RE-UP: Chill...A Beatnut.!...Beatnuts-The Nuts Remix Files...

I have had a few requests for this one, so here it is re-upped with an extra track, enjoy.


Chill...A Beatnut.!...Beatnuts-The Nuts Remix Files...









First up, yep I have indeed done a post on the infamous Corona, Queens cats before but this one is a little different to that one and that one
http://coldrockdaspot.blogspot.com/2007/01/lets-take-trip-to-nutshop.html
(sorry if the You Tube links don't work anymore)

was actually my first ever post and with the way the 45 King, PMD, Gang Starr, EPMD etc comps are going, I felt it was time for a 21 track compilation (mix, fat tape) of strictly Beatnuts remixes. (by they way infinite thanks for the awesome feedback and comments and to my new readers, welcome and to my blog family...word up.





I personally feel that the Big City album




was heavily slept on and there are some great tracks on it,in fact I like the whole album, but I do however feel that because JuJu was missing from it, it would have been a different album.

If you aren't feeling this album, get a friend that has a super fat stereo system in his car and then really hear it, or play it on your stereo loud to get the full effect, how anyone can not feel the bugged synth on "Big City" or the addictive loop and deep bassline on "Runnin' Around" is beyond me.

What I love the most about The Beatnuts, apart from their classic beats,basslines, horns and dope loops and amusing rhymes, is their true dedication, almost every year, they are there either producing, doing a remix or rhyming on someone else's records and they have been doing that since the early 90's.

Yes, Ju and Les will return with another album most likely next year but man, I just don't understand why Al Tariq can't be there as well...third of the trio remember.

here is the comp my good peoples...

CRDS Presents: De La Soul,Remixes, Rare and Others

What's the name of this crew?...

In celebration of one of my all time favourite Hip Hop groups and De La Soul's more than twenty years in the rap game and their New Zealand tour (they have been here three times now, but I'm not going to the show, due to money issues) here is a 24 track compilation I did up first in 2006 to celebrate them touring NZ at the time, I also did a tribute show on The Weds Nite Jam (which is around somewhere)

I was meant to put up this up years ago, but you know how time goes by and you forget things, but I will never forget De La, man the first time I heard 3 Feet High and Rising (damn where was I?) it blew my mind, an old friend Kory.H got the tape sent over from the US and told me that if I liked the Jungle Brothers-Straight Out The Jungle album, that I was going to love this album (thanks K)...he got the tape in... I think late 1988 and he did me a dub (recorded me a copy off another tape deck, yeah a tape deck remember those b?..high speed dubbing even ha ha)



I first listened in my headphones on my walkman (with Dynamic Bass Boost) and it was the quirky and clever samples, the dope beats and the funny way Posdnous aka Plug Won and Trugoy The Dove aka Plug Two were rhyming that got to me, but then it just became an album I loved listening to from start to finish and through later years, I would listen to it and notice things I hadn't noticed before, Prince Paul was/is indeed a genius producer and was a very important of De la Soul as a group.

De La Soul had won me over and became my favourite group alongside EPMD, NWA, Ultramagnetic MC's and Public Enemy so when it was announced in 1991, the year the great De La Soul Is Dead album was released, that they were coming down under, I was crazy excited, in all honesty the show wasn't as good as I thought it would be, but I still enjoyed it and hearing "Say No Go", "Eye Know", "The Magic Number" and "Potholes In My Lawn" live was pretty damn special.



You know what I enjoyed more though? Watching P.A. Mase aka Plug Three doing an over two and a half hour set on the Wednesday Nite Jam (Props to Active 89 FM) with Mikey and Vicious from the MVC Posse, we moved the show to a Friday night, especially for the event, I got to meet and watch Mase destroy the turntables and hear play him play classic after classic (Brand Nubian, KMD, Doug E Fresh and many others).

I got to see Mase sink Elephant beers and order pizza up to the studio, I got to get Mase-O (what goes on?) a record he needed so he could do doubles from my bag and I am such an idiot that I didn't even have a camera then to document it all.(I do have tapes of the show though).

Vee, held the fort down on the mic and presenting tip, because I was, really excited that Mase-O was there and nervous at all of the people in the studio and in the lounge area (a lot), so props to Mikey and Vee, that was an ill night, did we get lime milkshakes afterward?, I can't remember :P

I got to hang with Mase and laugh along with his crew as they held competitions to win dates with members of thier entourage (Jimmy Dean Sausages), one girl (yes you Narissa) rang up and embarrassed the shit out of me and I think she did actually meet a dude, I knew her quite well, and it was either Mase or one of his crew (Dove and Pos were at the hotel listening) that told me I was going beetroot flavour when she was on the phone LMAO

I did end up meeting Pos and Dove, up at an old Nightclub, Naked Angel (R.I.P.) and I think from memory I took my NME poster up to the club with me and go it signed by them all, now I was lucky enough to be the support DJ for them in 2006 and I took that poster with me and in a brief moment, showed Pos and Dave, they looked at me first like, "oh you want us to sign this for you" and I said "no, you already did back in 1991", and then I told them that "Mase and his crew came over and took over/Hi-jacked a radio station" and Pos and Dave looked at the signatures on the poster and their faces lit up with smiles.

The infamous NME poster



I love De La Soul, and my favourite albums are:

3 Feet High and Rising
De la Soul Is Dead
Buhloone Mind State
Stakes Is High

Thank you De La, for being a part of my life for so many years, your music has helped me through some hard times, your music has inspired me, your music has left me with great memories,your music has given me so many great moments, whether from playing it on the radio, out in clubs or in my headphones and on my stereo, your music is timeless, sincere and dope and I thank you very much for that.

