trend..
Since I reported the police brutality incidents after the Source
Awards, I've gotten a number of letters from all over the country
reporting similar behavior. The Hartford concert is the latest
one.. There have been reports coming from New York City, a couple
of additional scenarios out in Los Angeles and one in New Orleans.
The common thread seems to be the police coming out and running
some sort of practice drills during or after Hip Hop concerts.

MASTER "MAKE 'EM SAY UHHH" P
Let's give big props to Master P for his business savvy. He was
recently noted as one of America's richest people under 40.
According to Forbes Magazine, P is worth an estimated $361
million dollars. In fact Master P out earned Michael Jordan
who is worth $257 million.
Now before people start writing Master P off and lambasting
his rap skills or noting that 'money doesn't always make the
man', P gets props for embracing a Hip Hop work ethic. By
that I mean, from day one he figured out a way to create his
own opportunities. People from the Bay Area will recall that
not so long ago, Master P was hustling tapes in the streets
of Richmond, California and getting dissed left and right.
People kept saying they didn't dig his sound nor rap style.
I recall him always up to the radio station damn near
everyday with a different song trying to get it on the air
and getting dissed by deejays who are now all over his nuts.
During the time P was coming up, the Bay Area was in it's
hey day with folks like Too Short, Digital Underground,
E-40, Dru Down, 2Pac, Richie Rich, N2Deep, Souls Of Mischief,
Saafir, Spice One and a host of others getting the bulk of
the Hip Hop spot light and air play. However, P was operating
below the radar. He was consistently charting on Billboard's
Top 100 Chart and some how managing to sell records. The only
problem was no one in these here parts, could figure out where
P was selling his tapes. He was carving out a niche for
himself in the South. He was tapping into a market that many
people were either down playing or overlooking. The other
thing that P was doing was he was being persistent and not
letting any one person or radio station stand in his way and
define his destiny. He began doing what a lot of rappers
today won't do; He went to all those spots that people
avoided. He was selling himself at the local barbecue joints,
hair salons, liquor stores etc. In other words he was going
deep into the hood and making himself known. He paid attention
to an audience that many started either taking for granted
or ignoring. What P was figuring out was that no matter what
an MTV or KMEL was playing and presenting to the masses, the
streets in it's rawest sense would eventually dictate the
trends.
So basically Master P locked up the streets and made the people
enthusiastic fans of his music. He eventually developed a street
following that forced everyone to take a second look and listen
to his music. Kids that initially fronted on songs like 'How Ya
Do That There' and 'Make 'Em Say Uuuugh' were forced to play
these songs because the public overwhelmingly demanded to hear
them. P was proving to folks that you don't after cross over
you could make the industry 'tastemakers' and 'power brokers'
cross over to you. To a large degree Master P helped bring to
the forefront that gritty, grimy, dirty south sound that is so
popular right now. Who would've thought 4 year ago that a song
like 'Make 'Em Say Uuuugh' or 'It Ain't My Fault' would be Top
40 material selling millions of units? It certainly opened the
doors and paved the way for the Cash Money sound that everyone
is grooving too.. Master P caught a lot of folks off guard and
reinforced Hip Hop rule # 1- No one has a lock on the streets
and Hip Hop.. No One!
To best illustrate P's influence, I recall deejaying at a popular
club one night to a packed house that was damn near screaming with
enthusiasm with every song I played. I ran a set that started off
with 'Eric B for President' and covered everything from Public
Enemy's 'Can't Truss It', Foxy Brown's Bad Mamma Jamma', Eric B &
Rakim's 'I Know You Got Soul', Kirk Franklin's 'Stomp', AMG's
'Bitch Betta Have My Money' and Volume 10's 'Pistol Grip Pump'.
I had pulled off my shelves a Hip Hop classic and was basically
running my set just so I could drop this song and send the crowd
into a total frenzy. After watching folks go bananas over 'I Know
You Got Soul', I dropped Big Daddy Kane's 'Ain't No Half Stepping'.
When this song first came out, it was the bomb and since folks
hadn't heard it in a while and I knew it would set things off.
To my surprise the perfectly mixed song cleared my dance floor
with folks coming up demanding that I play 'something good'. A
number of folks started asking for Master P's 'How Ya Do That
There' which up to that point wasn't even being played on radio.
I cut off Big Daddy Kane and dropped the song and the place
completely erupted with folks singing along. To this day I'm not
a fan of that song, but there were many a nights I had to play it
in order to please my audience. It was one of our radio stations
most requested songs and even during my KPFA Hip Hop show, I had
kids calling up demanding to hear this track. It wasn't like
Master P had people who just enjoyed his songs, he cultivated
Master P fans who buy every tape and listen and know every song.
A lot of artist don't do the ground work and take steps to
develop a following. They let radio, magazines and videos shows
do the recruiting. The end result of doing this is that many
artist wind up enjoying the attention showered upon them by MTV,
KMEL or Source Magazine fans who are following the dictates of
these respective mediums. So if a magazine like The Source says
Master P is in today and out tomorrow, fans of that magazine
are likely to follow suit. This is different than having a huge
supportive following that economically demands that a magazine
put you on the cover or a radio station plays you. P gets credit
for doing that for developing such a fan base.
He also gets credit for playing the industry game to the fullest.
He seemingly understands the politics of the radio and record
industry and he works it with the best of them. He recognizes
that this industry is all about business hence Master P has
adjusted himself to make wise business moves. The only time
things will change is when Master P owns his own radio station
and magazine and then he can make his rules from which to play by.
Lastly, there are lots of people who will bitterly complain that
Master P cheapens Hip Hop.. They'll say his music is inferior and
his image is 'too ghetto' or 'too country' for Hip Hop. The
question I always raise is this; Is the average Master P fan also
some one, who is going out and buying a Beatnuts tape or a Mos
Def cd? If so, then I assert that Master P brought new fans to
the game which helps out Hip Hop because they may have gotten
open to some other material. Now flip the question, Is the average
Mos Def, Jurassic 5 or Beatnuts fan going out and purchasing the
new Master P or Silk The Shocker tape? In my opinion probably not.
The point I'm making is that Master P is not taking away from
Hip Hop he's adding. Don't hate on P because he managed to get
new people to the table. The so called 'keep it real' type
Hip Hop fan is not being influenced or corrupted by Master P and
his music. If Master P is somehow able to ruin hip hop, then I
say Hip Hop wasn't that strong in the first place. If the
Mos Def fan abandons the style and flava that Mos Def brings to
the game in favor of Master P, I say that individual was never
a Mos Def fan in the first place. It's either that or Master P
has a tighter program that appeals to folks. Think about it.
How can I get mad if the fan who grew up listening to Rakim
turns around and says he's into the Master P sound? What did P
do wrong? All he did was play the game and the fans made their
respective choices. There is nothing stopping the Mos Def fan
or The Beatnuts fan from going out and presenting material to
the Master P fan.. The truth of the matter is most won't. Even
sadder is that many will not play the game of power politics
within the music industry to force power shakers to cross
over and respect a 'true Hip Hop sound'.

JOS JEDNOM ZA MUMIA ABU JAMALA
This Saturday September 11th, the Hip Hop community will be
stepping forth in an attempt to bring more attention to the
plight of Mumia Abu Jamal. Mumia as many should know, is a
journalist who was convicted of murdering a Philadelphia
police officer named Daniel Faulkner back in 1982. He's been
sitting on Pennsylvania's Death Row for almost 19 years. The
circumstances surrounding Mumia's trial and conviction has
been controversial. Many are proclaiming his innocence and
that Mumia is a political prisoner. There are many who feel
that there was a lot of crucial evidence that was suppressed
at his trial and that he was railroaded through the justice
system because of his outspoken views on police brutality,
his support of a political nationalist group called MOVE and
the fact that he was a former member of the Black Panthers.
In recent years support for Mumia has picked up as many have
come to see him as a symbol of resistance for the continued
building of the Prison Industrial Complex. Mumia's insightful
commentaries and writings have helped people focus on the
growing trend in America to build more prison and less
schools. The concept of rehabilitation has all but been
abandoned as a goal for these new human warehouses. Many of
these new prisons are being run by private corporations who
are now contracting out inmates to work for literally pennies
a day for major companies. Recently a list was put out
showing companies ranging from Eddie Bauer to Toy R Us as
using some form of prison labor. Many are looking at all
these new prisons as being the modern day slave camps with
a disproportionate number of Black and Brown folks filling
the cells. Mumia supporters in addition to demanding a new
trial for Mumia, have been trying to prevent a death warrant
from being signed and combatting the growing Prison
Industrial Complex.
This weekend a number of rallies will be held around the
country to help bring more attention to his situation. As
of now he has just about run out of appeals and there's a
strong likelihood a death warrant will soon be signed.
Entitled 'The National Day of Art', here in the Bay Area
groups like Michael Franti and Spearhead, The Coup,
Digital Underground along with Michelle N'Dagacello and
activist Angela Davis will come together for a free
concert at Delores Park in San Francisco. A few thousand
are expected to show up.. The event kicks off this Saturday
at 1pm..
While all this is taking place, the Fraternal Order Of
Police are busy at work retaliating. They are in earnest
belief that Faulkner was murdered in cold blood and have
taken a strong dislike to all the artist and celebrities
coming out to support Mumia. As a result they have been
calling for a boycott. Thus far artist like Chuck D, De La
Soul, Everlast and The Roots are the target of a police
boycott. There's also a long list of rock singers who are
also being targeted. While it may be ok to protest and
show objection to one's political and social beliefs, a
more serious question gets raised with this so called
'police boycott'.
Does this mean that the above named artist will be subject
to police harassment? Remember this is what happened to
artist like Naughty By Nature when they decided to sue the
NY police department. For a full year they were constantly
being stopped and bothered by police. It happened so much
to the point that group member Vinnie said he would
seriously have to think twice about traveling that road
again. Does it mean that when these groups come to town
that trouble will break out at their concerts? Or will
the police use their influence and discourage venues from
booking these artists. Here in the Bay Area many rap
artists find themselves under the gun of local police
departments who have successfully kept them out out of
numerous venues. Most notably is The Shoreline
Amphitheater in Mountainview, Ca which is home to KMEL's
large urban/rap concert called Summer Jam. All in all it
looks like the stakes are rising and the FOP may be
using the boycotts as a sort of intimidation tactic to
slow the momentum and discourage support for Mumia. We'll
keep you posted as all this continues.

PROSLAVA GODISNJICE THE WAKE UP SHOW-A
Last Thursday, September 2cd Sway and Tech had their 9th
anniversary for the World Famous Wake Up Show, at the
Reseda country club near LA. They event included and
all-star line up of emcees and b-boys and at he end the
hyped "heavyweight freestyle championship of the world"
between Supernatural and Juice. Throughout the past few
years these two cats have been getting a lot of mention
on the Wake Up Show for their freestyling ability. Both
have been on the show before in freestyle sessions and
have been deemed two of the best from the underground,
but it was time to see who was the best of the best. Nine
judges decided upon a battle of three one-minute rounds
for a grand prize of five thousand dollars. At the end
of the battle, the undeniable winner was Supernatural.
One of the highlights of the battle was when Supernatural
ripped Juices name up in front of his face, and started
talking about how Juice couldn't even look into his
eyes because Juice knew himself he was wack.
Besides the freestyle battle the show preceding it was
one of the best I have seen in a long time. Among the
all-star roster were performers such as Rhazel (the
godfather of noise), Xhibit, Pharoe Monch, Planet Asia
and Rasco, Chino XL, and B-boy Ivan and his crew (These
are the same cats that were in the Wake Up Show anthem
video). Rhazel freaked his set when he proved to all
the nonbelievers that he could do the beat of a song
and the vocals at the same time- he blew everyone away
when he did both the beat and the vocals to the
song "If your girl only knew" by Aaliyah.
Rasco and Planet Asia made the crowd go bananas with
their hit 'Takin It Back Home" and 'Blood Brothaz'.
Overall this was one of the best Hip Hop shows put on
in a long time. Not a single person that I saw left the
show unsatisfied. Big ups to Sway and Tech for representin'
all the elements of Hip Hop to the fullest. If you missed
the show last Thursday, parts of it will be rebroadcast on
KMEL this Friday night from 10-1p.m or at a where ever
else the show is syndicated. Don't sleep- listen to the
show and support. Also the Wake Up Show video will be
coming soon.

Kada su juce u City-ju doveli onog "majmuna" Milosa da
promovise jednu stvarno zanimljivu knjigu, nisam ni slutio da ce
covek sa dve recenice da razjari fanove Tupac-a, a i ono ljudi
koji prvi put cuju za njega svakako da odvrati od daljeg zblizavanja
sa jednim od najuticajnijih repera u SAD.
Pacijent je 2paca predstavio kao samo "najprodavaniju medijsku
licnost u SAD", da bi nastavio sa pogresnim tumacenjim fotografije
na kojoj 2pac izlazi iz bolnice u zavojima samo par sati posle
prvog ranjavanja u liftu jedne visespratnice, a sto je glupavi Milos
prokomentarisao sa "...to je on samo par dana pre smrti sa poslednjom
recenicom na ustima i uzdignutim srednjim prstom." :((
Vrhunac svega bilo je pitanje voditeljke, kako komentarise "gluposti
koje je 2pac pravio posle izlaska prvog albuma?!" na sta je cenjeni
ljubitelj crnog zvuka, Milos, odgovorio: " Te gluposti koje je za zivota
pravio mogu da povezem samo sa njegovom borbom za ljudska prava
i prava crnaca u Americi".
Ove gluposti su ono o cemu sam pricao. Nije problem u Puff Daddyu,
2pac-u ili BIG-u, vec u pacijentima tipa Milosa, promotera sinocnjeg
dogadjanja i njemu slicnih kojima je jezik brzi od mozga, za koje se
ponekad upitam da li ga uopste imaju i zasto ga ne koriste za neke
stvari koje su im malko razumljivije, a ne za lose reklamiranje crne
muzike i njenih najboljih predstavnika.
Hteo sam da idem na promociju, ali drskost i neznanje Milosa i
slicnih, samo mi je ukazalo da tamo ne bi bilo nista sto ce crnu
muziku promovisati onako kako treba, vec upravo suprotno.
Nek' im je na cast.

KURTIS BLOW NAPRAVIO LOS POTEZ, ALI... OL' SCHOOL'S BACK!
Kurtis Blow gave no meaning to his name 'Blow' this past Friday
night when he had to be restrained by Berkeley police from
throwing 'blows' at a concert promoter for not paying him. The
way it all went down was like this..
The 20th Anniversary Fresh Fest tour kicked off this past Friday
at UC Berkeley's Greek Theater. About 2 thousand people showed
up to watch Run DMC, Whodini, Sugar Hill Gang, Mele-Mel and
Kurtis Blow put it down like they used 'back in the days'.
Whodini opened up and completely shocked the house. They got
the crowd so hyped that it was obviously a major oversight on
behalf of the promoter to put them first. Whodini let crowd
know their sentiments about having to open up. Ecstasy explained
back stage that they were gonna leave the crowd exhausted and
let down by the next act. BTW Ecstasy explained that Whodini
will soon be doing all their business on the internet. They
are in the process of launching their new website and will be
following the lead set by Chuck D and others..
Ecstasy's words rang true as Sugar Hill Gang followed with a
lack luster performances which was sparked up by Mele-Mel who
is now an official member of the group. That's right, there
ain't gonna be no Grand Master Flash reunion anytime soon Mele
told me he's now making albums with Sugar Hill.. Hopefully
Mele- can help them tighten up their performance a bit. Mele
explained that he now considers himself Mr Multi-Media. He
intends to do everything. He has a movie about to drop around
the beginning of the year which will chronicle the career
of Grand Master Flash and The Furious Five. He also explained
that he's been lifting weights and training so he can eventually
get into the whole wrestling scene. You have to admit he has
a colorful name.
Run DMC closed the show with a stellar performance which left the
crowd standing.. Make no mistake they are truly the 'Kings Of Rock'.
Backstage, Jam Master Jay told me about the groups upcoming new
album which he insists will be off the hook. He talked about a hot
track he just did with Old Dirty Bastard. One of Jay's partners
pointed out that ODB because of all his craziness and controversy
is set to sell a million records. Jay noted that ODB doesn't sound
like some one who is that crazy with his new song 'Get Your Money'.
Maybe there is a method to ODB's madness. Lastly he clarified
some of the events that took place during the MTV Music awards.
He explained that when Diana Ross removed the statute while Adam
from the Beasty Boys was talking, it was only so his face could
be seen on the large screen tv inside the venue. As he was
speaking on the situation at Woodstock, his award was blocking
his face.. Anyway Run DMC showed and prove they are still in
the game..
The evening belonged to Kurtis Blow. As the crowd was leaving,
many were wondering what happened to Kurtis.. His entourage which
included members of New York's famed New York City Breakers were
present, but alas no Kurtis. As the stage was being shut down and
the houselights turned on.. Kurtis Blow came rushing onto the
stage. He grabbed a mic which happened to be on and started
shouting to the crowd that he was Kurtis Blow and he was here to
perform for them. Everyone stopped in their tracks to listen.
Kurtis continued to explain that he was delayed by Southwest
Airlines.. Apparently he was in Cleveland for the Rock-N-Roll
Hall of Fame conference that afternoon. Kurtis told the crowd
that he wanted to do at least one song, but the promoters
wouldn't let him. 'Can I at least do one song?' , he asked the
crowd. They yelled back with much enthusiasm. "they won't let
me perform', Kurtis pleaded . 'I flew all the way out here
to perform for you and they won't let me do at least one song'.
The security that was headed toward the stage to remove Kurtis
had to back off once they saw the crowd was fully behind him.
One of his dancer started busting a headspin on the stage and
the crowd went nuts. Somebody managed to re-hook up the dat
machine and some of the disassembled equipment and Kurtis Blow
dropped his signature song 'The Breaks'.
Needless to say, everyone loved it..especially when Kurtis began
executing break moves with his dancers. It was a great way to end
the evening as everyone left completely satisfied. Now this is
where the drama begans. Backstage the promoters informed Kurtis
that he wasn't gonna get paid because his performance forced the
venue to go over time..Kurtis had a strong difference of opinion.
His flight had messed up and he did his best to get there and
rock the house.. Kurtis was up in the promoter's face demanding
his money, and the promoter was saying 'No'. The police and other
personnel ushered Kurtis and the promoter to a side room to work
things out.. As I was chatting it up with Mele-Mel.. I suddenly
saw a swarm of people and an angry Kurtis Blow throwing jabs
like Mike Tyson. The flustered promoter was whisked away and
police held Kurtis back.. I'm not sure of the final outcome..
but I do recall one of the officers saying out loud how they
grew up listening to Kurtis and didn't wanna have to take him
to jail. Hopefully the situation gets resolved. If you don't
see Kurtis on the subsequent Fresh Fest Tours, then you will
know why. Props to Kurtis for a great show even if it was last
minute.. Bad move for him to take the street approach toward
resolving his dispute. A lawsuit and an assault charge is not
the way to go out especially for a Hip Hop pioneer. As I've
often pointed out such outcomes set back Hip Hop in a big way.
Heck if Kurtis didn't get his loot he could've taken his case
to Judge Judy and sold tons records as a result of the publicity
and notoriety.

LET THE MUMIA FREE!
Props to Digital Underground, The Coup, Michael Franti and
Spearhead and the 5 thousand Hip Hop fans who showed up for the
Mumia 911 free concert at Delores Park in San Francisco this
Saturday. The event which was part of the National Day Of Art
was a huge success as the message to Free Mumia and grant him
a new trial was surely felt and shared by all who showed up.
Rap stars like Saafir, Mystic Journeymen, Funky Man, Local
1200, Naru, Midnight Voices, Radio who rocked an impromptu
beatbox performance and numerous others all came out to support
the event. Many opted not to come on stage but instead circulated
around the crowd and hung with the people. The case around Mumia
and all the connecting issues is one that everyone is getting
behind.
Digital Underground put on a great performance. They put out a
new song called 'Pimpin' which had the capacity crowd pumping
their fist in unison. Humpty Hump prefaced the song by
explaining that only a punk who has no respect for himself
goes around pimping women. He explained that in his younger
days he acted ill, but that he had matured and now sees things
from a different perspective. Humpty also took time to break
it down about Mumia and 2Pac. He talked briefly about how if
2Pac was alive he would be on hand to support the efforts to
free Mumia. He talked about the steps 2Pac was taking to
become more political prior to his death. Humpty explained how
America is a prison for a lot of people of color and that
everyone has to step forth and try and make a difference..
His remarks were heartfelt and appreciated.
The Coup who opened up set the tone for the day.. with their hard
hitting politically laced yet funky lyrics..Boots as usual
dropped mad science about the building of prisons and how we all
need to step up... Due to the hot sun, DJ Pam Tha Funkstress
couldn't wreck shop like she normally does on the turntables.
Her records kept melting. The day however, belonged to headliner
Michael Franti and Spearhead who put an end to anyone who likes
to use the term alternative Hip Hop to describe him. Yes, he
didn't just rapped, but this brother left everyone knowing that
Hip Hop has a certain energy and spirit that moves you.. He
succeeded in executing Hip Hop Rule # 6, he moved the crowd into
a complete frenzy. It was dope. More importantly the message
about Mumia got across. The performances were interspersed
with speeches from former Black Panthers and youth activist.
The keynote speaker was Angela Davis. The crowd was completely
diverse with folks of all ages and races.. Hip Hop ruled the
day.. Funny thing is I saw no mention of this off the hook
concert on the evening news.. I did however see full coverage
of the Opera in the Park concert which drew about 5 thousand
people as well.. But what more should you expect in America.
I have tons of footage from this concert and will be posting
it soon..

JOS MALO O SHAKURU...
Three years ago to this day 2Pac Amaru Shakur passed away in an
untimely death. He died as a result of gun shot wounds he received
several days prior while enroute to an after party for a Mike Tyson
fight. It is no secret that Pac left behind a legion of fans who
were touched by his words and music. He also left behind a trunk
load of songs, many of which have been released as bootlegs. Three
years ago when Pac died, I recall brothers breaking down in tears
in the middle of the street. Many felt that Pac represented their
struggles, pain, trials and tribulations. He spoke to their mindset
and hence with his death they lost much more then just a rap artist.
Many felt they lost an important part of themselves. Many people
spoke about how 2Pac inspired them and how his music helped them
cope with the day to day struggles they faced in their own lives.
Last night we paid tribute to 2Pac with a special radio show on
106 KMEL. The question that was asked. 'How have folks taken
their heartfelt admiration for 2Pac and incorporated in their
lives today'? Was Pac's untimely death something that was in
vain? How have people truly honored them.
Money B of Digital Underground was one of Pac's closest friends.
Last night, he spoke passionately about how Pac was the type of
individual who always remained focused. He talked about how Pac
pretty much had stepped up and accomplished everything he set
out to do including making movies and touching people. Money
recalled how Pac came as an uninvited guest to the auditions
to the movie 'Juice'. Money was invited to read for a part. Pac
tagged along and when he got there Money suggested that Pac
read for the part of Bishop. The rest is history. He also spoke
about how Pac wanted very much to live on to see his all his
dreams fulfilled. Pac often felt that he would not live very
long.
Money B spoke passionately about how so many people have
disrespected 2Pac by tarnishing his memory with insincere
tributes, songs and faulty positioning. He talked about how
certain rappers within the industry have gone so far as to
publicly talk about how 2Pac was 'their homie' when they in
fact they had never even knew him. He talked about how others
have invoked Pac's name and imagery in songs, videos and
interviews after they set off major beefs with him. 'I have to
question how sincere people are when they talk about 2Pac in
some of these songs', Money said. 'By bringing up Pac's name
in songs and interviews are they attempting to mend fences or
attempting to capture West Coast record sales'? This was a
question Money B raised in a song he put on his new album.
Money talked about how one unnamed rapper had build a career
around memorializing and emulating 2Pac when he knew for a
fact that when Pac was around the two never crossed paths and
he totally hated this rapper's music. 'If your really down for
Pac and are all about showing respect.. don't keep all the money
write his momma a check'. This was another stinging line that
Money dropped in his new song.
Money also pointed out how numerous individuals who hardly knew Pac
were now attempting to cash in by releasing out dated songs writing
'tell all books'. He concluded by noting that many within the Digital
Underground camp are working closely with 2Pac's mother Afeni, and
grass root organizations including former Black Panthers within the
Bay Area to put together a 2Pac Youth Conference. The event is
scheduled to take place in December and it will be in step with what
Pac wanted. No matter what people thought, or read about the brother,
he always wanted to reach back into the hood and help pull others up.
In fact when he was alive he help set up an after school program and
writers workshop which continues on to this day. It had and continues
to have the support of numerous Bay Area rap artist like Mac Mall,
Ray Luv, Chaunce, Mr Ill and Khayree to name a few. Now headed by his
first manager Leila Steinberg, the program over the past few years
had been extended to numerous Bay Area High Schools where artist
would put together assemblies in which they spoke to kids about ways
to resolve problems. Students are often rewarded with impromptu free
performances.
Leila Steinberg who was also on the show last night talked about the
types of programs and cirriculum that is being developed around 2Pac.
She talked about the success of a college course that was taught at
UC Berkeley. There students studied 2Pac's writing and the social
settings around Pac's music. The course was very intense and founded
by a grad student named Arman Elihu. This year the class will be
taught at John Hopkins University in Baltimore. Remember Baltimore
was home to Pac in his early years. In fact he went to school with
actress Jada Pinkett when he lived in Baltimore. There's a strong
possibility the 2Pac will class will also be taught at UCLA and USC
in southern California.
The other thing to look out for will be the release of a book
called 'The Rose That Grew From Concrete'. This is not only the
title of a poem but also a metaphor that 2Pac often used to
describe his life. The book which will drop on November 8th,
will contain much of the poetry that 2Pac wrote during the
writer's workshops he help start. If you ever read any of
Pac's poems, they are absolutely incredible. In fact many of
them are deeper then the lyrics to his songs. Early on, I was
given permission to put up some of those poems on my website
http://www.daveyd.com. When Leila went to teach the 2Pac
workshop in South Africa, she came across kids who were wearing
t-shirts with some of the poems written on the back. In addition
to the book, an album entitled 'And Still I Rise' will also be
coming out under Amuru Records. Bear in mind there are still
a number of unreleased 2Pac songs that have not been bootlegged.
One song that is off the hook and will really get folks thinking
is a track called 'Why The Good Die Young'. The title track
which has been bootlegged has been redone and reproduced. That
too is off the hook. The album will also drop in November.
Lastly, Money B and Leila spoke to the issue of Pac's death and
all the theories about him being alive. Both noted that it
really is time for folks to let go and move on. 'Everyday
people come up to me and tell me to tell Pac's what's up?,
Money noted. 'Trust me he's gone..as long as we talk about
Pac and continue to be inspired, he'll be alive in our hearts,
he added. Leila concurred by talking about the pain that 2Pac's
mother and family feel over his death. 'His death his not
something to play with.. it's still the source of a lot of pain',
she noted. The show ended with Money B talking about how he
regrets not ever telling Pac how proud he was of him 'making it'..
He noted that no one is promise tomorrow, and therefore people
should take time out today to tell the people they love and
care about, how much you love them. We'll keep everyone abreast
of the upcoming 2Pac events and happenings.

Deloris Tucker, predsednica Nacionalnog politickog kongresa zena,
i bivsi guverner Pensilvanije, poznatija kao predmet prozivki Tupac
Shakura u pesmama "How do you want it" i "Wonder Why They Call
You Bitch", izgubila je parnicu u sporu sa pravnim zastupnicima
preostale Tupacove imovine.
Naime, doticna Deloris Tucker tuzila je "nasledjivace Tupacove
imovine" i trazila odstetu od 10 miliona dolara jer je, navodno,
dozivela velike emotivne stresove, bas kao i njen muz, a sve zbog
javno izrecenih prozivki Tupaca u gore navedenim pesmama.
Deloris je na sudu rekla da su stresovi ostavili toliko velike posledice,
da "vise nije u stanju cak ni da spava sa svojim muzem, a o javnom
kaljanju njihovog prezimena suvisno je govoriti".

ma taj Gru je klosar nevidjeni.. letos kad sam ga sreo na Adi i malo
pikao basket sa njim uverio sam se u to.. covek doso u pocepanim patikama,
pustio bradu, onako cupav sav nikakav i uz to je jos bio i najlosiji medju
njima a u medijima se nesto hvali kao ja sam do jaja igrac.. kasnije smo mu
ortak i ja izvukli prosek kad smo usli namesto dvojice likova koji su morali
da pale jer od nas stvarno nije tesko biti bolji.. bila je to dobra partija
ali samo jedna O:).. jedno sat vremena posle toga, dok smo optrcavali Adu,
konstatovali smo ga kako vozi rolere po stazi iznad nudisticke plaze :>..

view was and is the great equalizer.
His goal was to develop a 'super' Hip Hop website that would
Enlighten, Entertain and Empower both the fan and artist alike. He
wanted a website that would ideally eliminate the middle man and
allow the artist to get his just due. Well folks that site is now
here. Rap Station http://www.rapstation.comwill launch on Wednesday
September 29th at the House of Blues In Los Angeles. It's expected to
be the premier Hip Hop site on the net both in technology and
content. More importantly it will be a major hub for artist trying to
make their way in this shady music business.

MARIAH CAREY vs LAURYN ?
Lately there have been nasty rumors floating around town about singer
Mariah Carey having some major beef with 'L-Boogie' aka Ms Lauryn
Hill. The popular version of the story asserts that Lauryn and Mariah
were scheduled to do a song together and for some unknown reason, Ms
Carey decided to jump ship. The beef started because she never
informed Lauryn about her change of heart. Ms Hill supposedly took
Mariah's lack of communication as a major insult and publicly
promised never to do work with her again. Folks all over were licking
their chops as they anticipated the drama that would occur between
these two superstars.
The other day Mariah Carey came on our radio station 106 KMEL and
cleared up the misperceptions. She emphatically maintained that
whoever reported the story did not have their facts correct and that
the entire story was a 'straight up lie'. Mariah broke it down as she
informed us that she and Lauryn had never even spoke about doing a
song together. She was pleasant on air but obviously annoyed that
folks were running rampant with the story. So perhaps there was some
static. I can't say for sure. All I know as of a couple of days ago,
Mariah said her and Lauryn having beef a total lie...

I OPET ONI...
Seems like 2Pac and Notorious BIG will forever be connected to each
other. This month the one time friends turn rivals were featured on
the cover of Vibe Magazine which did a retrospective look at their
life and times. Earlier this year Nas dropped a heartfelt song
entitled 'We Will Survive' that connected the pair. Now folks will
have the last month of the century to sit back and reflect
on Pac and Biggie.
Bad Boy records has just announced that they will be releasing the
much anticipated 'Born Again' lp from the late Notorious BIG on
December 7th. The lp will feature unreleased tracks from Biggie
and will feature production from all sorts of heads ranging from
Nas to D-Dot to DJ Primier to Biggie's mom doing a narration.
While folks are getting their fill of Biggie, 2Pac's memory will
be resurrected with the release of his spoken word book entitled
'A Rose From Concrete. This project will feature many of Pac's
earlier writings before he hit the 'big time'. Pac was a part of
a writer's group with his old manager Leyla Steinberg. He along
with numerous other heads including his original rap partner Ray Luv
used to write poetry. Some of these poems are extremely intense
and lend much insight into the mind of 2Pac. Following on the
heals of this book will be a brand new 2Pac album. Topping the
whole 2Pac onslaught will be a conference held in Oakland around
the first week in December. The 2Pac conference will be a youth
conference targetting young adults and teens by addressing relevant
issues effecting them. 2Pac's mom Afeni Shakur along with a
committee of Bay Area youth activist are hard at work putting
this together.
Lastly, Afeni Shakur has somehow managed to get a hold of 40
thousand pieces of bootleg material featuring 2Pac. Those bootlegs
are being distributed for free to youth groups and high schhool
kids all over the country. It's being done in an attempt to bring
awareness to the upcoming conference.

REAGOVANJA...
Writer Adissa Banjoko aka The Bishop has lost all patience with
rappers who feel that journalist are easy marks who should bear the
brunt of their anger and misgivings. In a written statement that is
normally uncharacteristic from the mild mannered Adissa, he took
Wu-Tang member U-God to task for his rude and belligerent behavior
during a recent interview. Below is the email that Adissa sent out...
"I just tried to interview U-God from Wu-Tang
for Iron Fist on-line mag, but he acted like a trick!!The mag is
dedicated to No Holds Barred fighting (like the Ultimate Fighting
Championship)and Hip Hop culture. A lot of Hip Hop cats love
martial arts and vice versa.
U-God was SUPPOSED to be the big story on the Hip Hop end (with
interviews by Charles Gracie and Frank Shamrock on the martial arts
side).
Anyway, I EXPLAINED to his mark azz that some people from the martial
arts side of things may not know who he is so I was going to ask
basic questions, then some fight questions. After asking him how he
got into the Wu, he said "
Basically we all grew up together, for the 15 millionth time, in the
same project complex and blah-d-blah". I sensed his attitude and
said, that if he did not want to do the interview, he didn't have to.
He complained that I was asking him the same questions EVERYBODY asks
him.
I explained again that he'd be reaching a new audience that may not
know who he is and that those people NEEDED this background info. He
said
"Ask me some interesting questions"! I responded by asking him who
his favorite No holds Barred fighter was. He answered "I forgot that
niggas name. King Po, some shit. Master Pan, I don't know!! I'm not
even into that shit like that man"! At that point I told him the
interview was off. And he hung up the phone. As a big fan of Wu-Tang
and as a journalist I was disgusted and hurt. Obviously he must be
one of the spoiled ass MC's who think that just 'cause they got a
record out they can talk hella shit to anybody they want to. Well
FUCK U-GOD!! I'm sayin' if we was face to face, I would'a knocked
his ass out- straight up.
U-GOD, COME TO THE WEST COAST BAY AREA AND GET KNOCKED OUT!!!
I'M NOT JESSE WASHINGTON (NO DISRESPECT JESS)!!! I WON'T SUE YOU!!!
MAN TO MAN, HAND TO HAND GET AT ME AND LETS KNUCKLE UP. GLOVES,
NO GLOVES- WHATEVER. I RESPECT THE REST OF THE WU-TANG, BUT FUCK
YOU!!! I WILL TEACH YOU TO RESPECT YOUR FANS AND THE MEDIA!!! CALL
ME TOLL FREE AT (877) 247-9809 OR EMAIL mailto:
THEIRONFISTMAG@HOTMAIL.COM. THIS IS NOT A JOKE.
Adissa explained that he really took U-God's behavior to heart. The
incident had occurred several days ago and he was still steamed. He
had simply grown tired of artist who have decided to deal with
journalist in such a disrespectful manner. When further questioned
about his initial remarks, Adissa wrote this follow up letter to
fellow journalist Harry Allen..
Yes Harry, I did write all of it. For better or worse, the words are
all mine. I HOPE that I did not come off as some lunatic cat or some
dude looking to hate on the Wu-Tang. And I surely am not an advocate
of physical violence (especially in the black community). I'm a
serious fan of the Wu-Tang Clan. And, I consider myself a serious
journalist.
But make no mistake. This is a very real, very serious scenario on
my part. Any light in his home,or car he drives, or food on his plate
was placed there directly by myself, the rap media and the other fans
of the Wu-Tang. As a fan and a journalist, I was seriously hurt by
this event. I feel I was wrongfully disrespected. Keep in mind his
publicist was on the phone the whole time and did not understand his
point of view in the least bit. I think I deserve an apology from
him. Not with me on a "Bow down U God, punk nigga" tip. Just to hear
him tell me honestly "Yo man, I was having a bad day and I snapped"
kind of apology.
But that PROBABLY won't happen. So, I want to lock horns with U
God, hand to hand man to man. This is about ONE man (U God),
disrespecting another man (me). I don't want this to get blown out of
proportion into a east/west thing. I'll fight him for charity. ALL my
proceeds will go to CHARITY!! We can just meet in a neutral place.
We'll go to a gym and have one ref, and a man with a video camera in
the place. We'll fight (bare knuckle would be my choice) with no time
limits and no rounds until one of us gives up, or is knocked out. The
winner can keep all legal rights to the tape.
I'm tired of seeing great journalists and true human beings like
Cheo H. Coker, Danyel Smith and Jesse Washington being assaulted
and/or threatened by the artists they cover. Few Hip Hop journalists
make enough money to live off of. And most of us would do this for
free even if we didn't. We do this for the love of the art. And we
journalists TRY (at least most of us do) to portray these artists in
as good a light as possible. And you know what? 99.9 of them [the
artists] , even the gassed one's respect that. They understand that
the fans and the friendly media are key to their success and the Hip
Hop media especially has their best interest at heart. Hip Hop
journalists by and large are NOT enemies of the artists they cover.
And I have never interviewed ANY rapper with the intent to defame or
malign their name.
So, I figured that since he's like one of the last cats to come
out from their squad he would appreciate being the top rap feature in
the first launch of Iron Fist. Especially since it would put his name
and face in the hands of some new people who may have never heard of
him. You don't bite the hand that feeds you. So now the bitten hand
swings back!! Anyone who knows me knows I have not had a fight since
I was 19. I'll be 30 in Feb. so that shows you how genuine my
thoughts and emotions are.
But he shit on me, as a fan and a journalist. So, I want an apology,
or I want to fight. That may seem "illogical", or "crazy". But in a
subculture where we strive to be "real", my reaction should be no
shock to him or anyone else in the rap world.
I sill love the Wu-Tang, Hip Hop culture and all the people who
make it dope. But all cultures of the world have basic codes of
conduct. Ways we expect to be treated and treat our fellow man/woman
in return. If he wasn't U God, but was just some Joe Shmoe on the
ave. who talked to me like this, I would still want to fight. And his
status in the Hip Hop realm does not affect that.
Peace,
Adisa Banjoko
"The Bishop"
Overall, my personal thoughts on Hip Hop beefs are they are foul and
should not occur. This is not the Hip Hop way. But to know some one
like Adissa and see him come to this point, it is obvious that the
mannerism he encountered must've been way across the line. Perhaps
the eventual resolution to this disagreement can help close the rift
that seemingly exist between artist and the journalist who cover
them. The key will be a heartfelt conversation and not a knock out
and drag 'em fight..As we head on into the new Millennium both artist
and journalist will have to step up their game in a major way..Think
about it.

