great article. thanks for sharing.

Anyone have Treacherous 3 "Santa's Rap" INSTRUMENTAL, per the UK 12":

I love Chubb Rock and Howie Tee was a great producer. I feel both of them don't get enough props for their contributions. I still constantly rock my Chubb Rock album, particularly "And The Winner Is", "The One" and "I Gotta Get Mind Yo (Book Of Rhymes)". "I Gotta Get Mine" has some great rapping on ...

Yeah, I remember that BLS thing. I'd like to see that.

Illest: do you know what the hold up is? Has Marley spoken about it publicly?

Forgot about the Freshco and Miz joint! Thanx for the reminder.

Aleph: That is what I was talking out! Thanx!

How about the Singing MC Breeze Documentary, "Philly Boy", anyone seen that?

I feel like their have been a decent amount of talk/trailers for New/Upcoming Hip Hop films and documentaries. I'm starting to lose track. Has anyone seen any of these below or know of any others?? -Pop Art Label Documentary -Mikey D Documentary -Rumble Kings (Bronx Gangs Documentary) -Street Photog...

Figured some of you hear might appreciate this. I dug thru my collection and put together 30 limited edition packs of a collection of stuff. Peep the science here if you are so inclined: http://www.fifthelementonline.com/blog/fifth-element-black-friday-classic-sticker-pack-super-limited/ Feature tri...

thanx for posting this. I always want to hear more from guys like Flowers and Pete Jones who's names come up a lot in the origins of hip hop but don't have much out there to listen. much appreciated.

will do that. thanx!

does anyone have this Silver Bullet Cassette? I see on discogs that is says it comes with the lyric sheets inside? Did the original vinyl or cd have the lyrics also?? In short, I NEED a scan of those lyrics.... If anyone got the goods let it be known! thanx

glad you peoples are enjoying it!

OK, sorry for the slow reaction but I finally posted up a blog about the album, complete songs to hear and a full download. I also plugged and linked philaflava in there as well. enjoy:

I have always wondered and assumed if the Bomb Squad production here was limited due to the resistance or what have you. They don't sound anything like other Bomb Squad beats so I've always wondered if they started things and didn't finish or if they got altered or reworked. Truthfully, the beats on...

still on the hunt for this joint! I just posted up a in-depth video interview with Egyptian Lover. Lots of great stories and he plays some material from his new album which is classic 80s Electro style: http://www.fifthelementonline.com/blog/ ... interview/

Just did a interview with Egypitan Lover and he talks about a special mix he did for KDAY of Prince's "Irresistible Bitch" that they would play in rotation. Does anyone have this??? Also, he is working a new album titled "1984". He played a few tracks and it is sounding pretty ill, classic 80s style...

I have been searching for years and no luck. The hunt continues. I was just bumping "Payback Part II" yesterday...

I happened across the Sah-B album yesterday and I thought it was a rarity. Glad I dropped that Two Dollars to pick it up!!! Going to covert and post up soon as I get a chance

Question for the peoples, is the Sah-B album out there on the internets? or is it a "lost treasure"?? I did a search and didn't see it but maybe my google game is hurting

sorry I haven't been on here in awhile, with my trip to NYC and all. All good to share and thanx for checking.

William: Here's the freestyle I think you are talking about. the 11 minute joint....

I believe that was the last thing until the Nas "Where Are They Now" [West Coast Remix].

New Blog up on Percee P Includes a freestyle with him and SLD (Sick Lyrical Damager) on South Hampton, NY radio. Plus a couple radio interviews and freestyes from Chicago radio with me in '96 and '97. Plus some demos he did with the Molemen, one which I believe never released?? http://www.fiftheleme...

Just want to say I love this album. I listen to is regularly still...

looks good. just in the text of you post you call it "Poetry Night", you have it right elsewhere but you just call it that there. peace.

Cutmaster DC-You Don't Really Wanna Battle 12": Full single if possible but just the song would be fantastic also... thanks!

Finally posted up this interview Immortal Griffen. He is definitely one my all time favorite Chicago MCs. We cover his complete career up to his recent signing with Scarface Face Mob Records! Plus there's some rare demo downloads circa '92='99... http://www.fifthelementonline.com/blog/redefinehiphop...

Shadowmaster, I was trying to remember what that was about but can't!

Finally all 4 mixtapes are available for D/L with a back story and other treats: http://www.fifthelementonline.com/blog/ ... -mixtapes/

thanx. I will do that. good idea. peace.

for the record, I was tripping earlier, that Big Daddy Kane song is on his Daddy's Home record. The rest I don't think were released though... Plus just to hear the DJ Clue disses is worth checking alone...ha
