Mr. Baaka — Mon, 23 Nov 2015 07:30:07 +0000

From working with the late great J.Dilla to scoring the fastest – and highest – selling video game of all time, Oh No has had quite the career up to this point. With his latest project Animal Serum (a collaboration with Prince Po) dropping February 4th, I was lucky enough to chat with the cali-based super producer. We touched on everything from his music, his love of video games to getting beat tapes from Dilla – can you even imagine? -hiphopcertified.com

Hip Hop 201: The New Sound | Clear Soul Forces

Mr. Baaka — Tue, 15 Sep 2015 17:46:35 +0000

Thanks to all the new listeners and blessings to all the returning folks. So today the focus is on yet another notable name out of the D, Clear Soul Forces. This crew is strictly lyrical to say the least. Energetic and full of machismo this crew is on a mission. Touring nonstop dates and staying in the studio is the focus of this 4 man squad. In-house production for the most part by Ilajde with some guest features and a few household names contributing makes this quintet stay sharp as a tack.

This week on Hip Hop 201 Vol 9: Illa J

Mr. Baaka — Sat, 05 Sep 2015 22:26:35 +0000

This artist is the brother of the late and great J Dilla, and has made quite a name for himself with a fresh sound from the D. The new a release "Timeless" is a great example of his current works. Laced with intricate sweeping crescendos and enhanced melodies that go well with the concept of the song make for a great record. Illa sits down and discusses his current situation and his take on new artists and the business of hip hop. His ideas on artistry independent hustle and his work ethic. The producer of the "Yancey Boys" introduces his singing alter ego John Regal, and Frank Nitt also from the D talks about their movement.

Mr. Baaka — Sun, 30 Aug 2015 22:04:05 +0000

Good Sunday evening to every one! I didn't realize some of my blogs aren't able to play the audio so going there did not provide the best "experience" lol. So I will now include more the good ole written word to convey some of the material we cover. The interview in today's show is provided by Telekom Electronic Beats. Dabrye born Tadd Mullinix was born in Ann Arbor Michigan (about 45 mins from Detroit) and released his first album "One/Three" in 2001. The instrumental album was highly regarded and the Detroit Hip Hop community welcomed him in. In 2004, Dabrye pinned a single called "game over" which featured Phat Kat and J Dilla. He is also teamed up with D'Marc Cantu and created a group called AM/FM. Hope you enjoy today's show.

Hip Hop 201: The New Sound Vol. 5| Flying Lotus

Mr. Baaka — Sun, 09 Aug 2015 03:18:00 +0000

Flying Lotus

Today we discuss hip hop pioneer and scientist flying lotus and his huge and ever growing audience. Hailing from Los Angeles and Great-Grandnephew of Alice and John Coltrane as well as Marilyn McLeod he was seemingly destined to pursue a musical career. In 2006 he released his breakout release "1983" which received a great response. While working on this release he was interning at the pioneering hip hop label Stones Throw Records. Days were spent in their offices, and nights were spent at his grandmothers, working on the music that would become his debut album: 1983. The record (released on LA indie label Plug Research) was an early touchstone for Ellison's eclectic creative mission, forging compressed, spacey and Eastern sounding hip-hop beats, that summoned Madlib as much as Dntel, whilst sampling as far back as 70s Japanese proto-synthpop and 60s jazz harp. It would also feature Laura Darlington, who went on to become a vocal fixture of future albums.

Enjoy the show!

J Rawls

AUDIO ISSUE RESOLVED!!

Today we discuss the Emcee/Producer/Educator J. Rawls. His production skills have proven he is one of the premier artists holding the torch of original boom bap sound of hip hop. His first commercial appearance was on "Brown Skinned Lady" on the BlackStar album. Hailing from Columbus, MD and holding his Masters in education he is also a teacher. After a conversation with his son, he decided that many of our youth do not know about real hip hop and put together one of his finest works, "The Hop Hop Effect" which he will discuss on today's show.

The Hip Hop 101 Eps 19 Common

Mr. Baaka — Tue, 23 Jun 2015 16:06:27 +0000

In my humble opinion, Common is sorely underrated in the realm of emcees mentioned as the elite. His metaphors and punchlines have always been on point and he has done works with many of today's now hip hop legends. Today we celebrate the legacy of our still living legend COMMON. Thank you all for being a part of this Hip Hop 101 series. There are many other artists that I have not yet mentioned that deserve homage as well. That is a bridge to cross on another day. We will now be moving on to a new series called The New Sound where we will begin to expose you all to new emerging hip hop artists that I'm sure you will enjoy.

Next week.. Prefuse-73!

Hip Hop 101 Series Vol 18 Diamond D

Mr. Baaka — Mon, 15 Jun 2015 05:06:57 +0000

Quote the www.DITCENT.com: Lord Finesse is a legendary MC-turned-producer who has produced tracks for Notorious B.I.G. ("Suicidal Thoughts" off of 1994's Ready to Die) and Dr. Dre ("The Message" off of 1999's 2001). As a young MC, he would travel to any borough in New York to battle their best rapper and win. He shopped his demo to various record labels and eventually dropped the first of several records, his 1990 classic Funky Technician. The record had a few tracks produced by his good friend Diamond (formerly Diamond D), a former member of the rap group Ultimate Force. In the mid-'80s, Diamond D was scratching on turntables at late-night park parties, often competing with area top DJs (Showbiz was once his nemesis.) Diamond also spent time DJing with the world famous Jazzy Jay, whom he first met in 1987. In 1992, Diamond transitioned from DJing to taking on the role of producer and MC, and showcased his diverse talents on his debut album "Stunts, Blunts and Hip Hop".

