E-A SKi`s "1 STeP AHeaD Of YaLL [EP]"...

Here`s some more of that early 1992 E-A Ski ish, this joint was released on No Limit Records. If I`m not mistaken the cassette version of this EP has only 8 tracks, "Just For The Radio" is added as a bonus track on the CD release. Overall the EP is pretty solid all the way thru, good beats & a decent range of topics are covered lyrically. Stand~out joints (my opinion of course), "1 Step Ahead Of Yall", "Mama Used To Say" & "Listen To The Hit". After I had already uploaded this I noticed that the file contains 10 tracks & the order is a lil` jack`D up, my apologies. To correct it all ya need to do is delete track 9 "Mama Used To Say" (cuz it`s the same as track 4 "Mama Used To Say") & rename "Just For The Radio" so it`s actually track 9....LoL, apparently I was a bit on the BuZZ`d side when I put this one together, oh well check it out & enjoy...

SLiCK RiCK`s "The RuLeR`s ReMiXeS [BooTLeG]"...

Here`s another one of them Slick Rick BooTLeGs, but you know how I do. I`m a BiG Slick Rick fan so I had to share it with y`all. My homie DiRTy KooL AiD told me it`s a 12", but I haven`t been able to find any info` out there on it -- so I gotta conclude that it`s on the BooTLeG tip. Either way it`s pretty DoPe, especially if you`re really into the instrumentals...

DJ Dee-ViLLe PReSeNTs - "T La RoCK: SuPeR RaPPeR"...

Another mix I`ve been BuMP`n is this one from DJ Dee-Ville. It`s a real nice collection of the more rare joints that T La Rock has released. For those that don`t know of T La Rock I`ll give ya a lil` brief rundown, He`s the older brother of Special K (of Treacherous Three). His roots go deep with this HiP HoP ish, he`s been around since it`s birth being both an MC & a DJ in the early 1970's. Some argue that his 1984 single "It`s Yours" is the first Def Jam Recordings release, but the fact is that it was the first single to carry the Def Jam logo. However Rick Rubin actually released it thru Arthur Baker`s Independent Partytime Records, the HiP HoP division of his Dance Music label Streetwise Records...


Due to the BuZZ that his single "It`s Yours" was receiving Fresh/ Sleeping Bag Records signed T La Rock & he released 2 albums with the label. The first came in 1987 & was titled "Lyrical King (From The Boogie Down Bronx)". DJ Louie Lou (who was T La Rock`s original DJ), Kurtis Mantronik & T La Rock himself handled the production for the album. The second album titled "On A Warpath" was released in 1989 & had Todd Terry handling the production duties...


After the second album he kind of dropped out of the spotlight for a while, then things took a turn for the worst. Sometime in 1994 while T La Rock was attempting to break up a fight that had occurred in the front of his brother`s apartment building in the Bronx he was hit in the head & as a result suffered a traumatic brain injury that nearly killed him. He spent the next few years in therapy to help him recover from the loss of motor~skills & memory loss. All the hard work paid off because he`s recovered & has been on stage preforming for crowds...


Anyway I need to BiG uP DJ Dee-Ville for taking the time to put this collection together. Just wanted to mention to y`all that this joint is almost 140 mins. long so unfortunately it won`t fit on a CD so this is one for the i-Pod or ya` MP3 Players.....LoL, another thing -- it`s all one file. Regardless if you`re a T La Rock fan this one`s definitely worth checkin`...

DJ CaSH MoNeY`s "WKiS: GueSS WHo`S CoMiN` To DiNNeR"...

Been listening to this mixtape/ mix~disc for a few weeks now, it comes courtesy of DJ Cash Money. He`s reppin` Philadelphia & is the first inductee to the DJ Hall Of Fame (correct me if I`m wrong!). In the early 1980's he came up on the Philly HiP HoP scene along with DJ Jazzy Jeff. They DJ`d parties together as the Kings Of Spin & even had a lil` friendly rivalry. While workin` together they both perfected the 'Transformers Scratch' (folks tend to forget about Cash Money`s role), which sounds like the robots from the 1980's Transformers cartoon. It`s also been said that Cash Money is the creator of the 'Chirp Scratch' as well as the 'Pee Wee Herman Scratch'. He partnered up with MC Marvelous & in 1988 they released the single "Ugly People Be Quiet". Shortly after the single they dropped the album "Where`s The Party At?" on Sleeping Bag Records, an album you`ll see here soon enough...

Anyway, that`s pretty much all I know about him so I`ll just tell ya a lil` bit about the mixtape. He definitely brings some heat with this mix, sure it`s not newly released it`s actually from 1996, but the ish is DoPe regardless! Not only does he wreck it on the 1`s & 2`s with an iLL selection of tracks, but he also brings a lil` humor with the commercials. However the best thing about this (in my ears...LoL) is the exclusive freestyles on track 6 from Bahamadia, Q-Tip, Busta Rhymes, Phife, The Roots & Biz Markie. So do ya`self a favor & check this joint out...

