Nice work Versive, I'll peep the mix tonight. I was trying to choose some more songs for Volume II and maybe come up with a cover for the mixes, but I've been too busy lately. I'll try to see what I can come up with tomorrow on my day off.

Echo Leader- PM with anything you think should be included that hasn't been mentioned. If I expand the MC list, it shouldn't be a problem to come up with a good list on my own though. Let me know.

OK, I got the Vol. 2 playlist tagged and ready to go. Was gonna include secondary Czars and friends, but realized I had more than enough to create a proper Vol. 2 with only original Czars. There's plenty of non-original Czars and friends featured, but every track contains a verse by at least 1 original Czar. I'll try to get all this zipped by tomorrow so you can peep it Versive and see if the cover I made will work. I just used one of your pictures and slapped a title on it, I'm sure someone could make a better one.

I could try to come up with a little write up for it too, but I might need a little more time for that.

^Thanks.

There's a new King Cesar 45 out, not too great imo, but MIC related nevertheless.

I'll take a look for that Kong one right now aleph, if you still need it.

Seeing this thread bumped made me want to revisit Rodan's Theophany: The Book of Elevations. Such a dope record.

We need to get volume 3 together.

I also want to sit down and compose the essay I alluded to in the first write-up.
...one could go on and on about the sociopolitcal subtext of Japenese monster movies and how it translates to rap music and hip-hop culture as a whole, but let’s save that for another post… maybe.
Anybody here have any ideas as to exactly which movies I should be looking at -- i.e. which movies are best suited to the above analysis, and which M.I.C. specifically sampled?

Not sure if Tommy Gunn is still recording music, but I found these videos of him walking around Long Beach freestyling:

Junclassic produced a song on the on the new billy woods album:

Grimm dropped something called MF Love Songs, which you can sample here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3bHMD ... dLTTg/view" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, cop here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/mf-lo ... d965052405" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

He also dropped a song produced by Parallel Thought:
