Old school, you Fool x Part 3

Ol Dirty Bastard feat. Method Man, Raekwon - 16th Chamber

In celebration of Hip Hop's 50th year, we've teamed up with London based ‘Classic Material’ to present a chronologically themed series of mixtapes celebrating the history of recorded rap music, mixed by Chris Read. Edition #8 in this year by year series pays tribute to the Hip Hop of 1994, a year which for many is best remembered for giving us two of hip hop’s most revered debut albums, Nas’ Illmatic and Notorious B.I.G’s Ready to Die. It was also a golden year for radio and mixtape DJs with tapes from the likes of Funkmaster Flex, Stretch Armstrong, Doo Wop, Ron G and others being a key outlet for a new breed of underground acts as well as established names.
Despite tempos generally drifting downward in comparison with previous years and a significant proportion of the year’s output being laidback and jazz infused, ’94 also delivered its fair share of anthems. Artwork pays tribute to classic mid 90s New York imprint Payday Records.

Lyrics

Mr Imagination Special 
Coming at you on the clearest of vessel
And this is the jungle
Where the snakes and monkeys rumble

Ayo
Yo
Leave and Greet Mcs with a sword within
My Flows Crazier than Joker and Harley Quinn
But it’s Tightening 
Come at you with the will of a warrior
And it starts to get frightening 
Leave MCs stuck in the stampede of Lion King
With a Scar on the Chest to make a Choir Sing
Deptford Bridge Murderers you never heard of us  
Insert a coin
And we will slay you like Perseus 
Leave you stuck in Medusa Trance
Dismember you and bury you in the depths of France
You weak rapper are outcasts
Hit you with lightning bolts from Zeus 
To make you head blast 
Why cause we got you

Baptise you in the Lazarus Pit
Where us lyrical leviathan spit
Sonya Blade Suplex
Leave you wondering who’s next 
To receive this slug 
Through there bulletproof vest
They say the tongues mightier than the
Sword
So I know when you take me in it’s like a sword strike to your decibels 
Cause you never heard of me before
I know it’s tragic I’m violent 
I’ll rip you apart with the rath of an x-wing pilot 
Feel the death of a watery grave impaled by Poseidon’s Trident
Flow so saucy like and air gear trick 
So don’t let me catch you on the flip side 
Or I’ll switch like Jekyll and Hyde
Leave you deep fried in my rhymes
So never forget at when you stepped into this jungle 
Because as I told you this is how the snakes and monkey rumble

With the third single from his highly anticipated album The Meth Lab, Method Man joined forces with lifelong cohorts Inspectah Deck and Raekwon.  “The Purple Tape” is laced with dramatic piano and menacing beats, all coming together to support rhymes that bring the confident swagger of classic hip hop to the next generation.  The track asserts “Wu Tang is for the children,” and the supremacy of Staten Island’s finest remains absolute.

The Legendary Kool G Rap Returns With New Album, ‘Return Of The Don’ June 2nd, 2017

Pre-Order 'Return Of The Don' on ITUNES and get "Wise Guys" Now https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/return-of-the-don/id1232016873

Hip Hop’s golden era constituent, Queens’ native, the godfather of Mafioso rap, legendary and influential emcee,  Kool G Rap, broke out in the late 80s and early 90s as one half of the duo with DJ Polo. Together, Kool G Rap and DJ Polo released three undisputed classic albums; beginning with their debut album, Road To The Riches (1989), Wanted: Dead or Alive (1990) and Live and Let Die (1992).

Simultaneously, G Rap and DJ Polo gained notoriety as members of the Juice Crew, whose noteworthy membership includes DJ Marley Marl, Big Daddy Kane, Masta Ace and Roxanne Shante At the height of  hip-hop’s golden age, The Juice Crew was the definition of innovative and not only influenced the culture as a whole (style, lyricism, creativity), but also impressed the importance of style, substance and technique upon the next wave of ambassadors (Nas, Jay-Z, Big Pun, Ice Cube, 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G. etc).   

After a successful run with DJ Polo and the Juice Crew, G Rap embarked on a solo-career, with his solo debut, 4, 5, 6, appearing in 1995, which was preceded by Roots of Evil (1998) and The Giancana Story (2002) which featured AZ, Nas, Joell Ortiz, Mobb Deep, and CNN. Six years later, G Rap released Half a Klip (2008), which included production from DJ Premier and DJ Marley Marl. 

On 6-2-17, Kool G Rap will release his new solo album, Return Of The Don, which is entirely produced by MoSS and features a veritable who’s who list of new and familiar spitters; Freeway, Noreaga, Cormega, Raekwon, Sheek Louch, Saigon, Termanology, Fame, KXNG Crooked, Conway The Machine & Westside Gunn (the newest signees to Eminem’s Shady Records) and the late Sean Price.  “Rest in peace to Sean Price who I was fortunate enough to record with” G Rap commented. 

“What motivates me to get in the studio is really being in that creative zone that you cannot just enter on demand” G Rap stated.  “It is more like an extremely powerful vibe that overcomes you. It’s triggered by hearing a particular track, or being inspired by another artist; or, a life experience that makes your mind and heart open up and lyrics just pour from your soul in the capacity of an avalanche.  That’s what The Return Of The Don represents; an amalgamation of past, present and future and a tribute to some of my most favorite spitters worldwide; this is my salute to those artists."

Canadian born (and a Toronto resident), MoSS’ production credits are instantly recognizable and have resulted in over 2 million record sales worldwide. Ghostface Killah’s smash hit “Kilos”, Raekwon’s ”Have Mercy”, Obie Trice’s entire Special Reserve album and most recently his debut producer album, Marching To The Sound Of My Own Drum, which featured appearances from Joe Budden, DJ Premier, AZ, Joell Ortiz, Sean Price, Jon Connor, Skyzoo, Inspectah Deck, Havoc, Slum Village and others.  
MoSS reflected on the creative journey that would become Return Of The Don. "G Rap and I have worked together a few times over the years and we reconnected and started recording songs that ended up being the foundation to The Return Of The Don.  The album kind of took on a life of its own."
