Copycat remixes the classic hip hop standard “Sometimes I Rhyme Slow” from Nice & Smooth. Absolutely banging.
The make-up of long-respected DJ/ producer Terry Urban's remix of "All Gold Everything" is very simple: all it involves is pasting the acapella of Trinidad James ' breakout ratchet anthem to the familiar bump of Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five's rap golden age standard "The Message" . Considering the polarizing response to James' basic existence, the idea of marrying his record to one of the most acclaimed socially conscious tracks in not only hip hop history, but music history, is also a bold one. Potential cries of "Blasphemy!!" aside though, the [...]

Considering the months-long reign that French Montana 's A-lister-slathered and Uncle Luke sample-highlighted "Pop That" had as the "ratchet jam of the moment" last year, it was a bit of a dome scratcher how the Bronx emcee never quite managed to pump out debut album Excuse My French while the breakout record was peaking. And now, with the album pushed back for a May (!!) release, it has put Montana in a situation to try to push out another banger on the same level as, or even bigger than, "Pop That" to stir [...]
![[MP3] Naughty by Nature – Hip Hop Hooray (DJ Scene 2013 Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4743044_lg.jpg)
I'm close to this record, personally so I'm not sure what I think of this 20th Anniversary remix although apparently Naughty co-sgins it as it the first track on their new soundcloud page.

Boasting an ample supply of nod-friendly beats, a lyrical intellect seasoned with slick metaphors and real world concerns, and an overall deep-rooted appreciation for that good hip hop of a non-pop ilk, there's plenty to admire about The Idea of Beautiful , the official debut of North Carolina emcee Rapsody . Mid-set cut (and now current single) "The Drums" definitely grasps repeat-worthy value thanks to its eased, feelgood vibe sounding like a street corner jam session between friends...that just so happens to be studio polished. With 9th Wonder [...]

Here's a dope throwback for you. A classic classic 1987 release from J.V.C. Force which still retains its freshness. Old school, no doubt, but timeless. Continue Reading

Filed under: News , Exclusive Joshua Ostroff, AOL When Rob Base bounded onto the stage of Toronto's Royal Ontario Museum for TOGETHER 2012, the United Jewish Appeal fundraiser may have been an unlikely event but the venue was rather apropos, what with all the dinosaurs in the building. The '80s hip-hop legend no longer performs with his one-time partner DJ E-Z Rock, but Rob Base was part of a stellar old-school hip-hop [...]
