BuDD@H BLe$$eD PReSeNTs - "The LaDy Of RaGe: STReeTs Of RaGe"...

I was an instant fan of The Lady Of Rage as soon as I heard the opening lines from her hit single "Afro Puffs"...

"I rock on with my bad self `cuz it`s a must
It`s the Lady Of Rage still kickin` up dust
So umm, let me loosen up my bra strap
And umm, let me boost ya with my raw rap
`Cuz I`ma break it down to the nitty~gritty one time
When it comes to the lyrics I gets busy with mine"...

She sure does...workin` with KaTS like Chubb Rock, L.A. Posse, Dr. Dre, Snoop, Daz, Kurupt, 2Pac, Bad Azz, Gangstarr etc. Now folkS tell me that she was discovered by the Chubbster, but I`ve also been told that she was down with a crew called The Outlaw Posse consisting of Unique, Kilo & Shahkim who happened to have a production deal with The L.A. Posse at the time. After networkin` with The Outlaw Posse & The L.A. Posse she ended up working on the 1991 L.A. Posse album "They Come In All Colors", around the same time she also had an uncredited appearance as Rockin` Robin on "Bring `Em Home Safely" a track from Chubb Rock`s "The One" album...

Apparently Dr. Dre heard her work on The L.A. Posse album & that`s when Suge Knight called her up & convinced her to head to L.A....we all know what happened then, she signed to Death Row Records & put in work on some CLaSSiC albums, mainly Dr. Dre`s "The Chronic", Snoop Dogg`s "Doggstyle" & the "Above The Rim Soundtrack" which featured "Afro Puffs". She dropped her solo debut in 1997 titled "Necessary Roughness", a year later she left Death Row & the music industry to focus on acting. It paid off, she ended up landing the role as Coretta Cox on the Steve Harvey Show...

Well that`s all I know about homegirl, it really is a shame that Death Row waited so long to release her solo joint. It should`ve dropped around the same time as the "Above The Rim Soundtrack" did to capitalize off the buzz "Afro Puffs" had, but that`s another story. So here`s a lil` Lady Of Rage mix I put together a few days ago. It`s a good collection of her tracks, I just couldn`t find that L.A. Posse album so that`s really all that`s missing. BiG uPs to my lil` bro` for workin` on the cover for me, anyway check out the mix...

"WeLCoMe To DeaTH RoW"...

This flick`s gotta be one of the better documentaries on Death Row Records, it gets an easy 3.5 out of 5 from me. Now of course Tha Row`s story has been covered many times, but it`s the way writer/ director Jeff Scheftel put it together. All the info` that`s shared with the viewer is great, lots of behind the scene ish. It`s Murphy`s Law...great empires fall & Tha Row hit with a tremendous impact when they finally reached rock bottom. It`s all covered in this movie, so check it out...

"The CoMe uP: She GoT BooTy EDiTioN"...

Being the man that I am, one of the few weaknesses I have is the love for a nice phat ass (on a woman this is, don`t get it twisted:), so that`s basically what possessed me to post up this joint. It`s nothing really all that spectacular, however it does have Buffie "The Body" & Deelishis (Flava Of Love fame) hosting & it also features 50 of the sexiest skrippaz, pole dancers, models & rump-shakers -- really that`s all I need to say...

J.J. FaD`s "SuPeRSoNiC"...

Takin` it back with J.J. Fad`s "Supersonic", their debut album -- also the title to their one & only hit. Listening to the album now you can almost point out the place & time that the music was created; Nineteen-Eighty-Eight in Los Angeles...bringin` to mind of course N.W.A. -- surprising to some N.W.A.`s production team, consisting of DJ Yella, Dr. Dre & the Arabian Prince, produced the bulk of the album. Production~wise it`s almost like they were paying homage to their West Coast Electro~Rap roots from the mid~`80's, but the beatS are perfect mesh for Sassy C, MC J.B. & Baby D`s style & flow. Aside from the couple of Pop~vibe`D tracks this joint`s definitely worth a listen if you`d like to take a lil` step back into the Ol` School...

