EMS x RTD: ThrowBack Thursday 002

Last week, we brought you one track... this week? EMS is throwing out an entire album!

For part 2 of EMSxRTD's "Throwback Thursday I give you "Neighborhood Knock" a complete street album/mixtape. While touring the Boston rap scene, M-Dot met up with another local named Grime Tha MC (of The Camp) & after doing some shows together it was discovered they somehow lived on the same street & never even knew about it. So from that they decided they should do an album together and this was the final product. A soulful, gritty, boom-bap filled street album/mixtape with lyrics and stories of everyday life and struggle.

[video] Eminem On German TV

Freestyle:


"We Made You" Performance:

Destiny's Child "Emotions (Jansport J Remix)"

Destiny's Child "Emotions (Jansport J Remix)": The homey Jansport J flips Destiny's Child's flip of Samantha Sang's "Emotion". Reminds me of when 9th Wonder would throw out his various remixes. Has that ill Soul string vibe to it. Must download and blast this while doing your Saturday morning chores.

Hi-Jynx "Paradise" [preview]

Hi-Jynx "Paradise" [preview]: I had seen Hi-Jynx's name around - I believe Shake threw up a track that he was on with PreZZure. I'm not sure where this will end up, but this throwback sampling banger fits right into my flavor on a chilly May night like this. I hear the bad asses out there screaming, and I'm about to crack a freeze pop and try to cool out. I'm kind of focused, and I hope I get more cuts from this dude via the ABM NY fam.

Bonus Beats Jeremiah ft. Hi-Jynx "Birthday Sex (Remix)"

Finale "Heat"

Finale "Heat" (prod. by J Dilla): Finale got a co-sign from Dilla Dog before he passed, and this beat was off one of Jay Dee's beat CDs, and made before his untimely passing. This isn't the run-of-the-mill Dilla beat - its a bit grimier, kind of understated to be honest, but Finale blasts through the whole thing like a bazooka ginsu. Whatever that means.

I believe Interdependent Media is giving away 45s with this one (b/w Tanya Morgan's "So Damn Down") if you order Brooklynati early, so you vinyl lovers, get on it!

[video] Play Ents "Bring It Back"

The UK Remedial Dance Olympics continue on:



DJ Cable says I should make up my own dance. Need to perfect the RTD Strut!

Rihanna ft. Lady Gaga "Silly Boy"

Rihanna ft. Lady Gaga "Silly Boy": Not sure how long this one has been sitting around, but it looks like Rihanna picked up right where she left off with Good Girl Gone Bad. This style might be the one she needs to stick with to thrust herself back into the limelight... no? Big up to Digiwaxx for the hookup.

BK Cyph "Ode To Panamanian Cricket"

BK Cyph "Ode To Panamanian Cricket":On twitter the other day, I made a comment about how Lady Gaga's ass > Lady Gaga's face. The nigga BK Cyph hit me like "I don't really see the hype", and hipped me to THIS. I was definitely blown away - damn. I know of a few Panamanians, and I never seen them stacked like THAT! Cyph said he'd rhyme to any beat about Panamanian Cricket ass, and I hit him with Cassie's "Must Be Love" instrumental, early.

Today he hit me with the ode; here's his note on the situation:

A few days ago some pics leaked online of some chicks at a Cricket game in Panama. FUCKIN AMAZING! Some folks are claiming photoshop and that may be the case, but I couldn't take that chance. I've already booked my flight to Panama City and I'm embarking on a Borat-like expedition- wish me luck. But before I left, I decided to write a little song about it for your listening pleasures. Oh yeah, shouts to Cassie and all the good folks in the dELiA*s mailroom. HA!

Speaking of Cassie, don't say that the she's topless... say the titties is out.

EDIT Looks like we've been had. Fun while it lasted?

Willie Joe & B.o.B. "LIl' Rascals"

Willie Joe & B.o.B. "Lil' Rascals": I know this track had already been leaked, but after the night I've had, I had to throw this up. I've cracked my 22 of Becks and I'm reflecting on the last 3 hours of my life, damn near murdering my 2 1/2 year old son (in the right) and his homey Noah. Man, these little kids will drive a nigga crazy! Anyways, this track is my shit - something about that part of the Lil' Rascals theme hits me on a certain level. Plus, its cool to think about my son runnin' wild as a lil' nigga... although he'll never be on the level of grime that Willie and Bobby Ray speak on in this one, if I do my job. Fuck that.



"I'm somethin' like a weak-nigga tester" is a dope line. And this is a dope song. And raising a son is one of the dopest things I've done in my life. Otay?

"You know how back then the Spice Girls had girl power?" asks Sarah. "With us it's lady power, girl power on crack!"

That doesn't even sound right; remedial life FTL.

East New York's Marv kicks some real talk about you fake talking niggas atop N*E*R*D's "Rockstar", and it sounds major. Get at him on his blog and on twitter, and be like "send khal more fire!"; this is the first single from his mixtape, Me And My Money.

Lady Gaga ft. Busta Rhymes "Just Dance (Ted Smooth Remix)"

Lady Gaga ft. Busta Rhymes "Just Dance (Ted Smooth Remix)" [clean \ dirty]: In an age where the term "mash-up" has erased what I grew up on, the BLEND, Harlem's Ted Smooth is keeping the sound alive. Just peep how he took Fatty GaGa's track and threw the "Nigga What, Nigga Who" beat underneath, really playing with the varying tempos. Solid work.

