QUEEN LATIFAH,MC LYTE,& ROXANNE SHANTE 101:THE FIRST LADIES OF HIP-HOP

QUEEN LATIFAH,MC LYTE,& ROXANNE SHANTE 101:THE FIRST LADIES OF HIP-HOP
QUEEN LATIFAH,MC LYTE & ROXANNE SHANTE represent what real female M.C.'s should be.Now-a-days Female M.C.'s are all about sex,drugs,violence,MONEY and of course who is the BADDEST BITCH!!!But these 3 women were all about fighting the stereotypes.I would also like to mention one female above the rest but I will write about ISIS(LIN QUE) on a later date when I adress X-CLAN.So anyways First up is the QUEEN her majesty,QUEEN LATIFAH. Now I know all of you are saying to yourself QUEEN LATIFAH???Isn't she that actress, singer and covergirl chick rite? But back in the day QUEEN LATIFAH was a fierce lyricist!!! Man just listen to her name "QUEEN LATIFAH" man let me be blunt...QUEEN LATIFAH was PRO-BLACK!!! Yep miss hang around white boys and such was pro black!!! In her video LADIES FIRST she was actually moving around "BlACK FIST" war pieces to take over the world and to show the strength & power of black women with or without men!!!This song along with U.N.I.T.Y. cemented her as a true Afrocentric female warrior.Sadly the Queen has become what she has become today, a cover girl focusing on her acting and singing rather than being an M.C...Sad.She was so very ILL.Next is MC LYTE!!!Man I have to tell you frankly I would have put M.C.LYTE over the QUEEN (especially now)But the QUEEN is the only one of these 3 women to rock the red,black, & green and defended womankind without going overboard.Yeah U.N.I.T.Y. was a little "rough" but the Queen was the only woman standing up and saying anything about anything at that time.That makes her a pioneer.Now on to M.C. LYTE. Man M.C. LYTE was just raw!She didn't care and no body wanted to challenge her male of female!!!If RAKIM is the GODFATHER of Hip-Hop then M.C.LYTE would be the GODMOTHER of Hip-Hop not that she is better than the QUEEN but M.C.LYTE is still an M.C. and I bet if you ask most female M.C.'s witch female M.C. influenced them besides LiL Kim(who is not on this list for OBVIOUS REASONS) they would tell you M.C.LYTE. After all if they say she doesn't they sure as hell rap like her!!!Everything from her style to her "classic" raspy voice M.C.LYTE is still lyte as a rock!!!Lastly is the first female M.C. to actually battle men(to the best of my knowledge) ROXANNE SHANTE.ROXANNE was so battle ready that she battled U.T.F.O.,THE REAL ROXANNE and even BLAST MASTER KRS-ONE!!!Now that took guts!!!In my opinion she lost but heck man what guy's can handle KRS let alone a female!!!But for her courage and fortitude ROXANNE SHANTE will go down in Hip-hop history as one of the bravest female M.C.'s Of all time!!!Well here are 3 video's to represent each woman's skill.With QUEEN LATIFAH & MONIE LOVE in LADIES FIRST, M.C.LYTE in LYTE AS A ROCK, and ROXANNE SHANTE IN ROXANNE'S REVENGE

First is LADIES FIRST

BDP VS THE JUICE CREW 101:WHERE DID IT ALL BEGIN

BDP VS THE JUICE CREW 101:WHERE DID IT ALL BEGIN?
This debate rages on till this very day...and is "still" one of Hip-Hop's most monumental battles ever!!!BDP VS THE JUICE CREW.In Real Hip-Hop this battle is one of the most important ones "ever" because it asks the ultimate question.Where did Hip-Hop actually begin???Man I dreaded doing these last 2 blogs because I had to take sides and make harsh decisions!!!Much like talking about BIG DADDY KANE'S romantic side causing him to fall off, BDP VS THE JUICE CREW are all some what interconnected.MC SHAN & DJ MARLEY MARL insisted that Hip-Hop began in Queens.Henceforth creating the song "THE BRIDGE" But KRS-ONE and BOGGIE DOWN PRODUCTIONS insisted that Hip-Hop began in the Bronx henceforth creating the song "SOUTH BRONX" The battle would rage on for years until BDP came up with the song "THE BRIDGE IS OVER" Roxanne Shante would come back with "HAVE A NICE DAY" but come on man THIS IS THA TECHA MAN!!! MY CONCLUSION???Man...come on man KRS-ONE is the "Heart" of Real Hip-Hop and virtually indestructible!!! His vocabulary is literally unsurpassed and unrivaled.I was never really an M.C.SHAN fan in the first place so I guess I'm kind of bias.I believe Hip-Hop came from the THE BRONX because all the brothers from the Bronx are crazy!!!And CALLOUS respects crazy!!!But I actually don't know it's all lost in Hip-Hop Folklore!!!Anyways here are THE BRIDGE and THE BRIDGE IS OVER!Man even the Professor Emertis CALLOUS get's stumped sometimes!!!But Fuck it man I Keep it CALLOUS!!!& KRS ONE IS STILL #1!!!

BIG DADDY KANE 101:LONG LIVE THE KANE

BIG DADDY KANE 101:LONG LIVE THE KANE!!!
Said to be the only contender for RAKIM'S "GOD-FATHERLY" THROWN, BIG DADDY KANE'S miraculous flow was said to be and is the thing of legend!!!Especially when he first came out!!!The name Kane was an acronym for King Asiatic Nobody's Equal and he fought to keep it true.BIG DADDY KANE and RAKIM were said to be so evenly matched in the begining that people tried and tried and tried to force a battle between these two Lyrical overlords but both are said to have had too much respect for each other as five percenters.BIG DADDY KANE'S first album 1987's LONG LIVE THE KANE would produce such golden hit's as "AINT NO HALF STEPPIN" wearing his infamous "Silver suite" and rockin his trademark "CAMEO" hair cut, and also the unbeleiveable single "RAW"!!!He then followed up by his next album 1989's "IT'S A BIG DADDY THING" wich produced one of his greatest hit's "LOVERMAN", "SMOOTH OPERATOR", and "I GET THE JOB DONE" Here is where RAKIM and BIG DADDY began to differ.BIG DADDY KANE was #1 a RAPPER #2 a LADIES MAN and # 3 he actually could DANCE along with his dancers Scoob Lover and Scrap Lover!!!Also as one of the founding member's of the JUICE CREW, KANE had a lot to live up to and carry.Ultimately KANE chose the Ladies over everything else and by his third album even the title said it all 1990's "A TASTE OF CHOCOLATE" KANE began to dance & romance and actually made one of the biggest mistep's ever wearing a lepord skinned CAPE!!!LOL!!He would release 2 more albums 1994's Daddy's Home, and his farewell album, Veteranz Day.He would however bounce back and start acting in Mario Van Peebles' 1993 black Western Posse!!! Now this was the cool that represented BIG DADDY KANE!!!Their are other thing's of questionable value I could mention but I would rather stick to remembering KANE as the man that tought us how to be "RAW" and that "AINT NO HALF STEPPIN"!!! WORD IM READY!!!

