Wu-Tang Clan - Da Mystery Of Chessboxin'
Wu-Tang Clan - Da Mystery Of Chessboxin' Official Video
From their debut album Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers).
Released at November 9, 1993.
Lyrics:
[Wu-Tang movie dialogue]
The game of chess, is like a swordfight
You must think first, before you move
Toad style is immensely strong, and immune to nearly any weapon
When it's properly used, it's almost invincible
[Verse One: U-God]
Raw I'm gonna give it to you, with no trivia
Raw like cocaine straight from Bolivia
My hip-hop will rock and shock the nation
like the Emancipation Proclamation
Weak MC's approach with slang that's dead
you might as well run into the wall and bang your head
I'm pushin' force, my force your doubtin'
I'm makin' devils cower to the Caucus Mountains
[Verse Two: Inspectah Deck]
Well I'm a sire, I set the microphone on fire
Rap styles vary, and carry like Mariah
I come from the Shaolin slum, and the isle I'm from
is coming through with nuff niggas and nuff guns
so if you wanna come sweating, stressing, contesting
you'll catch a sharp sword to the midsection
Don't talk the talk, if you can't walk the walk
Phony niggas are outlined in chalk
A man vexed, is what the projects made me
Rebel to the grain there's no way to barricade me
Steamrolling niggas like a eighteen wheeler
with the drunk driver driving, there's no surviving
[Verse Three: Raekwon the Chef]
Rough like Timberland wear, yeah
Me and the Clan, and you're the Landcruisers out there
Peace to all the crooks, all the niggas with bad looks
Bald heads, braids, blow this hook
We got chrome tecs, nickel plated macs
Black axe, drug dealing styles in phat stacks
I've only been a good nigga for a minute though
'cause I got to get my props, and win it you
I got beef with commercial-ass niggas with gold teeth
lampin in a Lexus eating beef
Straight up and down don't even bother
I got forty niggas up in here now, who kill niggas fathers
[Chorus: Method Man]
My peoples are you with me, where you at?
In the front, in the back killer-bees on attack
my people are you with me, where you at?
Smoking meth hitting cats on the block with the gats
[Verse Four: Ol' Dirty Bastard]
Here I go, deep type flow
Jacque Cousteau could never get this low..
I'm cherry bombing shits... BOOM
Just warming up a little bit, vroom vroom
Rappinin is what's happening
Keep the pockets stacked and then, hands clapping and
At the party when I move my body
Gotta get up, and be somebody!
Grab the microphone go straight to the phone
DUH-DUH-DUH...enter the Wu-Tang zone
Sure enough when I rock that stuff
Guff puff? I'm gonna catch your bluff tough
rough, kicking rhymes like Jim Kelly
or Alex Haley I'm a Mi-..Beetle Bailey rhymes
coming raw style, hardcore
Niggas be coming to the hip-hop store
Coming to buy grocery from me
Trying to be a hip-hop MC
The law, in order to enter the Wu-Tang
You must bring the Ol' Dirty Bastard type slang
Represent the GZA, Abbott, RZA, Shaquan, Inspectah Deck
Dirty Hoe getting low with his flow
Introducing, the Ghost..face.. Killer!!
No one could get iller
[Chorus]
[Verse Five: Ghostface Killah]
Speaking of the devil psych, no it's the God, get the shit right
Mega trife, and you're I killed you in a past life
On the mic while you was kicking that fast shit
You reneged tried again, and got blasted
Half mastered ass style mad ruff task
When I struck I had on Timbs and a black mask
Remember that shit? I know you don't remember jack
That night yo I was hitting like a spiked bat
and then you thought I was bugged out, and crazy
strapped for nonsense, after me became lazy
yo, nobody budge while I shot slugs
Never shot thugs, I'm running with thugs that flood mugs
So grab your eight plus one, start flipping and tripping
Niggas is jetting I'm licking off son
(Wu, Tang, Wu, Tang, Wu, Tang, Wu, Tang!!!!)
[Verse Six: Masta Killa]
Homicide's illegal and death is the penalty
What justifies the homicide, when he dies?
In his own iniquity it's the
Master of the Mantis Rapture coming at you
We have an APB on an MC Killer
Looks like the work of a Master
Evidence indicates that's it's stature
Merciless like a terrorist hard to capture
The flow, changes like a chameleon
Plays like a friend and stabs you like a dagger
This technique attacks the immune system
Disguised like a lie paralyzing the victim
You scream as it enters your bloodstream
Erupts your brain from the pain these thoughts contain
Moving on a nigga with the speed of a centipede
and injure - ANY MOTHERFUCKING CONTENDER
[Chorus]

A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders
A lot could be said about Tribe Called Quest & this album. I've had it on my ipod for over a year now and I'm still learning new stuff about the outfit.
The listener is guided through the program by a robotic voiced woman played by actress Laura Dern. As this voice tells the listener at the end of "Award Tour", the meaning of the album's title derives from a figure that "seven times out of ten, we listen to our music at night", hence the "Midnight", and that the word maraud means to loot, and A Tribe Called Quest are "maraud[ing] for ears". One of the group members, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, described the album's name this way: "We decided to call the album 'Midnight Marauders' because A Tribe Called Quest are like sound thieves looting for your ears." [Wikipedia]
The album artwork of Midnight Marauders was the source of inspiration for a collection of products released by the Air Jordan Brand that includes t-shirts and sneakers and was released February 2009. The sneakers, officially called Air Jordan I Retro High Strap, were often called Midnight Marauders Air Jordan I or A Tribe Called Quest Air Jordan I by customers and featured a design of red, green and black. Two of the t-shirt designs include a wing design and a design mimicking the album cover of Midnight Marauders.
It also served as inspiration for a t-shirt by Munich-based clothing company Beastin', showing the members of the original 1992 Dream Team arranged in the same way as on the Midnight Marauders cover.[Wikipedia]
In my opinion this album is best enjoyed front to back. So I'd suggest supporting the group and plunking down the 10 or some on dollars for the album. Enjoy :)

