Crazy Who > The other night, I was at the CiTR 101.9 fm radio studios meticulously tickling the keyboard's keys, inputting whatever. A young under-a-buck shorty sauntered up to see what I was writing. His oversize pants supplied the swish sound that I heard in the halls moments before. Touwritin' shit for that magazine?" "Yeah, man", I answered thinking that he had just made a long-ass bus ride just to ask such a generic question. He paused, lost like a nighttime deer stuck in a driver's headlights. Perhaps he was too nervous to continue his questions - more than likely, he just didn't know what to say next. He shifted his weight from one $95 dollar Nike to the other. $ 190 dollars, plus tax in total. Jamming his hands into his front pant pockets, he established his neo- pseudo B-boy stance, mimicking the rap advertisement photos he had studied earlier in the day. His pantiegs pooled around his ankles. "This is the office, right?" he blurted with his new found confidence. I thought to myself I might play with him a while. I needed a break from the work. "The office?... Yeah,...Yeah you made it, man," I replied. "What's your name ?" "Its CrossEye", he proudly answered. "CrossEye, you've come to the right place. Can you write?" "Yeah, I even wrote for my school newspaper before... I had to cut him off i n m id sentence. "Here, look at these." I passed him two finished articles, which I thought were well written. At least one was for sure, as it was an excerpt from Paul Beatty- a professional. He drawled, "Oh yeah, I've read his stuff in VIBE, but I like Buckwild's style more." Only half of his mouth bothering to exercise its articulating muscle. I let him look at an article about Eazy E. (I had just finished the proof-read moments before his arrival). "Have you heard the joke about Eazy?" he asked with a young devilish grin? "No- He continued hislongjoke, bringing it to a dull finish His delivery was flat and out of pace - plus I tend not to laugh at drawn out homophobia. I was somewhat impressed that he bothered to remember the names thatwere credited in other large scale magazines. Perhaps he actually could write a sentence or two. I mean, how many kids even make it past the third paragraph? (You know those hyperbolic color pix are pretty fresh) I casually mentioned a future article that he might be interested in. "We're working on a future story about Crazy Legs. Perhaps you'd like to have some input into it. " "Crazy, who?! Whose that?" Uh.oh - one of those, I thought to myself. I continued my conversation with him, tryingto throw in as much Hip Hop history as I could, (especially history about Rock Steady). He listened cautiously, weight-shifting all the while. Our conversation continued, until I stopped because of the lecture-like environment. It was late and I was starting to get tired. The young-buck thanked me for taking down his phone digits and offered his fist for a pound. He then rolled out the same way hesnuckin. I thought to myself, CrossEye was "aw'ight"- for surely he passed the first and most importantobstaclecalled enthusiasm. I mean, UBC really is a long-ass bus ride away. - Rolando Espinoza, m fcrOZ.ittfsawKSi ueew A inquiries 6045^4808 Kxispy Biskut • Mix Show :_>_. with DJ Kilo-Oee and hosts Mr. Bill & Incredible Ease Tuesday nights: Midnight on CPRO 102.7fmf Vancouver Moonlighting m eclipse Cmony'all, let's all get down, EL-EM-ENTSisinyourtown. Yeah, yeah,just sitting here listening to the Extra-Premix of Common's new single "Resurrection". As if the original wasn't enough they also hit you with two Large Pro remixes. Speaking of Large, I know your you're all waiting patiently for his LP The LP" to drop... but you've got to wait longer. Meanwhile check for some shit he did for Madskills on the b-side of Skills' new single "Nod Factor" (which was produced by the Beatnuts) and the album track "Extra Abstract Skills" featuring Large and Q-Tip rhyming with Madskills. Oryou might have been one of those lucky people to get a cassette copy of Urge's "Gitoffda Bullshit" taken from the "Wild Pitch Blends" tape distributed at Gavin. And oh yeah, buy the album when he drops it... The Rock Steady Crew will be having their 18th anni- versaryjamjuly2l,22& 23. For more information call (718) 823- 3777... Be on the look out this summer for "Return Of The DJ", an all scratching album by some of the nastiest DJ's around (ie. Q- Bert, Disk, Shortkut, Mix Master Mike, Honda, Rob Swift, and many many more). This compilation is being put out by The Bomb Hip Hop magazine. Some other shit coming out of the Bay Area is "Table Manners", a mostly breakbeat record with a few vocals put out by The Pirate DJ's and co. The Mighty HardrockerCash Money is working on a new mix tape which is supposed to be the shit. Other DJ's taking it to another level on mix tapes is Mix Master Mike and Q-Bert. The Bulletproof Scratch Hampsters, who broughtyou the Hampster Breaks, are getting ready to work on their next joint... If you've been out in LA. over the last couple of weeks, you probably bumped into The Coup, who's making a lot of noise with their new single and video for "Fat Cats, Bigga Fish", while on their promo tour. They're about to blow up the spot on the west coast... S.U.R.E. record pool (one of NY's best, if not the best) celebrated their 17th year in business at the Empire Roller Rink in Brooklyn. Some of the performers there were Big L, D&D Project Artists, Cella Dwellas, as well as others. Nine also held his album release party that same night at Sylvia's in NY. The Impact convention came around again this yearin Atlantic City. There was some heads out there, but not as many as the year before. Performances were limited to mostly R&B groups like Brownstone and Joya. The gambling was the highlight of the year for some (Jay-Bird, MarcGenova) andforoth- ers such as myself, Jellow, Marcus Morton and Rich (Big Daddy) the low point... Certain record industry people are making moves for 95. Fuzzy leaves Pay Day to go to Warner Brothers, Chris Thomas goes from Nervous to Select and then back to Nervous, Dante Ross (gets the gasface) leaves Elektratogo to RAL, maybe?, CasualTand Tim Reid pack their bags and leave Hollywood Basics for Priority (where does that leave Organized?), and we also saw the closing of Tough Break Records. There's a lot of new music getting ready to hit the streets for summer. Among them are "Sugar Hill" byAZ, "Crooklyn Dodgers II" by Chubb Rock-O.C.