<br />
I'm just going with one of my favorite MC's that's out there doing his thing at the moment, One Be Lo. It's such a shame that not many people know about him as he is talented and has smart lyrics. I love his style and am bumping alot of his albums. <br />
<br />
Some great tracks are listed below, they are all from the following albums:<br />
- S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M. <br />
- S.T.I.L.L.B.O.R.N. <br />
- Project F.E.T.U.S.<br />

Now I heard about his new album that's going to be named B.A.B.Y. (Being A Black Youth) but I don't have an exact date on the release. If anyone knows, comment! I heard one of the tracks but it has been removed from Youtube already.<br />
<br />
I'm really looking forward to get that new album, let me know what you think of One Be Lo!Stibbzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05885013028388291537noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838430679859357766.post-36361225028149985312011-01-18T16:34:00.006+01:002011-01-18T16:37:28.675+01:00Update 35 (Mos Def and MF DOOM)Sup guys!<br />
<br />
So I found these remixed tracks of MF DOOM and Mos Def. I love both MC's and it was done real well in my opinion. I didn't look into it much so I'm not sure if it's official or fanmade but it sounds great if you ask me!<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jU5kJb5nkMc&playnext=1&list=PLB1014B1C88EA34EB&index=9">Mos Def vs. MF Doom - Words of the Day</a><br />

<br />
Now this is not really anything new but here's an interview with Mos Def where he praises MF DOOM, I think it's a great video because he talks and quotes MF's rhymes/tracks just like I would with friends. It's great seeing great MC's really appreciating others.<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTBIvIDnnv8">Mos Def Interview</a><br />
<br />
And here Mos Def is seen covering MF DOOM's track <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpaonSDPw7Y">Accordion</a> live<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7YnGDhVhSI">Mos Def covering MF DOOM's Accordion (live)</a><br />
<br />
<br />
I'm just hoping DOOM and Mos would get together and form a duo just like DOOM did with Madlib, Dangermouse and Ghostface + J Dilla. They could be Mos DOOM? ;)<br />

<br />
Here's something I'm really looking forward to. Gutter Rainbows! the new album by Talib Kweli. It's scheduled to be released on January 25th. I'm really curious on how it's going to be, I've always liked Talib for his 'conscious hip-hop' style so I'm expecting something real good !<br />
One track I found on Youtube that will be on the album:<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paGzMdU726g">Talib Kweli - I'm On One</a><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Come on son, I'm on one!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Talking about Talib always makes me think of Mos Def or them forming the Blackstar combination. Here's a mad nice track by Mos Def featuring Slick Rick on a beat produced by Madlib (Album = The Ecstatic)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UT-hYXqTN38">Mos Def - Auditorium (feat. Slick Rick) (prod. Madlib)</a> </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I also wanted to put some tracks by Dead Prez up here. So here goes:</span><br />

<br />
Used 2 tracks of this album (Distant Relatives) by Damian Marley and Nas already in the Nas post. Mixing hip-hop with reggae which was very nicely done if you ask me.<br />

It's been some time but here I am with new tracks<br />
<br />
Lately I've been listening to Atmosphere and Murs a LOT. They're both from the label Rhymesayers. They got lots of other great artists too, such as MF DOOM, Brother Ali and Eyedea (who sadly passed away, R.I.P.)<br />
<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; text-align: right;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Murs and Slug</td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"> </td></tr>
</tbody></table>Atmosphere has some great tracks, I especially like how he makes you think the song is about one thing and then at the end he says something to twist it all around. Listen to the story he tells you, genius to say the least!<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEHTTFOwsDs">Atmosphere - Yesterday</a><br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjFfFjdB8AM">Atmosphere - The Waitress</a><br />
<br />
Murs is another MC from Rhymesayers. He also isn't very well known even tough he's a great rapper.<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0794IvqFHEo">Murs and Slug - Woman Tonight</a><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Slug is Atmosphere's MC</span><br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUZ4ylxAlAw&feature=related">Murs - I Know (What Do You Know)</a><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Another exceptionally good rapper is One Be Lo from Binary Star. I've talked a bit about Binary Star before consisting of MC's One Be Lo and Senim Silla and Producer Decompoze. These tracks are solo's by One Be Lo</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHPVvHJeNRA">One Be Lo - HisStory</a> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Now check it, I ain't teaching y'all to hate white,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Cause thinking one color's better than another, that ain't right</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCA4OHdFrE8">One Be Lo - Decepticons</a> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Keep the real Hip-Hop alive and support the real MC's! </span><br />

<br />
A Tribe Called Quest, a-mazing group, every hip-hop fanatic should know them in my opinion =P<br />
The group was formed in 1985 with producer/MC Q-Tip, MC Phife Dawg, DJ/Producer Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Jerobi White who left after the first album but came back in 2006. Together with De La Soul and the Jungle Brothers they belonged to the Native Tongues collective.<br />

</tbody></table>B-b-b-b-b-ack again!<br />
I'm finally here again, had 2 very busy weeks but all should be mellow now ;) I'll try to update my blog more often from now on!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This time I wanted to talk about an album I've really been listening to lately, it's actually somewhat strange but still very, very nice. The album I'm talking about is Quasimoto's <i>Unseen. </i>Quasimoto is an alias of Madlib. The album came out in 2000. It's got kind of funny aspects but also strange features. Madlib actually raps himself on the album, either with his normal voice or a more high pitched voice. The productions on the album are the strongest part of the album by far! Some of my favorite beats on the album are from Boom Music, Bluffin' and Astro Travellin'. The raps are pretty good but mostly entertaining, it's kind of story telling with alot of samples from classic tracks. I'm really excited about the album because it the album was just something new. I still don't know any albums that give this feeling from another Producer/MC. It's a real fresh breath of air. It's something I never heard before on another hip-hop album.<br />

Madlib)Ah snap, havn't updated in almost a week, shame on me. Lots of work at school etc. should be fine after next Friday though.<br />
Nevertheless here's a new update!<br />
<br />
Pharoahe Monch, I havn't referred to this MC alot on my blog yet. To be honest I didn't know alot of music of him but this week I've been listening to his album called <i>Internal Affairs. </i>I really liked it so here are some tracks of off it.<br />

<br />
Some completely different and more recent music by Freeway, Brother Ali and producer Jake One. Really liked this one track someone sent me by them, so I started to listen some more music by them<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aJYMYRMprY">Jake One feat. Freeway & Brother Ali - The Truth</a><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Two tracks from a new album I got from Madlib under his alias Quasimoto. The album is partly instrumental and parts with raps, it features Madlib rapping in a high pitched voice (as Quasimoto) The album is actually quite weird but though I really like it, it's really something new! The lines are kind of funny and the production/beats are really the greatest part of the tracks.<br />

<br />
Starting off with Masta Ace. He first appeared on the track 'The Symphony' by the Juice Crew (Craig G, Kool G Rap and Big Daddy Kane.<br />
Eminem said Masta Ace always has been his nr.1 influence. He has always been a pro in what he does!<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YE-HLYGVIQ">Masta Ace - Beautiful</a><br />

</tbody></table><span style="font-size: x-small;">Just because I think it's a beautiful track, a masterpiece</span><br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUQgm3qRPio">Masta Ace - Good ol' Love</a><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Another great track.</span><br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ5ov_oE41k">Masta Ace - Acknowlegde</a><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Some beef with a minor dude called Boogieman or something. He bitch-moved on Masta in a freestyle (well, he wrote his lyrics) He brought Masta shame with this 'freestyle' so this was a diss back, Boogieman wasn't anyone anyways.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Scarface, not the mobster but the rapper. In my opinion one of the best rappers I know from the 'Dirty South'. He's been a member of the Geto Boys. Great rapper!</span><br />