COMMON,MOS DEF,TILB KWELI & {PRE AUTO-TUNED OUT}KANYE WEST101:BROTHERS IN ARMS

COMMON,MOS DEF,TILB KWELI & {PRE AUTO-TUNED OUT} KANYE WEST 101:BROTHERS IN ARMS
Well… rather than talk about these 4 gentlemen separately, I will talk about them as one unit. These 4 men are impressive enough alone. But as a unit they represent the modern day “new school” of “quiet” revolutionary. I talk about them as a unit because threw out each of their sorted history they have had each others back and helped the others careers. COMMON comes in first because of his ability to capture the heart’s of “The People” with his smooth revolutionary melodic flow. Also because he is the most clever and has the highest endurance. His on stage performance’s are also out of this world!!! Even now COMMON & TILB KWELI usually perform together. Now COMMON’S road to success and drive for respect would be a long one. COMMON’S first album in 1992 was called “Can I borrow a dollar” Then came 1994 release of “Resurrection” followed by 2000 “Like water for Chocolate” all three have received widespread critical acclaim but like most of his albums had received moderate commercial success. Then came 2002: Electric Circus & Then 2005’s “Be” and then his best of COMMON Album “Thisisme then” then 2007’s Finding Forever .But it wasn’t until 2008‘s: The Believer with the help of KANYE’S production and “ROC STAR POWER” that he finally received the props he rightfully deserved!!! MOS DEF & TILB KWELI would start out together as the group BLACK STAR on RAWKUS RECORDS and like I have said before they had each others back. They would ultimately release solo albums but in my opinion COMMON’S road to success was far more significant as the point man. Now on to the more complex success of Kanye West. Kanye West would spend the majority of his early career as a producer. Even though all he wanted to do was flow!!! He would ultimately be sent hither and tether from record label to record label trying to become a rapper until he arrived at Roc-a-fella Records as a producer. The bottom line It would take the support of “all” of his “friend’s” in the Industry to put out his first album The College Dropout (2004) out. The Roc had so little faith in him that Kanye had to pay for his fist video “Threw the wire” out of his own pocket!!! Even until this day Jay-Z hold’s his stance that he only wanted Kanye for his “beats” even after the Grammy’s and all the critical acclaim. Not that Grammy’s matter to ya boy CALLOUS... but Kanye dose have his own notch.{pre-auto-tune} In my personal opinion Kanye’s affiliation with the Roc{at the time} helped him and his boys gain the much deserved commercial success that each have attained. That and Kanye’s amazing production!!! So I guess this disrespect was {& is} well worth it. He would then put out Late Registration (2005) and Graduation (2007)I’m not a “die hard” Kanye West fan because of his affiliation with the ROC & Auto-tune but I respect his Revolutionary mind set, diligence, style, and lyrical fortitude!!! But like I said before I look at all these brothers in arm’s as one unit so Kanye's eclectic "style" is a “highly” necessary component. I do respect his clever flow and his production, so in the larger scheme of thing‘s Kanye dose deserve his place in Real Hip-Hop‘s Hall of Fame.Also more importantly I respect his drive."BUT" Let me put this out there so every one can understand. CALLOUS has never been impressed with Grammy’s or awards because the “best” usually don’t get them.In my opinion CANIBUS is the Scientific Champ and if we based these awards on talent & skill on who was the best… CANIBUS would have a closet full of Grammy’s!!!LOL!!! CALLOUS respect’s a revolutionary mind set, depth, scientific know how, and lyrical skill That usually confuses most people.And unfortunately that usually mean’s little commercial success. Kanye has said himself on more than one occasion that his production was most influenced by the RZA!!! So even with his elaborate commercial success he acknowledges the RULER Zig Zag Zig ALLAH!!! Like I have been saying all along RZA is one of the greatest Real Hip-Hop producer's of all time!!!And If you don’t believe me look up Kenye's "name" up on Wikipedia. I’m not saying that CALLOUS is right about everything, I just do my research as THE "ULTIMATE" RESEARCHER!!! But this BLOG POST is not about THE RZA or THE CANIBUS-MAN it’s about THE BROTHERS IN ARMS. So in closing let me say this… as CALLOUS I refuse to ignore “greatness” with or without commercial success. And ultimately brothers like Common,Mos Def, & Tilb Kweli who drop knowledge are the one's I respect {but are usually over the average listeners head}I mean.. Look at how long it took COMMON to get his props!!! I'm just saying that when you actually talk about what’s going on in this world people ignore these problem’s like “The Elephant” in the room!!! So with that said & done enjoy these 4 video’s of 4 of the best "Knowledge droppers" today with COMMON’S “THE PEOPLE” MOS DEF’S“OH NO”, TILB KWELI’S “LISTEN!!!”,& KANYE WEST’S FUTURISTIC MASTERPIECE “STRONGER”WHOOOO NOW THAT RESEARCH WAS CALLOUS!!!COME ON PEOPLE I CANT EVEN MAKE THIS SHIT UP!!!IT’S JUST 2 REAL!!!NOW KEEP IT CALLOUS!!!

SO HERE’S COMMON’S “THE PEOPLE”
common - we the people

THE ROOTS 101:DON’T SAY NUTHIN’

THE ROOTS 101:DON’T SAY NUTHIN’
Yoa what can I say about this BAND!!! I would just call them a “group” but usually a “group” in Hip-Hop doesn’t play there own instruments!!! THE ROOTS a.k.a. The Legendary Roots Crew consist of Owen Biddle, Black Thought, Captian Kirk Douglas, F. Knuckles, Kamal Grey and of course the man with the Fro ?uestlove. These gentlemen are perhaps without a shadow of a doubt, one of the most amazing ensemble of men ever to enter Hip-Hop.(Other than the Wu)In retrospect they always remain fresh and ahead of there time. Originally from Philly in 1992 or 1993 they left to go perform in Europe. Their first album Organix went on to sell about 150,000 copies and then they signed with DGC over there. Then they released “Do you want more” until they came back to the states and released 1996’s “Illadelph Halflife” with the smash hit “What they Do” This is when they cracked the top 40 on the Billboards album charts!!!1999’s THINGS FALL APART was their breakthrough album sales-wise, peaking at #4 on the Billboard album charts. But this was just the beginning of their amazing talent, versatility, vision and depth. They have so many album’s, compilations, and remixes it’s far to many to name here. Also their lead lyricist “BLACK THOUGHT” is in my opinion the “unofficial” brother of the “R” he is that heavy man!!! I mean BLACK THOUGHT is so “dope” that you have to listen to each song 3 to 4 times before you can even get a fragment of the science & knowledge of what he is saying. He can flow fast or slow it really doesn’t matter, you still have to study what he is saying!!! Their fan base is also what every M.C. wishes that they had!!! Their fans range from Jazz enthusiast, to Hard core Hip-Hop head’s to commercial R & B fans. Their range is absolutely Legendary in the world of Hip-Hop and beyond!!! With song’s like “Don’t say nothin” “BLACK THOUGHT” mesmerizes you with the satirical wit of a psychologist!!! I mean “Don’t say nothin‘” can be taken like Don’t say nothing to THE ROOTS or you m.c.’s out there aint saying nothing’!!! That’s how deep BLACK THOUGHT is!!! This “one song” and “video” is so futuristic and multi-layered that people often think it’s “commercial” and don’t realize they are actually being educated!!! Now I could go on about their grammy for the song “You Got Me" a duet with R& B(Hip-Hop) singer Erykah Badu and all of their other accolades, but this is a Blog not a history lesson. And like I said before they have released so much material that It would take far to long for me to write and I would begin to sound redundant. Let me put it to you this way, they are one of the hardest working bands in Hip-Hop or R&B!!! and just seeing ?uestlove on drum’s with that trademark Afro is dope enough 4 me!!! So with that all said and done I’ll let their music speak for it's self with 4 of the dopest video’s ever “What they do”,"You Got me featuring Miss Eryka Badu" then “The Next Movement” and finally the futuristic masterpiece“ Don’t say Nothin’” Now that’s some food for BLACK THOUGHT!!! Now who brings you the real yall???!!! HALLA AT YA BOY!! WHO??? CALLOUS THAT’S WHO!!!

Let’s start with What they Do

NAS 101:ETHER

NAS 101:ETHER
NOW In our ”deepest” & “darkest” hour only “one man” has stepped up to the plate. NAS. While others scurried in the shadows like “rats” against the “Hit maker” Jay-Z, NAS took it strait to the Jigga man!!! And not only did he defeat him, but he made him retire for a short period.(In my personal opinion) Some will argue that Jigga went on to bigger & better things like becoming the president of Def Jam,But if that was the "truth" why did he step down and return to rapping??? But check it we all know the truth. Because in most (not all)Hip-hop circles Jigga got flat out embarrassed!!!And the result for most ”REAL” Hip-Hoppers it was a masterstroke!!! Man to put it plain We cheered as Jigga got dismantled, defused and destroyed!!! With song’s like “ONE MIC”, “MADE YOU LOOK” ,and my personal all time favorite “ETHER” NAS will go down in history as one of the best “counter” battle rappers ever to pick up a mic!!! I mean Jigga would say on so many occasions I got 6 model chicks 6 bottles of criss and 6 bla bla bla whatever. NAS dropped him cold with his responce “ONE MIC”!!! Then "MADE YOU LOOK” & the ultimate crescendo “ETHER”!!! Unfortunately the road to NAS’S success has not been without controversy. In my personal opinion he has only mis-stepped once or twice.I mean I loved “IF I RULED THE WORLD” and later "REWIND" but The first mis-step he ever made was with the song and video ”HATE ME NOW” To most it is said to be a classic Anti-Jealousy hit for the term “PLAYER HATER” But ya boy CALLOUS just saw Puff Daddy and *click* I have never been a fan of “the jewelry” or “Shiny suites”!!! I’m a Hip-Hop purest So that was kind of a mis-step. Also morphing himself into Pac did not set well with me either.. And carrying the cross on his back as if he were “JESUS”??? I could write a whole nother blog on this subject. But regardless of these minor mis-steps NAS’s first album ILLMATIC 1994 is considered to be one of Hip-Hop histories greatest golden classics. Getting the highest rank in the Source.. 5 mic’s!!! Plus The Braveheart also reps Queensbridge without batting a lash. This is admirable in my eyes because I fell the same way about my hometown Detroit. Nasir dose mean “helper” or “protector” so I guess the title “fits” about “protecting” his city. I mean even though he dropped out in the 8th grade, NAS is said to be "one" of the most intelligent self educated men on the planet with knowledge of self. Unfortunately in retrospect NAS does spew negative energy like “GOT YOURSELF A GUN” promoting brother’s to carry “HEAT” against each other instead of putting the gun’s down. Also “POSION” is another dope classic but then he rep’s “the coke snifters”!!!on countless times. This is why he is not a contender for “The R’s title as godfather of Hip-Hop“ Plus he’s too young. But this blog is not about my personal opinion it’s about the facts, and with so very “few” revolutionary conscience rappers around now a days what dose a few commercial mis-steps matter??? Hip-Hop is suppose to be about the love and not the money, but you need money to promote and create. He did however admit to the “sway of materialism” in a song he did with one of the Marly brothers, so he has tried to atone for this worldly ways. He knows what he did was wrong. But hey in his defense only one man to ever walk the planet earth was without sin and they crucified him!!! In closing most people are in an uproar now about NAS’S new album NIGGER. Not CALLOUS If he dose it rite. Because more and more of “my people” act like niggers instead of “The King’s & Queens” that they really are!!! Also with his impressive discography of 1994:ILLMATIC 1996: IT WAS WRITTEN 1999: I AM 1999:NASTRADAMUS 2001:STILLMATIC 2002: THE LOST TAPES 2002: GOD’S SON 2004:STREET’S DISCIPLE 2006:HIP-HOP IS DEAD and the up coming 2008: NIGGER You can’t argue with NAS’S effort to give his people knowledge of self.Unfortunately I couldn't find any real dope video's for EITHER only a fan produced video.But after all like NAS say's it only takes “ONE MIC”!!!