-Jeru, "I Like It" by Grand Puba, Something Big by Pudgee-B.I.G-LordTariq, "Dynamite Soul/Who Am I" by the Artifacts as well as other artists you should be hearing now like Dark Skinned Assassin, Down N' Dirty Tribe, Sons Of Man, and Raekwon... That be itfor this first edition. But before I go I have to say peace to some people involved in Hip Hop that passed away recently; Prince Messiah (KISS FM), Mercury (Force MCs) and Eazy E. Out. 5 May 95 Its On You "Eazy got AIDS. What's up ?" I think it was back at but, urn... 88/89, when he came out with all his shit "Straight Outta Compton." He was my favorite rhymer on that shit, knowhatl'm sayn'. AIDS is kinda serious. I advise you stay strapped with the jimmy cap and all that. One love to Eazy, knowhatl'm sayin'. He gave a contribution to Hip Hop. All the rough shit. People can't dis him, cause he brought NWAup an' all... - R-Love Respect to Eazy cause he did a lot for the westcoast. Puttin' westcoast rappers on the map. Anything really can truly happen to anyone. Just cause you a star like Magic or Eazy E doesn't mean your invincible. It makes me even that bit more extra careful doin' what I'm doin'- for real. I wish him all the best. Itstoo late for anything now. I wish him the best. -Red I, Rascalz Eazy got it... big deal. Big deal. It's not gonna teach the kids anything. He didn't teach anybody anything anyway. Ifyournot smart enough to realize what's goin' on in your immediate circle of people, then your in big trouble... - Mr. Bill, Krispy Biscuit You gotta deal on all levels of respect, cause Al DS doesn t really pickand choose. It just hits anywhere it feels like it. He reached his heights, now he's fallen backdown. Its gotta say something 'bout how he conducted his life. You gotta have respect and understanding to what your doin' and realize that anyone can reach their heights and then fall. -Skin If he gotit then mad other people got it too and they don't even knowyet. I'm sure his crew be runnin' trains, like Amtrakand all that. Much love for everyone who don't know they even got it yet. That whole groupie scene- you d be stupid not to wear a double hat "cause that's how it runs. I give him mad love cause my first joint from when I was livin' back east was "Radio". I used to pump that shit all the time.. - G-Square, Cipher My first thought was that this might be the demise of Death Row. You gotta think that from back in the day- he doesn't know when he got. He could ofh ad itforsixyears orsomething'. You never know when you contract the HIV virus. You gotta wonder about Dre and Ice Cube and all that. Kids gotta realize and I think it's gonna smacka whole lotta people in the face. This ain't a disease that just other people get. If you don't wanna die you gotta wear that shit. Weartwo of them maybe. It's bad for Eazy E. Really bad- but its something that's gonna wake up a whole lot of people... - Sol G, Figure IV Records Personally, I don't care how Eazy got AIDS cause I know I don't have the shit, man. Knock on wood, knowhatl'm sayin... (Unknown) EazyEgotAIDS? I don't lopkat him no different. It's like that...

A westcoast crew with an abundance of rap talent. Hip Hop in its purest form; no westcoast gangsta anything. No hidden marketing flows or radio bullshit. Strictly underground. by Rolando Espinoza 18 Elements s till, this crew of MC skills, DJ/production, Graf Artists and forthe art form allowed them to progress and eventually form B-boys has had their brush with the Canadian mainstream one of Vancouver's dominating Hip Hop cliques. Red I re- media. Theirfreshman video "Really Livin", (from their calls, "Wewasall in dance crews. Iwasinadancecrew.writin' CD of the same name) ranked number one for fourweeks rhymes, dreaming of the day I'd be put on the Mic." The MCs, on MuchMusic's Rap City, (Canada's answer to MTV).Some time has passed and now they too follow in the independent-label tradition of their American rap peers ShowBiz & AG, E 40 & the Clique and Wu-Tang Clan. Their indy label, Figure Four is realizing the Rascalz new singe, "Blind It has them on the verge of blowing up- again; allowing them to showcase their four main elements of Hip Hop with intelligence and style. Misfit & Red I, long time relationship accents their stylistic differences; where you sometimes witness a Jekyl & Hyde type of combination. Misfit allows for deep introspection, allowing his "third wheel" rhyme style possess his being, (mostly closing his eyes when busting a lyrical thought). His low tone is DJ Kemo inspects the goods. With The Science". It has them on the verge of blowing up- again; allowing them to showcase theirfour main elements of Hip Hop with intelligence and style. The Rascalz officially started in 1989, but before then, they were justfriendsdancin' to get theol'ants'outthe pants. Now several years later, all of the Rascalzclique live within a 5 blockradius of each other in Van "Kids gotta... continue practicing, and don't stop practicing- otherwise they'll stay at the same spot where they are. Their egoswill grow, just making them worse." Zebroc & Dedos B-boyin'. a living metaphor. On the other hand, Red