This time Nas, the legend, the streetpoet.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://cdn.babble.com/famecrawler/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/nas-new-dad.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://cdn.babble.com/famecrawler/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/nas-new-dad.jpg" width="150" /></a>Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones, or as we know him, by his artist name Nas or Nasty Nas. Nas grew up in Queensbridge, the same neighbourhood of many famous rappers etc. such as Havoc and Prodigy from Mobb Deep and hometown of the Juice Crew. His father, Olu Dara, is a jazz/blues musician. Two tracks of Nas' first album feature his father playing instruments. He also has a younger brother whose artist name is Jungle.<br />
<br />
Nas' first album <i>Illmatic </i>came out in 1994, it was critically acclaimed and still is considered to be an amazing classic in Hip-Hop.<br />
<br />
His second album <i>It Was Written</i> was released in 1996. The album was more mainstream based coming from the raw, underground sound Illmatic had.<br />
<br />
Nas was a member of the group The Firm (Nas, AZ, Foxy Brown and Nature with Dr. Dre as their producer) but in 1998 The Firm split up. He also was in Hip-Hop supergroup Group Therapy with B-Real, Dr. Dre, KRS-ONE and RBX.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
In 1999, Nas' third studio-album was released called <i>I Am...</i>. Critics claimed that Nas' music was edging to the mainstream. Nas' label back then (Columbia Records) wanted to release the leaked material from <i>I Am...</i> under the name Nastradamus but just before it would be released Nas decided to record a new album for Nastradamus.<br />
<br />
Nastradamus was his fourth album and also came out in 1999. Critics weren't too kind but there was a minor hit on the album (You Owe Me)<br />
<br />
In 2001 Nas got into a highly publicized fued or 'beef' with Jay-Z. In Jay-Z's track Takeover he accuses Nas to be fake. Nas responded with the track Ether. Later in 2001 Jay-Z responded with the track Supa Ugly. On Hot 97 a poll about who 'won' the beef was issued and Nas won it.<br />
Ether was featured on Nas fifth studio-album <i>Stillmatic </i>which was released in 2001. It helped 're-establish' Nas' as he was criticized to be dissapointing with his album <i>I Am... </i>and <i>Nastradamus. Stillmatic </i>received a 5/5 mic's rating (just like <i>Illmatic</i>) from Hip-Hop magazine The Source.<br />
<br />
Another album was released in 2002 called <i>God's Son.</i> This album was also generally received well by fans and critics.<br />
<br />
After this album he started helping his brother's group working on their album and he released a seventh album called <i>Street's Disciple </i>which was also critically acclaimed in 2004. <br />
<br />
In 2006 Nas released yet another album. This time it was <i>Hip-Hop is Dead</i>. The title generated a lot of controversy. Nas became some kind of leader of this movement and rappers like Ghostface Killah seemed to agree with Nas and cited southern crunk and snap music as primary reasons why hip-hop is dead. A lot of southern based rappers such as Lil' Boosie, T.I., Dr. Dre, Young Jeezy etc. took offense to the title because they thought Nas targeted their region (Dirty South) Andre 3000 who is from the south however stated in an interview though that hip-hop was dying. (Lines like these on Nas' Hope which was featured on <i>Hip-Hop is Dead</i>:<br />
<i>Cause if you're askin' - Why is hip-hop dead?<br />
It's a pretty good chance you're the reason it died, man<br />
It's a pretty good chance your lame ass, corny ass, is the reason it died, man<br />
You don't give a fuck about, you don't know nothin' about it<br />
You want this paper, be a hustler<br />
You a hustler, you ain't a rapper</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
Nas ninth album was released in 2008. Nas announced it to have the title <i>Nigger. </i>Alot of controversy was generated by the title and Nas' management feared that a lot of stores wouldn't want to sell the album. Nas changed the title to Untitled and stated: <i>'the people will always know what the real title of this album is and what to call it'. </i><br />
<br />
Nas released another album together with Bob Marley's son Damian Marley. The album would consist of tracks that were mixes of Reggae and Hip-Hop. Personally I think it came out really well. The album is called <i>Distant Relatives.</i><br />
<br />
Nas announced he was working on his tenth studio album and in September 2010 he announced Lost Taped Volume Two would be the tenth album.<br />
<br />

<br />
Another Meth track, this time with Nas, DMX and Ja Rule, I'm not sure on how Ja Rule managed to get in on this track, with names like Nas, Meth and DMX, guess he was lucky. Especially since DMX once beefed with Ja Rule because DMX thought that Ja was trying to imitate DMX's raw, growl-based style. I'm not sure if this all was before or after this track though. The beef's not important though, what matters is a nice track<br />

The Wu-Tang Clan is a very influential hip-hop group that originates from Staten Island, New York. The group originally consisted of 9 members: RZA, GZA, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, U-God, Masta Killa and Ol' Dirty Bastard (ODB) Another rapper who wasn't originally in Wu-Tang Clan but does feature alot of tracks with them is Cappadonna. The group is as said from Staten Island to which they refer as Shaolin Island, some members are from other parts of New York though (Brooklyn and The Bronx)<br />

