Parental Discretion Iz Advised (1988) http://eclectikrelaxation.com/Music/Parental.mp3 The first of the Posse Cuts they made, featured Dre, Ren, Cube, Eazy AND was kicked off by The D.O.C before we really knew him as The D.O.C. ... and he was still just as dope back then: The D.O.C. "Ain't too typical in any way, though the pro on the mic is the D.O. to the C. this is an intro I know the DOC makes you want to take a valium So buy a bucket cause upcomin is my album" Dr. Dre comes next with some of his best work, probably written by Cube: "Lyrics for the adults, children have been barred and scarred from listenin to somethin so motherfuckin HARD Dope, pumpin that's so my shit will never falter Yo it's Dre so fuck the "Mind of Minolta"" MC Ren, still underrated, slides thru with some of his Ruthless Villain lyrics "It's like Apollo, but I'm not an amateur And I'm not givin a fuck, while I'm damagin ya It's for the record; so Ren's lyrics is gonna spin it And if there was a trophy involved, I'll win it" Ice Cube bats second to last, in ironically one of his last NWA songs ever: "Drivin your ass with the flow of your tongue You hung yourself short, the after-knowledge was brung to your attention, by the hardest motherfuckin artist that is known for lynchin any sucker in a minute Stagger 'em all When I start flowin like Niagara Falls" Eazy wraps up the cut, this was back when people couldn’t wait for an Eazy verse, he was truly a star: "Foreplay; to me ain't shit When you spread 'em I'm ready, then you can get the dick of the Eaze, if you can deal with the size But if you can't, parental discretion's advised! " The other (and my favorite) thing about this song is after Eazy says "Advised" it is the LONGEST echo in the history of Hip Hop LOL ... it outlasts all of the music to where at the very end someone yells "Shut the fuck up!!!" The Grand Finale (1989) http://eclectikrelaxation.com/Music/GrandFinale.mp3 From The DOC's debut album Dr. Dre serves as the narrator or Host of the song, he doesn’t rhyme (Could be why this is the best of them all) When Ice Cube is the FIRST to rhyme on a track, you know it must be dope! Ice Cube: "Picture a nigga that's raw Amplify his ass and what you see is what's on Motherfuckers I slaughter, blow em out the water Word to me, fuck the father" MC Ren then comes with the ruthless flow again "The grand finale, yo, it's my turn to bust So let weak motherfuckers turn to dust If you're weak it ain't my fault Just take a kick in the ass and get turn into a pillar of salt" Eazy - E takes his turn, and again, he steals the show ... "The name is Eazy for me to come off like the enforcer' Mass murder motherfuckers in a course of An everyday situation where I would stalk by Fuck the car; I do a motherfucking walk-by" The D.O.C finishes the song off in grand fashion "the D.O. to the C. now on the formula It's rough; I mean it's funky enough for me And you can have a listen after that and this and D-O-N-'T M-O-V-E wit out permission" The Last Song (1990) http://eclectikrelaxation.com/Music/LastSong.mp3 The Last song was on Above the Law's "Living like Hustlers" album ... it was The Last song, and featured ATL along with NWA (No DOC this time) but the song was still dope KM.G kicks it off "I'm ghetto raise to amaze the crowd, it's quite simple Km.G has degrees from Unity of South Central I'm a graduate and it's all legit From the pimping, the ballin' and all that good shit" Dr. Dre up next, he even gets the Express yourself remix beat in the background for a sec "And if a sucker ever thinks he can get some Yo, step off; I'm kicking lyrics for the deaf and the dumb" MC Ren comes and flips his verse a little different from the others "Now when you see me, you're ducking and slipping, yo, then you fell Down You fucked up and finally figured who was the cell down" eclectik no podcast@eclectikrelaxation.com (eclectik)HipHop,OldSchool,Lyrics,Beats,DJs,Emcees,Radio,Twitter,Podcast,Rhyme,BBoy http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/archives/1126 http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/archives/1126#respond Thu, 20 Mar 2014 11:00:59 +0000 http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/?p=1126 http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/archives/1126/feed 0 podcast@eclectikrelaxation.com (eclectik) http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/archives/1107 http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/archives/1107#comments Wed, 12 Feb 2014 17:38:47 +0000 http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/?p=1107 http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/archives/1107/feed 2 podcast@eclectikrelaxation.com (eclectik) http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/archives/1101 http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/archives/1101#comments Wed, 05 Feb 2014 16:13:25 +0000 http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/?p=1101 http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/archives/1101/feed 2 podcast@eclectikrelaxation.com (eclectik) http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/archives/1097 http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/archives/1097#respond Tue, 04 Feb 2014 12:21:58 +0000 http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/?p=1097 http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/archives/1097/feed 0 podcast@eclectikrelaxation.com (eclectik) http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/archives/1088 http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/archives/1088#respond Tue, 28 Jan 2014 06:39:45 +0000 http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/?p=1088 http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/archives/1088/feed 0 The Podcast is back with Hip Hop Pioneer, Producer, and Geek Kwame!!!

