Three Emcees (Part One)



















Lamada pulled samples out of thin air for this extremely satisfying head bobbing beat. The change ups always get me and keep me interested in what happens next as the three emcees deliver some tight verses.

Just straight up hip hop skills: Beats + Rhymes = Rewind & Play Again.


NOTABLE QUOTES:
"Pass me a mic and I'll break down the dewey decimal/ This extraterrestrial - skills so celestial - BX from the start" - E.N.S.

"I craft for fiends - it's in my basic nature/ I laugh at magazines and how they overrate ya" - Anoir Akbar

"So microphones will get ripped apart from the start/ I take this art more serious than just a chart" - Aya Da Storm

Rare Artist Series: The Dragons - Pop's Bag


This group came out with an album that almost never saw the light of day.  It wasn't until decades later that Ninja Tune was able to release it.  This one song is just pure perfection to me.  Definitely makes me appreciate it and also wonder how many other lost gems that there are out there like this.


Kaotic Disciples of the Poet: It's All Kaotic











Still yet another gem from the archives of the Kaotic Disciples. This time it is all...

Rare Artist Series: Felt 2 (Murs & Slug) - Dirty girl


I loved this album.  After a mediocore debut Slug and Murs followed up with a solid sounding album produced by Ant.  Then Felt 3 came and I tossed it in the trash.  So, anyhow this is one song that will always be kept on the playlists for summer or spring time fun.  Solid.

3 MC's Part Two



















Dusted drums and deep bass with light keys and backwards samples lay the foundation for this little demo created by Mysterio featuring the three emcees from "AAA". Verses from Anoir and Aya will later find their way onto the Time-Space Continuum album.

NOTABLE QUOTES:
"Shooting mic chords like Spidey's webslingers/ To warn the dead ringers we are the harbringers/ Of Doom the odor lingers/ We consume rap singers" - Anoir Akbar

"We clash - words hit your head like shrapnel/ You brace yourself but collapse still/ I rap ill" - Aya Da Storm

"So fuck looking pretty and fuck looking cute/ Become mute - battling me in a lyrical dispute" - Analytical

Rare Artist Series: Homeliss Derelix - Classic




















I had never heard of Homeliss Derelix until about two years ago and sure enough kicked myself for missing out on this group earlier.  They came around in the mid nineties out of California and delivered hip hop music that is still unparalleled to this day.  Nuff said...

Classic

Menace Crook
















Weed smoke most likely was blown into the microphone on this layed back Mysterio track from 1993. T-Booth and Moosie Moe step up to deliver their own styles. Extremely bragadocious and bostireous they drop some funny ass lines in between a hook by Ice Cube.

NOTABLE QUOTES:
"Let me unleash with titantic forces/ Tony's italian so you know who the boss is/ Nicaraguan native/ Never be faded/ Can't come fresh when your shit's outdated" - Moosie Moe

"I'm a menace crook with an ill look/ Stare me down hard - you'll be staring from a meathook" - T-Booth
