So on Monday Masta Ace and Edo.G came to the town where I study, Kiel. I've seen Ace for the seventh time, each time it's different, but this time it was really special!I arrived in Kiel on Sunday,I drove 2 1/2 hours with my brother, since I don't really live in Kiel anymore, I just go there to write my exams (but pssssst). So that night there was supposed to be a Ustream of Ace and Edo from

The fabled 304 Posse consisted of DJ Quik, AMG, Hi-C & 2nd II None, which made appearances on each others earlier albums. They were always the highlights for me, as there was sure to be some incredibly ignorant and equally hilarious lyrics to be spit. Whether is was fucking babysitters or just cussing some nasty female with her "female funk". These series of tracks start showing up on Quik's

Words from Moka: Seasons Greetings... This is my sixth edition of the Martian Xmas series. I feel that over the last few years of doing this annual project I have developed a certain continued vibe that is set apart from my other album releases. Martian Xmas was never intended to be a 'standard Xmas' album per se but more so an excursion into the sounds of north American winter during the holiday

The number of great posse cuts has seemed to dwindle over the years. In the past, the posse cut seemed to be a way to put on others in your crew, or posse, and make the public aware of their talents. Sometimes they were members of the same crew, and sometimes they were other label mates that were, at times, forced onto the same track. The nineties were a big time for such a posse cuts and

Nothing but legends on this past Friday's "Live From HeadQCourterz" show. Our guests were Masta Ace & Edo G (A&E) in the first hour and O.C. & A.G. (D.I.T.C.) in the second hour. Check out the freestyle sessions from both groups within the mix as well. I believe that does it for me for awhile on Fridays as DJ Premier will be back in effect in his own house this Friday night fresh off of tour.

What's good y'all. Little slow around here this week, with the shortened work week and a holiday week at that, so we probably won't get too crazy this week. Look for a return of the WYDU Classics this weekend and probably a couple other things. Until then, enjoy some of the better artist submissions we have gotten lately and enjoy your time with the fam. - TravLOVE POTION NUMBER 9th: THE

Straight from the Social Light Sounds family, we have a real dope project dropping on us. Mr. Live and his Drama Class cohort Earl Blaize come at us with "Hip Hop 101 Appreciation", a project that is a humorous concept album that tackles some important topics in hip hop in semi-serious/half joking kind of way.Some of you may remember Mr. Live from his single on Fondle 'Em in the late 90's, Relax

Here's last weeks shows from both "Live From HQ" and "Rap Is Outta Control". On "Live From HQ", Lord Finesse and The Beatnuts came through and talked about current projects as well as the Roc Raida benefit show which happened this past Tuesday at SOBs. On "RIOC", Bekay and Diabolic were in the place promoting Bekay's "Hunger Pains" and D's upcoming album. And while we all waited for the crazy

Back in 2000, I had just graduated from college and I was in this weird transitional phase with the music I was listening to. At this time hip-hop was all over the place, but I wasn't really digging a lot of it (really starting around 1997 or so). Then I discovered independent hip-hop and I was reminded of why I liked hip-hop music to begin with.At this time, I was snatching up anything I could

I know cats like to categorize hip hop, it's the new thing. Hell, I'm guilty of doing it myself at times. You got crunk, gangsta rap, hipster, underground, nerdcore, and probably another ten to fifteen others you can name. But sometimes an artist comes along with music and/or an album that you just can't apply a label to. That can be good and bad sometimes. People, I think by nature, want to be

I've long thought about how to do a video show in the same vein of Yo! back in the days. Is it possible or did youtube just kill the video show? I'm not sure if it's something that could ever happen again or not. The fact is though, I miss videos. I mean yeah, we can go to youtube and check them out whenever we want, but I miss the package of a hip hop video show. Yes, Ed and Dre were great as

The internet has made our world so much smaller than it really is. Before I started WYDU, I spent a lot of time on the Cocaine Blunts forums, where a bunch of like minded cats gathered to trade obscure, out of print, hip hop that most normal people would have no clue even existed. It was here that I met "Fritz The Cat" aka Ryan Somers. I don't even remember his user name on there, but we started

We've had a rough year for hip hop performers and their deaths, but for some reason, this one kinda hits me harder than most of the them. I guess it's because Derek B was part of that initial group of hip hop artists I got into the fall of '88. I remember seeing his video for "Bad Young Brother", and went and bought the tape at a local K-mart, Fred Meyer, or Shopko or something like that. The

“Remember music videos?”, says the bitter, crusty, old man. They were a great visual aid to the groups that you loved, and a lot of times actually helped you get into new groups.Below are some great videos from The Pharcyde and Beastie Boys. I set out to load up a bunch of different groups, but figured I’d start with these two groups, since they have so many great videos between the two. Most of

Hailing from Philadelphia, Schoolly D is considered one of the first gangster/gangsta rappers, if not the very first. His lyrics were primarily street related, although he did have a lighter side, as evidenced in songs like Mr. Big Dick and Mama Feelgood. I also liked the fact that there was usually a lot of scratching, provided by DJ Code Money.Recently, he was heard doing the theme song for

For my taste, 2009 has been an incredible good year for Hip Hop. We have new dudes like Fashawn, Kid Cudi and Wale coming up as the next generation, who all released hot albums, we got some of the Heavyweights like Eminem, Jay-Z and Raekwon who released great albums, some hot ungderground albums like Double Barrel or the Superstar Quamallah album „The Invisible Man“ and we also had huge

Legal Drug Money was the debut album from The Lost Boyz (Mr. Cheeks, Freaky Tah, Spigg Nice and Pretty Lou). The vast majority of the MCing was handled by Cheeks and Freaky Tah. Tah was to The Lost Boyz what Sen Dog was/is for Cypress Hill, mostly a hype man in the background of most songs, but kicked a couple verses from time to time. As far as I can tell, Spigg Nice was a DJ and I still have no

WYDU happily presents the new mixtape from The Equation's UllNevaNo, "The Color Purple". It features UllNevaNo rhyming over strictly Evidence beats, from his colored instrumental series. We've had a few leaks in the past few weeks, so the time has come for the whole project to be unleashed. UllNevaNo combines his raw flow over the Evidence beats and makes the tracks his own. It's a nice way for

I have the pleasure of pushing a member of the WYDU family today, with Cee & Bekah dropping their third volume in the Soul Movement trilogy and this one might just be the best of the batch. If you follow WYDU often, you'll know that we've featured the previous two Soul Movement's from the Aussie crew and we've also had them featured in our New Artist Spotlight last year.
