So I wasn’t going to jump in on this soundtrack game but i was flipping through the channels last night and to my surprise Dave Chappelle's "Block Party" was on. I immediately think of the multiple posts we have been doing about Soundtracks Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, The Trav Edition and The Forgotten Soundtrack but Chappelle's Block Party hasn’t been mentioned.
Dave Chappelle's block Party was a great documentary in my opinion. It was cool to see him bring together a bunch of musicians to perform out on "The Block.”
So despite my want to keep out of the soundtrack game here is Dave Chappelle's “Block Party

5x5 Day Five: Trav's Favorite Songs with "Love" In The Title and Five Sex Songs (Bonus)
Ahhh love, that word "love", is a very serious thing.... KRS-One
Unless you see it on WYDU, then you can probably guess that there is nothing serious about the word love. I'm really, do you think I was going to get all mushy on a Friday? Fuuuuuuck that! I was cruising through some songs, and noticed the word "love" is often seen. Now, some of the songs has some love overtones to them, kinda....but they are just what the long ass title up there says they are. They contain the world "love" in the title. Nothing crazy, just what it says it is....
1. Common - I Used to Love H.E.R.
The ultimate "love" song. What can I say about this song that hasn't been said already? It is a "love song" in the sense, but you know the story.
2. Boogie Down Productions - Love's Gonna Getcha
One of my top 5 all-time favorite BDP songs. And that statement ain't no joke, love will get your ass if your not careful
3. Masta Ace - Good Ol' Love
A-to the-C-E drops another classic "love" banger. 9th Wonder did his thing on this track as Ace just runs wild with it. It's kind of a touching song on the reminiscent level.
4. I-n-I - Don't You Love It
I can remember picking this album up in Vegas at the old HipHopSite.com store while I was there with my girlfriend, way back in 2002. I loooooved this track and kept playing it over and over in the hotel room. The girlfriend finally came to like it herself after hearing it 25 times plus that weekend.
5. (Tie) Blue Scholars - Still Got Love & Blu & Exile - No Greater Love
I had to go with a couple newer joints, the new "classics" so to speak. I have a feeling when I look back ten years in the future, I will look at these two joints as classics of the age. Both tracks do the word "love" justice.

Has-Lo - You Can Live Thru Anything If Magic Made It
The place is here, the time is now. After dropping numerous teasers, we are finally dropping Has-Lo's remix project You Can Live Thru Anything If Magic Made It. I know for a fact that Has put a lot of work into this project. I was lucky enough to hear several tracks before he shipped me the complete project a week or so ago, and take it from an "unbiased" source, everything is hot. Those of you who follow WYDU, know I've been pretty high on Has since he hit me up with his Fuck Has Day EP back in December of 07. Since then, I've witnessed Has grow as an artist, and even though I've been his "ears" for numerous songs, beats, and projects over the past year, he still is able to surprise me.
I'll be the first to admit, I take Has' production skills for granted. He's such a dope MC as we've all witnessed on tracks like "Unsigned MCs", "Small Metal Objects", and "The Quiet Things", that you forget that he produced all those tracks on both of his EPs, except for one track off of Small Metal Objects. Has wanted to showcase his skills on the MPC, and I think he has done that quiet adequately on this release. His version of "Leather Face" by Big Pun is as good, if not better than the original. He laces up "Best To Do It" by Royce, Elzhi and Supastition the way it should have been in the first place and he makes Ghostface's "Love Session" all his own.
So if you are a fan of dusty, boom bap beats, remix projects, or just magic in general, do yourself a favor and check it out. Leave a comment for my man, I'm sure he'd love to hear what you think of it, good, bad or indifferent.
01 Intro02 Big Pun - Leather Face (has-lo remix)
03 O.C. - Time's Up (has-lo remix)
04 Royce Da 5' 9, Elzhi & Supastition - Best To Do It (has-lo remix)
05 Cormega - Montana Diaries (has-lo remix)
06 Interlude #1

08 Sean Price - Onion Head (has-lo remix)

Common Remix Album
Download The Album Below
From Beatnik & K Salaam
Okay, so here is the story: for the last 4 months I have been heavy on the grind. Spending most of my time throwing shows, DJing clubs/events, doing interviews, building relationships with artists, setting up tours, shopping beats, etc... Now, while I was busy doing all of that, my production partner, the young and multi-talented Beatnick, was heavy in the lab cooking up some new sounds. I remember there was a little stretch where we hadn't spoken to each other in a minute, and he almost seemed like a different person. I had a hunch that he had stumbled upon some new musical ideas. Then I recall very clearly walking into his studio one day and being completely blown away when all of the sudden the most vibrant and dynamic sounds that I had ever heard completely took over me. I realized right then and there that his musical capabilities had reached another plateau in that he was creating something that was completely new, and did not sound like anything that had come before it. 99% of artists never reach that point. I'm talking even great artists...
I will say this, I have been around what I consider to be some of the most talented people of our generation: Just Blaze, Pharoahe Monch, Sizzla, Buju Banton, Bobbito Garcia, Suheir Hammad, Mos Def, and others... I can say in all honesty that Beatnick is on the same level as these people. I am aware that this is a bold statement, but I know what I see and even more importantly, -> I know what I hear.
With that said, the sounds that I heard coming out of Beatnick's studio that day would ultimately be the building blocks to what defines us as a production team; and in my humble opinion, what is going to define the direction of music for years to come. Okay, so maybe my opinion isn't so "humble," but at least it's honest. Either way, this project is what is going to introduce us to the world. And for that, I am proud and excited.
One thing about this Common Remix Project that you cannot say is this: you cannot say that we didn't create a new sound.

Philaflava's 100 Greatest Obscure Tracks :The Bonus Tracks aka Trav's Picks Part II
"I woke up early on my born day....." - Nas.
I'm another year older this morning as I am now old enough to run for president. I have nothing left to look forward as far as milestones, except senior citizen discounts. Yeah, great. I don't really feel like getting into a big long post about turning older like I did last year, but if someone has a copy of the mix I threw up last year on my birthday, I'd be much obliged. I didn't feel like piecing back together and it wasn't on my computer. I'm sure it's on a disc somewhere, but I don't have the time to find it, if it is even unpacked. Just another day as far as birthday's go. I'm going to my incredibly boring, yet tense job today and then coming home and working on my other things. This weekend, Saturday to be exact, I'm celebrating it. Some drinks, a W.C. show here in town and I'm sure I'll end up drinking to much and making an ass out of myself before the end of the night, some people never grow up.
Back to the Bonus cuts from the Philaflava Top 100 "Hard To Find, Less known, Kind of Obscure" tracks, as felt by ME......
****ALL Tracks Featured****FIXED
Almyghty Myghty Pythons - Curve Your
Nerve (Hiero Imperium, from the 12 inch single with "Amp", "Curve Your Nerve", & "Contact", 2002)
The Almyghty Myghty Pythons were one of those super groups that sounded great, but never really materialized. We did, however get a single out of the Souls of Mischief/Pharcyde (Bootie Brown and Imani), which is more than we get out of most of the rumored collaborations. I'm not saying this track or single is an instant classic, but it has a nice smooth flow to it, with production by A Plus that utilizes an almost spanish sound guitar lick. The hook gets in your head like a bad dream and you end up muttering it to yourself most of the day. It would have been interesting to hear what a full project between the two would have sounded like.
Black Sheep - Still In The Ghetto (Mercury, on the "Similak Child" b/w "Still In The Ghetto" 12 inch single, 1992)
I snatched up the "Similak" cassette single back in the day, which had a blurred out picture of a nipple, which excited my 18-year old hormones. Since then, this song was rather hard to run across for whatever reason. I remember a group of us was looking for a decent rip of this track with no luck. I'm guessing it's a leftover from "A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing", which would be unfortunate, because it could have hung on that album. The Sheep drop a ill horn sample over several familiar drum breaks, basslines and piano chords. Lyrically, the song would have fit in well with the other collection of tracks found on "A Wolf....", although it carried a slightly more serious overtone to it.
Common - Tekzilla (2000-2001?, from the "Unreleased Shit" 12 inch which had "Tekzilla" b/w "1-9-9-9", on a white label)
If I remember right, "Tekzilla" was supposed to be on Hi-Tek's first solo opus, but was ditched due to sample issues. It's most unfortunate, because this song is one of my favorite Common songs. Common drops a story of sorts, rollin' thru the streets of Chicago when he catches beef with a cat and ends up throwin' blows and giving the dude an eye jammie after having a fight with his woman. I guess I just like the vibe of the story. The beat is freakin' amazing as well. Tek hooks up a piano sample with some horn stabs that just make you feel like you about to throw blows with some dip shit talking smack. Great mood music, as both the lyrical performance and music make you feel the whole situation.
Dismasters - Small Time Hustler (Urban Rock Records, featured on the "Small Time Hustler" b/w "You Must Be Crazy" 12 inch, as well as the "And Then Some" LP, Single from 1987, the LP in 1989)
I know I said I didn't like using tracks from albums, but then again, most albums are not as obscure as the "And Then Some" LP from the Dismasters crew. The Dismasters consisted of Raven T and Mike Ski and were back by Chuck Chillout, who also produced this track. I've always loved this track since the late 80's. I've often said that the late 80's were my favorite era in hip hop and this song is a prime example of why that is. The production is on some drum break and sample type of thing, but it's what I loved about the 80's. The two members are no Rakim on the mic neither, but put everything together and it just makes for a great song.
Funkmaster Flex & The Ghetto Celebs feat Charlie Brown, Old Dirty Bastard and Biz Markie - Nuttin' But Flavor (Wreck Records, on the "Nuttin' But Flavor" b/w "Live at the Pallidum" 12 inch, 1995)
Triva question: What was the first song to play on the very first WYDU Classic? Answer: this track, "Nuttin' But Flavor". Another joint I went out and bought on a cassette single. I played the shit out of this track, mainly because it would never be on any full length LP, so I thought I was pretty cool for owning it. There was a video for it, which is how I was introduced to it. The beat is simple, but it's got some catchy piano keys that pop up on it. Then of course you have three very different MC's, and all three come in a completely different way, so you have a very entertaining joint.
Kamikaze feat Nas, Cormega & Akinyele - On The Real (White label? early 90's)
Trying to find info on this is a bitch. BUT...From what I remember, this song was an originally a Kamikazee track and not a Nas track, that most sources credit it to. Kamikazee was a Queens MC that was around in the very early days. I don't know much else about him other than he was the subject of LL Cool J's ire on "I'm Bad" track. This shit is flyyyyyyyyyyy, you might know the Nas version already, and the track is some nasty ass vinyl version, meaning lots of cracks, but it's hip-hop history. True Queens shit.
Live Squad - Heartless (Tommy Boy, from the "Murderahh" b/w "Heartless
" 12 inch, 1992)
The internet has made this track not as rare as it once was, with the unreleased full length "Game of Survival" floating around. Originally, the single with "Heartless" was the only thing floating around from the Live Squad. Big Stretch was the main member of the Live Squad, who was down with Tupac. Some say he was in on the set up of Pac in New York when Pac was shot five times or whatever it was. A year later to the date, Stretch was found dead, killed execution style. Not much was ever said about it after that. Tommy Boy fuc ked up this release and never dropped the LP properly, although it appears plenty of promos made it out there. "Heartless" had a video out on MTV that made me look all over hell for this song, but never could find it. I also just found out there was a video for "Murderahh", which I never knew.
Masta Ace - Splash (Tommy Boy Black Label, from the "Hip Hop 101" LP, 2000)
As far as I know, Splash was never released commercially as a single. Which means it's on an album, but the album is a compilation of stuff from the Black Label which was run by Tommy Boy. The album wasn't all that popular, but I was a sucker for this Masta Ace song. So maybe it isn't all that obscure, but I couldn't pass it up to post another J-Love/Ace joint. These two worked so well together, but I guess it wasn't meant to be as Ace won't answer any questions concerning J-Love, so whatever I guess.
Pete Rock feat Grap Luva - Collector's Item (Up Above Records, from the "Collector's Item" b/w "Blindsided" single, 2003)
"Collector's Item" was one of the more "obscure" 12 inchers dropped by the Chocolate Boy Wonder in the past. Only five years old, you don't hear much about this joint. I want to say it was sold originally as a hiphopsite.com only release, then later picked up.....but I could be completely wrong with that. Grap Luva spits over a fairly simple Pete beat, but I've still always felt this track and always make sure it stays on my computer.
Science of Sound - Who Got The Funk feat Phife (Science Of Sound, from the self titled EP/12 inch, 1995)
Not a lot is known about this joint, from Science of Sound aka S.O.S. I want to say they were ATCQ project, as Tribe produced a track and of course this track, "Who Got The Funk" which featured a healthy dose of Phife. It lives up to its name as a funk filled track blesses Phife and his homies as they just kick rhymes that mean nothing, but still sound good.

Philaflava's 100 Greatest Obscure Tracks :The Bonus Tracks aka Trav's Picks
We've spent the last couple weeks going over what a committee thought were the best "obscure" tracks. What did we learn? Get nine people together to discuss hip hop music and make a "best of" list of any kind and it's nearly impossible. Oh, and that the term "obscure" is rather relative.
As we put the cherry on top and put an end to this little series, I figured I would post up my personal FAVORITES (read: joints I like) hard-to-find, not your run of the mill, not found on an album, or any other term I can use for "obscure" without actually using it. I wouldn't say this is all of them, but they are the ones that were off the top of my head AND actually on my computer. I've long had personal favorite songs that were not necessarily readily available to every Tom, Dick and Harry with a blog. Not saying that these are super hard to find either. I haven't tried, but I'm sure if you did some looking, you could probably track down most of these (most of these have appeared in one form or another on this blog) nor am I any better for having these. I'm still the same chump working a crappy job, dreaming of being the next Paul Rosenberg, Russell Simmons or Kevin Powell. Enough with the introductions....my ass is tired so heeeeere we go.....
Link To All Of Part One
Ace Lover - Area Codes 1(212) feat C-Rayz Walz (Marcion Records, from the "Area Codes" b/w "Lucky 7" 12 inch, 2000
I mentioned last week that you would see Ace Lover pop up on this list before it was all said and done. Ace Lover had two singles out during the turn of the century that I loved, "Weed Spots" and this single, "Area Codes 1(212)". Produced by DJ Rust, the beat was sparse, with a simple drum track that had a piano loop on top of it. It was basic but effective. The true gem of this song is listening to Ace Lover kick his rhymes. I'm someone who listens to be beats first and foremost, so it takes an extremely talented or catchy MC for me to be about the lyrics and Ace Lover is both. I remember hearing this track on UGHH back when you could listen to tracks before purchasing (maybe they still do that) then went and found it on Audio Galaxy or maybe it was Napster. Regardless, this track got a ton of play and is still one of the reasons I'm waiting for a full length album from Ace Lover.
R.A. The Rugged Man feat Akinyele - What The...... (White Label, from the 12 inch of "What The..." b/w "Stanley Kubrick", 1998 or 1999?)
"What The...." is as crazy as you might think when looking at this pairing for the first time. Armed with what sounds like a kids choir singing the hook, which consists of saying "Whaaaaat the fuuuuuck, whaaaat the fuck is going on". The beat is minimalistic in nature, but it's perfect to hear RA and Ak just rip shit to shreds. I've had a hard time finding any info on this track at all. No year, no producer, not much of anything is listed about it nor do I hear many people talking about this classic track. What the fuck?
Amad Jamal - The Renaissance (ABB, from the "The Renaissance" 12 inch, 2001)
One of my most puzzling mysteries came to a close last week, when one of Amad Jamal's band members emailed me, alerting me that AJ was still making music and planning on dropping an album in the next month or so. Great news, since I've often wondered what happened to Amad Jamal after dropping two DOPE 12 inch singles back in 2001. Every song he has put out has my stamp of approval on it, but "The Renaissance" was my favorite out of the handful of tracks he did. Produced by Joey Chavez, the track uses a sample that again I should know, but don't. Regardless, it's beatufully produced and full of the LA underground goodness that I loved during this time. Amad Jamal is also one hell of an MC. He drops many memorable lines on this track. Good to hear him coming back (and the songs I've heard have all been dope, like he hasn't missed a beat).
Common - Can-I-Bust feat Y-Not (Relativity, from the "Soul By The Pound (Thump Mix)" b/w "Can-I-Bust" & "Heidi Ho" 12 inch, 1993
Hailing from one of my favorite 12 inch singles ever, or in my case, favorite cassette singles, I was having troubles trying to decide whether to include the b-side or the a-side. I figured most heads should have heard the "Thump" mix of "Soul By The Pound", so that left the equally dope flip side, "Can-I-Bust". I wasn't crazy about Common as an MC on that first album, but this track, which dropped quite awhile after "Can I Borrow A Dollar", gave a glimpse at what Common would later become as far as a talented MC. Even his guest, Y-Not, was entertaining as well. The beat uses an upright bass sample for the schizophrenic bassline along with some horn samples littered around the track. Truly one of my favorite b-sides.
Craig Mack - Wooden Horse (from the "What's The Worse That Could Happen" OST, 2001)
You learn something everyday. I just learned that Craig Mack's "Wooden Horse" was on a movie soundtrack. Never knew. So this might not be so hard to find as I once thought it might be. Oh well. Regardless, I was a Craig Mack fan, well I enjoyed his first album at least, but then he kind of disappeared. He would pop up again, after his sophomore album fizzled, in 2001 with this Frank Sinatra sampled track that his a certified head nodder. I'm actually surprised this didn't have sample issues, since Frank isn't exactly the easiest artist to clear samples for. Regardless, if you haven't heard this track in the past, it's worth a listen.
Das EFX - Hard Like A Criminal (East/West, from the "Straight Out The Sewer" b/w "Hard Like A Criminal", 1992)
When I learned that there were equally wacked out kids out on the internet collection hip hop like I was, "Hard Like A Criminal" was one of the first tracks I started looking for. The track has long been a favorite of mine, after I bought the cassette single for "Straight Out The Sewer" way back when. The track was also mentioned in an interview with Das in The Source as the only track that wasn't included on their first album. The reason being was it didn't seem to fit, which they are right. The sound, the story telling, all would have stood out like a green thumb on an album that featured mostly freestyled lyrics. No question that I had to include this track.
Donte (of Mood) - Heat (4 Da Streetz) (Wish Masta Entertainment, from the "Heat (4 Da Streetz) 12 inch, 2003)
One of the newer songs included on this list, "Heat" is one of those songs that never got the attention it deserved. It's actually kind of surprising though, since the beat was produced by Hi-Tek, who at the time was still carrying a strong reputation as a beat maker. The beat is the shining aspects of the track as Hi-Tek hooks up some booming drums that reminds me of the drums used on "Move Somethin'" from the Reflection Eternal album. It's also very dark, with an ill vocal sample that fits the mood well. Donte, who was Hi-Tek's crew group member in Mood, is a strong lyricist as well, which makes me wish he'd drop his own album one of these days.
Frankenstein - Rain Is Gone (Knowledge of Self, from the "Rain Is Gone" b/w "All Hands" 12 inch, 1996)
Another artist that I've pumped up quite often on this blog. To me, Frankenstein is my all-time favorite "Obscure" artist and I don't have a problem using that label on his either. The T.Dot producer/MC is one of the more underrated cats in the game in my humble opinion. Frankie Ano aka Frank Fallico aka Frankenstein first dropped his first single in 94' and by 95' he had his "Knowledge Of Self" label that he dropped numerous 12" singles along with his only "Official" LP, the UV album, which was more of an EP with some of his tracks and instrumentals. He also had a white label album "Live From New York Remix Album" the same year back in 97'. Some of his remixes for artists (unofficial remixes) are so dope that cats should have been checkin' for his production skills back then instead of messing with some of the crap that was out there.
I'm not sure what it is about Frank's sound that is so appealing to me, but he definitely has a "sound" to his beats that are very compelling to me. I first heard him on a Salt Lake City hip hop radio show when they played "The Rain Is Gone" back in 98'. Immediately I was fiendin' for this track. Luckily enough I had the tape deck recording that night and that tape became a prized possession. The only problem though, was that I didn't know who he was and at that point in time, if I didn't know who an artist was, it was sure that no one else that I knew would know who he was and this was before the internet really took off (it's crazy, but true, we didn't have the internet to look up all this shit back in those days...and I walked up hill in the snow both ways to school). The internet did pay off in the form of these blogs about a year ago, I ran into someone that posted up some tracks and "The Rain Was Gone" was one of them.
Frescho & DJ Miz - We Don't Play (Tommy Boy, from the "We Don't Play" "Ain't U Frescho" b/w "Now Ya Know", 1990)
What do you get when the 1989 New Music Seminar DJ Champion hooks up with the 1989 New
Music Seminar MC Champion? Well you get a pretty dope 12" and a song that got some play on "Yo! MTV Raps" back in the day. DJ Miz continued the legacy of the Philly DJ's during the late 80's and has some great cuts on this track. Frescho was a Brooklyn MC, that seems to pop up from time to time, but never really took off. He had a track called "Planet Brooklyn" that was produced by Primo. It's said he is on the Christian Hip Hop tip now.
The group never released an album, which is unfortunate, because it would have been interesting to see what they could have done. This track was the A-side to said 12", the b-side was "Ain't U Frescho?" & "Now Ya Know". This track is pretty dope in terms of lyrics and scratches. Frescho has a pretty quick rapid fire type flow and a commanding voice. Miz cuts up shit nicely through out the whole song. The beat itself seems kind of dated. I played it for a friend of mine and he curled his nose up and said it sounded wack, guess you had to be there to appreciate it. I've been told that that is was all they released, which is unfortunate.
Masta Ace - N.F.L. (Not For Long) (Replay Records, from the 12 inch "N.F.L. (Not For Long)" b/w "Warfare", 1999)
I would probably dare to say "NFL" is my favorite non-album Masta Ace track. It features J-Love on the beats, and to this day, I've never understood why he hasn't produced any tracks for any of Ace's albums. Ace displays some good old fashioned story telling with this track. It deals with the fact that if you are on top, it won't be for long. The track would drop when Ace was in between his "Sittin' On Chrome" LP and the "Disposable Arts" LP, when he was dropping a lot of 12 inch singles. A lot of those are said to be from the lost Big Beat LP (no don't ask me, because I don't have it) that got shelved in '97 or so, but I'm pretty sure "NFL" was made after that fact. Production wise, the beat is remarkable. The strings are melodic and you get sucked into the story, although short and sweet. I've often played this beat over and over in my head. The beat just fits it all together nicely.
Ras Kass - Oral Sex (Priority Records, on the "Oral Sex" 12 inch promo, 1999)
Just why a Ras Kass track that was produced by the Beatminerz wasn't properly released is a perfect example why Priority dropped the ball more than once when it came to Ras. Probably on top of the list for my favorite and most talent left side artists, this track is nothing but fire. Da Beatminerz dropped some serious shit on this track, with their trademark deep ass bassline and dusty productions. Ras is on some other shit lyrically on the track. Dropping one liner after one liner. It was songs like this that made him one of the best and also marks why it was such a waste that he never blew up.
Sticky Fingaz - Jackin' For Beats '99 (White Label, on the "Jackin' For Beats '99" 12 inch promo, 1999)
Before my addiction to the Black Album/AG remixes, I had an addiction to the “Jack
in’ For Beats” tracks that were coming out at a weekly clip at one time. I loved the original from Cube, I’m not sure what it was, but it just got me amped. In ’99, Sticky Fingaz released his version of “Jackin’ For Beats” complete with a 50 cent dis and some GREAT lines. You can’t help wanting to get up and punch someone while listening to this version. This is right when Sticky went solo and it was a great way to throw his hat in the ring. He jacked bigged name stars such as Jay, Nas, and Busta, and in some cases, sounded better on the beats than the original artist. That was the reason Cubes original version became so wildly popular in the first place. Unfortunately, or fortunately, I quickly became cured of the “Jackin’ For Beats” obsession when I realized that most of these songs sucked.