Christmas Rappin - Kurtis Blow (1979) http://eclectikrelaxation.com/Music/Xmas/KurtisXmas.mp3 Look we get one of the most used samples in the 80s here "Hold it now! Wait, hold it. That's played out." Gotta love it! A lot of people think Christmas Rhymes started (and ended) with Christmas in Hollis ... but this was the joint for quite a while ... it sounding just like The Breaks helped lol "Toys for the boys, for the girls glad rags And the grownups got some presents too A new TV and a stereo A new Seville bout as blue as the sky The best that money couldn't buy" httpv://youtu.be/AFtA7IHZgzw 7. Millie Pulled a Pistol on Santa - De La Soul (1991) Doing a song about Santa getting shot is one thing ... and not a very good thing Doing a story about Santa getting shot by his daughter is another thing Doing a story about Santa getting shot because he was molesting his daughter ...

Sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble, Très bien ensemble" (Dont act like you knew what he said after 'belle' LOL) The song wraps up with some classic beat boxing and Doug reminding everyone how fresh he and his crew are Not to be outdone! In 1986 a New Hip Hop Group Super nature made a return record to The Show The Show Stoppa http://eclectikrelaxation.com/Music/TheShowStoppaIs%20Stupid%20Fresh.mp3 Again, after the Roxanne Wars, a response record was the thing to do, this one started off with Sandy D being posed a question similar to Doug E Fresh but ... slightly ... different "Have you ever been to jams were people just stand, they pay to come in and they don’t even dance?" They're Souped ... they're so uncouth, They think they're cute ..." This is when we find out that these are the Salt n Pepa emcees and they introduce us to "The Jam" and instead of the Inspector Gadget Theme, they give us the Revenge of the Nerds theme (From the ending talent show of the first movie) ... pretty dope. So clearly this is a response to the Show, but just in case it's not obvious enough: "Sandy, you know we're breakin hearts you know ... it's all about money though ... But Douglass and Richard won’t like it ... so?" ... come on then lets STOP THE SHOW So much like Roxanne Roxanne and Revenge, where the first song didn’t target anyone, the response had direct aim... "This beat is stupid fresh, awww yeah you know it, cold dissed Doug Fresh" They talk about Rick's Ballys, Gucci Suit and Gold Tooth from La Di Da Di and even sings to mimic The Ruler ... and the beat uses a beat box as well, they include Sally from the Valley and ends the song with dissing Rick walking away Overall two great songs, one was a smash hit and arguably one of the greatest songs in Hip Hop History, the other wasn’t a smash but gave us an introduction to the greatest and most influential female groups in Hip Hop. A MORE Scathing diss was done by The Symbolic Three ... They crush Doug's looks and gear ... Rick's dancing, calls him Gay, a tinkerbell LOL ... the group didnt amount to much, but the song is notable httpv://youtu.be/MnJhNzgzfn8 eclectik no podcast@eclectikrelaxation.com (eclectik)HipHop,OldSchool,Lyrics,Beats,DJs,Emcees,Radio,Twitter,Podcast,Rhyme,BBoy http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/archives/951 http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/archives/951#respond Sat, 23 Nov 2013 00:29:24 +0000 http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/?p=951 http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/archives/951/feed 0 In 1985 UTFO Dropped their first and self titled album coming off the strength of the 1984 single "Hangin Out" b/w the smash "Roxanne Roxanne" - Flanked by Full Force, Kangol Kid, Doctor Ice, The Educated Rapper, and Mix Master Ice mixed Rhymes, In 1985 UTFO Dropped their first and self titled album coming off the strength of the 1984 single "Hangin Out" b/w the smash "Roxanne Roxanne" Flanked by Full Force, Kangol Kid, Doctor Ice, The Educated Rapper, and Mix Master Ice mixed Rhymes, Harmo... eclectik no podcast@eclectikrelaxation.com (eclectik)HipHop,OldSchool,Lyrics,Beats,DJs,Emcees,Radio,Twitter,Podcast,Rhyme,BBoy http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/archives/958 http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/archives/958#respond Thu, 21 Nov 2013 18:36:13 +0000 http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/?p=958 http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/archives/958/feed 0 podcast@eclectikrelaxation.com (eclectik) http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/archives/945 http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/archives/945#respond Sun, 10 Nov 2013 22:06:59 +0000 http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/?p=945 http://eclectikrelaxation.com/HipHop/archives/945/feed 0 Look who's back on the show! - The First lady of the backspin ...

