More Wu VLS

Here's a couple more Wu bangers. Shabazz the Disciple got some decent hype and airplay for his first single,'Death Be the Penalty'(see video below). But not much attention, if any, was paid to his street tale follow up,'Crime Saga'. The intro and interlude, mentioned on the tracklisting here and on the back of the cover, are actually parts of the proceeding tracks on the mp3's.Confusing,I know, I just don't want you to think you're missing something. Check for the sample and video here.

Deadly Darts(bka Box in Hand) is a Ghostface banger, featuring Method Man and Street Life, that might have been left off his Ironman album. Rza goes off on a lyrical gem droppin' tirade on Sunshower, one of my favorite solo Rza cuts.

Fellow Troy poster, STAM, recently uploaded the ODB - Raw Hide vls, so I figured why not bless the blogosphere with that, too. This vinyl also contains the non album cut,Don't You Know Part 2,for you completists out there. STAM also included a real dope and rare Method Man joint called Mr.Meth in that folder. Enjoy.

Sample Compilation 3

Here's some more exceptional rap shit that sampled some exceptional funk, soul, jazz shit. The way Godfather Don flipped the Betty Davis singing was genius. The John Klemmer horns that the SD50's lifted for "Leave Ya With This" are viral,at the least. And Half A Mill(RIP). "Homicide Scene" is probably one of my favorite obscure rap songs of all time. Graphic street drama with a message at it's best. The Roy Ayers song it sampled and the Bohannon song are also remarkable tracks on this comp.

01. Bohannon - Song For My Mother

02. Ed O.G. & Da Bulldogs - I Got To Have It

03. The Robbery And The Chase

04. Shabazz The Disciple - Crime Saga