"SouTH CeNTRaL"...[MoViE]

Here`s a 'hood~flick' from the early `90's that doesn`t really get much light, overshadowed by "Boyz N The Hood", "New Jack City" & "Menace II Society". It may have something to do with the fact that it`s more emotional, not shoot `em up BaNG~BaNG...LoL, anyways the movie takes place in L.A. & opens up with young Bobby Johnson (Glenn Plummer...think Parnell in "Menace II Society") BouNCiN` from jail. After getting into some BeeF with Genie Lamp, a local DRuG~JuGGLeR, Johnson CaPS Genie`s Lamp. He stays on the low for a couple of months, then decides to roll out with a few other fellow Deuce gang MeMBeRS. Along the way, unfortunately for them, they happen to pick up an undercover cop who ends up BuST`n them for possession...

While Johnson`s being questioned by the PoRK~CHoP PaTRoL the newly proclaimed O.G's FiNGeRPRiNTS are match`D to the PRiNTS on the silencer & gun he used to murk Genie. STiCK`n to the code of the STReeTS he takes all the heat & ends up having to serve a dime (10 yearS) in prison. It`s while locked up he finds one of his ol` Deuce HoMieS, Loco & he tells Johnson that his own son, Jimmie is becoming a member of Deuce, stealing stereos for Ray Ray, the leader of the Deuce gang. Johnson has to fight in order to try & get his son out of the gang Life, to keep him from making the same mistakes he did. He has to convince Jimmie that being in a gang, everything that he lived his Life for, is not worth the price you pay...

MaRVaLeSS` "GHeTTo BLueS"...

First off I`ve gotta BiG uP my homie Denis (BuST The FaCTs baby....LoL) for link`N me up with the album! I`d been lookin` for some of Marvaless` music for the longest time, but could never come across it. So once I finally got a chance to listen to her debut album ya know I just had to roll up some Buddah & take it in. For those that don`t know about Ms. Marva Jean she`s repp`N Sacramento, California & she was down with AWOL Records for her first few releases; her debut `94's "Ghetto Blues", `95's "Just Marvaless" & `96's "Wiccked". Her style`s more on the 'HaRDCoRe' side of things, but she brings her own distinct style & flow. She`s also worked with artists such as C-Bo, Lunasicc, Mac Mall, 2Pac (R.i.P.), Conscious Daughters & was even on Master P`s "West Coast Bad Boyz" compilation. So far this is the only album I`ve heard from her, but she does have a decent discog`, about 6 or 7 albums under her belt...

So without any more delay, here`s Marvaless` first album...

Marvaless - Ghetto Blues

6. Can`t Stand The Heat {ft. C-Bo} (5:05)
7. Don`t Cross Me (4:22)
8. Another Dead Nigga (3:32)
9. Female Assassin (4:49)
10. Shouts Out (5:54)

"The MaCk"...[MoVie]

The Mack
Released: 1973

After watch this joint it`s pretty easy to see the influence that it`s had on the HiP HoP culture & those that represent it, from the emcees/rapper$, DJ`s & B-BoyS/GiRLS to the regular JillS & JoeS that cop the albumS & go to the concertS. Right off the top rapper$ like Snoop Dogg & Too $hort come to my mind, especially the latter seeing as how the movie was filmed on location in Oakland, California. $hort`s in my opinion sort of like HiP HoP`s "Mack".....LoL, but honestly I`m not wrong if ya really look at thingS. Anyway, what`s iLL about this flick is that much like early HiP HoP music it`s got that real grimy~grittiness to it, which is something that Michael Campus (Director) wouldn`t have been able to capture working on a soundstage...

Max Julien plays the role of "Goldie", Richard Pryor plays "Slim" & at the beginning of the flick they`re caught up in some junkyard gun~play. Outnumbered "Goldie" tellS "Slim" to get to KiCK`n rockS, he escapes but "Goldie" endS up in the pen` to serve a nickel (that`s 5 yearS for you squareS :). Once released he tries to piece his Life back together & visits his bro` "Olinga" (molded after Huey Long), played by Roger E. Mosley. "Goldie" comes to the revelation that he`s got 2 choices; the way of "The Mack" or that of his bro`s. Obviously he chooses the first, connecting up with "Slim" once again while takin` in some Obi Wan Kenobi~type PiMP`n wisdom jewelS from an older blind man, played by Paul Harris -- "Magnum P.I." mu` fuckas....LoL

Now that`s all I`m gon` say about the movie `cuz I`m not trying to ruin it for y`all, just remember to use to trick I mentioned in the Snoop movie post to avoid all that pop up & clickin` ish...