Kid Cudi - Man On the Moon - The End of Day
I know Kid Cudi is pretty popular and I know that a lot of folks in the community view him as another one of those mainstream artists alongside Drake and Lil Wayne. But I've always really liked Kid Cudi.
His first album, Man On the Moon - The End of Day has to be one of my favorites. This was his first full length release (he had some mixtapes released before hand) and man is it good.
While many hip hop albums like too take us down the path of vainity... Making sure to remind us how well the creators are doing and never letting us forget about their women, this album doesn't. An album in which Cudi reflects on events in his life and himself.
Like on the song, Soundtrack 2 My Life -
"Only things that calm me down, pussy and some Cali tree
And I get both, never truly satisfied
I am happy, that’s just the saddest lie "
Admitting to smoking weed is far from revolutionary or new in hip hop music. But the revelation that it's not making him happy might be.
Many critics say this album is a little to self deprecating and Cudi is just feeling sorry for himself. I'll actually grant them this. But what I like about it is we've all been there and we can all relate to feeling that way.
Kid Cudi addresses the self conflict that many of us encounter but may never face, at least in a public manner. I know when this album came out I could really relate and I'm sure a lot of others may feel the same way.
Plus, the production isn't bad either.
While I didn't love his newest album, I definitely think this album will be something he's remembered by and it just may end up being the best material he ever puts out. But I think I'd be okay with that.
Enjoy.

Why a G6?
The duo known as the White Panda are wizards at mashups. There is a method to their madness, as the group is known catalog sounds and mix them later in a very particular manner. Whatever they're doing... It's working.

Crank your volume up and don't forget that it's a free download :)

Philter - The Lounge

Can anyone place the sample? No?

Outlawz - Real Talk (Lyrics)
Can't believe I haven't posted this one yet!
*** Reading over these lyrics, I've decided, there are a lot of flaws but I don't know a lot of the correct words either haha.***
Now you dun heard a lot of talk about me and my niggaz
Them outlaw world-wide my figures.
From triumph to tragedy,
To right back on top the niggaz still mad at me.
For pushin that big truck on 24's a square feat in ATL game [?]
Man dats what my nigga got shot for,
bein to motha fuckin wrong for dis footballs.
See the darkness see the light he wanna feel it
Misery loves pumpin me
And that's the real shit
But in 2005 im on some ill shit
Four niggaz sneak upon my and peel this.
I'm takin a stand when i get in home killa, like them niggaz in pakistan
It's simple, gotta git em fore' i die like the old west see how we low tex da ride.
[Chorus:]
I know mama, you did your best at raisin' me.
Now your baby dun became a G.
When i'm out in them streets
the only one that got me is me.
I keep my hand upon my heat.
Cause you know mama,
you didn't raise no bitch
so if a nigga wanna get at me
I be out in them streets, my thang cocked
Cause really all I got in the game everyday is me
Real talk.
Everyday is a new challenge
I'm a savage in my new balance
A lot of rappers but not enough raw talent
Blame the machine but fuck it i'm a hustla bitch
So we start our own label sellin' bricks lajit
Power to the people
A lot of power in my pencil
We da hope for the hopeless
The voice for the voiceless
Outlaw soliers, we still in the game
Years later last members fuckin feelin the same.
Straight from the heart
makin em walk
Live for the day dont wait for tomorrow
Hatas gettin they wrong
I seen tha streets rap
Rounda tough with some niggaz
I seen [?] put religion in the roughs of some niggaz.
They say gansgtaz dont live that long
Too many turn-coals
Thats fucked up puttin cuffs on your folks
Coincidental the outlawz instrumental
And raisin a thug nation we influential
[Chorus:]
I know mama, you did your best at raisin' me.
Now your baby dun became a G.
When i'm out in them streets
the only one that got me is me.
I keep my hand upon my heat.
Cause you know mama,

I be out in them streets, my thang cocked
Cause really all I got in the game everyday is me
Real talk.
Yea, My mother aint made no suppa
Raised in the gutta
I'm a made mutha fucka.
All I know is get paid motha fucka
All day motha fucka
One way or anotha
And aint no body no where that can stop me
Call me cachy you tennis im hockey
Mix a little bit of pocky-ocky with black rocky in my pocks you got me.
Real tall I never took a shall unless it was support
Im stressin aint my thought
And I walk these dogs im a soldier
dontcha wanna be like me when you grow up?
A man of honor commer
Good calma
Niggaz wants drama I got the problem solva
Big ass Cig, Thats that shit
plus the bully that a fully automatic.
[Chorus:]
I know mama, you did your best at raisin' me.

what is this sorcery?
I'll be the first to admit I don't love brostep. But something that sets a mood like this is hard to overlook.

Basic Physics - Strength In Numbers
Not my most favorite mix. But there are moments of genius in here. IMO.
If one of the underlying samples sounds familiar... It's because I've posted the song containing it before. See Porter Robinson's - Unison!

I know I've already made a few posts regarding this song and the various mixes... But I found this over on the hypemachine and hit repeat one too many times to not include here. The artist disabled embedding the clip... So you'll have to follow the link. And there aren't any versions on YouTube yet.
BUT, the download is free.

Some Trip Hop
Bonobo - Noctuary
I know this song has been sampled in a hip hop song... But I can't place it. I've been sifting through my library and just can't seem to locate it... Google isn't helping too much either. If you know of it, speak up!
Emancipator-Nevergreen
I try to not return to the same artists... But I like this song too much to exclude it from a trip hop post.