DJ CRAZE... INTERVJU
Hail the new DMC world champion DJ Craze! So confident were we that
he'd smash the competition again that we hooked up with him,
pre-battle to findout how he was preparing for his next
championship bout. The ever intrepid Saidah Blount found herself
record shopping with the Craze. Here's what happened next...
S: Will you state for the record who you are, your name and age?
C: My name is Craze, I'm from Miami, and I'm 21 years old.
S: Do you drink?
C: Do I drink? I drink a lot, only when I'm in clubs though.
S: So we've been record shopping. What do you usually look for
when you go to a record store? Do you want to get stuff
that people don't have? Do you like to get stuff that you
can fuck with on your own? Stuff that people won't recognize?
What do you like to get?
C: I'm not into collecting records 'cause I started too late
to catch up, that's going to be a bitch. I just try to buy
shit that I know people will like, and that they'll dance to
and shit that I like too, 'cause I don't buy commercial shit.
But I'll buy some commercial shit if I like it; I'm not just
an independent-head.
S: A lot of turntablists don't get people to dance, like a lot
of people just stand at the stage and watch, do you think
that's from the choice of material? I think you have more
of a lyrical and melodic style and you get the essence of
the music out of it. What do you think is the part of
the music that gets people dancing? Do you think it's the
style, the technique, or what?
C: You just got to control them. You got to know how to get them
started, and where to fuck them up. You got to take them like
on a little journey and shit.
S: What I also notice is the choice of records too is a good
indicator 'cause what you were playing was stuff that people
weren't expecting, I was expecting to hear more turntable
cut-up shit. I wasn't expecting to hear Mary J. Blige, and
I really enjoyed it. You are embracing drum'n'bass a lot
more, and also electro-- what is your background? What did
you grow up listening to?
C: Old Miami bass.
S: Nice. Like what types of groups?
C: Magic Mike, Jealous J., Jock B., all that crazy Megatron,
Dynamex 2 shit.
S: Have you found that more people who are spinning are
bringing in more of the element of that? 'Cause you're one
of the first artists that's gotten exposure for being diverse
with the records that you pick.
C: Well a lot of kids are trying to do drum'n'bass now 'cause I
did it and 'cause other kids are doing it and it's more like
of a fad. Like whatever, it's whatever people pick up as a
fad for that year. Whatever is like the new thing to do
everybody does it at the finals trying to do it their own
way. Nobody tries to be different. But now everybody's
trying to do everything different, everybody's got all
types of skills, everybody's trying to do everything, but
shit, now it's harder.
S: But that gives you more room to fuck with people's heads
though. Can you tell me a little bit about the collaborations
you're involved in, like the Ani [Obsessive Compulsive
Disorder] project, and anything coming up in the future?
C: Well I got that Ani EP coming up with me and Ani. I'm trying
to do my own shit, and I want to get a lot of people to guest
on my own album. Singing and rapping over my turntable beats,
but that's still in the works. For DMC I want to kick that
motherfucker's ass.
S: Who would you collaborate with? Who would you really want to
work with?
C: I want to work with Black Thought, that girl from Portishead,
Common, Eminem, hell yeah...
S: Mase?
C: Ha ha ha, no, not Mase. Uh, Mob Deep, maybe Guru? I don't know,
a lot of people.
S: Do you use any equipment besides a turntable and a mixer?
C: I made my whole album on an 8-track, just two turntables and
an 8-track. But now I'm buying my MPC and I'm going to get my
own studio started in Miami.
S: Do you classify yourself as having a certain style, do you think?
C: I don't know, it's just my style. I think I'm different from a
lot of DJs. I'm in my own little world. That's about it. I don't
know what my style is.
S: Have you been impressed with the UK? Like how the UK turntablists
have been coming out?
C: They're actually a part of our crew now, the [Scratch] Perverts.
S: Oh really?
C: I think me and Tony Vegas are going to go up against each other
in the worlds. We all got drunk, it was like, "Yeah, we should
get together. Yeahh!!"
S: What have you been listening to lately? Is there anything that's
caught your ear that you heard on the radio? Or anything that's
come down the wire to you.
C: Hmm. I dunno. I've just been listening to my own shit because
I'm trying to be my own little thing. Like word, how can I be
different? I've just been listening to my shit and all the shit
that we've been making.
S: Dope. Is that how you're mentally preparing? To get geared up
to win it again?
C: Oh naa, I've just been looking at all the videos, I haven't
been listening to shit actually, I've just been in my own
little world.
S: You also got other stuff on your mind. You're about to become
a father--how's that pressure?
C: That's nothing. I'm dealing with that OK. They come around
the same time so when those two months are over, I'm happy.
But I'm pretty stressed out.
S: You say you grew up listening to Miami bass, how did you get
into it?
C: My brother was a DJ before I was a DJ and he used to borrow
records to throw parties around the neighborhood, and I used
to listen to his records. Then I started buying my records
and that's it.
S: How much older is he?
C: I think he's like five years older than me.
S: So you caught right onto the DJ thing?
C: I just started out mixing, like freestyling old Miami music,
like Miami bass. That was until like '94, then I started
listening to the videos, and then I started rapping.
S: Do you battle in any of the other elements of hip-hop? You're
coming from the Miami bass background, that's not the
typical hip-hop background that most successful DJs have
come from?
C: I mean, I know it came from hip-hop. It started from battling
and trying to be better than each other. And that was the
whole B-boy aspect of it, so I know it came from hip-hop,
but you got a lot of kids from the UK who like drum'n'bass
music, then they got into hip-hop. Tony Vegas played guitar
or some shit like that. It came from hip-hop, but now it's
like in it's own little world.
S: That's only going to continue that way, people have
turntables like they have guitars. Would you like to see
turntablism recognized as a music?
C: A lot of kids are in it for the art actually. But I want
to take it to the commercial level. Like I know it's bad
in some ways to bring it to that commercial level where
everybody loves it, and everybody can actually dance to
it and be there and understand it instead of being like
hmmm. I want to be the Puff Daddy of turntablism.
[everyone laughs]
S: You can hate me now?
C: Yeah, you can hate me now.
S: Is that based on your desire to have fame, or is that
based on your desire to take the music that you love
to a whole different level, like a mainstream level?
C: It's the money. Nah, I want everybody to understand it and
appreciate it for what it is. It's the only art where you
can play any instrument, where you can be anything you want,
it's not robotic, it's on the spot, you don't just press
the button and let it go. It's an art.
S: You say it's not robotic, but when you listen to an album,
it comes across as very technical, something that's very
hard to listen to. I love it, but there's a transition
that's happening to make it from turntablism to turntable
music. What's your approach?
C: You can do anything with it. I think it has to be very
musical in order to blow up. It's still B-boyish. It's
still a little B-boy thing. Boom, bat, boom-d-boom-bat.
They need to get past that, get real musical with it,
so people can appreciate it more. So they can listen to
it for more than thirty minutes.
S: What do you think of Timbaland?
C: Timbaland? I think he's dope as fuck. I think he came out
with some different shit, and everyone just bit the shit
out of it. Commercialized it. I think he got a lot of his
shit from drum'n'bass though, his whole style and shit,
it's like dum-d-dum-d-dum.
S: He even claimed that bass is involved in that too, or you
still think drum'n'bass is?
C: It's a combination of hip-hop, bass, and drum'n'bass. It's
bass a lot too, but I think he's dope.
S: Who are your favorite producers?
C: Uh, I like Dilinja for drum'n'bass shit, I like the Roots'
production, Portishead production, that's about it. I like
Roni Size. Anything Roni does, I like it.
S: Would you work with him?
C: Hell yeah. Not make a cheesy song like he did for Redman
though. Oh woops, sorry Roni. He gotta come with a tighter
track.
S: What's are your favorite films?
C: Favorite films? I like The Shining, The Matrix, uh, what's
my funniest movie, hold up...holy shit, I don't know.
That's about it.
S: Do you enjoy the aspect of being a performer? My experience
with battles is limited, but from what I know, there's a lot
of personality involved. Do you think of that when you're
doing your routine? Also, what are you trying to get across?
C: I'm trying to be an ass hole on stage. Like the biggest
fucking ass hole, like, "Who the fuck does he think he is?"
I try to be as cocky as I can, and try to be like, when
people see that confidence it's like, "Oh, he's the shit,"
even when it's like, "Oh, fuck this nigga, who the fuck
does he think he is?" In the back of their minds, they
think he's the shit. I try to be cocky, I just try to
have fun with it. That's it.

KONCERT HIEROGLYPHICSA!
Weside!
Ah...the stimulating sight of breasteses. Yo, the shorties were out
Monday night as the number of boobs was almost equal to the number
of guys in the area when the Hieroglyphics made an uncommon east
coast appearance in NYC at the Wetlands Preserve.
Actually, contrary to popular belief, Hiero did not perform Monday
night-- instead, and to the disappointment of many fans,
"representatives" of the crew showed up, most notably Domino,
J-Biz, Casual, and Del.
Though the whole posse failed to make it out, Casual and Del did
rip cuts like sabres in the hands of Darth Vader while New Yorkers
caught a sneak peak at the soon-to-be-exploding West Coast hip-hop
resurrection.
This resurrection is being led by the strong contributions of
Californians including the Hieroglyphics, Dilated People, the
Living Legends, and Styles of Beyond.
Even the crowd at Wetlands felt a little West Coast, where
diversity was a refreshing change from the usual 18-24 year-old
black male emcee profile that are the usuals of NYC hip-hop
functions. Despite all the college kids in attendance, hardness
still reigned supreme, as serious head-nodding was as close as
the crowd got to getting open. This unfortunately meant less
bounce to the ounce regarding the breasteses.
Oh well... at least that homeless, bearded, beatbox guy showed
up to entertain due to Missin' Linx's extreme tardiness. L.A.
old schoolers Ugly Duckling also reared their ugly heads to
some people's enjoyment...some people's.-- Tony Le

REDMAN & METHOD MAN 'BLACKOUT'
When rumors first began leaking out that Method Man and Redman
would be collaborating on an album, I couldn't help but take a
skeptical "believe it when I see it attitude."
It wasn't just the unlikeliness of hip-hop's two biggest
self-proclaimed potheads motivating to record together--
"How High" proved that they had serious chemistry. It was more
the fear of a letdown if it never materialized-- or worse,
stunk like vegetarian farts.
Never before in hip-hop's history had such successful, distinctly
individual solo artists joined forces just because they liked
each other. We've moved into an age of strategic alliances
governing the industry, but when artists collaborate, it's to
consolidate markets (i.e. West Coast gangsta meets Southern
bounce, or East Coast jiggy meets Southern bounce, or East Coast
hardcore meets Southern bounce-- you get the picture) and it's
rarely out of artistic or personal connection.
What happened when the wonder twins united? Well, one can either
say that Blackout produced the same solid, funky, craftsmanship
that has been the hallmark of both Meth and Red's solo careers,
or you could say that it resulted in the same underachieving
effort that has allowed each artist to go platinum but kept
them out of the industry's highest echelon-- a charge Meth plays
into by repeatedly referring to himself as a "not ready for
prime time player."
It's true, there's nothing on here that any Method/Redman fan
hasn't really heard before. The real attraction is that it's a
full album's worth of raunchy, booming tracks from a couple of
the best MC's in the business.
Blackout was conceived and largely written on the bus the duo
shared during last year's Hard Knock Life Tour, and it reflects
the camaraderie that inevitably came from countless hours spent
together on stage and on the road. Meth and Red's styles blend
seamlessly on tracks like "Blackout" and the already popular
"Tear the Roof Off" and one can just see arena crowds around
the country being demolished by the wake of the bass-heavy
bounce of "1,2,1,2" and "The ?".
"Run 4 Cover" is good B-side or mixtape material, thanks to
RZA's buzzing production and Ghostface's typically abstract
guest verse. "Da Rockwilder" is the track that should catch
the most ears-- its sneaky, electro beat is the closest
Blackout comes to making a concession to popular produciton
trends, and it works.
Other than the bonus tracks (all of which could have been
left off without being missed), it's hard to even find a
wack song. There are a couple of lackluster tracks, like
the Das-EFX tribute, "Cheka," that's basically a cover of
"Microphone Checka," and "Maaad Crew," which borrows the not-so
famous late-era KRS chorus. Both devices are cute-- if anybody
can pull those off without offending it'd be Meth and Red-- but
they give the impression that they were running out of concepts
and reached for references to mask.
That doesn't take anything away from the fact that Blackout
is one of the most solid albums of the year and a sure-fire
treasure for any hip-hop fan. For years, my biggest complaint
has been that not enough hip-hop artists were making "complete"
albums-- facing impossible expectations, Method Man and Redman
did not make a classic but they did drop a bomb.-- Dap Dunlap

PETE ROCK ... SOUL CONTROLER #1
Pete Rock is hip-hop in some intangible, "fifth element" form--
love of self, love of community, love of life in the face of
hardship, love of survival by any means available. Existing
somewhere between the playa-haters and the hater players, he's
busts a humility and quiet confidence that many in the rap game
cannot match. Beat alchemist, jazz futurist, and a producer who
also holds a mic, Rock is more than Soul Brother. He's Soul
Controller #1.
Rock's blessed with a soulful vision of melodic and rhythmic
clarity. As a producer and remixer, he invented the infectuous
horn and off-beat chime sounds that producee Premier established
as his own trademark. He taught both Puff Daddy and Jermaine
Dupri how to croon on their productions. After defining one of
the most recognizable sounds in hip-hop, in two historic albums
for Elektra with partner C.L. Smooth, he left the label when
they pushed him to go more commercial. The ensuing strife
soured his relationship with C.L., and brought him to Loud
Records. His debut as a solo artist, Soul Survivor, dropped
last month from the label.
In music, original ideas can get appropriated before they gain
prominence; essential visions sometimes get confused in the
marketing and re-marketing process; audiences can be deceived
by concepts originally meant to enlighten. But that's not the
case with Soul Survivor. The album delivers that rare commodity,
truth, with sonic directness, through infectuous and daring soul.
C.L.Smooth does make an appearance-- they've kept the frienship
going-- and so do members of a collective of supreme lyrical
operatives: Kool G, Black Thought, Meth, Ghostface, Prodigy,
Common, Large P, etc).
And Rock comes to the battlefield this time around with the
voice God with him, so bear witness. My man can rap, too. He
may be the smoothest producer on the mic. Not fronting as the
next Rakim, he simply writes to be heard-- an unusually
gracious quality in the midts of the vapid, late 90's,
thug-o-centric adventurism that's currently pervading the game.
Living life for god, his family, his music, and his girl, Pete
Rock has returned to straighten it out: "God protected, so I'm
selected, to orchestrate the next great, and create, and
contemplate the world's fate, PR the heavyweight . . . Niggas
talk the gossip but they ain't got shit, I'm still #1!"
Believe that and react. -- Tom Constabile

CHUCK D: DOBRODOSLI...
The Sound of Our Young World
-- Chuck D
Twenty years of recorded rap music - that's right, about 25 years
of Hip Hop. There is a difference, and many times folks confuse
the two. Hip Hop is the term for urban-based creativity and
expression of culture. Rap is the style of rhythm-spoken words
across a musical terrain. It's the antithesis of country music,
but the two do pretty much the same thing - reflect upon their
environments with stories and statements. This message to anyone
waiting for rap's death: Get over it, 'cause it ain't goin' nowhere.
The downsizing of music classes in the New York City school system
led innovators like Kool Herc, Afrika Bambaataa, Grandmaster Flash
and others to take two turntables, a mixer and a microphone and
improvise an Americanization of the overdubbing style of Jamaican
deejays. It was a whole new way of looking at, and thus expanding,
music. By 1979, Kurtis Blow, Sugar Hill Gang, and others, were
taking two or three hour party events and condensing them to
minutes on wax. The irony of what's considered the first rap
record, Rappers Delight, was not how long the 15-min. version
was but in how short a time the artist got the style down on a
record.
I remember the early '80s well. The first companies to release
the music were black-run independents like Sugar Hill and Enjoy,
which treated rap like a fad, preparing to bail out if it flopped,
as disco had two or three years earlier. The contracts were
dungeons on paper, and trendsetters like the Furious Five,
Spoonie Gee, Fearless Four, Treacherous 3, and Cold Crush Brothers
took an exploitative hit like a pack of bluesmen in a concrete Delta.
I recall when live shows were the main money stream for these
lyrical Lewis and Clark cats, who put insecure '80s R-and-B groups
in fear that they'd lose their crowd to a bunch of shouters.
A few white-run independent record companies like Tommy Boy,
Profile and Jive came along, offering still low and
exploitative but better-than-before deals that exposed rap to
national and international markets. From 1983 to 1986, I, and my
soon-to-be Public Enemy partners, Professor Griff, Terminator X
and Flavor Flav, promoted many of these sounds on college-radio
station WBAU on Long Island. The suburbs were getting their
first real taste of Hip Hop at the same time, with Run-D.M.C.,
Whodini, the Fat Boys, LL Cool J, Doug E Fresh, Slick Rick,
and Salt-N-Pepa all selling out arenas across America. Plus
the movie screen had hit films like Wildstyle, Beatstreet,
and Krush Groove.
The disappearance of vinyl started with a third generation of
rappers in what is often acknowledged as the classical period
of Hip Hop. Artists proved they could sell cassette albums for
a full price and eventually tailor-made their music for the
major record companies' brand-new profit pet, the CD. Performers
like BDP, Eric B. and Rakim, Queen Latifah, Stetsasonic,
Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince (Will Smith) and Public Enemy
expanded the genre. This spread like fire, and other places
in the US started offering their own style of rap. NWA, Ice-T,
Too Short, Luke Skyywalker, and 2 Live Crew were not from New
York City, but all pushed the artistic envelope, challenging
censorship and confronting issues like police brutality. In the
'90s, this CNN of black America socially infiltrated the homes
and heads of all youth.
I've been to 40 countries, and I testify that this grass-roots
transformation of culture has spread over the planet like a
worldwide religion for those 25 and under. The verbal crusade
has young people teaching themselves to speak English quicker
than their schools could, albeit a tad different from the King's
version. Asia, Australia, South America and Africa are quickly
catching up in their appreciation of rap to areas traditionally
attached to Hip Hop in Europe, Japan, Canada, and the US. It's
something to see videos connect white kids in South Chicago
to Croats and Brazilians. This is the sound and style of our
young world, the vernacular used in today's speak from scholastics
to sports. I've seen the dialogue spur and predict movements -
the Los Angeles rebellion of 1992, the Million Man march,
Martin Luther King day in Arizona. But I've also seen it blur
the line between fantasy and reality, possibly resulting in
the unsolved deaths of two of Hip Hop's finest ever - Tupac
Shakur and Notorious B.I.G.
As we head into the 21st century, rap music/Hip Hop is in the
earth-wide sound stream, the child of soul, R and B, and
rock'n'roll, the by-product of the strategic marketing of
Big Business, ready to pulse out to millions on the wild, wild
Web. It's difficult to stop a cultural revolution that bridges
people together. Discussing differences through artistic
communication and sharing interests in a common bond - rap
music and Hip Hop have achieved that in 20 years. From Lauryn
Hill, Wu Tang, Mack 10 to Everlast, all you have to do is
look around,
Watch, feel, and listen. It's only just begun.

NA TURNEJI SA ROOTSIMA...
(ZAPIS JEDNE DOKUMENTARNE RADIO EMISIJE)
Announcer: When Rap Music began, most people saw it as a fad,
like hula hoops and pet rocks, and predicted a very short life
for the form. Yet, twenty years later, hip hop has become the
music of choice for much of young Black America. Stylistically,
Hip Hop is driven by music, technology, sequencing, sampling,
and working with pre-existing material. Live raps are usually
done to tape, and seek to imitate the record. The Roots are
different. They are a live band steeped in the tradition of
Hip Hop, which they unerringly evoke in live performances. This
show chronicles a two week period in January 1995 just after
the release of the Roots debut album. You will go behind the
scenes, see the hopes and frustrations of a young band trying
to make it in the music business. One word of caution, in this
program, you shall occasionally hear the use of the word "nigga"
slightly different from the word "nigger", a term embraced by
the Hip Hop community as a term of endearment or provocation.

ICE T NA FILMU...
Yeah, you know Ice-T the musician, but what about Ice-T the actor?
His mean mug has been playing cops, robbers, and rappers on the
silver screen to the acclaim of plenty of critics since his career
was launched by 1984's "Breakin'". Since then he's been a hunted
man (Surviving The Game) a Russian Mob Boss (Crazy Six) and even
a Kangaroo Man (Tank Girl). Good guy or bad guy, human or otherwise,
one thing's for certain: whatever side he's on, you sure as hell
don't want to be on the other!
Crazy Six (1998)
Set in post-communist Russia, gangster Rob Lowe screws up big time
when he tries to wipe out competing mob boss Ice-T. Lowe has to
team up with another kingpin, Mario Van Peebles, to fight off his
new formidable enemy. Complicating things are his own drug problem
and his showgirl girlfriend, played by Ivana Milicevic. And even
Burt Reynolds gets in on the act, starring as an American agent
who joins in the dogpile to bring down Ice-T.
Body Count (aka Below Utopia) (1997)
Ice-T stars as a crook who busts into a wealthy family's house and
massacres all of its members, or so he thinks. T and his posse hang
around and peruse the family's great works of art, bagging themselves
the heist of the century. Little do they know that Justin Theroux
and Alyssa Milano, visiting the family for Thanksgiving, were making
out in the basement during the massacre and have a definite will to
survive. Let the Body Count begin!
Johnny Mnemonic (1995)
Cyberpunk fiction pioneer William Gibson's first screen adaptation
stars Keaunu Reeves as 'Johnny Mneomic', a data smuggler who procures
a piece of info that everyone wants a piece of. The chip is, of course,
loaded into his head, which makes a great target for a whole slew of
bad guys. And to top it all off, if he doesn't complete his mission in
a specified time, his head will explode. Ice-T plays J-Bone, pirate
leader of the underground resistance dedicated to curing a plague that
has sickened the masses.
Tank Girl (1995)
It's the year 2033. Earth has been turned into a polluted wasteland,
water is scarce, and an evil utility company runs the show. Enter
Tank Girl, the Earth's last hope to defeat the Water & Power Company.
To save Terra Firma, Tank Girl needs the help of the Rippers, half
kangaroo-half human badasses that live underground. Ice-T does a
bang up job as a short tempered Ripper - catch him like you've never
seen him before.
Surviving the Game (1994)
Ice-T is Mason, a homeless man hired to guide a bunch of hunters (led
by Blade Runner's Rutger Hauer) into the dense forests of the Pacific
Northwest. Little does he know that the hunting party, made up of
government agents and wealthy industrialists, aren't there to hunt
bears - but humans, and more specifically: him. Killing Ice-T proves
easier said than done, and as the line goes 'the hunter becomes the
hunted'.
Trespass (1992)
Two southern firemen (Bill Paxton and William Sadler) trek up to East
St. Louis to find a hidden treasure in the roof of a bombed out factory.
When they get there, however, they witness a gang execution, and spend
the rest of the time trying not to get squashed for seeing too much.
Ice-T stars as the gang leader trying to whack the firemen while keeping
his posse (featuring Ice Cube!) in line.
New Jack City (1991)
Wesley Snipes, New York drug syndicate kingpin, has set up the ultimate
fortress in Harlem. He has everything a gangster could want: wealth,
power, chicks, etc. But when he gets too greedy, it's up to Ice-T and
Judd Nelson, two of NYC's finest, to go crack some heads and torch the
illicit fortune of the crime family. A new take on the classic gangster
genre.
Ricochet (1991)
After supercop Denzel Washington throws John Lithgow in prison, he
becomes a media star, eventually seeking public office. Meanwhile,
Mr. Lithgow has been baking in prison, fermenting evil plans for his
captor. Lithgow escapes from jail (by drilling a hole in a guy's head!),
and sets out to destroy Washington's life. Washington has no choice to
call up his old buddy, Ice-T, who's currently an underworld toughie,
to help him settle the score.

GANG STARR NAPRAVILI SPEKTAKL NA LYRICIST LOUNGE TURNEJI...
Got a chance to peep out Gang Starr along with Nice N Smooth
last night in San Francisco during the Lyrist Lounge Tour.
Fresh off a plane and onto the stage, Guru certainly rocked
the capacity crowd. Freddy Foxx, Hannibal and Big Shug also
came through and wrecked shop. DJ Premier held it down on
the one and twos and as a hype man.. Nice N Smooth took the
crowd to an all out frenzy especially when Greg Nice started
beat boxing. A lot of kids aren't up on the fact that long
before Greg started rapping, he was beat boxing. I recall
him doing this even before cats like Dougie Fresh. The bottom
line is they demonstrated to the crowd what true showmanship
is all about. They danced, they sang, they beat boxed, they
rapped and they entertained. The show ended with everyone
doing an impromptu tribute to fallen rap stars 2Pac, Biggie,
Freaky Tah and Big L.
I caught up with Greg and Smooth B and they told me they are
working on an album that will drop sometime early next year.
The title is still under wraps as are the particulars about
who and who won't be on lp.. It'll be their first venture
in a number of years..What really threw me off guard was my
conversation with Smooth B. He told me that he used to sing
with Bobby Brown. In fact he even wrote songs for home boy.
We got into the conversation because during the group's
performance, Smooth B was singing and doing a good job at it..
Folks was feeling him. So backstage while joking around with
him about him being a crooner, he told me about his background
with Bobby Brown. After all these years I never knew that..
I guess you learn something new everyday.
I also caught up with Freddie Foxx. He too is getting set to
drop his new album. Folks were definitely feeling the man who
now sports the name Bumpy Knuckles. The two songs he performed
had people hyped. Backstage I must give Freddie major dap for
the type of good judgement he displayed when some off the
hook fan crashed the dressing room and started sweatin' him.
The man in question told security that he was from Brooklyn
and demanded to see Foxx. Upon getting backstage to the
dressing room and got all bent out of shape because Foxx
didn't recognize who he was. The brother was complaining
that he had tried to talk to Freddie when he was on stage
and he was hurt that Freddie didn't acknowledge him. Freddie
apologized and explained that it's hard for him to chat while
performing. Home boy then started droppin' names and street
addresses and a perplexed Foxx kept telling the man he had
no idea who he was. Finally it got out of hand as the fan
kept pressing. An agitated Foxx who had repeatedly apologized
and attempted to move away while being pursued by this crazy
fan from Brooklyn finally raised his voice and told the man to
leave the dressing room and stop sweating him.. Most folks were
unaware there was a problem cause Foxx remained so cool about
things. In fact he was even friendly with the guy. Security
had the man escorted out.. Foxx who is a rather large man and
an excellent boxer, explained to everyone that he didn't wanna
do anything that would send him to jail or bring negative
attention to Gang Starr and Nice N Smooth. He explained that
people are just waiting for him to act ill and stomp some one
and he was determined not to provide that sort of material. In
addition it could've been a set up for a lawsuit had Foxx
mopped him up. So again props to Freddie for showing patience,
good judgement and remaining level headed in a foul situation.
Finally I caught up with Guru who told me he is set to drop a
new Jazzmatazz album. It will be Volume 3 and he promises it
to be the best one ever... However, my man would not give up
the details as to who would be on the album. Me and Guru go
way back, but he wouldn't give in.. He says the project is
under wraps and he wants folks to be surprised. He also
explained that a new Gang Starr album is on the way and is
gonna be hittin'..Guru seemed really confident about the
new material. I asked Guru when he was gonna be on the
Internet. He explained that he has some pending litigation
going on because some kid took the domain names to Gang Starr
and Jazzmatazz.. How foul is that? That's like the 5th or 6th
artist I know who has run into that problem.. From what I
understand there is pending legislation in the works that
will make it illegal to 'squat' on someone's name..

HIP HOP NOVINARI KAZU DA NIJE U REDU OBRACUNAVATI SE SA U-GOD-OM
Last issue I told you about how Hip Hop journalist Adissa 'The
Bishop' Banjoko had a rude encounter with U-God of the Wu-Tang Clan.
As most folks know there have been strained relations between Hip Hop
journalists and many artists. This past year have seen a number of
altercations with artists upset about bad reviews or unflattering
articles running up into offices and handing out beat downs. The sad
part is this happens with mainly Black writers within Hip Hop camp.
Very few artists have run up on a Howard Stern, a New York Times
editor or a Newsweek reporter when they've dissed Hip Hop or that
artist, but that's a whole other story. Far too often the writers
have been on the short end of the stick with some highly publicized
assaults. Adissa is one of those brothers who simply ain't having
the disrespect and he let his feelings be known in a widely
distributed letter challenging U-God to a boxing match-for charity
of course if U-God didn't apologize for his off color behavior..
Needless to say this set off a firestorm with literally hundreds
of emails coming through. The opinions on this matter have been
varied with many claiming Adissa over reacted while the dominant
sentiment was 'enough is enough'. People have grown quite weary
of the antics pulled off by many artists who are quick to beat
down a journalist but not the police officers they are constantly
running from in their videos. Far too many artists have been
acting 'out of pocket' for too long to the point that the
majority of emails I got had people rooting Adissa on. People
have come forth to do everything from set up the event to
filming it. Charity organizations have step forth asking how they
can get proceeds.. Many of us who are active within Hip Hop have
also stepped up and suggested that there are more effective ways
to handle such beefs. Last night I got the following letter from
Adissa.
"First of all I want to apologize to U God and anyone else I might
have offended by putting out a challenge like that in such a vulgar
tone and language. It was not characteristic of my normal demeanor
and it should NEVER have happened. I should have reached out to U God
personally. But that did not happen and it turned into a gigantic
chaotic mess. The other mistake I made was assuming that he thought
like me. Thinking that he would honor a one on one man to man fight.
But, regardless of what I "heard", I never heard from him. People say
that we should still do it for charity. I ain't against that. But,
whatever.
And you know, a lot of journalists are hitting me up each day sayin'
"Yo, Bishop knock his ass out". But only a select few back me
publicly. I ain't fixin' to be the journalistic martyr up in here. I
hope to see them make their opinions on the rift between journalists
and rappers known.
I do not advise any journalist to act out as I did. And I
certainly don't think any rapper should act out as he did. In an
industry where the mainstream media hates us all, we BOTH (rappers
and Hip Hop journalists) need to check ourselves when conducting
interviews. A lot of people see my position as being a "pussy" or a
"coward". But I will never apologize for putting my family before any
egotistical beef I have with another man. If putting my family first
makes me a "pussy"...I'll be dat.
There ain't gonna be no fight. He ain't reached out. And everybody in
between is talking crazy. So, it's over."
Peace,
Adisa Banjoko

HIP HOP ACTIVISM Reports About:
Words Beats & The Movement, Black Congressional Caucus,
The Funky Precedent, The Rockerfeller Foundation Gathering
Props are in order to folks like Toni Blackman, The Freestyle Union,
The Smithsonian Institute and all the good folks who I did not name
at Washington DC's Performing Arts Society for putting on a six week
multi-disciplinary festival celebrating Hip Hop Culture. Entitled
'Words Beats and Movement', I along with Nation Magazine writer
Angela Ards, former Newark Mayoral candidate/ teacher/ spoken word
artist Ras Baraka, and Lawyer/Hip Hop advocate Yvonne Bynoe had the
pleasure of speaking on a panel that dealt with Hip Hop and activism.
Ards who wrote an incredible article on this topic in Nation Magazine
gave an overview of the types of things people throughout the country
are doing. Baraka talked about the types of activities he has been
involved during his years as a student at Howard University. He also
spoke about how he was considered the first Hip Hop politician
because of his run for Mayor of Newark several years ago. Yvonne
among other things, talked about the types of steps she as a lawyer
had taken to inform young artists about the politics involved in the
music business. As a lawyer she used to put out a publication that
gave the artist crucial business information. My points centered on
the the media and the lack of control Hip Hop artists have had in
making sure that at the very least, a more balanced perspective is
put forth to both encourage and highlight the multitude of activism
that exists within Hip Hop.
I was most impressed with the activities being undertaken my our
forum moderator Toni Blackman who is currently doing an exchange with
Hip Hop heads in South Africa. She noted that she had been overseas
breaking bread with folks in South Africa and that some sort of
collaboration is in the works. I can't wait to hear the outcome. Oh
yeah before I forget home girl can rhyme her butt off... She dropped
a wicked verse off the dome on my camcorder.. I'll show that real
soon. Big props to the people who came out including Hip Hop writer
Upski who I believe is working on a book dealing with the prison
industrial complex. I believe it will be called No More Prisons. .
I think it's suffice to say that Hip Hop has always had activist
within the culture. Within this newsletter we always point out many
of the folks doing things. The question that folks have to grapple
with is the lack of exposure and props given to the positive folks
within the mainstream. Too often we look at the flash, glitz and
glamor of a Puffy or Jay Z or we will focus on the zany antics of an
ODB while completely underplaying the types of things being done by
rappers and Hip Hop oriented organizations like Boots of The Coup,
Dead Prez, E-40, Ice T, Digital Underground, Chuck D, KRS-One ,STORM,
3rd Eye Movement and numerous others. Too often commercial mediums
like to highlight only the sensational side of Hip Hop or they wanna
focus on the music and separate the politics. Within our own
communities mediums like BET, Ebony or Jet have yet to do articles
and stories on the numerous Hip Hop activist within our midst. It's
no wonder there's such an unbalanced perception.
For example, not many people know that during the recently held Black
Congressional Caucus in Washington DC they held 3 different Hip Hop
forums.. I along with a number of other insightful individuals
including Lee Bailey of The EUR Report sat on a panel that was put
together by Congressman Bobby Rush of Chicago. The next day
Congresswoman Maxine Waters of Los Angeles chaired a forum on Hip Hop
that attracted over 500 people and was broadcasted live on the radio.
It featured Houston rap star, Scarface, James 'Lil James' Prince CEO
of Rap-A-Lot records and actress Kim Fields. Waters expressed the
importance of bridging the generation gap and she let it be known
that this is now a Hip Hop world we are living in and folks have got
to open up and adjust. She talked about how she took time out to tour
the pristine facilities put together by Houston based Lil James. She
then broke down all this man's accomplishments including the fact
that he established the Bettie 'MoMo' Chatmon scholarship for Houston
teens.. He also sponsors the Houston Inner City Basketball League. He
has set up a crisis fund bank called The Care-A-Lot Foundation and he
is in the process of establishing a halfway house to assist
ex-offenders re-intergrates themselves into society. If that's not
enough he just opened a one million dollar gym and rec center in the
heart of Houston's notorious 5th Ward. He has just purchased land to
build affordable housing and he owns a Top 1 cattle ranch..tell me
these accomplishments aren't worthy of being talked about and the
mark of a true activist?
Mr Scarface on the other hand is someone who been through it all. he
was once deep in the dope game and managed to pull himself out. I
recall a few years ago reading about his body guard being shot in the
back by police in Baton Rouge. With all the drama he's been through
he's managed to always drop some telling insight on his albums. He
now heads Def Jam South.. Props must be given when you see people
come back despite all the odds against them. Maxine Water's Hip Hop
panel allowed those perspective to flourish. Now let's see if others
will follow suit and build upon her example.
Since we're talking about activism within Hip Hop, props are in order
for West Coast acts like Dilated Peoples, Jurassic 5, Cut Chemist,
Styles Of beyond, Aceyalone, Black Eyed Peas, The Beat Junkies and
Divine Styler to name a few. They along with other artists and some
dedicated individuals like music teachers Art Davis and the good
folks over at No Mayo Records came together to put out a slammin'
compilation album entitled 'The Funky Precedent'. This album was put
together as a way to raise money for the music education programs at
Fremont High School and Manchester Elementary School in Los Angeles
and Mission High School in San Francisco. In addition to donating
their time and talent to putting out a dope Hip Hop album many of the
artist have gone out to do shows and grant interviews in an attempt
to use their star power as a way to bring attention to their fund
raising efforts. In fact Dilated Peoples along with Cut Chemist and
DJ Rhettmatic of the Beat Junkies did recently did a show here at
SF's Justice League. Aside from KPFA, I did not see a whole lot of
mediums both in and out the community talking to there young brothas
who were out there trying to make a positive difference both in their
community and in the lives of young people. For more info about this
excellent project call 1-888-4-NO-MAYO or hit them up at

Along those lines, a high powered gathering sponsored by the
Rockerfeller Foundation [note this is not Jay-Z's record label.. but
instead the big foundation that probably inspired his label name]
took place in New York City this past week. The main topic at hand
was 'The Future Of Black Youth Political Participation'. It was a
closed door meeting involving some heavy hitters including; Chideya
Farai of ABC News, Donna Frisbie formerly of Rock The Vote, Minister
Conrad Muhammed of Movement For CHHANGE. [He's been trying to get rap
artist to run for office in New York City], Angela Ards of nation
Magazine, Reverend Jamal Bryant of The NAACP and Charles Ellison of
PoliticallyBlack.com were among the few of the panelist. The topic of
the day was Hip Hop and how it can be utilized as a tool of
political development and progress. I didn't get a chance to get the
entire scoop, but Ellison brought up the fact that while many of the
participants are deeply involved in the Hip Hop community the
discussion may have been more complete with some Hip Hop artist.
Perhaps well grounded seasoned Hip Hop activists like Michael Franti,
Dead Prez, Sista Souljah or Goodie Mob could've lend some keen
insight. From what I understand, Reverend Jamal Bryant who heads the
youth leadership of the NAACP felt that Hip Hop shouldn't be the sole
conduit for political development among young folks. However as Hip
Hop matures there's a strong likelihood that artist will continue the
age old tradition of involving themselves in political movements. In
fact Hip Hoppers may actual redefine what politics means as we move
forward. For a full breakdown check out
http://wwwpoliticallyblack.com as they will soon be posting a
transcript of this event. To me the most important thing to note is
that Hip Hop was front and center in these discussions. Again lets
see what media outlets build upon that gathering.
I've mentioned in the past others in Hip Hop who have been active yet
their accomplishments have gone unsung. For example, artist like DJ
Quik was given a key to the City Of Compton by the Mayor for his
accomplishments and for giving back to the community. There was
hardly any mention of this. Hardly any mediums focused on KRS opening
two chapters to his Temple Of Hip Hop both here in Oakland and in Los
Angeles. I hardly saw any one step to my man Rico of the group
Prophets of Rage who for the past few years has been lacing folks
with critical information surrounding the recently pardoned FALN
Puerto Rican prisoners. No one was one hand to give big props to
E-40 and his family the Click when they have given three free picnics
in the park for neighborhood youth in their native Vallejo and
Fairfield areas. We'll see who does and doesn't embrace the political
work that Chuck D is putting in with his newly launched Rap Station
website http://www.rapststion.com. I guess my biggest frustration is
that there are so many people who are active and trying to do
positive things for their community, yet their stories and tales of
accomplishments are rarely celebrated within the the mainstream
mediums that are prominent within our community. When has Ebony or
Jet ever done a cover story or even an article on a KRS-One or Chuck
D, much less the other folks I've mentioned who are coming out of the
Hip Hop activist movement? Instead we are constantly bombarded with
tales of gangsta rap and youthful anti-social behavior which gives
the illusion that all is hopeless. It's something to think about...

