Hip-Hop (Classic): Goodie Mob – Soul Food…
Here’s a classic hip-hop joint from the dirty South’s own Goodie Mob called Soul Food. Straight up dope from 1996. Remember this shiz?!
There’s been talk for at least a couple of years now about the reunion of the Goodie Mob, and although they have performed together in the past couple of years, there’s still no sign of a new album. My honest opinion though, is that folks shouldn’t expect a miracle album from this reunion. Although they’ve got the potential to produce timeless joints (proof above), I’d have to say that all the members have been releasing tracks that are steps down from the original ‘Soul Food’ album. That’s not to say that there haven’t been any bangers, but I’m not holding my breath that a new album will bring the ruckus like back in the day.

Hip-Hop: Afu-Ra Ft. Cocoa Brovaz and Jahdan – D&D Soundclash…
I posted up a track featuring Jahdan yesterday and it reminded me of this vinyl 12″ that I spun the shit out of back in the day. The thing was, I had no idea who exactly was on the vinyl because it was a white jacket and almost white label (meaning no information as far as artist, song title, record label, etc.). All it showed was a dude doing a flying kung fu kick…
Anyway, quite a while went by before I finally found out it was: “Afu-Ra Ft. Cocoa Brovaz and Jahdan – D&D Soundclash” (year: 1999). Jahdan was ‘the reggae dude’ that I had been trying to figure out. Anyway…dope track. Still holds up after all this time.

Another classic hip-hop joint from the 1990′s:
I remember when I first saw this video way back then. I was a hardcore writer and this shit was crazy inspiration. Folks were like, “Finally, some hip-hop that is speaking specifically to us writers.” I’m pretty sure I went out immediately after seeing it…hehehe.

Info: The Artifacts are a throwback hip-hop duo from Newark, NJ. Their music reflects and emphasizes three of the four elements of true hip-hop culture: MCing, DJing, and their specialty, graffiti writing or “bombing”; both Tame One and El the Sensei are proficient at all three. With unique styles that play off each other well, Tame and El’s graf-rap was well-received by underground audiences and continued in the Jersey rap tradition of Redman and Lords of the Underground. The crew scored an underground classic with their debut single in 1994, “Wrong Side of The Tracks,” serving notice to their graffiti bombing missions and their Jersey heritage. The debut album, Between a Rock and a Hard Place, followed soon afterward. Tight, funky production provided the duo’s B-boy stance the chance to take shape. Although it contained more of the same, the 1996 follow-up album, The Art of Facts, was not nearly as successful critically, getting lost amid the burgeoning kingpin gangster attitude of Jay-Z and Nas. The Artifacts were hard-nosed backpack hip-hoppers in the halcyon days of hip-hop’s golden age revisited, before hip-hop’s mainstream explosion and the elevating gangster hardcore style that led to the violent deaths of Tupac Shakir and Notorious B.I.G. The duo split in 1997 and now release singles as solo artists.
