Laid Back Sunday #12

Well hello there. Decided to go with classics. You know the deal.

The Firm - Affirmative Action
The firm was a group project started by Nas in 1996. They had Dr. Dre behind the decks and had big names such as Foxy Brown, Cormega, Az and Nature spiting on the beats. Doesn't get better then that. This beat has been in my top 10 for a long time.

Notorious B.I.G - Hold ya Head (feat. Bob Marley)
I think we haven't posted any B.I.G since the creation of this mighty blog. Today is the perfect time to kick it old school with a joint from the album "Duets". Notorious & Bob Marley, I mean... come on.

KRS-One - MC's Act Like They Don't Know
Since I was posting so many old school shit, decided to go all out with the last beat. Classic shit by KRS-One, produced by Premier.



back to the lyrics maaaaannn

Noisia x KRS-One

Credits goes to Russ Mills for the illustration.

I'm not too sure why but this video & song have been off hypem's blogs radar so I thought I had to share this one with you. The song was produced by well known Dutch drum n' bass producer Noisia. It has a long smooth intro but it fits perfectly the video. Don't get bored too quickly, wait until the bass starts, it gets crazy. The song even features a verse from KRS-One. How the fuck did both of em end up working together, I have no idea. It sure is an interesting combination though.

The video itself is NUTS. Produced by a certain guy named Alexander Lehmann. He did this video for his Bachelor of Arts Thesis. Big up.



Noisia & Mayhem - Exodus (featuring KRS-One)

Back To Basics Pt. 5

Cal's jockin' my picture swag. Not a problem though, that burger sure looked meaty... DELICIOUS! Let's keep that hip-hop flowing today. Time for the heavy artillery.

Jay-Z - D'Evils
Off his debut album "Reasonable Doubt" which includes other classics such as "Dead Presidents II" or "Brooklyn's Finest". It's even produced by DJ Premier, fresh.

Sigur Ros Vs. Mobb Deep - Shook (Emancipator Mash Up)
Hey look it's that track I keep asking Cal for since I lost the music on my iPod! Naturally mash ups don't often surface on the blog, but with something so legit and well put together you truly can't pass it up.

Krs-One & Buckshot Ft. Melanie Fiona And Naledge - Past Present Future
Really mellow and laidback beat, simply loving it. But then again, when you've got 9th Wonder producing the track you can rarely go wrong. This one's off "Survival Skills", Krs-One and Buckshot deliver.

Blvd. Mosse - Earthquakes From Da Garden
Borderline jazzy hip-hop vibe. Honestly don't know much about these guys except they were discovered by Trenton legend, Tony D. Definitely worth the listen. Respect Cocaine Blunts.

MathMadix - California
If Katy Perry can show some love for Cali, then these guys are fucking its brains out. In a weirdly erotic way though, whatever, you get the point. More on this crew and especially Knoc-Turn'Al shortly.

Goodnight mofos, it's stupid sunny outside and I need to go sleep.
