Rare Artist Series: Jedi Mind Tricks - I Against I (Revisited)

Stoupe sampled Cal Tjader for this track by Jedi Mind Tricks and sprinkled some other sounds over it as it rides the drum track. The lyrics are complex and the flows fit perfectly.  It has that fall time feel to me whenever I hear it and when I do hear it I usually play it over and over a few times.  Solid hip hop.

Rare Artist Series: Willie D - Clean Up Man

A lot of people out there are fans of Scarface and I do too think he was the best part of the Geto Boys.  However, Willie D will always remain one of my favorite comedic rappers even more so than Biz Markie. Whether he intended to or not he always had me laughing my ass off listening to his over the top lyrics and loud rhyming style.  This song in particular is funky and at the same time quite hilarious given the subject matter of Willie D taking your woman if you don't take care of her cause he's the clean up man.  Ha ha ha ha!

Clean Up Man

Dark Saga

Mysterio played around with some programmable synths on this jam digging on the sounds from the ASR-10. What resulted was an uptempo track with dark intentions laid forth for Anoir and Aya to spit some lyrical artillery on. Pianos, organs and strings glide along the head snapping drum kit with cuts thrown in by Mysterio from Inspectah Deck and Pharoahe Monch.

NOTABLE QUOTES:

"When my mind invents a collage/ A verbal sabotage/ Lyrical barrage/ Appear like a mirage/ Rhymes you can't dodge/ Camouflage couldn't hide ya/ When poisonous rhymes get up inside ya" - Aya Da Storm

"But who am I to tell you what to do and not do/ And who are you to say what I do is not true?/ We all don't have a clue/ Stressing to be guessing/ So I'm manifesting/ Finessing with a blessing" - Anoir Akbar