I s natural delivery is proof that you can deliver deadly rhyme blows and still be down with the party vibe. Trinidad born talent will always deliver a sharktooth grin. " Kids gotta understand that they are not what they perceive they are until they practice, and continue practicing, and don't stop practicing- otherwise they'll stayatthe same spot where couver's east side. Although the yet-to-be formed Rascalz they are. Their egos will grow, just making them worse," crew did not have any real MCs, they had concrete feelings discloses Misfit. about the energy, love and feeling of the music. This respect The affiliation of these friends does not justfeed off of dope rhyme skills; on the contrary; the mic delivery is just a comment on the Hip Hop vibe that the other branches provide. One such branch is the crew's B-boys- Zebroc & Dedos. These kids be dancin' strictly from the heart; for a thing called regional isolation didn't let them know that Breakin' was considered played out by the mainstream. No one had told them that the dance groove was over. "We're tryin' to bring it back. My partner Zebroc and I have been dancin' for about five years. Unfortunately, we see dancin' dying out right about now. We don't see too many rap crews with dancers nowadays. You gotta remember Big Daddy Kane with Scoob& Scrap. Now all that is gone. We're trying to bring that back.. The group, the MCs and the dancers-a full package" -Dedos On the live tip, the B-boys add a old/new lost dimension that brings melt-down electricity back to live shows. Break sources say that Vancouver's local vinyl recourses can, at times be scarce- causing a Hip Hop handicap. The Labratz production crew stresses no loud high hats. Just Nel Carter- fat-ass bass lines. "Basslines that retain the realness of 60's & 70s old soul," added Kemo. What's next for them? "Hopefully, next time we get in the studio, we're gonna drop some live stuff. It'll just be experimenting so far' cause we've never done it before. I'm not really a musician... knowhatl'm sayin'."- J Kemo The last and possibly the most underground Rascalz element is its aerosol artists-the AA Crew, (AHCity Action). Armed with a marker arsenal that would make even Mrs. Jiffy jealous, this crew practices nuff artistic crimes on Vancouver's cityscapes. Dedos, (also a Rascalz B-boy), Z Lok and Virus boys for the break. Trueschool, baby. Perhaps makin' the most noise is the Rascalz' DJ/Producer - Kemo (Labratz). Starting with back-in-the-day Radio Shack-5-seconds kind shit, Kemo's first samples included such bug-out material as La Bamba and tunes from the Benny Hill Show. That was then and this is now, cause nowadays, rumour sez that they have their phone ringin' with the Toronto's Dream Warriors asking' for some remix production work. Their successful sound of sloppy, mystery gloom is a result of Kemo's tenacity and almost nonexistent use of traditional break loops. (He still working on work-in-progress beats that are 3 years old!) This sound explorer will use almost anything he can get his hands on, (witness underwater dolphins on the Rascalz last CD), and flip it like a brown- around-the-edges pancake. This is a good thing, because have perfected their skills, each bringing unique, individual talents to the crew. Dedos being characters, Z Lok gets ill with the letters and Virus, is just sick... he's the sickness. The AA Crew's full-blown street graphics cannot be ignored, for their world- class color and sharpness bring necks to strain and jaws to drop. It should be an interesting time for Canadian Hip Hop now that the Rascalz have applied the Figure IV (Records) leglock.

After releasing that doubleAsided I 2" on Cold Chillin' Records, he started work on his first LP. In 1990 he brought us the "Take A Look Around" LP along with the A to the third power Posse, aka the Action Posse (Ice U Rock, Unique, DJ Steady Pace and the A3 dancers). With the legendary Marley Marl on the production, Ace came up with one of the dopest albums ever (no frontin'), only to be slept on like thefewothers who ventured into the future. The ones that and came back with shit that only true Hip Hop visionaries alike were able to appreciate (Organized Konfusion, Ultramagnetic MCs, Alkaholiks). Actually, only about 100,000 people peeped his first album. With that in mind, Ace cynically states, "If it was so dope then I guess a lot more people should've got with it." Not true Ace. Unfortunately, Ace fell victim to a spineless record company that neglected to put any faith in him and he ended up getting pushed to the back of the priorities list. "I felt kinda dissed," states Ace, "It was more on Warner Bros, than Cold Chillin', but Cold Chillin was too crowded anyway. I wanted to find a place that had more confidence in me." Enter Delicious Vinyl. "Here comes the ill kid, acting unruly..." In 1993. Masta Ace combined the different splinter groups under A3, (Lord Digga, Four Bills and Icy Rock), underone name: MastaAce Incorporated. Theyentered the mandatory violent or ridiculously gimmicky rap world with an album titled, ironically enough, "Slaughterhouse". Ace used that title as a metaphor best describing the state of the rap industry at the time. Together with Lord Digga (Bluez Brothers), Unique and Lateef, the INC cooked up what Ace describes as, "abstract, dirty, grimey beats" along with rhymes to leave you in the intensive care unit with your head bust wide open ready for brain surgery. The first single, "Jeep Ass Nigguh" was the beginning of Ace emphasizing car culture in his rhymes. Ace dropped the second single (title track), backed up with a hilarious video blatantly dissing all of rappers out at the time boasting, "Here comes the craziest nigguhz on Earth...". The real story of the release was the flip side. It came