New Marley Marl - A Double Dose - Friday May 12th 2006
It seems Marley Marl has been busy lately, and while there are plenty of stories about credit disputes / ghost producing floating around these days, you can??€�t deny that after all these years he??€�s still bringing that gritty project sound to everything he touches.
This new remix he did for Busta is a good example, as he replaces the effective (although hardly original) remake of Diamond??€�s I Went For Mine beat with some earth-shattering drums laid underneath an abrasive electric guitar riff (Jimmy?). Although he??€�s working on an album with The Blastmasta at the moment, I can??€�t help but imagine how much better some one like Smiley The Ghetto Child would have sounded over this track.
Less essential is the song he did with Capone and a few of his weed carriers that appears on the Lock & Load compilation. While not as raw as the ??€?NY??€? remix, it??€�s still an effective piece that could have done with better MC??€�s to spark it. I??€�d advise cutting this joint off after the first verse since the WC??€�s are fuckin??€� awful (pity Flush only does the hook).

New DangerDoom Track part of the Free EP
Danger Mouse and MF Doom's super group Danger Doom will be offering new music for download via Adultswim.com, beginning next week.
As SOHH previously reported, Cartoon Network's Adult Swim and Danger Doom collaborated last year to produce the critically-acclaimed album, DANGERDOOM: The Mouse and the Mask.
The new material from Danger Doom, which will be a nine track EP, will feature appearances from Madlib and character voices and skits from Adult Swim's popular original shows such as "Aqua Teen Hunger Force," "Squidbillies" and "Minoriteam".
"Last year, when we teamed up with Danger Mouse and DOOM to create Danger Doom: The Mouse and the Mask, it turned out to be an amazing experience for them and for us," said head of music for Adult Swim and executive producer of Danger Doom Jason DeMarco via a statement.
"As soon as the project was finished, we knew we wanted to continue working together" explained DeMarco. "This time, we've decided to make new music available free for download from AdultSwim.com, which we thought was fitting for two artists who are legendary for Internet leaks."
The first track of the EP, titled "Corn Dogs," will be available for download at www.adultswim.com beginning (May 15) . Additional tracks from the EP will be made available weekly and the full EP will be released on the website for download on May 30th. The free EP will only be available for a limited time.
In related news , Adult Swim will also be releasing another hip-hop album with Stones Throw Records later this year. The album, which will celebrate Stones Throw's ten-year anniversary, will include material from Madlib, MF Doom, the late J Dilla, Dudley Perkins, M.E.D., and Madlib's "five piece band" Yesterdays News Quintet.
Peanut Butter Wolf will serve as executive producer on the Adult Swim/Stones Throw project. The as-yet untitled album is slated for release on September 19.

