BuDD@H BLe$$eD EnT. PReSeNTs: "Da LaDieZ iN Tha HouSe VoL. 1"...

Last weekend I was a lil` on the bored side so I decided to put together a lil` mix to RePReSeNT for the LaDieZ of HiP HoP. I wanted to showcase the talent that these women possess, especially since at least 90% of the women on this mix can rock the mic just as good if not better than most of their male counterparts, but they never truly get their PRoPs. Hopefully this joint does `em some justice! It was a bit on the hard side to cut the tracklist down to fit on a CD, so you can expect to see future volumes. Feel free to leave some feedback, even a list of some artists or tracks for future jointS...

GHeTTo CoNCePT`s SeLF TiTLeD ALBuM...

It was `96 when I first heard some ish from Toronto`s Ghetto Concept, the crew reppin` their Rexdale neighborhood roots. The track was the Juno Award winning "E-Z On Tha Motion". In fact to this day it`s still my favorite track of their`s, I just love the smooth`D out Jazzy vibe...

For those that aren`t up on G.C. I`ll school ya....LoL, or at least I`ll give it a try. Ghetto Concept as a group originally consisted of 3 members; Kwajo Cinqo, Dolo & Infinite. They formed the group sometime around 1989, competing in local Rap contests at community centers & cipherin` at block partieS. Then 1992 they hooked up with entrepeneur Julien Arthur & released their first single "Certified" on the indy label Groove-a-Lot Records. In 1994 things started to spark off for G.C., they won a Juno Award (it`s like the Grammy`s Canadian cousin) for "Certified" & earned another the following year for "E-Z On Tha Motion". Just when things were really starting to PoP off however, Infinite`s brother was murdered in `95 & he left the group a lil` while after. Before his exit from Ghetto Concept though the crew recorded "Much Love", a tribute to Infinite`s brother. It was later released as a single with a music video as well...

Infinite ended up going for dolo, releasing an EP titled "360 Degrees" in 1998 (Read all about homie & the EP right here.) while the remaining duo released their self titled debut album thru 7 Bill$ Entertaiment. A label/ company that they had formed together in 1996. The "7 Bill$" moniker represents the fact that G.C.`s tryin` to stack chipS in the 7~figure range to help get their families & communities out of the struggle...

“This isn’t just for us”, says lyricist Kwajo, “we started 7 Bill$ Entertainment for Angel Duss, Blacks, Ray Smoove. We have mad people comin` up with us...”

Mad people is true, and some of them are featured all on the self titled Ghetto Concept album. Stand out jointS for me are "Precious Metals", "7 Days", "Krazy World" & "Blades Of Ice". So give it a listen for ya`self & experience Ghetto Concept at their hungriest ...

Bored...doin` a lil` web surfin` I came across this lil` clip of one of the iLLeST Ottawa Senators games period! I can still remember watchin` the game on TV a few years ago. The last few minutes of it were straight action packed with fights! At one point even the goaltenders start throwin` punches at each other, check it out...

CRU`s "Da DiRTy 30"...

OVeRLooK`D CLaSSiC are the 2 wordS that come to my mind when anyone SPeaKS on CRU`s "Da Dirty 30" album. They originally went by the name Rhythm Blunt Cru (I`m actually looking for the "Rhythm Blunt Cru" [12 inch] if anyone could link that up I`d greatly appreciate it!) but apparently Mr. Russel Simmons wasn`t really feeling that so they cut it down to CRU. Repp`N the Bronx, CRU consisted of 3 members rapper Chadeeo, producer/ rapper Yogi & hype~man The Mighty Ha. They dropp`D "Da Dirty 30" in 1997, the album`s title referenced the district where these KaTs were from -- that & the fact that it had 30 trackS on it. Yogi handled the entire album`s production, dropp`N some good ol` New York BooM BaP beatS for that ass! While Tracey Lee ("it`s Party Time..."), a MaD HuNGRy sound`N Black Rob, The Lox, always iLL Ras Kass, storytellin` Slick Rick & even "The Gangstress" herself, Antoinette all show up for some DoPe featureS...

Even though this trio laced the HiP HoP WoRLD with some DoPe music their album sales weren`t all that great, so I`m guessin` that they were dropp`D from the label. However they had a track appearance ("Ohh Wee") on "Violator: The Album" a Violator Records compilation that was released in 1999. After that there`s been nothing but silence from the CRU. Yogi`s still doin` a lil` production though, he did a couple jointS for Method Man`s "Tical 0: The Prequel". O`TaY, that`s enough YiP~YaPP`n y`all just need to check the album out for bangerS like "Just Another Case", "Pronto", "Bubblin`", "Ebonic Plague", "Goines Tale", "Lisa Lipps" & "Armaggedon" to name a few...

Definitely worth checkin` out, especially if you`re a BiG Rascalz fan because you get to hear `em at their hungriest! Some DoPe & grimey Canadian West Coast HiP HoP right here, check it out...

Reeeeeeeeeeeee-uPsssss PaRT 1...

Due to the number of requestS that I`ve been receiving for some Re-UpS of certain postS I figured today would be a day to get at some of them, hopefully y`all requesterS appreciate it...


The first joint that I Re-uPP`d is Sirens Echo`s "Psalms Of The Sirens", a DoPe album from the Portland Oregon duo...

Second up is the 1989 album "Bad Sister" from Roxanne Shante...

Had to follow things up with 2 MC Lyte albums, the first one being her debut album "Lyte As A Rock" & then her 1989 album "Eyes On This"...

Then finally for the homie kmk420j, I Re-uPP`d some of my BuDD@H BLe$$eD EnT. mixes. Here`s some new linkS for "Tha MoRe I SMoKe", "GuNZ DoN`T KiLL VoL. 1", "BuTTa~SiDe uP" & "LeaN BaCK & PuFF SLoW VoL. 1"

"The DoGs"...

Now I`ve got to keep it 100 & say that I`m not that BiG on BaSS MuSiC, but lately I`ve been trying to listen to some different ish since the music that`s labeled so~called HiP HoP now~a~dayS just doesn`t really seem to hold my interest much any more. Came up on this joint during my searches & found it a lil` interesting, especially since it`s 18 years old & I hadn`t heard it. Actually, I had never even heard of The Dogs before so I spoke with some of my friendS & got a lil` info`. The homieS that I talk`D with told me that The Dogs were basically a 2 Live Crew shadow with their BaSS~HeaVy X~RaTeD RaPs & honestly I`d have to agree because there isn`t much to separate the two groupS. The Dogs were co-founded by Ricky Taylor a.k.a. Disco Rick (of Gucci Crew fame) on Joey Boy Records & the self~titled album`s hitS included "Take It Off", a stripper`s anthem track that became a local hit back in `89 & "Crack Rock", addressin` well Crack use....a joint that`s still relevant today, 18 yearS later...

Wu-TaNG CLaN`s "MySTaGoGue VoL. II"...

Gotta thank Liftid for the links on this joint, some real early Wu-Tang ish from `96-97. It was released & packaged as a FREE cassette (my PRe~DiGi homieS can remember them jointS :) with the skateboardin` mag` Slap. There was a lil` catch though, you had to cop the mag` from a skateboard shop because the cassette wasn`t packaged with the regular ol` bookshop/ newstand copieS. Anyway, the cassette itself is a gem for y`all true Wu-Tang fanS -- pure RZA on the gritty & grimey side, Jazz & FUnk mixed with some "36 Chambers" & "Tical"...