The Hip Hop Skit seems like they've been around on albums forever, but really they popped up in 1989 with De La Soul's classic 3Feet High and Rising when they gave use the De La Game show ... This was played throughout the album which made it even more innovative, let alone the questions: How many feathers are on a Purdue chicken? How many fibers are intertwined in a Shredded Wheat biscuit? What does 'touche et al le pu' mean? How many times did the Batmobile catch a flat? LOL and shoutouts to Don Newkirk and Dante the Scrub ... Not to be outdone, De La Soul is dead featured a comic strip and a Grade School "turn the page" beep in the interludes Unfortunately in the 90s the majority of skits on Hip Hop albums included the emcee receiving oral sex, having sex or smoking weed; I never understood why they thought this would be entertaining to listen to (or picturing ... Hi Biggie) Anyway, I wanted to do a list of my favorite skits from the Golden and Silver era of Hip Hop, so take a read and a listen, if you have favorites or want to comment on your memories or thoughts of these, feel free below or tweet me @TweetRhymesLife Let's get to it! 10. The Infamous Prelude The Infamous (1995) http://eclectikrelaxation.com/Music/InfamousPrelude.mp3 One of the early skits (If you want to call it a skit) of the 90s that did NOT include sex or drug use ... it was a straight message (To we think we know who), it was straight up honest, pissed off P Punching in the face for living will forever be classic 9. "Woodrow the Base Head" Supreme Clientele (2000) http://eclectikrelaxation.com/Music/Woodrow.mp3 People sleep on Woodrow as a skit, mentioned on the "Purple Tape" podcast me and my friends still tell Suzy to throw it out the window ... SU! 8. JD's Gaffilin AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted (1990) http://eclectikrelaxation.com/Music/JDGafflin.mp3 An early classic, JD tellin all yall what use to happen in the Drive thru ... with the most Cali-est of accents you were going to find at the time lol 7. Shark Biters Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... (1995) http://eclectikrelaxation.com/Music/SharkBiters.mp3 The Purple Tape's skits are legend, this one let us in on a beef we didn’t know existed and featured the only time a hard core rapper ever giggled on wax LOL 6. Ghost and Wallys Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... (1995) http://eclectikrelaxation.com/Music/Clarks.mp3 This got everyone hyped to go and dye their Wallys ... better yet, it made everyone want to go and get Wallys ... Ghost's enthusiasm over completing his master plan made everyone want to drip their joints like marble cake. 5. Torture Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) (1993) http://eclectikrelaxation.com/Music/Torture.mp3 Classic for all the wrong reasons, this is the most gruesome, painful skit of them all ... how they tried to outdo each other is only outdone by the sound effects that they provided; everyone can do this one by heart 4. The $20 Sack Pyramid The Chronic (1992) http://eclectikrelaxation.com/Music/20Sack.mp3 A Take on a classic game show (I'll also say a nod to De La's classic *Though I know it isn’t lol) The D.O.C's voice actually makes the skit even funnier 3. Chinese Restaurant The Score (1996) http://eclectikrelaxation.com/Music/ChineseRestaurant.mp3 The Fugees are not known for their humor, or skits ...but this one is so on point ... Hard fried chicken, Flying fists of Judah ... and who knew that's what that other part of the wing was called? Hilarious 2. Is he Dead Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) (1993) http://eclectikrelaxation.com/Music/IsHeDead.mp3 I don’t even know what else to call this, but it's classic. It starts off with the Killer tape, but once "Is he dead" is uttered and Ghosts' reaction!? My personal most quoted skit ever 1.

