SLUM VILLAGE 101:THE UN-TAINTED{R.I.P.}BAATIN
Yoa what’s up Yall this is CALLOUS with a commemorative Blog of sort’s… with the passing of Slum Village Detroit Rapper/Emcce Baatin Dead at 35.R.I.P.Now Ya Boy Cali give’s his condolences to all the Family & Fans of one of the “True Legends” of REAL DETROIT HIP-HOP with “knowledge of self“. And If you have never heard of Slum Village or them being from my hometown of Detroit, that’s probably because they didn’t rap like it. They lead the 2002 Heart ~n~Soul Hip-Hop movement in The “D”. And unlike MOST Detroit Rappers who Rap Gangster & get killed over Drug Deals gone wrong, Baatin had heath issues. The results are still unclear.But Police say there is no dealing’s of foul play. toxicology results will take a couple of weeks. The Bottom line is that It’s Deaths of Righteous brothers “like this” that Keep me going on and continue to drop knowledge. For you never know where your going to get your last glass of water from or how long you have to teach the mass’s on this Planet. Plus any body who knew Slum Village knows they where about Peace, Unity, Love, Respect & Black Hip-Hop Harmony. Now I didn’t know them “personally” but their reputation and skillz in the REAL HIP-HOP community of Detroit attained them more “respect” than “Slim Shady”110%!!! For various reasons I cannot get into on this blog. Ok..now Slum Village first major hit was 2002 “Tainted” off the CD Trinity (Past, Present and Future) and if you listen to Real Hip-Hop you “will” remember the song, but you may have forgotten who made “it” because “Slum Village” was often confused with A Tribe Called quest or even more so the super mega group “THE ROOTS”. Now don’t get it twisted they did have a very unique style of their own,plus more than 1 Rapper. like The Roots. & when Battle tested They could go HARD!!! Slum Village was formed by three members: rappers Baatin and T3, plus rapper and producer Jay Dee. Jay Dee left in 2002 to pursue a solo career with MCA Records and was replaced by Elzhi, after which Baatin also left due to health complications. Baatin was due 2 make his triumphant return to the group this year, then unfortunately he just passed away. Seriously ya’ll unlike “SOME” Detroit Rappers who lead a Self~ Destructive lifestyle Baatin will truly be missed. And on a personal note….As a Detroit Rapper/Emcce myself I think People tend to get things confused that Detroit is a second NO third Tier REAL-HIP-HOP “community” because of some scrupulous unsavory “characters” or racist “Individual’s” not true. Because it’s group’s like Slum Village & my man Royce Da 5”9 who show true skills without going “Koo Koo Clock” Brain Dead Gangster on you!!! Ok lets get into the “Difference” as to why Slum Village was as Smooth “Romantic even” & Dope as hell in a Battle!!! With 3 of their best knowledge dropping jewels Tainted ,Selfish & Raise it Up! Keep it CALLOUS ya’ll.
Peace-CALLOUS:THE FUTURISTIC MILITANT!!!