DIGITAL MAFIA MAKING MOVES HIP HOP STYLE ON THE NET.
This past weekend I had the wonderful opportunity to attend the
MOBE Internet conference in Orlando Florida. There a whole lot of
movers and shakers with the African American Internet community came
together to discuss new ways to market themselves and have better
influence. There people like myself, Lee Bailey of EUR [
http://www.eurweb.com ]and Chuck D of Rap Station
[http://www.rapstation.com]to name a few the many, received awards
for our 'pioneering' contributions to the net. While there were many
folks from outlets like , BET, Black Enterprise, Imhotech, The
Conduit, Spectralinks, Netnoir and the folks running Black Voices
who were there dropping science, the group that really made me sit up
was Digital Mafia . Headed by Darien Dash, this Internet company is
straight outta of the Hip Hop trenches. Not only was Digital Mafia a
main sponsor of the conference, they also hold the distinction of
being the first publicly traded African American owned Internet
company in history. [NASDAQ-OTC:BBDGMF]. 27 year old Darien is
cousin to Damon Dash who is the co-owner of Roc-A-fella records which
as you know is home to Jay-Z, Memphis Bleek and others. If that's not
enough, Darien himself is a co-principal of the Hip Hop label
Roc-A-Blok Records which is home to acts like Sporty Thievz. As for
their work on the net these were the brothers behind the websites for
Queen Latifah's Flavor Unit http://www.flavorunitent.com, Stress
Magazine http://www.stressonline.com, and Listen To My Demo
http://www.listentomydemo.com. If memory serves me correctly they
also did an enhanced CD for the NY Knicks and were behind the
Internet marketing strategy and launching of Puff Daddy's new
website. It was good to see folks from the Hip Hop part of town
holding down and doing major work behind the scenes. They
represented and have proven that one can be Hip Hop and
'professional' in their business dealings. Big props to Darien and
his crew which included David Muhammed and Jared Leake. Them kids got
a whole lot of game. Hit these guys up at

DRAMA U TORONTU - MIXTAPES ARE ILLEGAL!
Bad news in the City Of Toronto as their premier Hip Hop Show
Mastermind Street Jam show was unceremoniously removed from
the airwaves about a month ago. It seemed unthinkable that such
a thing would happen when one considers the vibrantHip Hop scene
in Toronto as well as the fact that Hip Hop is the biggest selling
music in the world right now. People were asked to send emails
voicing your concerns to the station's boss mailto:
deans@energyradio.ca or to call the station at 905-681-1079. The
station manager's name is Dean St Clair. We'll see how that goes.
While folks in T Dot were dealing with that loss, along comes a
serious crack down on Mixtapes and CDS. According to the most
recent addition Adam's Hip Hop Newsletter out of Canada
[mailto:amaent@sympatico.ca] the Canadian Recording Industry
Association and Organized crime Intelligence Unit of the Toronto
police force raided a couple of record stores and came away with
over 6000 unauthorized recordings. According to the report, not
only were the store owners charged, but also any deejay who
happened to have his phone number on the seized product, were
contacted and also charged.
Now I'm not one to sit up here and advocate illegal doings, however,
when you take away a major Hip Hop outlet like The Mastermind Show
and then come down on Mixtape Makers, it seems like there is a
strong attempt to severe the Hip Hop lines of communication. The
question is why?

BAY AREA IMA NOVI HIP HOP SHOW...
The Bay Area appears to be making strides to blow up it's vibrant
Hip Hop scene even more. A couple of months ago there were huge
protests to keep community radio station KPFA on the air after
there were threats that the 50 thousand watt station was gonna
be sold. More then 20 thousand people showed up at rallies and
demanded that this flagship station for free speech not be touched.
In the aftermath of that uprising has come a number of programming
changes. Among them is the creation of a new Hip Hop oriented talk
show called Hard Knock Radio. It airs everyday from 4-5pm and it
can be picked up live on the Internet at http://www.kpfa.org. The
host include myself, Davey D on Monday and Tuesdays, long time
Hip Hoppers Waylon and Sade holding it down Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Anita aka as Emcee Rain brings it to ya on Fridays. Basically the
shows bring a Hip Hop approach to the days current issues and
politics. Thus far the show has been getting great reviews as
everyone from Tha Deliquents and Mac Mall to DJ Rhettmatic and
Dilated Peoples have swung through the studios to lend insight
to everything from the case surrounding Mumia to Gun Control.
If there are any label heads and artist who are down to do
more then the usual 'Where ya from?' or When's your album coming
out'? type interviews, hit us up and get yourself and your
material played on the Hard Knock Radio Show.
mailto:hardknockradio@www.daveyd.com.
If that's not enough there are two new Hip Hop shows on KMEL
folks may wanna peep out.. One is brought to you by the Pirate
DJs. It's called Pirate Radio and can be heard on Friday Nights
right after The Wake Up Show from 1am-5pam. For folks who don't
know, The Pirate DJs which feature Mind Motion, DJ Ivan of
the Gavin Report and DJ Rolo are the folks who hold down a lot
of the clubs here in the Bay. They've been wrecking shop for
years and their after hours Pirate radio show allows them to
continue being on the cutting edge. On Sunday Nights yours
truly does a show that spotlights only Bay Area music. Currently
there are more than 300 recorded Bay Area rap artists who have
released close to 600 lps and eps. At least that's what I have
logged in my data base. You can peep both shows on the Internet

KURUPT vs. DMX
Kurupt of Tha Dogg Pound is setting to put a foot up the butt of
rap star DMX. In his new album Streetz, Kurupt drops a song
called 'Calling Out Names' in which he rips into DMX for trying
to 'holla' at Kurupt's fiance Foxy Brown. We'll overlook the fact
that DMX is married and that Foxy has been linked to all sorts of
guys and just focus on Kurupt's main intentions. He says rather
then bring the drama to the streets he'll drop it on vinyl. He
considers himself a person who specializes in 'battle raps'.
We'll see the outcome of this record. DMX is good but he can't
out battle Kurupt. It will be interesting to hear his response.
I'm surprised Foxy didn't come out and clown DMX with a record
of her own, but then again this could all be contrived to cause
controversy and sell records.

appears that people took offense to the inscription 'Rawkus Says

was inspired by Pharoahe's hit song 'Simon Says'. The billboard
sat over an old Woolworth Store on 125th in Harlem, NY. Rawkus

Ice Cube also noted that there is a strong possibility of an NWA

Snoop Dogg was scheduled to take the place of the late Eazy E.

** DAVEY D'S Social Question Of The Day **
This week will mark the release of the movie 'Fight Club'. From
the previews, I gather it's a movie that will be focusing on
some Yuppie types who are out to create some excitement and drama
in their lives by partaking in underground fights etc. On the
previews I seen there's a scene where they announce that in order
to be down with Fight Club one must go out there and pick fights
with unsuspecting individuals. Anyway the thing I'm wondering is
with a film that is so blatant about it's intent, do you think
movie theaters around the country will hire extra security and
take other precautions much the same way they've done with the
release of 'Hip Hop oriented movies? After all, we all know the
power of film and what sort of influence it can have young minds.
If I don't see police sitting in front of my local theater for
Fight Club the way they were when 'Belly' came out I'm gonna ask
some hard questions. At a time when we have the Woodstock riots
and rapes and numerous mass hooting sprees to the average of twice
a month, should we be concerned about 'Fight Club'. We were
concerned with the release of 'Colors',' Menace To Society',
'Fridays' and 'Belly'.. so what about Fight Club?

HIP HOP AND IT'S CRITICS
by Davey D
Looks like Hip Hop artists are rearing their heads and speaking out
about the type of ratings they have or have not received from various
publications. In the latest edition of Lee Bailey's EUR Report
[http://www.eurweb.com] where he interviews The Lost Boyz, they go
off on publications like The Source Magazine. Here's an excerpt from
that interview...
"All these cats go out here and spend all this money to get all these
different people on their album and it still don't sell. They (Made
Men - formerly Almighty RSO) got Jay-Z, Jermaine Dupri and all these
other crazy (people) on their album, but they don't sell. They sh*t
still ain't sh*t. That four or five mics in the Source don't mean
nothin'. You gotta go up there with baseball bats to get 5 mics.
We're averaging 3 mics in the Source. That's what they gave the
first two albums. We was beefin' like 'Yo, how come we didn't
get five.' But we don't pay attention to that now. Basically all
the n***as that they feel fail after going platinum. Everything
else they come out with fails. They go from double platinum to
double wood. They (The Source) gave us a nice write up and
everything, but f**k the Source. F**k em!" [Taken from Lee Bailey's
EUR Report Sept 11th 1999.. ]
Here the Lost Boyz are referring to the recent rumblings that have
come out of the Source camp where their most recent editor Selwyn
Seyfu Hinds vacated his post after publisher/owner Dave Mays went
behind the back of his editorial staff and changed the low ratings
given to 'his group/friends' Made Men to a higher one. A widely
circulated industry letter was released a couple of weeks ago
explaining this incident in great detail. Hip Hop deejays were
being encouraged to boycott the magazine. For many, the whole
incident brought back unpleasant memories of what went down at
The Source a few years ago when many from their original staff
broke camp after Mays was accused of subverting his editorial
staff by slipping in a favorable article about the same group.
It's ironic that a similar incident would occur. To date there
was another letter that's been circulating explaining that
Seyfu Hinds had taken a job with an on line publication being
put together by Russell Simmons, however Source publisher Dave
Mays asserts that the info is not totally correct and that
while it's true Hinds is stepping down as editor and chief he
will remain on staff to help put together the December '99
issue.
While the Lost Boyz have been lambasting The Source, Bay Area
rap star is seriously upset with Blaze Magazine. His discontent
was first brought out on his appearance on Tavis Smiley's BET
Tonite. E-40 explained that he was upset by the fact his new
album was given a miserably low rating of 2.5. In addition he
felt that the people reviewing his album were unqualified and
not up on the type of music that he puts forth. What initially
was thought to be a direct response to the Blaze article,
another Bay Area rap group who is down with E-40 named A-1 is
set to drop a devastating song called 'Critic Killers'.
I caught up with E-40 aka Charlie Hustle this morning to get
the whole scoop. 40 broke it down by noting that the song
'Critic Killers' was done long before the Blaze article, but
it was connected to his current feelings. He went on to
explain that there seems to be an attempt by several writers
to do what he described as 'character assassination' when it
comes to certain artist. 'It wasn't so much that they gave me
a 2.5 rating as much as it was the writer seemed to go out of
way to clown me personally', E-40 explained. The writer in
question, Dan Frost made disparaging remarks like 'The
Blueprint [E-40's album title] needs to be proof read', 'the
beats sound like an arcade game', and '40 needs to keep up
with the youngsters'. Adding insult to injury E-40 noted that
Blaze seemed to go out of their way to depict him in a
unfavorable manner by including photos that had nothing to
do with the theme and Bay Area lifestyle E-40 attempted to
bring out during the photo shoot. 'man , I could've just sent
them a photo if I knew they were gonna make me look bad' E-40
stated. E-40 went into detail when he explained how he had
spent quite a bit of time during the photo shoot which was
requested by Blaze to bring forth the type of imagery that
reflected the Bay Area's unique Hip Hop scene and lifestyle.
The end result was a photo that essentially downplayed
things and had E-40 looking like any other rapper sitting
in a car.
The Blaze review was unsettling because it runs counter to
the type of positive response E-40 has been receiving out
here on the West Coast. Although the album hasn't been
officially released, advanced copies have been circulating
with mad props being directed at 40. Many are saying, this
may be 40's strongest album to date. Tracks like 'LIQ' are
being played all over in Los Angeles while the Too Short
inspired 'Earl Dats Your Life' is the jam that you're likely
to hear from everybody's ride here in the 'Yeh [Bay] Area'
With his last couple of lps, 'Hall of Game' and 'Elements
Of Surprise', E-40 fans bemoaned the fact that he seemed
to be moving away from the type of sound and style that
first netted his huge popularity. This was in spite of the
fact that both lps were commercially successful in terms
of sales. This time around E-40 brought it back to basics by
revitalizing classic Vallejo 'Mob' sound and as a result
folks have been feeling him.
With Blaze dropping such a low review the ugly specter of
East/West coast bias rears its ugly head among fans. When
I see kids on every street corner in Oakland vibing to
E-40 or listeners jamming the phone lines to the radio
station requesting his music, one has to wonder if a
reviewer truly understands the music he is peeping out.
Are all these people who happen to be feeling E-40, 2.5
rated fans? Are they in someway Hip Hop deficient and
hence need some one from outside their hood to inform
them that their Hip Hop hero is wack and needs to go
back to the lab?
I pointed this out a long time ago, way before there was
an East/West coast 'war', that many of our Hip Hop
publications played a key role in bring this about by
continuously putting out uninformed or obviously bias
reviews. The people who were left being most upset would
be the fans who would see the publication as an entity that
was personally attacking them. Here out West, folks have a
deep seeded loyalty to their artists. Any review that goes
out to the public ideally should take into account the
standards set by the artist's audience. That is after all,
who they ideally are speaking to when they drop their new
material. Sometimes we have to put our personal bias and
standards aside.
If Hip Hop is ideally supposed to reflect the lifestyle and
culture of a particular individual, can a kid from New York
really understand the mind set and musical upbringing of
the kid from the hood 3000 miles away? Oftentimes there
seems to be an implied assumption by many within the Hip Hop
media that everyone is striving for the same Hip Hop standards.
It's like folks start thinking that an artist like E-40 or
Juvenile should be setting their sights to spit lyrics with
the smooth finesse of a Rakim or their beats should be bangin'
like those produced by DJ Premier. And while such individuals
are clearly at the top of their game, they do not set the
standards for everyone who are creating beats and rhymes in
this rap game.
I've found that folks from all over this country have their own
styles and sounds and what may be dope to some is wack to others.
For example, here in Oakland, one of the hottest acts out is a
guy named Keak Tha Sneak from a group called 3 X Krazy. You
can't walk two blocks without hearing that tape bumping from
someone's ride. To this day I can't figure out the appeal.
But I admit to having a certain musical bias. Some of the
slang and Keak's approach to doing his album will initially
go over my head while folks from his East Oakland neighborhood
will be loving it to death. He is ideally reflecting the things
that are important to his audience. It would be foul for me to
go out and publicly state the album is wack just because it
ain't my cup of tea especially when I see it blowing up
the spot without any radio or video play. Keak's popularity
should ideally be an indication for me to go out and get to
understand this particular artist better. It means I should
check to find out why so many people feel him. Is it his
lyrics? His beat? His subject matter? It's up to me to find out
the deal and then hopefully I can use my media position to
inform folks from outside the area exactly why Keak Tha Sneak
is the bomb. I would not only be salting Keak Tha Sneak, but
also a significant part of Oakland's Hip Hop community if I
came out and gave praise only to artists like Casual or Del
while dismissing Keak Tha Sneak or The Deliquents which is
another hot act blowing up in Oakland. At a time when this
industry is so bent on labeling and compartmentalizing acts
and music genres for its own convenience, the least I can do
in my position is not continue this harsh pattern. It short
changes the artist and it short changes Hip Hop.
So does E-40 deserve a 2.5 rating? To the kid who grew up
listening to East Coast beats only.. I can see him going in
that direction. But I doubt if the fan growing up on the
left side of country who understands the slang and feels
the music would go in that direction. Did the reviewer
really understand the significance of a song like 'Earl Dats
Your Life'? Did he understand what that song meant to Bay
Area folks and what it meant to have Too Short introduce it..
Did he understand why folks in LA are eating up 'LIQ' .. Did
he peep the game on a track like Ballaholic? Did the reviewer
peep what sound or style that E-40 was bringing back?
I'll be the first to admit, as a journalist you can't be all
things to all people. We're not gonna be up on every style.
We're certainly not gonna like everything that gets put out
on the market. There are gonna be some things we become
big champions of and its good for us to show our enthusiasm.
For example, I loved Rakim's last album and I couldn't quite
understand why so many journalist lambasted it. However, when
giving a bad review we should use extra precaution by making
sure we separate our personal feelings from that of the fans.
Why knock some one else's hustle? Does this mean we can't give
bad reviews or call an album wack? Of course we can. What
I'm suggesting is that we as journalist must look at the
larger picture and take into account that we as writers aren't
the necessarily the trendsetters in this game. The fans set
the trends. We as writers just happen to have the ability to
report or not report what's going on in other parts of the
world. We also have to remember that while it's good for us
to have strong opinions on things, however when it comes to
art we should be clear about noting our opinion vs what may
be going elsewhere.
The kid 2000 miles away from Cali in Tennessee may actually
like the new E-40 album. He however may not go pick it up
because of a bad review in Blaze. The question that one has
to wonder was Blaze really in touch with the kid from Cali
and the kid from Tennessee? Hip Hop publications have
positioned themselves as the middle men who play the crucial
role of connecting communities and people from all over.
These magazines have become primary resources for many folks
within Hip Hop. We expect Time Magazine or Newsweek to say
a Hip Hop album is weak. We all collective assume that a
reviewer from those publications aren't up on Hip Hop music
and culture. The assumption is that the reviewers from our
Hip Hop mediums are up on things.. Or are they?
The bottom line is this.. There are no clear cut formulas
or ways to write about some one's craft. Rappers take
their chances when they submit material to writers for
review. I guess the bottom line is that we may want to
always keep in mind that this is someone's work.. It's their
heart and soul and we should be a bit sensitive to it..
Sometimes it's not what we say, but how we say things
especially in print.

HANDSOME BOY MODELING SCHOOL
is Nathaniel Merriweather (Dan the Automator) and
Chest Rockwell (prince Paul)
Like all great ideas, the Handsome Boy Modeling School was borne
out of necessity. Most people just don't have the mental wherewithal
to identify the need for a great social institution. But not
Nathaniel Merriweather and Chest Rockwell. Known in some circles
as Dan "The Automator" Nakamura and production great Prince Paul,
Merriweather and Rockwell are transforming young, naive and
maladjusted males into handsome boys and exemplary members of
society. These boys have immaculate manners, dress well, and can
make women swoon with a simple pose. In short, the Handsome Boy
Modeling School is empowering boys with the confidence to succeed
not only in their chosen profession, but in life as well.
Some people will tell you that So How's Your Girl, the first
Handsome Boy Modeling School audio course Merriweather and
Rockwell have created is just a record. That's like saying
American Gigolo was just a movie. Not only have the duo comprised
a wonderful audio course with testimonials from Handsome Boys
like Mike D, DJ Shadow, Money Mark, Sadat X, Grand Puba, Del The
Funky Homosapien, Trugoy and El-P but they've also established
a very influential video course and a special correspondence
course for prison inmates. In essence, Handsome Boy Modeling
School is more than just a social institution; it's a way of
life. Never one to turn down an opportunity to meet with great
minds, platform.net correspondent Finnegan Brown met up with
Merriweather and Rockwell, er, Automator and Prince Paul to
get the skinny on the Handsome Boy Modeling School.
Brown: So I was lounging on my sofa at three in the morning
and I saw your info-mercial. Tell me about some of the students
from your program. Like I noticed Rahzel in the info-mercial.
My what a handsome man. Was he the valedictorian?
Automator: Rahzel wasn't the valedictorian but when we found
him, he needed a lot of work. Now look at him.
Prince Paul: We got his teeth capped. It makes his beats come
out cleaner. We got 'em capped and they're looking really good.
We got him some extra big ones for more bass. It's little
things like that that can make you more handsome.
Automator: See, handsome-ness is a state of mind.
Prince Paul: Exactly. Exactly. And I learned that from Dan.
Automator: Basically Paul showed us the attitude.
Prince Paul: And Dan shows us the inner spirituality.
Automator: One thing we should make clear is that we're not
models. We may look like models but we're not models. What
we're promoting is a lifestyle.
Prince Paul: Most people who think you're models get really
uneasy around you, intimidated and shy. We just come off as
regular cool.
Automator: Also, a lot of our clientele are people who have
made their way through life on the verge of being successful
but can't breakthrough the corporate glass ceiling. They just
don't have the je ne sais quoi.
Prince Paul: That's what it takes.
Automator: Not everyone knows which fork to use, how to drape
their jackets correctly or how high the hem on the pants
should be. That's all technical stuff, of course. The real
stuff is in the attitude.
Prince Paul: That can make and break a career.
Brown: [Laughing] It sure can. I'm sorry for laughing.
Automator: Don't worry about it. You know, levity, too is a
part of being handsome. If you have a good, up-beat state of
mind, it radiates positive energy. Radiating positive energy
affects other people's orbits around you and things work out
better for you typically. I'm not saying you have to be a
comedian. You just have to treat life lightly and people
will come around.
Brown: Ok. [awkward pause]. I'm going to throw out a student's
name and you tell me about them. How about Del.
Automator: Del was a stand-out student. He has always been cool,
people just didn't realize his coolness.
Brown: Is that something you brought out of him then?
Automator: We don't bring it out of them. They bring it out of
themselves. We just give them the ability to bring it out of
themselves.
Prince Paul: That's good, man. That's good.
Automator: Thank you.
Prince Paul: You're welcome.
Brown: How about El-P?
Automator: He's a confident fellow but he wasn't showing his
confidence when he was walking the street. Handsome Boy allowed
him to cut a more dashing figure.
Prince Paul: It's all in the video. You can purchase it.
Automator: Merchandising is important in this day and age.
Prince Paul: It makes you handsome.
Automator: I think you were telling that to Versace before he died.
Prince Paul: He didn't listen.
Brown: What about Josh Haden and Sean Lennon?
Automator: They're two very handsome fellows in their own right.
They have a lot of lineage, their families are in music. I
believe Josh Haden's dad, Charlie Haden, is a pretty good
souzaphonist and wasn't Sean's dad in a barbershop quartet? I
think they might have been European. They were living in the
shadows so we just told them to be themselves.
Prince Paul: Don't be scared to be yourselves.
Brown: I heard Kid Koala was a student.
Prince Paul: Hmm, that was an interesting case.
Automator: People wouldn't respect him because he looks so young.
We tried to instill a greater sense of maturity in him, a little
more of a rigid attitude so people wouldn't treat him lightly.
Prince Paul: We gave him chest hair. Fed him a lot of hot sauce.
Automator: A lot of drinking.
Prince Paul: We had to make him grow up real quick. Now he looks
weathered, but handsome.
Automator: We had to break him out of his teen idol status.
Prince Paul: He was like a 98 degrees type of kid.
Automator: Now he's more like Tom Waits.
Brown: And DJ Shadow? He was a student, too.
Automator: We had to make him step out of the shadows, so to speak,
and into the limelight.
Prince Paul: We gave him a lobotomy. That was the only way to
make him more in touch with his feelings and less with his 45s.
Automator: He's a very handsome fellow in his own right, but you
know, you have to get him out into the public a little bit. It's
hard to be handsome when you're on your hands and knees digging
through crates of 45s.
Prince Paul: And being on your hands and knees isn't too handsome
anytime.
Brown: Finally, you have the ultimate handsome man, Father Guido
Sarducci.
Automator: It's a very handsome story. He's basically an older
version of a handsome gentleman. Handsome men circulate in the
same circles and so, through our travels we happened to run
into him.
Prince Paul: We bumped into him in Rome which is pretty weird.
The thing about being handsome is that it radiates. He kind of
stood out in a room. We gravitated towards each other.
Automator: I believe it was in front of the buffet table, though.
I loved the buffet in Rome. It was pretty lavish.
Prince Paul: I like them. I especially like the caviar table.
Automator: Honestly, I prefer to be seated. It's more proper. But
during Fashion Week, it's really busy and sometimes you have to
sacrifice a little bit.
Prince Paul: Sometimes it's good to serve yourself. It's very
hands on.
Brown: I read in your Vogue profile, or maybe it was in the Wall
Street Journal, that the Handsome Boy Modeling School modeled
itself after the television show "Get A Life". How did "Get A
Life" spawn the School?
Automator: Well, we've actually never seen the show.
Brown: But then what about those audio clips on the record?
Prince Paul: Is that where that's from?
Automator: You know how when you buy used equipment from people
and they give you their old discs? We bought these used samplers
and we said, "Let's make a new record." So we used whatever was
already on there.
Brown: So what now?
Automator: I think we're going to continue to expand the school.
It originally started out as a video correspondence course.
Now we have like 25 branches. We realized a lot of people were
doing things wrong. We saw terrible mishaps and felt like we
needed to provide accurate, hands-on instruction.
Brown: OK, any parting words?
Automator: Beauty radiates from within. Oh, and if you're a man,
the record helps you get women.
Prince Paul: And if you're a woman, the record helps you get
women. It's all good. It's like the gift that keeps on giving.

I got bitches in the living room gettin it on
and, they ain't leavin til six in the mornin (six in the mornin)
So what you wanna do, sheeeit
I got a pocket full of rubbers and my homeboys do too
So turn off the lights and close the doors
But (but what) we don't love them hoes, yeah!
So we gonna smoke a ounce to this
G's up, hoes down, while you motherfuckers bounce to this
Chorus: repeat 2X
Rollin down the street, smokin indo, sippin on gin and juice
Laid back [with my mind on my money and my money on my mind]
Verse Two:
Now, that, I got me some Seagram's gin
Everybody got they cups, but they ain't chipped in
Now this types of shit, happens all the time
You got to get yours but fool I gotta get mine
Everything is fine when you listenin to the D-O-G
I got the cultivating music that be captivating he

As I take me a drink to the middle of the street
and get to mackin to this bitch named Sadie (Sadie?)
She used to be the homeboy's lady (Oh, that bitch)

dopunjavanje toga (pogotovu sa Snoop-om u ulozi Eazy-ja ) bilo bi

Da, moram priznati da za citanje (sa razumevanjem) mojih
poruka covek mora posedovati dve stvari - odlicno znanje
engleskog jezika i veliku zelju da sazna sta se novo
desava u svetu hip hop-a...
Kada sam prvi put poslao vesti i intervjue nisam imao
nameru da to nastavim periodicno da radim. Medjutim,
neki ljudi koji prate ovu temu (izvinjavam se, ali
stvarno sada ne mogu da se setim ko je sve to bio)
trazili su da to ipak uradim... i tako je pocelo.
Zeleo bih da mi pojasnis zbog cega nemas zivaca
da citas moje poruke. Da li zbog toga sto vecinu od
imena koja se tu pominju po prvi put cujes? Da li
zbog toga sto imas mali fond reci engleskog jezika,
pa ti citanje ide sporo, ili skoro nikako?
Moje je misljenje da se iz tih vesti, intervjua,
slika, zvucnih fajlova moze mnogo toga nauciti o
hip hop muzici (kada to kazem, mislim na real
hip hop...). Zelim da pokazem da hip hop nisu samo
sampanjac, besna kola, zlato i devojke iz spotova
koje izgledaju fantasticno - ima tu i neceg
drugacijeg... Uostalom, iscitaj raspravu koju
smo skoro vodili u ovoj temi oko toga.
BTW, ovo je javna konferencija (igraliste...).
Niko te ne tera da citas moje poruke.
Jednostavno - mozes da ih preskocis.
Pozdrav od

Tachno. Ali razmisli malo, ako to pishesh za odredjenu grupu

Posto sam pogledao tvoj res, iz njega sam saznao da slusas
techno muziku. Takodje sam video da si noviji korisnik
Sistema... To me je navelo da postavim hipotezu o tome
zbog cega ti smetaju moje poruke. Pa da probam...
Dosavsi na SezamNet pozeleo si da pratis i konferenciju
Muzika, jer u njoj postoji i tema 'techno'. Naravno, tada
nisi znao da se ne moraju pratiti sve teme iz jedne
konferencije, pa tako ni tebi ne mora da se prikazuju
poruke iz teme 'rap' - jednostavno, udjes u konferenciju
Muzika (co jo 91), a potom napises conf resign *.* .
Izlistace ti sve teme i za svaku pojedinacno te pitati
da li zelis da je pratis (Da/Ne).
Inace, 99% ljudi i pregleda poruke offline (ili pomocu
Off Line Readera, ili jednostavno skine poruke u Pad,
i potom ih cita off line). Sto se tice prostora na
disku... nijedan blok mojih poruka ne prelazi 30k,
a svaki file koji posaljem nakon nekoliko dana
obrisem sa diska (neka mi Moderator bude svedok).
Ja se nadam da je ovo pojasnilo stvar...

Eazy-E je legenda, lik koga najvishe cenim... sumnjam da bi

ne bi bilo skrnavljanja legende ukoliko ne bi Snoop dolazio
na Eazy-jevo mesto... da je bilo ko drugi pa i da shvatim...
po meni bi najbolje bilo da se okupi cela stara N.W.A. ekipa,
izuzev Eazy-ja naravno... njega niko ne moze da zameni i to
treba tako i da ostane...

cisto kao "nadzornik radova", izdavac ili nesto trece, ili bi im bar
zabranio da opet "igraju" pod imenom N.W.A.
A posto im se on ne pridruzuje, niti im pravi smetnju, sumnjam da
on ima ista sa pravima na N.W.A...

RUSSEL SIMMONS SARADJUJE SA HILLARY CLINTON
Russell Simmons along with his wife Kimora Lee are making some
major moves in the political world. They're set to host a $1,000
plate fund raising dinner for First lady Hillary Clinton who is
now running for Senate in New York City. Mr Simmons has a huge
SoHo [South of Houston] pad which will comfortably accommodate
the 100 or so invited guests. There is no doubt this fund raiser
will attract some high profile folks from the entertainment
industry. The question is who? Will Puffy be there along with
his boo Jennifer Lopez? How about Method Man or Redman will
they pass a fat spliff to the First Lady and will she inhale?
This should be interesting, but on a serious tip it's great
move by Russell. If you want to have impact on public policy
and also have the ear of powerful politicians these are the
things one need to do at times. Who knows Russell may wind up
being Hip Hop's first bona fide political lobbyist.

TASH IZ ALKAHOLIKSA SNIMA FILM
Tash of Tha Alkaholiks was in town the other day promoting his
new album Rap Life which is scheduled to drop on November 23rd
and not November 2nd as it had been widely advertised. He
explained that he toned down is legendary freestyle abilities
to make a more 'planned' out album. He noted, 'I wanted to
separate this solo project from Tha Alkaholiks.. So on this
album I concentrated on making good songs where the hook
coincides with lyrics and beats. It's not as spontaneous as
an Alkaholik album, but its good'.
Tash also noted that his album will drop around the same time
as a movie he's prominently featured in. It's an adventure
story put together by Snoop Dogg. Here Tash plays the role
of Co-Cheese who happens to be a cell mate of Snoop. The pair
managed to break out of jail and that's when the story kicks
in. Tash concluded by noting that Snoop was changing the title
of the movie so he couldn't tell us what that would be. He
was headed back to LA to finish shooting a couple of more scenes.

Speaking of Death Row, remember that tell all controversial book
'Have Gun Will Travel' by former Source writer, author Ronin Ro.
Because he gave up so much game and details about the inner
workings of Death Row records there were all sorts of malicious
rumors suggesting that Ro had gone into hiding and was attempting
to avoid any contact with Death Row CEO Suge Knight and his
people. I heard from Ronin the other day and he explained that
he certainly hadn't gone into hiding. In fact he's been working
on another book which should drop real soon called "Street
Sweeper'. Ronin described it as 'a novel, a high charged
first-of-its-kind type of book I hope will make younger readers
think twice about lifting guns and entering the street game'.
We'll keep you posted when the book drops.

