DJ Rondevu sent me his new DVD "Ghetto Penthouse" in the mail today. I'll be honest and say that i wasn't expecting much...another street DVD...seen one , seen them all right? But wait...I popped this joint in, and was glued to the TV for the entire 1hr & 26 minutes. He takes the hip hop DVD to a whole ” nother level. Crazy never seen before live shit of Sean Price, Rock (Heltah Skeltah), Das Efx

Im on that R & B tip this weekend......Producer Teddy Riley, along with Aaron Hall and Timothy Gatling invented the New Jack Swing genre with this group. Guy was great at the time when they were new school, and the're still great now that it is old school. Aaron Hall's vocals are hardbody deluxe. The beat is non-stop and just puts you in a feel good mood all around.Guy (1988){Download]1. Groove

"Never trust a big butt and a smile". If you are a 70's baby...you knew this album front to back & upsidedown. This was pure Hip Hop smoothed out, on that R & B tip, with the sex appeal. For me... No other album in the 90's brings back so many memories. A true "Summertime Classic"....Word To The Mutha!"Bel Biv Devoe - Poison[Download]1. Dope!2. B.B.D. (I Thought It Was Me)3.

A Few of My early 90's Fav's .........The Coup - Kill My Landlord (1993) Whenever I listen to this album, I think "This is the funkiest stuff ever." Boots creates irresistably groovy compositions that rely on no more than a live bass line, some drums, and some on-point piano stabs. If this album was simply instrumental, I'd buy it. But the lyrics are as impressive as the music.UMC's - Fruits Of

This Soundtrack is one of those fogotten gems of 1992. Serch of 3rd Bass was the soundtrack's executive producer...Serch approached Nasty Nas about contributing a track to the the soundtrack. and, like much of New York, had been impressed by "Live at the Barbeque." Nas submitted "Halftime," and the song so stunned Serch that he made it the soundtrack's lead-off track. The rest of the soundtrack

Nature is a unique breed of emcee, with a very special delivery (no pun intended). He's actually one of my favorites. His debut album, was somewhat genius to my hip-hop ears. I feel For All Seasons was pushed, and because of Nature's quarrel with The Firm, this album was probably altered from the original. In other words, Nature was forced to release an album he wasn't that much in control over.

Dead Prez elevate themselves through the knowledge of yesterday and its significance in the present day. The symbol in their logo comes from an ancient Chinese oracle called the I-Ching (the book of change). This system was used by the wise men and women of China some three thousand years ago, as a means of analyzing reality and perfecting the art of foresight. That process of change is

Bounty Killer was born Rodney Price in the Kingston ghetto of Trenchtown...Killer was one of the most aggressive dancehall stars of the '90s, a street-tough rude boy with an unrepentant flair for gun talk. These albums are a must for all ghetto politicians out there from the self proclaimed ghetto politician himself. The album's also show Bounty Killer holding his own under hip hop with the

When dubwise (often described as reggae's equivalent of rap) evolved into dancehall in the 1980s, Shabba Ranks became one of the style's leaders. Most dancehall has come out on small independent labels, but in the early '90s, Epic saw how popular it had become and signed Ranks. Hard-edged, abrasive and tough, As Raw as Ever thrives on rhythm. Listening to cuts like "Gun Pon Me" and "Fist-A-Ris,"

There would be no D.I.T.C. without Showbiz and A.G. The first release was an EP titled Soul Clap, released in 1992. They released their debut album, Runaway Slave, the same year. A short version of their track "Soul Clap" was included on the album, as well as past recordings such as "Fat Pockets" and "Party Groove". The posse cut "Represent" featured the first album appearance of Big L (RIP).

Coming up with the likes of Mobb Deep, Nas, Capone n Norega, Littles and Tragedy Khadafi means you better have some flow or you best keep your mouth zipped. Not only does ‘Mega have the flow, he’s got the respect. Respect from all the above and his fans worldwide.After last year’s pairing with Lakey the Kid, ‘Mega is back to the front and center. He's working on a set of all new material right

Never heard of these guys? You may recognize them as 4 of the 13 MC's on the L.O.N.S posse-cut, "Spontaneous." This crew bares a striking, but grittier resembalance to the Leaders of the New School.It's one of those NY albums that showed up and then dissapeared...and nobody seemed to notice. However, the album is classic. Overall the sound is pure gritty, early 90's NY, so any fan of that will

Back in the day we bought soundtracks from movies we loved (such as Friday) that were unto their own mostly generic in content and had little to nothing to do with the film. Based on the platinum success of these soundtracks, greedy record executives figured that hip-hop soundtracks were the newest way to cash in on an unsuspecting public.This is not to say all hip-hop soundtracks are bullshit,

Long Island has raised a couple of rap legends up through the years. Rakim and the whole Public Enemy are originally from that area.

