This mixtape, made as a protest to police brutality, got a very dope review in the Elemental Mag with MF Doom's facemask ... Special thanks to DJ Counterstryke for recording this one in his studio ...

1. N.W.A. - SaPrize (Part 2) prod. by Dr.Dre (Ruthless)
No Matter how much time Dr.Dre wastes making rap music, pimping Eminem, biting and recycling himself and the whole Chronic, G-Funk style and sound, you can never take away what he did for the evolution of producing Hiphop music, or what N.W.A. did for police brutality awareness…
2. Poor Righteous Teachers - Dreadful Day prod. by Clark Kent (Profile)
This song and the album, The New World Order, are as slept-on as it gets... I could not believe how hard and fresh PRT came back, or how hard fools slept...
3. Cypress Hill - Pigs prod. by Muggs (Columbia/Ruffhouse)
This is the first song on the timeless, classic first Cypress Hill LP... Oh, how I miss this Cypress Hill...
4. Compton's Most Wanted-One Time Gaffled Em’Up prod.by UnKnown&DJ Slip (Orpheus)
Whoever was responsible for the fresh quality of CMW's first three LP's... Please stand up, identify yourself, and give me a call... I just basically wish I could ask you to do it one more time for us, please???
5. 50/50 - Hamburger Hill prod. by Marley Marl (R2 Records)
I'll never forget the first time I heard this song on the Wake Up's Pirate Radio with Pete Rock and Marley Marl, back when the Wake Up Show was at least still fresh sometimes... Marley's production and the rhymes like "...Took the case to trial. The verdict, not Guilty. The cops more than dirty, the fuckin' cop's filthy..." The rawness, blew my mind that night...
6. Yo-Yo - Letter To The Pen prod. by ??? (Street Knowledge) (East/West)
One of several Yo-Yo joints from her few LP's that were shamelessly overlooked by DJ's... I am proud of this mix and very relieved to finally make this song available to you again... This is gangsta Hiphop...
7. Capone-N-Noreaga - Parole Violators prod.by Tragedy (Penalty)
Heavily slept-on by sucker DJ’s, this joint was the dopest cut on CNN’s first LP, The War Report… Right before Nore was swallowed up by the industry…
8. School Of Hard Knocks-Road To The Precinct prod.by The SpearChuckers (Wild Pitch)
Don't be a sucker DJ, and think you know all you need to know to be a good Hiphop DJ, without doing the knowledge and learning the music history of Hiphop's forgotten past classic record makers, like this group...
9. Dr.Dre - The Day The Niggaz Took Over prod. by Dr.Dre (Interscope)
....Please!? Dre? Make some more classic Hiphop records... Please!?...
10. Wise Intelligent - Freestyle (A Conscious Lyric) prod. by 6-19 for SlangSpit (Profile)
Wise and PRT carried the torch into the late 90’s for PE, BDP, The Native Tongues and X Clan, leaving the fake-ass hip-hop industry, 'keep it real', so-called 'underground' gimmick in the dust...
11. Get The Fist Movement - Get The Fist prod. by DJ Pooh (Polygram/DaBomb)
King Tee, Yo-Yo, MC Eight, B Real, JD, Kam, Threat and Ice Cube collaborated on this song to protest against police brutality, in the same fashion that the Self-Destruction Movement addressed 'black-on-black" crime... And this contribution to the artform is every bit as significant, important and fresh!…
12. Main Source - Just A Friendly Game Of Baseball (fresh remix) prod. by ??? (Wild Pitch)
This remix just came out on the double-vinyl repress of Main Source's classic debut LP, Breaking Atoms...
13. Showbiz & A.G. - Ain't No Fun prod. by Showbiz (white label)
'You can only be as good as the best...'
Only the first verse was relative to the subject matter of police, so if you want a dub of this whole song, hit me up... I heard A.G. and Showbiz ain’t working together, or even getting along, right now… If that’s true, that’s wack!…
14. Ed O.G.&DaBulldogs f/Ace&Quan and Def Jeff prod.by TeddyTed,Special K&Joe Mansfield (Polygram)
Two real living legends, Boston's Ed O.G., and LA's Def Jeff... 'What could be better...?'
15. Mobb Deep - Cop Hell (Primo RMX) (Noo Trybe)
On their first LP. Juvenile Hell, Mobb Deep produced only two songs, and they were the only two tracks I really liked a lot on it, Hit It From The Back & Hold Down The Fort… until Primo remixed this track…
16. Tim Dog - If I Was A Cop prod. by Tim Dog (Columbia/Ruffhouse)
This song makes me crack up everytime Tim Dog says that if he was a cop he'd 'take from you. You and you, and you and you, and you!' He's a great example of why I don't think you have to be a great 'lyricist' to be a good MC or to make great songs. Your style must be an efforless manifestation of your soul, not a staged, theatrical, effort... And I like sassy, smart elic MC's like Tim, Milk D, Lyte, Shante, etc....
17. X-Clan - F.T.P. prod. by Jason Hunter, L.Robert Carson & Claude Gray (Polydor)
With X-Clan, it didn't matter if the concept or the beat wasn't always original, they always had a way of being, staying and making it fresh anyway...
18. Jeru The Damaja - Invasion prod. by Primo (Payday)
Primo used to produce Jeru and Group Home's shit for free! And they skipped camp? Proof that people are not nearly as smart and intelligent as we think we are...
19. Pharcyde - Officer prod. by J Swift (Delicious Vinyl)
I just graduated high school when this song came out, and we all could relate in a major way to this crazy funny, stupid-fresh song... Like so many others, too bad Pharcyde couldn't stay fresh like they used to be... Hiphop, I think of as, the art of being and staying fresh...
20. Ice Cube - The Bomb prod. by Sir Jinx and The Bomb Squad (Ruthless)
My favorite song from Cube's classic first solo LP. Damnit, I would love to see Cube perform the first two LP's and the EP, live. Everybody tells me that he won't do it. That sucks, like everything he's put out since Death Certificate...
21. Dead Prez - Dem Crazy prod. Rook&Marc Batson (EMI/Loud)
This Dead Prez joint was one of a couple dope joints from the 'Black&White' soundtrack... This is a special request by my bro Med over at the ThaFormula.com...
