Random Axe: 5 Things You Should Know About the Rap Supergroup

Random Axe, the hip-hop supergroup featuring Sean Price, Black Milk and Guilty Simpson, released their long-awaited self-titled debut album last Tuesday (June 14) on Duck Down Music. The 15-track album arrives after the trio first started mulling a collaborative effort in 2008, with Detroit native Black Milk handling the entirety of the album's production.

Random Axe Unveils Debut Album at NYC Listening

The Random Axe MCs are about to introduce themselves to new audiences with a string of live shows that kicked off last night (June 21) at New York's Highline Ballroom. Before that, Sean Price, Black Milk and Guilty Simpson shared five things that fans might not know about them and "Random Axe" with Billboard.com's The Juice. From their family lives to the future of the supergroup, check out what the MCs had to say:

1. Guilty Simpson doesn't like going out.

The Detroit rapper, who released his debut album in 2008 on Stones Throw Records, describes himself as a "homebody" and says that he doesn't mind avoiding the night life to stay indoors. "I'm not the type of person that wakes up every day and feels like I missed something," he says. "I'm a grown-ass man, and I definitely don't think anything is for me in these hot-ass streets."

2. Black Milk doesn't listen to much hip-hop.

"I'm a hip-hop artist, but I think rapping is lame," says the rapper/producer, whose latest solo album, "Album of the Year," was released last year. "The older you get, the more you just want to listen to classic music. You wanna hear some laid-back cool shit." Sean Price concurs, adding that he mostly listens to classic artists like Curtis Mayfield and Bill Withers.

3. Sean Price loves being a father.

With a 16-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter (whose name, it should be noted, is Shaun Price), Price calls himself "Ill Cosby" -- without all the "crazy sweaters," of course. "I just love watching her grow, the whole process," Price says of his daughter. "Across the board, parenting is great. She calms me down too; I'd probably be in jail catching a felony [without her]. She calms me down a whole lot."

4. Random Axe didn't want any big-name collaborators for their LP.

"Random Axe" features guest spots by Roc Marciano, Fat Ray and Melanie Rutherford, among others, but the MCs wanted to keep their first joint CD an in-house effort for the most part. "Whoever we wanted to get on the record, we got on there," says Guilty Simpson. Black Milk adds, "When you got three voices, you don't need a lot of features."

5. There will be a sequel to "Random Axe."

"This ain't a one-and-done," Sean Price promises, adding that the trio will link back up for a sequel once they release more solo material. "You're gonna hear Guilty and Black on my solo albums. We're always gonna work with each other, regardless."

If you're looking for something to different to listen to, "Childish Gambino" is your guy. His flow is crazy, and style its unique, all of that which is embodied in the song. Glover, seems to be quickly on his way to being recognized for not just his acting talents but for his musical talents as well. What do you all think?

Damu the Fudgemunk – When the Winter Comes (2011 Official Mix) f. Buff1

This joint was actually released back in ‘09, but due to the engineer wiping the entire vocal track, it was put out in an unfinished, unmixed format. DWG had Damu & Buff1 get back into the studio and re-record the song, at the same time creating another gem for the B-side which you can cop on UGHH.

BackPack/IndyTrack Throwback - I Used To Love H.E.R - Common

[Chorus]
Yes yes y'all and you don't stop
1,2 y'all and you don't stop
Yes yes y'all and you don't stop
1,2 Com-Sense is gonna' drop

Verse One:

I met this girl, when I was 10 years old
And what I loved most, she had so much soul
She was old school, when I was just a shorty
Never knew throughout my life she would be there for me
On the regular, not a church girl, she was secular
Not about the money, no studs was mic checkin her
But I respected her, she hit me in the heart
A few New York niggaz, had did her in the park
But she was there for me, and I was there for her
Pull out a chair for her, turn on the air for her
And just cool out, cool out and listen to her
Sittin on bone, wishin that I could do her
Eventually if it was meant to be, then it would be
Cuz' we related, physically and mentally
And she was fun then, I'd be geeked when she'd come around
Slim was fresh jo, when she was underground
Original, pure untampered and down sister
Boy I tell ya, I miss her

