Tribute To Gangstarr's Guru

If youre a hardcore fan of hip hop or have any solid knowledge on the history of hip hop, then theres a good chance that you were a fan of Guru of the legendary group Gangstarr. Sadly, Guru passed away yesterday as a result of cancer complications. Hip hop has lost another great musician and contributor. Our condolences go out to Guru's family and close friends.

As a way to pay homage to Guru, Mailmaxx decided to spit some bars over one of Gangstarr's classics. Listen below and celebrate Guru's legacy.

An Ode To America?

So basically this is a song that I did for my friend Taylor to help out with one of his classes last semester. He asked me to do some political, social change, struggle type of sheeit. The beat was made by John Lawyer, who actually is a good producer and a friend as well. I ended up having to record up here in the dorm, so it's not HQ but it's good enough. It was kind of a last minute thing, but nonetheless I got it done. And here's the outcome.

This Is How We Chill

It's a beautiful day if you're in Michigan right now. The weather is on some chill, summertime type sheeit, which definitely puts everyone in a good mood. No coats, short sleeve shirts, and the girls even got the booty shorts on! Sheeit, what more could you ask for besides a good ol fashion BBQ and some green tea. If you were thinkin some new material from us, you're in luck.

Today we release a song recorded by Merle Mcfly reminiscing about the good times of 06. Props to all the real hip hop heads that recognize the instrumental he used for this song. It's definitely perfect listening music for a day like this. So get ya green tea, watch those girls walk by outside (or if you’re a girl, watch those guys), and turn this sheeit all the way up!

Caesa aka......DA VINCI!

YEEAAAUUHH!!!! [Caesa finally postin summa his shit himself ): -j~....]

I have an array of mind-sets [so to speak] that I channel to reflect a certain creative mood that I wanna have.

Lyrically:
Caesa - Sadistic Emperor
Fooly Cooly McGhouly - Silly/random muf***a
Poindexter Jester - Intellectual, intricate thinker

There's more characters for different moods/songs and recently I came up with "The Ultraviolet Urban Ranger" [a purple Power Ranger pretty much]. And The "Boogie Man," which was a character I was using in a song on "Things That Go Bump in the Night" but I didn't like the bars anymore so I scrapped 'em.....BUT I kept some sketches of how I envisioned the characters....plus some more random stuff...


The Ultra-Violet Urban Ranger

[Boogie Man what's the plan?]
I'm tossin word sa-lads
Translated in Comic Sans
AMPERSAND, MY....
grammar panorama is the RAWEST of the random
IT IS FLAWLESS
While yo slander
keeps on fallin
WHILE I STAND UP[ONNN]
mountains yellin "OH SUZANNAAAA!!!"
That's one of myyy
mulatto mama jammas
that be cleanin my cabana....
There's a Caucazoid girl....
I forgot da bitch name
but she answer to Cassandra.
Sole purpose of her presence
is for maintenance of my Panda....

NBA 2K11 Producer Contest

Soo...Ea sports and Duck Down Records is having a lil beat competition. The idea is to make an instrumental directed towards the soundtrack of NBA 2k11. Basically the new 2k anthem...Top 10 producers tracks are selected and they recruit 10 rappers to record over those top 10 beats. Top 10 producers, and rappers are sent to NYC to perform LIVE in front of a HUGE audience. Those songs are also added to the NBA 2k11 soundtrack which'll be played throughout the game...With that in mind here's my submission...PLEASE give me your honest opinion because if it's wack I won't send it...PLEASE I know we're all friends here but no pole jockin either yes! Send it or no! try again no in between...It's not my usual style cuz 2k has more mainstream, poppish, wack rap type of music on there...So...hip hop heads dont expect World War III...

It's Been A While, Hasn't It?

We're back in business folks! Sorry for the long hiatus since we debuted Feng Shui. Since releasing the mixtape and hosting the Fade It Beat Competition back in December, we've been busy working on new material which we hope to have released to you soon. We would like to thank those that supported and continue to support Feng Shui. We encourage you to continue to tell people about us, friends, other bloggers, musicians, etc.

As you may or may not know, our producer Buddy has released his beat tape Good Job Bud. The project has been sent to Itunes, Rhapsody, Zune, Amazon, and various other music outlets online and is in the process of being reviewed by music editors. Specifically on Itunes, he will be a featured artist once the editors finish reviewing his work in about 2-4 weeks! We are proud of him and encourage you all to support his work. If you liked the production on Feng Shui (which were all done by him), we guarantee you'll love the production on Good Job Bud.

Besides Buddy's new project, we are still working on our next mixtape. We apologize for the wait, but we assure you that it's coming together pretty well and will be very unique.

Also, remember when we said we would be releasing some visuals for Feng Shui? Well, last week we started shooting the video for "Virtuoflow". Expect to see that in the near future along with other videos for songs.

Once again we apologize for not updating more often, but rest assured, we're back in full effect and will be posting alot more now since we got more things motion. So check here for updates, news, or just pure randomness!
