:: The Points :: Greatest Collabo Track Of All Time ::

Sorry guys I just could NOT resist interupting the Boot Camp post for this. So, as I was searchin around YouTube for another Boot Camp video I stumbled along a song that I haven't heard in years, but have possessed since '96. 'The Points' was featured on the soundtrack to "Panther," a movie starring a young Bokeem Woodbine, Angela Bassett, and Chris Rock to name a few. Now, I know y'all have heard the track 'Flava In Ya Ear' by Craig Mack, heard how it was the "Greatest" collabo song of all time, and now how Busta Rhymes has dropped his 2006 version, 'Touch It Remix', but doesn't anybody know wut the hell they talkin bout??? Probably because it was supporting a movie about the Black Panther Party, or the heavy political tone of the song, 'The Points' never hit the mainstream or became known as one the "great" collabos. Back in '95, it was released for the movie soundtrack, but only the edited/cut back version made it to the actual release and music video (as seen above). This here, however, is the single which features a 9 minute original cut of the song and boasters an enormous cast including: Notorious B.I.G., Coolio, Doodlebug (of Digable Planets), Big Mike, Buckshot, Redman, Menace Clan, Heltah Skeltah, Bone Thugs~N~Harmony, Busta Rhymes, 5th Ward, and Jamal. Now if you ask me, THAT is the greatest collabo track of all time, but don't take my word for it, check it out yourselves!!!!

:: The Ultimate Boot Camp Clik Post ::

This is the ULTIMATE Boot Camp Clik Post courtesy of The Bootis Connection...go tell ur friends cuz u ain't seeing anybody do it like this!!!!!!!



Arguably the GREATEST hip-hop super group of all time, the Boot Camp Clik have been doing it big since the early 90's. Consisting of 4 groups or 10 members (Black Moon: Buckshot, Evil Dee, 5ft.-- Smif-N-Wessun: Tek & Steele-- Heltah Skeltah: Ruck & Rock--O.G.C.: Starang Wondah, Louieville Sluggah, Top Dog) this is one super group without a weak link. Hailing from the birth place of hip hop, Brooklyn, NY, the B.C.C. have struggled to make it mainstream, but have gathered a cult-like following in the underground scene.
Over the past few years the group has seen many problems. Shortly after their critically acclaimed release, Dah Shinin', Smif N Wessun were sued by the gun company "Smith and Wesson" under copyright infringment for the use of their name. In '96 the group was forced to change their name and decided be known as the Cocoa Brovaz (terrible choice if u ask me). After a lengthy court battle, Tek & Steele beat the gun company and once again became Smif N Wessun in 2005.
Following harsh reviews from their sophomore LP, Magnum Force, Heltah Skeltah member Rock, left his partner Ruck and the entire Boot Camp fam to pursue his solo career, sighting creative differences with the promotion and production of past BCC efforts. It seems like Rock has come to his senses and rejoined the group, since he has been recording for the upcoming album, The Last Stand, which is scheduled for release later this year.
After coming strong in the '05 with the triple threat package (Monkey Barz, Chemistry, Reloaded) I can't wait to see what happens in '06 with the whole camp back together again....Keep a look out!!!!!!!!

:: From IL Back To NY ::

Okay for the last post of the MC's to check in the '06 we had to come back to the NYC. Remember that cat that ripped up 106 & Park's freestyle friday 7 weeks in a row? The one who did it first and the reason why they had to come up with that whole hall of fame sh*t. His name was Postaboy and while many people thought he just fell off and couldn't make the transition from battle rap to LP rap, the man was actually goin thru some things and had to put the rap game on hold. Its been 2 years since the days of 106 and for Postaboy its probably felt like a lifetime. Straight outta 106, Postaboy signed with Universal/Fo'Reel, but the deal was botched due to mismanagement and lack of promotion; Posta then had to endure the loss of his brother in the 9/11 attacks in NY; to top it all off, Posta was diagnosed with cancer. Fortunately, the original Mr. 106 has battled back from all adversity, with 2 new mixtapes and has beaten the cancer that almost took his life. Poised to drop his debut album, Live From The Emergency Room, check Postaboy to do some damage in the '06.