about when Masta Ace was getting 24 Elements his fingers dusty in a bargain bin; he stumbled across Original Concept's "Knowledge Me" record. He proceeded to take the record home and fuck around with it. The product he ended up with was the"Jeep Ass Nigguh" remix. Hip Hop heads from Brownsville to Compton, all the way to Vancouver know it as: "Born To Roll". After "Bom.." blew up, Ase One had to chill on the graffiti for a minute and do some tours. Enter Crooklyn Dodgers. MastaAce, Buckshot and Special Ed. ".. .This a jam from the seventies days/When kids didn't acts so craze, in Crooklyn..." Enough said. "Comin through in the black cherry automobile, that's how I feel/Everybody claimin' real and hold in' steel. But I be on some rollin' shit/ holdin' shit down for my borough/ Brooklyn Bass is thourough..." Theyearisnow 1995. Thenewalbumisentitled, "Sittin' On Chrome". A title that refers to the mic, but also as Ace puts it, "It's the car culture meets B-boy". If this sounds different from anything MastaAce has done before, it's because it is. And that my friends, is an example of an artist travelling into "uncharted" territoryand taking a step away the same old shit. "Let's take this ride..." The album starts off with a car doorslamasyouenterthe MastaAce Incorporated ride. As you turn the ignition, Ace begins describing, (in a 1960 's jazz beat poet type style), the scenario involving himand his cousin Jerome (a.k.a. J-Dawg) from LAand acoupleof Brooklyn-bred around-the way girls. Thefic- tional cousin J-Dawg of course symbolizes the majority of the west coast in direct comparison to the east coast. Comparisons includingfrom the different slang, the different fatigues, straight down to the contrasting attitudes; but the main idea behind the J-Dawg character is to put an end to the beef going on between the east "In New York right now rhymin' about blunts rhymin' about shooting head, then you ain't and west; to come together for one common cause: to flirt, run game, cruise and booze the streets in one car, instead of two. So even though Ace is venturing into the new, his metaphorical twists are still as subliminal as hypnotism. Ace isn't the only one who is trying to enforce the "One Love" theory. Check The Alkaholiks' album "Coast II Coast". "I'm in the mood for fucking nigguhz up/it's the crazee drunken style/I've got rum in my cup..." "In New York right now keeping it "real" means rhymin' about blunts and guns.", Ace informs us, "If you ain't rhymin' about shooting some nigguh in the head, then you ain't really keepin' it real." Sadly, this has become true, as nowadays you don't really hear the phrase "Flip the script" too often. The whole point of MCing is to freak lyrical styles and capture the attention of the crowd; standing out in a cipher of 50 different MCs. So even if you are rhyming about blowing some nigguhz head off, the bottom line is, you've gotta be dope. The point being; Lord Digga may seem to fit into the stereotypical "keep it real" category, but his rugged, mic mutilating delivery adds to Masta Ace's flow. Ace breaks it down, "That's what makes it dope. Because their style and my style are so different, there's something there for everybody. It wouldn't make sense to have somebody that sounded just like me." So as we cruise in the INC ride heading eastbound, you start to wonder what's going on the B-side. Ah, it's the crew sitting sn chrome chillin' with some people in the hood. As usic bangs from Aces jeep, someone yells.turn it up! Although Ace made a conscious effort to pull back lyrically on "Chrome", the song "Freestyle ?" makes it clear he can still destroy a microphone and anything else keeping it real1 means withina 100 mile radius. This song is vintage Ace script flippin'. Peep: "Nigguhz know my lyrical history/It's no mystery/So I want this to be understood:/! burn more than Chuck D in Hollywood and I probably should say what I wanna say/Call me bench warmer cuz nigguh/l don't play..." MastaAce responds, "That's just that kind of shit. If I wanted to, I could do a whole album on that tip but I wanted to expand. I ve always been known for rippin' micsso I wanted to come with some other type of things. I don't think there's anything wrong with that." Not at all Ace. "U Can't Find Me" gives you a good idea of what to ex- pectfrom Lord Digga on his upcoming solo material. Ace kicks a little bullshit verse so it's basically Digga's shit. Ace predicts that when Digga comes out, he'll be seen as "the Luke of the east (New York)." This could have to do with the fact that Ace and company hang around Ron Hightower, porno flick advocate from time to time. Because of these inside connections, Lord Digga scored a small, non-sex part in one of Hightowers tapes. "It's justforfun, extraflavorstuff to bugouton." The meaning behind "U Can't Find Me "according to Ace, is like this, "If people are trying to check your status, check your style, you just tell em: You Can't Find Me." Ace breaks it down, "It's just like in graff; if toys are bitin'you or goin'over your shit, that's what you tell em. That's the new'95 shit, you let em know, "you ma'fuckers can't find me, my shit is too ill." "Everything I do is for a reason," Ace explains. "If I do something kin da strange, then there's good reason behind it. Itopensotherdoorsforotherthingsto happen because I'm not going to be rhymin' forever, so other doors have to be opened. I ve gotta be able to provide a living for my family for years to come, not just for the years that I'm rhymin." Youcan'tfind Masta Ace when it comes to lyrics cause it definitely ain't no game. You wanna hear a freestyle? Shit, get ready to feel the terror as Ace supplies you da answer within his rhymes. His metaphor laced lyrics are strictly for the mind. The bottom line is, he was born to roll in his phat kat INC ride. and guns. If you ain't some nigguh in the really keepin' it real."