"O" PRAVI MUZIKU ZA IGRICU ELECTRONIC ARTS-A...
Finally props are in order for up and coming rapper named O.
He has just landed a nice little gig with Electronic Arts
which is the world's largest interactive entertainment software
company. Electronic Arts along with Hollywood records and O
will release the title song for one of the companies most
popular games 'Knockout Kings 2000 boxing.
The title song In the Game will be the lead single from O's
debut album, Full Circle: The Story of O. Electronic Arts
also provided several boxing champions that appear with O
during the In the Game music video. These champs include
Smokin' Joe Frazier, Sugar Shane Mosley and Floyd Mayweather.
Although not in the video other boxers included in the game
are Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Oscar De La Hoya and
Evander Holyfield. O is one of the handful of rappers who
are turning their talents to non traditional fields like
Video Games. If you recall we spoke about how Wu-Tang is
set to have a video game dropping in the near future that
is based upon them. They like O will release songs via the
game. The other Hip Hopper who you may soon see and hear in

POTPISANA SMRTNA PRESUDA ZA MUMIU...
As you know Governor Tom Ridge signed a December 2cd death
warrant for 'political' prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal. For those
who aren't familiar he's a former Black Panther and
journalist who was convicted of killing a Phildelphia police
officer almost 20 years ago, in 1981. He's been on death row
ever since. The circumstances surrounding his case and
numerous aspects of his trial have led people to believe
that he is innocent and should be granted a new trial. Over
the years Mumia's plight has garnered considerable community
support. He has come to symbolize the nation's rapidly
expanding Prison Industrial Complex. Mumia himself has
managed to issue a couple of books and countless insightful
commentaries on the issues of the day from his prison cell
in Pennsylvania. He had continued to live up to his moniker
of being the 'Voice of the voiceless'.
Over the past couple of years many within the Hip Hop nation
have gotten involved and have done things to bring attention
to his situation. There's been a compilation album entitled
Mumia 911 which featured all sorts of rappers ranging from
Channel Live to Poor Righteous Teachers to Chuck D of Public
Enemy. There have numerous demonstrations and free concerts
including one that was most recently held in Delores Park
in San Francisco. Here artists like Michael Franti of
Spearhead, Digital Underground and Boots & The Coup donated
their time and brought out over 50 thousand people. This
September 11th event was a who's who in bay Area Hip Hop as
everyone from Saafir to Mystik Journeymen came through to
show support for Mumia's cause.
Yesterday almost a 1000 people, many of them from the Hip Hop
community took to the streets to protest Governor Ridge signing
Mumia's death warrant. There will be a huge rally tomorrow on
Saturday Sept 16th in San Francisco at the corner of Market and
Powell thousands of people are expected to show up. In
Philadelphia demonstrations will take place in front of the
Pennsylvania State Office Building at the corner of Broad and
Spring streets. Both the San Francisco and Pennsylvania events
will kick off at 11 am. For more info call 215-476-8812.

4TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE MILLION MAN MARCH
Interestingly enough these Mumia demonstrations will take place
on the 4th Anniversary of The Million Man March. I wonder if
folks within Hip Hop recall the promise and commitment they
made four years ago to improve themselves and show more
respect toward women. I know that at numerous turns people
within the business have attempted to thwart such efforts.
The most glaring occurred last year when Brand Nubian dropped
their album. Their first single was supposed to be a heartfelt
song called 'Sincerely' that had Brand Nubian apologizing
for their mistreatment of women.
Grand Puba explained that they wanted to release that song as
their first single. It would've dropped in time for the
Million Man March anniversary. It would've likely set a new
tone for the type of music that was being put out at that
time. There is no doubt in mind that people would've taken
notice and pondered over the lyrics. The problem was the
groups record label Arista didn't wanna go in that direction.
Puba said the powers that be did not think it would make
money and hence over ruled the group's request. If that wasn't
insulting enough numerous commercial radio stations including
mine, sat on that song in an attempt to support the first
single being released by the label. What a shame. Can you
imagine how the video to that song would've looked? Can you
imagine the type of impact Sincerely would've had if the
music industry movers and shakers would've got behind it. As
we come upon the 4th anniversary of the Million Man March,
it's interesting to note that there haven't been more songs
like the one put out Brand Nubian. Have people forgotten
what September 16th day Of Atonement was about?

PUCNJAVA U STUDIJU DAZ-A I KURUPT-A...
The rap world has been shaken up again as for the second time in
a month there has been another shooting at a recording studio. A
couple of weeks ago Puff Daddy saw his studio in New York get
shot up by an unknown gun man. This Sunday night well known
artist Daz Dillinger and Kurupt found their Echo Sounds studio
get shot up resulting in a death and two injuries. The person
killed was Kurupt's body guard, 23 year old Dwayne Dupree. The
two injured were Jevon 'Realistic' Jones and Willard 'Act Da
Fool' Givers.
Thus far the police have been un able to establish the motive
behind the shooting. It wasn't clear as to whether or not Daz
or Kurupt who were inside working at the time of the shooting
knew the reasons behind the drama. Many began to immediately
speculate that it may have had something to do with the recent
'beef' Kurupt announced that he had with New York based rap
star DMX. Kurupt was upset with DMX because he supposedly made
moves on Kurupt's fiancee Foxy Brown. The possibility of DMX
being behind this shooting incident seems a bit unlikely.
The incident involving Puffy's studio being shot up was
attributed to an altercation one of his artists, Shyne had
at a night club. Fortunately no one was hurt in that incident.
The gun man has yet to be captured. Folks aren't quite sure
if the Puffy and Kurupt shootings are some how connected.

CASH MONEY & NO LIMIT...
Lately there's been a rash of rumors stating that members of
Cash Money have been shot in a sort of drive by. It is unclear
exactly where these rumors started but many are pointing to
the altercation that took place between Cash Money and Master
P's No Limit camp backstage at a Public Enemy show not to
long ago. As everyone now knows the two New Orleans based
groups have a long standing rivalry. Much of it has to do
with some 'street stuff'. Things got exasperated when Master P
began to blow up nationally and was excused of biting many of
the concepts Cash Money had popularized in New Orleans.
According to industry sources, things hit a more intense level
when Universal Records tried to sign Master P. He backed off
which left Universal chasing down P's rivals which happen to
be Cash Money. As of late there seems to be some sort of smear
campaign directed at P while simultaneously Universal has sunk
a whole lot of money into Cash Money. That's why you hear them
everywhere. Some people are saying it's the classic Music
Industry giant trying to hate on the independent. Others claim
its just one group rising up while another is playing itself
out. Needless to say all this tension reached a boiling point
when members from both camps showed up at a PE show in New
Orleans. Supposedly C-Murder dropped some blows on a Cash Money
member and .. 'it was on'. Not too long afterwards these nasty
rumors about Cash Money members being killed began to surface..
rap.1456brka,
PUFFY'S BUSSINES...
Good ole Puff Daddy ya gotta love him for trying. When he dropped
his new album 'Forever' he left a lot of folks here in the Bay
Area a bit disturbed when he lifted the beat from the Luniz
classic jam 'I Got Five On It' and used it in the song 'Satisfy
You' which features R Kelly. Of course everyone and their momma
knows that to be a Bay Area anthem of sorts. 'I Got Five On It'
was borrowed from another Bay Area native, Jay King and his group
Club Nouveau's 'Why You Treat Me So bad'.
When Puffy came to the Bay Area in August he was asking around
on how he could track down Yukmouth and Numbskull of the Luniz.
He apparently wanted to make a nice gesture and do some sort of
remix. Well he finally hooked things up. Yuk and Num are all
over the new version to the point you forget it's a Puffy song.
The problem is Puffy's remarks in the beginning of the song.
He gives a shout out to the whole Bay Area and names off a
couple of cities including 'San Diego'. Local deejays have been
having a field day clowning Puffy about this.. because San Diego
is more then 500 miles away from the Bay Area in Southern Cali.
It would be like somebody giving a shout out to New York City
and then naming the Bronx, Manhatten and Buffalo. It would be
enough to scratch your head. Puffy's brilliance has certainly
left the Bay Area puzzled, but he gets props for trying to reach
out.. Next time look at your map Puffy.

"ZULU NATION" SLAVI 25 GODINA HIP HOP-A...
Congratulations to the Universal Zulu Nation as they get set
to celebrate their 25th Anniversary. The fact that Zulu is
having a 25th Anniversary means that all the hype around
Hip Hop having it's 20th anniversary this year should be
looked at a bit more closely. The fact of the matter is
that Hip Hop had been around and thriving long before the
landmark record 'Rapper's Delight' was released. But as is
often the case lots of folks who went out and built
businesses around this '20th anniversary never sat down
with Hip Hop's pioneers and took what they had to say
seriously.
This past weekend many of Hip Hop's pioneers held a press
conference which included: Afrika Bambaataa, Kool Herc,
DJ Jazzy Jay, Grandmaster DST, Tony Tone of Cold Crush
Bros., Yoda of Crash Crew, Awesome 2 (Special K & Teddy
Ted) and many more Zulu Nation members. Here they announced
the upcoming celebration of Hip Hop Culture's official
birthday-November 12th 1974. There will be a week long
celebration which will include grafitti, break dancing
and turntablism. There will also be an awards show.
During the press conference, Bambattaa and Kool Herc spoke
about the continued exploitation of Hip Hop by the media,
press, record labels and radio stations. "We have to take
it back!" was primarily the theme of the evening as various
Hip Hop pioneers took the podium to express their views on
the "sad state of affairs regarding media's constant
exploitation of guns, drugs, ice jewels, and hip-hop
culture as a target".
For those who are familiar with Zulu Nation, they've come
a long ways since the early days when they were seen more
as a gang to be feared then as an organization that
strives to represent Hip Hop culture. Interestingly enough
many of Hip Hop's first b-boys including Bam were gang
members. Hence Hip Hop was really an expression from the
streets. Around '74 the city of New York was pushing to make
a serious crack down on the growing gang problem that
existed in the Big Apple. The attempts being made were
similar to the ones that have been put forth by NY's current
mayor. As the traditional gangs like The Black Spades, Savage
Skulls, Glory Stompers etc were disbanded, under Hip Hop
culture they resurfaced with new names like Casanova Crew,
Nine Crew and of course Zulu Nation and Gestapo.
Under Bam's leadership, he attempted to move Zulu into a
more positive and socially conscious light as he began
setting up chapters all over New York City by the early 80s
such a change had occurred when Zulu Nation held their first
big anniversary celebration in Midtown Manhatten. If memory
serves me correctly this may have taken place around '81 or
'82. In any case Zulu Nation is a world wide organization
with more then 10 thousand members and chapters all over
the world. It's members are committed to preserving Hip Hop
and in many cases have actually involved themselves in local
politics. It's a shame Zulu isn't officially consulted more
by all these big entities who wish to be involved in Hip Hop.

INTERVJU: KOOL KEITH
""""""""""""""""""""
Ultramagnetic Kool Keith plunges full speed ahead in conversation
with Platform's Tom Constabile.
Polluted skies are purple and orange neon. Dr. Octagon is dead,
vanquished amidst Dr. Doom's evil void. Elvis is back and he's
black.
.....Hip-hop's bizarro world has dawned, and Kool Keith's wavering
sanity is all that's holding things together. Baller's and Playa's
flossy rental cars and cubic zirconia Rolexes vanish, revealing
insecure, media conforming robots to pop's newest thing-- thug life
for the whole family. Internet commerce and hip-hop news and rumors
fade into Y2K failure-- no match for the immortal technology with
which Martians blessed Keith, that next-level, superhuman lyricism
of the ultimate playa-hater, cross-over entertainer.
.....Enter the playground of hip-hop's original psychedelic,
identity-shifting leader of the rebellion versus the "keep-it-realism"
federation facade. Dr. Octagon was a decoy anyway, working night
shifts undercover both for the FBI and Dr. Doom. Black Elvis is here
now to entertain all earth-people into awareness. George Clinton
taught him everything he knows.
.....Beyond all of the science fiction and psychotic shock value of
Kool Keith's mind altering lyrics and multiple personalities does
exist the grounded center of a funny guy. While he may have entered
his hotel room for our interview wearing a Martian space helmut,
designed to inspire adventurous press as we have embarked upon in
the opening paragraph, Keith truly just wants everyone to have
some fun. (His color coordinated Baltimore Orioles warm-up and old
school orange and white Nike air's told us so).
.....Saying that he made sense through the whole interview, and that
he seemed to be quite sane, would mislead you. What should be stated
is that though he believes that Martians have visited the Earth, he
also makes a lot of sense when it comes to challenging hip-hop's
contradictions and overall current tendency to mimic itself for
album sales.
.....Analyze him late at night with black light posters all you want.
Keith is intentionally abstract. In the end know that what he wants
is for people to take the music back to something more risky,
something more innovative, something less serious and less violent.
He is a child of electric funk-- Funkadelic, Ohio Players, Zapp-- the
Bronx's hustling streets, and 42nd Street's infamous freak fest.
Colorful, outlandish stuff. But he's a thinker, too. Hip-hop's court
jester and poet laureate at once, his two new albums are out to
redefine what it means to "represent."
.....For Keith, it's more about how you "reinvent." A warrior pushing
black music, and hopefully black culture, into the pace of the
future, he has just dropped independently, as Dr. Doom, on Funk Ass
Records, First Come, First Served. He will follow only a month later
with the solid Black Elvis LP on Columbia/Ruffhouse.
.....The original independent urban artist, funky and personality-split
way before The Artist found his symbol, Keith is serving up rat
burgers for phony thugs and lyrical jewels for candied ravers. As punk
as he wants to be, this guy might even make you wanna dance this time
around. Lock up your platinum records and hide your gold fronts,
because Keith is coming original this year!

'RUKE DALJE OD ASSATE'...
Congratulations are in order to artist like Common Sense,
Dead Prez, The Roots, Black Star and Q-Tip to name a few.
They have all put forth their time and talent for an
upcoming political Hip Hop project entitled 'Hands Off
Assata'. This album is a benefit designed to bring
attention to 2Pac's exiled Aunt Assata Shakur who now
lives in Cuba as well as America's numerous 'political
prisoners'.
For folks who are not familiar with the story surrounding
Assata, in 1973 she was known as Joanne Charismard. She
was a member of the Black Panther Party who was accused
and convicted for shooting to death a New Jersey State
Trooper. The situation surrounding her case was marked
with controversy as many claimed that she was innocent.
Assata managed to escape prison and has since been hiding
out in Cuba. For years Assata was all but forgotten by
the mainstream public until a couple of years ago when
current New Jersey Governor Christie Whitman began to
involve herself. She has offered a 50 thousand dollar
bounty for her return and has pushed to the US Congress
adapt a policy that would make Assata's return to New
Jersey as one of the conditions for any meaningful
US/Cuban relations to take place. Please see the
following articles on my website [http://www.daveyd.com]
including an open letter from Assata Shakur for more
information
http://www.daveyd.com/assataletterpol.html and
http://www.daveyd.com/letgovwhitpol.html.
Over the years there has been a cultural exchange of
sorts with Cuba and many within the Hip Hop community.
Chuck D of Public Enemy invoked her name in a couple
of songs. Numerous artists ranging from Michael Franti
of Spearhead to Common Sense to Paris have traveled to
Cuba to perform. Many have actually sat down and 'broke
bread' with Shakur. She has also managed to stay very
active and up to date with the Hip Hop community. She
even offered some heartfelt 'constructive' criticism
about the types of activities and artistic approaches
taken by her late nephew 2Pac.
The upcoming project being put forth by Common and
other progressive artist will no doubt keep people up
to date about this story and the numerous others
surrounding activist from the late 60s and early 70s
who are doing time in American prisons behind some very
suspect circumstances.

MC HAMMER PRODAJE SVOJU KOLEKCIJU AUTOMOBILA
There will be a quite a number of people who are expected
to show up to The Forrest Faulknor & Sons Auction Company
this Thursday October 28th in South San Francisco. The
reason being is that eight vehicles formerly belonging
to MC Hammer will be auctioned off. The vehicles include
a 1952 custom Chevrolet Coupe, 1967 Ford Thunderbird,
1964 Lincoln Continental Convertible, 1972 Mercedes Benz
350 SL, 1985 Mercedes Benz 500 SEC custom convertible,
1990 Mercedes 300 SEL sedan, 1991 Lincoln Limousine and
a 1990 Ferrari Testa Roosa with 9000 miles. I recall the
Ferrari, unfortunately the last time Hammer drove the
car he overheated the engine which means it will have
to be rebuilt. There have been a number of firm bids
for the Testa Rossa.
As this auction is set to take place MC Hammer has been
doing quite well. He had a successful comeback this summer
when he left 22 thousand people standing as he rocked
the house during KMEL's Summer Jam concert. He can also
be heard doing talk radio on KGO as well as commentating
during the SF 49er pre-games. He's had a number of songs
that he's dropped off to deejays here and there, but people
are awaiting his album. Many of the cuts will be from the
unreleased album he completed while he was an artist on
Death Row records. There are some slamming songs especially
one he did with 2Pac and Big Kaddy Kane.
With this auction set to take place the question that
everyone always asks.. 'Is Hammer poor broke and destitute?'
About as much as Donald Trump was when he filed for
bankruptcy a few years back :).

PE PREVARENI ZA KONCERT...
The Bay Area was treated to a number of Hip Hop shows this
week including performances from Redman and Method Man,
Public Enemy, Pharoah Monch, The Beatnuts and Del Tha
Funkee Homosapien and Casual. Meth & Red who's new album
'Blackout' is the bomb did what I consider a so-so show
during the Family Values Tour. The sound was jacked which
is endemic of most rap shows and the routine was somewhat
predictable. 10 minutes into the act they resorted to the
over done routine of getting each side of the audience
more hyped then the other. They also rushed through a
number of songs where they would just do a couple of
verses. The most annoying thing was the muffled vocals.
When you have two stellar lyricists like Red and Meth you
wanna be able to hear them clearly. Their sound should've
been like that of the headlining act Limp Bizkit..
Public Enemy got seriously jacked during their performance
at Maritime Hall in SF. For those who are unfamiliar with
maritime it is the only all ages venue in the city. It is
also one of the only places that will consistently bring
safe rap shows to the Bay Area. They tend to be quite
progressive in their booking as they have had everyone
from KRS-One to Tha Alkaholiks to Organized Konfusion.
Maritime is also a large venue with several stages that
can house several shows at one time. For the most part
it is one of the only games in town. The same night that
PE was scheduled to perform, reggae artist Linton Kwesi
Johnson was also booked. Quite naturally folks thought he
would be on one of the other stages which has a separate
entrance. Who would've thought Maritime would go and put
both acts on the same stage in one night.
When PE arrived in town they discovered that they would
have to be off the stage and out the venue by 8:30 pm
that night. Maritime was intending on clearing the hall
after the performance and bringing in a fresh new crowd
for Linton Kwesi. Needless to say this did not sit well
with anyone. PE maintained their professionalism and wound
up taking the stage at 7pm. Their show lasts for about
2 hours, but unfortunately had to cut it short. Maritime
threatened to pull the plug if they went over. The place
was packed but tons of people began showing up at the
venue around 9pm only to find out their favorite group
had left the building. Chuck accommodated people by doing
interviews well into the night, but Bay Area folks were
definitely duped and short changed by a venue that has a
somewhat 'shady' rep.
As for the show, it went real well. They had a new deejay
named Lord Auswaad who was filling in for Terminator X.
This kid was off the hinges as he was doing some
Invisible Skratch Piklz type of moves. According to Chuck,
Terminator was back in his home in North Carolina dealing
with the recent rash of floods and Hurricanes that have been
bombarding the state.

Bad news for Jay-Z and company and the fate of his newest film,
The Hard Knock Life Documentary. This is a movie that focuses
on the behind the scenes activities for the historic Hard Knock
Life Tour. It was said to be the highest grossing rap tour ever.
The other week it was announced that Jay-Z and former basketball
star turned theater owner Magic Johnson were close to striking
a deal which would result in Magic distributing Jay-Z's film.
However, late last week the deal fell through. Roc-A Fella
records co owner Damon dash claimed that Magic Johnson 'flaked'
and had gotten in over his head. Johnson noted that he could
only commit to showing the film in the three theaters that he
personally owns. He could not guarantee distribution in the
Lowes Theaters that he is affiliated with. Being the class guy
that he is, Magic wished Jay-Z and friends much success. In the
meantime Jay-Z will have his film distributed by Miramax films.
Look for it to drop sometime early next year as it will coincide

KPFA 94.1 FM...
In the November issue of The Source Magazine, there's an
excellent articled penned by writer Eric Arnold that talks
about the tumultuous struggle that took place over the summer
to save community radio station KPFA 94.1 FM in Berkeley. For
those unfamiliar with the station, KPFA is the nations oldest
and most powerful community radio station. Earlier this summer
the governing board - Pacifica that oversees the station and
holds the licence made some foul moves including a proposal
to sell the station. When on air deejays attempted to speak
out on the airwaves about this, the station was shut down and
huge protests were held. At one close to 20 thousand people
turned out at a rally.
The Bay Area's Hip Hop community played a key role in
mobilizing people around this issue of Free Speech and Free
Radio. Organizations like Third Eye Movement, STORM and
others gotten lots of young folks out into the streets to
defend the station. One of the key figures in helping bring
the Hip Hop community to the table was a raptivist named
Khalil Jacobs-Fantauzzi. Khalil is known around the Bay for
his activism especially within the Latino/Puerto Rican
community. He also taught a class up on UC Berekely campus
that dealt with Hip Hop. On numerous occasions he would
bless the mic with wicked freestyles of his own. His love
and passion for the music and culture are unparalleled.
During the station lock out Khalil would mobilize rappers
to rally in front of the station every Friday afternoon.
His on going activism resulted him being brutalized and
arrested by the police. In fact he was shown on the local
news channels being dragged away by police in what many
were saying was an unprovoked attack. One of things that
got the police upset was the fact that Khalil would
consistently take pictures and write down badge numbers
of any officer who stepped out of line toward the
protesters.
This Thursday at 8:30 am Khalil finds himself having to
face charges at Berkeley's Municipal Court. From the
looks of things it appears that he is personally being
singled out due to the fact that there were more then
100 arrests during the KPFA Lockout and all but his
charges have been dropped. Bay Area folks are being
asked to come out and show support.. The Hip Hop
community is being asked to be aware and support one
of our own.. For more info peep out the website

*QUESTION OF THE WEEK*
Have you ever paid close attention to Hip Hop lyrics and come
away shaking your head because some of the information being
spouted was just plain wrong. For example in Biggie's song
'Going Back To Cali' he rattles off a slew of California
area codes but then he mistakenly gives one '313' which
doesn't exist anywhere in the state. If I'm correct, I
believe that's the area code to Michigan. Puffy in his recent
remix pays tribute to the Bay Area by naming off some Bay Area
cities but then goofs by naming off San Diego which is 500
miles away.. In KRS-One's classic record 'Why Is That' he
spouts off some Biblical verses and passages that simply
don't coincide with the lyrics to his song.. I've heard other
songs where people have spelled names wrong in an attempt
to rhyme on time. Others like Foxy Brown in the song
'Affirmative Action' by The Firm drops a verse that just
doesn't make sense.. Others have used slang terms the wrong
way.. Have you come across any gross misrepresentations
in a song.. Drop me a line so I can share this with others.
In the immortal words of Guru 'Watch What You Say'.

Not counting the strictly-Raiders-and-Kings-gear sounds of
bangin'-on-wax, there are three distinct camps of hip hop
staked out within L.A.'s landscape ş Melrose, Roscoe's and
cholos. There's: (1) the smoking section occupied by the
funk-freakin' Soul Assassins; (2) those happy-hour-bumrushers
known as the Likwit Crew; and (3), just a short bizarre ride
away, the envelope pushing-and-shoving underground sounds of
the Good Life/ Project Blowed. Somewhere in the middle of
those three creative Cali cliques you'll find Dilated Peoples:
Evidence, a clever weatherman; Iriscience, a triple optometrist
and DJ Babu, the Dilated Junkie who celebrates duck season all
year long.
Three guys with a trio of acclaimed 12-inches on ABB Records,
Dilated Peoples' angle-working strategy is supported by the
balance of the group itself. And we're not talking about the
corny kind of balance that wack fools talk about in interviews,
like,"Yeah, we got somethin' for everybody - a slow song for
the girls, hype shit for the fellas, a club joint." Nah, fuck
that. Dilated Peoples have two highly skilled MCs (who met
through graffiti writing) with completely different lyrical
styles, along with a world champ, unfadable 'ablist manning
the decks.
VICE: What's up with your name?
Evidence: To dilate is to grow. We are peoples of expansion.
Plus, it's a play on 'dilated pupils,' when your pupils are
open. You know, that's some shit the cops ask you or some
shit like that. My mom was always asking me that: "Why are
your pupils dilated?" Break down your two different rhyme
styles. We touch a lot of ground. Iriscience's background
is poetry ş Watts Prophets and Gil Scott-Heron. So he
manifests a lot of complex and subliminal messages, but
delivered through a raw cadence. And I'm influenced by
Special Ed, Parrish Smith and Rakim.
Iriscience:In the natural flow of things, I'm more concerned
with issues of consciousness, and I have a much more broad
interest in music, poetry and books, where Evidence is
definitely more focused on what the task at hand is. . .
The whole point is balance.
VICE: [Since you formed back in '92] was Dilated Peoples
influenced by the rest of the LA hip hop scene?
Evidence: Actually B-Real and Everlast are really big
influences on me. During our Immortal (Dilated's former label)
recording days, they were around the same area, and they
always encouraged me. If I was at the studio and they came
by the session, they'd be like "yo, turn off the lights,"
or "yo, memorize your rhymes first." Givin' me pointers.
Everlast told me to pull my dick out. On the real. [laughs]
He was like, "man, drop your drawers homie. Hold your dick
or somethin'."
Iriscience: [And just like Soul Assassins] the Likwit Crew
is also our extended family. As far as Good Life and Project
Blowed, we have a great deal of respect for them. We've been
working with Aceyalone on this project, so while we're not
specifically a part of that scene, I still get a chance to
express and build with those cats.
Evidence: And since I separate myself as a fan and an artist,
I would say that people like Freestyle Fellowship, the Good
Life movement ş and also Ice Cube, Too Short, King Tee and
the Liks ş they're all major influences on my personality,
but not on my style. As a writer, I block everything out.
Like, I could do any Mikah 9 verse, put me to the test, but
I don't need to rhyme like them 'cause I can separate myself
from respect and biting. I think that in LA a lot of people
got so influenced by these cats that they felt that they had
to do their style to be on their team.
Iriscience: So while there's elements of all those [LA
artists] in what we do 'cause we're in the scene, hopefully
and more importantly, we don't fall under the banner of
anything else. We're trying to blaze new trails and new
paths, and say, "hey, this is another way we can roll." Any
words for aspiring young punks out there? Evidence: Really
question why you do this. It's like, watch-what-you-ask-for-
'cause- you-just-might-get-it type shit. I know it's come
up in my head a few times. Why are you doing this? 'Cause
you want some pussy? Or 'cause you want money to buy weed?
Or to pay rent? Or because you love it? What's your motive
behind it? Make sure you're doing this for the right reasons.

INTERVJU: EVE FROM THE RUFF RYDERS
By APANI B
I've become a perfectionist so much that I'm agonizing over where
to start this article. Gotta find the perfect angle, just like in
my music. Although a full length Apani project has been years in
the making, I couldn't imagine not taking several months to take
care that all my doohickeys are completely calibrated,
knowhutImsayin? I need time to percolate and marinate over tracks,
concepts and lines.
Times have changed since I first aspired to go pro with this music
thing. New artists are mass-produced and spit out in cycles. Get
the hot ones in fast and get 'em out when they ain't so hot any
more. Fans don't display the cult-like loyalty they used to in the
good old days of Elvis, so cranking out hit after hit nowadays is
the standard. The race is on for consumer affections and you must
stay fresh in their minds. The downside is that keeping up with
the Joneses, eventually will lead to burn out. Artists need to
take a break from politics, phony-ness, the break-neck pace or
all of the above. In addition, music suffers, creativity
diminishes. That being said, one can conclude that with all the
cycling in and out of these young artists, it's hard to establish
a career in black music. How many times have you seen an aging
rock star twenty years past his heyday in leather pants, eyeliner
and lipstick, gyrating his tired-ass booty and sticking out his
tongue? Yet, I'm practically a dinosaur in the rap game at 25,
and I've barely begun.
In rock, alternative or pop, you can grow up in the music. I
mean there are fewer deteriorated female rock stars, but they
have better chances than us emcees. I remember when I'd never
wear a skirt if performing. Rugged women like the Boss, or
Lyte that were taken seriously as emcees. For example, one
of my favorite emcees back in the day was a chic named
Shazzy. She had a song called "Jigahoe" and in her video
she was slick in a fur coat, dapper-ass suit and upswept
hair-do. I thought, damn she's spitting and she's smoother
than a motherfucker. She had a major deal on Elektra, who
signed Yo-Yo, Lin-Que, Latifah's Flavor Unit, Lyte and now
Rah-Digga. Seems Shazzy was way ahead of her time, yet she
never dropped an album. Now's the time of the
slick out-the-mouth female who's sleek on the screen. You
gotta love Lil' Kim, who I crown the official cosmetic
queen. She's had breast augmentation, never leaves home
without her wig hat, and rocks outrageously loud outfits
that look like haute couture r la Ringling Bros., Barnum
& Bailey. Foxy, lot's of make-up, lots of T&A hanging out
all over the place. Charli Baltimore was launched in a
cloud of mystery surrounding what Biggie's 2nd mistress
looked like. Her pictures look like fashion layouts; they
aren't natural or personal.
Finally there's Eve, who seems to have answered the prayers
of Interscope's marketing department. A female who can talk
some foul-mouthed street shit, men find her sexy, has a
professional understanding of make-up artistry and fashion,
and will perform as long as you can watch. Still what
separates her is credibility. Eve writes her own songs
and doesn't need to be lead by the nose. She's capable of
thinking for herself. After our conversation, I couldn't
help reflecting on something she said, "I remember thinking
before I got on, that I couldn't wait to get up in this
game so I could show the world what I could do." I think
the same thing everyday. That hunger keeps my dinosaur ass
in the game.

MASTER P IZBACEN IZ TORONTO RAPTORSA...
Bad news for Master P as he was cut from the squad of the
Toronto Raptors. As you know this was the second year in
a row that Master P aka Percy Miller tried to break into
the ranks of the NBA. Last year he made the final cut
with the Charlotte Hornets, but wound up being cut on the
last day. This year he along with former Duke forward
Antonio Lang were waived. The word is that Master P took
this defeat especially hard. Over the summer P spent a lot
of time trying to improve his game. Unfortunately the
coaches thought he was mismatched when inserted into the
closing minutes of Raptor exhibition games. Initially
Toronto coach Butch Carter was gonna put P on the injured
reserve list, but after consulting with the team's general
manager they decided it was best to cut him. Knowing
Master P and his will to win, I can see it only a matter
of time before he breaks the ranks of the NBA and makes
some serious noise.

VESTI...
Common is about to drop a new song called 'Doing It'. It will
be released on a white label to college and mixshow djs within
the next week or so... Mos Def is blowing up the spot for
Rawkus Records.. I don't care what anyone says.. the illest
verse I've ever heard on a Hip Hop record is his second verse
in the song 'Brooklyn'. I hope they make it a single so us
deejays can cut it up on the turntables.. That album is a
classic.. As for Mos Def's group Black Star, they are in the
studio recording an album for MCA records.. not Rawkus.
All you Killer Priest fans be on the look out 'cause home boy
is about to drop a new single entitled 'View From Masada'.
Look for it around December. Jay_Z will soon be dropping his
new lp just in time for Christmas. He promises it will be
a more socially conscious approach toward Hip Hop... Also is
it me or has Rakim's new single 'When I be On The Mic' dropped
without much fanfare? The song is pretty cool, but I hardly
hear anyone rocking it at least here in the Bay Area.. I had
an interesting conversation with DJ Mind Motion of the Pirate
DJs.. [They do a lot of the clubs out here in the Bay Area].
He was explaining that nowadays the average 21-22 year old
club goer has very little knowledge of Rakim. He complained
that it was hard for him to even play 'Eric B For President'
which is a Top 10 classic. He noted the new generation
loves Nas, Jay-Z, Mobb Deep and everyone else.. but all the
classic stuff like Big Daddy Kane, Biz and yes Rakim is
greeted with lukewarm response. If I hadn't seen such
reactions myself I would've not believed Mind Motion.. But
if you think about it, when Rakim first hit the scene in
'86 a kid who was 21 was only 8 years old.. What the hell
did an 8 year old know about Rakim?
The stuff I'm really feeling right now that everyone should
be peeping is all the dope music coming outta the Blackberry
Music camp. DJ revolution of the Sway & King Tech Wake Up
Show has a slamming project called 'R2K version 1.0'. Here
he has dope cuts from underground artist like Freddy Fox
aka Bumpy Knuckles, Rasco, Planet Asia, the late Big L and
Motion Man. Also off that same label are a couple of break
beat projects and a smoking single from Mykill Miers called
'The Illest'. Another simmering joint I've been bumpin' is
Dr Opp's 'Subterrain' where he talks about the exploitation
that goes on in Hip Hop.. It's definitely a phat cut..
Blackberry and Rawkus..when I see these labels I pick up
the package knowing I can count on having some dope Hip Hop
to get down to...
Props to Spice One and his new single 'Can't Fade Me'. This
is taken from the Ice Cube classic of the same name that
was featured on Amerikkka's Most Wanted'. Spice customized
it to fit his own backdrop as well as replaying the beats.
It's dope as hell.. His new album isn't bad either... ya
may wanna check for it..
Finally a couple of other gems not to sleep on include;
The Terror Squad album..All sorts of cuts like 'War',
"Pass The Glock' and 'As The World Turns' are not to be
slept on.. The new Cypress Hill 'World Wide' is pretty
cool.. Lets see if they can drop a good album.. I wish
Cypress could do like they did on their first lp when
they dropped 'How I Could Just Kill A Man'.
Am I off base for liking the Limp Biscuit/ Method Man
song 'N2Gether Now'? .. I played it the other night and
a few folks including Boots from The Coup called up and
started clowning and questioning my tastes in music..My
other partners at the station [KPFA 94.1 FM] took a long
step back and started handing me other records to play
because they weren't feeling the song either. I think
Fred Durst comes off pretty cool in that song.. Am I off
base? Am I missing something?
I did this interview for the Arizona Republic the other
day about the 'recent' trend in Hip Hop where Rap and
rock are merging. The whole Limp Biscuit, Kid Rock, Rage
Against The Machine thing has caught a lot of people's
attention. I'll give all these people their props..but
lets pay homage to the real forefathers of all this.. I
recall groups like Consolidated, Meat Beat Manifesto,
Michael Franti's old groups Disposable Heroes and The
Beat Nigs as fusing rap with Industrial style rock from
way back in the days. Some of those groups like Consolidated
and Disposable Heroes were extremely political in their
lyrics.. Whatever happened to them? I ran into one of
the Meat Beat Manifesto guys at the PE show the other
night.... But i didn't really get a chance to break bread..
Since were going back into time a bit.. Whatever happened
to the pioneers of LA's Hip Hop scene.. before there was
DR Dre and Ice T.. I recall groups like Formula V with
songs like Killer Groove, Rich Cason and Captain Rap
with songs like 'Bad Times 'I Can't Stand It'.. Remember
the Egyptian Lover? Wasn't he like one of the first cats
to go out and independently do Hip Hop and get paid? Does
anyone recall Ice T being down with a group called the
Zulu Kings that featured Mele-mel and Bronx Style Bob?

FBI Warns Of Y2K Race Violence
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Federal Bureau of Investigation
said Wednesday it was warning local police about the danger
of apocalyptic violence by white supremacist groups spurred
by the dawn of the year 2000.
In a statement, the FBI said it had wrapped up "Project Megiddo,''
a study of potential crimes "by individuals or domestic groups
who attach special significance to the year 2000."
The study highlights the dangers of fringe white supremacists
"who seek to initiate a race war,'' it said. It was being
distributed to law enforcement personnel nationwide.
The project was named for the ancient battleground in Israel
associated with Armageddon, the biblical scene of a final
battle between the forces of good and evil, prophesied to
occur at the end of world.
"The report is intended to...(warn) of the unique challenges
that may be presented by extremists motivated by millennial
agendas," the FBI said.
The report also cited a Year 2000-related threat from those
who fear the United Nations "will initiate an armed takeover
of the United States" and set up a "One World Government."
FBI Director Louis Freeh told Congress earlier this year that
the possible targets of such groups included Jews, non-whites
and their supposed "establishment allies, i.e. the federal
government."
In its statement, the FBI said it was aware that some militia
groups had moved to purge violent extremists. "These elements
are often very small cells or lone actors," it said.