[Chorus]
Yes yes y'all and you don't stop
1,2 y'all and you don't stop
Yes yes y'all and you don't stop
1,2 Com-Sense is gonna' drop

Verse Two:

Now periodically I would see
Ol' girl at the clubs, and at the house parties
She didn't have a body but she started gettin' thick quick
Did a couple of videos and became afrocentric
Out goes the weave, in goes the braids beads medallions
She was on that tip about, stoppin the violence
About my people she was teachin me
But not preachin to me but speakin to me
In a method that was leisurely, so easily I approached
She dug my rap, that's how we got close
But then she broke to the West coast, and that was cool
Cause around the same time, I went away to school
And I'm a man of expandin', so why should I stand in her way?
She probably get her money in L.A.
And she did stud, she got big pub but what was foul
She said that the pro-black, was goin out of style
She said, "Afrocentricity, was of the past."
So she got into R&B hip-house bass and jazz
Now black music is black music and it's all good
I wasn't salty, she was with the boys in the hood
Cause that was good for her, she was becomin well rounded
I thought it was dope how she was on that freestyle shit
Just havin' fun, not worried about anyone
And you could tell, by how her titties hung

[Chorus]
Yes yes y'all and you don't stop
1,2 y'all and you don't stop
Yes yes y'all and you don't stop
1,2 Com-Sense is gonna' drop

Verse Three:

I might've failed to mention that the chick was creative
But once the man got to her, he altered the native
Told her if she got an image and a gimmick
That she could make money, and she did it like a dummy
Now I see her in commercials, she's universal
She used to only swing it with the inner-city circle
Now she be in the burbs lookin' rock and dressin' hip
And on some dumb shit, when she comes to the city
Talkin about poppin glocks, servin rocks, and hittin switches
Now she's a gangsta rollin with gangsta bitches
Always smokin blunts and gettin drunk
Tellin me sad stories, now she only fucks with the funk
Stressin how hardcore and real she is
She was really the realest, before she got into show-biz
I did her, not just to say that I did it
But I'm committed, but so many niggaz hit it
That she's just not the same lettin all these groupies do her
I see niggaz slammin her, and takin her to the sewer
But I'ma take her back hopin that the shit stop
Cause who I'm talkin bout y'all is hip-hop

Remembering Freaky Tah From the Lost Boyz

Over the years it seems that Senseless violence has become way to familiar in Hip Hop. Just recently we lost Dj Megatron to a "Random" act of violence. Its starting to seem like every month we have a remembrance for one of our fallen brothers. Today we would like to shine light on Lost Boyz Member Freaky Tah. Some would say he didn't rap, he was just a hype man, but if you don't understand what a good hype man does, then 9 times out of 10 You don't understand Hip Hop. Freaky Tah's adlibs, and antics on stage definitely were one of the best next to Flava Flav, Spliff Star, and of course the great Eddie Cheeba. Take some time check out the video below. Read up on the wiki info below the vid, and remember it's bigger than music. We must support and remember all those who have given to this great art form called hip hop.

Salute.




WiKi:

Raymond Rogers (May 14, 1971 – March 28, 1999), better known as Freaky Tah, was an MC, hype man and promoter. Freaky Tah was a member of a hip hop group called the Lost Boyz, together with Mr. Cheeks, DJ Spigg Nice and Pretty Lou.

