JOSE S. GUTIERREZ: LIVE FROM I-5: HIP-HOP IN THE 253 >>>
I had a chance to rummage through my tapes, vinyl and CDs for this week’s Most Valuables segment of The 25360. Two singles that surely sparked the minds of MCs and hip-hop heads overall were bangin’ through speakers in 1995 and 1996 respectively. When you are ready for a slap, look for Nine’s “Whutcha Want†and Smooth Da Hustlers “Broken English.†Each of these tracks embodies what an MC is! Nine attacks his track with an uncanny flow, a voice that is still unmatched (yet almost paralleled by Mr. Meth’s) and lyrics that invite listeners to join his catchy hook. This one is perfect for the speakers and summer jeeps. Smooth Da Hustler kills “Broken English†and this one is more for those who love lyrics and wordplay than beats, although the beat is a simply murderous piano riff. The voice, the lyricism and the timeliness of the track is unforgettable.
Check out my column this week on the Weekly Volcano Web site, which includes a little something on the Fresh Blends MC Battle Feb. 4 at Hell’s Kitchen in Tacoma.