nas one mic





10-8-09 In my opinion regardless of the VMA's lol!,Tending on Twitter or appearing on Opra LMAO! Jigga will be forever ETHERED! NEW FAN VIDEO OF BEST QUALITY...Look up the word "ETHER" in the Urban Dictionary.It's the worst way 2 be defeated in REAL HIP-HOP!WORD!

HIP-HOP MOVIES 101:NOW LET’S KEEP IT REAL!!!

HIP-HOP MOVIES 101:NOW LET’S KEEP IT REAL!!!
Now as “REAL” as some “HIP-HOP MOVIES” may seem, not all of them convey “REAL HIP-HOP”. The movie’s that started it all for me was of course KRUSH GROVE, which debuted LL‘s raw energy, WILD STYLE, and BREAKIN!!! Now There are so many other movies to name so let’s get started with one of the best in DO THE RITE THING, A Spike Lee Joint!!! This movie nearly single handedly helped launch the Legendary Revolutionary Golden Era in conjunction with PUBLIC ENEMIES video FIGHT THE POWER!!!(check out FIGHT THE POWER in PUBLIC ENEMY 101:FIGHT THE POWER) Then there’s of course NEW JACK CITY, BOY’S IN THE HOOD, & MENACE TO SOCIETY, All of which beaconed in the street knowledge era. And then of course there’s SCARFACE. Now let’s just stop here for a moment. SCARFACE didn’t start out as a HIP-HOP joint but is now a Cult Classic in “ALL” Hip-Hop circles!!! It doesn’t matter if your EAST-COAST, WEST COAST,THE DIRTY SOUTH or whatever!!! Now nearly every rapper no matter who they are has a piece of SCARFACE memorabilia in their crib…period. Then there’s the comedies like FRIDAY 1,2 & 3,TALES FROM THE HOOD,CB4 and HALFBAKED!!! Then there are more current romantic HIP-HOP flicks like LOVE & BASKETBALL,BROWN SUGAR and HONEY all dope. Then there is more serious flicks like BELLY staring DMX , NAS, & METHOD MAN. Also CLOCKERS,COLORS,WAIST DEEP COVER,BELLY and then there is 8 MILE Ah yes 8 MILE: Passion. Drive. Perseverance. Unfortunately I’m not a “Big” Emenim fan because he made an “underground” racist song called “OH SO MANY STYLES” when he first started out. But he is said to be “THE ABSOLUTE BEST FREESTYLE BATTLE RAPPER IN THE WORLD!” Being from Detroit myself I didn’t like the way they treated me either, that’s why I stay in Miami now. Plus the fact MIAMI is a virtual paradise. Yea man I didn’t like the way they treated me and IM BLACK!!! So I could imagine what he went threw. If you have seen this movie 8 time’s watch it again because it show’s you what it take’s to persevere in this game we call Hip-Hop. Now is it a “true” Hip-Hop flick? Well it is the highest grossing & critically acclaimed Hip-Hop movie ever made and maybe that’s what makes it “REAL” But ya boy CALI doesn’t measure real by the dollar!!! I’m CALLOUS the FUTURISTIC MILITANT and I measure REAL by what you HALLA!!! Last but not least is another Spike Lee joint and one of my best pick’s of all time BAMBOOZLED!!! staring DAMON WAYANS, SAVION GLOVER, JADA PINKETT-SMITH, TOMMY DAVIDSON, MICHAEL RAMPAPORT and a laundry list of some of HIP-HOP’S FINEST like MOSDEF:Big Blak Afrika,CHARLIE BALTIMORE:Smooth Blak,GANO GRILLS:Double Blak,DJ SCRATCH:Jo Blak,muMs da Schemer:Hard Blak and THE SCIENTIFIC CHAMPION CANIBUS:Mo Blak as THE MAU MAU’s!!! OH yeah M.C. SEARCH 2 as 1/16th Blak.Now there are much more movies to be named but
this is a Blog and I would be going on for days so I will end it on BAMBOOZLED!!!PLUS MY MAIN MAN CANIBUS THE SCIENTIFIC CHAMPION IZ IN THIS ONE!!!(REREAD CANIBUS 101:THE SCIENTIFIC CHAMPION!!!FOR A MORE DETAILED ANALYSIS ON THIS SCIENTIFIC MASTER OF CEREMONY) So as an act of “PURE” HIP-HOP magic hear is THE MAU MAU’s in BLAK IZ BLAK!!!WHY???I KEEP IT CALLOUS!!!

RECORD COLLECTING & MAKING BEATS 101:HISTORICAL STOCK PILING

RECORD COLLECTING & MAKING BEATS 101:HISTORICAL STOCK PILING
M.C.’s have their rhymes, Break Dancers have their “gear” But D.J.’s and Producers have the "GLUE" that holds it all together. By “COLLECTING” VINYL or using SERATO and making “THE MUSIC” or in REAL HIP-HOP terms “THE BEATS”. When HIP-HOP first started, DJ’s like KOOL HERC would put on “Instrumentals” and rock block parties and that’s how it all began. So first let’s talk about the beautiful ART of VINYL COLLECTING. Some say this “MAGNIFICENT” art form is “DEAD” but I disagree. Even with “NEW” Technology such as SERATO, Some DJ’s still prefer cutting real “VINYL” because of the groves and the feel in the records. But some say SERATO is easier than crate caring & crate digging. Most "REAL DJ’s" have an unprecedented “STOCK PILE” and CRATES upon CRATES upon CRATES of RECORDS!!! This is said to be what defines the “REAL DJ’s” from the “modern day” SERATO Kids.But nowadays even more & more DJ's are turning to SERATO!!! Some say it's a 70-30 split in favor of SERATO.But in my opinion the only way “REAL HIP-HOP” is going to make a comeback is with sampling, scratching and raiding these “STOCK PILES” of mirth & gold!!! When RAKIM first came out it was ERIC B and RAKIM!!! Not the other way around!!! That is how important the DJ was!!! And still is!!! The absence of cutting, sampling, mixing and scratching shows!!! These Kid’s now a days are just living on Technology and not skills!!! STOCK PILING is HISTORY and HISTORY cannot be replaced!!! And as much as these young Kids have to offer with Technology EXPERIENCE cannot be replaced!!! Listen HISTORICAL STOCK PILING takes “years” upon “years” to attain and as far as “Skills” go, well there is no substitute for perfecting your craft. And VINYL RECORD COLLECTING perfects a “DJ’S EAR” for music and timing!!! From KOOL HERC to DJ Q-BERT a DJ is only as good as their “Arsenal” So big up to the DJ’s Who still “STOCKPILE”!!!But SERATO is like taking over man.It's a complex argument. Now as far as Producers goes DR. DRE is said to be one of the best “EVER” but there is also, TIMBALAND,THE NEPTUNES,WYCLEFF,DJ PERMIRE(Who some say is the best) and of course my “PERSONAL ALL TIME FAVORITE” THE RZA!!! Now THE RZA is so “ILL” that he has even “TRANSENDED” from just “producing” Albums to doing movie soundtracks!!! THE RZA in my opinion can do it all.. play music, sample, mix, DJ, MC you name it The RZA iz one of the best from a REAL HIP-HOP purest perspective. BUT...the way it is NOW DRE has the most PLATINUM ALBUMS and also “Teach's” people “how” to produce and that is what makes him one of the best in this particular category. It’s like everyone who comes under his wing becomes a “GRADE A” Producer from Snoop, to Warren G to Eminem and the list goes on & on. Big up to the producers BUT DJ’s come first because they were the first producers!!! So with that all said & done here are some clips on VINYL STOCKPILING,SERATO and PRODUCING!!!NOW THAT’S CALLOUS!!!

