Homage to the Classics: Boogie Down Productions- My Philosophy

JPizzle — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 22:16:26 +0000

The Teacher at his absolute finest. It actually pains me that so much of this new generation has no knowledge of the pioneers nor a desire to even know. Damn, I’m sounding old!

Peace to the Gods and the Earths!

Homage To The Classics: D&D All Stars- 1,2 Pass It Remix

JPizzle — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 16:29:19 +0000

This was an epic posse cut coming from the once legendary D&D studios produced by Preemo. This is actually the remix which is less known than the original so I thought I would give that some shine. Krs-One, Mad Lion, Doug E Fresh, Fat Joe, Smif-N-Wessun & Jeru all rip it in their respective styles. Good stuff from all involved.

Buckshot and Krs-One Do The Robot!

Black Skeptik Dares Landlords to Raise Rent; Landlords Considering Following Through

seven3zero — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 12:21:28 +0000

Our buddy Matt Diamond sent us this Black Skeptik since he’s in the MTVu Freshman contest, whatever that is. I got the basic cable package so that means I don’t even get MTV2, but hey, maybe some of you have it and want to vote for this guy, who’s very fresh and could double for Rakaa’s voice double if he ever caught a nasty case of the sniffles like Inspectah Deck on 8 Diagrams.

Tracklist Review – Alchemist’s Chemical Warfare

seven3zero — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 20:53:22 +0000

*Disclaimer – Tracklist reviews are exactly that – a review of the tracklist. Anything we say about these songs (except for the ones that leaked already) is pure speculation because we haven’t heard it! This is merely an uneducated guess about what the album might sound like. This one is even more complicated because we don’t know what tracks the Alchemist is actually rapping on.

Alchemist’s Chemical Warfare tracklisting:

1. Intro
2. ALC Theme feat. Kool G Rap
3. Lose Your Life feat. Snoop Dogg, Jadakiss & Pusha T
4. Chemical Warfare feat. Eminem
5. Grand Concourse Benches feat. KRS-One
6. Therapy feat. Evidence, Blu, Talib Kweli & KiD CuDi
7. Smile feat. Twista & Maxwell
8. Keep The Heels On feat. Prodigy
9. Gangrene feat. Gangrene (Oh No & Alchemist), Roc C & Crooked I
10. Lights, Cameras, Action feat. Lil Fame
11. Some Gangster Shit feat. Fabolous
12. From Now To Then feat. Jadakiss
13. On Sight feat. Dogg Pound & Lady of Rage
14. Take A Look Back
15. That’ll Work feat. Three 6 Mafia and Juvenile

Although Alchemist has been making more Twitter posts than beats as of late, his new project is looking pretty solid, even with some repeats like “Lose Your Life” and “Therapy” that first appeared on The Cookbook. I guess it’s okay to use recipes again, but this just feels like leftovers.

“ALC Theme” features Kool G. Rap outshining Alchemist, yet has the Alc accomplishing something on his bucket list, so props for that. “ALC Theme” is a nice segueway into “Chemical Warfare,” which features Eminem rapping about the history of nuclear weapons and dirty bombs. Eh, who are we kidding? It’s really just Eminem rapping about some more pills.

“Grand Concourse Benches” has the Blastmaster KRS-One annointing the makeshift beds for the homeless as the 7,856th element of hip-hop, right behind Nike commercials and just ahead of chicken nuggets. “Smile” will actually leave you with a perplexed look on your face because it’s bad enough you can only catch Twista’s every fifth word, but then he’s paired with Maxwell, which makes a stranger combination than that time Steven Seagal and Nicholas Cage tried to shoot a movie together but ran out of things to karate chop.

“Keep the Heels On” is the most perplexing song title, considering Prodigy’s current, um, situation. Don’t make me go there!

Oh No and Al have a new group Gangrene. Not sure if/how the putrefaction of tissues could inspire a group and also a song by the group of the same name, but I’m sure they’ll tell you something about how they like to smoke green or make green or make and then smoke green, but I think they’re actually just World War I buffs paying tribute to that deadly nuisance. Word on the street is that Crooked I only appeared because Alchemist said he could use his old beats for his next series of Hip-Hop Weekly freestyles.

I have no idea what Lil’ Fame is going to rap about on “Lights, Camera, Action” but I’m guessing it’s going to have something to do with fake rappers and holding down BK, which is 100% cool with me. Here’s hoping Al doesn’t try to fill Billy Danze’s shoes on this one.

Something tells me that you could take a verse from Fab’s “Some Gangster Shit” and trade it with a verse from Jada’s “From Now to Then” and both songs would still make complete sense.

Tha Dogg Pound and Lady of Rage reunite on “On Sight.” Was RBX not available? “Take a Look Back” has Alchemist doing just that, by himself, which makes it good that he put this at the end of the album, because no one really wants to hear him rapping by himself. And I don’t know if this is true, it’s really just a rumor that I had in my head, but ever since DJ Qualls got the nod as the main producer on Hustle and Flow, Alc has been in the studio standing on his head waiting for his chance that he’s the superior producer.

Chemical Warfare, despite some repeats, will probably be the strongest compilation to drop in ’09 and that’s not just because we’re another 10 years away from getting even a glimpse at Dr. Dre’s long-awaited and soon-to-be not-anticipated Detox.

Homage to the Classics: Channel Live- Reprogram

JPizzle — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 17:30:19 +0000

Being a Jersey cat I’ve gotta rep for one of my home teams. Channel Live were one time members of Krs-One’s BDP crew and they definitely bring that classic boom-bap sound. This is just straight up hip hop in its uncut rawest forms. For those that don’t know, now you know!