On the night of March 28, 1999, at fellow Lost Boyz member Mr Cheeks' 28th birthday party, Freaky Tah was shot in the back of his head while he was going towards the exit of Sheraton Hotel. He was pronounced dead at about 4:20 AM, after being rushed to nearby Jamaica Hospital.The getaway driver, Raheem Fletcher, was sentenced to 7 years in prison. It was also revealed that a man named Kelvin Jones was the killer. Jones pleaded guilty to murder. Freaky Tah was 27 years old at the time of his death

Backpackrap Throwback: Goodie Mob - Black Ice

Goodie Mob is a hip hop act based in Atlanta, Georgia that formed in 1991 and currently consists of members Cee-Lo Green, Khujo, T-Mo and Big Gipp.
The group's name acts as a double backronym. As explained on the track "Fighting" on Soul Food, Goodie Mob means "the GOOD DIE Mostly Over Bullshit".
All four members were born in Atlanta, and the group is based there with the rest of the Dungeon Family, a collective which includes OutKast and P.A. (Parental Advisory). Goodie was first heard featured on several songs from OutKast's first album Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik.

Cee-Lo was the most visible member of the group prior to his departure in 2000 (among other projects, he is now recording in collaboration with DJ Danger Mouse as Gnarls Barkley), while Big Gipp has made several rounds on other Dungeon Family members' albums, and T-Mo and Khujo form a duo within the group called The Lumberjacks.

BackPackRap Throwback: ScarFace - It Aint Pt. 2

This Song was off of "Last of a Dying Breed" Release in 2000

The Last of a Dying Breed is the sixth solo album from rapper Scarface. The album was less successful commercially than his last few efforts, but more successful critically.

The album includes the singles "Look Me in My Eyes" and "It Ain't, Pt. 2". The song, "They Down with Us" is a remake of the Boogie Down Productions classic, "I'm Still #1".




I found this on the Net Scarface sat down and Broke down his albums and this is what he said about "The Last of a Dying Breed" :

When you hear me talking about the Feds trying to make me flip, that’s not just an album. The Last Of A Dying Breed is a document. We had a lot of friends that we were close to that were dibbling and dabbling in that other shit. Well, these fucking drug agents have a hard-on for James [Prince] so bad until they just grabbed people around him. These motherfuckers even sent a snitch at me. But when the snitch didn’t get shit, they put his ass wherever the fuck he’s at in Pennsylvania. Feds trying to get you to say some shit that you don’t know nothing about.

A lot of brothers went down in ’99 from people telling. A motherfucker wasn’t even doing any dope back then…I was strictly doing music. I may have smoked a little weed, but not enough to run a dope house. What the fuck I look like touring all over the country and selling millions of records and jeopardizing my family and my children behind some funky ass cocaine? That’s just some racially motivated shit. James told me, ‘You have to expose their ass.

BackPackRap Throwback: Souls Of Mischief - From 93 Till Infinity

This song needs no Introduction...This is the definition of classic Hip Hop. So Today I think We will give you a Beat breakdown along with the history of the group!

Oakland native Tajai began rhyming with future band mate A-Plus at age 8, while both were in elementary school. Tajai and Phesto met later in junior high school.Tajai later introduced A-Plus and Phesto to the remaining Souls of Mischief member, Opio, and the group informally formed in high school before making their major-label debut on Jive Records with their well-received album 93 'til Infinity, in 1993.




The group is part of the hip-hop collective Hieroglyphics, with emcees Del tha Funkee Homosapien, Casual, Pep Love, Jaybiz, and producer Domino.[2] The group participated as full members in both Hieroglyphics' studio albums: 1998's 3rd Eye Vision, and 2003's Full Circle.

93 ’til Infinity is the group's highest charting album to date (#17 Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums; #85 Billboard 200), and in January, 1998, was named one of the Top 100 Rap albums by The Source magazine.

The group stayed with Jive for one more album, 1995's No Man's Land, before being released from the label during that same year.

The group has released two albums on the Hiero's self-owned independent label, Hieroglyphics Imperium Recordings, 1999's Focus, and 2000's Trilogy: Conflict, Climax, Resolution.

