For Hip Hoppers Only

 

Hey fam,

 
Here's a quick blast about all the hip hop jawns that's in my headphones at the moment.

That damn @DanLish1... ain't Nuthin' ta f*!k wit...


As an illustrator learning to better myself through positive thinking, I've learned not to compare my work to that of other artists.  For example, I NEVER EVER measure myself against the brilliance produced by dudes like Brighton-based drawing machine Dan Lish.  'Cause THAT mofo can draw his ASS off...

Between Backbreakanomics and Pro Pain

The two man emcee-deeJay team of Manchild and Dust, known collectively as Mars ILL, is right up there with my favorite rap crews of all time. From what I can tell, they dropped the 15 track jewel Pirate Radio after their sophomore studio album Backbreakanomics and before their third Pro Pain. In 2009, I ran across the title track to Pirate Radio on YouTube, but couldn't find the record anywhere... until now!

Start The Day off RIGHT----->


well, it's my birthday today, so it's a good time to bump my all-time favorite hip hop song, So Whatcha Sayin by the venerated rap duo EPMD (with DJ Scratch for that zigga zigga). This was on their sophomore album Unfinished Business. This record came out in 1989, when deejays still defined the sound of hip hop music, and were as celebrated as the rappers they helped make famous. I love how Scratch's deejaying dominates the hook over the top of that bassline and chanting chorus... that never gets old!
holla!

Start the Day off RIGHT--------->

happy Sonday, fammo! here's Street Credibility, the first song I ever heard by Manchild and Dust, known collectively as Mars ILL. This was on Full Plates, a mixtape by DJ Maj that came out back in 2000 (maybe 2001). Full Plates was a decent mixtape, with several nice Christian rap acts on it, but Mars ILL blew my mind! people that know me can confirm for you that I believe the deejay is the backbone of hip hop, and that a good deejay should put you on to all the stuff you don't have time to find for yourself. Maj gets HUGE props for introducing me to my favorite emcee-deejay duo, the mighty Mars ILL.
in case you didn't know, Mars ILL is also an integral part of the supergroup DeepSpace 5. peep the new DS5 joint here...

Breathe Slow by Mars ILL w/JAX (RIP)
good morning party people! just figured i'd bless you with some quality hip hop once again. one of my absolute favorite hip hop crews -the "he's the deejay, i'm the rapper" combination of Manchild and Dust known together as Mars ILL- dropped this jewel a few years ago, but Breathe Slow off their sophomore LP Backbreakanomics never gets old. it's an anthem for the downtrodden and underappreciated that'll remind you to "take what's meant for you, no longer survive on what's passed down... win or lose you'll live your life knowing you never backed down." if those ain't words to live by, i don't know any...
holla!