BEHOLD MERE MORTALS!!!THE VINYL ARK


THE DEATH OF VINYL???:SERATO VS VINYL

B-BALL 101:HIP-HOP FLAVOR NOT LOST IN TRANSLATION

B-BALL 101: HIP-HOP FLAVOR NOT LOST IN TRANSLATION!!!
Out of all the sports in the world, Only “ONE SPORT” has the “ENERGY”, ”FIRE” ,“SPIRIT” & “THE RHYTHM” of “REAL HIP-HOP”… BASKETBALL!!! From every “summertime” street B-ball player to DR. J to George Gervin to The Harlem Globetrotters to Jeramio Moon to MIKE, KOBE & SHAQ, B-BALL has always has its own rhythm of attitude and greatness!!! KURTIS BLOW made a song about it. Which was later remade by Lil’ Romeo. Speaking of Lil’ Romeo, he has even got a scholarship to play B-BALL at The UNIVERSITY of SOTHERN CALIFORNIA. His Father MASTER P was also so good at “balling” that he even almost made it to the NBA. B-BALL is so close to REAL HIP-HOP that even SHAQ rapped for a little while, and It wasn’t half bad!!! My man RASHEED WALLACE from MY DETROIT PISTONS made a guest appearance on one of E-40’s albums and said it “BEST” when he said that he was only into “REAL HIP-HOP” like RED MAN & WU-TANG he wasn’t into the GOODIE MOBS & especially not into THE E-40’s!!!LOL!!! and then theirs ALLEN IVERSON who was HIP-HOP in the NBA before there was HIP-HOP in the NBA!!! IVERSON was the first to rock it raw with Tattoo’s, Braids, Chains and Earring’s… you know HIP-HOP Flavor!!! THE NBA didn’t like it, but now it’s in the whole NBA beyond the “NEW” dress code.STEPHON MARBURY(STARBURY) who is from NEW YORK causing all kinds of “trouble” now with his HIP-HOP attitude!!! And then there’s AND 1. With superstars like HOT SAUCE, THE PROFESSOR, THE AIR UP THERE, A-O, BAD SANTA,THE HELLICOPTER, and SKIP-TO-MY LOU (who started in AND 1 but is in the NBA rite now) all take it to the next level!!! These brothers are so ILL they rival the ILLEST BREAK DANCERS!!! Well here are some “Montages of B-BALL” for all of you to enjoy!!! NOW KEEP IT REAL, AND KEEP IT CALLOUS!!!

FIRST LET'S START WITH MIKE

EYRKAH BADU 101:THE GOLDEN BRONZE GODDESS
Now..For those of you who “thought” that Hip-Hop was only about “RAPPING” you are gravely mistaken!!!REAL Hip-Hop is a state of mind.Past ,present & future!!! There is also DJing, Graffiti,break dancing,fashion,yeah fashion(See my previous blog What iz Real Hip-Hop 4) and some times yes sometimes… even singing!!! Yeah man!!!But im NOT just talking about the same ol’ regular wining & whimpering R&B,im talking about "raw" in your face, Hip-Hop message influenced singing!!! Lauran Hill & Missy are dope, for what they do.So is Floetery they can rap & sing as well!!! “BUT” ERYKAH BADU is the personification of “pure” Hip-Hop!!! Why you may ask? Because ERYKAH BADU is a Neo Soul Intergalactic, erotic, exotic, BEAUTIFUL poetic afrocentric songstress!!! Plus(in my opinion i may be wrong) she is the first singer to ever talk about going to see THE WU-TANG CLAN CONCERT on her very own CD!!!NOW THA'TS RAW!!! Now Remember what I said in my open head liner “An Introspective observation and analysis on the HIP-HOP culture, “THE MUSIC” and the Industry past, present & future. ERYKA BADU live’s, eat’s, and breaths REAL Hip-Hop!!! From her debut Album Babuism(1997)witch had, Rimshot, On & On and Appletree… to Mommas gun(2002) to Worldwide Underground (2003)to her latest creation New Amerykah(Part One:The 4th World War) with her hot new single "Honey"(2008) featuring her new production team called 9th Wonder, Erykah has transformed her self from what a simple female singer was, to what she was destined to be be A REVOLUTIONARY OF VISION AND OF PURPOSE,WITH AFROCENTRIC BLACK PRIDE AND BEAUTY!!! That is why(in my personal opinion)She has earned the title THE GOLDEN BRONZE GODDESS!!! She also has put out sooo many Copulation’s ,Live musical performances, and organized concept singles that she just can’t be stopped!!!(Her live performance’s are to die for!!!) Hell..man her song’s are better than MOST MALE RAPPERS!!!But once again the mainstream disrespects the Goddess at every turn!!! Her current project is called Honey. It is so beautiful word’s can’t describe it. But here is a Video any “REAL” Hip hop Head can enjoy... (Common flows on this joint!!!Plus M.C.Lyte & PUBLIC ENEMY make a dope CAMEO Appearance along with the "OLD SCHOOL" GODFATHER OF HIP-HOP KOOL HERC) Ladies & Gentlemen..I give 2 you my...
Love of my Life!!!Ms Eryka Badu!!!

Love of my Life

BUSTA RHYMES 101:THE KING OF CAMEO'S!!!

BUSTA RHYMES 101: THE KING OF CAMEO’S!!!
What can I say about this man. He predicted 911.And as a “SCREAMING” M.C. myself I know what it takes to blow up the spot like A THERMAL NUCLEAR EXPLOSITION!!! Bottom line Busta can not be stopped!!!From Leaders of the New School to the FLIPMODE SQUAD to currently being with Dr.Dre & Slim Shady on Aftermath.. With top notch speed and delivery Busta Rhymes just can’t be Stopped!!!At one point EVERYBODY had Busta on there track's and Busta juiced it for all it was worth!!!Hence the title KING OF CAMEO'S!!!After all His “Drive” and seemingly “Unimaginable” Energy HAS become the “THING” of “LEGENDS” that obviously comes from ALLAH &THE HIGHER POWERS THAT BE!!! And even though his ALL MIGHTY DREADZ are gone Busta is still a chameleon not to be trifled with!!. Now just break ya frickin neck Boy!!!
HALLA AT YA BOY!!!WHO???CALLOUS!!!

L.L.COOL .J:THE G.O.A.T.-N-"IM BAD"!!!

LL COOL J 101:THE G.O.A.T.-N-"IM BAD"!!!
Just like LL ya boy CALI is a Bad man!!! I remember the first time I heard “I’m Bad” on the radio. I was very, very young and I didn’t fell that good about my self.(peer pressure was a mug)But when “this song” came on I was automatically transformed for ever!!! And when I saw the Video…Well lets just say I started to mimic LL in every way!!! Most of us “Screaming” MC’s had no other choice but to try and out due the G.O.A.T. I then became a Battle rapper and went 4 years strait undefeated!!!! I rocked a Kangol-n-all that!!! But later on I would put my own spin on the Legend in Leather as I developed the Character of CALLOUS!!! It would take years of Battling and development as an M.C. to create the perfect blend of DNA in CALLOUS!!! I then combined all of my favorite MC’s and life long studying to make up My scientific DNA witch is…

THE MOUTH OF LL THE BRAIN OF CANIBUS/THE SOUL OF RAKIM & THE HEART OF KRS/WITH THE SKIN OF RED MAN AND THE DRIVE OF BUSTA RHYMES/ MAKES CALLOUS THE BIOLOGICAL WEAPON BY DESIGN!!!

It would take years & years of studying and mastering of perfecting this style to come up with this perfect blend. But It wasn’t until THE CANIBUS-MAN(in my personal opinion)That I felt as though the Legend in Leather was actually defeated.He has had some close call's but CANIBUS got him.Subsequently In the world of “REAL HIP-HOP"REAL HIP-HOP Head’s have tossed this battle back & forth. But (in my personal opinion) CANIBUS is like so technologically advanced that I think the general public gave the Battle to Uncle L.CANIBUS is like “WAY” over the average listeners head & that is why he is THE SCIENTIFIC CHAMP!!! We can go on for days & day’s about this but CANIBUS-MAN IZ NOT KOOL MOE D!!!THE CANIBUS-MAN IZ NOT ICE T, and not JIGGA…Well I plead the 5th on that one!!! LL is a survivor of the highest caliber , and lets face the fact‘s (on a mainstream level) he remains a constant after all these years. The Ladies Love COOL J!!! and statistically ladies & teenagers are the ones buying CD’S.NOT US SCIENTIFIC MC’s and REAL HIP-JOP Head’s like “MYSELF“. But after CALLOUS!!! Hopefully I will be able to change that because I got commercial material for days!!!But this Blog is “NOT” about me it’s about THE LEGEND IN LEATHER!!!Here is the video That started it all 4 me. LL’s video & style is about OVERPOWERING your opponent with sheer RAW POWER & EARTH SHATTERING DELIVERIENCE!!!I have also included as reference of longevity Momma said Knock you out and Head sprung but now Lady’s & Gentlemen I give you the G.O.A.T. in "I’m BAD"!!!