</tbody></table>The group was founded by ODB and the brothers GZA and RZA with the name <i>Force of the Imperial Master.</i><br />
The Wu-Tang Clan was formed in 1992, the name was taken from a movie called <i>Shoalin and Wu Tang.</i><br />
Their first succes was in 1993 with the single <i>Protect Ya Neck. </i>The members that were in the Wu-Tang Clan had a solo career too.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
They released their first album called <i>Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) </i>in 1993. This album is still now considered as one of the greatest Hip-Hop albums of all time.<br />
RZA formed a new group as a side-project called the Gravediggaz. They released their first album <i>6 Feet Deep</i> in 1994. This album became the best-known album in the sub-genre 'Horrorcore'.<br />
Method Man was the first member to release a solo-album. This album is called <i>Tical</i> and released in 1994. The album was fully produced by RZA.<br />
The next member was Ol' Dirty Bastard, he released the solo-album <i>Return to the 36 Chamber: The Dirty Version</i> in 1995, this album is considered a Classic.<br />
In the summer of 1995, the first album by Raekwon called <i>Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... </i> was released. It was also very well received. The album was about criminological subject and was a Mafioso Rap (sub-genre of Hip-Hop) album.<br />
Also in 1995, GZA's <i>Liquid Swords </i>album was released. This album would turn out to be one of the most significant and well received solo projects.<br />
A year later in 1996, Ghostface Killah released his album called <i>Ironman.</i> Ironman is still widely considered as one of the best Wu-Tang solo albums.<br />
Alot of tracks on all these solo albums were produced by RZA and there were alot of features by Wu-Tang members.<br />
<br />
The Wu-Tang Clan members had their solo careers succesfully developed and they would release a new Wu-Tang Clan album which was highly anticipated. The album <i>Wu-Tang Forever </i>was released in 1997. The album became a multiplatinum album and was nominated for multiple grammys.<br />
Alot of affiliates of the Wu-Tang Clan released their albums too. (affiliates like: Killah Priest, Popa Wu, 4th Disciple etc.)<br />
<br />
There was a second round of solo-albums, commercially they all sold very well but not as critically-acclaimed as their previous albums. They made another Wu-Tang Clan album called <i>The W</i> in 2000.<br />
Another Wu-Tang Clan album was released called <i>Iron Flag</i> in 2001, it featured alot of MC's and producer's outside of the Wu-Tang clan.<br />

Rakim (William Michael Griffin, Jr. born January 28, 1968) another very important pioneer in the sound of Hip-Hop. Rakim is rated as one of the most influential, most skilled MC's ever and has an exceptional flow and lyrical craftmanship.<br />
<br />
<br />
Rakim grew up in Wyandanch, New York. He began his Hip-Hop career when he was fresh out of high school to record with Producer/DJ Eric B. At his 16th he joined The Nation of Gods and Earths and legally changed his name to Rakim Allah.<br />
<br />
In 1986, Rakim started making music with Eric B. as a duo called Eric B & Rakim. They are considered one of the most influential hip-hop groups. Their first album called <i>Paid in Full </i>was very well received by fans and critics. Same happened for their other 3 albums, <i>Follow the Leader, Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em </i>and <i>Don't Sweat the Technique.</i> In 1992 Eric B. and Rakim parted.<br />
In 1997 Rakim released his first solo-album <i>The 18th Letter </i>with collaborations with DJ Premier and Pete Rock (DJ/Producer/Rapper)<br />
In 1999, he released his next album called <i>The Master</i> which was also receiver very well.<br />
Later in 2000 Rakim signed with Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment label to work on an album called <i>Oh, my God.</i> Due to creative differences Rakim split with the label. From what I've heard in interviews with Rakim etc. is that Dr. Dre and his label are known for their aggressive lyrics and tracks while Rakim has more spiritual lyrics and flows, not aggressive.<br />
Rakim's long anticipated album <i>The Seventh Seal </i>was released in 2009. It received an overwhelming response for the Hip-Hop community. Personally I was really happy to find out Rakim was still an excellent MC like he always was and that he didn't sell out. He kept to his style and and kept it real.<br />
Rakim is known for using alot of rhyming technique's in his lyrics. For example he is noted to be one of the first MC's to use internal rhyming (rhyming words withing 1 line) instead of only rhyming the last word of the lines. Among the Hip-Hop community Rakim is acknowledged as one of the best MC's of all time and I must say I can't disagree!<br />