For the record, I have been enjoying De La's project with Nike, Are You In? and you should check that out

CRDS Presents Da Ladies Are In Da House Volume 1...

crazy props to Werk for the cover

"All the Ladies in the house, the ladies, the ladies"...

What's good party people?

I recently got a text from my close and very good friend and homeskillet Apsara and she asked me what was some good Hip Hop from the Ladies?, so I gave her a few suggestions, but then I thought, you know what, I am going to do up a dope compilation for her and share it on the blog as well.

...and I definitely know I am not the first to do a compilation of all Women Hip Hop, as their was the Fat Beats and Bra Straps comps

https://www.wherehouse.com/music/product-detail.jsp?id=878481
Ho1ogramz has done some very ill compilations of the more obscure and rare Female Hip Hop on her blog and has breakdowns of the tracks.

http://cartwheelsonconcrete.blogspot.com

I have gone through quite a few CD's and files to come up with this and I am pretty happy with the outcome, for the record MC Lyte is my favourite Female Hip Hop artist, whoever I missed on this round, I will get them on the next volume...

Also, The D.A. from the infamous Hobo Junction dropped one of my all time favourite Female (I refuse to say Femcees) Hip Hop joints with the ill "Oh Yeah" and I wish DJ Premier and Paula Perry did more than the one dope as hell "Xtra Xtra" and yes a DJ Premier production appears here more than once, there is a dope Pete Rock remix of Champ MC's-"Keep It On The Real" (one of my all time fave Pete Rock remixes), a rare Large Professor remix of a forgotten Roxanne Shante track...oh look it's all good...let me know what you think.

To the dope ladies (not the wack ones like Nikki Minaj etc) in Hip Hop past and present, the CRDS blog salutes you.


enjoy

EPMD and Oh No live in Melbourne (2009)

"MC's out there you better stand clear..."
















Oh Yes Y'all, Yes Y'all (Kick It E)...I was crazy fortunate to be able to stay in a beautiful little seaside village called Williamstown with my younger brother D (thanks for everything and I mean everything, love you bro) while I patiently waited for Friday night to roll around and even though I am now back in Wellington, New Zealand, I still can't quite believe that yes I finally got to see EPMD tear shit up on stage and being that it was their first time in Australia, I felt very lucky to be there.

Oh No (Madlib's younger brother for those not in the know) was really just a great bonus, or as Erick Sermon said "Fuck Oh No, I had no idea you were that nice" (or something similar anyway)


The show was at the Espy (Esplanade Hotel) where I had seen People Under The Stairs and Atmosphere, Brother Ali and P.O.S. perform dope shows before and the warm up and support DJ Mark 563 rocked some straight up 90's classic with precision beat mixing, I thought the Low Budget crew okay, but a little well...boring, personally I think it would be better if it was 2 MC's going back and forth rather than just one MC, I just didn't find them that good, then Oh No came out all hooded up and basically blessing the M.I.C. with his trademark ill beats and when Oh wanted the sound to be a bit louder or whatever, then Oh did that shit by himself and left the DJ looking a little bit silly, Oh was dope and he ran through a few solo tracks and tracks off The Disrupt album, with the highlight being the J-Dilla (R.I.P.) produced banger "Move" making the heads roar in appreciation, myself included, I had a good spot where I was and met some dope cats (what's good Mark, Alex Louie and Kris) they were all feeding off the live energy and when PMD took the stage and got the crowd to ask for Erick, the place erupted with loud chants, whistles and appreciation.

E came out and EPMD formed and then proceeded to rock the shit out of the Espy, running through a series of their greatest hits "You A Customer", "It's My Thing","Crossover" "Golddigger" (with E & P saying that Kanye bit that shit ha ha), "Rampage" (with E's verse as an accapella),"So Wat Cha Sayin", "Headbanger" (with Oh No nodding his head like crazy on the side of the stage) "Richter Scale", "Da Joint" (twice, both times had the crowd hyped liked they had ten pounds of coffee) "You Gots To Chill".

E & P also rocked some solo shit including PMD's "Ruff, Rugged and Raw" and E's "React", it was very clear that E & P enjoyed this crowd and they said sorry that it had taken them 20 years to get to Oz I thought this show was just mad incredible and from screaming out lyrics and yelling so much, I lost my voice, it's still croaky (lol) check out Mark 563's blog for video footage and pics

Major super duper crazy props to Fresh Pair Promotions for putting this show on and thanks to Pip for broadening her horizons and coming to the show, thank you for your generosity and sorry we missed each other after the show.

Here are some of the pics I took, I'm kind...I didn't post the blurry ones.

(Thanks to Slurg for the pic)

http://ifihavent.wordpress.com/2009/04/05/droppin-funky-verses-tony-d-ad

Very sad news, I found out today (thanks Thun) that one of my favourite Hip Hop producers died in a car accident,Tony Depula aka Tony D from Trenton, New Jersey, was responsible for groups like the Poor Righteous Teachers and YZ and produced for the likes of King Sun, Scott Lark, Kwest The Madd Lad, Almighty & KD Ranks, Blvd Mosse, Blaque Sperm and many others as well as his own solo albums, on the 4th and Broadway and Grand Central labels and group Crusaders For Real Hip Hop, he was also a masterful digger and owned many independent and obscure records he would often use in his Indy Mixes CD's, he also had a ton of unreleased material that he planned on releassing at some stage.

R.I.P. to a great producer and entertaining MC that has left behind a legacy of great beats and artists.