METHOD MAN & RED MAN:101:DAROCK WILDERZ!!!

METHOD MAN & RED MAN:101:DaRock Wilderz
Yoa How can I put this RED MAN & METHOD MAN are just a set of Siamese twins!!! Each have their very own crew’s(RED MAN has THE DEF SQUAD and METHOD MAN the WU.)Also Reggie Noble is an “UNOFFICAL” member of the Wu. These (Brothers in Arms‘) Separately they where the STANDERD!!!But when they combined forces,. IT WAS OVER!!!THEY BLEW UP HIP-HOP!!!That’s it. Because not only did they have UNDERGROUND success they had COMMERCIAL success as well..(Especially with the Def Jam 2000 push!!!Doing Cameo’s almost as much as the CAMEO KING BUSTA RHYMES!! Red & Meth are Both such top notch spitters that Nobody even attempted to battle them!!!BLACK OUT was such a HIP-HOP CLASSIC that nearly every song on the Album stayed in heavy rotation. The reason I chose DaRock Wilder is because of the HEAT, ELECTRICTY and CHEMISTERY hmm man just play the damn video‘s. LOL!!! Now that’s CALLOUS!!!
P.S.I have also included M.E.T.H.O.D. MAN and..RED MAN'S LET'S GET DIRTY I looked and looked for RED MAN'S "SMASH SUMTHIN" BUT IT WOULD'NT EMBED!!!But like Meth say's on so many occasion's...F&*K IT!!!ENJOY!!!

WU-TANG CLAN 101:PROTECT YA NECK!!!

WU-TANG CLAN 101: PROTECT YA NECK!!!
Yoa What can I say about these guy’s!!!From the slum's of Shoulin(Staten Island)has come forth the most "Amazing" group of men ever assembled!!!The RZA, The GZA, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Inspectah Deck, U-God, Ghostface Killah,Raekwon the Chef, Masta Killah and The Method Man!!!THE WU-TANG CLAN!!! Their first CD entitled… Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers,has to be without a shadow of a doubt one of the worlds most “AMAZING” and “ULTIMATE GOLDEN GEM" Hip-Hop Classic EVER!!! Most “Street ni*%az” “only” like this album because of songs like C.R.E.A.M and METHOD MAN!!! Ni*%az like Meth’s style and all ni#@az LOVE money!!!infact The term C.R.E.A.M. iz now a commonly used term to describe the (Compressed silk cotton)But In retrospective the Wu are the “purest” group of “scientist” the world has ever seen!!! To merely call these 9(now 8) men “just” M.C.’s would be the ultimate insult!!! Yes…They started out as “just” M.C.’s but now they have evolved into a ”GOD LIKE” religion like status in “REAL” Hip-Hop.(especially in New York & Japan!!!) Most of them “ARE” 5%’s so I guess that the “GOD LIKE” status fits!!! There ascension maintained a steady pace, all the way up until WU-TANG FOREVER and their “ULTIMATE” video "TRIUMPH”!!! Bottom line.. ni*$a The Wu went way over most people's headz!!!LOL!!!But Seriously they where on a “philosophical” roll.!!!They had no choice but to do it!!!Ni#!a The Wu released so many “compilation” C.D.s and independent “projects” that the Industry of “Real” Hip-Hop had become oversaturated with them!!! But Like Inspectah Deck said.. “die hard fan’s demand MORE!!!” Man… the Triumph video was so “ILL” that your average nego couldn’t comprehend why it was so dope and tried to lamblast it!!! Check my previous blog at :Monday January 7th 2008 for "TRIUMPH" or this one for the greatest Hip-Hop video ever!!!POINT BLANK WU-TANG FOREVER was The Wu’s “ULTIMATE” Technological CRESEDO!! WU-TANG FOREVER was “Pure”magic and a“Diabolical” and “Utterly” amazing "masterstroke", for those of us who wished to Obtain “KNOWLEDGE OF SELF!!!”I could go into countless “detail’s” about why they are “The Greatest Hip-Hop group of all times” but I wont.(well mabey a little!);) The Wu iz the technological, futuristic “Sh*^t” and the absolute “best“(aside from their closest contenders (THE ROOTS, RUN-DMC,PUBLIC ENEMY, X-CLAN& OUTKAST)BAR NONE they are the greatest group of Lyricist ever assembled, but to discribe that,it would take hour’s and even “Day’s” to explain. But as with all 5% knowledge you must be careful to not “Insult” and "offend" the “God’s" I have peviously “mentioned" the Wu in 1 previous blog as the “THE GREATEST VIDEO EVER” and that’s pushing it!!! I hold nothing but “respect“ and “reverence” for the RZA and the remain 8 original members of the Wu. All I can say is that it is my “UNTIMATE DREAM” iz to pick “THE ABBOT’S BRAIN!!!”DRY!!! LOL!!! The only(supposed)weakness in the Wu’s ARMOR(at the time) was of course Ol’Dirty Bastard!!! R.I.P.“GOD“!!! And Much like Flavor Flav from PUBLIC ENEMY, O.D.B’s unpredictability was so far out there that it was there ultimate foray out of the mainstream(4 now)LOL!!! Peep game…THEY WILL BE BACK B*%CHES!!!THAT IZ IF CALLOUS HAS ANYTHING 2 DO WITH IT!!! AS I TRANSFORM INTO… O.D.B.2.0!!!AND HOW CAN HIP-HOP BE DEAD IF WU-TANG IZ FOREVER!!! Oh excuse me... did I just “rant” sorry about that!!!LOL just kidding, But seriously It just amazes me the Level of "DISRESPECT" that this "Industry" has shown to the “GOD’S”!!!I will openly talk about the 5 other contender’s for the Wu’s thrown on a later date. But let me “just” say this…RUN-DMC was “GREAT” for there period in time but much like KOOL HERC “was” the original “GODFATHER” of hip hop..but times change. The Wu is so "far” ahead of there time “EVEN I” Have a problem keeping up with them!!! LOL!!! That is why it is one of my ultimate “DREAM's” & “GOAL” is to one day become an “UNOFFICAL” member of the Wu like my man Reggie Noble!OUTKAST IZ dope but ya boy Cali feel’s a little indifferent about the whole ”Player image thing” In the Industry now a dayz.ANDRE’3000 iz just that!!! 1000 some odd years ahead of most Rappers!!!Black Thought & the ROOT'S have there very own Fan base but not like The Wu. But this blog is not these other 4-5 groupz It's about the Wu.The Wu iz miraculous!!! The “sheer” and “utter” shining “magnificence” of the Wu is pure “metaphysical” magic!!! With a combination of Middle eastern/Asian Art’s, martial art’s Street Smarts & Ghostface Killahz Paisley Dart’s!!!LOL!!! What up Ghost!!! Bobbie Digital is without a Shadow of doubt one of the greatest scientific mind’s on the planet!!!(Besides THE CANIBUS-MAN!!!) Come on yall you know that This blog could go on for day’s!!! Let me tell you a brief story on how “DEEP” our “LOVE” for the Wu get’s. As Real Hip-Hop HEADZ and Fanz!!!I have a thug friend of mine named “D-LUN” that is just strait up “Out-cold” Street!!! “Gutter” & “Gully!!!” and we would get into these mad debates about how great Wu was (& still is) and who loves them the most, Anyways We went back and forth, up & down, left and right 4 about a month(I liked RZA while he LOVED Raekwon and Ghost)We went on for about a month or so about who the best member’s were ect..ect.. Then “One” Day my boy comes into “WORK“..WITH THE WU-TANG SYMBOL TATTOOED DIRICTLY ON HIS FOREARM!!!LOL!!! Now that’s MAD LOVE DAWG!!! But yoa check it I’m CALLOUS man!!! And I have my “very own” symbol ”THE HAND WITH THE MEAN AZZ SMILEY FACE!!!” So Until I actually meet them and learn there various lessons and or become an actual member, I’m not going that far yet!!! LOL!!! Look at “The Game” he has “N.W.A.” Tattooed on his chest, but because of the “beef” between him & “50” he is branded for life and perhaps will never be able to work with Dre again. I give THE WU the unconditional, unwavering, universal “RESPECT” that they deserve and that’s that. Man this Real hip-hop folklore at it’s best yawl!!! FEEL ME?? The bottom line iz. THE WU TANG CLAN iz the “Sh*t” the do do and yes the bogie D Bop!!! Now come with me to the video that started it all!!! PROTECT YA NECK (KID)!!! Man the first time I saw O’l Dirty I wanted to be just like him, cuz I’m grimy like that!!! U know Because he was so OUT-COLD!!! But I will get “into” all of that later(like I said I can go on for Day’s)But I choose to respect the “GODs” and their lessons. I could mention so many other song’s it would be redundant!!! The Bobbie Digital CD is one of my most ”Diabolical” pieces of source material & I’ll leave it at that!!! Unfortunately Right now iz a time of morning with the passing of the O.D.B. What a damn shame!!! Because much like Professor X, Dirt Mc Girt was one of the worlds Ultimate HYPE MAN!!! So with that said & done let’s get into the guarantied point blank hip-hop classic!!! Ladies and gentleman.. When you mess with the Wu you best to…..PROTECT YA NECK!!!
Peace to all the “GOD’S” and the “EARTH’S“ ya man.. CALLOUS!!!O.D.B 2.0
P.S. and to those of you who missed my blog on the greatest video ever 1/7/08 here in addition to Protect ya neck is the evolution of the Wu-Tang Clan with Da Mystery of Chess Boxing and The Greatest Hip-hop video ever “Triumph”
peace & war CALLOUS:THE FUTURISTIC MILITANT!!!

