Hello It's Me...................................Back in a few...

word up my good peoples that read this blog my fellow bloggers, Travis, Dart, Dan et al and send out ill e-mails, comments and props, always know it is much appreciated and some kool kat (kool kool kat) named Spliff gets big props too.

I will be back on the scene (with a lean and a pocket full of green ha ha)
http://www.chubbrock.com/HomePage.html

NOT The Chubbster...w.t.f.

This is though

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jv4fThZnNkA

please come back Chubb Rock, Hip Hop could use your style, originality, and comedic talents these days.

very shortly with I promise, a dope and well researched Back To 1991 comp and write up, I have been through mad records, mp3s, cd's, lists, tapes, forums etc...for this one,by the way why is it that every time I listen to Oodles of O's I hear new things?

as Just Ice would say on a m.i.c device

Rock On, Rock, Rock On

pfffftttt...you thought I was going to leave you without ANY dope tracks?

Like Al Tariq in 1996 I think not...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen...17 Years later, The Ultimate Force album is getting released...YEP...that Ultimate Force
Diamond D & Master Rob, who you know from the classic, I'm Not Playin.

This album is incredible and The Supreme Diamond D was in the essence of James Brown (RIP) samples,fat breaks and a clear Jazzy Jay influence.

Diamond D was definitely well ahead of his time in the production department and Master Rob was the perfect MC if you ask me, I have no idea why this has been locked in the vaults for sooooo long, but I am not complaining...

This is being released through Strong City records in late March (US release) and the album comes with instrumentals and accapellas..

This had made my whole year to be honest, because I hadn't heard about it until I was doing a search last week and it led me to this link>

http://www.undergroundhiphop.com/store/detail.asp?UPC=TEG76528CD a really young Fat Joe comes off hard on 2 tracks as well.

I don't think it would be right to upload the full album here because...

I class it as a new album and I don't post new albums.

If this sells well then someone smart with a fat sack of ca$h is going to get the masters to The Wascals-Greatest Hits album and we will all think Santa came mad early,( i have been putting thought into it myself) anyways, who would have thought that a lost album from 17 years could still sound so fresh...

so here are two of the best tracks from the album:

ultimate_force-i gotta go
http://www.zshare.net/audio/ultimate_force-i-gotta-go-mp3.html

ultimate_force-tuff so damn
http://www.zshare.net/audio/ultimate_force-tuff-so-damn-mp3.html

and crazy gratitude and thanks to my man Fritz for this one...

Salaam Remi...Respect Due

Salaam Remi...Respect Due

Yes! you all know that name, so why is he such an under rated producer and remixer?, this Man has put in much work since the early 90's and you never really hear much about him at all.

I think that's a shame and even more so when kids only know the name from the Ini Kamoze-Here Comes The Hot Stepper (1994) or the Nas-Made You Look joint (2002) which was a banger by the way, the way he slowed down Apache was perfection and Nas killed it, in fact Nas still does his best work over Salaam's beats, now please read on...

right then ..

y'all kids tucked in?

(yeah)

Heeeeeeeerrrrreee we go...

Salaam Remi was born Salaam Gibbs, the son of Van Gibbs, who himself was a prolific producer and studio musician and produced for The Fat Boys, Kurtis Blow and MC Rell and a whole host of Pop, Jazz, Funk and R & B artists since the mid 80's.

Salaam started out playing keyboards for Kurtis "These are The Breaaaaaakkkksss" Blow for his 1986 Kingdom Blow album, he gained an interest in production and soon ended up producing and programming on MC Rell & The Houserockers-Into The Future album (1989).

Then Marley Marl and Craig G roped him in for some co-production and a remix on Craig G's second album Now That's More Like It (1991),In 1992 he laced up Zhigge's only album in 1992 (except for Harlem a track that he co-produced with Milo Johnson) and also Supercat's-Ghetto Red Hot and a few tracks on the Bobby Konders & Massive Sounds album.

Then he went onto produced and/or remix for...

House of Pain
Biz Markie
Black Sheep
The Fugees,
King Sun
Naughty By Nature
Major Stress
Channel Live
Runaway Slaves
Brand Nubian
Public Enemy
Vicious
Funkmaster Flex (co-production)
Nas
Rebelz of Authority
AZ
Jurassic 5
Ludacris
Fu-Schnickens
Ras-T
Pras & Wyclef
John Forte
Canibus and others...

plus he also laced many Reggae and Ragga artists like

Supercat
Born Jamericans
Mega Banton
Patra
Shabba Ranks
Kymani Marley
Worl-A-Girl
Beenie Man and many Pop & R & B artists as well,(including Joss Stone and Amy Winehouse) he is still going strong today...but as this blog focuses on the older days, I have put together a little compilation together of dope Salaam Remi remixes and joints he produced.

Salaam Remi, really is a jack of all music trades and his production is fat, he used quite a few breaks and samples/loops long before other producers as well, his resume is lengthy and incredible, so from myself and Cold Rock Da Spot...Respect Salaam.

Back To 1994...Volume 2

First up troopers, I just want you to all know that the comments and the e-mails I have been receiving about Cold Rock Da Spot and it's posts have been staggering and the feedback is very much appreciated.

So let's get back to 1994, now after wading through well over 300 songs in the past few weeks, I actually think 94 was better than 1992, there were just so many dope styles and so many great records and albums released that year, that still hold up strong today and leave a lot of today's material in the dust (speaking of today's material, make sure you check for the free mixtape http://www.fatbeats.com/blackmilkpressuremixcd of Detroit's Black Milk's dope material...this is a kid that is a clear disciple of the late great J-Dilla (hard to believe it has been a year since he left this World) and keeps the sample and beat digging in effect).

Okay,1994...what else can I tell you?...Bomb Hip Hop released the very dope Bomb Hip-Hop Compilation, which featured Jigmastas (yes wayback in 1994,Charizma (RIP), The Dereliks,(what the hell were g'nu's?) Mental Prizm, Blackalicious,Homeliss Derelix and many others (a few are included on Back To 1994...Volume 2) and we also had the birth of Project Blowed who dropped the way ahead of it's time Project Blowed compilation in 1994 (not 1995 like some online stores say) and included Aceyalone,Abstract Rude, C.V.E., Freestyle Fellowship and many others holding it down for the West Coast underground.

Keep in mind that with these comps, I am trying to stay away from the obvious candidates (Nas, Gravediggaz, Gangstarr album tracks etc) and this is more about the slept on joints or remixes of that year and I don't doubt that you may have or heard all of these but if not then my job is done and as always enjoy...salute