On October 30, 2006, Hierocast (Hieroglyphics' official podcast), Del tha Funkee Homosapien reported that the Souls of Mischief were currently working on their next studio album with Prince Paul (De La Soul, Gravediggaz, Handsome Boy Modeling School).

On January 6, 2009 Souls of Mischief released the Tour Stories EP produced by Domino and co-produced by Prince Paul. The song is taken from their fifth studio album, Montezuma's Revenge on Hieroglyphics Imperium.

The Beat Was Produced by: Group Member- A-Plus and has a Sample From *"Heather" by Billy Cobham

Intro: Method Man/Johnny Blaze

[special technique] Fuck that
[special technique of shadowboxing] God damn

(The GZA, god damn!) Pledge allegiance to the hip-hop!
(Method, god damn!) I pledge allegiance to the hip-hop
(Maximilli-on, Maximilli-on)
(Uh, yeah, ahh, uh) Johnny Blaze
I pledge allegiance to the hip-hop
(Johnny Blaze) Maximilli-on
Maximilli-on

Verse One: Method Man/Johnny Blaze

I breaks it down to the bone bristle
Ill speaking Scud missle heat seeking
Johnny Blazing, nightmares like Wes Craven
Niggaz gunnin, my third eye seen it coming
Before it happened
You know about them fucking Staten
Kids they smashin
Everything huh, in any shape form or fashion
Now everybody talking bout they blastin, hmmm
Is you bustin steel or is you flashin? Hmmm
Talkin out your assHOLE
You shoulda learnt about the flow and peasy afro
Ticallion stallion, chinky eye and snot nosed
From my naps to the bunion on my big toe
I keeps it movin, know just what the fuck I'm doin
Rap insomniac, fiend to catch a nigga snoozing
Slit the cardiac, arrest me, excorcist hip-hop posess me
Crunch a nigga like a Nestle, you know my STEEZ
burning to the third degree, sneaky ass alley cat top pedigree
The head toucher, industry party bum rusher
You don't like it dick up in ya fuck ya

(allow me to demonstrate) That's right, you corny-ass

(Shadowboxing) Cause your naps ain't nappy enough
And your reefs ain't rugged enough
Bitch

Verse Two: The Genius/Maximillion

I slayed MC's back in the rec room era
My style broke motherfuckin backs like Ken Patera
Most rap niggaz came loud but unheard
Once I pulled ut, round em off to the nearest third
Check these non visual niggaz, with tapes and a portrait
Flood the seminar, tryin to orbit this corporate
indsutry, but what them niggaz can't see
must break through like the Wu, unexpectedly
Protect Ya Neck, my sword still remain imperial
Before I blast the mic, RZA scratch off the serial
We reign all year round from June to June
While niggaz bite immediately if not soon
Set the lynchin, and form the execution date
As this two thousand beyond slang suffocate
Amplify sample through vacumn tubes compressions
cause RZA, to charge niggaz twenty G's a session

Verse Three: Method Man/Johnny Blaze

When my mind start to clickin, and the strategy
is mapped the plot thickens, this be that Wu shit
I don't give a cotten-pickin FUCK
about a brother tryin to size a nigga up, I hold my own
Hard-hat protect your dome
Look at mama baby boy actin like he grown
No time for sleep, I gets deep as a baritone
Killa bee, that be holdin down his honeycomb, loungin son
Wu brother number one, protect your neck
Flying guillotines here they come, bloody bastards
Hard times and killer tactics, spittin words plus
semi-automatic slurs, peep the graphic
novel from the genie bottle, hit the clutch
shift the gear now, full throttle, time to bungee
To the next episode, I keeps it grungy
Hand on my nutsac, and spittin lung-ghies
At a wack nigga dat, don't understand the fact
When it come to RZA tra-cks I don't know how to act
Real rap from the Stat, killa hill projects
How to be exact, break it down
All and together now
Things are getting good looking better now

(Allow me to demonstrate the skill of Shaolin)
(Sha-shadowboxing, the special technique of shadowboxing)
(Shadowboxing)

