Emcees U Should Have Heard Of...Strong Arm Steady

Another day at the office begins with the usual chatter of who should be featured as a artist at the offices of OMGP WTF. The process that happens at the round table is often gut wrenching and at sometimes violent. Like the time Ms. ( not gonna say her name) got made enough about one of my suggestions that she through a cd a my head. I assume she was doing this because she hated the group so bad or that she loved hip-hop so much. Anyway however her passion was displayed that day, I still have a lot of respect for her views on hip-hop and now understand the pecking order at the OMGP WTF blog offices. So as I was was doing some research at a unnamed record shop( which usually makes my allergies act up) I came across a interesting album artwork cover. What do you know, it was from the good people at Stones Throw Records. I immediately bought the vinyl and made a b line for the basement area that doubles for the basement area of both the OMGP WTF offices and the Multi-Man tha Skipso offices. I found the esoteric Multimanthaskipso, on the one's and two's of his technique turn tables spinning a array of classic hip-hop joints. What a great time to get a listen to the vinyl I had just bought. Classic, Classic Madlib production is how to best describe the Strong Arm Steady, Madlib produced album, "Stoney Jackson"...The emcees of Phil Da Agony and Krondon dominate this latest effort with Mitchy Slick's presence not often represented as much as the other two. Strong Arm Steady, is a Cali( California) based group with Mitchy Slick reppin for San Diego and both Phil and Krondon reppin for L.A. The music of this group is a healthy alternative to the often gang dominated hip-hop scene....Madlib does the production in standard form as said by Multi. So here we gooooooooo the group is called Strong Arm Steady, The album is the Madlib produced opus called "Stoney Jackson"...Pedro Parker out...Oh yeah and to the person that flatten my back wheel on my scooter, thanks for making me have to occur extra bill money this week to get it fixed...........

Emcees U Should Have Heard Of...Slum Village

Today is a sad day at our blog offices and in the hip-hop world alike. Today we witness another group of legendary status break up and begin a journey of solo careers. This group is....Slum Village...When I got the news of this I(Pedro Parker) headed down to the basement of the OMGP WTF offices to talk to the profound and sometime cocky Multi-Man tha Skipso..On this day as I entered the basement. I found Multi in a somber like state eating Plantanos and drinking Brugal...So I thought why not just come out with the questions..This is a following account of how it went..PP: Yo Mult what's up? MM: Oh its you again. PP: Did you hear about the break up of Slum Village? MM: WTF? WTF? What are you talking about yo? S Villa broke up. PP: Yeah it was announced that this is probably their last cd. MM: Ahhhh hell naw, man that group is one of dopest groups of all time. The D(Detroit) is known for having some of illest emcees in hip-hop. Thanks for making my bad day go worst. PP: Sorry to break the news to you man MM: Well after hearing this...Let the door nob hit you where the GOD LAWD SPLITCHA!!! So with that said along with a couple of choice spanish words. The interview was ova.. So with that being that I would like to say SALUTE to one of the greatest groups of all time Slum Village aka Slum Villa u have helped me get plenty of women with your chick ballads, you have helped me with my vocab with your extra ordinary usage of english language and you have help me keep my steez popping with your profound style...Cheers..Pedro Parker signing off...P.S. The following are videos from the upcoming album R.I.P. Dilla and Batin..

Freestyle

Just the other day, we at the offices of the OMGP WTF blog had a heated argument in the offices about free-styling in regards to being a emcee. Once the crazy guy from the basement Multi-Man tha Skipso walked in the offices he had a few choice words about how important it is and how it effects the climate in hip-hop today. The following are excerpts from Multi-Man Tha Skipso's tirade in our offices. "So who believes free-styling is some bull or doesn't make sense? Raise your hand!!! You two guys over there with your hands raised, you two are fired, pack ya ish and get the hell out of here. Yeah Gash gave me that authority. Anybody else feel the the same. Okay, its the thinking that those to clowns have that has hip-hop in the stupid commercial stuck state that it is in now. As a emcee, I feel...Hold up I know that free-styling is what every emcee needs to be able to do. It makes interviews more interesting, it makes the process of song writing more intricate also. Imagine you listening to the radio on your way home in traffic and you hear your favorite rapper, rapping off the top of his head(free-Styling) about being stuck in traffic. See this is true talent and what music should be about in the first place. I once seen a drummer from Tha F.A.C.U.L.T.Y. of Nu High( a local band) go head to head with there lead emcee on the mic. As I looked at the crowd in attendance I understood why this art form was so important and so lost. The emcee and drummer switched patterns so many times that the audience experience 5 songs in 5 minutes without even knowing it. So I say this to all of you who feel that free-styling isn't important. Why spend money to see a show and hear exactly what u have on the cd in your car, when you can spend money to see a show and hear additional music. Real emcees freestyle and hip-hop needs it more on a daily basis". With that said and seeing the passion that Multi, expressed I now understood where he comes from with his sometimes unrealistic demands for perfection at this blog offices. Pedro Parker signing off...Oh yeah here is a freestyle from Sean Price..Salute..........

Duck Down Music 15 Year Video Montage

Today we at OMGP WTF want to salute Duck Down Records for doing their thing for 15 years. This group has brought some of the best hip-hop gems ever to your local college stations and personal i-pod players. SO after a game of paper scissors rock Pedro Parker lost and had to do what no one else in the office wanted to do. I Pedro Parker was force to go to the basement of our office's and interview MultiManthaskipso. I found Mult with his ever present mask on smoking a black and listening to music from AHZ the New Face of Sound and Tha F.A.C.U.L.T.Y. of Nu High. After being asked what the hell I was doing here and responding with, "I just wanted to interview you Multi in regards to Duck Down Records being in the game 15 years" Multi nodded his head and we conducted the interview that follows. PP: What does Duck Down Records mean to you Mult? MM: "Duck Down Records means alot to me famila, its like Banana Fruit Cake!!! ummmmmmm Animal!!!, ummmmmmmm Wowwwwwwwwwwwwww!!! Their company and label of artist are able to merge the essence of hip-hop with different styles and still stay true to what hip-hop is meant to sound like. I can't listen to a Boot Camp Record without a hoodie, Timbs or at least a NY Yankees fitted on. Its like Brooklyn's dopest rappers with a few outsiders that make hip-hop for me and you. Matter of fact, get the hell out of my basement so I can listen to that Duck Down Records shit buddy. Oh yeah by the way, your girl looks like she has snot in the box. Now beat it!!!!" PP: So after being chased out of the basement by this crazed Dominican with a Brugal bottle, I will just say this..Duck Down Records represent hip-hop, enjoy the video montage..If u missed the show, don't feel bad,I did too. This is Pedro Parker signing off...Uno

Emcee's U Should Have Heard Of..1st installment (Kool Keith)

Here at OMGP WTF, Multimanthaskipso has decided after much request of the fans of the blog, to start providing a daily dose of emcee exposure that represent hiphop in its rawest form. Multi had this to say, " Yo the emcee's that I post on the blog have not paid me any money to do this, so I'm doing this so that the raw hiphop ish can get its proper shine on". With this been said he returned to the basement and started going through his mountain of cd's,records and mp3's. The first artist he brings us today is a throw back if u will and original emcee in all regards. Keith Matthew Thornton, better known by his stage name Kool Keith, is an abstract rapper from the Bronx. A founding member of Ultramagnetic MCs, Kool Keith has also recorded extensively both as a solo artist and under multiple aliases. In the words of Multi, "I had to start with this guy, he's the best ever.

Multi's fav single of the day oldie but goodie(Phat Kat and Elzhi)

So today is another day that I was chilling and in the now infamous cd bin of mines going through my millions of cd's. I found another Detroit emcee that I have been up on since the early 2000's, circa 2001-2002. Phat Kat is his name, a rough voiced emcee with a ambitious delivery to got with the ill motor city producers. This particular video I found features Elzhi of Slum Village also one of my favorite emcees. Elzhi kills every track that he gets on, and on this one he does what he does best. The name of the song is "Cold Steel"

Multi's fav single of this day since I was feeling blu

This songs comes to us from Cali, my memory was jogged about this song when I was flipping in my cd bin today. Since we got a cloudy day here in the Atl I thought why not back track and play some Blu and Exile. The name of the song is Soul Amazing from Blu and Exiles, Below the Heavens album..Check the video..