Man.. I just want to pick his brains and play chess with him!!!He is absolutely the sickest *Dead man walking* DoooDooooDoooooDooo. Bob Diggie yeah you know who M.C.!!!RZA iz without a shadow of a “doubt” one of the Illest M.C.’s Alive!!!(Besides CANIBUS) Combine that with the production know how of an orchestra conductor and you have perhaps the most “Sinister” Scientist ever!!! RZA was so methodical that he entered the Industry as Prince Rakeem with the “Deep”-n-“Dark” intentions “all along” to take it “OVER“ completely!!! RZA is so Sharp that it borderlines” MURDER” Man I am telling you when I first saw “Tragedy” and the way he was bouncing off the wall’s I was like this “NEGO IZ SICK!!!” LOL!!! Then he was like Swinging his arm’s back and forth! I imitated that for like a YEAR!!! Man I could go on for hours about how bad this “Mad Scientist“ iz!!! From taking the work “load” of the entire Wu, to Wu-wear to the Wu’s point system,to BLADE TRINITY, to KILL BILL… to Afro-Samurai Bobby iz just out of his mind yall!!! Man it’s like this he was like and I quote..
” You can’t compare/ to an Atom of my Hair/escape from your Dragoons lair!!!…

” MAN What the fuck!!!? Man when RZA dropped Bobby Digital in Stereo on us 11-24-89 I was like dam this niggaz “FUTURISTIC” as “FUCK!!!” His boy “Meth” said it!!! on ENTER THE 36 CAMBERS that “RZA” was the “BEST” and “better than any rapper any DJ” regardless of ’Meth’s popularity!!! But I didn’t have “ANY” idea on how “melodic” & “methodical” this mad man actually was!!! RZA’s music as BOBBY DIGITAL was light years beyond 1989!!!This is “2008” and I still listen to it!!! It’s that far “ahead” of it’s time!!! Fuck I’m listening to it right NOW!!! LOL!! It still sound’s as “FUTURISTIC”& "FRESH" as the day I took it out of it’s CD case!!! Combine this with all the other various incarnations of himself & Groups like that sick *Rzarector from Gravediggers ,KILLARMY, SONS OF MAN,THE KILLA BEES CD’S,KILLA PRIEST, METH & THE REST OF THE WU, man the list goes on &on!!! Bottom line Bobby iz one of the most melodic men to walk on God’s green earth!!!It’s that simple. Dog RZA just break’s it down like Arm Leg Leg Arm Head!!!(ALLAH)Then there’s those damn ring’z and golden fangz!!! Damn man I got a smile on my face rite now thinking about all of his “Visionary” and “futuristic” antic’s this “man” has innovated!!! Like… FUCK YOU ANOLOG NIGGAZ WE BE DIGITAL!!! Dooo Dooo Doo!Doing all that & still dropping mad knowledge 10,000 feat above the average listeners head!!! Then there’s that mask!!! I had a Bobby Digital T shirt when I worked in the Factory and man I wore that shirt until it was Torn 2 shreds!!! I also had a regular Wu symbol shirt with the same result’s!!! Bottom line I was a complete Wu-Head!!! I still am!!! Wu-Colors don’t run!!! I haven’t picked up 8 Diagram’s yet but I am a.s.a.p. Even when people was hating on them after “Triumph” I was like you niggaz iz just stupid !!!LOL!!!CALLOUS doesn’t have any sympathy for idiot’s who don’t study the lessons!!! Hell my name Is CALLOUS!!! I work hard and study even harder than the average man!!! But I digress!!! ”RZA has some of the most “mystifying” material ever in his archives From “UNSPOKEN WORD” to “HOLOCAUST” to “TERRORIST” to “MY LOVIN IS DIGI” Man Bobby even put these “BLACK WOMEN” in CHECK on “Domestic Violence.. HARD!!! HE AINT L.L. man!!! BOBBY DON’T PLAY DAT!!! He’s Prince Raheem!!! Nigga RZA truly tap’s into the mindstate of the endless “FRUSTRATIONS” of the BLACK MAN!!! Nigga you either feel him or you don’t!!! LOL!!!REAL Hip-Hop head’s know what Im talking about!!!I know it seams’ like Im just “ranting” & “rating” 1 album but BOBBY iz just 2 ILL man!!!And The biggest myth in Hip-Hop is His Album "THE CURE" said 2 be the greatest album of all time!!!But he refuses to release it. So with that said let’s get into one of the Illest video’s ever ”Tragedy”!!! RZA I truly hope that we can work together one day.

CANIBUS 101:THE SCIENTIFIC CHAMPION!!!

CANIBUS 101“THE SCIENTIFIC CHAMPION”
What can I say about this man? For starters CANIBUS is the “Scientific Champion” PEROID!!!RZA iz just way to busy rite now “in my opinion” putting the Wu back on the map!!! Believe u “me” that is the “only” man on the “Planet Earth” that can even come remotely “close” to THE CANIBUS MAN!!! Regardless of” L.L.” or “Emenim’s” Bravado The “C” got um lost on “C”!!! Keep in mid yall we are talking about M.C.’s not rappers!!! Im putting it out there just as plain as day so nobody twist & turns my word’s!!! Can’t nobody fuck with the CANIBUS-MAN!!! rite now. Period. He even has his own religion now called the “Nation of Bislam.!!!“ Lookie here man, I’m telling you truthfully…CANIBUS much like Brother J had to have been Abducted by Alien’s!!! For real!!! LOL!!! No mere mortal man could “possibly” know so much about existence. For me to even be writing this blog is highly “Dangerous.” The CANIBUS-MAN eats’ eats’ eats’ M.C.’s for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!!! His scientific knowledge of the universe is “BEYOND LEGENDARY” in the world of “TRUE” M.C.’s!!!“ HELL” even his “Freestyles” are dope!!! “2ed Round Knock Out” was just a mere “sliver” of his abilities!!! His greatest song to date in my “personal opinion” is Poet Lurate2.I like “INFINITY” but I’m still trying to assimilate #2.Because In #2 This brother is “fearless” and “paint‘s” the canvas of the mind like Mica Angelo!!! Witch raises one Question?!?
WHAT IN THE HELL!!! DID THE MILITARY PUT INTO THIS MAN’S BLOOD STREAM???BIOLOGICAL TECHNOLOGICAL CYBORNETIC‘S & NANO ROBOT TECHNOLOGY!!!??? LOL!!! His mastery over the English language iz so dope that he say’s and I quote:

On lyric’s alone Im a Legend/
but I can’t take credit the English language was not my invention!!!