HipHopDX

BackPackRap Throwback - De La Soul - Stakes is High

De La Soul is an American hip hop trio formed in 1987 on Long Island, New York. The band is best known for their eclectic sampling, quirky lyrics, and their contributions to the evolution of the jazz rap and alternative hip hop subgenres. The members are Kelvin Mercer (Posdnuos, Mercenary, Plug Wonder Why, Plug One), David Jude Jolicoeur (Trugoy the Dove, Dave, Plug Two) and Vincent Mason (P.A. Pasemaster Mase, Maseo, Plug Three). The three formed the group in high school and caught the attention of producer Prince Paul with a demo tape of the song "Plug Tunin'". Prince Paul was also sometimes referred to as Plug Four. The Plug names are alleged to come from the numbers that each bandmate's microphone was labeled on the soundboard. Posdnuos was always plugged into plug one, Trugoy was plugged into plug two, and so forth.

With its playful wordplay, innovative sampling, and witty skits, the band's debut album, 3 Feet High and Rising, is considered a hip hop masterpiece. It is also the band's biggest commercial success to date, with their subsequent albums selling progressively less, despite receiving high praise from critics. A measure of 3 Feet High and Rising's cross-over appeal was the fact that it was voted Album of the Year by NME, a title better known for its taste in guitar-based music. De La Soul has influenced numerous other hip hop artists such as Camp Lo, The Black Eyed Peas, and Digable Planets.[citation needed] They were also influential in the early stages of rapper/actor Mos Def's career, and are a core part of the Spitkicker collective. They are the second longest standing Native Tongues Posse group, after the Jungle Brothers.
In 2006, the group won a Grammy for their collaboration with Gorillaz on the single "Feel Good Inc."



This song fits the music of today, its crazy how Life Moves full circle and great music is timeless. So We decided to give you the Lyrics of this Hip Hop Classic!

Stakes is High - De la Soul

POS:
The instamatic focal point bringing damage to your boroughs
Be some brothers from the east with some beats that be thorough
Got the solar gravitation so I'm bound to pull it
I gets down like brothers are found ducking from bullets
Gun control means using both hands in my land
Where it's all about the cautious livin'
Migrating to a higher form of consequence, compliments
Of strugglin', that shouldn't be notable,
Man every word I say should be a hip hop quotable.

DOVE:
I'm sick of bitches shakin' asses
I'm sick of talkin' about blunts,
Sick of Versace glasses,
Sick of slang,
Sick of half-ass awards shows,
Sick of name brand clothes.
Sick of R&B bitches over bullshit tracks,
Cocaine and crack
Which brings sickness to blacks,
Sick of swoll' head rappers
With their sicker-than raps
Clappers and gats
Makin' the whole sick world collapse
The facts are gettin' sick
Even sicker perhaps
Stickabush to make a bundle to escape this synapse

POS:
Man life can get all up in your ass baby you betta work it out
Let me tell you what it's all about
A skin not considered equal
A meteor has more right than my people
Who be wastin' time screaming who they've hated
That's why the Native Tongues have officially been re-instated

(Vibes....vibrations)
Stakes is high
(Higher than high)
You know them stakes is high
(Higher than high)
When we talkin' 'bout the
(Vibes....vibrations)
Stakes is high, you know them stakes is high
When we dealin' with the
(Vibes....vibrations)
Stakes is high
(Hey yo, what about that love?)

POS:
Yo, it's about love for cars, love for funds
Loving to love mad sex, loving to love guns
Love for opposite, love for fame and wealth
Love for the fact of no longer loving yourself, kid
We living in them days of the man-made ways
Where every aspect is vivid,
these brothers no longer talk shit
Hey yo, these niggas live it
'Bout to give it to you 24/7 on the microphone
Plug One translating the zone
No offense to a player, but yo, I don't play
And if you take offense, fuck it, got to be that way
J.D. Dove, show your love, what you got to say?

