CRDS Presents-Knowledge Rap Samples-Volume One

In celebration of the legendary Teacha visiting New Zealand shores for the first time ever in April 2012....I have set out to make some compilations showcasing some fat and dope Hip Hop tracks that have sampled the veterans tracks and vocals for hooks and cuts.

KRS had been sampled hundreds and hundreds of times by all kind of artists, I (including myself back in the days on a lost demo) I have always seen sampling or cutting up another artist as a form of great respect and you know that Kris Parker has always had that in abundance.

I think this first 20 track compilation bears witness to the immense influence he has had on Hip Hop for a long time...enjoy.

This, That and The Other...

Mad love to all of my CRDS readers and many thanks for the e-mails I have been getting from longtime fans of the blog, it's really quite humbling...alright so it's a chilled Friday night after a busy week at work, a nice cider, some nibbles and a BDP compilation in my headphones, sounding lovely and getting me more and more hyped for the upcoming KRS One tour next month in Wellington (I was just listening to "Criminal Minded" and remember that the MVC Posse and myself once did a sting for the Weds Nite Jam over a sample of that back in the days, I don't have it anymore so I can't share it but I will always have the memories) not to mention a couple of dope gigs I have upcoming with my crew Evil Mule in April and May.

EPMD & The Hit Squad Live @Best Buy Theater NYC Feb 24th 2012

The much anticipated Hit Squad reunion show slammed the Best Buy Theater in New York last night and by all accounts from some good people on Facebook it was an unforgettable night, mad hype and it just went off like crazy, stupid, dope... the legends that hit the stage were..EPMD, DJ Scratch, Redman, Das EFX, Kieth Murray, K-Solo, Knucklehedz plus guest Method Man.

There were also a lot of artists and DJ's in the audience including the dope DJ JS-1 who wrote the following...

The Hit Squad Reunion show in NYC was great last night. EPMD is easily one of the greatest hip hop artists of all time, if not thee best. They never compromised their music to be slaves to the industry or the times. I was very happy that they rotated acts and songs instead of each group doing full sets. I was pleased to see the Tom J Knucklehedz perform, although i wish they did a few more songs. i loved their music. Keith Murray is insane. (already knew that...) Redman is always the best performer on the mic at any show, and this was no different. Ready Cee spun some treats at the beginning. THANK GOODNESS FunkFlex was not there, although Rosenburg spun some commercial songs on cd after he got booed. LOL. I can say it was quite confusing to see some dude who was announced as "one of the best djays in the tri-state area" perform HORRIBLE wanna-bee TI songs for 20 minutes. that REALLY sucked. nice to be friends with the promoters... Das Efx was also really on point with how they sounded and knowing the lyrics to all their songs unlike a few others... hahaha. Overall it was jam-packed and great... Highlights were definitely seeing them perform HARDCORE w Redman and HEADBANGER w Red n K-Solo, and the hilarious conversation i had w Mr. Walt of the Beatminerz. It was also great that i avoided all the usual suspects who talk to me about sh*t i dont wanna talk about. lol. #HIPHOP if you weren't there, but in NYC, you are crazy..

So with a massive thanks to Big Mike Jackson and Tom J from The Knucklehedz I can share these dope pics for those of that were not able to be at this historic event which also included EPMD and DJ Scratch donning Adidas tracksuits, hats and chains in a tribute to the great RUN DMC.

Real Hip Hop in E F F E C T.

Krispy 3...Good for the enviornment...

Peace CRDS readers, while I have been laying here on my sick bed (freaking flu) I have been listening to the great Krispy 3, a dope UK group that I feel didn't get the proper recognition they should have.

Krispy 3 from Chorley, Manchester was made up of Mikey Don, Mr Wiz and Sonic G and they released their first 7" way back in 1989 with the Parliament sampling "Coming In Thru Clear" which was later released as a 12" in 1990 and was backed with "Natch Up".

They followed up that single with the superb "Destroy All The Stereotypes" (Club Mix) a track that freaked the same sample as LL Cool J's "Jingling Baby" (Remix) with some dope keyboards sprinkled on top and accompanied with a smooth bass line.

That same year K3 released  the 4 track "Don't Be Misled" 12"

and a white label titled "Hard Times" that featured 3 non LP tracks, "Hard Times", "Harder Times" and "Unknown" and in the same year of 1991, they released their debut self titled album on Kold Sweat.

Although the LP was only 9 tracks long and most tracks had already been released on singles "(Hip Hop Boy", "I Chase U", "G's Summary", "Don't Be Misled", "Natch Up", "Destroy All The Stereotypes" it was still a dope album and featured a lot of classic breaks and samples and there was not one ballad or Hip-House cut in sight, which was pretty much the norm between 89-91.

In 1993 they released the follow up album, Can't Melt The Wax which featured the dope hit "On Tempo"

The other 12" released from that LP was the late, great Eugene McDaniel's sampling "We Don't Go Pop Like Bubblegum" which featured a dope remix.

In 1994 they released a revamped and re-licked version of "On Tempo 94 Lick" , which stands to be one of K3's finest ever moments and the video even received airplay on MTV in the US back in the days.

They also released the Herd Out Da Gate EP which had the "On Tempo 94 Lick" as well as a fat, head nodding remix of "Back It Up (Recylced)" the "Who Ya Know" (Remix) and a Non LP cut the Brand Nubian sampling "I Wont Hesitate (I'd Rather Be First)".

In 1995 K3 were now known as just Krispy and released the 12" "Takin It Easy" as well as a few other 12"s, which all appeared on the From The Country LP released on Bomb Hip Hop Records in 1999.