WHAT!!!???NIGGA WHAT!!!???LOL!!!
But as you can see much like Brother J, Canibus is so far ahead in the future that he might be one of the last ”Grey matter” living human beings in “ALL” of known existence!!! Constantly Transmitting his messages “clearly” threw the “celestial wireless”!!! Obviously by the use of some time based quantum physics and telepathy!!! His very “Spirit” has to be sending him messages from the future!!!That’s the only way I can explain it !!!I mean the man iz “that” dope!!! Unfortunately CANIBUS makes very few video’s so I have to start at the beging of his rain. When he “Destroyed” My main man L.L.“L.L” might be the G.O.A.T. but CANIBUS doesn’t care. In fact he is taunt’s him "FLAT OUT" by naming his last album RIP THE JACKER!!!(JACK THE RIPPER BACKWARDS)Because he is so ridiculously & obviously better!!! the “Scientific Champion” Insults Uncle L on so many levels it is ridiculous.!!! Song’s, tattoo’s you name it!!! L went Toe to Toe with Kool Moe D for like forever!!! And did not quit until the job was done with “Momma Said Knock You Out” and with all due respect to Uncle L he is more concerned about his Career than being an M.C. now a day’s!!! Because if he “was” to go another “round” with this Technological “Mad-Man” it would be “OVER!!! Mention CANIBUS to most people and they get all “UNCOMFOTABLE”-n-“SHIT”!!! after all who n the “HELL” want’s to “Look” Stupid & “uneducated“!!! The Rip the Jacker CD and his others stays in my top 5.With song’s like 100 bars,Buckingham Palace ,POET LUREATE II, Genabis & Levitibus it’s “NO WONDER” the Uncle is “Terrified” of the CANIBUS MAN, But to those of you who think I don‘t “respect” the Legend in Leather your wrong .After all if you go to my myspace page and hear me flow you will hear the following in the DNA make up of CALLOUS!!! CALLOUS has..

THE MOUTH OF L.L THE BRAIN OF CANIBUS/ THE SOUL OF RAKIM & THE HEART OF KRS/ WITH THE SKIN OF RED MAN, AND THE DRIVE OF BUSTA RHYMES/ MAKES CALLOUS THE BIOLOGICAL WEAPON BY DESIGN!!!

Also..IM MALCOLM X 2.0 WITH THE SICK FUTURISTIC MILITANT FLOW/SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT BIOLOGICAL NEGRO

It’s that plain and simple.Oh well…this Blog is about the “Scientific Champ” and “NOT” me. CANIBUS if you “ever” get a chance to read this blog contact me threw my myspace. Or my main man Caesar Johnicvs Im a hard worker & as “you” can obviously “see” I have nothing but the utmost “respect” for “you” REAL HIP-HOP and your “Thrown”!!! What LL did on 4,3,2,1 and is doing with DEF JAM is just flat out “WRONG“!!! The Bottom line iz. CANT’T NOBODY FUCK WITH THE CANIBUS MAN!!! CAN’T NOBODY FUCK WITH THE CANIBUS MAN!!!and even though I’m “good” at this stage of creating the Universe of CALLOUS!!!I know with your assistance and lessons I can make it 100 times better!!! Bottom line… The “CANIBUS MAN” iz a “fierce scientist” “Grand free-styler” and a “Warrior” of “epic proportions” all to the extent of “sheer” and “utter” insanity!!! Caesar Johnicvs a.k.a 3ed hoax the Hip-Hop reset button said in one of my Blog’s that when The “R” made “Follow the Leader” He just simply “Blacked out” Well if he “blacked” out when he did that, then the “CANIBUS MAN” is walking around in a COMA!!! LOL!!! So with that all said & done let us travel back in time to watch “The Man” get down & dirty with Uncle L!!! Because like Rick Flair say’s on so many occasions Wooooo“To be the man you got 2 beat the man!!!“ Ladies & Gentleman pay your respect’s to one of the hardest working poet’s in all existence!!! I give to you the current and raining “Scientific Champion.” CANIBUS!!! In “one” of his most “diabolical” onslaughts 2ed ROUND K O!!! And to quote Rick flare yet again ”You don’t like? you better love it!!! Cause it’s the best thing going today!!! “Wooooooooo!!!
-Now that’s CALLOUS!!!




4-17-09
Now a lot of people look bewildered when i say CANIBUS is the best at what he does so I've returned to this blog to add one of the greatest rhymes ever conceived by a mortal man and until I hear this level of Supremacy and complex thought people just need to Stop asking who the Scientific Champ is...this is Poet Laureate II

BLACK STEEL IN THE HOUR OF CHOAS!!!

Once again this comment was so "DOPE" That I had no "CHOICE" but to "INCLUDE" it in my Blog.And I quote...THE GREAT CAESAR JOHNICVS...

Caesar Johnicvs said...
Can you say "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos"? In my opinion the is Public Enemy personified!

January 30, 2008 12:15 PM

Well you can read my detailed comment's (in PUBLIC ENEMY 101 comment's) as to why I chose "FIGHT THE POWER" over "Black Steel in the Hour of Choas" But let us take a moment to SAVOR the Flavor (FLAVE) in the air!!!!LOL!!!Here it is folk's I give to you "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos"!!!

To say that these brothers are extraordinary would be an understatement!!! CHUCK D started off as a graphic arts student as well as a college radio DJ at Adelphi University until he meet his “ULTIMATE” partner in “CRIME” the “INCOMPAREABLE” court jester of Hip-Hop None other than(Now) FLAVOR of LOVE STAR… FAAAVOR FLAAAVE!!!*snicker*Snicker*Snicker* When these 4 gentlemen & THE S1W’s entered HIP-HOP the “GOLDEN ERA” Began!!! Aside from PARIS & THE X-CLAN, PUBLIC ENEMY were a world class wrecking crew!!!Nobody knew anything about the Nation of Islam or our sorted history before “PUBLIC ENEMY” because after the civil rites movement in the 60’s and 70’s NEGO’S became complacent.(much like they are now) It would take the meeting of these 4 men & the S1W’s to bring people “up to speed” and that the “Nation of Islam” even “EXISTED” Man…CHUCK D would say it oh so boldly.. Farrakhan’s a prophet and I think you ought to listen to/What he can say to you, what you ought to do…

At this time “NOBODY” and I do mean ”NOBODY” was dropping knowledge like this!!! then PUBLIC ENEMY took it to a whole “notha level” with there next album…

Caesar Johnicvs said...
It Aint No Joke is definetly what started it all for a lot of MCs, even me. Almost every MC out there has biten at least one line from that joint because it was so innovative. Nearly, 25 years later, and that song still is as relevant as the day it was made. That joint is solidly in my 10 songs of all time....NO DOUBT! Everyone out there should go back and listen to "It Aint No Joke" and another one of Rakim's flamethrowers called "Follow the Leader"...my personal favorite. I think he just blacked out on "Follow the Leader" 'cause he just went absolutely bananas! On that one he has no real hook, just line after line after line of pure fire! Ever the video for "Follow the Leader is dope!


Good lookin' out Callous...show these fools what's up!

Check out My Melody, I Aint No Joke, Lyrics of Furry, Musical Massacre and of course "MY" ALL time favorite... Follow the Leader!!! Have all set a president and bench mark that have yet to be surpassed!!! PEROID!!! These song’s have set an unprecedented level of supremacy that mere mortal men could not have comprehend at the time!Only Brother J from X Clan and Big Daddy Kane are said to be the only one’s who have ever threatened RAKIM’S THROAN OF SCIENTIFIC STYLE AND KNOW HOW. Some people “SAY” that they wanted to put Big Daddy Kane up against the “R” but that is lost in the mist of HIP-HOP Folklore. Brother J from X Clan is the only man in my opinion to talk about time, space and existence even remotely "CLOSE" to The R’s level. But J was far to intellectual for most listeners. RAKIM was the first in my opinion to use 5% mathematics in a rhyme.(I could be wrong.) Saying and I quote the very gospel of the thus come one…

I take 7 mcs put em in a line
And add 7 more brothas who think they can rhyme
Well, itll take 7 more before I go for mine
And thats 21 mcs ate up at the same time

Come on yall!!!RAKIM’s VIDEO’S in my opinion could not even keep up with the MAN!!!LOL!!! Follow the Leader should have been filmed IN OUTER SPACE!!!LOL!! But technology at the time was not that advanced. Besides the “R” iz a Gangster! The way he Jacked Hip-Hop.. so I guess it fit’s!!! X-Clan’s video’s however were rite on point!!! But like I said X-CLAN and KRS ONE were on some next level intellectual sh#*! RAKIM knew how to do it ALL!!! Rock a Party, control the mic, AND Drop knowledge!!! NAS come’s close but this is the "R" man!!!Even CANIBUS the current reigning Scientific Champ rip’s it raw from the “R” when talking about time & space and in the song SPARTIBUS flat out put’s the “R” in the HOOK showing “pure” unconditional respect!!! It’s that simple. Real M.C.’s know. Ghostface Killah from the Wu-Tang Clan has a joint called Paisley Dart’s where he tell’s it like it is. Thank’s Caesar Johnicvs aka