Last but most definitely not least...Saigon. If you never heard of this dude, you better do some research. This MC is a true product of an F'ed up U.S society. By age 11 dude was sellin weed; by 13, part of a gang and by the age of 15 Saigon had already been involved in 2 shootings, which he received jail time for. This kid was basically raised by the NY penal system, spending the remainder of his teenage years behind bars. After being released from prison in '99 Saigon hit the mixtape circuit hard and made a name for himself in NY. You can now find a Saigon all over mixtapes, on HBO and still sometimes on the news. Earlier this year some dude tried to steal his chain, stabbin him in the head with a beer bottle. Saigon didnt want to get blood in his Benz so he tried to hail a cab (isn't it hard enuff tryin to hail a cab in NYC being black man, but tryin to get one while your covered in blood from a stab wound to the head???). So ya obviously he wasn't picked up so he drove himself to the hospital. Anyway, this cats rhyme skills are amazing so check him out....summer 06 The Greatest Story Never Told!!!

:: From PA to IL ::

Lupe Fiasco (pronounced LOO-PAY) is a new and upcoming MC hailing from the Chi. First hitting it big when he appeared on fellow Chi-town artist and friend, Kanye West's Touch The Sky, Lupe has actually been around longer than most think. If not the crazy mixtape series, Fahrenheit 1/15, Lupe has also been seen doing tracks with Mike Shinoda's Fort Minor and Ghostface Killah. His debut album, Lupe's Food & Liquor, hits stores sometime this year and is executive produced by Jay-Z. Check out the lead single playin up top, Kick Push!!

A long time friend of Kanye West, and another Chi-town MC, GLC was one of the first artists signed to the G.O.O.D Music label.

Philly STAND UP!!! On our 3rd day of the New MC's post we move from New York, one state south to Pennsylvania.

First up from Philly we got this kid Cyssero A.K.A Rockstar. I first heard this guy spit on those "2 Raw For The Streets" Dvd's, battle mofo's and straight killin them. Apparently, Cyssero got his break when he snuck backstage at one of The Game's concerts, went right up to the man and started spittin lyrics. Well word is that Game was feelin him SO much that he got up and threw his Blackwallstreet chain on Cyss and said welcome to the fam. One thing I can say is this kid's got lyrics and can battle, but only time will tell if he can be one of the few MC's who can switch over from the battle rap scene to the LP's.

Another Philly MC we all must look out for his this cat G.A.G.E. The next protege of the good Dr. Dre, G.A.G.E. is reppin his new Aftermath home to the fullest. This mixtape is the first I ever heard of him, but if he consistently lays down music like this then I'ma definately keep checkin for him. With Dre hookin up the beats its pretty hard not to produce bangaz, but once again only time will tell if this MC can fill the shoes of those before him (The Game, 50 Cent, Eminem, Snoop Dogg).

:: Breaking Newz ::

This morning at 4:30am, rapper Proof of D-12 was shot and killed outside Detroit nightclub Triple C. Born Deshaun Holton, the 32 year old was taken to Holy Cross Hospital where he was pronouced dead on arrival. Another man, 35, also involved in the shooting is now said to be in critical condition, after both himself and Proof received gunshots to the head. Most known as a member of Eminem's group D-12, Proof was a prominent and legendary figure in the Detroit rap scene. Not one to duck and dodge his PJ's once he hit big, Proof was often found hosting MC battles at Detroit's Hip Hop Shop. After dropping D-12's debut Devil's Night in 2001, followed by D-12 World in 2004, Proof went on to release his debut solo effort, Searching For Jerry Garcia just last year. This MC will truely be missed.

Bringing back good old New York hip hop, nobody rep's their set quite like Papoose. "I got Staten Island on my pinky, Queens on my thumb dude, the Bronx on my middle finger screamin F&CK YOU, rock ice in Manhattan so there's the ring finger, you know I had to keep Brooklyn on the trigger finger." By now you all heard of this cat from Busta's Touch It remix, but Papoose has been ALL over NYC droppin mixtapes like bombs with Kay Slay/Streetsweepers. Right now the kid is making so much dough offa his mixtape sales we have yet to see "Nacirema Dream" drop, hopefully soontime, maybe second quarter 06?

The fourth MC to check out is also reppin NYC and inked with a prominent New York DJ. Word on the wire, when Stack Bundles came on the seen EVERYONE wanted a piece of him, hence the name of this mixtape. After first signing with Arista and layin down tracks with Kanye, Stacks deal fell thru and was back on the streets, again choppin his tape. It wasn't long before Stacks and The Riot Squad got picked up by none other than DJ Clue, inking a deal with the Desert Storm Fam along side F-A-B.