PHARAOHE MONCH...
Pharaohe Monche has definitely been blowing up the spot
with his new solo lp Internal Affairs. I caught up with
him the other day to get the scoop on the man who many
are considering one of Hip Hop's most gifted emcees. He
explained that his new album focuses on his personal
journey's over the past couple of years, hence the name
Internal Affairs. He wanted to let off steam and feel
himself out as an artist without being confined by
people's expectations. Different sides of his personality
came through on the 15 tracks including him being very
vulgar and very street as well as being a bit spiritual
and socially conscious. He noted that he had a song
called The Eulogy that paid tribute to an artist
named Alli who painted the cover to Busta Rhyme's
album Extinction Level Event. The man had recently
passed away. He decided to take the song off the album
and may eventually release it as a b-side track to a 12".
He noted that it maybe some time before another Organized
Konfusion lp comes out. 'Organized Konfusion fans are
very critical' he explained. 'They will listen to every
word and take things apart'. Pharaohe noted that as a
result it would be extremely important that everyone
involved in an OK project be mentally ready and committed
to giving their 100%. Anything less then that would be
unfair to the group and the fans.. Basically Pharaohe
wanted to explore himself as an artist..
I asked him about his controversial song 'The Mayor' where
it starts off with gunshots. 'Was this song directed at
Mayor Giuliani?' Pharaohe said it wasn't initially. He
had written the song two years ago as the opening to a
script he was working on. The story line was about a guy
whose father worked for a police force and was responsible
for reducing the crime rate. Unfortunately the city's
Mayor took all the credit. When the father confronted the
Mayor he found himself getting black balled and eventually
fired. The father wound up being a stress case. The son
entered into the police force with the sole intent of
getting a chance to shoot and kill the Mayor. Pharoahe
noted that the current climate of New York City with the
numerous police shootings that were seemingly endorsed by
Giuliani made this song appropriate and in many ways
directed at New York's current Mayor. It captured many
people's frustrations and anger. Pharaohe also explained
that he dropped the script once he released the song.
He is currently finishing up another script which he intends
to make into an animation. It's basically about Armageddon
where all the white people and planet Earth's elite leave
the and Black folks are left behind to run the world. The
story centers around the type of directions they will take
and the types of struggles they go through to get organized.
He is working on the script with his partner Extreme and
will soon be set to shop it to various animation studios.
He seemed pretty confident that the story will be picked up
and eventually be put out.
Pharaohe concluded by noting that as much as he loves
Hip Hop, it's important for him to be involved in other
things such as script writing. He has a lot of talent and
should definitely be putting it to good use.. I also asked
him about battling.. he explained he really had no interest
in battling folks. He just wants to enjoy his time being
an artist.. He asked folks to allow themselves to be open
to all types of Hip Hop and not limit themselves. He asked
that fans not allow current trends to dictate their taste
in Hip Hop but instead that they decide for themselves
what style and type of approach toward Hip Hop they want
for themselves.

SPORTISTI U HIP HOP-u...
by Davey D
Looks like another athlete is attempting to put his emcee
skillz to the test. Bronco's running back Terrell Davis
will be celebrating his 27th birthday by giving fans a
performance of sorts with Legit. Terrell bust rhymes on
a track called 'It's All In The Game'. He also gets down
on another cut on Legit's album. Joining Terrell and Legit
on stage will be Andrew Wolfolk who was the original
saxaphone player for Earth Wind & Fire. Terrell maintains
he has always had a passion for music and wanted to get
down with Legit after seeing him perform at a local
Denver night club. After the season Terrell is expected
to be in the studio a lot more.
Now I'm not one to hate on anybody or knock somebody's
hustle, but with all this cross pollination going on
where athletes are turning rapper and rappers are
trying to turn athlete-Are we cheapening Hip Hop? From
a business stand point it makes sense. If Shaquille
O'Neal or even Michael Jordan puts out an album, which
one of their legions of fans is gonna turn it down?
They are merely capitalizing off their popularity. The
rap albums they put out is just another way of them
marketing merchandise. We buy the Air Jordan shoes,
The Allen Iverson cap so why not buy the Terrell Davis
album?
My concern is do these athletes have skillz to really
pay their bills? Would I be checking for Allen Iverson's
upcoming album if he wasn't playing for the Philadelphia
76ers? Would I really be checking for Terrell Davis
if he wasn't an MVP Running Back? With all these
athletes just jumping into the Hip Hop arena, signing deals
and putting out albums it makes it seem like anyone with
a little bit of fame and pocket change can come put out
an album. To me it cheapens the hard work that groups
like Gang Starr, Busta Rhymes? KRS-One and others put
into perfecting their craft. It seems like all this is
nothing more then an elaborate marketing scheme. The line
of thinking goes like this; Hip Hop is hot.. It makes
money and has tons of fans so lets put a famous face
behind the mic and sell tons of records. We'll get a
couple of legitimate rap stars like Nas or Mobb Deep
and have them do a couple of songs and boom we have
the ultimate marketing merchandise-A bonafide Hip Hop
album from the latest sports superstar.
After I reported about Allen Iverson story last issue
I received this email from one of my co-workers:
"Allen Iverson has a record deal...do you get why it's
so easy for the naysayers to laugh at hiphop as a genre
now???
When is Mark McGwire getting his own country album deal??"
As much as I hate to agree with him.. I think he summed
it best.. This is almost as bad as all the rap artist
who suddenly started appearing in movies to the detriment
of actors and actresses who studied the craft for years.
Directors were all of sudden overlooking trained actors
who sacrificed for years to hone their craft only to
put some kid with mic skillz in front of the camera. To
a degree it works. How many of us went to see Three Kings
or Anaconda because of Ice Cube? If Davey D did a flick
like 'I Got The Hook Up' would any of you guys reading
this newsletter have gone seen it? Like Whodini once
said 'It All Comes Down To The Money'.
The overall point I'm making is not that people shouldn't
try their hands in other fields. I'm definitely all about
broadening my horizons. I also like the fact that
athletes are investing money into record labels and
studios. I just hate to see folks who are new to the
game all of a sudden become the spokesperson or poster
boy for Hip Hop because of their fame. I wanna know that
Allen Iverson or Terrell Davis was out there carrying
record crates to shabby night clubs trying to be seen
and heard. I wanna know they were trying to get back
stage at a concert to get noticed by some folks before they
got their record deals. I wanna see their book of emcee
rhymes. I wanna see rhymes they wrote in the back of
class and accumulated over the years. I don't wanna see
some big record deal and instant air play and video play
simply because he scored the winning basket or touch down.
It cheapens Hip Hop. All these athletes making their way
to the mic is no different then the neighborhood dope man
deciding to put out his own tape. At least in the latter
case the man is usually trying to go legit. Here with
all these rich athletes getting record deals is making
Hip Hop illegit especially if they don't have skillz.

A DYING BREED: INTERVJU SA SAAFIR-OM
By: Adisa, "The Bishop"
In a rap world where looking like your life has been rough,
has become more important than actually having lived a rough
life, it's kinda hard to appreciate an MC like Saafir Tariq
Mahmoud. From dealing with being raised in a broken home, to
fighting inmates in juvenile facilities and battling
homelessness- Saafir overcome several lifetimes worth of
trials and tribulations. He speaks to you through eerily
emotionless eyes that hide a little over two decades of pain.
As a major factor in the underground rap game, he strikes
fear in the hearts of many would be rap kings. Saafir's
mere presence in the cipher makes cats rap, walk and talk
different. He's been known to pick pocket MC's while they
battle him- and lose. His new album "The Hit List (Dirty)"
[Qwest Records] is two years old and it's STILL light years
ahead of any album out right now. As we sat on his porch
to take shelter from a lightning storm, he shared his
philosophies on life, artistic liberty and his unhappiness
with Hip Hop.
AB: Your full name is Saafir Tariq Mahmoud, are you Muslim?
S: I was raised Muslim, and I constantly study to build my
spiritual self. But my spiritual and religious life like
to keep private.
AB: Most cats associate the name Saafir with Digital
Underground ,or, the carjacking scene in Menace to Society,
or, how you battled Hiero on the Wake Up Show a few years
back- does that bother you?
S: It don't bother me, but now.....It's cool to be recognized
for my accopmlishments and what not. But I don't put too
much on it. I just do what I do and keep ridin'. I don't
want people to be like "Oh, you did this. You did that."-
I didn't do nothin'. I'm operating all under the grace of
God. If thats waht I gotta do, then I'm gonna be down and
do it.
AB: Well, since we're talking about it now, how DID you get
that part in Menace anyway?
S: At the time I was dealing with Digital Underground on an
artistic level. I was affiliated with Money B and then I
started hanging with Tupac. I moved in with Tupac.. The
brotha extened his gratitude to me in like 1990-91. I was
homeless and dealing with a lot of drama. But I stayed with
him. And this was right around the time he was doing the
video for "Brenda's Got A Baby". The Hughes Bros. did the
video for that. After the shoot, I guess Pac didn't really
wanna kick it with 'em. They was at a hotel in Oakland. I
called 'em and broke bread with 'em. They aked me "Whats
there to do out here"? I went through there. We did our
thug thang. They asked me if I acted. I told them I acted
every day with the police. They were like "OK, we gonna
shoot you a script, since you was holdin' us down while
we were out here". Two weeks late the script came, I read.
I called them back, they called me back. They flew
me down, and I read for the casting directors. They told
me I got the part and it was on.
AB: You face has become immortal for that scene. Why
didn't we see you in more flicks after that?
S: At the time I didn't have representation. You know I
was a young rider, stickin' and movin' as it is. And the
more brothas and sistas recognized me for Menace, the
more I wanted to slip ino the cut. I wasn't used to that
level of attention. Dealing with certain aspects of what
they call "the reality of life", and the cats thats around
it you tend to get paranoid. If you're not paranoid to the
point of always being attentive, you're stupid. But I
wasn't really used to that, so I slid into the cut. Plus
I didn't want to go through all the ails that actors go
through trying to get other jobs. I wanted to prove my
point in this rap shit and let 'me know that I'm a
hitter when ti comes to this rhymin'. Once I got a lil
noteriety [as an MC] I could let them know my talents
as an actor. My father and my uncle were actors as well
as musicians. So it comes natual to me in my blood through
my experiences. I'm trying to get a hit, get noticed, bump
up into a good movie and let my talent shine.
AB: So, do you ever talk to the Hughes Bros. anymore?
S: I seen the briefly at a restaurant when I was chopping
it it up with this cat about this record you're about to
hear. I got they number, called 'em. Got the answering
machine. I guess schedules is so hectic once they reached
a certain level in Hollywood that it's hard to reach out
to certain cats. But I know they doin' they thang and
hopefully I can break bread with them in the future,
touch one of them flicks and grace the screeen.
AB: But you just finished doing an independent flick right?
S: Yeah WAS called "Fishes Outta Water", but they changed
it. But I have a starring role in it. Shock G is in the
movie, Fat Joe- no big names but at lot really good actors.
It's really an abstract movie, so it's hard for me to
even explain it to you. It'll reach the Sundance Film
Festival and the theates soon hopefully. Regardless it was
kind of a bootcamp kind of thing. I was in wat that was
32 degrees. I was jumping off of 50 foot cliffs backwards
doing cannon balls. I do all my own stunts. So anybody
who wants to fuck with me, I'm a stunt man too.
AB: So Jackie Chan should be checkin' for you?
S: Oh yeah he can check for me. I got bullet wounds and
bad knees but we can break bread Jackie, Jackie!!
AB: I saw you popped in that Mya video a few months back.
How'd you hook up with her?
S: I did a fashion spread in Rap Pages by way of Marc
Littlejohn [the fashion editor]. He asked me to to a
spread with Miss Toy from the Milita and Terry Dexter.
So, I did it and some girls that run Star Casting and
Entertainment saw it. They showed Mya the spread and
she was interested. So they called me through this
hustler named Monalisa. Monalisa got at me and told
em about it. I called and went down there with my man
Troy Shelton, who knoew her manager. They breoke bread,
I went down there and politiced with her. She was a
real female. It kinda caught me by surprise. Not that
I saw her as fakem but you know how fake Hollywood
shit is today. It was surprising to find a real one
at the status she's at. She was real with hers so it
was easy to act with her.
AB: Speaking of groups, what happened to the Golden
State Warriors?
S: Everybody is doing their own solo projects, but we
still around.
AB: At this point in your career, you got this new album
The Hit List [Qwest Records]. It was finished almost a
year and a half ago, yet it's still light years ahead
of a lot of stuff thats out right now. How did you
manage to pull that off?
S: Basically, when I wrote the album I tried to keep it
conceptual. Having the moniker "The Hit List" basically
explains me killin' the rhyme. But what I wrote, I wrote
from the soul, I didn't write from the mind. I write
from the inside focusing my thoughts to come with a simple
strategy. I guess when you focus on the authenticity,
mixed with the creativity, you usually get classic
material that lasts beyond the time span of the average.
AB: So, do you have any other projects you're working
on right now?
S: A lot of my focus right now is going into a clothing
company I'm starting called Poli' Wear. Clothes to
politic in- ya know? It's gonna be real hot. Real
quality material and fresh designs, be on the lookout
for it...
AB: It's weird, because on one hand you have put in a lot
of work. You battled hella cats and did mad shows. On the
other hand, you only released like two albums. At the same
time, you make other rappers change their style. Do you
feel pressure being as talented as you are? Knowing that
"If I do XYZ, THESE cats are gonna change".
S: No, I don't feel any pressure. The only pressure I feel
is to satisfy my own need to create at a very premium
level. But I don't care about other cats changing up they
shit and biting. That seems to be the trend in hip hop
today. Everybody is brainwashed and everybody bites. I
keep to the originality. I don't do what everybody else
is doing. You gotta walk that fine line. You gotta get
that paper fa 'sho. But you gotta keep your individuality,
keep your integrity and keep some sort of fucking pride
in your profession. That shit is is like non existent in
Hip Hop today. The shit that's coming out is fucking
terrible. You got a couple of thug niggas who can really
bust. Give them there's. I don't knock nare niggas hustle.
But at the same time it's like "God Damn man, if you can't
rap nigga get the fuck outta here". But if you can hustle
your way throughout he middle of that shit, but, can't
bust a lick because of muthafuckas that buying that
bullshit... you know circulating in the matrix as
brainwashed population then fuck it man get your money.
At the same time I'm a nigga of the ART. I respect niggas
with skills that really put time in. I mean, what happened
to that shit [the true arts of rhyming and battling]? It's
like everybody has a Webster's dictionary with the same
cover. But if I come like a thesaurus- I'M WACK, I'M WEAK?
......And some niggas out here got other niggas writing
for you, and you actin' like YOU doin' it? You a sucka.
If you in this game and you can't write, what are you in
this game for? To get ya money, right? Well, get you
money and get the fuck up outta here!

BEATS BY THE POUND NAPUSTAJU MASTER P-JA...
Caught up with veteran producer DJ Darryl the other day
and he told me that he was on his way out of town to do
some production work for Kane & Abel. These names should
all be familiar to you because they were once part of
the No Limit Family.. Kane & Abel who have just dropped
a new lp entitled 'Rise To Power', ran into some trouble
with the law last year when they were accused of
trafficking cocaine. They have vehemently denied the
charges and have since left No Limit. DJ Darryl's
initial claim to fame was him being down with the Bay
Area's legendary rap group 415 which featured Richie Rich.
He later hooked up with Master P and became part of his
No Limit production team. About a year ago DJ Darryl
left explaining that Master P while taking care of some
of his artists was not hitting DJ Darryl with proper
compensation. Darryl since his departure has dropped
a compilation lp on his new label Bomb Shelter Music.
In our brief encounter he noted that Master P's production
team Beats By The Pound had also broke camp and changed
their name to the Medicine Men. In fact under the new name
they produced the new Kane & Abel album which ain't bad...
It's still unclear as to whether or not their departure
from No Limit is permanent. We'll keep you posted.

SWAY & KING TECH TRAZE BATTLE MC'S...
Sway & King Tech of the 'world famous' Wake Up Show are
getting ready to set things off-again. They are holding
international auditions for freestylers who wish to go
through rigorous rounds of emcee battles to see if they
qualify to go head to head with Supernatural or Juice.
If you recall back in September, Supernatural who hails
from the state of Wisconsin went up against the Chicago
based Juice. It was supposed to be the epic battle of
all time as they two gifted freestylers attempted to
win the 5 thousand dollar 'winner take all' prize purse.
Supernatural won and the result was a whole lot of
disgruntled Juice fans who listened to the battle on the
radio complaining that Juice was robbed despite the
unanimous nine judge decision.
King Tech explained that while the battle may have
sounded close on the airwaves it was definitely a
different story at the actual event. While Juice was
able to drop some nice rhymes.. he simply did not have
clear dominant presence compared to Supernatural. He
also explained that what folks heard on air was the
result of him having to seriously clean up the sound
and equalize it for air play. During the event Juice's
lyrics were muddled and not very clear to the audience.
And that wasn't do to the sound system. It was due to
his technique. In any case it's not certain if Juice
and Supernatural will return to the emcee arena to battle...
With regards to the upcoming tournament, Sway explained
that in order for an emcee to have the privilege of
battling Juice or Supernatural they will have to earn
that right. Hence they will have to endure several
rounds of battling in which they will get ranked.
There will be several cities in which these battles will
take place including LA and The Bay Area.. If anyone
wants to get down and see if they qualify they must
call this number 1-818-971-6112 and spit some verses.
Sway emphasized that they are seeking skilled emcees.
They don't want any non skilled crappy sounding wannabe
woodchucks trying to get on.. Only true lyricists with
battle skillz need to call the number..
Lastly be on the look out for the Wake Up Show's upcoming
project 'Freestyles Volume 5' It will feature folks like
KRS-One, Kool G Rap, Ahmad and several key surprises..
It will be dropping December 7th.. That's the same day
as the upcoming Biggie album.

2PAC YOUTH CONFERENCE...
With less then one month to go people here out west are
getting set for the upcoming 2Pac Youth Conference. The
event is scheduled to take place on December 4th at
McClymonds High School in west Oakland. This event is
being put together by a number of grassroots organizations
with the purpose of trying to bridge the generation gap
between the young Hip Hop generation and adults who have
often maligned the culture. There will be a workshop that
shows who 2pac was and how and why he was so relatable
to many within the community. There will be a number of
workshops focusing on youth issues including police
brutality and the upcoming controversial juvenile crime
bill which force 14 year olds to be tried as adults and
make it a felony for 400 dollars worth of graffiti. There
will be a workshop on Male Hood led by activist/poet
Marvin X. There will another workshop called Predators
To nation Builders. 2pac's mom Afeni Shakur as well as
former political prisoner and Black Panther Geronimo Pratt
will be on hand..Rap stars Digital Underground and Mac mall
will also be in the place. For more information regarding
the conference call 1-510-879-4519
In other 2Pac news. His new album And Still I Rise is set
to drop..and his new book 'The Rose That Grew From Concrete'
is already making waves. For those who aren't up on it..
This new book by 2pac is actually a collection of poems
that he wrote before he blew up in the rap game. He was
part of a writer's circle with his former manger Leila
Steinberg and former rapping partner Ray Luv. These poems
caught everyone's attention and caused quit a stir when
they read on the air the day Pac was killed. Some of the
poems were released and folks went out and sold t-shirts,
posters and other items with the poems inscriptions.
After 3 years of legal hassling and back room drama, the
poems were released in what is terrific book. Many of the
poems are in 2pac's hand writing and for the most part
absolutely incredible...
Here's an example of one poem entitled "U R Ripping Us
Apart - dedicated 2 Crack"
Before u came the triangle never broke
we were bonded and melded as one
But as the 2 pushed u away
The one got weak and embraced u
and now u R ripping us apart
The worst feeling of helplessness
The greatest pain has rested in my heart
The vision of heaven fades
and the nightmare of loneliness has started
My Hero has been defeated by you
and now what can I do
watch as u destroy us
and our love is finally through
I know the worst is here
I feel it in my Heart
u got into the circle
now you're tearing us apart!!!!!!

FREESTYLE UNION...
The Sacred Circle Spoken Word Festival that was held in
Newark New Jersey this past weekend was pretty cool.
Everyone from the Watts Prophets to Sonia Sanchez to
the Nuyorican Cafe to Sekou Sundiata was on hand. What
was really cool was the international flava. I saw kids
from as far away as London to Mozambique to South Africa
who came and represented. Most were able to flip engaging
poems or kick wicked freestyles.. Trust me folks Hip Hop
really is world wide.. There was this one kid named
General Dee from Mozambique who was kicked a hard
hitting freestyle about the conditions in his native
country. He did it in Portuguese and then explained what
he meant in English. The crowd gave him mad props.
The act that really caught me was the Washington DC
based Freestyle Union which is headed by this sista
named Toni Blackman. She explained that there are
about 10-15 members but when doing performances they
usually work in groups of 3-4. She along with a brother
named Ghost and this kid from Zaire hit the stage and
demonstrated another level in which Hip Hop can be
presented. They took a theatrical approach as opposed
to the all to commonplace walking back and forth,
grabbing crotches and yelling for the sound man to
turn the mics up. They would rap around a subject and
literally act it out.. It was kind of like watching a
Hip Hop musical, but in no way was it corny or contrived.
Freestyle Union members have mad skillz and could easily
hold their own and then some against anyone. They
further demonstrated their lyrical agility when they
solicited topics from the audience and then all three
would lay down some dope rhymes that spoke to the
subject. The first topic tossed out by an audience member
was 'rent'. Ghost & Toni flipped verses off the dome
about the stresses of having to get their rent in on time.
It was humorous and skillfully done.. The emcee from Zaire
totally mashed it when he cleverly started freestyling
about the Broadway play 'Rent' and how he wanted to get
on stage and join the other actors. They had a female
deejay who was pretty nice on the wheels.. I apologize
for not having everyone's names but I lost my notes..
In any case if you happen to be in the Washington DC area
be sure to check for Freestyle Union. If you're looking
to book a group capable of doing a good show in addition
to taking a creative approach toward doing a Hip Hop
show be sure to reach out. Lastly much props are in
order for Freestyle Union because they are reaching
out and not only staying active within their community
but they are doing an exchange program with Hip Hoppers
in South Africa. In fact some of the folks from SA
were at the Festival..They too have nice skillz.. Hit
Freestyle Union up at mailto:toni_blackman@hotmail.com.

Everlast Interview on Islam
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""
By: Adisa Banjoko
AB: Tell me about the first time you learned about Islam?
E: It was probably around the late 80's. I was hangin' out
with Divine Styler. He was basically at the end of his 5%
period. He was starting to come into Islam. He lived with
the Bashir family. Abdullah Bashir was sort of his teacher,
and mine it wound up later. As he was making the transition
from 5% into Islam I would just be around and hear things.
I'm trying to think of the first time I recognized it AS
Islam. I think it was when one of Divine's friends took
Shahada and I was there. I heard him say "I bear witness
that there is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is the servant
and messenger". And I remember me being like "What is this?
I'm white, can I be here"? It was outta ignorance, you know?
'Cause here in America, Islam is considered a "Black thing".
And thats when someone pointed out to me "You have know
idea how many white Muslims there are in the world". I was
like, "Really", and somebody broke it down. I said "Thats
crazy, I had no clue".
AB: Do feel any extra pressure being a white Muslim in
America?
E: I don't think of it on the grand scale. To me, Islam
is mine. Allah is the God of all the worlds, and all
mankind and all the Al-Amin. Islam is my personal
relationship with God. So, nobody can put any more
pressure on me than I can put on myself. But as far as
the mosque where I pray, I have never felt more at home
or more welcome. And it's not just mine. The few mosques
that I've gone to around the country, I've never ever
been made to feel uncomfortable. Like in New York the
mosque is big and there's so many people that nobody is
lookin' to notice you. There were Chines, Korean,
Spanish- everything. Which was a good thing for me
because at my mosque I'm the only white male, there
are some white females. I think at first I thought about
it more than anybody else, the first couple times I
went to Juma (Friday afternoon prayer). The first time
I went to Juma I was taken by a friend of mine in NY.
It was in Brooklyn in Bed-Stuy. I was nervous about the
neighborhood I was in, not the mosque. But I was just
so at ease once I was there. I was like "This is great".
I didn't feel any different than anybody else in the
mosque.
AB: How did your family take your turning to Islam?
Because you were raised Catholic, right?
E: Well, you know my mom is very open minded, very
progressive. My mother lives with me. And I've been
raised all my life with not a BELIEF in God, but a
KNOWLEDGE that he exists. I was taught "If anything
in the world, know there's a God". Any my mom, even
though she was Catholic she was the first person to
point out hypocrisy in the church. My mom really
hasn't attended church in a long time. But as far as
me, my mom is just happy that I have god in my life.
She sees me making prayers. And Divine is one of her
favorite people in the world. She knows how much
different we are than when she first knew us as kids.
When me and divine first hooked up we were wild. We
were out partyin', fightin', doin' whatever we had to
do. We thought "Yeah, that's what being a man is about.
We're gonna go out here and be thuggish". She has
seen how much it's changed me and him. And how much
peace it's brought me since I've started to really
accomplish something with it. I actually had a long
talk with my mother the other day and we were on the
topic of religion. We were actually talking about
life and death and the future and when she might go.
That won't be for a long time, inshalla (god willing).
But I asked her to do me one favor I said "Mom, if
when you die there might be some angels who ask you
a question and I want you to answer it. and I'm not
ure exactly how it goes, 'cause I ain't died yet.
Remember that there's only one God, and he's never
been a man". She said "I know what you are trying to
tell me. I said "Jesus wasn't God, ma". Some of what
I know has definitely shown up in my mother. She's no
Muslim, but she knows there's only one God. And that
makes me very happy. I know guys that have turned
towards Islam and there families have turned them out.
AB: My family tried to. I just can't understand that.
But you know what? That's a trial. Although I've changed
my name for like 8 years now. They still run up calling
me by my birth name. then it's "Oh I forgot that you're
Muslim". Then it's the pork jokes. It never stops.
E: It's one of those things where people laugh at what
they don't understand. Or they fear what they can't
grasp. The thing is that nobody can pretend that they
don't understand it. Because I've never come across
anything more simple in my life. Like I remember that
when I sat down and asked "So, what does a Muslim
believe"? And I got the list run down to me.....I was
like "You don't put up the wall between Christianity
and Judaism"? They were like "Nah, it's all the same
story". If when you finally get down to reading the
Qu'ran, the Bible and the Torah, which is pretty
much just the Old Testament. You find that the Qu'ran
is just an affirmation of what is correct and isn't
correct within those books. And then you say to
yourself "How did that go down when these cats were
all from different parts of the world"? But they are
all confirming each others story. I'm reading a book
right now called "Muhammad: The Life of the Prophet",
by Karen Armstrong. It was written by a non Muslim. So
far, I'm only about a quarter of the way through. But
it starts out telling you how they originally tried to
make Muhammad look like the most evil man on the earth.
That he established Islam under the sword. But then
you learn that Muhammad only fought when he had to.
Muhammad only fought to defend Islam. It's a very
good book about the man. It just lets you know that
this cat was MAN. We ain't trying to tell you that
he was anything else but a man. We're telling you
as Muslims that he was the most perfect example of
a man to walk the earth so far. And from what I've
read he is the last one to come of his kind so far.
When you get beyond begin scared of Farrakhan and
what he's sayin'...And here as a white person I'm
speaking.....when you get beyond the ignorance of
believing that Islam has anything to do with just
people that are blowing up things- that doesn't
have anything to do with Islam. THEY might do it
in the name of Islam. But it has nothing to do with
Islam You can't argue with it. When I explain Jesus
to a Christian, the can't argue with me. And I don't
mean argue, saying "Jesus isn't God"!! I mean, how
much more sense does it make that He's a man? If I
was Christian, which to me means to be Christ-like,
and god asks me "Hey how come you weren't more like
Jesus". I'll say, I wasn't more like Jesus because
you made him half of a God. I'm only a man". That
doesn't make any sense. God doesn't want things hard
on us. God wants things easy as possible. Allah is
going to make it as easy as possible. If you ask and
you are sincere, Allah WILL bring it to you. He might
throw some rocks on your path, to make you trip and
stumble. But it's gonna come to you.
AB: Talk to me about the first and second time you
took your Shahada.
E: Well the first time it was right after I had heard
a tape from Warith Deen Muhammad (Elijah Muhammads son
who left the N.O.I) That just kinda broke down the
whole Jesus thing. He explained that we (Muslims) do
Christians a great favor by bringing Jesus down to the
level of a man. Why would God create a man who is half
a God and compare us to him? And it just sent off a
bomb in my head. So I took Shahada. And then the
initial high wore off. It was almost like a Christian
who says that they accept Jesus. Then they say, "No
matter what I do now I'm saved". 'Cause I was raised
with that kinda mentality. Like "OK, I accept the
truth so let me just go out here and sin my butt off
and I'm saved". I didn't really claim to be Muslim
though at that time. I picked and chose what I wanted
to believe. Allah gave me leeway for a time. But
eventually it was time to fish or cut the line. I was
coming to a point where I was unsatisfied emotionally,
and spiritually. I had money in the bank and $100,000
car, women left and right...Everything that you think
you want. And then just sitting there being like "Why
am I unhappy". Finally that voice that talks to you-
not the whisper.The voice said "Well, basically you're
unhappy because your living foul and your not trying
to do anything about it". My stubbornness at that time
wouldn't allow me to talk about it at that time. You
get in that state of mind where you're like "I can
figure this out all by myself". I finally got humble
enough to talk to Divine and Abdullah about it. They
asked me "How do you feel? What do you think it is"?
So finally I'm sittin' there taking Shahada again.
From that point on I've made a commitment where I'm
going to try my best. I'm gonna do my best to make my
prayers, let's start there. Let's not beat our selves
up because we went out last night and had a drink. Let's
make our prayers and pray for the strength to stop
doing one thing at a time. That's what I'm still
dealing with. You know, one you get over the big things,
it becomes very subtle. It can be as subtle as looking
a man, and not even speaking bad about him- but back
biting him in your mind. The easy ones to beat. Well,
I shouldn't say easy, the BIG ones are easy to notice.
It's the subtle psychological stuff that helps you get
into who really you are. You gotta be able to face the
truth of who you are. If you are not able to face that
truth of who you are, you're gonna crumble, man. People
question me and go "You're Muslim"? And I'm like, "Yeah
I'm Muslim, but I'm also a professional sinner. I'm
tryin' to get over it, tryin' to retire. I won't front
and say I'm better than you. I just believe that I've
been shown the truth and hopefully that will save me".
By the end of my life I'll hopefully be able to look
back and say " Good and bad all in all I did my best
to be good and to be kind". One of the things I trip
on in the Qu'ran is that Allah tells us basically that
the bad deeds you do are only worth the bad deeds you
do. But every good deed you do is worth ten good deeds.
That's God telling you "I'm gonna make it easier for
you. If you did ten bad things don't think ya lost! You
can turn it around, you don't have to accept that."
And people think that you have to change the world.
You don't have to could the world. You could help an
old lady across the street. You could say a kind word
to somebody. It's that simple. I'm gettin' a lil
lost here.
AB: Do you think that America will ever have a substantial
number of American white Muslims?
E: Yeah, I would like to think so.And if Allah wills it,
who is gonna stop it? Me Divine and Abdullah were talking
the other day. They were saying how there are a lot of
Muslim countries in the world. That are in turmoil. And
if you put the fundamentals of Islam and put into effect,
you would call it a democracy. And a lot of the fundamentals
of the Bill of Rights are kind of Qu'ranic values when
broken down to their simplest form. But what better place
for Allah to prove Islam would work but in America? As far
as like being the last bastion of Satan. But Islam is just
rising up in this place.Look at me. A tattooed rockin', bold
supposedly wild white man. Islam jumped into me. And it's
tryin' to make me the best I can be. But I didn't choose
it. Do you understand what I'm saying?
AB: You don't know if you chose Islam or if Islam chose you.
E: Yeah.....

Freestyle takmicenja su trenutno i u Americi velika
retkost, iz jednog prostog razloga - hip hop u ovom
trenutku ima jako malo pulena koji imaju talenta za
freestyle (za razliku od '70/'80-tih godina kada
nisi mogao da se smatras MC-jem ako nisi sposoban
da uradis pristojan freestyle...).
Danas se odrzavaju uglavnom u manjim klubovima, koji
su uglavnom maximalno popunjeni. DJ pusta muziku
(instrumentale), nastupaju jedan MC za drugim...
u toku samog nastupa DJ im vise puta menja
instrumental, pa ko se snadje... (Mislim, takav
sistem si mogao da vidis i na nekim nasim
hip hop zurkama, ali u mnogo bednijem izdanju,
sa prilicno neinventivnim i banalnim rimama,
koje su, uz to jos i naucene napamet dva
meseca pred nastup... i onda to nazovu
freestyle...).
Pobednika uglavnom odredjuje atmosfera u publici
nakom nastupa svakog od takmicara...
Tako je bilo i na takmicenju izmedju Juice-a i
Supernaturala.
Osim ove dvojice (i jos nekoliko poznatih underground
freestylera) poznata imena kojima ovaj stil odlicno
ide su Canibus, Eminem, Naughty By Nature, The Roots,
KRS-One, dok su freestyle-ovi Wu-Tang-a uglavnom
zanimljivi samo njihovim zagrizenim fanovima...
Sto se tice samih legendi freestyle-a, to ne bih
mogao sada da ti odgovorim... morao bih da konsultujem
literaturu :), a trenutno nemam vremena za to.

Da, recimo na ovoj zadnjoj u Domu Omladine, kao opasan freestyle
imali su momci iz Full Moon-a, cak ih je i Sonja u Talasu pohvalila ;),
a ko je bio tamo mogao je da cuje nesto sto je licilo na sve, samo ne
na gore opisani 'ebeni freestyle...
I uzgred, ovi iz Full Moona su na ivici raspada, sto inace verovatno
tangira sve ljubitelje naseg rap-a. ;)

VESTI...
There are a couple of cuts that are hot off the press that everyone
should be peeping out.. The first is from one of Oakland's most
talented and to a large degree underrated groups Zion I..Group
members Amp Live, DJ K-Genius and Zion bring an East Coast/NY
style approach to their new song 'Critical' on Ground Control
records is to say the least...bangin'. It's one of my top songs
that I play during my Sunday Night Local Flava Show on 106 KMEL.
The beats are rugged and the lyrics are tight. From a deejay
standpoint, its a fun song to mix and cut up. The flip side track
'Venus' is also hittin'. On stage very few groups can match their
energetic performance. And they get major props for their
continous activism and positive approach toward Hip Hop. Zion I
has come a long ways since dropping their first single 'Inner
Light' about a year ago. They are soon scheduled to drop an
album.. We'll keep you posted.. If you happen to be in the Bay
Area you can peep Zion I performing this Friday November 19th
at Storyville Niteclub [Fulton st] in San Francisco. Also on the
bill will be The grouch who is best known for his work with The
Living Legends Crew.
The other track I'm really feeling belongs to Toronto's Choclair.
Entitled 'Let's Ride', this piano laden head boppin' track is
definitely hittin' and no doubt adds proof to the nationwide
buzz about Hip Hop's next big hot spot being North of the border
in Toronto, Canada. Over the past year or so the 'T-Dot O Dot',
has been representin' with a slew of emcees who have been holding
their own and making folks sit up and take note. Artist like
Saukrates, Kardinal Offishall along with Choclair have been
building on the inroads that were initially made in past years
by acts like Michee Mee who rolled with MC Lyte, Maestro Fresh
Wes and one of my favorites The Dream Warriors [Remember cuts
like 'Follow Me Not and Face In My Sink'?]. Although I have
never been there, everyone I keep running into have been telling
me Toronto has a burgeoning underground scene that will be well
worth the trip. So without a doubt during my next vacation
expect me in T-Dot. I'm just hoping the food is good and
Choclair can introduce me to the women in his video 'Lets Ride':).
BTW The b-side to Lets Ride is a slammin' cut called 'Bare
Witness' which features Guru of Gang Starr. If you happen to
be in Washington DC on Wednesday Nov 17th and in Boston on
Thursday Nov 18th or in Pittsburg, PA on Friday Nov 19th, be
sure to check for Choclair 'cause he'll be performing on the
Lyricist Lounge Tour. For more info drop Choclair a line at
mailto:day@choclair.net.
Some other underground hits worth peepin' include LA based
Mykill Miers who is a frequent guest on the Sway & King Tech
Wake Up Show. His new song 'The Illest' will have you feeling
good about Hip Hop and fiending for more. Insane Poetry drops
three dope songs including 'Let 'Em Know', 'Shroom Vision'
and 'Calico Flows' All these hard hittin' songs are featured
on the emerging Blackberry music label. Again I'm really
feeling this label..They're like a Rawkus of the West in
the sense that they appear to be letting their artists do
what they do best, put out good music that you won't
necessarily hear on radio.. but nevertheless will find
itself a home among today's b-boy and b-girl.
Speaking of Rawkus, they're on a roll of enormous proportions
as they've just released excellent lps by Mos Def and Pharoahe
Monche. They also dropped a nice album entitled 'Home Field
Advantage' from a group that I feel a lot of headz have been
overlooking..High & Mighty. These guys caused quite a stir
when they dropped the hit song B-Boy Document. After that
died down, you didn't hear too much about them in spite of
the fact their album was kinda nice.. Songs like 'Top
Prospects', 'The Last Hit' and 'Mighty Mi For Your Stereo'
were more then enough to make one take note. So if you haven't
peeped them out.. give them a second chance.. Also coming out
of the Rawkus/High & Mighty camp are the Smut Peddlers. Their
new songs 'First Name Smut' and 'For The Record' are worth
checkin' out.
Another song that's gonna kick up dust and cause some
controversy is the new one from Onyx's Sticky Fingaz entitled
'Jackin' For Beats'. This track is in the same vein as 50 Cent's
summer time hit 'How To Rob'. Here Sticky boldly talks about
how he's gonna snatch beats and rhyme styles from such notables
like Jay-Z, Ja Rule, Nas, Juvenile, Eve and even his own group
Onyx. Maybe its me, but the song seems gimmicky..We'll see if
it catches on..
The song that has got everyone talking at least in these parts
is the brand new joint off the upcoming 'Born Again' lp by The
Notorious BIG. Entitled 'Notorious' the song features Mr Puff
Daddy and Lil Kim and borrows from the classic 'modern rock'
song Notorious by Duran Duran. It was definitely a clever use
of the sample.. The song hits..
Straight from the South comes Big Pokey and his new joint
'Ball-N-Parlay'. It features artists like Lil Keke, Mr 3-2
and Big Moe. If you like that song by Lil Troy called 'I
Wanna Be A Baller' then you will definitely be feeling this
one. Although it features different artist, Big Pokey brings
the same feel and energy to this new cut. It has a floor
packin beat, nice singing hook and that down south gritty
flava. It's one of my favorite cuts at this time. The b side
track "Hardest Pit' was a pleasant surprise as it utilizes
the same beat from the Notorious BIG track 'Your Nobody
Till Somebody Kills You'.
On the album tip..I'm loving the new Dr Dre.. After a 4-5
year hiatus. I think he came back..and came back strong.
Tracks like 'What's The Difference' w/ Eminem and Xzibit,
'The next Episode' with Dre and Snoop, 'Big Egos' w/ Hittman
and ' Some LA Niggas which features King T, Kokane, Defari,
Xzibit, Knoc-Turnal and old NWA member MC Ren. From start
to finish, the lp hits..It will never be on the classic
level as The Chronic.. but this is a nice follow up.. I do
have to wonder about Dre's back and forth stance on things..
If you recall, when he first started his Aftermath Label
he released as his first single 'Been There Done That',
where he basically let it be known all that gangsta stuff
for him was finished. After listening to his album, it's
obvious that Dre 's not ready to abandon his old ways. In
fact he even admits to inventing the phrase 'gangsta rap'.
Dre's switch around reminds me of the time he boldly stated
on a song 'Express Yourself' about how he would never smoke
weed because it causes brain damage. Of course he later
went on to drop the song 'The Chronic' and the rest is
history. I wonder what made Dre decide he didn't wanna be
a space where he 'Had Been There Done That' ?
Ultimate Hip Hop Gems of the Week: This has got to be the
new Bob Marley album which features everyone from Chuck D
to Erykah Badu to MC Lyte to Busta Rhymes. All of these
artists have been incorporated into songs originally done
by Marley. Through the miracle of modern technology
everyone now raps and sings alongside him.. If there was
any reason to pick up this album, it's just to hear how
Hip Hop legend Rakim skillfully flows on the song 'Concrete
Jungle' with Marley. That alone was worth picking up the
album..
The other hidden jewel from the underground is the new cut
'Goldmine' from former Pharcyde member Fatlip. If he
continues on this pace..expect to hear a killer album when
it drops.. I wonder when Pharcyde themselves is gonna drop
a new joint. they should've taken advantage of being on
'The Real World' and had some material to promote. Oh well,
'c'est la vie.
Disappointments from the underground..has got to be Master P
and his new lp 'Only God can Judge me'. I'm a fan of Ps..and
while I don't expect him to be a lyrical genius, I did
expect to hear a few songs that would go on to be big hits
for him.. The only track I could pick out of 20+ tracks was
'Da Ballers featuring Master P and Jermaine Dupris. I'm not
sure if this lp was rushed or if P has been able to take
time out and really concentrate on his career as an artist.
It's also unclear about how the departure of his long time
producers 'Beats By The Pound' effected him and musical
decision making. Nevertheless its not hitting.