Hip Hop 101 Vol 17 presents: Showbiz & AG

Shout out to my www.thedoover.net party people! Sorry about the late show folks just got.. stable, lol. So today's show is a classic two man squad and founders of D.I.T.C. (diggin In The Crates) crew that boasts members from Lord Finesse to the Late Big L. Today's show is a little longer so sit back and relax, and listen to some commercial free boom bap!

Enjoy! Your welcome.

I messed around and lost power on the road and lost some of the previous broadcast, but was able to get it back! Catastrophe averted! so here is a rebroadcast of the Hip Hop 101 EXCLUSIVE KRS-1 & SCOTT LA ROCK AS A BONUS!! EPISODE for your listening pleasure!!

The Hip Hop 101 Series Vol 16 : Oddisee

Mr. Baaka — Mon, 01 Jun 2015 02:00:00 +0000

Today we discuss the enigmatic emcee and producer that is oddisee. He has been in the game for a long time on the low but has built a great following and is growing steam. Arguably the most versatile music producer the D.C. region, the Sudanese-American composer creates beats for others, he travels the globe six months a year, and his presence was felt back in 2002 on DJ Jazzy Jeff’s Magnificent album. However, Oddisee’s sound is deceptively laidback; his plethora of sounds and palpable use of samples interwoven with live instrumentation add depth and require a certain degree of attention to pick out.
Enjoy!

Hip Hop 101 Presents: Dilated Peoples

Mr. Baaka — Mon, 25 May 2015 05:25:01 +0000

Dilated Peoples

Today we discuss the LA hip hop group Dilated Peoples. The three man crew (Evidence, Rakaa & DJ Babu) have been in the game since 1995. They all have respective solo projects that are worth a listen. The first album was unreleased and is a rare find. DJ Babu is also a member of the influential DJ crew The Beat Nuts and is highly respected in the DJ game.

Enjoy!

Hip Hop 101 Presents: Prince Paul

Mr. Baaka — Mon, 18 May 2015 03:15:49 +0000

Prince Paul

Today we discuss the incomparable DJ Prince Paul. I call this man a legend in the game with no hesitation as he has been and still is an innovator and pioneer. During his days with STETSASONIC he was only 17 and was already making major contributions to hip hop by being in the first hip hop band. He also pushed the limits of what hip hop sounded like by using samples from unorthodox records and sound effects which influenced many producers to use other genres of music, than the typical James Brown and Jazz records many other artists were using about that time.

Da GraveDiggaz

Da Gravediggaz were pinne the inventors of Horrorcore and the Genre has continued to grow, now including many acts such as The Flatlinerz, Hopsin and Tech N9ne. Prince Paul was also a part of the super duo The Handsome Boy Modeling School releasing the dynamic release "So... How's Your Girl?"

Now on to the show...

The Pistol & Mr. Baaka ShOw! Presents: De La Soul

Mr. Baaka — Mon, 11 May 2015 00:20:51 +0000

De La Soul first hip hop group to raise over $600,000 on kickstarter!

The free download of God It. Watch for the NEW De La Soul release thanks (in part to Kickstarter!

This Week we discuss the highly influential group De La Soul. They are the ONLY group in hip hop that has not broken up or released any vocal solo projects, and still features (THE SAME) DJ in the show. Their stage names are Trugoy when reversed spells yogurt, because he likes yogurt, and Posdnuos spelled backwards is "sound sop". The DJ's name is Maseo.

“ The Source magazine listed the album as one of their top 100 hip hop albums of all time, stating that “its true genius is rarely understood”[citation needed]. There are several major differences between the CD version of this album and the other formats, as the tracks “Johnny’s Dead AKA Vincent Mason”, “My Brother’s a Basehead”, “Kicked Out the House”, and “Who Do U Worship?” are only available on the CD. The limited edition double vinyl promotional copies of the album distributed to the media before the official release did not feature these.”

Blessings! Hello to all the new people this week, we see you, and of COURSE many happy thanks to our return audience. Please tell your hip hop loving friends...

So, this week we are going to discuss the two man superhero duo Talib Kweli & Mos Def better known as Blackstar. In 1998, both having individual LP's that were about to drop, they decided to postpone there their individual projects and decided instead to collaborate on a full-length LP. This release entitled "Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star" would embody an all-star Hip-Hop cast of producers from Hi-Tek to J Rawls to Da Beatminerz. The two have been hailed by many to be one of the top 5 classic hip hop Duo's of all time.

Artist and Stop Being Famous contributor Yasiin Bey had the following statement to share regarding the Eric Garner grand jury decision, ongoing unrest in Ferguson, Missouri and around the world. Bey also takes time to address nasty comments made about him in the comment section of World Star.

Hip Hop 101 Vol. 11: Large Professor

Mr. Baaka — Mon, 27 Apr 2015 04:34:14 +0000

Xtra P 1994

Today we discuss the super producer, Emcee and hip hop legend Large Pro, Extra P, or Large Professor to use a few. His influence and continuing contributions to hip hop grow every day. Born and raised in Harlem, NY Large P comes from an area rich with music history and monuments (although many have been torn down like the Harlem Ballroom that used to be the home of many rappers from 1978-86 DJ Donald D, B Fats, Bill Blast, AJ scratch, Love bug Starski) like the Hip Hop hall of fame that was recently opened and inducted The Roots last year.
