Rasco feat. Defari & Evidence - "Major League" Laid in Full by M-Boogie Song released in 1998. Mix released in 1999. Underground Hip Hop

Dope and raw late 90s cut by this trio of vets from the Cali underground. Rasco dropped his solo debut album, Time Waits for No Man, on Stones Throw Records in '98, but he also put out a 12-inch that same year that had a remix of a track from that album on it too, called "Major League." And with that remix came a better, Melba Moore-sampled beat, different deliveries of the chorus and first two verses, and a brand new third verse from Rasco as well.

And ya just gotta give it up for the ever-underappreciated Evidence on this one, especially, folks. I know he's a pretty well known MC among hip hop heads already as one-third of Dilated Peoples, but his always smooth and laid-back monotone style still feels vastly underrated to me. Here he delivers a full middle verse riddled with nothing but baseball metaphors, and then while Rasco follows up with a decent baseball verse of his own, it doesn't end up holding a candle to Ev's.

Produced by Joey Chavez; cuts and scratches by DJ Babu, who is a member of Dilated Peoples too.

My third album of 2023 (& my whole career!), Burnt Silk & Blessed Builds, is out now with my Godbrother @realkingkamaal . These songs represent our fight against oppression and unfortunately real combatants challenging us disrespectfully and dishonorably, thus the Burnt Silk. It is also anchored by powerful insights and soulful intricate songwriting, surely blessed builds.

No one can listen to this and not recognize the genius of the Hawk, King Kamaal's executive direction, arranging, astonishing expert lyricism and technique, soulful harmonizing and Mayfield groove. My improvement of leaps and bounds this year from our first LP to here has so much to do with the rehearsing and education King provides and then a freedom to create without hindrance. The producers @truecipher @djphonz1974

@seriousbeats absolutely inspired us and the MCs @indigophoenyx_official

@ap_da_overlord @infinite7mind

are exceptional here as they have been their whole careers. My brother @deejay_toshi

wound and bound a major song while Indigo created a lush cover for us. Of it all it is my youngest daughter, Alma, and her performance on "Remembered In Perfection" that signifies how intimate and major this LP creation is to my life. As I will protect her, I will also uphold our integrity in all of our creativity as we Creators create creation. We still build...

Supreme thank you to all who listen, share, comment and support our work.

Peace, Sunez Allah

Today's compilation:

Mikrofoncheck 2 2000 Hip Hop

No, Phife, you got it exactly right! This is Mikrofoncheck 2, a turn-of-the-millennium double-disc that highlights a bunch of good German rap tunes that were pretty clearly inspired by the US' own underground rap landscape at the time. And maybe I'm not the most equipped person to post about German rap, because I barely know any German words myself, but hear me out: the great thing about listening to rap in any language that you personally don't understand is that you don't have to involuntarily use any brainpower in order to interpret lyrics; and when you're not busying yourself with that aspect, you can then dedicate your focus to other parts of an MC's craft, like timing, flow, delivery, mic presence, etc. I feel like when dope US acts get little to no love in their home city, but then go on tour overseas and sell out venues in places where the people know barely any English at all, it means that there's a certain universality to rap skills. Like, you don't have to get what's being said in order for it to resonate. You dig?

So, speaking of underappreciated US acts, New York's Arsonists are on this release's very first track, with a remix of German rap pioneer Torch's "Die Welt brennt" that features a verse from one of The Arsonists' own members, Freestyle. If you know your 90s-2000s New York underground rap stuff, then you know that The Arsonists make S-tier music. They never broke big, of course, but they were one of the top groups to be featured on the Stretch & Bobbito Show, a legendary program that aired during the ungodly hours of 1-5 a.m. on Thursday nights/Friday mornings on Columbia University's radio station, 89.9 FM WKCR. But despite that absurd time slot, Stretch & Bob were still able to bring in a long, long who's who of unsigned and underground talent into the studio that would later go on to smash on a commercial level, including Nas, Jay-Z, Notorious B.I.G., Big L, DMX, Busta Rhymes, and a whole lot of others. I actually caught the premiere of a Stretch & Bob documentary back in the mid-2010s in Central Park, and right before that showing was a concert that featured a bunch of the acts who ended up making that whole show what it was. And you already know that The Arsonists were on that stage, man!

Here's a little introduction to Stretch & Bob if you're not familiar:

youtube

Anyway, while that Arsonists remix is great, and is probably the tune that would get most people to cop this release in the first place, I don't think that it's this album's best song, overall; because that honor goes to Nico Suave's "Barkeeper." Nico has a super lame stage name, *BUT,* when you're talking about a full package of beats and rhymes, nothing else on this album tops that one. Astonishingly, the full-length, nearly five-minute version of this tune only has 344 views on YouTube, but this really feels like one of those bits of early 2000s gold that you'd randomly stumble across on Limewire back in the day. And I'm probably only saying that because the beat is on some smooth and soul-piercingly jazzy Nujabes type of tip. And if you knew Nujabes before YouTube, Samurai Champloo, and 'Chill lo-fi beats to study to,' it was probably because either you or one of your friends discovered him via file sharing.

And I know what some of you may be inevitably thinking: 'German rap? That actually sounds corny as hell.' But you're wrong. The German language may be sharp and clunky and it really may not seem all that compatible with rap on its face, but the beauty of it is that there's a deep uniqueness to the German language that has people rapping in ways that non-German speakers are fully incapable of doing themselves. Within every language are vast amounts of intricacies, with each one possessing its own capabilities and possibilities; and German rap really seems to unlock something that no other type of rap can, because there's no other language in this world that's really quite like German.

And on top of all that, a bunch of these beats simply slap too 😋.

Highlights:

CD1:

Torch feat. Freestyle - "Die Welt brennt (Arsonists remix)" Chosen Few - "Raw Beauty" Tim X-Treme - "Weird Shit" Lyn - "Blenda" Plattenpapzt feat. Tefla & Jaleel - "Wenn Zonis reisen" ABS - "Mathematik" Deichkind - "Was der Anlass" Nico Suave - "Barkeeper" Marburg Asozial - "Rap-Attack-Uppa-Cut"

CD2 (DJ mix by DJ Swift, which mostly consists of the same tracks from CD1):

Square One feat. Johnny Dolo - "Until Then..." Torch feat. Freestyle - "Die Welt brennt (Arsonists remix)" Deichkind - Was Der Anlass" Lyn - "Blenda" Nico Suave - "Barkeeper" Marburg Asozial - "Rap-Attack-Uppa-Cut" ABS - "Mathematik" Plattenpapzt feat. Tefla & Jaleel - "Wenn Zonis Reisen" Stieber Twins - "Malaria"
