As you guys have probably noticed by now already, I normally don't post every single track that a song samples, however today I went on a little record hunt to try and get some of these 123 records that Pharcyde samples for their Passing Me By hit that they're so famous for, and since I was unable to actually find all of the sampled tracks on vinyl, I thought I would just share them with you guys through this post. I may or may not have included every single one here but I'm pretty sure this is all [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive Andrew H. Walker, Getty Images "You know, I mostly just can't wait," Slimkid3 (aka Tre Hardson) of California rap pioneers the Pharcyde tells Spinner, when asked about the band's upcoming appearance at NXNE in Toronto. "I'm excited! I want to be like, 'Check this out!' I'm getting ahead of myself." There are two reasons why reunions happen, and while you can [...]
Click image to download full album Sounds like: Ghostface Killah, Pharcyde, Baatin, Common "Blu - Vanity" What's so good? A bit of history: In early 2009 the Los Angeles MC Blu seemed poised to be on the cusp of breaking into the mainstream. His debut, Below The Heavens , made the world of hip hop take notice. His personal narratives and sublime lyricism had [...]
Weed rap just got taken up a notch, as three of the finest west coast emcees come together for "L.A. Blazers". But I am going to be the first to admit, I never could have seen these three folks coming together on one track. I mean, they are all awesome and from Los Angeles, but they all seem to be running in different circles, and quite frankly, different time periods. Which only makes this song so much more special, as three hip-hop underground generations craft an impeccable summer jam. Stream "L.A. Blazers" and download it after the skip. [...]
1st Grade: That girl that rocked a ponytail SO HARD in the homeroom across from mine I'm gonna go ahead and dedicate this post to the dude at Backside Records in Burbank that drew DJ Sensus and I maps of cool shit to do in LA. He even proffered some free stickers. (I love stickers, though I never put them on anything. I digress.) One T-Shirt in the store caught my eye- a heather gray Delicious Vinyl tee. I never heard of Delicious, but their logo reminded me of the hand drawn clown cartoons from the [...]
Download audio file (01-Listen-Up.mp3) So this was an idea I had back in 2007. $ even made me a cover & everything & I never put it out. I decided to pull from that & make this to give y'all for this months edition of NKD, thus we going back in time, to a place where I was coming up as a MC I bumped the schitt outta everything on this edition. Broken tape decks & everythang! This past Saturday I was up @ my DJ W1shOne's Audio Playground all day working on [...]

I have come to realize that I am falling in to the same vicious cycle that I follow every year of only listening to 902s rap. Luckily, this morning I found some more resent hip-hop that has been lying around in my music library for quite a bit now since its last listen. The album is called Pure Thoughts and was released in 2003 by Portland based underground hip-hop group called Lightheaded. The 3-man group consists of rappers Ohmega Watts, Braille and Othello, each one adding a unique element to the group. The whole album is [...]

The Pharcyde Drop Two things. 1. I got really sick yesterday and slept about 15 hours. The 9 hours that I was slightly coherent was spent watching Arrested Development Season 1 and old videos on Youtube. 2. I’m slowly but surely updating my site and adding all kinds of cool shit to make it look like I’m legit (lies), so I apologize for the lack of new beats on here over the past couple days. Just hang tight for a min, and I promise it will be worth your while! Now for [...]

Click image to download full album Song: Gorilla Warfare Tactics - Temptations "Gorilla Warfare Tactics - Temptations" What's so good? Pigeons and Planes dropped this sick track from New York-based trio Gorilla Warfare Tactics back in January. Their music is dope. The group's sound is heavily influenced by a little bit of old-school rap, as well as some newer-wave artists such as Jay Electronica and even Kanye. They'll have a full mixtape dropping this summer, [...]
We owe to the Middle Ages the two worst inventions of humanity - romantic love and gunpowder. - Andre Maurois We're stinking filthy busy round here reading, cutting, welding, & greasing. The chain in those handcuffs is high-tensile steel. It'd take you ten minutes to hack through it with this. Now, if you're lucky, you could hack through your ankle in five minutes.

Is it really possible that Delicious Vinyl forked over that Tone Loc money to pay for the Pharcyde to dress in tribal costume, while chasing around a squad of interlopers? Yes, this appears to be true. Credit to Ego Trip for directional assistance in unearthing this rarely seen clip. More credit to the brothers Ross for funding such a hairbrained scheme. At the risk of asking you to enumerate the 10 Best Rap groups of all-time, let's just say that the Fatlip, Tre, Bootie Brown, and Imani are in the running. What they lack in [...]
"Ya Momma got a glass eye with a fish in it!" Ya mamma... ya mamma... ya mamma... Ahhh!! Man Bizarre Ride ll has to be in my top five albums of all time. I remember the first time I heard "Ya Mamma"... It had me at "She's got the wings and teeth of an African bat". After that I was hooked. The dope thing about this album is that it was released in height of the dominant gangsta rap era. This was a very bold and genius thing to do from the Delicious Vinyl artists. The [...]
