The Real Reason Gang Starr Broke-Up?
Wednesday, January 11th, 20122Pac – NY ’87 feat. Kurupt, Threat & Daz (Jeru, B.I.G., Mobb Deep, ATCQ diss)
Tuesday, June 28th, 2011
A bunch of disses on this thing. Did anyone know about this track? Channel Live, Jeru The Damaja, Notorious B.I.G., Mobb Deep, Tragedy Khadafi, and A Tribe Called Quest all get called out on this one. I can honestly say this is the first time I’m hearing this track and knew nothing about it prior to Magneto dropping it on Philaflava.

Does anyone like Part III? Is that an official sequel? Who decides such things? The Borough President?
Why did Jeru stop rapping like that?
Did Barbara Walters ever respond to Chubb Rock’s dis?
Was hot peas and butter a harmless urban pastime or ritualized violence?

Awesome 2 “Studio Record Freestyles (1996)â€
Monday, September 20th, 2010
This is another piece of audio that I received back in my trading days. I never did any research on it until now. Released in 1996 on vinyl, it features 6 nice studio recorded freestyles done for the Awesome 2, which is the legendary team Special K and Teddy Ted. It’s tough finding much info on these two as their website has been suspended (relaunching in 2010), but you can find them on MySpace.
01 Chubb Rock
02 M.O.P.
03 Jeru The Damaja & Afu Ra
04 Channel Live
05 Busta Rhymes & Rampage
06 Das EFX
Here’s a vinyl rip of Awesome 2′s “Ahooga Breakbeats” that Thomas V put up last year.
Once all the ads and videos load, you can score an Awesome 2 radio show from 1990 RIGHT HERE on DJ Marioka’s blog.
enjoy,

Great Introductions
Monday, August 31st, 2009One of the greatest things about music is discovering new artists. Whether it’s the case today, years ago hip-hop was always about helpin’ others get on. There was a certain element in the music was more authentic. The chemistry was real and more importantly rappers were motivated by their competitive nature, not potential endorsements. There are tons of memorable debuts such as AZ on “Life’s A Bitch,” Jay-Z on “Hawaiian Sophie” or 2Pac on D.U.’s “Same Song.” For some, careers were made on just one verse.
Below are 7 phenomenal debuts that some might argue contain the greatest ever. We’re asking our T.R.O.Y. readers to let us know which debut you feel is the greatest of all-time. You can post your comments as well as vote on which debut from the videos below you feel is the best. –Philaflava

DJ Premier WBLS Thunderstorm Vol.1
Thursday, April 16th, 2009
Before Sirius Satellite Radio, New York Reality Check 101, Crooklyn Cuts Mixtape… Around the time of Hard To Earn, DJ Premier was mixing in live on WBLS. He would air every friday nights playing the dopest records that were out as well as dropping exclusives.
Recently, a Japanese website started selling cd-r’s of original recordings of the show ranging from a collection of 6 volumes. The quality of the shows were top notch and rips started to hit up the T.R.O.Y. forums. Five of the volumes were ripped by serch4beatz while the only one missing came out to be vol.1. Two Months after the original post, T.R.O.Y. member Illest came through and uploaded vol.1.
Below you find all the tracks that DJ Premier mixed during the first session. The date is 3/04/1994.
