Mighty Zulu Kingz vs Skill Methodz Raw Cypha Battle: Check the battle ethics!!

This is from Freestyle Session 11 in 2008, the same Freestyle Session where MZK called out Massive Monkeez in that infamous concrete cypha battle.

Shouts to SKMZ!! I think it was Teknyc from SKMZ that set it off to call out one of the MZK members. I think it was Smurf ...that he called out. Then it became a 3 man battle (Casper, Smurf, Joolz vs Teknyc, Venum, Flipz) with no one else jumped in since none from each side jumped in after that, and let just the 3 from each side continue to battle cuz thats just the rule of engagement. The footage here show like the last 1/2 of the battle if I can remember.

To all BBoys/Girls: Watch and Learn the BATTLE ETHICS by the two crews.

- No shit talking, do the talking on the floor dancing
- No disrespect
- Crew members from both side watching but in battle demeanor mode ready to throw down in case someone else from each side jumps in
- No cheerleading on the sidelines jumping up and down to give props for their crew members even if someone from their crew did some nice rounds.

True class act on how a battle is suppose to be from both crews.

Also, the footage don't show this but when the music stops, the battle stops, and when the music starts again then the battle continue. It went on like this for i think 15-20 minutes. I think this went down during Freestyle Session prelims or top 16. This is only like 1/2 of the battle. I think there were rounds missing from both sides in the beginning of the battle where Teknyc was the first one to set it off.

Take notes...this is an educated post for the future generations on how a battle should be.

Peace to my crew and SKMZ for the inspiration and carrying on tradition on how it should be done!

The Notorious IBE 10th Edition: Holland here I come once again!

I will be flying to Amsterdam tomorrow for IBE. I should be in Amsterdam on Thursday morning, and staying the whole day there on Thursday. On Friday the bus will take all the artists to Heerlen from Amsterdam for the 10th Edition of IBE.

IBE basically an International Hip Hop jam with emphasize on the BBoy element of the Hip Hop Culture. This year will be the 10th Edition. The whole city of Heerlen, Holland turn into a big Hip Hop festival. It's crazy! I got to witness it first hand in 2008 when IBE flew me out as a Judge, and the vibe is unbelievable. I'm sure with it's 10th Edition, it's going to be even crazier! It's on and popping!

Shouts to IBE staff! See all my worldwide BBoys/BGirls there! To all my MZK crew members that are going to be there: let's get it in!!!

David Banner: Death of A Pop Star

Shouts to David Banner to come into realization that he needs to do a 360 on his creativity as an artist in the Hip Hop music industry. He was once one of those so called "Down South" type of rappers that have infested the Hip Hop community with the same equation (money, bitches, hoes, cars etc) that are being played on MTV and BET, or on the radio. Almost all of them all sound the same.

Well David Banner is breaking out of that mold to go back to what he use to be about: a creative Hip Hop emcee.

I salute David Banner for realizing there's more to life than just following the same trend.

I wonder how many of our good down south brothas in the Hip Hop Community are trapped into that mold of the Down South Rappers that the industry have created? I hope they do the same as David Banner soon and not sell themselves out.

"It just seems like we falling into this Matrix type of thinking. Records are not selling anyways, so why not be creative..." - David Banner

His latest work as a true Hip Hop Emcee being in total creative control:

His work when he was part of the so called "Down South Rapper" branding and creative control by the so called Music Industry:

SEE THE DIFFERENCE?!!  DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN THE MATRIX!!

Tupac Shakur: Unconditional Love

 
It's been 14 years since Tupac passed way on Sept 13, 1996.  His voice, and music still resonate today in Hip Hop because his work is timeless.  He speaks from the heart with deep lyrical content, and a true freedom fighter. Many rappers in the game today should look at what Tupac did for his community.  He inspires many to uplift instead of self-destruct. Also he's part of Universal Zulu Nation as well.  A true soldier of his time! He mos def got Unconditional Love for the Community.

Shouts to Tupac.