Momma Gave Birth to the Soul Children Album: All Hail the Queen Year: 1989 Native Tongues Members: Queen Latifah, De La Soul No secret I’m not Queen Latifah fan, she's hands down my least favorite Native tongue member ... she’s never repped the tongues like the others ever. Queen Latifah's debut album, not the best song on the album by a long shot but its notable as one of the first cameos for De La Soul Trugoy with the classic intro, Pos with the assist still in the daisy age ... check it out I remember they played this song on In Living Color while the fly girls danced http://eclectikrelaxation.com/Music/SoulChildren.mp3 9. Doin our own dang Album: Done by the forces of nature Year: 1989 Native Tongues Members: Jungle Brothers, De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, and Monie Love The Tongues seemed to have a ton of fun when they were together, and this song and especially the video illustrated it They even had Plug 3 rhyming! Everyone came with it on the song; Monie Love might've had the best verse This is Native Tongues at tier best ... the styles and the flow all original ... the fashion and hair in the video as well lol A+ http://youtu.be/4xlvLUKRhWw 8. "Saturdays" What your life can truly be Album: Roller Skating Jam called Saturday's single Year: 1991 Native Tongues Members: De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Dres This is NOT A Roller Skating Jam called Saturdays, this is like ... part II; a lot of people never heard this song because they had the De La Soul is Dead album and never bought the single You had to cop the CasSingle!! lol De La and Tribe brought Dres into the mix and made a hit This song might not be better than the "original" ...but anything with Vinia Mojica is great ... plus there's a Woody Woodpecker sample http://eclectikrelaxation.com/Music/WhatYoLifeCanTrulyBe.mp3 7. The Promo Album: Straight out the jungle Year: 1988 Native Tongues Members: Jungle Brothers and Q-Tip The Promo was the first time I ever heard Q-Tip, the Promo's 1 and 2 were great singles (Especially Promo 2 the other side had J Beez comin thru on it) this was people’s instinctive came out This song was an ill simple hip hop JB's joint beats and rhymes "Get it, if not you're a goner" http://eclectikrelaxation.com/Music/The%20Promo.mp3 6. Fanatic of The B Word Album: De La Soul is Dead Year: 1991 Native Tongues Members: De La Soul, Jungle Brothers, Black Sheep Another joint from the De La Soul is Dead album, the Native tongues posse cuts always a party, this one starts with a role call with Dreddy Bear Different flows by all on this song, this was post D.A.I.S.Y age, Dres shows up and kills the dope track as well (Move over just a bit to the right of me, for I cannot see; where the booty is) The shoutouts at the end are classic "And you can't beat that with a baseball bat" http://eclectikrelaxation.com/Music/Fanatic.mp3 5. La Ménage Album: A Wolf in sheep's clothing Year: 1989 Native Tongues Members: black Sheep and Q-Tip This is a different type of song for The Tongues, it's overtly sexual ... and while others have been this is more blatant LOL I mean it's called "La Ménage" The track is crazy, one of my favorite Black Sheep songs ever Basically this is Dres and Mista Lawnge and their sexcapade with a random lucky lady .. and Q-Tip with the wrap up (Tip plus Lawnge, plus the ho equals wet sheets) The talking at the end is hilarious, golden showers and anal tongue darts? lol eclectik no podcast@eclectikrelaxation.com (eclectik)HipHop,OldSchool,Lyrics,Beats,DJs,Emcees,Radio,Twitter,Podcast,Rhyme,BBoy