Every track is right and exact but look out for "Your Beef Is Mine" featuring Nas and Raekwon the Chef - nuff said. On the Absrtract produced "Give UpThe Goods" the Mobb flips some ill shit overthe same sample used in LL's "Pink Cookies" remix. The second single, "Survival Of The Fittest", is very reminiscent of "ShookOnes Pt. 2" but nonetheless captures the true essence of Mobb Deep's outlook on every day life. Q-Tip also lends his production skills and makes a guest appearance on "Drink The Pain Away". Other tracks getting honerable mention are "Cradle To The Grave" and Tempatures Risin" but to me "Trife Ufe" is the straight up shit. Don'tsleeponthis one - beg, borrow, or steel the ducats for "The Infamous". Definitely one of the best albums of 95'. "The Mobb comes equipped forwarfare beware..." - Checkmate MastaAce Inc. Sittin On Chrome Delicious Vinyl A If you haven't checked it's 1995 and this is the year Masta Ace drops his third album. First was "Take A Look Around" 26 Elements (1990), then came "Slaughter House" (1993) and now "Sittin On Chrome". This time he ain't alone though. He has incorporated a few extra MCs into his once solo career. MCs Lord Digga, Paula Perry, and vocalist Leschea each contribute different styles and attitudes to this album. Even though they're not on too many songs (which is good) , they add the right amount of ying to the MastaAce yang. The beats on the LP are straight. They're ear pleasing and have good musical taste to it. Not to say all the cuts are soft or nuthin' like that, but they're tight, no doubt. Masta Ace's rhymin' is still on point with flows reminiscent to verses off of "Crooklyn Dodgers". The overall sound to the album has an east coast flave to it, but some cuts you might think were geared for the west coast, although this album can be bumped from coast to coast so ain't nobody who can discriminate on that Brooklyn base. One song features the Cella Dwellas called "4 Da Mind", which is dope cause they leave that mystical shit alone and just drop slick lyrics. "Sittin on Chrome" has two previously released tracks, "Born to Roll" and' The B-Side", soyou knowyou can'tfront on these tracks. The first single," The I.N.C. Ride", is a chill, mellow, cruising type of track using the loop from Isley Brothers" ForThe Love OfYou". This is a for sure bumpin' cut for clubs and mix shows. Do yourself a favor and pick up "Sittin On Chrome" LP, for its sure to please any real hip hop enthusiast. But hey, one question: What ever happened to DJ Steady Pace and the Action dancers? Oh, and one more: Is it me or does Lord Digga sound a lot like B.I.G.? I don't know, whatever, Peace. - Jesus Enrique Montaldo JeminiThe Gifted One Scars and Pain Mercury ffi Residing where else but in Brooklyn, Jemini now releases a debut EP seven songs strong. What can I say, if you haven't heard any of Jemini's tracks I bet you will soon enough. The rhymin' reminds me of some old school shit butstill soundin' new school. He's definately a refreshing MC, talkin' about old times back in the day and reflecting on the present. "Brooklyn Kids" off the bat will getyou open and haceyour head bouncing like a kangaroo. I would have to say that's one of my favorites off the EP. "Letcho Batyflo" is a dance tempo sorta for the clubs track, but its still rough . Talkin' about seducing females and all that sorta stuff. "Funk Soul Sensation" is an old school fonk track, going back to the days of kicking some ill freestyle bragadocious rhymes. The remaining songs are equally fresh and the production offtheEPisgood, but I wouldn't call it ground breakin'. " Scars and Pain" is a well concieved effort containing more quality than quantity. Also check for "Cant Stop Rockin' (Tribute)", a tribute to the old school MCs. Jemini is one bonafide MC (representing Crooksville) not fronting on no bullshit tip. This brotha is strictly lyrical. So for those unfamiliar with Jemini The Gifted One, you all need to change that. Getwith this EP or just stay in your damn caves. -Jesus Enrique Montaldo 01" Dirty Bastard Return To The 3 6 Chambers Elektra ^M First off, the cover is some ill shit. If you LOVED the "Brooklyyyyn Zuh!" single then this album will be your shit. Love it or hate it, you will play it. The production is mostly by the RZA with the exception of The Stomp" and "Brooklyn Zoo" (produced by theODB himself, with the sea-sick pianos hooked up by True Master.) On this trip back to the infamous Wu-tang temple, ODB takes you on a different route. Before sending you off on this journey, he preps you with an intro that leaves you expecting the unexpected. Before you know it, you've entered the first chamber, "Shimmy Shimmy Ya" as your ears are thrown around in a continuous low-end massacre through backward lyrics. Damn. Before you know it, you're into the next track "Baby Cmon" which has the maddest low end I've ever heard. Oh shit! 01 Dirty's freakin some old Crash Crew shitthat'ssendingchillsupmyspine. Did I forget to mention Raekwon and Meth are featured on this same track called "Raw Hide"? "ProteckYa NeckPt. II" is an introduction of the new Wu MCs from The Zoo who go crazee on the sinister sequel. ODB steals the show with his "Wuzza, wuzza, wuzza, Wu-tang" scratch. "Cuttin' Heads" sounds like it was recorded in RZA's basement about five years ago, because it was. Sounds like the GZA liked the same beat. If you spend the extra money to buy the CD you get two bonus tracks, one featuring Meth which is dope and another bullshit track. Although ODB goes overboard at times, you gotta love the guy, and you gotta respect his style. I now fully comprehend when Method Man said, There's no father to his style." All I gotta say is, go out and buy this album. Everybody should have it cuz everybody needs it. Overall, this album is like nothing else I've ever heard in the history of rap. Therefore I can't give it a percentage. -FreeStyle Crazee over a heavy kickand bass drum. "Time For.." was also a'ight with its eerie combinatiion of ghostly guitars and low- end. In my other ear, I heard repetiveness of beats and drum lines that sounded a Ml' generic. Lyrically, MCs were lacking creativity and orginality.