Update 21 is here.<br />
<br />
Today is about Daniel Dumile better known by his most famous alias MF DOOM. Dumile used alot of names such as Viktor Vaughn, King Geedorah, Metal Fingers (collaborations:), Danger Doom (with Danger Mouse), Madvillain (with Madlib) and Dilla Ghost Doom (with J Dilla and Ghostface Killah)<br />
<br />
Dumile was born in London, England in 1971. He and his parents then moved to New York and he was raised in Long Beach, New York. He started a Hip-Hop group with his younger brother and another MC in 1988. In 1993 his younger brother was killed in a car accident just before they would release their album <i>Black Bastards</i>. Dumile and his group were dropped by their label and Dumile stopped his Hip-Hop career.<br />
<a href="http://www.clubcircuit.be/files/newsitems/.525/mf-doom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="182" src="http://www.clubcircuit.be/files/newsitems/.525/mf-doom.jpg" width="320" /></a>In 1997 Dumile started freestyling at open-mic events. Incognito as MF DOOM (MF = Metal Face or Metal Fingers, DOOM from the Marvel Comics super villain Doctor Doom, his mask is also based on this character) He also released some albums as MF DOOM. <i>Operation: Doomsday </i>for example.<br />
Later he started using the name King Geedorah (various spellings) and worked together with the members of the Monsta Island Czars, each member would take a name from the Godzilla myth. They released three tracks. In 2003 he released a King Geedorah album called <i>Take me to your leader </i>and some of the tracks feature MF DOOM.<br />
Later on in 2003 he released another album, this time under the name Viktor Vaughn (also a wordplay on the Doctor Doom character)<br />
In 2004 MF DOOM grouped up with Madlib as Madvillain. They released the album Madvillainy, his first mainstream/commercial succes. Videos were made of the tracks All Caps, Accordion and Rhinestone Cowboy.<br />
In 2005 MF DOOM grouped up with Danger Mouse as Danger Doom and released the album <i>The Mouse and the Mask</i>.<br />
MF DOOM produced and collaborated alot with Wu Tang Clan's Ghostface Killah's and helped producing with two of Ghost's albums.<br />
In 2005 DOOM and Ghost also began recording tracks over beats produced by J Dilla as Dilla Ghost Doom. The group never got to make an official album because of J Dilla's unfortunate death in 2006. 3 days before J Dilla's death he released as an instrumental album including the beats used by DOOM and Ghost.<br />
Madvillain is at the moment busy working at their new album <i>Paper Mill</i>.<br />
Alot of work to be expected from these excellent MC's!<br />

Jedi Mind Tricks (JMT) Always great tracks, I'm a major fan of their work. AotP (Army of the Pharaohs) was founded by JMT's MC Vinnie Paz (formerly Ikon the Verbal Hologram) JMT consisted of Ikon, Jus Allah and producer Stoupe the enemy of Mankind. Jus Allah split with the group but kept making tracks with them in AotP.<br />

<br />
I actually found this track on accident on youtube when searching for <u>Kool G Rap</u>, KRS-One, <u>Rass Kass</u> and <u>Kool G Rap</u> on one track just had to be good, and I was right if you ask me!<br />

<br />
<br />
<u>Common</u>, the one I wanted to posted about today. I posted something about him before. In my opinion, <u>Common</u> is really a MC who raps about what he thinks/feels, I'd categorize him as Conscious hip-hop.<br />

<br />
Basically these are some tracks from a few albums I've been listening alot this week.<br />
I've listened alot of <u>Mos Def</u>'s album Black on Both Sides:<br />

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lISBme_Jy28">Mos Def - Hip Hop</a><br />
<br />
Also a very nice collabo album by Wu Tang MC <u>Killah Priest</u> and <u>Chief Kamachi</u> (known from AotP)<br />

<u>Wu-Tang Clan</u>, if you like hip hop you can't not know them!<br />
