Due to the overwhelming amount of content on the Vendetta album I used my review as more of a forum to discuss the lyrical content and decipher the underlying symbolism, pondering the thought process behind the execution of the dark, revolution-laced project. Also, I'm not about to put up my homies whole fucking CD for you assholes so hopefully in the interim you went out and bought that shit and stopped bootlegging my nigs work. So with that being said how about you re-read my shit, leave a comment you lazy fucks and show some respect for all the trill content we provide for you each week! We put a lot of blood, sweat and tears behind some of these pieces and the least you can do is leave a comment bruh! Anyway I digress, enjoy the new selections from Mr. Sche & T-Rocks VENDETTA.

Leave it to some mischievous Asians to attempt such a devious feet as jumping off a trampoline (quite high) and flying 30 some feet in the air dunking the fuck out of the ball like they used to do in the Mascot Dunk Competitions back in the day. Remember the Phoenix Suns Gorilla and the blue dude from the Hornets, they were tight!
FUCK THAT PEEP SPUD WEBB TAKING HOME THE TROPHY BACK IN 86! 5 foot 7 inch Spud Webb shocks Dominique Wilkins and the world with this classic stunning upset!
Back To The Future 2 HOVERBOARD For Sale! - 30K (What the fuck!)
Yeah you think you have what it takes to make this shit levitate? Extremely savvy in industrial engineering and astro-physics? Got 30 G's to spare - hell the fuck no, not for this Movie prop primarly made of some gay ass late 80's - early 90's neon-pink plastic board rocked by Marty McFly AKA Michael J. Fox in the 1989 hit Back to the Future 2. Peep the infamous scene where McFly dips on the pink floater rocking some space age Nikes. (extra high top moon boots and shit lol)Also why the fuck do they have an 87 Jeep Grand Cherokee floating in the background, where'd the budget go motherfuckers? How the hell did I ever like this movie" Oh yeah I was like 10 at the time and internet porn had yet to be created lol. Still had those VHS junts and mags from my old man's stash hahahah.
JESUS SEEN IN CAT FUR! No comment, this whole seeing Jesus and Saints in grilled cheese sandwiches, Dorito chips, tree bark and other nonsense is getting to be ridiculous already!
KILLER BEAN FOREVER!
This animation by former Hollywood 3-D animation guru Jeff Lew is the latest installment in a long going series about a bean, wait - a BAD ASS bean! Jeff took 4 years off of work to put mad effort and detail into this high quality banger with what appears to be somewhat of a budget! I think they got dude from The Green Mile (Michael Clarke Duncan) to add his deep ass voice to the cast Hahaha. The slow motion shooting sequences are hilarious. Peep the Face-Off style twin gold pistols with the Dragon engraving! Killer Bean Forever!
Killer Bean has come a long way, here's where it all began...

Cannibal Ox's Vast Aire and Vordol epitomize all that is obscurely cosmic gutter rap. You can literally taste the rust from chewed up razor blades as the sounds and verbage from this junkyard NYC back alley duo echo in your ear drums. I may just get extremely lifted and drop a whole piece on the classic "Cold Vein" one of these days. Until then, help yourself to a raw serving of some of the most recent material from these cloaked Cannibals:
Vast Aire feat Vordol and prod from the legend Pete Rock: "Mecca and the Ox" Pete came very El-proesque on this junt off of Vast's new record, "Dueces Wild"
Can Ox: "AK 47"
Can Ox: "From the Planet of Eat"
Bonus Juntastics!!! Can Ox and DJ Rob Swift: "Cosmos"
We only review records we are extremely fond of, typically the ones' well accompanied by a ginormous cloud of spliff smoke and bitter sweet nostalgia, so naturally, haters are more than encouraged to continue reading.
So Nasty Nas dropped an album previously said to be released under the title of a racial epithet, but so "controversial" he instead left it untitled due to the overabundance of pressure tyrannizing down from the powers bestowed upon a select group of individuals born without genitals. Oh, and for the sake of impartial honesty, I'm a spick, and the album would have been called nigger, we clear? Now that the least important part of the record has been discussed, although the media seems to slowly pleasure themselves on the album title alone, let's keep it moving onto what should be the only important aspect out of any Nas project, the fucking music.
"...they pray please god, let em spit that uzi in the army lining, that shorty doowop rollin oowops in the park reclining..." -Nas on "Queens Get The Money"
After nine studio records and an armada of impeccable verses, the talking heads still cross their sticky green fingers in hopes of another "Illmatic", what a snore. Bra, it's been over a decade, drop it... that record was by far beyond classic, but my expectations would be dumb enough to wear a fucking halftard helmet if that's where the bar was placed. Besides, you can't expect anyone to bring back a pioneering early 90's style in 2008, that is ridiculously absurd. I mean, do you see me blazing some shwag ass regular nuggery from back in the day? No way, we've upgraded, we lounge with cereal bowls filled with super purple penicillin, and that is exactly where Nas' cadence, style, and word choice has evolved to. He executes lines all over the record with such precision DJ's should be able to cut the grooves backwards while a pair of voluptuous stripper titties are bouncing in their grill. The flavorful choice of gutter phrases spliced with literary word choice displays a certain level of maturity only a trill seasoned veteran can harness. And the selection of beats produced by exceptional artists who aren't necessarily spotlighting but bang sounds out the barracks compliment kid wave's style to perfection (such as Salam Remi, Jay Electronica, Stic.man from Dead Prez, Mark Ronson, Polow Da Don...). Albeit, most of the new generation may turn a curled ear towards the beats, mainly because they'll malfunction and blow masses of fucking iphones to smithereens if used as ringtones, (that's cause they're raw beats dickhead, those that didn't understand or took offense should gargle horse urine out a pimp cup).
But does he tackle the topic effectively? Well, the percussion-less introduction by Jay Electronica allows Nas to explain his position on the project with the rhetoric of a misunderstood thinker, a prisoner of words bound to poetic dust torn between a corrupt industry of jingle peddlers and founders of the greatest cultural and musical era since jazz. From the basic concepts painted with intricate imagery on "You Can't Stop Us Now" (yo he got dude from the stylistics on that joint!) , to the more meaningful tone towards bullshit media coverage on "Sly Fox", to the superb single "Hero", Nas puts together a work of musical expressionism layered deeper than just exploitation, controversy, messages, and concepts. Regardless, "Fried Chicken" and "Project Roach" have single handedly butchered any album cut from any artist this year, chew on that...
Dudes record leaked, had no marketing or promotion, and still sold off the shelves. Wow, who would of thought generating a solid fan base would allow you to make music your way without throwing on a mask...
Big Ghost in the Mothafuckin House! Peep this new B-B-BANGER produced by the awe inspiring J Dilla or "Jay Dee" (R.I.P)
Such a shame to lose such a talented musical genius but it's great to see a lot of new releases incorporating Dilla production (Like Ghost, Raekwon, Busta, Nas, etc. ) I assume to support his fam and estate which has suffered sever losses due to excessive bootlegging after his passing. Any real Hip-Hop head and appreciator of original, music and quality production go out and cop his shit, they're all classics and his fam has to eat.
Amongst my favorite producers like Pete Rock, DJ Premier, RZA, Marley Marl, Madlib, Alchemist, El-P, DJ Shadow, Prefuse 73, 9th Wonder etc.Dilla orchestrates and molds expansive mini-worlds with his unique blends of sounds and samples and encompasses the true essence that is Hip-Hop. With that being said... here's some Donuts for your Friday Breakfast!
