(Semi) NEW CHANNEL PROMOTING SOME OF THE MUSIC AND VIDEO PROJECTS I AM INVOLVED WITH!:

http://www.youtube.com/user/PHlRE/videos

^^^Channel went up 02-13-12 and things keep getting better with some recovered randomness from the terabytes upon terabytes of recordings laid out on the cutting room floor.
Here you could find a small selection of the 1000's of hip hop beats which we have for sale:

http://www.reverbnation.com/artist/artist_songs/2098432

It is fine to inquire about anything I have contributed or have in my collection, whether for general info or for those interested in buying, etc.

Thank you to all the super buyers and suppliers of information found only here!

Otherwise still looking for a translator. Do you know a southern dialect of Mandarin Chinese? Help me......:>

I need help identifying this random rap! I found this test pressing on Disc Makers a few years ago and it still escapes me as to who this is. Possible names of members: Asiatic and Kaos / Chaos. Seems simple right? Not really because there is too many... See full review

I actually enjoyed this CD, and I bought it on a hunch to listen to when I know it's time to dumb it down a little. I was not disappointed; within 15 seconds of the intro, you will get to hear the rapper, "Just Bleezy" , explain, ass backwards, that... See full review

In regards to the notes I left about the record being "mono-reprocessed", when I listened closely I think the channel separation and balance / panning is better on this Duophonic release than the stereo release!

God! What an interesting album. A1 track starts it off, with about 8 bars of very sample-worthy material for the "hip hop" producers. Very conscience lyrical content, with an interpretation of A4 (forgive us this day) stating "lord forgive us this day... See full review

This record certainly did live up to its printed expectations, evoking a constant "turn it down so you don't piss off the room mates" feeling. Amazing for its time of creation (1970!) and the subsequent technology available to create it. 5/5

It is a very unique album and one which should get more burn from today's funk hunters.

Rated 5, despite the fact that Eminem is on the b-side, and that this is a bootleg. "No Idea's Original" is supreme. Even the Barry White sample (I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little More, Babe) a little overused at the time, suits this perfect.

Hello, if this is the original pressing of this from 1949, it is 33 RPM Microgroove as shown on labels and documented in books and many websites, so it is not one of Columbia's first 45's, but is an early 7" format.

Thanks,

"You Did It Good" - sampled by D.I.T.C. on the track "All Love" ... such a hypnotic 4 bars. One time I looped it and put it as a ringtone on my phone, then I missed most of the calls because i just wanted to listen to it play.

On the front cover it looks like Mr. Carmen just woke up in his favorite spaghetti strap nighty, with the crusty make up from the previous night's revelry still on his face, with a confused "dude where's my car" expression wrinkling his skull. :>

What is incorrect here, the pics (showing catalog 45-2574) .... or the release page (showing catalog A-2574)?

If such a release exists with this catalog number, it would have to be a Capitol Record Club edition, as the stereo LP's catalog number is RS 6326.

I would like to know what distinguishes this release from the other one with the same catalog number (srm 1-652) . As it is, unfortunately, we get to look at 2 really bad pics of the front jacket.

Is one gatefold, the other not? OR is a label variation? See full review