MP3s via Splash.

For those looking for more Ted Smooth remixes, hit up this post Cipha Sounds did a few months back; he has thoroughly rinsed his blends of "Jumping Out The Window" and "Blame It", among others. MORE FIRE!

Why these niggas sound like Bone Thugs randomly is beyond me, but vibe to this one on a muggy summer night.

Wafeek "The Real Thing"

Wafeek "The Real Thing": Feekee's latest leak keeps the gonzo alive, giving you that brutal honesty that most rappers seem to disregard...

True story: It's not madness that allows Feekee to get past serious heartbreak after his woman leaves him for her gay lover. In this song, Feekee's prophetic calm defies the rage, and he declares future love with optimistic melodies and a lush rhythmic foreground. The prime mesh of soul samples and sly backing drums entrance the listener as Feekee paints the possibilities of his new relationship. The Auto-tune, labeled robotic by some, is employed to display Feekee's unique approach to the device. The song's hook, " hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye," sums it all up.

Marinate on that.

Tanya Morgan Brooklynati [review]

Back in the summer of 1999, I was very green: this was the summer before I went to my lonely year at LaSalle, the summer where I finally used my own hard-earned money to cop shit I loved (shelltoes and Ecko backpacks), which happened to include good music. That summer, my discman played a few discs non-stop: Company Flow's Funcrusher Plus, Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star and The Roots' Things Fall Apart. I remember this summer because of these albums - they documented where I was at mentally and emotionally in my life, and, front-to-back, are some of the cornerstones in the next phase of my Hip-Hop evolution.

And, sadly, this is the last time I remember buying albums that I could play without skipping... until now. And on May 12th, you'll be able to cop what I'm calling my favorite album of 2009, Tanya Morgan's Brooklynati. Some call TM our generation's De La or Tribe. I can see that, but really, I just consider them to be ill. They are our Tanya Morgan, the evolution of that female that Common used to love, and has now (seemingly) abandoned. And with Brooklynati, the sound that they've cultivated since Moonlighting has blossomed into a busty, beautiful bombshell, eager to intoxicate and entice with her soothing grooves and insightful lyrics.

Sounds weird? Good. For your Internet geeks who clutch your Jansport packs tight, this one should win you over on beats alone. I threw this on on a rainy night, standing on the busstop, and I felt like I got transported to high school, when I could really ride out with an album, and not just skip back and forth to my favorite cuts or the rawest beats. And when you listen, the niggas are really saying something. Yeah, they do have tracks where they are "rappin' about rappin'" ("Just Not True"), but even those tracks are delivered on an iller plane than what some of these acts produce. The thing is, these are real niggas. If I lived in Brooklynati (which is one place I feel is like a second home), I would crack a brew with these cats and snap on the niggas walking through the hood.

Plus, these niggas are FUNNY! How many acts can throw together a running joke, like a Hip-Hop group that had one hit 15 years ago... then include a song that is their hit!?!? And make it sound like Onyx meets Souls of Mischief ("Hardcore Gentleman")?! Strolling through Brooklynati, you're forever treated to radio station drops and other soundbytes that will keep you chucklin' in between the beats, as if the seed that Prince Paul and De La planted has continued to bloom right in Yancey Park. They aren't just jokes, though - "Plan B" is a true testament for those artists who know they are doing what they are destined to, for its what fuels their drive; the trials and tribulations of being struggling (starving?) artists in today's music scene is broken down with real talk and honesty in "Don't U Holla", but in hearing tracks like the Lessondary crew-posse cut "Never Secondary" (whattup Elucid!?!?), or Blu-assisted "Morgan Blu", and you know that love is there - but, hey, we all need some kind of compensation for the work we do, nahmean?

And I'll be DAMNED if "Without U" isn't our generation's "I Used To Love H.E.R.", which is a dope completion to the cipher, if you understand the name Tanya Morgan.

The number of features include some of my favorites like Phonte, Brittany Bosco, Che Grand, Kay and a host of others, who addsome vibrant colors and voices to this already-stunning piece of material. Comedy, joy, pain, REAL LIFE... this is like a modern-day documentary of Anyhood, USA. I won't call it an opera, for no fat lady is singing... TM's legacy will continue on, and I'll keep bangin' this joint front to back until my wife tells me to cut the shit.

rock the dub gives Tanya Morgan's Brooklynati a 4.5 out of 5 stars for fresh lyrics, timeless beats and a complete, concise package that lives up to all of the hype and acclaim bestowed upon these talented brothers. Grab your boarding pass, the next train to Brooklynati departs... NOW!

For more info on Tanya Morgan, visit their MySpace page. Get some info on their label, Interdependent Media, HERE, and make sure you pre-order and cop the album (or the limited edition) from the IM store.

Groove Theory "Tell Me (Jansport J Remix)": Wow. Definitely unexpected. I spent a good part of my teen years infatuated with this - truly one of my favorite R&B tracks, ever. J puts his spin on this one, and for those who want to throw piano-driven (or just allow their sets to incorporate some quality music), grab this one and let fly.