DOVE:
I say G's are making figures at a high regard
And niggas dying for it nowadays ain't odd
Investing in fantasies and not God
Welcome to reality, see times is hard
People try to snatch the credit, but can't claim the card
Showing out in videos, saying they cold stars
See, shit like that will make your mama cry
Better watch the way you spend it
'Cause the stakes is high

Y'all know them stakes is high
When we talkin' 'bout the
(Vibes....vibrations)
Stakes is high

I think that smiling in public is against the law
'Cause love don't get you through life no more
It's who you know and "How you, son?"
And how you gettin' in, and who the man holding
Hey yo, and how was the scams and how high
Yo what up, huh? I heard you caught a body
Seem like every man and woman shared a life with John Gotti

POS:
But they ain't organized!

DOVE:
Mixing crimes with life enzymes
Taking the big scout route
And niggas know doubt better
Than they know their daughters
And their sons
(Oh boy)

POS:
Yo, people go through pain and still don't gain
Positive contact just like my main man
Who got others cleaning up his physical influence
His mind got congested
He got the nine and blew it
Neighborhoods are now hoods cause nobody's neighbors
Just animals surviving with that animal behavior
Under I who be rhyming from dark to light sky
Experiments when needles and skin connect
No wonder where we live is called the projects
When them stakes is high you damn sure try to do
Anything to get the piece of the pie
Electrify
Even die for the cash
But at last I be out even though you wantin' more
This issue is closed like an elevator door
But soon re-opened once we get to the next floor where the

The Game Feat Lil Wayne - Red Nation

After several delays, it looks like the Game's anticipated 'The R.E.D. Album' is finally on the way. Yesterday, the Compton native released the latest single off the LP titled 'Red Nation,' a Cool & Dre-produced joint featuring Lil Wayne and boasting a sample of Zombie Nation's sports anthem 'Kernkraft 400.'



On the sinister cut, Game spits about repping for Aftermath and sticking by Dr. Dre and his label until the end. "It's Aftermath for life, and all I do is ride / Before I turn on him, I kill Satan / And stick my red flag in the ground, it's red nation!" he growls before throwing it to Weezy on the chorus. The song continues with witty wordplay about colors that align with his Bloods gang, spinning rhymes about his whips and clothes. "Red Ralph Laurens, that double R sitting on the hill like Lauryn / Her in the car foreign / Got my red Dre Beats on, tryna put my peeps on / And I keep it hood like this Phantom is a Nissan," he continues.

The single comes after the success of his 'Purp & Patron' mixtape released in January, which he promised was the last free offering before the 'R.E.D. Album' hit stores. 'The R.E.D. Album' is one of the most anticipated albums. I don't need the mixtape to hold any of my fans over, I just like to feed my fans every now and then because I'm constantly working on the album,' he previously told The BoomBox. 'It's got a 2011 release. It's gotta come out this year otherwise it will be old and I'm going to have to start over.'

Can You Feel it? BackPackRap Throwback: Biz Markie - The Vapors

" Can You Feel it?, Nothin Can Save Ya, For this is the Season for Catchin the Vapors!", "Baby Please, You Work for U.P.S!" and "Damn it feels good to see everyone up On It"

Were Some of the Favorite quotes from this song. With Summer Approaching, We figured you should be Prepared...Vapor Season is upon Us!




Wikipedia:

Goin' Off is the debut studio album by Biz Markie, a US hip hop musician. The album was released by Cold Chillin' Records, and produced by Marley Marl. The album was praised for its wit and humor. Big Daddy Kane wrote the lyrics of the album's first five songs. The album also showcased Biz's talent as a human beatbox on the song "Make the Music with Your Mouth, Biz", and his skill in the game of dozens on the track "Nobody Beats the Biz." His most widely known song, "Vapors", also features here.


"Vapors" contains samples from
"Papa Don't Take No Mess" performed by James Brown