RAKIM 101: I AINT NO JOKE

RAKIM 101:I AINT NO JOKE
What can I say that I haven't already said in my blog. RAKIM is the "MODERN DAY" GODFATHER OF HIP-HOP!!!{In my personal opinion}. No disrespect to KOOL HERC, But in-between RAKIM,LL,CANIBUS,RZA & THE ENTIRE WU..REAL HIP-HOP has EVOLVED from it's humble origins. This Video "I AINT NO JOKE" started it all for me.The Bottom Line.. All of The R's song's are insightful and ahead of there time. Therefore I had NO CHOICE!!! But to crown "THE 13th LETTER" the "MODERN DAY" GODFATHER OF HIP-HOP! There has been no other like him before him nor has there been any like him after. We can get into a deep conversation about it,go on & on about all these other mere mortal men, but I think Most "MODERN DAY" HIP-HOP PUREST will agree with me.The "R" iz GOD!!!"After all he is a 5%er!!!Seriously... From his re~invention of the 3 bar rhyme scheme,pyramid song building & 5% knowledge plz.-__- "The Master" started it all.Remember we are talking about "REAL HIP-HOP" here, not mainstream rap. Please understand and respect the difference between the two. Regardless of your age or creed.RAKIM is RAKIM and that's that. This Video {I Aint No Joke} also had a hilarious cameo by Flavor Flav of(Public Enemy/Flavor of Love)That made people at the time say..Hey who in the hell was that guy???Also As a contrast from then 2 now I have included Follow the Leader and one of his latest Classic's the song "CLASSIC!!!"Ladies and Gentleman please pay "All" due respect to RAKIM:THE "MODERN DAY" GODFATHER OF HIP-HOP!!!WHY???I KEEP IT CALLOUS!!!

Boggie Down Productions-My Philosophy

I recieved a comment from my man Caesar Johnicvs a.k.a.3ed hoax saying that Boogie Down Productions "My Philosophy" was his personal favorite Greatest Hip-Hop video of all time! I concure that it was one of the greatest by far! Directed by the Great Fab 5 Freddy, Boggie Down Productions "My Philosophy" is bar none one of the Greatest Hip-Hop video's ever produced. KRS ONE is the very "HEART" of Hip-Hop and has been said to be "The Greatest onstage performer of all time!", "The Techa", and "Grand Freestyler" This video goes beyond what MTV or BET was playing at the time. Dropping knowledge back and forth left & right. The reason why I chose Wu-Tang-Triumph as my top video is because of the sheer verity and technological know-how of the entire ensemble of the Wu. All the Wu's various style's combined with cutting edge computer animation (at the time) is the reason Wu-Tang "Triumph" is considered to be my greatest Hip-Hop group's of all time. But much respect to "My Philosophy". You can see "Triumph" on my post on 1.7.08. Here's BDP's "My Philosophy"

What is Real Hip-Hop part:1

What is Real Hip-Hop part:1(THE POST MODERN ERA)
What is REAL HIP-HOP? We all know that the Hip-Hop culture is a state of mind.. including, rapping, scratching, break-dancing, graffiti, music, and fashion. The “culture” of Hip-Hop began in the late 70’s & early 80’s in New York City, evolving from street block parties where DJs would put on instrumentals and rappers would rap over them, challenging each other to see who was the best by either rocking the party, story telling, or battle rapping. Some say KOOL HERC,(Who most say is the rightful GODFATHER of Hip-Hop), GRANDMASTER FLASH and AFRIKA BAMBAATAA started it all, as “THE HOLY TRINITY” of Hip-Hop. Some say BDP vs. THE JUICE CREW started it all with Brooklyn vs. the South Bronx. But… it was in fact all of them INCLUDING other’s such as KOOL KEITH, THE SUGAR HILL GANG, KURTIS BLOW, RUN-DMC, WHODINI, U.T.F.O., L.L.COOL.J, KOOL MOE .D AND THE TRECHEROUS 3, and yes even THE FAT BOY’S who all subsequently started it all together, coming from this “generalized area” as they rapped and scratched about parting, having fun and what was happening on the streets of their neighborhoods and their lives.

What is Real Hip-Hop part:2

What is Real Hip-Hop part:2(THE GOLDEN ERA)
But what is REAL HIP-HOP? REAL HIP-HOP from a true hip-hop purest perspective began intellectually, scientifically, and spiritually with the highest practitioner and forefather of “modern day” Hip-Hop thought, the 13th letter, the R, and the “true” God/Father of Hip-Hop, the one and the only...RAKIM. Where KOOL HERC, GRANDMASTER FLASH, AFRIKA BAMBAATAA, and others brought raw emotion and energy, RAKIM transcended the very definition of (not only) wordplay & metaphors, but also integrated science, supreme mathematics, 5% knowledge, 3 bar timing techniques, pyramid song formation, and complex non-linier thought, Other Conscience rappers at this time included KRS-1, PUBLIC ENEMY, X-CLAN, PARIS, POOR RIGHTEOUS TEACHERS, BIG DADDY KANE, A TRIBE CALLED QUEST, THE JUNGLE BROTHERS,QUEEN LATIFAH and a select few others of “true revolutionary spirit” who would then usher in what would come to be known as the Legendary Revolutionary “GOLDEN ERA” of Hip-Hop, around the late 80’s and early 90’s. Other ground-breaking contributors of substance & style in the “GOLDEN ERA” would include KOOL G. RAP and SLICK RICK(the original forefathers of street swagger), M.C. LYTE, ARESSETED DEVELOPMENT, DA LA SOUL,BLACK SHEEP, and DIGABLE PLANETS to name a few. This was Hip-Hop in it’s most serious and revolutionary phase. At this time Drug Dealing and Pimping(or being a Player) was GENERALLY shunned upon and treated as the low life lifestyle’s that they were and still are! Also those who attempted to “drop knowledge” without studying where shunned upon as well!

What is Real Hip-Hop part:3

What is Real Hip-Hop part: 3(THE PRESENT/TODAY)
Today only a few “Conscience” M.C.’s carry on this tradition of revolutionary thought...Like WU-TANG CLAN, COMMON, TALIB KWELI, THE ROOTS, DEAD PREZ, MOS-DEF and NAS. Other M.C.‘s of the highest “metaphoric” caliber include RED MAN, METHOD MAN, BUSTA RHYMES, The still surviving Legendary L.L. COOL .J and perhaps 2 of the GREATEST scientific and battle M.C.‘s on the planet...CANIBUS and THE RZA. Hear in lies the RUB, At this level in the game of REAL HIP-HOP (not mainstream rap) unless you EVOLVE to understand complex scientist like the CANIBUS-MAN and THE ABBOT, it is suggested that you read no further, continue to listen to the radio and enjoy your MINDLESS COMMERCIAL RAP MUSIC ONLY! And furthermore.. You should refrain from the use of the term REAL HIP-HOP! Including term’s like “I AM HIP-HOP!” and the continued use of the ridiculous catch phrase “PLAYER HATER” all as an excuse to remain ignorant. Because REAL HIP-HOP is about REVOLUTION, DEEP THOUGHT, and SUBSTANCE! Not just simple street rhetoric, it’s all about pushing the envelope and the listener’s limits while breaking the hypothetical constructs and paradigm shifts of the mind in the form of science, metaphors, NEW complicated techniques, wordplay, deliverance, depth and of course at it’s highest levels the REVOLUTIONARY AGENDA! REAL HIP-HOP is what it was and still is at it’s peak “SERIOUS REVOLUTIONARY MUSIC!”

What is Real Hip-Hop part:4

What is Real Hip-Hop part: 4(THE FUTURE)
Why is REAL HIP-HOP “SERIOUS REVOLUTIONARY MUSIC”?
Because.. if not for the aforementioned Legendary Revolutionary “GOLDEN ERA” in Hip-Hop…none of this would hold precedence or substance because the “bar” and “tier” would not have been set!!! Think about it… if not for the “SERIOUSNESS” of our civil rights forefathers like MALCOLM X or HEWEY P. NEWTON, would we even have the freedom to speak on such idiotic nonsense and buffoonery? The Black Man is far more than a “Drug dealer” a “Pimp or Player” a “Thug” a “Coon” or a “Dancing Jiggabo”!!! That is why REAL HIP-HOP is not about that. Today, there are even more and more hard working Black People who go to work every day to provide for their families and are respectable upwardly mobile urban entrepreneurs that are sick and tired of the nonsense and blame REAL HIP-HOP! As an entertainer you put yourself in the position and in the spot light to make a difference! Do you have to be perfect? No. But at least show “some” respect for yourself and your culture!!! Art is art but come on!!! Contrary to what some may lead you to believe, fashion does not automatically make you hip-hop! Just like foolishly going to PRISON, dealing CRACK, KILLING your own kind and PIMPING women does NOT make you Hip-Hop! Because even though you can dress a monkey up... that doesn't make that monkey a man. Just like any boy can lay down and make a baby. But it take’s a MAN to be a FATHER!!!

Everyone is entitled to their, opinion give me yours.