HIP HOP DONALD TRUMP...!?
With all this talk about the upcoming Presidential elections,
I thought I'd share with you a commentary that appeared the
other week in Lee Bailey's EUR Report http://eurweb.com. It
focuses around the blind support that many of us often give
people without really doing the proper research..As you know
Donald Trump who hangs out with all sorts of Hip Hoppers like
Puff daddy, Jay-Z and others is considering running for the
White House office. The Hip Hop's immediate embracing of The
Donald has raised some concerns. I was set to do an editorial
on this..but then Mark Riley dropped this in EUR.. I couldn't
have said it better.. Hit me back and let me know what you
think as I would like to post up some of the letters..
mailto:kingdave@sirius.com
GET REAL -- Mark Riley
Hip Hop Trump?
A couple of weeks ago, a young man called my radio show
and offered the notion that young Black and Latino men might
well be the swing vote that puts Donald Trump in the White
House. I scoffed at the idea at the time. Donald Trump? Why
would young people from my community back a developer who
has had a problematic relationship with it throughout his
public life? Why would young Blacks and Latinos take Trump
seriously when everybody knows he could never win......
Suddenly it dawned on me I was looking at Trump the
way a middle aged Black political commentator would. The
way the rest of the media does. Donald Trump is a flamboyant
playboy and not much else, the logic goes. Then (I swear
this happened after the call to me), the New Yorker runs
an item by Jane Mayer that essentially said the same thing
that young man told me over the phone. Trump's own
researchers say his strongest supporters are Blacks,
Latinos, and whites making less than $25,000 a year.
How can this be explained? The most logical reason comes
from David Bositis of the Joint Center for Political and
Economic Studies. Donald Trump spends a lot of his time
hanging out with rap stars and other Black celebrities.
He's tight with people like Muhammad Ali, Sammy Sosa,
Puffy Combs and Russell Simmons. These are just the kind
of people young Black men (and women) dream about
socializing with. Is this a valid reason to vote for
a candidate? History teaches us there are no invalid
reasons. Way back in 1960, women across America helped
elect John F. Kennedy President by a razor thin margin
over Richard Nixon. Was it his politics? His position
on issues? Maybe, a little. However, pollsters of the
day found out to their surprise that many American
women voted for JFK because of his good looks and not
much else.
Russell Simmons told the New Yorker Blacks love
Trump because he's embodies the way they'd live their
lives if they had money. Some Trump enthusiasts ought
to temper their support by remembering Trump supports
New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, whose been nothing
short of a horror show for Blacks in this city.
Supporting a politician because he hangs out with
rappers can certainly be done. People should vote for
whoever they choose. The problem is simply that it's
not smart politics to vote for anyone until you know
what they're ready to do for your community. In
Donald Trump's case, support should be earned by deed,
not photo-op.

CHUCK D'S REASON WHY RADIO SUCKS NOW MORE THEN EVER
"Radio - suckers never play me" is a line I'm known for
from one of my records, "Rebel Without A Pause," from 1987.
This lyric depicted Black radio's rap blackout at that time.
Actually, I was speaking for the whole genre of hip hop/rap,
which was then being stereotyped by many as this "jail music
outta New York."
Restricted Formats
In 1999, rap music has infiltrated the realm of pop radio
and this creates a problem for traditional Top 40 situations.
The more young white kids are exposed to black culture, the
more they'll seek the "more authentic stuff" The downside
is that white-owned Black radio has co-opted only those
elements of rap music digestible for listeners comfortable
with the R & B format, thus closing the door on the
diversity of the genre. These radioized versions have
created illusionary vault of financial reward that focuses
artists' attention on the green brick road of riches.
White-owned Black radio has masqueraded these versions as
being the rule of the game while other aspects of the
artform remain the exception.
Wack On-Air Personalities
White-owned Black Radio sucks in '99 because the masters
that endorse the policy of more music, less talk. This
policy further limits the information delivered to the
people via the creation of the transparent DJ --- Colorless
individuals unable to interpret the sounds they're playing
for their audience. Mix and college hip-hop jocks are the
closest thing we have today to the Black personality jocks
of the 1950s and '60s - DJs who the people relied on for
everything in the 'hood from local business support to
various community activities. But corporations consider
airtime that could be devoted to such services to be
sponsor time and not DJ time. That way it doesn't take
much talent to be a radio jock these days. (Who wants to
hear a damn weather report 30 times a damn day?!)
No Sense of History
The selection of music is so limited on these stations
that instead of supporting the legacy of past Black music
and how it sows a path to today's sound, a station would
rather play the current, paid-for-music until its support
funds run out. White-owned Black radio is the major cause
in keeping the Black community behind and dumb. Isn't it
strange that while more and more folks are into rap music
more than ever, there's just as many people clueless of
its origin, legacy, individual contributions, etc.? Why,
then, should we wonder when current styles tend to
evaporate into the air like steam? Don't get me wrong;
today's music is great. It's just that the jocks and the
stations are WACK!

Ovo je tekst pesme o kojoj sam pricao u nekoj od ranijih
diskusija... Namerno ga kacim ovako, a ne u arhivi.
Artist: The Roots f/ Raphael Saadiq
Album: Illadelph Halflife
Song: What They Do
Chorus: (Saadiq)
Never do....what they do, what they do, what they do...
Never do....what they do, what they do, what they do...
Verse One:
Yo, lost generation, fast pace nation
World population confront their frustration
The principles of true hip-hop have been forsaken
It's all contractual, and about money making
Pretend-to-be cats don't seem to know their limitations
Exact replication and false representation
You wanna be a man, then stand your own
To MC requires skills, I demand some shown
I let the frauds keep frontin
And roam like a celluar phone far from home
Giving crowds what they wanted
Offical hip-hop consumption, the 5th dumpin
Keepin ya party jumpin wit an original somethin
Yo, I dedicate this to the one dimension-al
No imagination, excuse for perpetration
My man came over and said
"Yo we thought we heard you"
Joke's for you
We heard your bitin ass crew but uh
Chorus: Raphael Saadiq
Never do, what they do when they do what they do
(repeat 2X)
Verse Two: Black Thought
Thin is the line of between love and hatred
The game is ill-natured, it's nothing sacred
Hey yo, it's funny when i see some rap niggaz do the making
Of you would blow up or go as far as they can take it
My nine to five is just to hit ya get the party live
I'm Black Thought, used to rap for sport
Now the rhymes need life support
I take it very seriously within this industry
It's various crews that try to touch me
But I come wit the beautiful thing
And I bless the track plushly
Around the world the crowds love me from doing tours
Recepient of applause from you and yours
Creator of original sounds to send to stores you take home
To absorb and sweat it out your pores
Now who can stop the music runnin through these veins
Infinitely go against the grain
That's why my motto's to
Chorus
Verse Three:
Livin the life of limos and lights
Airplanes and trains
Short days and long nights
Keyboards and mics
Bass chords and drum kicks
And my mental thick to hit my head like brick
As I embark on a mission welcoming to the dark
When I first spark the arts, when's the listening start
Open your head wide and let the thought inside
My style fortified by all of philladel-phy
I've dealt more stealth than all the wicked weal-thy
Mentality undetectable by the naked eye
Then I get paid when the record is played
To put it short I want it Made like Ed, nuff said
Then after that, I'm puttin on the ___
Let the ladies blend with the darkskin devil bred and discover
My level is that of no other
And Roots crew bring offical and true
While I'm continuin to...

ROSA PARKS IZGUBILA PARNICU...
Good news for Outkast as a Detroit Federal judge ruled yesterday
that Civil Rights pioneer Rosa Parks did not have her rights
violated when Outkast used her name as the title of a song. The
judge stated that Outkast was protected by the First Amendment
and they are not obligated to compensate her. So that about
takes care of this little contentious 25 thousand dollar lawsuit
that was filed by Ms Parks and her lawyers. The real key to this
whole thing was that Outkast did not slander Ms Parks in anyway
shape or form. The sad part about this is that for many young
people who are only familiar with Parks through history books
which are all too often limited, she is not seen in such high
regards. For many the lawsuit came across as petty and just
further showed how divided the Hip Hop generation is from it's
Civil Rights era predecessors. The judges ruling comes at a day
after a study from the Burrell Communications group in Chicago
was released that showed that Black teens are swayed by Hip Hop
celebrities more then any one else. How we in Black America
allowed Ice Cube and Snoop Dogg to become bigger heroes then
Jessie Jackson and other Civil Right leaders is a discussion
on to itself.. The larger question is who is the one controlling
the presentation, defining and imaging of these Hip Hop heroes
and celebrities? If you are a parent I suggest asking your child
who their heroes and sheroes are.. If you ain't in the top 5..
You might want to really find out why...

DJ PAM THE FUNKSTRESS
Last week we told you about how Boots of the Coup has been making
major moves by creating workshops and organizing Hip Hop artists
and getting them politically active. We'll his partner in crime
DJ Pam The Funkstress has been making moves herself. In addition
to holding down club gigs and a spot on KPFA's Friday Nite Vibe
Hip Hop Show, home girl has been socking away her money and has
finally opened up her own business. Pam is now the proud owner
of Picadilly Catering which is located in Foster City which is
right outside San Francisco. On Sundays she has a slamming all
you can eat Cajun Brunch which is off the hook. The person who
throwing down on the stoves is Pam herself.
Now most of us who know Pam, know her for her superb djaying
skillz. She's been on the scene for years and there's been many
a 'fool' who've gotten eaten up alive in battles with her. She
has all the tricks mastered but her patented maneuver is cutting
records with her breasts.. [No folks she doesn't take off her
blouse]. People knew that when Pam wasn't on the road with The
Coup that she would spend her time working for a catering
company. No one had any idea she had intended to buy out the
business and it caught all of us by surprise to find out she
could throw down on the stove top like she can on the turntables.
After all, Pam hardly showcased her cooking skillz on the road.
In any case, Pam explained that she spent time working in the
catering business so she could learn the ins and outs of the
professional. At the same time she was also spending time
learning how to run a restaurant and take care of a business.
She kept her plans on the 'DL' and when the time was right,
she went out and brought the very company she was working for.
Pam gets mad props. Its always good to see Hip Hop artist
make wise investments like opening businesses as opposed
to buying new diamonds or luxury cars. It's also good to
see Hip Hop artists take time to really learn about the
things they are investing in. So its not like Pam is just
throwing money into a business or putting her name on the
doorway. She owns, operates and runs the joint. She really
understands what's this whole venture is about. .

NOVA PESMA ZA NWA!
A few weeks back we profiled Ice Cube and let you know that
he was on a mission to reunite NWA his original group. Such
a reunion had not taken place earlier because producer Dr Dre
was in a 'Been There Done That' move and hence wasn't trying
to get down with the project. Recently Dre changed his mind
which is evident by the content in his new album 'Dr Dre 2001'.
Now Dre has taken things a step further by publicly announcing
that there will be a new NWA track on the upcoming soundtrack
to the movie 'Next Friday'. The song is called 'Chin Check'.
From what I'm hearing its the absolute bomb. There is still
no word as to who will take the place of Eazy E. The popular
rumors keep pointing to Snoop Dogg. But now stories are
surfacing that it may be Xzibit or a number of rotating guest
emcees. Who do you think should be the fifth member of NWA
should they reunite?

EMINEM NEWS...
Bad news for rap superstar Slim Shady aka Eminem. He recently
caught some major flack from NFL officials who saw fit to pull
some popular TV ads which featured his popular song 'My Name
Is..'. The NFL used the track in a commercial entitled 'My Name
Is Joe' which was intended to highlight the football careers
of football greats Joe Montana, Joe Gibbs, Joe Namath and Mean
Joe Green. The problem was the NFL found his lyrics to the
original song to be lacking wholesome family values so they
pulled it. This was done in spite of the fact no one ever
complained about the spots and the song was a big hit. The
fact that the NFL got 'Holy' on Eminem is puzzling when you
consider the nature of the sport and some of troubling antics
put forth by both players, coaches and fans. It's like the pot
calling the kettle black. Em is currently on tour in Europe.
In the meantime his lawyers headed to court the other day to
try and quell another problem Em was facing which was a
lawsuit from his moms Debbie Mathers-Briggs who felt like he
defamed her character in several interviews as well as songs.
Do you think Eminem could be the 5th member of NWA? Think
about it for a second..Don't you think that could work? Em
and Eazy E had similar tones in voice..? Em won't need
anyone to write his rhymes like they had to do for Eazy.
Em being in the group could set off controversy and bring
notoriety to the group. He's a sick writer. Can you imagine
Em collaborating with Cube and Ren and helping pen a
graphic NWA song? i think it could work.. Snoop, Xzibit
or Eminem..who would you pick?

SNOOP'S MOVES
Folks are buzzing about Snoop Dogg and him making some
new moves in the upcoming year. One such move involves him
hooking up with TVT records to distribute his new label
Dogghouse records. Snoop has hooked up with his crew Tha
Eastsidaz which features is child hood friend Tray D and
Goldie Loc. The first single which I got today is called
'G'd Up' and is produced by longtime producer, the
legendary Battlecat. The track has a definite West Coast
[LA] feel that will definitely get heads boppin'. The
album which is called Snoop Dogg Presents Tha Eastsidaz
is due to drop in stores on January 18th..It will feature
such notables like Daz, Kurupt, Xzibit, Quik, Nate Dogg
and Suga Free. Where's Master P? Mystikal and the rest
of the No Limit Posse on this album? If the first single
is any indication.. Snoop should have a dope album on his
hands.. Reach out to my man Ron for more information

WILLIE D [GETO BOYS] - BOXER...
The word around town is that Willie D of the Geto Boys is
gearing up to both set the boxing world straight when he
climbs into the ring on December 18th and squares off
against former Light Heavyweight and Middleweight champ
Reggie Johnson. It will be Willie's professional boxing
debut and it will take place in Houston. [Boy I tell ya
everyone who's a rapper wants to be an athlete and
everyone who's an athlete wants to rap.. ] In Willie's
case, he's no slouch in the ring. He won a celebrity
boxing match among rappers a few years back. He had the
dubious distinction of knocking out a very buff Mele-Mel.
I'm not sure who he faced in the championship round. It
might've been Freddie Fox. In any case.. i tried calling
Willie to get the full 4-1-1. I'll let you know his
thoughts. Willie for those who don't know is not only
gifted in the ring and on the mic, but he's also sharp
and politically conscious. He used to do a talk show on
one of the stations in Houston. I'm not quite sure what
happened to it. Perhaps some one from the Houston area
can fill me in. I know he was always sparking off heated
debates and dropping science.
Since we're on the subject of boxing, folks may want to
note that James Prince who is the founder and CEO of
Willie D's label Rap-A-Lot Records has just signed Super
Featherweight Champ Floyd Mayweather Jr and two time
World Champ Michael Nunn to a management contract for
Prince's newly formed Prince Promotions. Looks like
Willie D will have some sparring partners close to home.

Verse One: Method Man
Slowly I turn, step by step
Through the back window, I crept
Silent as a mouse on the set
While everybody in the house slept
I disconnect the phones and the rest
Find a butcher knife, cut the power lines to the lights
Now a nigga wild for the night
I come like the livin dead, straight from the dirt
Back to avenge his own death on this earth
Ever hear of Jason? Then you know my work
Down to the basement, the dog get it first
I can't help myself, my thoughts ain't my own
The voices in my head just won't leave me alone
Murda murda murda, kill kill kill
Pissin on the car seats, flattenin the wheels
So there's no escape from the fate that awaits
No one to witness the horror takin place
Yea! Now I'm on my way up the stairs
To the bedroom of my prey unaware
Heads will be hung from the chimney with care
with hopes that the police soon will be here
I'm a KILLER!

ODB SE NA SUDU OSECA KAO KOD SVOJE KUCE...
Wu-Tang's colorful and controversial member Ol Dirty Bastard aka
Baby Jesus aka Mr Russell Jones had his day in a Los Angeles court
this past Friday. He was convicted and sentenced for threatening a
security guard at the House of Blues nightclub and he was convicted
and sentenced under a new California law which bars felons from
wearing body armor [bullet proof vests]. Judge Marsha Revel
sentenced ODB to 3 years probation, fined him 500 dollars, required
him to take anger management classes and commit to a year in drug
rehab. ODB's body armor conviction is one of the first cases tried
under the new California law.
Most people who are aware of ODB's zany behavior would not argue
against him being in drug rehab. It hopefully could do homeboy
some good. However, it was during the sentencing was when some
colorful court room drama emerged. ODB explained to the judge
that the police in New York City are conspiring to get him. He
said because of his reputation, and the fact that he managed
to be cleared of charges that accused him of shooting at two
NYC police, he feared that the cops would go out of their way
to harass him and plant false evidence on him.
ODB made the following remarks, "After I finish the [rehab]
program, I live in New York...What I'm saying is, I got a suit
on the city. All the officers know me there. They're going to
be looking to lock me up. I don't want no officers to be just
kicking on me...I'm talking about getting picked on."
Judge Revel suggested that ODB move to a more conducive
environment after he gets released from the drug rehab in
California. ODB responded by noting that all his kids live
in New York. For those who don't know, the man has 13 kids.
ODB then told the judge 'Jesus Loves You'. Revel responded
by saying 'Thank you I need all the love I can get'.
ODB who has been arrested a total of 12 times over the past
year and half was told he can have the felony terrorist
threat reduced to a misdemeanor if he behaves himself for
the next 18 months.

WILL SMITH ZA PREDSEDNIKA?!
Folks have been buzzing about actor/rapper Will Smith and
his recent remarks in which he stated that he wants to
run for the presidency within the next ten years. He noted,
'I've always thought I'd like to become America's first
Black President. Now I'm not here to knock Will's political
ambitions. If he's serious I applaud them wholeheartedly.
What will be interesting is how he goes about using his
popularity to impact various key elections around the
country. In other words who will Will Smith endorse?
There's a major senate race going down in New York. Will
Mr Smith go out and encourage his legion of fans to
support First Lady Hillary Clinton over current New York
Mayor Rudoulph Giuliani. Right now the First Lady's
campaign is in trouble as she is losing in polls to the
popular yet controversial NY Mayor. At the same time Will
Smith has been invited to hang out with the Clintons at
the White House during the upcoming Millennium celebration.
Could Will Smith political recommendation coupled with his
star power sway public opinion? Perhaps he could come up
with a catchy song?
It sure would be nice to see some of our more mega-popular
stars come out and take some political stances. Back in the
'70s famous icons like boxer Muhammed Ali, Joe Frazier,
singer James Brown and actor Harry Belafonte to name a few
got their feet wet and shared their political outlooks and
endorsements with their fans. As we head on into the year
2000 it's sad to note that some of our brightest stars
have been extremely reserved and very quiet about key
political issues. I'm definitely happy that more and more
underground artists like Boots of the Coup, Common, Mos Def,
Dead Prez to name a few are actively involved in politics.
Their continued efforts should be encouraged and supported.
I'm still waiting and hoping that the Jay-Zs, Puffys, Ice
Cubes and Juveniles of the world will start using their star
power to bring attention to some critical issues. For
example, I hear all sorts of folks in New York complaining
about their current Mayor..yet I see very few major stars
actively blowing up the spot to sway public opinion about him.
Should Will Smith run for President? That really depends upon
his qualifications and knowledge of the issues. In the
meantime while he gets prepared for his presidential bid
in the next ten years, I wish Mr Smith would make headlines
by encouraging his fans to at least get out to the polls and
vote. He could make headlines by weighing in on some key
issues like affirmative action, immigration etc. Since Mr
Smith lives in California, I think I'll shoot him a line
and try and get him to lend his star power and come out
against Prop 21 which is the Juvenile Crime Initiative.
I rather see him make national headlines speaking out against
that rather then his desire for Presidency. If Will Smith
doesn't step up and speak out on some of these pressing issues
of the day then I would have to conclude that his remarks about
wanting to be President was nothing more then a shrewd marketing
ploy and publicity stunt designed to bring attention to his
newly release album 'The Willennium'.

One of the hottest artists for the year 1999 has been Juvenile.

Juvenile believes in striking while the iron is still hot as he
getting set to drop his third album 'Tha G-Code'. It will be
released on December 7th.. That's same release date as the
highly anticipated Notorious BIG album. I wonder who will sell
more? Juvenile's first single 'U Understand' is 'off the hinges'
at least here in the Bay Area. Finally be on the look out for
Juvenile's upcoming straight to video movie 'Baller Blockin'.

GANG STARR I RATM...
Props to Gang Starr and Dilated Peoples for their recent
performance with Rage Against The Machine. Friday night Dilated
opened for Rage at a sold out Oakland Coliseum. According to
Beni B of the Bay Area Hip Hop Coalition. It took some time
for the group to get used to going from small night club with
a couple of hundred people to a cavernous venue with 15
thousand people.. However,the Rage crowd showed both groups
much love.
During Gang Starr's set DJ Premier had to watch flying debris
including a shoe that was tossed at his turntables. When I first
heard about it I was left with the impression that people didn't
like Premier's scratching abilities or music selection. . Quite
the contrary, people loved him.. Shoes and other clothing were
being tossed after they were taking off of individuals who were
being body surfed through the crowd. It was just mere coincident
that Premier got shoes tossed at him during both the Oakland
and Sacramento shows. Well at least it wasn't a smelly sock..
or a pair of stained drawers.
As for Gang Starr, after the Rage Against Machine Tour, they
will be heading back into the studio to work on another album
which should drop by June of 2000. Premier and Quest Love of
the Roots are scheduled to do production. The new 'Jazzmatazz
Volume 3' album should be dropping real soon. Herbie Hancock
and D'Angelo are among the many guests expected to appear on
the album.

Dave in regards to Willie D
I worked at KBXX and at numerous times I would be answering the
phones for his show, which was titled "Reality Check", the show
focused on the people of Houston, stating their feelings on major
issues going on in this society. The show did leave the airwaves.
I don't know the full reason, but some politic issue was brought
up, and later on Willie D did continue his show on another public
station. He was supposed to be syndicating his show, nationwide
in many areas, to get the feeling for all the people not only in
Texas, but other states as well. Willie D, as a person is very
talented, gifted, and aware of his surrounding, much respect to

[the Roots Show in SF]
Davey D
First of all let me start by saying I am not big on words. But
at last nights show (Friday) the Roots put me back in love with
H.E.R. [Hip Hop] I've been following these cats since "Do You
Want More" and recently rounded out my collection with the
obscure album that started it off "Organix". The truth is
with all that is going wrong with hip-hop (lack of creativity
and pursuit of almighty $ice$) this soon to be father was
thinking it's time to hang it up and grow into a nice
comfortable smooth jazz station. These mutha&^* made me feel
like a kid again. ?uestLove showed superior skillz on the
drum kit and all in all I had a ball. So now I'm thinking
that I will definitely get my 'seed' [child] to pickup a
musical instrument. It definitely bridged the gap as I read
the liner from the album "Things Fall Apart" and found MFSB
kicking licks with none other than 'Illadelphia's' finest.
Local rap group 75 Degrees was in the house and I think
they are on the right track.
What impressed me most is that we have brothas who travel
the world (and obviously getting paid) not having to come
on stage with a fuckin' platinum plaque around their neck.
They just put it down and let the music speak for itself
(imagine that). Anyhow, just thought I'd say something for
those of us that do remember when creativity was all that
hip hop had for itself. Now I'm going to find that Limp
Bizkit CD before the wife sells all my collection.

[Who should be the 5th member of NWA?]
Davey D
I had always thought DJ Quik would have made a good
replacement for Eazy, with the comparable voice range,
but with a much better flow, and comin' straight outta
Compton. I think Eminem might just be a seriously right
move, though - and might give a crazy new spin on the
group. Good idea - you should use your position to
spread that vibe around in the industry as it's possible
that no one has pondered that possibility yet. Snoop - no;
Xzibit, possibly, but the group could really use some new
blood in there with a unique flow. I don't think that any
of the usual suspects" (i.e., Mack 10; Snoop; WC; etc.
should even be considered - it needs to be someone who
could step-up the anticipation and excitement levels.
Rass Kass might just be the shit, or even a hot-ass "no
name" kid would be risky, but could just be another good
career move if he blew up like Snoop did on Chronic. In
any case, I can't wait - I've waited years for this shit
to go down, and I hope that it finally comes to fruition.
Peace - Todd

Dear Davey D,
I just heard the new NWA "untitled" reunion track on Power
98 FM (WPEG-Charlotte) and it was mediocre for the most
part. The song sounded more of a modern-Ice Cube/Dre sound
instead of the classic NWA sound but that's understandable
since times and the artists have changed so much. Oh, Snoop
Dogg is replacing Eazy-E (at least on this song) and he
does his usual antics.
Kam Moye
-----
Do you think Eminem could be the 5th member of NWA?
What comes around goes around I figure / Now we got white
kids called Niggers... Anyway if there is a NWA reunion
(which IMO is not a good idea : they are legendary and
probably can't do better than their past work) they
should not replace Easy E. He wasn't the main man in the
group (even if he was the executive producer). Half of their
songs did not include Easy. With MC Ren's delivery, Ice
Cube's lyrics and Dr Dre's voice you already have a strong
group (If Dre is on the board of course). I always considered
Easy was a joker in NWA, just like Flavor Flav. But I doubt
that they can get together again as a real group ten years
after they broke up. OK they can make one track under the
name NWA but they are not friends anymore, they probably
don't want to stay together in a studio for weeks, to go
on tour together for months. After all that has been said and
done between them !!!
Niggers With Attitude are part of our History.
Slurg
-----
This could never work. While I rate Eminem as a lyricist
much more than any of the NWA members, there are a few things
which mean this just could never happen....
Eminem is not 'Straight outta compton', or even from LA for
that matter.
Eminem is white. How could he still get respect calling
himself a NIGGA WIT ATTITUDE?
Oh yeah, one more thing, its BIG BANK HANK from the Sugerhill
isn't it? not BIG BAD HANK. I used to be sure it was Bank,
but someone of your stature differing has me reconsidering...
take it easy, and keep up the good work with the site,

Dave,
I think the perfect replacement for Eazy-E could be Cold187um
aka Big Hutch from Above the Law. Cold187um was Eazy's right
hand man and took over much production when Dr. Dre left the
group. Other possible replacements could be MC Eiht, DJ Quik,
or even Mack 10. I don't think Eminem would be a good replacement
for Eazy because the name of the group is Niggaz With Attitudes,
and Eminem in not a "nigga". Furthermore he is not the gangsta
rap type.
Castro
Davey D Responds:
I've gotten quite a few letters with people emphatically
pointing out that Eminem could not be in NWA because 'HE IS
NOT A NIGGA'?. That's an interesting reaction when one
considers all the Non-African Americans who have used this
term and defended such usage with a variety of flim flam
excuses. I've constantly argued that the word Nigga is
offensive especially when used by non-African Americans.
Now there are many of you who have maintained that this
word has somehow dropped all it's negative associations
and has become a 'term of endearment'. Others maintain its
a Hip Hop expression that is now 'universal' or multi-ethnic.
Many have claimed that it means 'ignorant person' and some
have gone so far as to flip the letters and make the word
stand for some fancy sounding stuff.. 2Pac did this a long
time ago when he claimed Nigga meant 'Never Ignorant...blah
blah blah..' Others have pointed out that the spelling of
the word N-I-G-G-A-H takes on a different meaning as opposed
to when it's spelled -N-I-G-G-E-R.. So over the years I've
endured all sorts of white kids greeting each other with
the term 'What's Up my Nigga?'. I've seen others get upset
when asked not to use it.' I've seen folks from other
countries adapt this terminology with no real understanding
and appreciation for its historical context. It would be on
par to me adapting the swastika and claiming its no longer
offensive and that it's symbol is now benign. Folks who
dealt with the Nazis would have a fit and never let it go
down.
The real problem with this word Nigga being used is that
the majority of people still see this word as one that
describes an individual of African descent. Far too often
the negative and stereotypical beliefs associated with
Blacks and this word are also conjured up. Bottom line
is there ain't too many of y'all saying 'What's up Nigga'?
and envisioning in your mind anyone else but a dark
skinned brotha.. It doesn't matter if you live 10 thousand
miles away in some place where there are no Black people..
or if you live in a place full of brothas like Washington
DC. The word still conjures up that image of Black folks.
In all seriousness, I tossed out the idea of Em being a
member of NWA and all of a sudden I'm getting deluged
with letters from Non-African Americans who insist on
using this term claiming its Hip Hop terminology, now
taking the position that Em can't be a 'Nigga' because
he's white. Why not? Isn't this word universal? If white
kids call themselves Nigga can't be Em be a full fledged
member of a group sporting that name?
A whole bunch of Black folks have written and taken offense
to Em being called that. Now that's hypocritical. All of
a sudden Black folks who have gone out of their way to
carelessly use the word in public environments are now
stepping up and claiming this word as one that exclusively
describes and belongs to them. Is this right after so
many Black folks have given license to those outside the
community to use the word?
NWA claimed that they were 'Niggaz For Life'. That meant
they were in it for the long haul. They would endure the
good times and bad times. They would take on the good,
the bad and the ugly. Far too often people wanna be
'niggas' when its hip and cool and it's the fashion
statement of the month. But soon as they leave the
confines of the Hip Hop arena.. these same folks aren't
down to have that name stick with them forever. They
don't want their boss calling them that. They don't want
a police officer calling them that. They don't want the
societal oppression and disrespect that often comes
with that word impacting them..
Oh well I guess I got ahead of myself when I thought
that people really believed they were 'niggas' when they
kept using that word. I guess they were 'fairweather
niggas'. Here today while the going is good.. gone
tomorrow when the kitchen gets hot. They were 'niggas
of convience'. Brothas and sistas who continuously use
this word, you can't conveniently claim this word and
take offense if some white or non-Black kid ever
decides to form a group where he uses this word in a
name. Yes Eminem can be a NIGGA WITH ATTITUDE'.. Why?
Cause may of brothas and sistas thought it was ok to
stand in silence or even encourage Non-Blacks to use
that word. Many of you said being a Nigga ain't a black
thang anymore. So don't hate if a white boy with sick
rhymes winds up being a Nigga With Attitude. Am I off
base to follow the rules that so many have ignorantly
insisted on laying out?

KOOL KEITH IS MAD AS HELL AND AIN'T GONNA TAKE IT NO MORE!
One of Hip Hop's most colorful characters and gifted emcees
Kool Keith formerly of Ultramagnetic MCs has decided to
harness the power of the Internet. He recently dropped an
album called 'Black Elvis/Lost In Space' and felt that it
simply hasn't been getting the proper promotion. This is
especially daunting when you consider that Keith is signed
to Ruffhouse/Sony one of the most powerful record labels in
the world. Hence Keith has taken to emailing fans from all
around the world asking that they 'step to' his record label
and demand they pick up the pace and make Kool Keith a
household name... Here's a copy of the letter I received
the other day...
Dear Fans,
This is Kool Keith. This is my first time writing you all
personally, because this is a serious issue. I love all my
fans, but I am a little bit angry with my record company.
Aren't you mad? I am on a big label, but I am getting no
promotion.
The label fucked up a lot of stuff that you kids want to
have access to. The video should be on TV for you kids to
see. The video was done before my tour. You can call and
email the following people to ask them what's going on.
My project is available, but I know it's hard for you not
to get any of the material, and latest updates.
You should really e-mail these people constantly, to give
you the information that you need about the Black Elvis CD.
Visually, radio time, show updates, and next singles and
albums. You can email these people 24 hours a day, and you
will get a response. Write in your complaints about the
album not being seen in your local stores, or wherever
you can't find Kool Keith product.
Email these people and tell them why you're angry that you
haven't seen my new video. Email these people 24 hours a
day nonstop, you will get a response. Ask for wigs, product,
posters, videos, radio,and etc. And that's it.
Here is who you can ask what:
Why is Kool Keith getting no Promotion?
Why is Columbia Records not supporting Kool Keith?
Why is nothing getting done?

DJ QUIK I RATM...
Looks like Urban Hip Hop fans will soon have an opportunity
to peep out Rage Against The Machine just like they did
Limp Bizkit. Apparently DJ Quik has been enlisted to do a
remix of one of their songs... 'Guerilla Radio'. I'm not
sure if Quik will rap on the song, but we'll have to wait
and see how he does on the remix. While this is going on
somewhere down in the 'Dirty South', Outkast is set to do
a remix for the rock/rap group Korn. With all this cross
genre collaborations going on, I have to ask do you think
it's balanced? Is it a fair exchange in the sense that
both groups are getting equal exposure to the others
respective audiences? I recall talking to Boots of The
Coup and he pointed out that there are many so called
alternative rock stations that to this day will not touch
rap unless its The Beastie Boys or Eminem. Some of them
hardly played the Limp Bizkit song featuring Method Man
while many urban stations did? On the same token I noted
that a whole lot of folks fronted on that recent Ice Cube
record entitled 'Fuck Dying' featuring Korn. When I touched
on this subject a few weeks ago many readers wrote back and
pointed out that the cut 'N2gether Now' by Limp Bizkit
while ok, was by no stretch of the imagination among their
best songs. That sparked the question in my mind as to
whether or not such collaborations are diluting the sounds
of both artists.? Hit me back on this one. Has radio and
video shows been friendly and fair and presenting these
rap/rock collaborations? Have the various audiences and
fans been receptive? Are their respective sounds being
diluted? mailto:kingdave@sirius.com

HIP HOP PROMOTER PRELAZI U POLITICARE...
Big props are in order to Ms Andretta 'Ann' Lyles. Now
many of you outside the Bay Area may not know her, but
here around town, many of us deejays know her for her
work on the Hip Hop scene as a local record promoter.
I recall her putting in work at Sony Music where she
not only hooked us up with records but also put together
events like listening parties for Lauryn Hill and
others. More recently she was the one who laced us with
all the new material from the whole Quantumm MCs camp
[formerly known as Solesides featuring Blackalicious,
Latyrx, DJ Shadow etc]. In any case this recent Stanford
Grad is stepping into the political ring and launching
her campaign for a seat on Oakland's school board. I
know her work and activities at Stanford make her more
then qualified and she'll do good if elected. I'm just
happy to see one of our own from the Hip Hop arena
stepping up and making that move into public office.
She'll at least have the sensitivity and understanding
of the kids the school board should ideally be trying
to reach. At the very least we know she has the
marketing and promotion skillz and savvy to get people
motivated. I know I always played her records..:) We
wish her much luck. It's interesting to note that
Tavis Smiley with BET did a show on politics and how
to reach The Hip Hop generation..With all the Hip Hop
activism going on out here it sure would've been nice
to see some representation from this side of the
country on the show. Ms Lyles is one of the first, but
there are a few more folks within the Hip Hop arena
that are preparing and setting their sights on some of
these political offices here in the Bay. Keep watching.