Am citit destul despre el. Nimic nou in acest scurt interviu..
Poate doar faptul ca omul si picteaza din cand in cand!
ATHEREAL FLOATING
Aesop Rock. The first time his booming voice graced my headphones I caught a head spin and nearly passed out. The man concocts fiendishly elaborate abstract lyrics, and subsequently bombards his songs with a multi-syllabic, multi-layered and multi-dementional delivery, with unparralleled depth and complexity.
Example: "This fallen angle could stitch a wing with a shoestring/prime directive selects reflective aviation bathed in mood swing/I'm broke/I know a walking corpse that spit icicle dagger to slit throat quicker than you can prove there's four letters in hope..."
Those are the first few lines of his first full length release Float, and they're indicative of the barrage of intricate prose and mutated metaphors that await the listener. As well as being a supreme lyricist, the New York MC / Producer proficiently handles eight of the twenty beats on Float, from the eerie to the eccentric, establishing himself as a hip hop artist in the truest sense of the word.
What process do you go through when creating a track?
Well, I usually never write a beat. I write in what spare time I can find. Usually I work with my man Blockhead. He makes tons of shit, so I'll go over to his crib and just listen to beats. We'll settle on one that fits the mood for the song I'm trying to do and work from there, try to figure out interesting sequencing and so on, so it is a song instead of just rapping to a beat. Sometimes, rarely, but sometimes I'll write a track. Like if I'm producing it I'll have a lot of time with the beat so I just sit there and start writing if I'm feeling it. I got a little studio at the crib so it makes recording convenient. It sucks to have to go out to the studio at a scheduled time. I'd rather record at my leisure. It's lessed forced.
What is your basic philosophy, what rules do you adhere to when composing and performing a track, in the studio or on stage?
I just write about what I see and perform it with conviction. It's mad obvious when cats act deeper than they really are, so it doesn't make sense to do that. Just be straight and shit will progress naturally.
You studied art at Boston University and you paint, if what I've heard is true, do your artistic philosophies differ between mediums?
I haven't painted in a minute, but it is something I love. I didn't have time to completely focus completely on it and I didn't want to do it half-assed. Same philosophies apply. Just be honest. Don't come on some random shit because it shows. Get your skills up, learn the craft, then apply the emotion. Kids these days put the emotion before the skill in both music and art. That's wack. I don't want some drama queen shit with no merit.
What kind of things do you paint?
My last days of serious painting were large (like bigger then me) portraits. Pretty realistic. Big faces. Oil paint. I did a bunch of them and they look pretty funny when you line 'em all up next to each other. Mostly people I know, some others though.
Your lyrics have a lot of murky dark depth, what inspires you to write?
Yeah, I guess that's just the cynic in me: looking at shit with a stressed out pessimistic attitude. That's how I've always been. I try to write shit with visuals attatched to them. Even spitting battle shit or whatever, just trying to connect an image with each line. I like TV. And movies a lot, so I always try to have a pen nearby when watching so I can write some little shit if I see it. I'm just complaining when I write like everyone else. But I guess that's why people write. Life is hard. No matter who you are or where you're from you got shit to deal with that is not fun. So you try to take that weight and make something positive out of it. Like making a good song about something you hate.
Ok, after listening to your album, what do you want your audience to walk away with?
I don't know. When I make songs I'm more concerned with how I feel about it. I guess cats like this, which is still weird to me. Cats pay money to hear 70 minutes of my opinions. If they can identify with it or if it helps them get through a day then that's dope. I consider myself to be someone with a relatively level head, so maybe some crooked fool will take a message from it and apply it to life. Or maybe someone will just bump it on the train. I'm just glad heads feel it for whatever reason, because I never expected that to happen.
Has the success of "Float" and your hip hop career altered the perspectives you started out with?
Like I said I'm just happy cats feel what I do. "Float" was cool. It got the buzz bigger then it had ever been. Not I have my new project "Labor Days" about to drop. It is more refined. We were more critical about what songs go on the record and what songs don't. "Float" was a definite learning experience in many aspects. I'm just trying to take it as it comes. I'm getting to travel more, which is something I never was able to do much of. Hopefully going overseas soon too which is crazy. I just try to be calm. I ain't famous. I always remember who I am so if I ever seem like some egomaniac or something you probably just caught me on a bad day.

you just never know when you're living in a golden age.
( <- Click! )If you're a true rap magazine junkie then you??€�ve no doubt got some old issues of Hip Hop Connection stashed somewhere. This rag has been doing it's thing since 1988 over in not-so-sunny England, and while it??€�s always had it??€�s fair share of crap articles over the years, it was also the only place you could find decent interviews with people like Tragedy, Lakim Shabazz and Hard Knocks. The review pages are a different matter all together, guilty of panning awsome albums like Straight Outta Compton and Lord Finesse's Return of the Funky Man, which they complained was "too basic" (and rated as one star out of five if I remeber correctly), while some bullshit like the Dream Warriors received top marks.
This short interview, which ran as a triple feature on Rhyme Syndicate artists (anyone remember Hen-G and Evil-E's awful Brothers LP?) seems to do it??€�s best to paint Finesse as some kind of skirt-chasing party animal, even going as far as to include snide remarks from the editor!?

