Sewing Machine

New mix is done.

Like all my mixes you can expect some dope tunes, hard beats, not quite perfect mixing and cutting as well as tunes you know and some you might not. This time around I decided to add some UK Hip Hop. There are some new joints and some old ones you might have missed.

As with the last two mixes I have dedicated the mix to a character from 'The Wire'. 'Slow Flow' was for Omar, 'A Code' for The Bunk. This mix is for Slim Charles. I thought for a while who to chose this time and a few lines I remembered of his convinced me to go for the man who really moved with the changing times.

Sewing Machine - DJ Two Hands

01 - Heltah Skeltah - The Art of Disrespekinazation
02 - Sadat X Feat KRS-One & Rahzel -Blow Up Da Spot
03 - Chester P - Suicide Switch

05 - Kid Cudi Feat Wale - Is There Any Love
06 - Cool Kids - Blackmags

15 - klashnekoff ft. Skriblah & Kyza - Sayonara

Enjoy.

Randomness is next to godliness

No Rhyme or Reason to today's post, just some random joints for your listening pleasure.


The first one I meant to post a while ago but never got around to it and I'm a little excited about this one. You get 5 mixes of Hickeys, but the real treat here is the B-side heater "Milk Does The Body Good". This one definitely shoulda been on the Slow Flow mix. Audio Two - Hickeys Around My Neck 12"




"TV stars, Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, her brother Michael, feeling babies for some rectum action" Tim Dog & Kool Keith sounding a little disrespectful over beats by Kut Masta Kurt & Evidence. Vurrry goood. Ultra - Industry Is Wack 12"




Really really dope comp of old mostly Hobo Junction stuff. Oooh! Ya know ya can't front on the style. Lots of Saafir & a Casual song I'd never heard before (keep ya hands off it Dan, I'm using it on my next mix!) Southpaw Records - Cheapshots, Low Blows & Sucker Punches EP





I don't remember where I heard this first, but I'm always surprised at how many people don't know it. The original is dope, but the addition of De La Soul alongside Da Babees & The Mighty Mos pushes it over the top. Beats & acapella incl.
Da Bush Babees - The Love Song Remix 12"





I uploaded this one just for the Vast Aire joint, but the LoDeck & Zion I joints are nice too, all produced by DJ Ese & Hipsta. Back when the internet was just a baby I searched far and wide for pretty much any mixtapes I could find & I ordered a bunch. A few really sucked, but the Ese & Hipsta tape stood out & I still bump it today. Various Artists - Embedded Studios 12"




Finally, a somewhat hard to find Pharoahe Monch & DJ Spinna single from 2000 I think. Like the other stuff posted here today, this is probably not gonna get a lot of run in the clubs. Pharoahe Monch - Tooley Crew Personified 12"

Strange and I like it.

The Boogie Monsters have always been a favorite group of mine. In 1993 the amount of good Hip Hop that was coming out was vast. So much good stuff was coming out that some things got a little passed over. The Boogie Monsters never really achieved great success. Their first album has got longevity. I still draw for it and listen to is all the way through, rare with Hip Hop albums these days.

What is it about the Monsters that I like so much? Hmmm, not really sure. It's not as hardcore as I tend to go for. There is even singing on quite a few of the tracks! I have never been a fan of singing on Hip Hop tracks. There is not a heavy DJ presence on the album, not much cutting. The music is more melodical than I usually go for. Quite busy and multi layered tracks. It has a strong Christian message, not something I look for in a great LP. So, Why do I like it?

The beats are still dope. The lyrics are great. Good enough for me. 'Recognized Thresholds Of Negative Stress' was the first song I heard and was the first single. I love this track still and try to sneak into sets as often as possible and even when it clears the dance floor. "Mark of the Beast' feels a bit like an early Fugees song. But, A real favorite tune is 'Old Man Jacob's Well'. In this one an old child killing psycho's tale of how he kills his latest kid is told from his (Jacob) and the kids points of view. Dark. Very dark but done so well.

Strange is a good way to describe the album but as the song says, 'Strange, and I like it'. At the time it came out I think lots of people thought it was a bit too weird. More still think it's too odd. I like it.

So here is the LP - Riders Of The Storm: The Underwater Album

A1 Jugganauts (5:14)
A2 Recognized Thresholds Of Negative Stress (5:41)
A3 Boogie (3:53)
A4 Muzic Appreciation (Sweet Music) (2:33)

A6 Altered States Of Consciousness (4:33)
B1 Honeydips In Gotham (4:17)
B2 Strange (4:04)
B3 Old Man Jacob's Well (5:39)
B4 Bronx Bombas (3:20)
B5 Salt Water Taffy (Slo Jam) (4:24)
B6 Riders Of The Storm (5:03)

Filth

I have never really been a Police hater. I have had a few run-ins with the police. Nothing serious. I have also had some good experiences with Police where they helped in times of need.

I'm not about to say the only good cop is a dead cop but I have had a fresh look at the nasty side of the Filth. I'd like to say peace to my Homie Ari. This post is dedicated to you.

A Romantic At Heart

Yes, you will be aware of my hardcore ghetto credentials from just a brief perusal of this blog. I am however, a romantic Rapnerd too.

