Bad Meets Evil (w/Eminem & Royce The 5-9) — Nuttin' To Do (radio, street, inst)/Scary Movies (radio, street, inst) ... 12-inch
Game, 1998. Near Mint- (pic cover).... $2.99
Bad Meets Evil is Eminem and Royce the 5-9. Eminem's verses here are as good as the rhymes on his long out of print ep, and Royce's are just about as nice. Reef's production on both tracks is probably better than most of the production on Eminem's Aftermath/Interscope LPs.

One Handed Music, 2013. New Copy (pic cover).... $12.99
The inpired paring psychedelic hip hop beatmaker Paul White and profane, yet undeniably charismatic and and versatile Detroit emcee Danny Brown! "Street Lights" is a should-be instant classic – with rumbling, continually thumping and beats and eerie atmosphere to spare – but it's still catchy and accessible. Includes also includes Dabrye remix and the instrumental versions for both the main version and remix.

Another party record, not a straight hip hop record. "Where Brooklyn At?" is above average for this type of track, combining a bunch a samples naming Brooklyn from Ol Dirty Bastard, Biggie, Stetsasonic, MC Lyte, etc with a sample of Michael Jackson's "Human Nature".

Boogie Down Productions — Criminal Minded ... LP
B-Boy, 1987. Very Good .... $13.99
One of the best debuts in the history of hip hop – and one of the most important albums the genre ever produced! Criminal Minded is landmark for a number of reasons. Among the biggest is, of course, that it was recorded with the late great DJ Scott La Rock – and he was soon to fall prey to the very street violence that BDP documented with such raw brilliance, courtesy the lyricism and delivery of KRS-One. Importance aside, though, Criminal Minded is simply a great, timeless record that no true fan of gritty classic hip hop should be without. The track list alone is a full chapter in the hip hop book of legends – with tunes like "Poetry", "Elementary", "South Bronx", "Super-Hoe", "Bridge is Over", and the "P is Free" remix. Also includes "Criminal Minded", "Dope Beat", and "9mm Goes Bang".
(Gold label B-Boy "Manufactured by Rock Candy Records" pressing. Cover has light wear, a couple of spots of paper stuck on the front, and a small scratch near the spine.)

Cook Classics — Cook Classics Vs Now Again (LP sleeve edition) ... CD
Now Again, 2013. New Copy .... $13.99 15.98
Cook Classics cooks up one of the best sets so far in the Now Again Music Library Series – part hip hop instrumentals, part Sound Library funk – built from samples culled from the Now Again catalog! Cook Classics Vs Now Again works as both a prime example of the Cook Classics as a producer – layering live drums, programmed beats and and more instrumention into the rich, diverse Now Again samples. It's also an excellent sampler of the the far-reaching sounds to be found on Now Again releases – from organ funk to psych folk and well beyond! 23 tracks that run just over an hour long all together. Titles include "Rock Vs Rambo", "27 Jump Street", "Vanilla Love", "Dude Complex", "Wish You Were With Me", "Laveta Terrace", "Lovely Ladies", "I Am Complicated", "Dig The Streets", "1972", "Ayo My Man 2" and many more.

Frank N Dank — 48 Hours ... LP
Digi Pop/Delicious Vinyl, 2003. New Copy .... $16.99 18.98
The timeless sounding underground classic debut of Frank-N-Dank – which is a strong first full length statement for the duo – and a significant milestone in the J Dilla production canon! It has more of a straight up, street ready rhyme style than was typical for Dilla productions at the time – with smoky, pulsing production and unpredictable beats. The rhymes are stronger than we gave 'em credit for a decade or so back – and the raw electro funky bounce provided by Dilla really opened us up to how diverse his style could be outside of the jazzy/funky/soul beats he'd laid down in the preceding couple of years! Tracks include "Rite Bites", "Street Life", "Pimp Strut", "Where The Parties At?", "All Seasons", "Take Dem Clothes Off" and more.
Also available: 48 Hours (2CD edition – with instrumentals) ... CD $15.99

Mos Def — Ecstatic ... CD
Downtown, 2009. Used .... $8.99
Mos Def's first for Downtown after a weird few years on Geffen that saw many a bumped street date, the hit & miss New Danger, and finally, the semi aborted release of the controversial True Magic – back with a top shelf, excellent album in 2009's The Ecstatic! It may not be Black Star or Black On Both Sides, but The Ecstatic is absolutely strong stuff, and to be honest, much better than we would have expected – even if we knew he had great hip hop left in him! The beats are compelling, unpredictable, and steeped in abstract global funk that would sound at home on Stones Throw – some of the beats are literally Stones Throw, given Madlib's Beat Konducta and Oh No's Oxperimental sounds to be found. If we weren't already loving it, Slick Rick drops an unforgettable guest appearance on the the moody "Auditorium", Georgia Anne Muldrow does her inimitable thing on "Roses", and Talib Kweli rhymes on "History". Mos rhymes skillfully throughout, and with an infectious immediacy, as if he dropped records this tight all the time. Sadly, he doesn't, so this one's all the more rewarding! Other tracks include "Twilite Speedball", "Revelations", "Pretty Danger", "Quiet Dog", "The Embassy", "Wahid", "Priority" and more.

new Notorious BIG — Ready To Die (Remaster LP) ... LP
Bad Boy, 1995. Very Good+ 2LP (reissue).... $24.99
Biggie's masterpiece – remastered! There's very little we could possibly say about this east coast landmark that isn't already etched in stone in the annals of hip hop history. Biggie's a master storyteller, whether he's spinning tales of violent street nihilism, his skills beneath the sheets, or blistering sadness and regret. This thing sounds as great in the new millenium as it did at the end of the previous one. All the classics: "Things Done Changed", "Gimme The Loot", "Machine Gun Funk", "Ready To Die", "Warning", "Ready To Die", "Juicy", "Big Poppa", "Respect", "Friend Of Mine", and the Premier-produced "Unbelievable". This remasted re-release of the album includes two bonus tracks – the legendary, oft-bitten track "Who Shot Ya" and "Just Playing (Dreams)".
(Cover has some wear and a couple of small stains.)

2Pac — Me Against The World ... CD
Amaru/Jive, 1995. Used .... $5.99
Pac's breakout LP, if you ask us. Just before he got too hot for Jive and jumped to Death Row, this is the album where Pac moves above the Thug Life image he worked so hard to craft and delivered the lyrical goods with both his street stories and more introspective rhymes. Includes "If I Die 2 Nite", "Me Against The World", "So Many Tears", "Temptations", "Heavy In The Game", "Dear Mama", "Old School", "F*ck The World", "Death Around The Corner" and "Outlaw".

Various — Ancestors Of Rap – A Collection Of Highly Underrated Prototype Rap Songs ... CD
Tramp (Germany), Late 60s/Early 70s. New Copy .... $12.99
The funky foundations of rap – and one of the best, most focused compilations of its kind we've ever stocked! You can truthfully call the treasure trove of funk singles here "pre-rap". Every track is a direct precursor. We mean that on the vocal tip – and also for the heavy funk bass and drums on the bottom end. We've seen some similar sets that go back to the 50s and even earlier – with jump jivin' R&B that originally planted the seeds – but this one focuses squarely on the late 60s and 70s material that most directly fertilized all rap to come! It also largely eschews the righteous and political precursors of the Last Poets and Gil Scott-Heron school, for party funk proto rappers such as Pigmeat Markam, Bill "Butter Ball" Crane, Blowfly and others – but there's some socially aware cuts here, too. Great stuff with a just a couple of well-known numbers and many more funky rarities! 16 in all: "We Got The Number" by Pigmeat Markham, "Butterballs" by Butterball, "Get On The Good Foot" by James Brown, "Sesame Street" by Blowfly, "Smoke My Pipe" by AJ Rowe, "Snake Hips" by Timmy Rogers, "Everybody Says" by Billy Dee & Sugar Bear, "Do You Have A Good Woman" by Rufus Beacham and more.

Various — Change The Beat – The Celluloid Records Story 1979 to 1987 ... CD
Celluloid/Strut (UK), Late 70s/1980s. New Copy 2 CDs .... $14.99 15.99
Hip hop, street soul, and lots lots more – a really revolutionary selection of music from the legendary Celluloid Records – a label that was virtually a genre unto itself! Celluloid was a key force tying together the New York downtown scene at the start of the 80s, and the postcolonial music world of Paris – and as a result, they always operated with a culture-crossing style that few other companies of the time managed to hit – merging together sounds in really unlikely ways, and often coming up with fresh new styles in the process! The label's known for crate-diggers for its hip hop releases – and to world music fans for its electric Africa work – but they also were on the forefront of New York No Wave, avant jazz, and post-punk – and somehow found a way to integrate both young new talents, and older experimentalists who still had plenty to offer. This package finally does Celluloid justice – and goes way past the few simplistic comps of the label's work over the years – training the skilled Strut ear to the whole thing, and also serving up the full story of the label in the process. Titles include "I'm The One" by Material, "Day Tripper" by Shockabilly, "Tele Apres La Meteo" by Fredinand, "Disco Rough (long version)" by Mathematiques Modernes, "Electrique Sylvie (full length version)" by Modern Guy, "Mean Machine Chant/Mean Machine" by Last Poets, "Abele Dance ('85 rmx)" by Manu Dibango, "Change The Beat (French & English)" by Fab 5 Freddy, "The Escapades Of Futura 2000" by Futura 2000 with The Clash, and "Downing Street Rock" by Winston Edwards & Blackbeard. 26 tracks in all!

Various — Electro 5 ... LP
Streetsounds (UK), Early 80s. Very Good+ (reissue).... $5.99

Yosumi, 2000. Used .... $0.99
17 full-length tracks produced by Domingo and DJ Rob. Ok, maybe not the strongest compilation all the way through but still a couple nice tracks not available on any other LP or single, including a nice remix of the Cocoa Brovas' "Super Brooklyn" featuring Mista Cheeks, Eminem/J Black/Masta Ace "Hellbound(H&H rmx)", and Cocoa Brovas "You Cant Take Me Out."

new Big L — Lifestylez Of Da Poor & Dangerous ... LP
Columbia/Traffic, 1995. New Copy 2LP (reissue).... $18.99 19.98 Just Sold Out!
Now a classic, and pretty tough to get a hold of on vinyl. Beats by Buckwild, Showbiz and Lord Finesse, rhymes by Harlem's finest. Big L didn't leave behind much recorded work, but if this LP has to stand as his legacy, it's a mighty fine statement. Alongside some of the latter day QB hip hop, probably the pinnacle of streetlife lyrics from the east coast. 12 tracks in all: "Put It On", "MVP", "No Endz, No Skinz", "8 Iz Enuff", "All Black", "Danger Zone", "Street Struck", "Da Graveyard", "Lifestylez Ov Da Poor And Dangerous", "I Don't Understand It, "Fed Up Wit The Bullsh#t", and "Let 'Em Have It L".

new X-Ecutioners — Murder The Classix ... LP
X-Inc, 2002. Used .... $6.99 Temporarily Out Of Stock
Rob Swift, Total Eclipse & Roc Raida make with a murderous mix set – 60 minutes of the hottest X-ecutioner beats, breaks, and rhymes plus a sampling of some of the best hip hop of the last 10 or so years worth of beats. The X crew seamlessly cut up some of the hottest underground work, but they're not so stuck up that they won't occasionally pop their heads above the surface. They also splice pulp film dialogue and sound bites, rivaling Cut Chemist and Automator in the outer space cheese vein while keeping the hard core street feel. Nice!!!

Fresh, 1988. Used .... $24.99 Out Of Stock
Their first LP, and a classic bit of hip hop that gave the genre a whole new twist. Bottom heavy funked up Long Island hip hop with what was considered slow flow rhymes at the time, and Erick and Parrish's take on funky samples that managed to bring together hard to get breaks and commercial cuts in an age when you could have both street appeal and indie cred. With the classic cuts "It's My Thing", "You Gots To Chill", "Strictly Business", "You're A Customer", "Get Off The Bandwagon" and "Because I'm Housin'", plus "So Let The Funk Flow", "The Steve Martin", "DJ K La Boss" and "Jane".

Timeless hip hop instrumentals crafted from and inspired by rare and 70s soul, funky soundtracks and classic east coast hip hop – and some of the most hypnotic material from K-Def in quite a while! The insistent head-nodding beats and recognizable bits and pieces of classic material keeps it in the producer-centric hip hop realm pretty strongly – but it really does have a band feel – so the title is no joke! Solid work from the ever-reliable K-Def. Includes "Funky Fridays", "Dark Soul", "I'm Chillin", "Touching Realness", "Street Jazz", "K Comes Through", "NJ Dodgers", "Lovely Woman", "Watching The Clouds", "I Seen A Blind Bat", "Soul Paper", "Ghetto's Groove" and more.

new Madlib & Others — Madlib's Medicine Show No 3 – Beat Konducta In Africa ... LP
Madlib, 2010. New Copy 2LP .... $17.99 Out Of Stock
Raw crackling hip hop funk beatcraft at its deepest from mighty Madlib – working in his Beat Konducta style for this third entry in the epic Madlib's Medicine Show Series! Beat Konducta In Africa is a hazy hip hop instrumental set from 'Lib (lest you thought it might be a funky compilation of rare African material) with some additional mixing from J Rocc – based on rare African vinyl. The sound is pure Madlib/Beat Konducta heady hip hop funk – recognizable as being spun from and inspired by African material, and impeccably so, with that instantly identifiable, exploratory Madlib sonic stamp. He looks far beyond Afrobeat and funk sources, with some raw funk rock beats, psych, garage and more with some trippy vocal samples – and he's building up from blueprints records originally pressed all over Africa – Zambia, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Ghana, Botswana and Ivory Coast. But too much mention of the source material risks making this sound like a compilation or a mix set, when it's Madlib all the way! Titles include "Motherland", "Raw Introduction To Afreaka", "Warrior's Theme", "Street Hustler", "Afritonic" (Pts 1 & 2), "Tradition", "Blackfire", "Obtaive", "Mtima", "African Bounce", "Freedom Play", "Natural Sound Waves", "Unika (Outro)" and many more. 37 tracks on the vinyl version.

new Yesterdays New Quintet — Yesterday's Universe ... CD
Stones Throw, 2007. Used .... $4.99 Out Of Stock
The deepest jazz funk material Madlib has ever laid down – possibly the best album yet from Yesterday's New Quintet – featuring turns at freewheeling avant funk, electro jazz groove, furious sound library styles, a few chill moments, and a boundless sound overall! Yesterday's Universe features 15 unique tracks – purportedly played by 10 acts (The Last Electro, The Jahari Massamba Unit, The Eddie Prince Fusion Band, Young Jazz Rebels, etc), but in truth it's all from the feverishly talented mind of Madlib – with special guests including drummer Karriem Riggins and Azymuth precussionist Mamao! It's heavily steeped in fusion funk, but we're equally impressed by the cooler, slightly straighter moments – which display just how wide of a grasp Madlib has on the deepest, darkest corners of the spectrum. The wide range of influences flows naturally – amazing work from one of the most talented wizards in the game! Titles include a heady adaptation of "Bitches Brew", "Umoja (Unity)", "Slave Riot", "One For The Monica Lingas Band", "Street Talkin'", "Marcus, Martin & Malcolm", "Two For Strata East", "Cold Nights And Rainy Days", "Mtume's Song", "Vibes From The Tribes Suite (For Phil)", "Upa Neguinho" and more.

A whirling maelstrom of sample-based hip hop funk instros from Oh No – working here as Dr No, thank you very much – and here he's going even deeper with the Dolemite samples-heavy formula of the preceding Ohnomite set! That record is a fresh, creative twist on the time-honored tradition of mining funky blacksploitation soundtracks – and this one goes further. It's atmospheric, tripped out and truly original! Includes "Tornado Theme", "The Drop", "Coldest Cat", "Dollar Club", "Touch-O-Matic", "Street Hustles", "Once Again", "Hello Yes", "Baby Ain't No", "Electrocutions", "Train Chasers", "I'm The One", "Burglers", "Stormy Nights", "Remember Her", "Paper Runs", "Chummery", "Bad Man" and many more.