Why Return of The Funkyman Rules
I have to admit that I was shocked to read a few comments in my last post that a few people feel that Return of The Funky Man isn’t that great of an album. This is complete madness. As great as Funky Technician was, Finesse’s second album is my shit. This may be partly because when it came out I was temporarily without a turnatable and went through a period of buying tapes, but that cassette stayed in my Sony for years.
Here’s ten reasons why this album is awesome:
1. It features numerous appearences from the legendary Grandpa Finesse.
2. Much like Mecca and the Soul Brother, almost every song on Return… is at least four minutes long, making for about 70 minutes of classic D.I.T.C. beats.
3. The tape has an exclusive Showbiz produced song called “Hands In The Air, Mouth Is Shut”, which is fuckin’ dope.
4. The two tracks featuring Percee-P are two of the greatest displays of raw lyrics ever put down on record.
5. It’s the first and last time we’ll ever hear from Shell Rumble and the original Harry-O.
6. “I Like My Girls With A Boom” and “Save That Shit” are some of the most entertaining songs about broads ever.
7. The obligitory “Vapors” style song “Hey, Look At Shorty” is the greatest track of it’s type since, umm, “Vapors”.
8. If it wasn’t for this record, there’d be no “Yes, You May (Remix)”.
9. “Funky On The Fast Tip” is a rare chance to hear the Lord flexing over a beat faster than 92 BPM, if you care about that sort of thing for some bizarre reason.
10. Andre The Giant “gets hype and pulls out a can of brutality”.
( <- Click! )
If, for some inexplicable reason, you’re unfamiliar with the two Percee cuts, then download them shit’s post-haste. As good as “Lung Collapsing Lyrics” is, these two songs remain as the highlights in The Rhyme Inspector’s discography. If you consider that he first kicked the “Yes, You May” verse on the radio in 1990, it’s easy to see just how far ahead of his time he was in terms of style and technique. Pure Bronx science, as they say. “Kickin’ Flavor…” is also outstanding as we witness Perc rocking an ill, ignorant style while still keeping his unfuckwittable patterns in check. It’s also finally available on vinyl thanks to the recent Traffic Entertainment 2LP reissue, having been stuck in bootleg hell for years (it was previously only on the white label version of From The Crares To The Files).

CL Smooth - Not Rapping About Broads!
As the result of booze-impared judgement, I signed-up for an MP3 "record pool" last week, and sure enough started seeing my inbox filling-up with shitty R&B "club bangers". When a new CL Smooth joint arrived yesterday, I damn-near spilled my Beck??€�s from the shock of actually being sent something worth hearing! While The Mecca Don??€�s recent outbursts against his former DJ (which included calling him a "a faggot" a bunch of times) indicate that Pete Rock will never work with him again, I could care less really. They did their thing already and left us with a bunch of classics, so why sweat a reunion?
While "American Me" has nothing to do with "sticking a knife up your ass" (thanks Fat Joe!), it??€�s a solid effort over a bluesy guitar riff, and Corey Love is sounding as self-assured as ever as he builds on the conceptual tip. I??€�m just happy that it??€�s not another one of his "ladies jams". Far less exciting is the return of Busta??€�s original weed carrier (I can??€�t believe I forgot about this guy in the nominations) ??€� Rampage The Last Boyscout. Also using a fuzz-laden guitar loop (seems to be the flavor of the moment, doesn??€�t it?), on ??€?Out of Buisness??€? Ramp sounds pretty unenthusiastic on the mic, which hardly makes for essential listening, does it? Plus the chorus is pretty annoying.

For a number of reasons I won??€�t bore you with here, I??€�ve been on dial-up for the last year or so, but now i??€�m back on cable as of yesterday which means I can finally catch-up with the rest of the universe and mess with YouTube without waiting for that shit to load. First thing I found was a Future Music Magazine promo that Pete Rock did for the MPC, which is notable if for no other reason than the fact that he chops up ??€?Love Is A Battlefield??€??! (Quick, better call Dip Set to get on that). I??€�m betting that most of you have already seen this, but just in case:
