DJ KOOL BREEZ – BREAKS, BEATS & BULLSHIT

he’s giving away sooo many beats. he’s not just chasing samples already used. big respect is automatic, and i will keep passing on this info for all my beat people out there.”sample anything you want”..this dude is legend.

i’m gonna bring you this series from the start

“to burn my kush you must use fire”

nice lil nod to run dmc there..he has indeed fucked around and gone back to classic snoop, copped a serious beat and got a niiice co-sign from jibril himself.

smoke suttin’, it’s a beautiful day out there..

No Doc, no diagnosis..!!NEW 50 CENTS!!

shit, man, 50 is back..at his murderous best on these new freestyles he’s putting out..so, post-modern, that he’s promoting headphones with songs about murder…this is how it is now?

As Westwood used to say “let’s take it from the break to the beat…”

and have something really BOOM>

how come no-one ever got at sting for the fake jamaican accent on “walkin’ on di moon”?cos the po-lice(even more frustration for the black man) were dope.wiggers with attitude, and a dope drummer, in stuart copeland. no relation to devin..seems they inspired someone, though..