LIL KIM GETS NASTY...
Lil Kim is blowing up the spot and she hasn't even dropped
a new record yet. Her album 'The Notorious Kim' has been
pushed back to March of 2000. In the meantime she has
managed to grace the covers of The Source magazine in
their special 'Sex and Hip Hop' issue. She is also set
to be featured in an upcoming gay magazine called 'Out'.
Here Kim will speaking on the topic of Gays in Hip Hop'.
Kim was recently featured another magazine [the name
escapes me] where she stripped down and tattooed with
Louis Vutton logos. All this is coming at the heels of
Lil Kim garnering national attention and controversy
during the MTV video awards show when Diana Ross took
advantage of Lil Kim's provocative see through outfit
by fondling her breasts. If that's not enough Lil Kim
is also letting her objections be known about the
upcoming Notorious BIG album that is slated to drop on
December 7th. She feels that Puffy shouldn't have released
the project because it doesn't reflect the level that
BIG was on before he was killed. In addition she feels
that there are way too many guest emcees on the track.
We'll have to wait an see when the lp drops. At least
Lil Kim sounds good on the new single by BIG entitled
'Notorious'.

SPICE ONE: Crazy, Deadly, Cool
By: Adisa, "The Bishop"
Those who cannot go beyond death,
can never truly come to life
- The Buddha
When most people think of mention O.G.'s, and innovators
of the West coast rap scene, the name Spice One is not
often the first to come to mind. But review the history
of the west side and you will find his name over and
over again. At the same time, It's kind of easy to forget
about Spice One. You don't see him hustling somebody's
hats or shoes or soda pop. He does not moonlight as an
actor, or a social activist. He's a rapper - straight up.
And he's diligent about sticking to his script. This, is
precisely why he'll silently go gold and platinum, with
little fan fare. Spice has a strange kind of fame.
Possessing the record sales and money of a true innovator
and O.G., but lacking the immediate notoriety of other
rap artists who don't have not sold half as many records.
Still he is a true artist, a rare breed in a time of one
hitter quitters and synthetic MC's. "I don't even want
people to call my music rap and I don't want people to
call my music Hip Hop. I want them to call it thug
poetry" he tells me."My lyrics are straight poetry".
His latest release, "Immortalized", is destined to be a
west coast classic. "I called the album 'Immortalized'
because I feel like Pac and Biggie and Eazy they are all
immortalized. They'll be around forever, you know? And
I feel my albums, and what I've done in the past are
gonna keep me out there in the streets and in the hood
and in the clubs and on the radio. Not sayin' that I'ma
die soon or anything, but just talking about the power
of music. What does immortal mean? It means forever.
Thuggin' is forever." Here we go, that THUG thing again.
Everybody has been claimin' to be a thug as of late. But
under the marketing ploys, is a true blue ghetto culture
dominated by thugs. Eazy was the Hip Hop Thuggster, Pac
lived the "Thug Life". Both died young, quick, passionate
lives. Why carry the "thug torch" when the end result
is so crystal clear?
"When you really a thugged out nigga, man, it's hard
for you to get away from that lifestyle whether you
rappin' or not" he says sharply. "Their lives was gonna
be short whether they was rappin' or not. The thing is,
if I'm crossed- I WILL ride. That's just a mentality that
I grew up with. Some of these niggas out here ain't even
knocked a nigga out before. Ain't never shot a gun. Ain't
never GOT knocked out. Ain't never did nothin'. And they
rappin' all of this hard ass shit. I can ride around
block that I started. And I done knocked niggas out cold.
I done been jumped before and shot at and all of that.
Knock on wood that I'm still around. But when it went
down, I wasn't just a talker". You can clearly see that
whether it was a personal brush with death, or maturity
kicking in - Spice has transcended the mortality. This
makes him a more passionate artist within', and thug
without. He's seems almost proud of some of his dastardly
deeds (as he highlights all of his felonies, misdemeanors
etc. in a segway on the album). Most involve firearms
violations in various states.
He's a platinum MC, period. And while being gold or
platinum is not necessarily a proof talent - Spice has
it. Immortalized is a true west coast record. A little
bit of violence, a little bit of the drug game and some
cold hearted violence. All set to music you can smoke to,
fight to or dance to. "I don't want every body to think
'Oh this is the same Spice One' blah, blah, blah. It's
not the same Spice. It's totally different. "
Indeed it is quite different. Production credits range
wide from DJ's like KMEL's Dave Meyer to Rick Rock, R&B
Producer Kirk Crumpler and also features one of the last
recordings of the immortal Roger Troutman. His new album,
showcases a maturity and creativity not seen on his
previous releases. He ventures into unknown territory on
a few songs like the title track by sprinkling western
acoustic guitars over the drums. The sonic clarity of
"High Powered" makes you forget that he's jacking a beat
from Scooby Doo. He even did steamy lil sex song "Can I
Hit it Tonight" for the freaks in the industry. But make
no mistake. This album was made for the west side
enthusiast. So murder, mayhem and fist fights permeate
"Immortalized" from the first track to the last. On
"Make 'Em Bleed" he promises "You tell 'em Bossalini
calls the shots/ I'm still lookin' for the bitch ass
niggas who murdered my homie Pac".
This album also has unthinkable cameos. The first song
on the album, has Spice unloading clips at point blank
range teamed up with N.O.R.E on "What the Fuck". Another
track "Thug Poetry" is a down tempo track with Saafir.
The contrast of their voices as well as their rhyme
patterns are a pleasant surprise. And Spice is clear on
who he does collaborations with and WHY he does them.
"I don't have to have twenty to thirty muthafuckas on
my album, that sold a million copies for me to sell
a million copies. That's showing weakness to me. I
feel that if you claim you a rapper and all of that
shit - and you can get them niggas on your album,
cool. But if they askin' you for 50, 80 and 90
thousand [dollars]? Potnah, I need you on my shit
nigga I'm Spice One. And even if I wasn't Spice One,
I would have more confidence in myself as an artist
to just bust and be raw. I do songs with my home
boys because we cool and we get down like that".
Spices mission was to make an album that reflected
the true mentality of the west coast. That mission
was accomplished on "Immortalized". "I'm not mad at
nobody. But ever since Pac and Biggie got killed.
It seems like niggas been scared to spit the real.
This shit [the rap game] came from the streets. And
when it leaves the streets - it's gon' die." Rest
assured that as long has his lungs keep breathing,
Spice One will never let that happen.

FEED BACK & LETTERS
King Dave,
As a subscriber to your newsletter and a former active
journalist, I never thought I would be compelled to write
to you. I am someone who has seen you walking and riding
around the Bay for years and someone who has heard you
speak at all the media events like the Bay Area Black
Journalist townhall meetings and the Bay Area Black Media
Coalition conferences. We have even written articles for
the same local papers.
Anyway, I must weigh-in on the Eminem/NWA/Niggaz thing:
I just moved back to the Bay Area after living for
two years in my small hometown of Rockford, Illinois and
it was quite an experience.
I saw white people in my old 'hood, selling and smoking
crack, listening to a lot of Hip-Hop and, yes, calling each
other "Nigga."
At first, I thought this was just to fit in, but then
when I looked at the contexts in which the word was used,
I saw something deeper.
The word was used to express anger that was not
necessarily hatred. As in "Niggah, I'll kill you!"
The word was used as a term of endearment as in "That's
my Niggah, right there."
However the word was used, it was used to show a
sincere emotion that could hardly be mistaken for a
racial slur.
My mother would come by my house and hear my white
neighbors use the word and she just wrote them off as
"white trash." And my girlfriend, who was Native American
looked at them with some disdain, also. But I understood.
The point is, the term has been so co-opted by so
many races as to have become mostly benign. It's just
become another noun that could be easily applied to
anything and anyone. How the word is received depends
largely on the listener and the circumstances and
circumstances don't necessarily have a color.
As for Eminem, I can't see him with the Straigh
Outta Compton clique, but I believe that if I got to
know him, I'd be telling people, "That's my Nigga!"
Luv the website and the newsletter, Dave. Keep on doin'
what you're doing on the air and on the Net.
Terry Andre Woodard

Dave:
In response to your comments on Eminem being a "nigga".
I firmly believe that in 1999/2000, the detrimental
associations with the word nigger have diminished in
certain cultures in our society. As long as I can
remember, some 27+ years now, my friends and I have
greeted each other with "What up nigga", "Yo nigga"
and many other hello's along those lines. It is
nothing to hear us saying things like "That's my
nigga" or "Nigga you crazy". The fact that I am
white has never played a factor in being a "Nigga".
In the hip-hop culture, it is equivocal to being
"one of the guys". Even the women that we hang
around with who are down become "niggas" from time
to time. The word has become a badge of honor of
sorts that validates and solidifies your acceptance
in the hip hop culture. It is our brand of tattoo,
letting all who hear know that you are accepted,
"down with the movement".
It is far past the time when we as citizens in the
various neighborhoods and burroughs of the hip-hop
community live such contradictory lives. We preach
"keep it real" when the reality is that we all have
bills to pay and mouths to feed. We adopt and
conceive to create our own dialect of the English
language and then change the rules of application
to suit our own needs in any given situation.
Is Em black, no. But is he a nigga? Yes. Didn't
he go through his own set of trials and tribulations
in the course of life in the hip hop culture to
earn that title. His skills alone, which are
considerable to date, we'll see if he has lasting
value, should grant him access to the hip hop elite
and thus wear the title.
Color doesn't make you a nigga. If we as a culture
have adopted this title as a term of endearment, we
cannot be selective about who can be endeared with
its use.

Basically white rappers calling themselves niggas has
already started. Example White Dawg on his album shit
poor accuse of an album Thug Ride. I forgot which track,
but he says it and pays it no mind.
As for Eminem I give him respect for being a good
lyricist (not the saviour of Hip-Hop) and for knowing
not to go near the word.
In terms of white kids and blacks using the word in the
public at large, it seems to me that the true impact
of the word won't reach them until they encounter the
racism attached to it.
Recently here in the UK there have been a host of race
crimes committed by right-wing racist groups, and the
police. Things are so bad that a man who attacked,
doused with petrol and set alight in a race attack
outside a bar, was deemed by the police to have
committed suicide (???).
Biggest influence for the use of word outside of the
Ku Klux Klan ARE rappers they seem to be ignorant of
its impact when nicely edited, packaged and sound
engineered. It is no longer something that you say
within your crew, but becomes public domain e.g. Quentin
Tarantino's frequent use. I do find it weird however
that whenever a rapper performs to a crowd which is
not predominately black that they don't tend to say
nigga (as anyone else notice that?). It is as if they
realize they sound stupid calling themselves a nigga
in front of whites.
Something has to be done in term of when (if at all)
it should be used, because I'm sick of having to
punch white kids who say as a term of endearment
(whatever that means).

JAY-Z DRAMA...
The drama surrounding Jay-Z and last week's stabbing of record
executive Lance 'Un' Rivera continues to unfold. First, we have
two counts of first degree assault being charged to Jay-Z. He
will have to appear in court on January 31st and if convicted
can get up to 25 years. If that's not enough, two other people
have popped up to claim they too were assaulted by Jay-Z on
separate occasions. Jay-Z's camp not only maintains his
innocence but also notes that because of the controversy and
Jay-Z's high visibility all sorts of folks are coming out and
attacking. Lastly, you have the rampant speculation and
rumors that are suggesting this whole drama is one big
publicity stunt to help boost album sales of Jay-Z's soon
to be released 'The Life And Times Of Shawn Carter'. The
supposed fuel that led up to the stabbing and assault on
Lance Un Rivera was the belief that Rivera and his crew
were bootlegging Jay-Z's album.
For all this to occur just as we head on into the new
millennium is a major set back for Hip Hop and the
positive strides Jay-Z has made this year. Here's a guy
who not only won a Grammy, but also put on the most
successful tour in Hip Hop history. The Hard Knock Life Tour
was free of the violence and mayhem often associated with
rap and it set a tone for the type of better things to
come. Here's a guy who owns and runs one of Hip Hop's most
successful labels Roc-A-Fella Records. He recently profiled
on national TV news shows like Fox Files where they focused
on the fact that Jay-Z despite his success still goes back
to his old neighborhood of Marcy Projects in Bedstuy Brooklyn
and tried to reach out and help bring up others. Now we can
look and say what we want about Jay-Z. We can take his side
and believe he was uninvolved. We can look at this from the
other side and say it was a ridiculous thing for him to do
when you consider how much he has going for him. Jay-Z as
we get ready to head on into the 21st century is clearly
at the top of his game. What can not be ignored is this
eerie pattern of brothas being on top of their game and
suddenly having something negatively dramatic happen in
their lives.
It's ironic that we get ready to close out '99 with this
unfortunate incident because about a year ago I wrote an
article entitled 'The Year of The Hip Hop Criminal'
http://www.daveyd.com/FullArticles\articleN13.asp. In it
I noted that 98 saw close to 30 high profile rap stars
either get arrested, do some jail time or be involved
in some sort of drama. I'm talking about everyone from
Bushwick Bill, Mystikal, Mase, Busta Rhymes, Method Man,
Noreaga, DMX, Fat Joe, Big Pun, Keith Murray, Foxy Brown,
C-BO, Ghostface Killer, ODB, D-Dot The Madd Rapper,
Coolio, Wyclef Jean and Guru just to name a few. This
year alone had all sorts of drama ranging from crazy
incidents involving, Puff Daddy, Luther Campbell,
Kane & Abel, Duke of Pyscho Realm, Redman, DMX, Tim
Westwood, and Raydogg of Made Men/RSO are just a few.
As I looked over incidents that have occurred over the
past five years the list becomes even longer with damn
near everyone from Queen Latifah to Naughty By Nature
having had hand cuff slapped on them. Others ranging
from Suge Knight to Rappin' 4Tay found themselves and
still find themselves behind bars. Over the past 5 years
we've lost more then 10 artists to untimely deaths:
2Pac, Biggie, Seagram, Big L, Freaky Tah, Eazy E, MC Ant,
Mr C of RBL Posse, and Rappin' Ron are just a few. The
bottom line is I found myself hard pressed to find an
high profile artist that has not had some sort of
troubling incident attached to their name. And these
are the things that have been reported.
By citing these names I'm not trying to make the case
that none of these individuals are not responsible for
any sort of drama they have experienced. I am concerned
at the high numbers and I have to ask 'Why?' and 'How?'
I have to ask 'Is there a pattern here?' It's easy to
look at this list and simply come to the conclusion
that all these people mentioned are involved in Hip Hop
and their lifestyle is supposedly violent. One easily
put two and two together and call it a day, but I think
there's more to it then that. All this is not happening
in a vacuum. Are we a society of criminals and people who
like to act ill? Are there outside forces at work that
helping mold and shape this overall picture? If we are
all criminal, how come so many are high profile
successful artists who we see and hear everyday? Are
we a community that likes to give props to the Thugs
and Hoodlums in our midst? Are all these arrests a
result of us glamorizing the gangsta and thug mentality?
Or is it something else? Should we not look at the social,
economic and political forces that are at work and
impacting us all? For example, last year when I did
the story about the 'Year of The Hip Hop Criminal', I
found that more then half the artists who got arrested
fell into similar scenarios. They were driving expensive
cars, got pulled over and found them and their cars
being searched. At that point, the police would usually
discover something that would lead to an arrest like a
joint in the ashtray, a weapon or someone wearing a
bullet proof vest which is illegal in many states.
Now I'm not a statistician or anything like that, so
I can't say for sure whether or not these type of
arrests were in synch with what was going on with the
everyday population. It just seemed like rap artists
were being targeted by police. I wound up exploring
this a bit further and eventually with the help of
the ALCU and Vinnie from Naughty By Nature came to
the conclusion that what I was noticing may have been
part of this Driving While Black profiling that the
ACLU and the NAACP was combatting. I eventually did
a radio show on this topic where Vinnie who was a guest
shared with our audience that there were indeed a lot
of rappers and Black celebrities in general who were
constantly being hassled by New York City. He pointed out
that mayor Giuliani was encouraging his police department
to crack down and as result a lot of young Black man in
a fancy cars were being seen as dope dealers or some
other type of criminal. The end result was seemingly
everyone in a fancy car who was Black or Puerto Rican
would find themselves being pulled over for some petty
infraction like 'no lights over the licence plate'.
These stops were being used as a pretense to search
cars. It was at that point that half smoked joints or
weapons would be found. Now should these artists have
been more responsible? Yes of course. However, what
should not be ignored is the reason for the police
stop in the first place. Vinnie eventually went on to
do some speaking on behalf of the ACLU in an attempt
to give people a heads up about this problem.
I will admit what i just described in no way addresses
the question of violence or Jay-Z's current situation.
I'm not trying to justify anything or make excuses for
ill behavior. I am however saying we should definitely
be taking a close look at all these numbers and see if
there's a pattern. Why is this happening? is it something
in the water? is there a bigger social issue at hand?
I'll close by noting this..If you look beyond the
boundaries of Hip Hop you'll find that damn near every
African American celebrities or High profile figure has
had some sort of drama come down the pipe. Think about
what has happened over the past 10 years.. James Brown
went to jail, Michael Jackson was accused of child
molestation, Magic Johnson got HIV, Michael Jordan's
father was killed and stories surfaced about his
gambling habit, Bill Cosby's son was killed and rumors
surfaced about it being drug related, not to mention
around the same time his wholesome All American father
image was soiled by a woman who attempted to extort
money by claiming Bill was her dad. Earlier this year
basketball great Dr J [Julius Erving] found himself in
the limelight and reporters trying to soil his name
when they discovered his extramarital indiscretions
from years back. From film director Spike lee to
actors like Mikal T Williams or Malik Yorba to all these
African American Mayors of predominantly Black cities
who lost their seats, such high profile individuals
have had their characters and reputations tarnished,
they've been involved with some major drama, they've been
ostracized and marginalized or they've just been plain
old drag down from the high status they once had. Think
about it. Start naming off names and you'll discover
there's an there's an awful lot of people who have been
heroes and sheroes within the African American community
who have suddenly fallen from grace. Maybe we're asking
more questions and digging deep into people's personal
lives or maybe there's is something else at hand. I can't
say exactly what it is. I can't quite put my finger on it..
But something ain't right in Gotham City. Is this whole
incident involving Jay-Z an isolated incident? Is it a
case of bad and irresponsible judgement? Or is it part
of trend and a pattern that is now starting to unfold?

Q-TIP'S DEMANTI...
Q-Tip's manager Chris Lighty , of Violator Records released
a press statement in response to the NY Daily News front
page story that blasted the headlines 'Rappers Brawl'. In
the story it remarked how Q-Tip got hurt during the melee
and was seen sitting on the stage crying. Here's the press
statement:
This morning, in the cover story entitled "Rapper Brawl,"
the NY Daily News made a number of erroneous statements
regarding Q-Tip at his record release party this week
in New York. The fact is Q-Tip was not injured nor
assaulted in the on stage melee. At the time the NY
Daily News reported that Q-Tip was "crying on stage,"
he was nowhere in the vicinity of the violence. In
actuality, he was upstairs in the mezzanine having
his photo taken and doing press interviews, unaware of
the activities taking place on the first floor. Q-Tip,
a former member of A Tribe Called Quest, does not
condone violence and regrets that this unfortunate
incident took place at what was supposed to be a
great celebration. Q-Tip's solo debut, "Amplified,"
was released on November 30th on Arista Records.

2PAC CONFERENCE
The 2Pac Amaru Shakur One Nation conference that was held
this Saturday Dec 4th at McClymonds High School in West
Oakland was a beautiful thing. The community came out in
force as there were several workshops presented that made
it worth attending. One highlight was an unreleased film
project that Pac participated in when he was 17. His
manager Leila Steinberg explained that 10 years ago 2Pac
partook in a film project where the ideas and perspectives
of several young people would be captured on tape and would
be revisited 10 years later to see how they had changed.
Out of all the participants 2Pac was the only one who
never made it to the 10 year anniversary. However, the
words he spoke were so moving and in many ways prophetic.
He addressed an array of issues ranging from ways to
change the educational system, to dealing with homelessness
to forming a new Black Panther Party to combat skin heads
who lived near his home in Marin City. The film left a
lot of people really missing Pac and understanding just
how intelligent and forthright he really was. One can only
imagine what sort of things he could've accomplished had
he still been around.
On the topic of education, 2Pac spoke eloquently about the
types of things that make it difficult for a lot of inner
city youth to learn. He suggested that everyone be required
to take classes that cover the basics-reading, writing and
arithmetic. he emphasized the fact that he not only enjoyed
reading but that it was a practical skill to have mastered.
While, he spoke about the practicality of people his age
[17 at that time] having the three Rs mastered, he noted
that the school curriculum should be designed to address
and deal with social issues and concerns that are going on
in people's day to day struggles. For example, he felt that
in his high school MT Tamalpias, that there should've been
classes that offered a realistic approach to money and
economics, sex education, drugs, racism and police
brutality. He summarized that these are issues people have
to deal with everyday yet they are never really discussed
in schools in a way that makes sense to youth. He noted that
type of clinical approach often imparted by teachers when
they did touch upon these topics left people feeling
confused and turned off. Instead of being required to
take foreign language, 2Pac suggested that youth be giving
classes on how to understand political double talk. He
questioned the usefulness of someone in the hood having
to learn German while these same individuals could not
understand the type talk his local politician uses when
explaining why he did not keep a promise he made to the
community. He wanted classes that would teach youth how
to break down and really understand the system. As Pac
rattled off his suggestion one could hear many of the
youth in the audience clapping and nodding their heads
in agreement.
2Pac brought his points home when he talked about how
the educational system was out of date. He noted that it
seemed like adults were concerned with having him and
other students do 'busy work' just for the sake of keeping
them occupied. He talked about how many parents saw school
as a place to drop their kids off like a day care center
and that it was disappointing that they remained
uninvolved. Adults he noted, weren't prepared and up to
the challenge of making education relevant for the kid
about to enter into the 1990s and later 21st century.
Pac was also candid when he spoke about his own
participation in class. He noted that he found school
to be boring and oftentimes he would do things to try
and stir things up. He wanted to break the routine he
noted.
Hearing Pac speak about the role of adults and how they
see young people as an after thought by way of their
actions really struck cords in the audience. He spoke at
length about the relationship he had with his mother
and how she always encouraged him to be truthful no
matter what the cost. He talked about how he was able
to talk to his mom about things like sex and drugs and
get honest answers. He talked about how his friends
used to come talk to his mom because their own parents
would not engage in such discussions. He noted that by
not speaking to their kids, the youth are left to find
answers in the streets. 2Pac also talked about taking
responsibility for the types of choices you make in
life and he was critical of some of his mother's choices.
For example he questioned the wisdom behind her decision
to move their family from New York City to Baltimore where
at that time it had the highest rate of teen pregnancy,
teen suicide, AIDS cases and teen violence in the entire
country. 2Pac said he found himself placed in a sea of
ignorance and felt like an outsider while living there.
He also felt inspired to try and do some things to change
the conditions and hence he made attempts to start
campaigns that addressed his concerns. He said he hated
feeling helpless and overwhelmed about conditions
effecting him.
In this film, 2Pac spoke about the legacy of living 8 of
his 17 years under President Ronald Reagan. He spoke in
depth about the types of miserable conditions his
presidency spawned within the inner city. He was hoping
that someone like Massachusetts Governor Dukakis or Jesse
Jackson would be able to be elected and correct some of
the wrongs. Pac noted how under Reagan there was a
dramatic increase in homelessness and he suggested that
Ronald Reagan could really set the tone to ending it if
he opened up the White House and let some of the homeless
live in the 1000 plus unoccupied rooms that existed there.
2Pac said he was puzzled as to how there could be
homelessness in Washington DC when the president lives
in a place with so many rooms. He noted that Reagan
would've benefited by having the homeless live under his
roof because they might be able to offer him some practical
advise for solving some problems. They could give him a
street perspective on certain situations. Pac's candidness
and suggestions left the interviewers momentarily speechless.
There were so many other things 2Pac covered, unfortunately
we weren't allowed to tape or get copies of the film. The
people who control 2Pac's estate won't allow this film out.
An exception was made for the conference. I was surprised
to learn that 2Pac's mom Afeni does not have final say so
on how 2Pac's estate is administered. As it was explained
to me there is still a lot of unfinished business that
needs to be tended to before she is finally given full
control. I'm not up on all the particulars but apparently
when one dies and all their affairs aren't in order, it
can be an absolute nightmare for the family members left
behind. It was explained that it took two years to of
cutting through legal red tape to get 2Pac's recently
released book of poetry published.
In any case if one gets a chance to ever see this film
please do so. No matter what one may think of 2Pac and
all the controversy that later befell his life, this
film is absolutely incredible and should be required
in all schools for both youth and parents to see. If for
any reason it bridges the generation gap. Even though
2Pac dropped his words 10 years ago, his remarks were
representing the sentiments of many of the youth in
attendance on Saturday's conference.
The other highlight of the 2Pac Conference that really
impacted people was the workshop put together by 2Pac's
Godfather Geronimo Jijaga Pratt. He was the former
Black Panther who was imprisoned for 27 years for a
crime he didn't do. He brought together a panel of
former Black Panthers and activists from the 60s. and
70s. Many of these guys had been to prison for long
periods of time for their involvement in the Panther
Party. They shared with the audience their upbringing
and let the youth they were addressing know that too
came from the hood. Many were former gang members or
wayward youth who tried to get themselves together
and change the system to bring about better tomorrows.
They talked at length about the reasons why one should
not 'set trip'. They talked about how the Panthers
attempted to politicize many of the old street gangs
and get them to re channel their energies to dealing
with a common enemy of oppression.
You had brothas from LA who talked about how the old
street gangs buried the hatchet and came together after
the Watts Riots of 1965 with the intentions of doing
good within the community. They spoke about the strong
alliances and connections the Black and Latino community
had on the west coast. It was really deep. They talked
about political prisoners and they talked about the
types of attempts that were made by the FBI under
director J. Edgar Hoover to undermine and break up
that unity. They talked about today's Hip Hop generation
and what sort of steps one should consider to leverage
power. They encouraged the youth to learn from past
mistakes and to not be afraid to become leaders. They
made it a point to let the audience know that when they
had joined the Black Panther Party, many of them only
18 or 19 years old. All these brothas and sistas who
spoke came from the heart to the point of being moved
to tears. It was truly one of the most powerful
workshops I had ever attended. I think the message from
all those in that room was felt and heard loud and
clear. If there was any reason to attend the 2Pac
Conference it was just to hear the old Panthers speak
to the youth. After the workshop everyone gathered
around to take pictures.

U Los Angeles Times-u se pre neki dan pojavila prica u vezi
ponovnog pokretanja istrage oko ubistva jednog od najvecih repera
devedesetih, Notorious B.I.G.-a. Naime, kako VIBE prenosi, vodi se
dodatna istraga oko bivseg pripadnika policije Los Angelesa, zbog
umesanosti u ubistvo B.I.G.-a
Policajac je vec u pritvoru zbog drugih stvari, ali kako se saznaje,
momak je bio u kontaktu sa Suge Knightom, osnivacem izdavacke
kuce Death Row Records (Dre, Tupac, Snoop) koji je navodno,
narucio ubistvo B.I.G.-a. Pomenuti policajac je opet, unajmio trece
lice za samo izvrsenje atentata.
Da bi stvar bila jos komplikovanija, momak iz B.I.G.-ove pratnje,
na skorasnjem "suceljavanju" u policijskoj stanici, prepoznao je
osumnjicenog policajca kao osobu koja je atentatora odvezla sa
lica mesta.
Jos nisu podignute optuznice, a obe strane, i zastupnici Knighta i
zastupnici pomenutog policajca odbijaju bilo kakvu umesanost u
atentat.
Inace, Suge Knight je i dalje na robiji gde izdrzava 9-godisnju kaznu
zbog krsenja uslovne slobode odnosno tuce u MGM hotelu, koja je
prethodila upucavanju Tupac Shakura.