In just about every way imaginable, movies have been an integral part of hip-hop from the very beginning of the genre's rise. With the movie and soundtrack successes of Boyz N' Da Hood, Juice, Menace II Society, and other urban flavored movies, the hip hop movie soundtrack explosion of the 90's came on strong. It even got to a point where there were a few terrible movies released for the sole

Premo is known for combining small vocal portions from multiple artists to make one hook on a track he is producing. This creative technique has made him one of the most sought after producers in Hip-Hop history. DJ Premier's name refers to his claim to be the first and the best in his style. His original stage name was Wax-Master C, the "C" coming from his real name Christopher Martin.DJ Premier

Why is it that when headz debate on who's the dopest rapper Redman never pops up in the conversation? Yea..he's a party rapper & he has never made a 5 Mic album...but to me Red is the most underated MC in the game. Some can argue he was the most consistant cat in the game since 1990. Ive always been a big fan of Reggie Noble & his tracks fit just right when u light up that blunt, sit back, &

I'm short on time tonight so i have to make this quick...If you have never had a chance to peep this self titled album from Broken English Klik, then you are str8 sleepin on some serious grimey hardcore from it's begining. Dope beats & hardcore 90's lyrics at it's finest...this album brings me back to the days of spending my lunch money on a 64 oz of Old English and gettin crazy with my boys

In a sea of weak compilations, the D&D Project's are a shark to be watched for. Comming straight from the source, pure hip-hop's home, the legendary D&D Studio's, these album's bring the raw energy that has been missing in rap music. This time it showcases some of the young lable's fresh talent matched up over some of the best producers in the business. DJ Premier, the Beatminerz, Diamond D,

"Although I hit a pound of herbs I'm still nice with the verbs......So fuck what you heard" Diamond D has long been one of the nicest producers in hip hop. The beats & loops he brings to the table are 9 times out 10 on fire. I will even check an album just because he was involved with it. Back in 1992 D came out with his debut album 'Stunts, Blunts, & Hip Hop', and blew everyone out the water. As

2006 was a year of overantisipated & disappointing mainstream releases (Busta, Method Man, DMX, ect.) Thats why sometimes you have to dig deep into the underground to get your Hip Hop fix.

Brooklyn, New York's Antonio Hardy AKA Big Daddy Kane was an original hip hop pioneer growing up in the Bed-Stuy section of Brooklyn. One of my top 10 MC's of all time...Kane was one of the first to come hard & raw on his tracks. His first 2 albums are str8 up classic material. It's sad to say he got soft after that. He still shown some great lyrical ability and at certain times on his later

In my opinion Buckwild has long been both the most reliable AND the most diverse member of the DITC crew when it comes to knocking out a tune. Anyone listening in the early 90s can tell you what a Diamond D track sounds like or what a typical Lord Finesse beat will do, but can you really tell me OC's classic "Times Up" shares much sonically with Black Rob's "Woah"? Like LL says, I don'think so.

Philadelphia has produced a few of the most hard-edged rappers, including Schoolly D and Kurupt. DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince were one of the first to put Philly on the map. The Roots have also been followed by underground fans since the mid-1990s.

Many won't remember Common's first LP mainly because it wasn't heavily promoted. I bought the album after seeing the video for "Take It EZ" on The Box back in 1992 (that song and video are super tight). With production handled by Immenslope and Twilite Tone (The Beatnuts produce one track), a young Common (known as Common Sense at the time) rips track after track with a unique style and a

Without question the most intelligent, artistic rap group during the 1990s, A Tribe Called Quest jump-started and perfected the hip-hop alternative to hardcore and gangsta rap. In essence, they abandoned the macho posturing rap music had been constructed upon, and focused instead on abstract philosophy and message tracks. The "sucka MC" theme had never been completely ignored in hip-hop, but

Hard to belive these classic tracks are almost 17 years old. 1990 was when hip hop was so pure & new. It was also the first year i first really got into hip hop. Cube was beefin with NWA....PE was beefin with the Govenment. Brand Nubian & PRT were teachin us about the 5% nation. Damn I miss those days! I guess thats why they call them hip hops golden years. These are just a few of my favorite

Sometimes you can tell when a rapper has what it takes. It's a special attitude, some even call it a swagger. But it's more than just that. They don't have to convince you of how dope they are either you know and recognize, or you don't (and then in that case, keep it moving!). Uncle Murda is that dude. He doesn't tell you how great he is, he just raps. I usually don't post mixtapes but

In 1998 hip hop veterans Mos Def and Talib Kwelli collaborated under the name Black Star and released what many consider some of the best work of both emcees. A majority of this classic is produced by Dj Hi-Tek along with tracks by Mr. Walt of Da Beatminerz and others. Common also contributes to the single "Respirtation". Highly recomended album.DOWNLOAD
