THIS JUST IN:

Kendrick Lamar has been nominated as 2024 Playa' Hater of the Year after not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 career-ending diss tracks against hip hop's lamest, softest "super" star. Not even Buc Nasty holds a candle to this man's hating capabilities.

California Hip Hop Playlist (YouTube)

This ain’t your typical Cali rap classics playlist, folks. No N.W.A, no Ice Cube, no Dr. Dre, no Snoop Dogg, no 2Pac, and not most of your more popular underground-ish crews either, like Hieroglyphics, Souls of Mischief, or Pharcyde. Simply put, I didn’t come here to give you what you might already know; I came here to drop some obscure and ephemeral Cali-made gold on all your asses: a series of L.A. and Bay Area boom bap raps with hard-knocking, head-nod-inducing beats, along with some exquisite turntablism excursions too. I’m talking Soul Father Rasco, Evidence, Planet Asia, Visionaries, Lootpack, Insane Poetry, DJ Babu, KutMasta Kurt, and Rakaa-Iriscience, to name just a few.

And those are actually just the more popular underground names that appear on this thing, because I’ve got even more cool obscure shit from acts you’re even less likely to have ever heard of too, like Double Life, who appear to have been doing lo-fi hip hop before it became cool to study to; Izm da Mad Soul, who’s on some lyrically dense and dark, abstract shit; and Sacred Hoop, whose lighthearted, seven-minute, multi-beat, “Not Our House,” could’ve easily appeared on a Tony Hawk soundtrack. Plus, rare versions of songs that seem to have only appeared exclusively on mixtapes and nowhere else.

But before you start to dive into all of that goodness, things actually kick off in a bit of an unorthodox fashion, with some late 80s left-wing manifesto alt-industrial hip hop from a little trio called Consolidated, who were birthed from the only place that such a type of music could’ve ever come from at that time: San Francisco. Then after that comes all the boom bap and cuts n’ scratches 😎.

This playlist is ordered as chronologically as possible and links are provided below to songs that have been posted about previously in order to give them more context:

Consolidated - “Consolidated (Adorno Strength mix)” Rasco & Kutmasta Kurt - “Me & My Crew” Rasco feat. Defari & Evidence - “Major League (M-Boogie Remix)” Rasco - “Cordless Mics” The Visionaries - “Blessings” Double Life feat. Raw B - “Cycles of the Mind” Izm da Mad Soul - “Maintaining Izmatic Degrees” Live Human - “Almost Live” Sacred Hoop feat. DJ Marz & Z-Man - “Not Our House” DJ Badrok - “1-800-Coming Correct” Apollo, Vinroc, Shortkut & Richness - “Live at Cue’s” Rakaa feat. DJ Babu - “On Deadly Ground” Joey Chavez feat. Evidence - “Reservation for One” Kutmasta Kurt feat. Master of Illusion & Motion Man - “Magnum Be I” Planet Asia feat. 427 - “Bringin’ It Back (M-Boogie Alternative Version)” DJ Dusk - “Meditation, Part 1″ Lootpack - “Weededed” Babu - “I’ve Always Wanted to Be a DJ” Insane Poetry feat. DJ Melo-D - “Lyrical Catacombs”

Playlist is also on YouTube Music.

"INSTEAD OF LOSING CONTROL OF THE PARTY, THOUGH, FUNKDOOBIEST REMAINS ON TOP THROUGHOUT..."

PIC INFO: Spotlight on a print advert and/or record advert for "The Troubleshooters," the third full-length album by L.A.-based Latin/alternative hip-hop group FUNKDOOBIEST, released under the RCA label in early 1998. The advert was featured in the January '98 issue of "Rap Pages" magazine.

ALBUM OVERVIEW: "There’s something very fresh sounding on “Troubleshooters,” the third album by L.A.’s FUNKDOOBIEST. It could be the relative lack of filler and the DJ Ralph M.’s original approach to samples. The mad, driving swing of the Squirrel Nut Zipper’s “Hell” drives the first single, “Papi Chulo.” They twist around some verses to suit their own purposes on oldies like Bill Withers’ “Just the Two of Us” (to “just Funkdoobiest”) and Diana Ross’ “Theme From Mahogany” (“Doobie knows where you’re going to”).

They bring back the catchy beat and sped-up vocals of Newcleus’ “Jam on It” on the remake “Act on It.” But instead of borrowing the familiar hook from the Tom Tom Club’s “Genius of Love,” they cop its central question: “Whatcha gonna do when you get out of jail?”

The delivery of rapper Sondoobie has a familiar ring — that high, whiny New York wiseacre squawk often associated with CYPRESS HILL. Yet he’s changing the voice a bit too, slowing it down with a deeper voice on a few tracks, yet still switching effortlessly from English to Spanish and back.

There are a lot of voices on “Troubleshooters” though, including Daz from Tha Dogg Pound on “Papi Chulo,” and Hitman, Hurricane G, Tony Touch, MC Fats, and a handful of others.

Instead of losing control of the party, though, Funkdoobiest remains on top throughout “Troubleshooters,” making it the sharpest rap release of the year yet."

-- HARTFORD COURANT, review for FUNKDOOBIEST's "Troubleshooters" (1998) album, published February 12, 1998

JPThaRuler Returns: Unleashing 'Cloccer' and Taking His Throne in L.A.

youtube

After a prolonged absence from the music scene, Long Beach rapper JPThaRuler is back with a bang, marking his return with the much-anticipated release of his latest music video, "Cloccer." This comeback signifies more than just a return to the studio; it's a reclaiming of his spot in the vibrant landscape of L.A. Rap.

The Hiatus: JPThaRuler's hiatus wasn't by choice but a result of navigating legal challenges and patiently awaiting the opportune moment for his resurgence. This period, though challenging, served as a cocoon for artistic evolution, setting the stage for a phoenix-like return.

The Comeback Single: "Cloccer": "Cloccer" isn't just a track; it's a statement. The title itself suggests a meticulous observation of time, as JPThaRuler makes it clear that he's been keeping a close eye on the game. The music video serves as a visual testament to his unique style and the narrative he's weaving into the L.A. rap scene.

"One of One" Rap Style: JPThaRuler proudly boasts a rap style he dubs "One of One," signifying his commitment to authenticity and originality. In a world saturated with trends and imitations, JPThaRuler stands out by staying true to himself and his distinctive artistry.

The Long Beach Legacy: Long Beach has birthed legends in the rap game, and JPThaRuler is poised to add his chapter to this legacy. With a style that reflects the diversity and grit of his hometown, JPThaRuler's "Cloccer" is more than a song; it's a sonic embodiment of Long Beach's spirit.

Taking His Rightful Place: For JPThaRuler, the hiatus wasn't a setback; it was a setup. The stage is now set for him to take his rightful place among L.A.'s rap peers. "Cloccer" is the announcement of his return, and it's clear that he's not here to follow trends but to set his own.

Conclusion: JPThaRuler's "Cloccer" isn't just a music video; it's a testament to resilience, authenticity, and the unwavering spirit of a rapper who's ready to reclaim his throne. As the track reverberates through the streets of Long Beach and beyond, JPThaRuler's return is marked with a promise — a promise of a rap journey that's "One of One" and uniquely his own.