:: MC's To Watch For In 2006 ::

Okay so check it out, this will be my last post for the week cuz I ain't gonna be up on here this weekend, so I'ma give you a little taste of what's to come next week. Each day I'ma put up 2 of the newest and freshest MC's to come out the woodwork. With the current state of hip hop, its hard to come across an MC who can actually kick a flow with decent lyrics. So without further ado here are the first 2 MC's to watch for in 2k6.



First off let me say this is not an official release, nor is it even a mixtape. It's a compilation of all the tracks I got on this cat and trust me it's worth a listen. After first listening to this guy I couldn't BELIEVE he was from Canada - ya that's right, this guy is reppin Ottawa. With his lead single, Let Me Live, in heavy rotation on Flow 93.5 (T Dot's Urban Radio Station) Belly is ready to make his mark in the hip hop world. Unlike most Canadian hip hop artists, Belly has been able to garner the respect of many U.S. artists, such as Scarface, J.R. Writer and Loon. And with mixtapes dropped by Kay Slay, DJ Kool Kid, and Big Mike this is one Canadian MC who should not be slept on.

Propz to all my Canadian MC's, especially my boy Jon Doe from Money Won't Stop Music. Check out Belly's Website and when he drops this summer make sure to go cop that.

Next up, we got my man Red Cafe out of NYC.

This here is the Whoo Kid mixtape to help promo Cafe's 2006 album release. Like it or not, NYC is taken over for the '06!!!

:: M-1 - Confidential ::

With two albums and two mixtapes under the belt, M-1 (one half of Dead Prez) branches off from partner Sticman for his first solo effort, Confidential. While Dead Prez is most known for their politically charged, militant PRO-black lyrics, M-1 takes a different approach; "I don’t want people to think about the usual Dead Prez...I don’t want to attract the same kind of attention that I’ve attracted in the past." Well, other than the monologues M-1 goes into at the end of 'Confidential' 'Comrades Call' and 'Too Smart' he lives up to what he says. All in all, M-1 makes a solid solo debut with Confidential and in the absence of the "I Hate Crackers" lyrics, this album has the potential to reach a new fanbase - plus we got K'Naan reppin Canada!!!!!

:: LL Cool J - Todd Smith ::

Ok ok ok...Just leaked out last night, here is LL's 12th ALBUM!!!! While I ain't exactly been an LL fan since Momma Said Knock You Out, you can't hate on this guy for what he's doing. Nobody has been in the game as long, and NO ONE has been as successful as Cool J. With that said this album ain't for the hip hop heads - it ain't even really for dudes in general. While the first song on the album, "It's LL and Santana" is pretty sick, it's really the only bangin track. LL has taken his usual approach and has gone straight for the ladies, and he does a great job at that target market. If you like LL you'll love this album, if you like the laid back/pop/top 40's brand of hip hop this album is for you.

:: Busta Rhymes - The Big Bang ::

On hiatus for the last 4 years after the disappointing "It Ain't Safe No More," Busta comes back hard with his first album, "The Big Bang," off Dr. Dre's Aftermath imprint. Now for all you serious heads out there I don't even have to tell you how much work went behind this joint. Originally slated for a December '05 release and with numerous "fake" leaks, we FINALLY get the real deal and trust me it ain't a sleeper. Enlisting a team of all-star producers (Dr. Dre, Swizz Beats, DJ Scratch, Sha Money XL, Green Lantern, J. Dilla-RIP, E-Double, Timbaland, and more) the beats on this album are just BONKERS.
By now anybody who listens to hip hop has heard the commercial club banger, "Touch It," but don't get it twisted, The Big Bang isn't just straight commercial hip hop bullshit. "Been Through The Storm" features the legendary Stevie Wonder, and is perhaps one of my fav tracks on the album. This joint is like Busta's track for his mom's and pop's, where he takes us back to the days when he first came to America, growing up in the ghetto and the struggles he overcame. On "Cocaina" Busta just basically breaks it down for ya like he's the SHIT (the drug that overdoses mofo's) - it's just got one of those sick headnoddin beats. And the last track I'll speak on is "Goldmine." GODDAMN!!! this track is SICK!!! it's back to the old skool Raekwon that we all fell in love with (no homo). With the beat produced by E-Dub you know its a banger, both Busta and Rae are on point with the lyrics, and if this is what these guys do together I can't WAIT for "Cuban Linx II" cuz if you don't already know, Busta is Exec Prod. on Rae's new shit.

Definately check this album, and if you like it, which I KNOW you will, go cop that at your local music store on June 13...let's support artists who actually put out quality music and take the time to perfect their shit, so we don't have to skip every other track!
