Ey yo the bus stops...
Before I bought this one recently I have only found the CD version of this release in a good quality. But what is unsatisfying with the CD version is that there are 2 tracks missing in comparison to the vinyl version. It's "Who Falls Apart?" and its instrumental. In contrary to Bus Stops, Who Falls Apart wasn't on the "World Ultimate" but on the "Sight Of Things" album.
There are also 2 very good remixes of Bus Stops on this record with one of them having an appearance of Aceyalone which is like a short song on its own. For every vocal track there is also an instrumental, so there are 8 tracks on this record with approximately 32 minutes of good music.

Supherb - All Bullshit Aside EP
From Wild West Recordings comes this fine 11 track EP. Wild West Recordings is a subsidiary of American Recordings which was founded by Rick Rubin who also founded Def Jam Recordings and was responsible for some very successful productions. The Nonce who also had some releases on Wild West Recordings produced the tracks "Born On Parole Remix" and "Mr. Hollywood" on this EP. "All Bullshit Aside" and "Any Formz Of Wackness" were produced by A.M. and I can only say that I don't have a clue who that is. The EP only consists of this 4 tracks in their clean, instrumental and with one exception their album versions.
"All Bullshit Aside" has a laid back break-beat with a nice trumpet sample and features Chino XL on the hook while the beat of "Any Formz Of Wackness" adds some tempo and features Real Thorough on the hooks. As you can imagine its about the non-tolerance of wack mcs. "Born On Parole Remix" also features Real Thorough but has a typical laid back Nonce beat while "Mr. Hollywood" has a hard pumping bass which again fits good to the aggressive theme of the track.
I recorded it today from vinyl and did some stuff to make it sound more clean. Hope you enjoy.

Mix by Omid with some tracks of the MC Aces
On the 19th of July 2009 Omid hosted a radio show on KXLU for 3 hours and this is the whole show in one file. It was posted up on Blunt Rapps but the link is down and the post seems to be forgotten.
The interesting thing with this mix is that it contains some tracks from the MC Aces from around 1988 as Omid says. These tracks were recorded before the Freestyle Fellowship existed as we now know it. You know Haiku D'Etats "Mike, Aaron and Eddie"? It's based on the track "Mike, Eric and Eddie", they are Mikah 9, Spoon and Aceyalone.Also there is a cool track with Acey on the hook where he is hella playful and using lines like "let's clap your hands, drop your pants and listen to what I say".
Besides the cool MC Aces stuff there are also some rare tracks from Awol One and the Nonce. Additionally, Los Undergods Mexicanos who are very deep record collectors also provide some interesting tracks.

Hello, this is Nonce again...
Some years ago we laid down some wonderful relaxed beats with keyboard sounds flying over them which built an atmosphere that stays in contrast to the hard truth that we are telling. But don't think the lyrics are unbearable! They are only miles away from the average raps, are raw and reflect the truth. It is like a good wine which needs some time, to get the point where it is coming from. We also have a hidden appearance of an MC we don't even know ourselves, maybe you can help us and find out the name of him.
Thanks for your patience and we hope you will have a positive listening experience...
Classic Material
The mysterious death of Yusef Afloat wasn't the reason that this album is a classic. No, it is the music itself! In the movie "This Is The Life" Medusa tells some really interesting stuff about Yusef. He wanted to practice Hip-Hop "raw" in that way, that he raps naked in front of the audience. For some people it might sound weird but I think that his intention was to tell the truth how life is, by laying the positive and the negative things on the line how they are. On Utube there is an old interview with Sach and Yusef were Yusef isn't saying much but what he is saying makes sense and is straight to the point. R.I.P. Yusef
For a tape rip of Yusef's solo album check Jackdevo
