Hip Hop *Revisited Podcast

As promised, the B-side to the Confessions tape. Side-A featured more traditional Hip Hop, but side-B was decidedly more experimental. Eye threw in some spoken word and more downtown Brooklyn flavor. Have fun...btw...I'll probably be yanking these down after awhile so, d-load while you can. I'm out....One!

OK...Eye asked you people to hang around while Eye get my ish together...as you can see, that's been takin' a minute. So, Eye decided to take a note or two from one of my newest faves on Podomatic --- a dope cast called "Diggin' In The Tapes". If you haven't checked it out, you need to...especially if you're diggin' the vibe here. Anyway, my man Saheeb over at D.I.T.T. has inspired me to dust off some of the tapes Eye used to make back in the day. Really, I'm just being lazy...wasn't quite up to doing a full cast today. This was so much easier. So enjoy some flavor from 1997...This is the A-side of a 100 minute cassette, the mix is called "Confessions Of A Hip Hop Junkie". I'll post the B-side shortly. Peeeeeeeeace.

Ep. 007 This episode of the podcast features some of my favorite duets. This is a theme that Eye may have to return to at some other time, as there were quite a few joints that Eye thought about after recording this podcast (including a couple that Eye meant to include here). Not to fear, though. What Eye did include was more than adequate for your listening pleasure. A lot of strong lyrical performances on this episode. Eye tried to focus on songs that had a good energy from both emcees. Fat Joe/KRS-One - Bronx Tale Smoothe Da Hustla/Trigger tha Gambler - Broken Language Dr. Dre/Ice Cube - Natural Born Killers Chino XL/Ras Kas - Riiiot! Apani B. Fly/Jean Grae - Shut The Fuck Up Charli Baltimore/Ghostface - Stand Up MC Lyte/Positive K - I'm Not Havin' It Masta Ace/Paula Perry - Who U Jackin'? Pete Rock/Large Professor - The Rap World Common Sense/Ynot - Chapter 13 (Rich Man vs. Poor Man) Grand Puba/Positive K - Grand Puba, Positive & L.G. Humpty Hump/Biz Markie - The Odd Couple Busta Rhymes/Ol' Dirty Bastard - Woo Ha! Got Cha All In Check (Remix) Notorious B.I.G./Method Man - The What Jay-Z/Nototrious B.I.G. - Brooklyn's Finest

Ep.006 pt.2 As promised, here's part two of the "Strong Words" episode. Eye got a little more rest before Eye started this part, so the production was a little better than in part 1. LOL This part is decidedly darker than the first. The song selection is a little more provocative overall, plus Eye got a couple of True School joints in...always a treat for me! Anyway, strong shouts to my fam, John Journey from the "Hip Hop Is" podcast...speedy recovery and get back on the set stronger than ever! Enjoy.

Brand Nubian - Sincerely Common feat. Lauryn Hill RETROSPECT FOR LIFE Edo G. feat. Masta Ace - Wishing 2Pac - Words Of Wisdom Public Enemy - Son Of A Bush Immortal Technique - Bin Laden (Remix) feat.

Ep. #004 takes a look at some Hip Hop songs that pose a musical question. Eye ask a few of my own as well. Heavy D. & The Boyz - Who's Da Man? Ya'll better answer right!!! Seriously, though. I've always wondered if this was meant to be the title track for the movie of the same name. Rough House Survivors - Can U Dig It? Smooth joint featuring a hot guest spot from the Mecca Don himself, C.L. Smooth. MC Serch - Can You Dig It? Serch falls back, rolls with plan A and drops the dolo mission. But here's a question: What the heck does "I'm hip to the dig" mean? Artifacts - What Goes On? The fellas from New Jeruz question the gurlies. Seems like they had a few issues they needed to work through. Blacksheep - The Choice Is Yours Well, this song seems to be helping consumers make quite a few choices lately as it has appeared in quite a few recent high profile commercials. Trends Of Culture - Who Got My Back? It's that crew with the other Nas. Definetly a fave of mine, shame Motown didn't know what to do with these cats. They had a nice debut album. Black Moon - How Many Emcees...? Contrary to current definitions, this is that classic backpack shit! The real question is, how many emcees are gonna use a hook by Kris?!? Ill Al Scratch - Where My Homiez (Come Around My Way) Big Ill Da Mack did a big switch on "Homiez". His stint with the W.I.S.E. Guys and that video, "Time For Peace" was quite different. 2Pac - How Do You Want It? Pac was in the pocket with his flow on this one. Plus, he had Heather Hunter in the video riding the bull! Nuff respect. Busta Rhymes & Janet Jackson - What's It Gonna Be? Janet wouldn't have to a ask a brother twice!!! Leaders Of The New School - Where Do We Go From Here? A young and hungry Bussa Bus and his orginal squad, the dynamic L.O.N.S.. One of the last Hip Hop groups to effectively utilize the multiple voice delivery. Deda The Original Baby Pa - Understand? How can a project this dope get shelved?!?!? Pete Rock blessed this project, along with the Ini album. Amazing that these stayed unreleased for as long as they did. Madkap - Questions The Beatnuts gave these cats from the left coast that east coast underground heat to freak with. Nice results. Danja Mowf - Question From the tragically slept on "Word Of Mowf" album, this is a playful, yet insightful little joint that flows nicely. Ugly Duckling - Do You Know What I'm Saying? Only a true Hip Hop afficiendo will really appreciate the clever construction of this tune. The same technique was used by KRS-One on "Hip Hop vs. Rap", however UD flipped the entire song with jacked lyrics. Jungle Brothers - How Ya Want It? (We Got It) It's a Native Tongue reunion, however short-lived. These days Baby Bam is not quite as nostalgic. Positive K - How The Fuck Would You Know? Spittin' the pimp game hard on this one, Pos K does Too Short, Shock G, and Big Daddy Kane proud on this one.