SoLĂ©`s "SKiN DeeP"...



My apologies, I have been slackin` with the posts dedicated to the Females Of HiP HoP so to get back into the swing of things here`s some Solé for y`all. Now for those not familiar with Solé just close ya` eyes & think back to the summer of 1999 when J.T. Money`s hit single "Who Dat" was BuMP`n thru many folks` speakers. It`s catchy hook & poundin` beat had many folks sayin` "Iy Yi Yi Yi".....LoL










Well if you do remember the song then you remember that there was a woman featured on the track alongside J.T. Money & her name was Solé. Fresh off the buzz of her feature on J.T. Money`s #1 hit she signed with DreamWorks Records & began to work on her debut album. September of 1999 came & Solé unleashed "Skin Deep" onto the world...



The album didn`t do the greatest sales~wise, however it did spawn to hit singles. The first of the 2 singles was "4, 5, 6" which features J.T. Money returning the favor of a guess verse as well as Kandi...






The second single was "It Wasn`t Me" featuring J. Weav...









Here`s an interview Jay Cameron did with Solé (Part 1)...




Here`s part 2 of that interview...





Since her album`s dropped Solé has been relatively quiet. Well, she did have a few guest appearances on records from Kane & Abel ("Straight Thuggin`"), Tech N9ne ("Clueless"), Terry Dexter ("Better Than Me [Mario Winans Rmx]"), Tyrese ("Get Up On It"), The Isley Brothers ("Contagious [Mercenary Mix]"), Don Juan ("Costa Nostra") & her husband Ginuwine ("Sex"). The last of the tracks being in 2003, however there`s some rumors floating around that Solé's been at work on her sophomore album, so who knows. Anyway, go `head & check out the tunes...

Here`s some good ol` Bay Area HiP HoP for y`all from 2 individuals that are really overlook`D in my book! So much so that I couldn`t find a whole lot of info` on `em. Rappin` Ron & Ant Diddley Dog were at one point down with Too $hort`s Dangerous Crew (check Too $hort`s "Get In Where You Fit In") as well as Cell Block Records & are probably most remembered for their hit "Smokin` Season". Unfortunately Rappin` Ron is no longer with us, in 1997 he passed away from a car accident. While on his way home from a hard day`s work he fell asleep at the wheel & crashed. If you`re at all curious, I definitely suggest you take the time to check this album out...

SLiCK RiCK`s "The ArT Of SToRy TeLLiNG [ADVaNCe]"...

"Now here`s a lil` somethin` that needs to be heard"...

Honestly y`all I didn`t know about this version of Slick Rick`s "The Art Of Story Telling" until I heard my homie MaRSuPiaL BuMP`n it at his crib the other day. So being the BiG Slick Rick fan that I am I borrowed it to copy...& well, share it with y`all folks that are curious enough to want to listen. I`m guessing it`s what the album was going to be, but for whatever reasons there were slight changes made at the last moment before it was released. Anyway, I`ll just mention the differences that I`ve noticed after a listen...







Right away you`ll notice that the first track "Jail Skit" doesn`t feature Redman like the retail`s version, but instead features Nas & there`s also someone else who I can`t put my finger on at the moment, but he`s after Rev. Run & just before Nas (school me y`all). Track 6, the "Bugsy Radio [Skit]" is a lil` different as well. If you listen closely the background music is the beginning of "Unify", that`s not the case on the retail. Track 12 features Q-Tip & Wyclef unlike the retail`s version that has Q-Tip & Peter Gunz. You`ll also notice that the track "Fresh" featuring J.D. (originally released on J.D`s 1998 album "Life In 1472") is included...







Then there`s the "Rick & Wyclef [Skit]" that appears just before "Memories". Wyclef welcomes Slick Rick home (from jail) & asks Rick to drop that "Memories" joint & tells folks not to bootleg Rick`s music....LoL, "Unify" with Snoop Dogg sounds more like a freestyled version of the track that`s on the retail release. Track 21 "I Sparkle" doesn`t appear on the retail version, I believe that the track was release on a 12" though. The version of "I Own America Part 2" is also a lil` bit different than the retail version, this one has a woman signing all thru the track. Gotta say that I prefer the one that`s on the retail album. The only other difference between the Advance & the Retail is that the Advance version doesn`t have the "CEO Outro" & the retail bonus tracks; "We Turn It On", "La Di Da Di [Live]" or "The Show [Live]". So there y`all have it, now check it out & enjoy...