Due to the fact that my lady is leaving to go traveling for some time to the rugged world of Central and South America, I have chosen to post some of my favorite romantic Hip Hop videos. Some don't have videos, sorry.

Here is my Top 10 Dedecated to the love of my life, in reverse order.

10 - Lots Of Lovin - Pete Rock and CL Smooth. A classic piece of cheese that might send you crackers.

Pete Rock & Cl Smooth ~ Lots of Lovin


9 - Tonite's Da Nite - Redman. Thug Lovin in it's highest form.



8 - Simon Says - Pharoahe Monch. "Yeah, I said it, Rub on your titties!"

7 - Prince Charming - Brother Ali. Sorry no Video but she loves this one so much and I always thought of myself as quite the prince charming!



6 - Camay - Ghostface Killah. "Oh you sexy mutha F%&#% God Damn what's the recipe, you make a N*&$# wanna...GOD DAMN!"



5 - Dry Cry - Sizzla. Not Hip Hop. No Video. Who cares! Big Tune!



4 - Ms Fat Booty - MOS DEF. "Ass so fat that you can see it from the front!"



3 - Witness - Roots Manuva. Funny Video. Witness the fitness!



2 - I'll Be There For You - Method Man FT Mary J Blige. What more can I say?



1 - The Light - Common. Yes, you are my light.

To My Light! I'll miss you.

Milk

For the wacktose intolerant here is a little treat. Not Harvey but Milk Dee!




Ever since I heard Audio 2 - Top Billin and the infectious voice screaming all over that joint I was a fan of Milk.
Milk Dee, older brother to another old school favorite of mine MC Lyte, started off in Audio Two with his brother DJ Gizmo.

While the early Audio Two stuff was nice my favorite was the 1994 release "Never Dated". This EP was released under the name Milk, featuring Ad Rock from the Beasties had some super dope tunes on it.

Spam was the track with Ad Rock, "Fire, my voice gets higher and higher (voice cracks), you said I'm not the man, ya God damn liar!". I love the simple beat and back and forth between 'This white boy' and 'This black guy'

I do like all the tracks on this EP but my favorite by far is "Go to Hell!" This track really shows Milk Dee for me. He is so cock sure that he doesn't even rhyme most of the lyrics. Funny coz when I was rocking it a lot as a kid, my friend said, 'That's nice but he doesn't even make the lyrics rhyme' like it was a bad thing!
That simply made me like it even more and worry about my listening skills because I didn't actually reailise that his shit wasn't rhyming. The way he drops his lyrics is so dope I never even thought that he needed to make it rhyme.

"Ask Me How Thick" has the classic line, for me at least, "I gets papes daily, every day".

For the rapnerds this is classic business. I found the EP and then Drizzle/Agnew found the Spam 12" for me later so I will add that for you lucky listeners. I am still looking for the "Get Off My Log" 12 however!



Milk - Never Dated

01 Intro
02 Get Off My Log
03 Laid & Paid II
04 Spam
05 Rude and Cocky
06 Go To Hell

08 Don't Blow Smoke

Interview 2 - Fat Lace

We make the shit wild hot

Ah, soundtracks. Almost never worth buying, usually not even worth the effort of a download. This time, it's worth it, although a 12" with Wild Hot on the A with Bring it Back on the flip-flop would've been MUCH better than the rest of the filler on here.

5 Footers Rippin the Party Apart

Yo, Nerds.

It has been a while since I got mad nerdy on you fools. I am back and nerdy as ever with a super combo piece. Peace to Agnew/drizzle for holding it down while I was sleeping!

So, today's topic is 5 footer's ripping the party apart. So for those who don't really remember Phife's lyrics that well, that means short rappers who tear up the mic!

Not only your favorite short MC's, but we are gonna go even nerdier and break them down into a football/soccer team line up! Ya get me!

I have gone with the classic 4-4-2 line up to suit these guys.

1-Guru - GK ('It's mostly the voice' MC was never too extroverted or wild but as reliable as they come, just what you need between the posts)

2-Keith Murry - RB (The beef curry bringing some spice to the right wing attacks. On the overlap he has been described as the most beautiful thing)

3-Fredro Star - CD (Hard in the challenge. Quick to Slam opposition strikers into the advertising boards)

4-Sticky Fingerz -CD (Forming a great pairing in the middle with ONYX member Fredo, Sticky Fingerz known for making strikers BACDAFUCUP)

5-Prodigy - LB (Not Wayne but Queens Bridge repping hard on the left making wingers SHOOK ONES)

6-Buckshot - RW (Rolling from left to right then front to back, sure to get cha open)

7-Rakim - IM (Hip Hop Pele controling the midfield, he ain't no joke)

8-Bushwick Bill -IM (The Texan's twists and turns are sure to have oppnent's mind's playing tricks on them)

9-Phife Dogg - LW (The greatest 5 footer ripping pitches apart. Yes, he can kick it)

10-Black Thought - FW (Philly's very own Maradonna is always in the eye of the storm when the pressure's on)

11-Ludacris - FW (Unpredictable and off the hook. Heard to scream at defenders "Move bitch, get out the way")

Bench:
Sonsee
Too $hort
Lil' Kim

Manager:
Snoop Dogg

Peace