- And whose that guy who begins "Neighborhood Sickness"?!..WACK ! Besides these few minor downs, Goodfellaswasworthcheckin', although it didn't so them justice. Checkfortheir first two releases to get a better perspective of Show Biz & AG's abilities. - Ebony Tivclve Inch Showbiz and A. G. Goodfellas Payday (^ Showbiz and AG... well, they aren't as hype on this as they were on' 92's "Runaway Slaves" or on their first EP "Party Grove/Soul Clap". Some sounds used in the production were a'ight. In one earwas the sound of a fresh guitar loop on "Next Level",which made it nice to chill out and listen to. "Under Pressure"featuring Diamond D, caught my ear as well; with its smooth guitar sample, combined with the background of drippping water sound, all Channel Live Station Identification Capitol ^ By now Hip Hop heads nation wide have heard of this duo out of New Jersey due to their classic underground single "Mad Izm", featuring KRS One. The only problem with having a track as dope as Mad Izm, is that it makes it hard to follow it up with a debut album of the same calibre. This is exactly what happened to Channel Live on their LP "Station Identification". It's not that the album is bad, it does have its share of highlights like the second single, "Reprogram". Produced by the Blastmaster himself, this cut will getyour head bobbin' as soon as the beat drops. "Who you Represent" is another stand-out cut that features clever lyrics including references to other rap groups, (in a positive way) over a smooth sample. Other tracks worth checking are, "SexfortheSportoflt"and"LockltUp". MCs, Hakim and Tuffy's lyrics are well thought out and contain subtleties that fellow MCs and listeners alike will definitely appreciate. At times, some of the material sounds a bit dated. There is mad potential for future "Channel Live" material thatwill nodoubtsurpass theirde- but album. "Station Identification" has a hand full of dope tracks and good concepts, and is worth picking up for "Mad Izm" alone. -J Swing Saukrates Still Caught Up b/wSkillzTa Thrill Independent ffifr This is some shit. This ain't Split Personality, this ain't K-OS,(you know, that kid who thinks he's Q-Tip?), thisisjustsome ill Hip Hop. For years the rest of Canada has seen nothing but mediocre groups from the east; butwith groups like Ghetto Concept and now Saukrates, we're finally getting a taste of the real. Saukrates' debut single "Still Caught Up", is a laid backtrack that has his turntables asking "Why are you on the dick?" The answer: Beacause Saukrates is bringing some new style to the game instead of trying to imitate his American counterparts. The B-side, "SkillzTaThrill" and Saukrates does just that, (along with his man Lockjaw.) Forthe heads inToronto, this 12" is a little old; but for everyone else, one piece of advice-don'tsleep. For any info of Saukrates reach S.I.N. Entertainment at (416) 740-8130. -Timika Laque Raekwon Glaciers of Ice b/w Can It Be All So Simple Loud ^fe Raekwon the Chef has opened another chapter in the Wu-Tang saga with this single from his forthcoming LP. Voted by some as Wu-Tang's MVP (most valuable poet on the M-l-C), Raekwon rips through the first verse, and leaves the othertwo verses for Masta Killer & Ghost Face Killer respectively. Masta Killer catches mad wreckdeliveringaversethat will leave you thirsting for more. This leads into the chorus that features a new Wu member Blue Rasberry. This girl goes off like an air raid siren in Pearl Harbour as she throws everything she's got into a rising cresendo that fucks me up hard! RZA's on some old Chinese guitar unorthadox type shit that is as equally 27 May 9 5 trippy as any other shit he's done, even though the low end is surprisingly scarse on this one. The b-side features a couple of fly-ass remixes of Ghost Face & Raekwon's classic "Can It Be", new lyrics and all. Even if you ain't a DJ you must pick this up because it's that WU-TANG SHrTTHATGETSYOU HIGH! - Flipout Junior M.A. F.I. A Playa's Anthem Big Beat ffy At first I didn't really like this jam, until I heard it at a party. Ustening to this alone at your crib, and at a jam are two different things all together. "Nigguhz! Grab your dicks if you love Hip Hop, Bitchez! Rub your titties if you love big Popp-a" pretty much sums up the content of this track. Biggie gets you open off the things he says and makesyou feel like he's actually at the party rockin' the crowd. Big Poppa is joined by Junior M.A.F.I.A. for some good ol' fasion hype shit. Make sure you learn the words for this one cuz it's a guaranteed party favorite. Ask the DJ to play this - but don't grab your dick too hard, you could hurt yourself. -Freestyle Crazee Cipher Peeps b/w Peeps (remix) & Dues Mocca ffy Originating in Boston, but residing in Vancouver these days, Cipher comes strong with their debut release. The single, "Peeps", is a track strictly for the heads that have been down since day one, and with lines like "it's the same old every night/open mics turn to fights and if ya ain't got crew you can lose your life" it's also a comentary on the state of Hip Hop today. The "Peeps" remix is totally different, complete with new music, chorus and lyrics. To me it's betterthan the original, which is exactly the direction a remix should go in. The music is kinda laid back and