Ultramagnetic MC's: When I Burn (Prod. by Ced-Gee)
From: Critical Beatdown (Next Plateau, 1988)
Brother Soul: Cookie
From: Disco-Funk (RCA, 1975)
Today, I have an artlessly guileless pining: I want to listen to my favorite Hip-Hop album: Ultramagnetic MC’s Critical Beatdown (Next Plateau, 1988). However, this urge is dimly indistinct relative current events where:
I have no plans of meeting anyone who would nominate Ultramagnetic MC’s Critical Beatdown (CB) as their treasured Hip-Hop album as I presuppose they do not exist.
My other supposition is: Black barber shops are the litmus test for popular “Black” opinions (give or take a mofo(s) with a Planet of the Apes lobotomy or as phraseologist Ghostface Killah labels: “smart-dumb-ni&&as”).
I treated the
In a sentence, Ced-Gee’s production on CB exceeds genius. CB and the Beastie Boys Paul Boutique (Jul. 25, 1989, Capitol) produced by the Dust Brothers are two albums that venture to use virgin samples that became Hip-Hop mainstays without compromising content and thus intent.
In a word CB and Ced-Gee for his production is historically, “unfuckwithable”.
Have a cookie (have one for Brother Soul he deserves it).

Jon B speaks earnestly with EURweb:
"This is kind of racist, very racist," Jon said with pause: "it's even harder for black musicians to cut through in the game being that this is their music-R&B-black music-and it's hard for a black person to cut through in black music now than it is for a white person, which is absolutely ridiculous. That's kind of why I've fallen back from the game in a sense."

Phat Kat: True Story Pt. 2
From: Carte Blanche (Look, Apr. 24, 2007) (Advance)
I was first introduced to Phat Kat through Jay Dee’s Welcome 2 Detroit (BBE, Feb. 27, 2001). My sister, Double N G Dukes, and I immediately became Phat Kat fans. Double N G Dukes spoke with Phat Kat at one of his performances. Her conversation abounded with accolades for Phat Kat.
His recent work at times has suffered from his acerbic tone whereby his battle rap gansterisms compromise his flow and word pairing. That said, I’m still a fan oscillating when his music is on.
His AllHipHop (AHH) feature interview: Phat Kat: The Upside of Anger by Omar Burgess is a Phat Kat Cliffs Notes biography which delineates his:
This copy of True Story Pt. 2 is an advance with slight audio inconsistencies. My assumption is these sonic blemishes will encourage legitimate purchasing…

HOW 1+1= 0 (1+(-1)=0)
Swizz Beatz is garbage with eyes. In this video (Styles P & Swizz Beatz Rap City Freestyle (03-21-07)) he bolsters my case relative the neutrality catalyzed when baseless submarginal banality (yes, I am talking about Swizz Beatz) is paired with effortless faculty (Styles P is "dumb-nice").
In short, when a talent is paired with a handicap (again, Swizz Beatz) the sum is zero - resultantly they cancel each other out.
As always Swizz Beatz get an "E" for effrontery.
Swizz Beatz if you're ever in the habit of doing favors please go face a corner and stay there.
The L.O.X. is a group of 3 emcees originating from Yonkers, New York discovered by Mary J. Blige. The name The L.O.X. originated from "The Warlox", however, it was shortened to The LOX per P. Diddy. The LOX is now a backronym for "Living Off Experience" and is composed of Jadakiss (Jayson Phillips) - whose monolithic strength lies in his voice, Sheek Louch (Shawn Jacobs) - a shallow embodiment of "larger than life" persona (yet had one best lyrics on the 'Benjamins' - a feat that stands alone via devolution), and Styles P (David Styles) - who has due to my sister "Double N G Dukes" become one of my favorite emcees (prior I considered him a tuff illusionist - "kill concrete and put a brick in the hospital" caricature and look-alike of a Pacemaster Mace and Trugoy The Dove hybrid, both of De La Soul).

Skyzoo: Get It Done Ft. Torae (Produced by DJ Premier)
From 12" (Unknown/White Label, 2007)
I have copies of The 3 Day High and The City's Favorite: The Mixtape neither of which caused perturbation.
Skyzoo, who open for Black Milk at Pianos last Thursday, March 8, 2007, for the NYC Popular Demand record release party, in a hybrid conjunction word is "dumb-nice". His witticism, doubtlessness, effortlessness, fluent voice and painless delivery make this 22 year a welcome.
I first read about this song in latest issue of XXL . ...From words to music...
According to Skyzoo courtesy of Baller Status:
My rhyme style is a little bit of everything because I do get lyrical, but not to the point where it will get over your head. People think being real lyrical makes you nice, but it doesn't. You definitely need to know how to rap and have some type of lyrics, but being a complex MC doesn't make you nice because a lot of people aren't going to understand you. You have to be able to relate to everyone. I'm definitely lyrical, but not to the point that every word I say has ten syllables in it. I'm lyrical, but I have a lot of swagger and flows because I do make a good amount of commercial joints. I'm not some dark depressed rapper. Like, that's not me. I'm a little bit of everything. You'll get "feel good" joints from me, club joints, joints that will make you want to spend time with your girl. My style is a little bit of everything like a pot of gumbo. You get a little bit of this, a little bit of that and it fills you up real quick.
What separates me from the rest is and I'll start it off with the fact that whenever I hear an interview on the radio or see one on TV, the first thing people say is, "Yo, I got something for everybody," and I hate that! A lot of people say that, but nine out of ten of them don't really have something for everybody. If everyone can relate to your album, then how come when we cop it, there's one chick joint, one party joint and a joint about shooting up the block? That doesn't relate to everybody. Just because you have three different topics, doesn't mean it relates to everybody. It relates to people when they're having a bad day or going through something with their girl and then they may feel what you're saying. But, that's what separates me from everyone because I put money down on the fact that I have something for EVERYBODY -- guaranteed! And the other thing is I'm just being me. I don't talk about shooting up your block and I move pounds of coke a day because I don't do that. I'm around people that do that, so if I speak about it, it's from my bird's eye view and I'll give you insight to what I see, but I won't glorify it because that's not what I'm about. I'm all about putting real music out there.

James Yancey/ Jay Dee/ J Dilla: She'll Be Afraid, Silent Giant and 'Sup
From: Unknown (Unknown)
: WOO-HAH!! Got You All In Check Ft. Rampage The Last Boy Scout
(The Jay Dee Other Shit Remix)
From: Woo-Hah!! Got You All In Check/Everything Remains Raw CD Maxi-Single (Elektra, Feb. 27, 1996)
A: "There's nothing more precious than my Coogi's..."
Fast-forward to R.J. Rice Studios commercial where spray-painted graffiti lists groups who've procured Rice's services - one such group was
Busta Rhymes: Woo-Hah!! Maxi-Single introduced me to the late Jay Dee: Hip Hop's Shy Giant. On this work J Dilla remixed both: "WOO-HAH!! Got You All In Check - The Jay Dee Bounce Remix" (the remix instrumental is also included on the maxi-single) and "WOO-HAH!! Got You All In Check - The Jay Dee Other Shit Remix featuring Rampage The Last Boy Scout" (my favorite of the two).
When artistry sways me to interest I, commonly, inherently delve into the entire body of work of said artist. As foretold, habitually, I systematized my "Jay Dee", as was his foremost moniker, assemblage.
My collection includes several instrumental shorts that I have never heard before be they offered by Detroit sources (Waajeed/Bling47 or otherwise), audioblogs or radio: local, foreign (including BBC 1Xtra's: Benji B nor Gilles Peterson) or pirated (although such offering(s) could have escaped me - however; my doubt is elephantine).
As a consequence of never having a reference for these songs (three (3) of thirty-four (34) previously unreleased songs - oddly all starting with "S") I have named them arbitrarily - as slapdash (no offense intended as I too am guilty) as did DJ O-Dub - such nomenclature is inadvertently artificial. In advance I apologize for any perceived adulteration of J Dilla's music.