PIONIRI HIP HOP-A
"""""""""""""""""
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I think all of us who
are involved or down for Hip Hop should take time out
and give thanks to all those who gave us the music,
the culture and the game. For example we all owe a
bit of gratitude to pioneers like Afrika Bambaataa
and his Universal Zulu Nation. Here's a guy who came
out of New York's ruthless gang culture and succeeded
in creating something positive when there was so much
negativity around. He took former gang members put
them under one umbrella known as Zulu Nation and over
the years brought this group not only to their
recently celebrated 25th Anniversary but made them
a household name in Hip Hop circles all around the
world. There are now over 10 thousand Zulu Nation
Members world wide and chapters in every major
city and countries throughout the Planet. The Zulu's
who used to vehemently guard turf now guard Hip Hop
Culture and many of its ideals.
Bam was known as the Master of Records because of his
huge vinyl collection and his willingness to expand
Hip Hop's musical boundaries. He was the first deejay
I ever heard take a Malcolm X or Martin Luther King
Speech and play it over a Hip Hop break beat. He
was creative enough to take the 'Theme to the Pink
Panther' and rock it over Hip Hop drum beats. Bam
was the first to really take Hip Hop beyond the
boundaries of The Bronx and Harlem's Black and Puerto
Rican communities. Bam was the one who made Hip Hop
multi-cultural. He was the first to take Hip Hop
downtown to New York's trendy village community. He
was the first to provide a safe haven for folks
outside the community to come up and see what Hip Hop
culture was really all about.
He's also the one who gave birth to the Electro-Funk
aspect of Hip Hop. He's the one attempted to keep the
soul of Black music in particular the funk from being
compromised, diluted and watered down during the Age
of Disco. Before folks were really up on George Clinton
and The P-Funk, Bam was a full fledged Funkateer. Before
folks really developed a deep appreciation for James
Brown whose music became a major backbone for early
Hip Hop, Bam was making records with him.
DJ Afrika Bambaataa was the one who spread the word
thus making him Hip Hop's first Ambassador. He was the
one who attempted to bridge the generation gap between
a resistant older Black community and it's innovative
young. He was the first who attempted to provide a
positive forum of expression for the local neighborhood
thugs. This is the same Bambaataa-The Grandfather of
Hip Hop who recently came to the Bay Area to perform
at a club with less then 100 people and not one major
radio or video station that now makes a living peddling
Hip Hop culture bothered to grant him an interview. No
one bothered to build directly from his experience
and wisdom. This is the same Bambaataa who laid down
much of the blue print for Hip Hop but now when his
name is mentioned to todays Hip Hopper he/she will
arrogantly dismiss Bam and accomplishments and say
'He's Old School'.
Did you play a Bambaataa record this Thanksgiving? Did
you give thanks to one of our founding fathers?
We owe thanks to DJ Kool Herc and his Herculoids. For
those who don't know the Herculoids was the name given
to Herc's monster sound system. It was unrivaled and
it was what gave Herc his reputation as a DJ not to
be toyed with. He could and would drown you out in any
sound battle. It was Herc who was the first to throw
huge block parties. These were the parties that people
often rhyme about when they talk about going 'back in
the days'. Like Bam, Herc was a peace keeper. His
legendary block parties brought people from all over.
During this time of New York's infamous turf wars,
Kool Herc was one of the few that could bring
everyone under one roof and make everyone get along.
Herc's 25 cent admission price, his Herculoidian sound
system and his unique deejaying style was always the
feature attraction. Having such a booming system was
a hold over from the many deejaying techniques Herc
imported from his native Jamaica. In addition, Herc
was the first to take two records, find the percussion
breakdown [break beats] and extend it indefinitely on
two turntables. This technique later became the
foundation for Hip Hop's musical expression.
Lastly it was Herc who manifested the old African Oral
Tradition by getting on the mic and saying a 'little
some'em some'em'. Initially he made shout outs and
acknowledgements to people attending the party. This
helped keep the peace because it was a way of making
folks feel important. No!, Herc didn't rhyme like they
do today. But he laid down the ground work for what
was to come. We owe thanks to Coke La Rock and Clark
Kent who used to roll with Herc. These were Hip Hop's
first emcees. They were the ones who not only gave shout
outs, announced upcoming events and made celebrities
out of all the party goers, but they were among the
first to start reciting rhymes on a mic over break beats.
Ironically the technique of rhyming over music was
initially attributed to our Jamaican cousins. It was
known as toasting. However, the folks in Jamaica got
their game from the early Black radio deejays here in
the states who were known for their 'gift of gab' and
rhyme skillz. Many used to rhyme while introducing
songs. Many Jamaicans had opportunities to hear some
of these old radio shows due to the fact that the
signals which was carried on the AM dial, would bounce
down to the islands. It wasn't long before some of
these Black radio deejay techniques began to be
mimicked by our Jamaican counterparts. By the time
Herc hit the streets of New York that old style of
deejaying was all but erased from the Black radio
stations that were listened to by New York's young
people. Radio back then was then undergoing major
changes. The concept of of more music less talk was
emerging and disco was being shoved down people's
throat. A lot of kids were rejecting this music which
left a huge void.
Herc's arrival filled a void and in a strange sort of
ways linked generations. I recall doing a radio interview
with Herc about two years ago and he was remarking how he
was having a difficult time obtaining free tickets to
Hip Hop concerts. He remarked how he would hear NY radio
stations boldly claim in their slogans 'This Is where
Hip Hop lives' but when Herc, who is often considered
to be The Godfather of Hip Hop would call and ask for
a pair of tickets to an upcoming 'Hip Hop' event being
sponsored by the station, his request would be denied.
With Hip Hop being a multi-billion dollar a year
business one has to wonder if Herc has even made his
first million? With all the rap stars who have made it
a point to do major collaborations, who has bothered
to invite Kool Herc to bless one of their songs? Public
Enemy's Terminator X was the only one I knew of who did this..
So this Thanksgiving lets give props to Kool Herc the
Godfather of Hip Hop. More importantly before your son or
daughter pops in a cassette of the latest Juvenile or
Cash Money song where they talk about 'Bling Bling',
make sure they know about DJ Kool Herc.
Lets not overlook Grandmaster Flash. This is the man who
perfected the deejaying technique that was started by
Herc. This was the man who brought style and showmanship
to deejaying. He was the first to really elevate the art
by inventing all sorts of turntable tricks. Flash was
the first one I ever saw mix records while turning his
back to the audience. He was the one who I first saw do
what we now call quick mixing and cutting. Flash, who
back in the days was a certified electrician, was also
the guy who invented the cross fader that all deejays
use to cue up records. Flash was also the first to
bring out a drum machine and incorporate it into the
mix. Back then it was called The Beat Box. Before Flash
hit the scene with his legendary group the Furious Five
he was part of another pioneering crew called the L
Brothers. The L stood for Livingston. Within that clan
was a young kid who was mentored and taught by Flash
name Theodore. It was Flash who passed down the game
and gave birth to one of Hip Hop's most colorful and
pioneering deejays Grand Wizard Theodore. For those
who don't know Theodore is credited with inventing
the scratch.
Grandmaster Flash was always an attraction. He set
the standard for aspiring deejays. When I think
back to all the innovative turntable tricks Flash
did back in the days and take into account the type of
equipment he used, I can only wonder what heights he
could've achieved had he had access to today's
standard equipment. Back in the 70s Flash didn't
have the luxury of today's strong motored Technique
1200s. He didn't have fancy mixers that are designed
specifically for turntable acrobatics. What Flash
accomplished can only be marveled.
While Flash was a household names, on par with him
were his legendary emcees. The Furious Four Emcees
and later Five. We're talking about Mr Ness aka
Scorpio, Kid Creole, Mele-Mel and Cowboy. Raheem of
course came from another Hip Hop pioneering group
we owe much gratitude DJ Breakout And The Funky
Four Plus One More. That 'One More' was Sha-Rock
who was one of Hip Hop's first female emcees. Back
in '78 she was the absolute bomb. Also The Funky
Four Plus One More perfected the art of rhyming with
an echo chamber. Props to the late great Cowboy who
was Grandmaster Flash's first emcee. Back then he
set the standard for rockin' parties. He was the one
who developed all the popular 'call and response'
techniques that are still used to this day. His
untimely death some years back was sad indeed and in
many ways tragic. For one who gave so much he has not
been openly appreciated by many who claim they are
down for Hip Hop. Hip Hop owes major gratitude to
Cowboy. Thanks should be given to Mele-Mel who back
in the days was the absolute best emcee. With his
baritone voice, Mele was the one who 'had rhymes
galore'. He was also among the first to drop relevant
social messages in his raps. Who can forget his
landmark record 'The Message'? His style and finesse
were what many an early emcee strived to achieve.
In the spirit of Thanksgiving lets give props to all
the Hip Hop pioneers: The late Disco King Mario,
Zulu Queen Lisa Lee who was another pioneering female
emcee. We owe thanks to the late Masterdon and his
crew The Committee which featured among others a dope
female rapper named Pebbly Poo. The late Pumpkin who
was Hip Hop's first real producer and original 'funky
drummer' is owed some props. We also owe a big thanks
to The Crash Crew which featured Mike & Dave, Lashube,
the late Darryl C, Mike C, G-Man and Barry B-Stro who
wound up doing an appearance on Saturday Nite Live
back in '81. Grand Wizard Theodore and The Fantastic
Romantic 5, The Brother's 3, Pete DJ Jones, the late
Grandmaster Flowers, The Force MCs, Infinity Machine,
The Disco Twins, Orange Crush Productions which was
Russell Simmons' group in his pioneering days, Kurtis
Blow who was the first artist signed to a major record
label are all owed props. Pioneering djs like Kid Capri,
Brucie B and DJ Cordeo should be honored. All you
mixtape DJs owe a bit of gratitude to the original
Tape Kings who were the first to do mixtapes back
the days.
Fab 5 Freddy gets props for more then just Yo! MTV raps.
He was a key architect in the early Brooklyn Hip Hop
scene. Other pioneers we owe thanks to include;
Spoonie G and The Treacherous Three which included
Kool Moe Dee, Eddie Cheeba and The Cheeba Crew, Chief
Rocker Busy Boy Starski, Lovebug Starski, The Mercedes
Ladies, DJ Hollywood, Force MCs, Jazzy Jay and Afrika
Islam for doing the first Hip Hop radio show called
Zulu Beats. DJ Red Alert who just celebrated his
birthday is due props as he's been putting Hip Hop
down almost since the beginning. We can't forget Mr
Magic and of course The Cold Crush Brothers featuring
one of Hip Hop's best, the legendary Grandmaster Caz.
The Cold Crush epitomize the art of harmonizing and
developing routines. Their 'Cats In the Cradle' routine
is still a Hip Hop classic. They also sported DJ
Charlie Chase one of Hip Hop's more visible Latinos.
We would be remiss if we didn't cite Sugar Hill Gang
for putting out the genres second rap record. The
first was put out by King Tem III OIt was called
'Personality Jock' and was on the flipside of Fatback
band record. This record harked back to the old school
Black radio deejay days. People's first introduction
to Rap music was through Sugar Hill Gang. They also
hold the dubious distinction of changing the name
from emceeing or rhyming to rap. These are just a few
of the many pioneers who put it down for us. I haven't
even hit on the whole dancing and graf aspects of
Hip Hop culture.
Here out west we owe a great deal of gratitude to
Egyptian Lover and Uncle Jamms Army. They were among
the first to go out and have their own independent
artist owned Hip Hop label. They were the west coast
equivalent to DJ Kool Herc as they used to throw some
legendary 'block' parties at local roller rinks, the
LA Coliseum, The Sports Arena and Pasadena Civic
Auditorium. In addition to all this they used to host
concerts where they created a forum for all the upcoming
artist of the day. Their reign went from the late 70s
all the way into the mid 80s where they would be
broadcasted live on Hip Hop's first commercial radio
station KDAY 1580 am.
One of the first places folks out west got a chance to
see Run DMC was at an Uncle Jamms Party. Ice T was the
first to make the bi-coastal connection when he hooked
with DJ Afrika Islam of the Zulu Nation. He even formed
a bi-coastal group featuring himself, Mele-Mel and Bronx
Style Bob called the Zulu Kings. Mixmaster Spade, DJ
Unknown and The World Class Wrecking Crew all put it
down for early Hip Hop here in the west. We can't
forget Chris The Glove who still produces tracks to
this day. DJs like Tony G, Julio G, Emcee O, M-Walk,
Joe Cooley and the entire KDAY Mixmasters squad deserve
our thanks. Remember KDAY 1580 was the nation's first
commercial Hip Hop radio station. We owe much thanks
to former program director and air personality Greg Mack.
Folks like Toddy Tee and Captain Rapp were the first to
drop socially conscious messages here on the West.
Remember the song 'Batter Ram' where Toddy brought
attention to LA's notorious crack scene and the LA
police department's' outrageous response which was
to bulldoze crack houses with a tank? Captain Rapp
had the west coast equivalent to 'The Message' with the
classic tune 'I Can't Stand It [Bad Times]'. Of course
we all owe thanks to producer Rich Carson and some of
the early Electro-funk he laid down with groups like
Formula IV and their classic song 'Killer Groove'.
Thanks must be given to west coast pioneers The LA Dream Team
featuring the late Rudy Pardee. How could we ever forget
songs like 'Rockberry'. Thanks go out to The Arabian
Prince who was putting it down in the early 80s. A bit of
gratitude is owed to that big baller King Tee and others
like Rodney O, General Jeff to name a few.
Further up North in the Bay Area, pioneers like Too Short
and Freddy B are to be given their due. They embraced
the pioneering spirit of ownership and entrepreneurialism.
They used to go around and sell homemade tapes on the
back of buses and out the trunk of cars. And like the
Hip Hop pioneers in New York, they too went around and
performed at neighborhood block parties and community
centers. Short also used to make custom made tapes for
all the local shot callers and big ballers. Short with
his record setting eleven albums laid down the blue
print for other West Coast artist who went on to own
labels. Other pioneers like MC Hammer and E-40 with his
original group MVP [Most Valuable Players] built upon
this model and added some crucial ingredients and
ground work to this whole entrepreneurial scene. Other
artists who put it down include Timex Social Club, Silky C,
and Hollywood, Coughnut of IMP, Hugh E MC, Saleem,
Dangerous Dame, MC Ant and Chill EB who went on to do
some popular Sega commercials. Guys like One Take Jake
and the members the group Basshouse Funk were among the
early white kids putting it down for Hip Hop. Again
this is going back to to the early 80s. Producers like
Khayree, Al Eaton, Ant Banks, Alex Hill and DJ EFX and
CJ Flash were among the early Hip Hop producers. Sway &
King Tech of the internationally syndicated Wake Up
Show were early Bay Area pioneers. A lot of people
don't know that Tech was deeply involved in the early
west coast break dance scene. In fact he was an original
member of the SF Ballet Breakers which formed in '82-'83.
On the radio front DJs like Kevvy Kev on Stanford's KZSU,
and KK Baby, Marcus Clemmons, La Baron and Rappin' 4Tay's
manager Frankie Jay were spinning Hip Hop beats and
putting it down for Hip Hop as far back as '79-'80 on
89.5 KPOO. The whole radio aspect evolved and the end
result was the formation of the Bay Area Hip Hop Coalition.
All in all, we who are down with Hip Hop owe a bit of
gratitude to those who came before us. Many us make a
comfortable living off the culture laid down by Hip Hop's
pioneers-many of whom are still around. Like the
creators of blues and Rock-n-Roll from several generations
before, many of these pioneers do not share the windfall
of profits that Hip Hop has generated. Sure, we have a few
success stories we can point to like Russell Simmons or
Andre Harrell who with the pioneering group Dr Jeckyl
and Mr Hyde. We can point too an Ice T, Too Short or E-40
and see that they're doing ok.. But the overwhelming
majority of folks who initially put it down are all but
forgotten and in many cases disrespected. Far too many us
are arrogant when we state that such individuals 'had
their day'. The problem with such sentiments is that we
often forget that we have been able to avoid many
pitfalls that have hindered our pioneers by learning
from their mistakes. Let us not forget or take for granted
the trailblazers of Hip Hop culture. Lets give thanks to
all who came before us... and put it down. It's only to
our advantage to know and appreciate our roots.

MASTER RAKIM 1CE AGAIN...
Today (30.11.1999.) marks the official return of Hip Hop's
greatest emcee of alltime-Rakim Allah. His new lp 'The Master'
is dope, but I'm unafraid it will be met with little fanfare.
This is in spite of it being produced by Hip Hop's dopest
producer of alltime - DJ Premier and him keeping his
collaborations to a bare minimum. On this new joint only
Rahzel, Canibus and Lauryn Hill are allowed mic time.
Simply put, a lot of today's Hip Hop record buyers don't
really appreciate what 'The R' met to Hip Hop when he first
touched down almost 14 years ago back in 1986. His
smooth-cold as ice, unhurried rhyme pace revolutionized rap.
During that time everyone was shouting and sounding really
hyped on the mic. The R came along and changed the tempo.
He let you know you could chill and still drop lyrical bombs.
Rakim's 'paid in full' lyrics proceeded the 'bling bling',
'I got money, power respect' mentality and lyrics of today.
Just look at the back of Rakim's landmark album 'Paid In
Full' and tell me how was he and his crew were any different
then the Cash Money Click and No Limit Clicks of today? They
had as much gold draped around their neck as today's Hip
Hoppers have diamonds. The only difference was, Rakim made
it sound oh so cool to be materialistic. I'll give Rakim
and his than partner Eric B, they were really Hip Hop's
first million dollar rappers. When I ran into Eric a while
back he broke it down and explained that while other
rappers at that time were getting ripped off by ruthless
record companies who had no qualms taking advantage of
their ignorance, he and R cut a million dollar deal when
they left their original label 4th & Broadway and landed
on MCA. Eric explained that him and Rakim were straight
businessmen and they made it a point to get their piece
of the pie. When the R was brought out of retirement and
asked to drop 'The 18th Letter' he got a piece of the pie.
He was literally 'brought out' of retirement.
I listened to Rakim's last album 'The 18th Letter' and I'm
still hard pressed trying to figure out why so many people
thought it was weak. To this day I still can't figure out
who could match the rhyme style and delivery he executed
on a song like 'New York'. I'm still puzzled as to what
was wrong with his well put together commercial sounding
songs like 'Remember That'. I was talking to some pack back
wearing, underground, 'keep it real' type brotha who was
trying to run it down to me as to how on his last album,
Rakim 'sold out' by going commercial. He kept insisting
that 'The R' reverted to making songs for the radio. I
thought about it and it didn't make sense because as far
back as 'Paid In Full', Rakim had always dropped songs
that were regularly played on radio. From 'I Know You
Got Soul' to 'What's On Your Mind' to 'It's Been A Long
Time', the R was one of the few emcees who always managed
to be in regular rotation. As quiet as kept, he and Eric B
were even one of the first along side Run DMC to fuse
Hip Hop with rock. Folks may want to listen back to the fancy
rock mix they did of the classic single 'Paid In Full'. The
name of the song that was used has momentarily slipped my
mind. I recall the name Diana being in the title.. I do
recall having to play it three times a night when I used
to spin at white fraternity gigs up on the UC Berkeley
campus. Back then it was one of the few Hip Hop records I
could play. It was 'Paid In Full' and 'Walk This Way' and
'Tricky' by Run DMC that would keep the dance floor packed.
Even when Rakim did get commercial exposure, it wasn't
like you could front and say he was wack, 'cause everyone
knew there was no way he could matched on the mic. I mean
we're talking about Hip Hop's greatest emcee. Before folks
start going off about how real Hip Hop has never been
presented to the masses, bear in mind Rakim was there in
front of people's faces from day one. Paid In Full was
definitely an album that crossed over. The only other
emcee who was like R was Biggie. He was a dope emcee who
got regular air play and still managed to keep his street
creditability.
So today when you're in the record store and you see the
new lp 'The Master', understand that he's one of the few
who can make such claims and live up to it. The album
is pretty damn cool. Rakim hasn't really changed, just
the way people appreciate or don't appreciate various
styles of Hip Hop. My only complaint with 'The R' is
he ain't the greatest on stage performer. But there is
no one on planet earth from Mos Def on down to Pharaohe
Monch on down to Eminem who can match this kid on the
mic. Bottom line - He's the true Master.

PROBLEMI ZA DIGITAL UNDERGROUND...
Bad news for Digital Underground as two people within
their entourage were arrested the other night in Little
Rock, Arkansas. Kyle James Eastern Jr., 21, and Michael
Sheldon Pierson were accused of 'attacking and fondling'
a 21 year old woman backstage after the group's concert
at the Hall of Industry which is located at the Arkansas
State Fairgrounds. The woman told police that she went
backstage and was forced into a bathroom by the two band
members who kissed and fondled her against her will.
She later identified Pierson who is NOT one of the
group's rappers or dancers and newcomer Kyle Eastern.
Eastern was also found to be possessing a small amount of
weed [marijuana]. The Little Rock police department
noted that both men after being arrested, gave
statements about the encounter and were later released
on bail. They have been charged with first degree
sexual abuse. So far there has been no official public
statements issued by any of the group's more notable
members like Shock G, Humpty Hump or Money B. We'll
keep you posted as this drama unfolds.

UHAPSEN BUM BEAZY
In another bizarre and unfortunate twist for Hip Hop, a
New Orleans based rapper who sports the name Bum Beazy
aka James Lane 20, was arrested and charged with a series
of robberies. He apparently was out trying to raise money
to record his album. Bum Beazy's claim to fame was him
wearing a bumble bee suit when performing. Beazy when
arrested was caught with a handgun and 600 dollars in
Cash.. As I'm writing this, I'm thinking to myself-this
fool was wearing a bumble bee outfit. He should've been
arrested for that alone. Also with all the Hip Hop money
floating around New Orleans, between Cash Money and
No Limit, that could've probably hooked a deal with
those guys. Damn Bum Beazy you messed up!

HIP HOP KALUDJERICA...
Since we've been talking about the strange and bizarre
happenings within Hip Hop, lets talk about some nuns in
Italy. Apparently there are a lot of Italians who believe
it's bad luck to walk past a nun. When this happens,
superstitious Italians will touch iron and say 'your nun'
which is the equivalent to knocking on wood here in the
US. Well to combat this bad reputation, Sister Alessandra
has turned to Hip Hop. She's dropped a protest CD of sorts
where she raps about the foolishness of this age old
superstition. The song is entitled 'Your Nun Touch Iron'.
From what I hear home girl [if you can call a nun home
girl] has a nice flow. So folks next time your parents
give you a bad time about listening to Hip Hop, you let
them no there are some bonafide nuns in Italy using
Hip Hop to get their message across. I tell you one
thing, with Sister Alessandra dropping her CD, she
gives new meaning to the term 'blessing the mic'.

HIP HOP LADIES
At long last Hip Hop celebrates the accomplishments of it's
women folk. There is a new documentary that will be
premiering this week in Los Angeles entitled 'Nobody Knows
My Name'. According to the press release the film is put
together by Rachel Raimist of UCLA. The film is "Shot in
an intimate, hand-held style the film draws you into the
stories of the main characters - Medusa, T-Love, Lisa,
Asia One, DJ Symphony, and Leschea. They are women of
different ages, races, ethnicities, and economic
backgrounds, but they are connected by one thing,
their love for hip hop".
The featured Hip Hoppers include "Medusa, who is considered
the queen of the LA's thriving Hip Hop underground. She's
an emcee and poet who performs weekly in Los Angeles.
T-Love is an LA native and ex-Cripette [gang member] who
decided her lyrical skills would be her road to success.
Another character who is highlighted, Lisa married into
the Hip Hop life, and is now raising a hip hop family.
Leschea is an artist brought into the game by rap star
Masta Ace of the INC. Y'all remember Masta Ace? Anyway,
Leschea has lived a bumpy road even while signed to major
label Warner Bros. Records. Asia One has been organizing
the B-Boy Summit for years but is a b-girl who gets tired
of "rollin'" with all guys. DJ Symphony is the only female
member of The World Famous Beat Junkies dj crew, and is
passionate about turntabalism. All of these women share
their stories, dispel rumors, and illuminate truths. In
short, they offer insight and advice for young women
coming up today.
The film will be shown Monday December 6th at 8pm on the
UCLA Campus at Melniitz Hall inside The Bridges Theater.
The event is FREE so there is absolutely no excuse for
anyone who lives in LA not to be there. Afterwards there
will be a panel discussion that focuses on Hip Hop
Feminism. It will feature the filmmaker Rachel Raimist,
Medusa, T-Love, Asia One, Nautica de la Cruz of Power 106
and my home girl The Poetess of 92.3 The Beat.
This looks to be a promising film and will mark the second
documentary coming out of LA this year. Earlier Keith
O'Derek and his partner Robert Corsini dropped a great
documentary that chronicled the the social, political
conditions that gave rise to "gangsta rap'. Entitled
'Straight From the Streets' it features Snoop Dogg,
Ice Cube, Cypress Hill, Ice T, Kam, DJ Quik, Rage,
Kurupt, Dr. Dre, RBX, DJ Red Alert, Davey D [that's me

NOVA ZRTVA - DJ SWIFT...
The Hip Hop world lost one of it's own this past weekend in
an unfortunate, tragic accident. Folks in Philadelphia are
familiar with Brian Perkins aka DJ Swift. He was well known
and well liked. He helped open up a record store three years
ago with his partner John Chambers in Willingbro, New Jersey
called the Music Factory. Here they sold mixtapes and vinyl
for local deejays. According to the local newspapers in the
Philly area, Swift and his partner were practicing a drill
just in case the store got robbed. It was during this
exercise that DJ swift who was role playing an armed robber
was accidently shot in the head.
I recall meeting this guy earlier this year when he ventured
out to the Bay Area with Rahzel who was doing a promo tour.
The kid had nice skillz on the turntables. I also recall my
man Sway reaching out and giving me his phone number when I
was trying to track down Schoolly D. Sway told me Swift and
School were supposedly doing some work. I'm not sure if
Swift worked on Power 99 or WPHI 103.9.. In the Philadelphia
papers they list him as being an employee of WPHI.. But
folks who've alerted me to his untimely demise said he spun
on Power 99. In any case he will be missed.. Prayers and
condolences must go out to his family. DJ swift had just
gotten married 2 months ago.

CHUCK D SADA IMA SVOJU RADIO STANICU
'Radio! Suckers Never Play Me!'. These were the words Chuck D
of Public Enemy first uttered over 10 years ago on his
landmark record 'Rebel Without A Pause'. Since that time
Chuck D has been outspoken about his concerns on who
controls the flow of information. He has often pointed out
that people and Black folks in particular, tend to be
'religious' to their favorite radio stations. Their undaunted
loyalty sets up an interesting scenario in the sense that
Black people over time develop a mind set that has them
addicted and dependent on a media source that they
ultimately don't control. The result is a whole lot of folks
walking around thinking 'If it ain't talked about or played
on radio then it don't exist'. Many stations, in particular
white owned 'Black music stations' that target young people
take advantage of this loyalty by keeping an imbalance of
pertinent information that can positively impact and uplift
the community. In other words, folks are being fed a steady
diet of substandard material, and useless information that
keeps them wallowing in the pathological conditions that
effect them. Black ignorance has become a commodity that is
aggressively projected, highlighted and marketed by white
corporate radio owners who ultimately reap huge profits.
The impact has long lasting behavioral effects that many
people are just now starting to realize. How can some one
tell Little Johnny from the Hood to do do something good
and act intelligent when his primary media source is
constantly showing him by what they present, that you can
be handsomely rewarded for doing something bad and acting
dumb? Many community leaders and activists are starting
to raise questions about the type of influence radio
stations are having as well as the type of access the
community has to insuring that it's needs are being
supported. With some of these corporate giants now owning
up 8 stations in large metropolitan areas, is there a
balance of material and information being fed to the
community?
In a recent interview Chuck noted that since the month of
June he has done more then 500 interviews where he has
spoken about the various new technological ground he has
been covering and how there are new opportunities on the
horizons for young brothas and sistas if they too get
involved. While he's been on everything from CNN to C-Net,
very few of these interviews have been conducted on these
white owned Black radio stations that have effectively
used Hip Hop music and culture as a way to attract our
inner city youth. He pointed out that this has not been
his choice. There oftentimes appears to be a media middle
man who is disconnected from the community who decides
what should and should not be exposed. In a recent issue
of Chuck D's Terrordome Column which appears on his new
venture http://www.rapstation.com gave one reason radio
is poisoning the Black community.
"White-owned Black Radio sucks in '99 because the masters
endorse the policy of more music, less talk. This policy
further limits the information delivered to the people via
the creation of the transparent DJ --- Colorless individuals
unable to interpret the sounds they're playing for their
audience. Mix and college hip-hop jocks are the closest
thing we have today to the Black personality jocks of the
1950s and '60s - DJs who the people relied on for everything
in the 'hood from local business support to various
community activities. But corporations consider air time
that could be devoted to such services to be sponsor time
and not DJ time. That way it doesn't take much talent to
be a radio jock these days. (Who wants to hear a damn
weather report 30 times a damn day?!)"
When such criticism is launched, there are many who would
immediately say, 'Don't complain, go out and get your own'.
We'll that's exactly what Chuck D has done. He and his
partner Gary G-Wiz along with Chuck's record label Atomic
Pop have hooked up and formed a global radio station for
underground hip hop. It's called Bring The Noise
http://www.bringthenoise.com and it will feature six new
daily radio shows. Among them include Chuck D's weekly
radio show called 'When The S--t Hits The Fan' which
highlights unsigned indie label music from around the
world. There's another show of Hip Hop classics which
features longtime New York deejay Wildman Steve. There
are a couple of mix shows, tons of interviews and lots
of information. Bring The Noise is a very sophisticated
feature that has been around for about a year and has
developed a huge online following. It is now perched to
reach new heights and be a big factor in the online
communications game..
FNV readers be on the look out for an upcoming newsletter
where Chuck D gives you an indepth look and analysis
about radio and the undue influence it has on our
community. The interview is very timely when you consider
the recent reports about the serious drop over the past
year of African American owned radio stations and the
continued merging of media conglomerates who now have
'lock down' on Black listeners.

GOODIE MOB ARE READY FOR THE WORLD PARTY
Props to Cee-Lo, Big Gipp, T-Mo and Khujo of the Atlanta
based Goodie MOB. I got a chance to peep out their new
album 'World Party' the other night and I got to be
honest when I say it will be one of the best for '99.
The lp drops officially on December 21st. and it will
make a great Christmas present. One of the refreshing
aspects of Goodie Mob is that they are some thinking,
insightful, genuine brothas. During our radio interview
the other day, Khojo spoke extensively about the
importance of everyone having a spiritual grounding.
He attributed many of the problems effecting young
people is the lack of that spiritual connection. 'It
helps keep people grounded', he said. He went even
deeper when he talked about how he wish there was
constant reminder of God for young people and hence he
thought it was a mistake to take away prayers in school.
Not one to just talk and not back up their actions,
the group had spent much of the day talking with Bay
Area high school students.
Cee-Lo and Big Gipp talked about upcoming album 'World
Party'. they explained that they were inspired by the
type of love and impact they seemed to be having with
fans all over the world. This album reflects their
musical growth and they wanted to bring everyone under
one umbrella. I can't say enough about the songs I
heard, except that it is really really good. They
bucked the trend and refrained from having too many
guests emcees and special cameos. I believe I heard
a song with TLC and another track with a new artist
from their camp named 'Neckbone'. Cee-Lo said that
since the group is four deep they wanted the fans to
really get a chance to vibe and connect with them.
The only unfortunate thing about the Goodie Mob's recent
visit was the show they put on at the Justice League.
People were complaining that they left the stage way too
early. During their brief set the sound kept messing up.
They eventually got things somewhat fixed and the crowd
was starting to get into them.. It was at that point
that The Goodie Mob brought local rap stars E-40, JT The
Biggie Figga and a host of others to join them on stage.
After doing two more songs they bounced while Neckbone
and his partner finished off the set. I think their early
departure had to do with the sound not being right..

SNOOP DOGG PONOVO RADI
Snoop Dogg is making all sorts of moves these last few
weeks. First he's got his own record label kicking off
and he has a new group called The Eastsidaz. Next he just
released his autobiography which I'm just starting to read
called 'The Doggfather'. So far it's pretty interesting.
Snoop is also teaming up with the former members of NWA
to record some tracks with them. He's currently featured
on their new reunion song called 'Chin Check'. If that's
not enough Snoop is going back on the airwaves to do a
Saturday afternoon shift for Power 106 in LA. The name
of his show is called The Dogghouse. This isn't Snoop's
first stint on radio. Several years ago he knocked off
a couple of well received air shifts on 106 KMEL here
in the Bay Area. We used to do a Friday Night feature
called Westside Radio where west coast artist would host
the show. Everyone from Snoop To Ice Cube to Sir Mix-A-Lot
came through. But it was Snoop's shift that generated the
most enthusiastic response from listeners.
So now Snoop is doing radio in LA as he joins some other
noteworthy artist who are moonlighting as jocks. On rival
station, 92.3 The Beat you have Cypress Hill and their
Soul Assassins show. You have the Poetess doing a Saturday
morning slot and KRS-One dropping bombs on Sunday nights.
Dre and Ed Lover are holding down morning drive and of
course Sway & Tech are dropping bombs with their
internationally syndicated Wake Up Show. A lot of folks
don't recall that before Dre and Ed Lover made their mark
in radio or even hosted 'Yo! MTV Raps', they were part of
a group called 'Original Concept'. Sway & King Tech were
recording artists with a group called Flynamic Force.
They later dropped the name and just used the name
Sway & King Tech. In the early 90s they released a song
called 'Follow For Now' which used the beat from Man
Parrish's classic cut 'Hip Hop Be Bop'. Follow For Now
was a number one record here on the west coast.
I'm not sure of the artist holding it down on Power 106
but at one point I know they had everyone from Kurtis Blow
to YoYo If anyone is down in LA please let me know what's
up.. and also how Snoop is sounding.

Ex-LAPD Officer Is Suspect in Rapper's Slaying, Records Show
Probe: Police pursue theory that David Mack, since
convicted of bank robbery, helped arrange killing of
Notorious B.I.G.
By MATT LAIT and SCOTT GLOVER, Times Staff Writers
A former Los Angeles police officer already in prison for
bank robbery is among the suspects in the 1997 slaying
of rap star Notorious B.I.G., according to sources and
confidential LAPD documents obtained by The Times.
Among the theories investigators are pursuing is that
ex-Officer David A. Mack conspired with Death Row Records
founder Marion "Suge" Knight to arrange the contract
killing of the 24-year-old rap sensation whose real name
was Christopher Wallace, according to a former detective
on the case.
Specifically, detectives are trying to determine whether
Mack arranged for a longtime friend to carry out the
attack outside the Petersen Automotive Museum on March 9,
1997, according to sources and Los Angeles Police Department
documents. Police would not say whether they have been
able to locate or question the man they suspect of being
the gunman under that theory. He is Amir Muhammad, who
was known as Harry Billups when he and Mack were college
classmates at the University of Oregon, according to
sources and documents. Muhammad apparently dropped from
sight after visiting Mack in prison on Dec. 26, 1997.
No one has been arrested or charged in the shooting,
which some investigators believe was motivated by a
bitter bicoastal feud between Death Row and a rival
rap record label based in New York City. Eight months
ago, LAPD homicide detectives served search warrants
on several locations linked to Death Row and the man
in charge of its security.
Mack, who is serving a 14-year prison sentence for a
Nov. 6, 1997, bank holdup, has not been publicly
identified as a suspect in Wallace's slaying. But
according to sources and LAPD investigative documents,
detectives have been trying to build a case against
the former police officer for nearly two years.
Mack's attorney, Donald M. Re, rejected the notion
that Mack was involved in Wallace's slaying.
"It sounds absolutely ridiculous to me," Re said.
Knight's attorney, Robin J. Yanes, also dismissed
the theory.
"A year ago it came up and now they're recycling it
to cover their butts," Yanes said. "Suge doesn't
know" Mack.
Mack is a former partner and close friend of Rafael
Perez, the disgraced officer at the center of the
LAPD's unfolding corruption scandal. The two officers,
in fact, partied in Las Vegas two days after the bank
robbery, spending thousands of dollars. Investigators
on the LAPD corruption task force are continuing to
look for a criminal link between the two former partners.
Dispute Over Money Probed
Wallace, a 360-pound rapper who also was known to fans
as Biggie Smalls, was gunned down as his motorcade was
leaving a music industry party at the museum at
Wilshire Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue.
Eyewitnesses described the lone gunman as an African
American wearing a suit and bow tie, similar, police
say, to the attire favored by Nation of Islam members.
The assailant was driving a dark-colored Chevrolet
Impala, witnesses said. The precision with which the
attack was executed makes investigators suspect that
it was a professional assassination.
In addition to the rap feud theory, investigators
have pursued information that Wallace's death was
related to a dispute with Southside Crips gang members
in Los Angeles, who claimed that the rapper owed them
money for providing him security.
Over the past two years, the investigation has been
headed by several teams of detectives. Recently, the
pair who conducted the searches of Death Row have
retired. The two new detectives assigned to the
investigation declined comment for this story. But
sources close to the case say that neither the rap
feud angle nor the gang dispute theory has been
ruled out. The sources refused to say which theory,
if any, was being given more credence and pursued
more vigorously. Over the years, the sources said,
different detectives have not always agreed on which
investigative path to follow or on which of the open
leads might be most productive. One high-ranking police
official familiar with the case said crimes committed
within the rap music industry often are difficult
to solve because witnesses are hostile toward
authorities and fear retribution if they do cooperate.
Detectives have previously identified Knight as a key
suspect, theorizing that he may have ordered Wallace's
killing while he was in jail on a parole violation. He
currently is serving a nine-year prison sentence in
connection with an unrelated 1992 attack on two
aspiring rappers in a Hollywood recording studio. In
addition to Mack, detectives continue to look at other
possible associates of Knight in connection with
Wallace's death.
As for Mack, investigators are intrigued by several
pieces of circumstantial evidence that they believe
may tie him to the crime.
Mack came under scrutiny after his December 1997 arrest
for robbing a bank of $722,000--money that to this day
remains unaccounted for. In the wake of his arrest,
detectives received tips that Mack drove a black Impala
similar to the car seen speeding away after the Wallace
slaying. As investigators began to probe Mack's possible
involvement in the killing, they found that the officer
apparently had ties to Knight and his record label.
A friend of Mack told detectives that Mack offered to
arrange an off-duty job for him with Death Row Records.
"Mack stated the job was providing security for a . . .
wife or girlfriend . . . of [a] Death Row executive,"
according to confidential LAPD investigative notes.
A former Compton police officer who worked security for
Death Row told investigators that Mack and another LAPD
officer, Kevin Gaines, sometimes socialized in Death Row
circles. The ex-Compton officer said neither Mack nor
Gaines worked for the company's private Wrightway
Security, but rather appeared to be associates of Knight.
Mack grew up in the same Compton neighborhood as the
now-imprisoned rap executive. Since Mack's own
incarceration, sources say, he has renounced his law
enforcement background and instead claims to belong
to the same street gang, the Piru Bloods, as Knight
is reputedly associated with. Mack also boasted of
shooting people and allegedly tried to arrange a
contract killing of his former lover and co-defendant
in the bank robbery.
"The weak and those who talk too much get eliminated,"
he was quoted in court documents as saying.
When detectives searched Mack's house in connection
with the bank robbery, they found what one police
source called "a shrine" to rapper Tupac Shakur, who,
until his own slaying, was Death Row's leading artist.
Although Shakur's murder remains unsolved, police
investigators say that Knight blames Wallace and his
record label, Bad Boy Entertainment, for the crime.
As detectives delved further into Mack's possible
involvement, they noticed similarities between his work
schedule in the periods surrounding the bank robbery
and the Wallace killing. In both instances, the officer
took days off before and after the crimes, according
to sources and documents.
Then, the investigation into Mack dovetailed with an
earlier clue in the case. Several months after Wallace
was killed, but well before Mack was arrested, a
jailhouse informant told detectives that the rapper's
killer went by a "Middle East" sounding name, possibly
"Amir."
The day after Christmas 1997, Mack was visited in jail
by his longtime friend Amir Muhammad.
Composite Drawing Is Questioned
Investigators' suspicion grew when they obtained a
driver's license photo of Muhammad and it resembled
a composite sketch of Wallace's killer compiled
from descriptions given by witnesses to the murder.
The composite, drawn a day after the slaying, was
withheld from the public and differs from the one that
was provided to the media more than two weeks later.
One witness criticized the sketch that police
ultimately released, saying police added details to
the drawing that he and others never suggested.
Detectives searched for Muhammad, but many of the
addresses that came up in a background check were
either false or led to post office boxes, according to
LAPD robbery-homicide documents. Police surveillance
of some of those locations failed to find him. Numerous
attempts by The Times to locate Muhammad through public
records and a former friend were unsuccessful.
Mack, who has refused to cooperate with authorities
since his arrest in the bank robbery, was placed at
the scene of Wallace's slaying by a witness who was
riding in the rap star's motorcade, LAPD documents show.
Damien Butler, who was in the same vehicle as Wallace,
picked Mack out of a photo lineup of six men during
an April 15, 1998, meeting with LAPD homicide
detectives in New York.
"I'm sure this guy was standing just outside the door
to the museum, as we were entering into the party,"
Butler said, according to notes of the interview
obtained by The Times.
Sources associated with Bad Boy Entertainment said that
the last time LAPD investigators contacted witnesses
linked to the record label was about six months ago. At
that time, investigators again showed them a composite
sketch of the gunman, but no photographs.
Although police officials refuse to comment about the
ongoing investigation, the former Compton police officer
who worked security for Death Row said in an interview
with The Times this month that he was shown pictures of
Muhammad earlier this year, shortly after detectives
served the search warrants on the locations linked to
Death Row.
Two other sources, including a former police officer,
said they were questioned about Mack's possible role
in the rapper's killing. The ex-officer said detectives
also queried him about Mack's longtime friend and Mack's
vehicle.
A family friend of Mack who provided information to
authorities about Mack's role in the bank robbery before
being sent to prison on unrelated charges said he was
also asked about Mack's possible involvement in the Wallace
slaying. Speaking on the condition of anonymity in an
interview at Corcoran State Prison, the inmate said he
began to cooperate with investigators, but stopped when
he felt it was no longer in his interest.
According to LAPD documents, detectives seized at least
one gun belonging to Mack and had it test-fired to
determine whether the weapon matched the gun used in
Wallace's slaying. It did not, the records show.
There also are weaknesses in the circumstantial evidence
linking Mack to the rapper's killing. The jailhouse
informant who told detectives that the assailant's first
name might be Amir said it could also be Ashmir or Abraham,
police records show. Moreover, the informant said that
the gunman's true name could be Kenny or Keeky and that
the killer is a former member of the Southside Crips
street gang and at the time of the shooting belonged to
a security force connected to the Nation of Islam, a
Muslim group.
That information does not appear to match Muhammad's
background, and could in fact lend support to the theory
that the killing was the result of a dispute over money
with the Crips. At one point in the investigation, detectives
interviewed Dwayne Keith "Keefee D" Davis, a Crips member,
who also owned a Chevy Impala. Some detectives, however,
say privately that Davis is not considered a suspect.
Rumors have swirled for years in law enforcement circles
about ties between Mack and other former LAPD officers
and Death Row Records.Gaines, the officer who allegedly
attended Death Row parties with Mack, was dating Knight's
estranged wife Sharitha at the time. Gaines also was
under investigation by the LAPD's Internal Affairs
division and sported a personalized license plate on
his Mercedes-Benz reading, "ITS OK IA"--a taunt aimed
at Internal Affairs.
Gaines was shot to death March 18, 1997, during an
off-duty traffic dispute with a fellow officer who was
undercover. An investigation found that Gaines was
hostile toward the other officer, threatening to "cap"
or shoot the officer and eventually drawing a gun on
him. The other officer, Frank Lyga, was cleared in
the shooting.
Meanwhile, Perez, the ex-officer cooperating with
authorities in the ongoing corruption investigation,
does not implicate Mack in any crimes--a silence
detectives have greeted with skepticism.