provides the perfect mood for G- 28 Elements Squares lyrical assault. "Dues" is the third track on the 12", and in my mind the best. With lyrics such as "Actin like you run shit, rappin' all that dumb shit/ you ain't the first one to brag about your fuckin' guns kid", G-Square is callin' it how he see's it. If it's straight up Hip Hop you crave then pick this up with the quickness. - J Swing Rascalz Blind With the Science b/w Solitaire Figure IV (Tfo Upon hearing the Rascalz' sophomore effort, you realize that their music approach has shifted and matured: its abstract, more eerie and more jazzy. On the single, Blind With The Science, their trippyfunkand out-in-left field basslines puts them (once again) on experimental ground. Ayearandahalfago.this crewfrom Vancouver bounced their blend of underground Hip Hop to spots far and near across the great white north. Now they're back , incorporating misted circus chimes that interlace in and out like a foggy dream and saxophone riffs rougher than my 5 o'clock shadow. Add to this, Rakim's ominous sampled tones and you've got blue bohemian smoke in your eyes. Gloomy metaphor, bravado and cryptic skills abound. Witness: I'll make you kneel at my heels/onceyou've lost the sight/lost the light/now everything resembles night. "The flipside, Solitaire takes you into the deepest corners of Misfit's and Red I's, "...thoughts of self in my own world as it rotates/ I demonstrate to the whole world/ what I've got within/ when l"m all alone/ trying to maintain so I can hold my own.'Thevideo is just the icing on the cake. III. - Rolando Espinoza Jurassick 5 Unified Reboluion Blunt "So this rap goes back to the essence..." Word up. I've heard a few songs lately on the old scool tip, but the first single from the Jurassick 5 is probably the closest to the real thing. If you did not experience the old school vibe cause you were too young then don't sleep on these kids. The rhymes are tight and the production from Cut Chemist is crazy fat. Look for Cut Chemist catchin' wreck on the b-side DJ scratch track called Lesson 4: the radio. The 12" we have is an independant release so it will be pretty tough to find it, but be on the look out for the commercial release on Blunt records. We should be hearing more from this crew in the future -a definite must for any DJ. - Checkmate Method Man All I Need Def Jam ($s This here is the third single off Meth's debut album "Tical". The 12" containes two new mixes and a guest appearance from a female vocalist we are all familliar with. Mary J. Blige does the duty of singing "Your all Ineedtogetby-ah-ahhh..." I'm sure you get the point. I'm wondering why this addition of R&B flavor was put in, cause I definitely think it wasn't needed. Anyways, let me paint a pretty picture for you about the remixes. The first remix, courtesy of Prince Rakeem (RZA), comes in with some freaky deaky organ chords almost sounding like some horrorflick soundtrack while MaryJ. sings over top. Definitley a signature RZA track. The second remix was done by Puff Daddy and I expected worse but I was mistaken. The intro sounds like a weak ass R&B song but when the beat hits it sounds alright. Jacking one of Slick Ricks old break beats Puffy adds a few strings over top and some low tone bass beneath. To tell ya the truth this doesn't sound like an average raw and or hard hittin' Method Man 12", although i have to give respect to the man for releasing a songpraisingawoman instead of degrading or insulting one. Maybe soon more MCs will realise that mentality of respecting and not baggin' on the opposite sex. Get a copy of this single and judge it for yourself or forget that idea and just take my word for it. - Jesus Enrique Montaldo Overheard As you walk into the Editor's room, you hear a slight murmur. Occasionally an extra audible energy shoots out of the pool of collective voices with an opinion that must be heard- at least for the short moment that it commands the air. The following is a discussion that details the continuing saga of Hip Hop's commercial side. Let's tune in, shall we... Ebony: It's coming away from what it should be, you know. The definition of Hip Hop, to me isgetting clouded because there is so much variation to the SH IT that's coming out. People are using a little piece (of Hip Hop) to get across, like that Spearhead fu*ker. What the hell is that! Virus: Straight up, man. Ihearya. FlipOut: You know what I think? I think that Hip Hop tracks could have hooks and all that, but there's no creativity. Beats just sound the same. I mean DJ Kemo and I were buggin' out how people sound like they use the same drum machine and give it to their friends down the block, " Yo! Make a beat." and all this "keep it real". Oh yeah, thanks... great. Thanks for the advice. (Sarcastically), "Yo, make sure you keep it sixteen bars, 'cause then you can put your hook after that." What Hip Hop needs is more Rakim. Eighty nine bars in "No Omega". Word! Rolando: Yeah, but whose ultimate de cision is that. The artist's creation? Naw. Its the management, marketing and A & R an' shit. J-Swing: The artists gotta make money to make a living, man. Lookat Method Man. Dude got skills. He's admitted he wants to make a few bucks with that. FlipOut: There's a difference with Method and the whole Wu-Tang. You can feel him on his tracks. You just can't feel rappers nowadays. Not no more, man. Look at "Protect your neck". All rhymes, no chorus. That shit is dope, man. Rolando: Anything with more than three choruses is a make -for-the-radio tune; no matter how many "obscenities" it has. Shit, all that can just be disguised and it makes the shit sell even more. Ebony: The whole definition of real is like, if you don't cuss and say fu*k, shit and say "I come from this borough, this area.'