Nothing but props, this is the way I want to see shit go down. You want a statement? Let me guess: WE DON'T NEED NO OUTSIDERS. |

JazzCrimes.01 - Papiere versie van .nl
Aan het succes en het aantal advertenies is af te lezen dat ze de juiste richting zijn ingeslagen. Zullen zij slagen waar Black Magic, Magic Sounds, Basic Black, KnoW Color, BumRush, The Buzz, ART12, Uptown en anderen strandden? |

Master Surreal - Evolution
"You can't stop the unstoppable/expect the unexpected/We can change the future/but the past remains protected/And referred to/as written in stone/hold your own/Fuck the status quo/Eye know/it's all evolution…" |

Moonrocks - Europe 2000 Starters Pack

Seda - Rampbreakz Vol.1
“Tripple X is how I rate” is a phat track including Def P rhyming in English. And totally blown away by the massive good
mixing. Damn!. |
April.24.01 |
Def P - Het Ware Verhaal
Willem Davids tells the story and Def P raps the story. Music was composed by Warlock. The concept is this: a journey how humanity and civilization
began and probably will end. |

Bluf Technici - Haagse Bluf
“Dit zijn de spelregels die je hebt in het spel/Ik geef niet op
voordat ik heb wat ik wil/Niemand begrijpt mijn visie/de enige
ambitie is te leven voor mijn passie.” |

The Proov - Traditions
The live act was borring and the album is borring. And that is
sad and it’s a damn shame because the content is and the artists
are very good. |
April.11.01 |
Legal Offence - Eastbound
All tracks are different by style and beats, but still got the image of Legal Offence, a fact that proves you do you thing seriously. One of the most bangin track on the album is "The Posse"… we never separate… where Basic, Decoy and Sixar explains how the crew is that close together. |
April.11.01 |
Frank Nitty - For You Lissenaz Speakers Corner Pt. One
Franklin comes with 12 tracks on a short tape, featuring Gumshoe, AlfoBetIC, Sawndra and Brass. From the south he's representing Holland to the fullest. He works with DJ S-Dub and Rachi. But he is one mans band, independents day. |

Ilja van Dalen - In Holland Staat Een Piece
It's there: the first real book about Dutch graffiti! Kind of unexpected I. Van Dalen hit the bookstores with a compilation of graffiti flicks from all over Holland (1985-2000). Only flicks, no text. |
Feb.25.01 |
730 Michell - The summer of the crack rock
It's nice to hear an album on which the intro introduces the artist, their vision and what they stand for. It already sets the tone for the CD on which they easily make clear what they are trying to do in this world we call HipHop, they are putting down a journal. |
Feb.18.01 |
Postmen - Revival: The luggage has changed, the travel remains.
Revival took a long time to get on the streets, as it proves to be a case of survival. Negativity got them on the barrel armed with politics and bullshit. They will rise as their messages are positive and they’re armed with massive music. |

Black Panther Party [RECONSIDERED]
“We are not a black racist organization, not a racist organization at all. We understand where racism comes from. Our minister of Defens has taught us to understand that we opose all kinds of racism.” Or in more simple words, Newton remarked that: “We don’t hate white people; we hate the oppressor. And if the oppressor happens to be white then we hate him.” |

At the beginning of a new millennium, young people have grown tired of an industry long dominated by redundant instrumental and empty words of glamour and guns. This new generation of free and universal thinkers are expressing more and more their need for variety and individuality. |

De Posse - deel 5
De meest succesvolle compilation serie in HipHop Nederland is toch wel 'De Posse' serie van het Eindhovense DJAX label. Steeds weer zijn er genoeg aanmeldingen om een selectie uit te maken om weer een CD uit te brengen. Ze geven een goed overzicht van wat er in de huiskamers, slaapkamers en op de straathoeken gebeurt in de Benelux. |

De derde en laatste single van het Seriewoordenaar album gaat onder de naam Alo, Wa!. Momenteel zijn de jongens al druk bezig met een nieuw album. Maar deze laatste single van het album is een vrolijk gebeuren ondanks dat Quinte zichzelf zeer kritisch omschrijft. |

Shockwave - Ya Heard A Him and This Generation
Shockwave used to be one of Zombi Squad's leading MC's. Zombi Squad's a group that used to rock stages in the mid 90's with no delay.

They put their headz together and the idea of a solo 12" was born... |

Brainpower - Door Merg En Brain
This track's supposed to be a track on the expected Brainpower album. It's kinda funky to hear Too Tall say this is Brain's LP when it's a 12" but all this has to do with the LP thing. The recordings of the album have been finished, so now we're all waiting for the release... |

Pier % DJ Sandman: Echte Boter (Real Butter)
The track Zet Je Naald… (Put Your Needle…) jumps out. This track is recorded live and amazingly captures the power of the moment when it was recorded. It makes the E.P. real nice.

De Gekste N.U.A.
De Gekste N.U.A. dropped their new album on DJAX Records 'Een Demon-struktie' (100% Hollands) and the single from the album Geen Bitches Meer (No More Bitches). Das de Rijmmaniak, Quick and Extreme from Amsterdam are the craziest. |

There are 16 tracks on the album, including one ghost track are, all totally different. Subjects like graffiti, love, and style discussed. One track you must hear called Bloed, Zweet en Treinen |

with her spaceship Evoluon on planet Earth, eleven years ago. The ship was camouflaged as a museum for new
and fresh shit. This soldier started to grow and became a leader
in the fight. Now eleven years later she owns one of the world’s
strongest independent rebel bases: DJAX Records… |

Pirate Fucking Radio 100
The punk-turned-turntable provocateur Billy Jam kinda end his shinning career as a college radio with a bang.
And that bang was the start of his mission for free radio. "In 1994, I got an advance release of Public Enemy’s new album
‘Muse Sick-N-Hour Message’ which I played in its entirely on KUSF
without bleeping out all the curses." He says. Oops end of the show. |

This Is What You Want pt. 2!
O.K. the girlie is used for one reason only: to get more attention
to boost more sales. See them see the album and taking it home.
But they could have put a little bit more fantasy and work in
it. Right now it's only some nice ass without any extra communication.
For your soul relation’s product kinda soulless and boring. |

N(-obody) Climax Orgasmo:
Compaired it with Dr. Octagon at the first time I listened to the tape, but you can't compare, it's totally different. The beats are out of line, even the rhymes don't fit into a shape but are that shapely, yes the production is very good. |

DJ Edzon: B.Boy Connections Amsterdam 6
Flippin' it to the b- side a sophisticated woman talks about her favourite music. "Rap muziek, dat vind ik toch zo verschrikkelijk, en dan keihard.... bonkende muziek met van die woedende negers, zoals je ze in de Bronx hoort..". Like KRS One, perfectly chosen with Break The Chain |

DMX
Looks like someone was in a hurry. Sales were and still are good.
But is it good? Like D’Angelo states in an interview in ‘Nieuwe Revu’: "It took my whole live to make my debut album Things need time to mature. Maybe it’s the thought of recording
as much as possible before his lord takes him away from this planet. |