- What's wrong with being a middle class kid who's dope? A good example is Common Sense. He's been quoted sayin' that he doesn't know no street life the way that it is portrayed in most "keep it real" Hip Hop. It's killing the creativity. Creativity is lost. It's gone. "Real" isnowjustafashion. Wear army fatigues and you're "real". J-Swing: Its gotten to the point, that if you don't rap about negative things-your wackand not hardcore. You gotta be all negative to get across. FlipOut: Naw, man. Look at KRS One's "Boom Bap". That's creative cause its different. He's got the same material. He just put out in a different way. The shit's dope. Ebony: Then why isn't anyone else learning how to recreate without being non- creative? FlipOut: Kids are scared to try some thing different. They just wanna make money. J-Swing: Alot of A&R reps won't even pay attention if the song don't have a hook, they're not interested. Song gotta have a hook. FlipOut: That shit is wack. J-Swing: (Sarcastically), packyourgat, keep it real, represent, smoke blunts, drink 40's, wearyourTimms, bounce, aw'ight... Rolando: It's Eazy E's fault, (laughter) Virus: Westcoast! Westcoast!, (Beavis & Butthead style) Rolando: Gangsta rappers sold way too many records. FlipOut: Thank God for Premier & Guru. Thank God. Ebony: At the rate Hip Hop is selling out. The day couldn't be too far off when it'll be so saturated, so slick and commerc ial that its all gonna fall. And once it falls, you'll see all the shitforwhatitis. Then, and only then will you see some real creative shit. Serious. FlipOut: 11 ike hearing songs on the ra dio, but not custom made for the radio. Rolando: That's a real blurry line. You gotta be pretty astute to tell the difference. I mean, that's someone's job to make sure it sounds "real". J-Swing: "Thisis something'forthe ra dio...", (recreating the Bizbassline) Virus: Its a fine line, a super razor tightrope. You gotta be careful where you step, oryour gonna fall. That's whyrightnow in the culture as a whole, people are scared to progress. Things are selling just a bit too well right now. J-Swing: It's gotten down to a for mula. You sample some old 70s hit that was bad back then. That way, people kinda know it already. Jack the fu*k out of it. Then you put some female Soul singin' over the chorus. SI ANMlIt WEAR PRISON UNIFORMS US JAIL STYLE 29 May 95 Mitchell Garrison MITCHELL GARRISON- MX, -Joseph us Streat Oblivious to time, he lay sleeping comfortably embedded between Betty and Veronica, (his pillows) in his favorite blanket. Never was there such an exquisite blend of cottons ever embellished upon a human being. Ever since he was small, he'd had that blanket and he carefully folded in it half whenever he was having company to make sure that it wasn't tainted...and then he proceeded to... SLAMM! His tranquillity interrupted by the sound of the front door being assaulted by the creature he liked to call Gollum ! She was a beastly women. 5'4" and a belly like Danny Devito, and a wardrobe that looked like a poorly chosen assortment of forgotten items from the Sunshine Grocery which was just down the street. Her hair, brown and naturally oiled, conjured images of DEVO. He smiled to himself as the loop for "Whip It" played itself in his mind. Mitchell That ain't no way to wake up... wack shit playing in my brain..." Reaching over to the stereo, he closes his eyes, selects an anonymous tape and pushes it into the deck. Stereo She was old school when I was just a shorty, Never knew throughout my life she would be therefor me, on the regular... Common Sense, 1994 He smiled again, content that head-bob mode had been initiated. Mitchell "Respec." This was a ritual that he proceeded with every morning. Even though he wasn't a DJ, he was one of few who could appreciate the importance of being able to select the appropriate beats that would dictate a suitable level of mental stimulation. This fact was not a secret to anyone who knew Mitchell. Usually observing rather than expressing, he never failed to give his opinion about music. ("4shadow", previous) Mitchell "...bluh bluh bluh bluh blah! I don't care what he did. FuckWheaties and fuck Bruce Jenner. Slaves didn't have no Wheatiesand I struggle to find soul food to be motivation for cutting down cane or picking cotton. It's all beats man." He made his way to the closet and pondered. This was a careful process. Not a responsibility to be disregarded like questions asked from a drive-thru window. (scenario) Pubescent fast food employ "Would you like fries with that ?" Mitchell "Of course I want fries, man. I came for the fries, (schupse) Just punch it in robot... make sure they're hot too, aw'ight... but don't eat any... and don'tfeel 'em' Cold fries are just potatoes, youknowhatl'm sayin..." His eyes analyzed the barrage of fabrics. This was a crucial moment. Anything was possible. The combinations were insurmountable. Time had to betaken. Efficiency was a must... He was confident as he reached a pair of corduroy's down from the top shelf. As he moved them he glanced briefly at the pile of clothes that had overtime made their way into...the darkness. The small shelf was almost filled, but no matter how much clothes accumulated, he would never allow those things to again seethe light. He pulled some sweats from front, blocking any exposing eye line and then shut them from his mind. This was not an unusual day but it was his favorite. It was a day off from work. A day of freedom. A vacation from the coffee drinking, GWG wearing, gee I feel uptight... maybe it's because I tuck my shirt in my underwear, Mustang 5-litre loving robots that he worked with. It was a good day to be alive. He was young... he had a new mix tape, and his name was Mitchell Garrison. 30 Elements dJIVJE RECORDS presents the LP.
