Album History –Wu Tang Clan : Enter the 36 Chambers is an album that was made in 1993, and is about 60 mins long. Its an East Coast Hardcore Hip Hop album, whose title was inspired by a cult classic Kung Fu movie called The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (which I believe was made in 1978 or 77). The album was the debut album of Wu Tang clan (another name inspired by Kung Fu movie genre) and re-invigorated East Coast Hip Hop (especially New York). Personal: This album changed Absolute Zero‘s perspective on Hip Hop music and made him appreciate and admire the genre. Leading him to develop into the artist he is today. – Artist on the this album are –
Classic Hip-Hop Review – Kanye West – Graduation Classic Hip-Hop Review with myself and Black Tarzan of Loser Lab.

Beanie Sigel vs Meek Mill a quick and general context Beanie Sigel is a Philadelphia Hip Hop legend (new legend) who has entered into a surfaced beef with Rapper Meek Mill. There is alot going on in this beef, making it more complicated than it should be. My focus here is to quickly provide context and not spend too much time going over every detail that happens or lead up to this feud (complex develop, simple solutions). Rapper Meek Mill entered a feud with another rapper named The Game. This rap beef was by The Game‘s account meant to be a lyrical one with just a one on one physical battle (a boxing match, fade, fisty cuffs, etc). This allegedly started over Meek Mill informing Sean Kingston about the robbery of his personal items (his jewelry got taken and he was assaulted from the back). The Game considers this snitching and he informs us over the internet the basic run down. He told Meek Mill information about the robbery that was going down, a heads up to stay clear. Meek Mill then supposedly went and told Sean Kingston which lead to the police questioning The Game Read More…
Beanie Sigel’s “I’m Coming“ A diss song from Philadelphia Hip Hop legend Beanie Sigel, aimed at Meek Mill. The song was given weight by Meek Mill‘s crew sucker punching Beanie Sigel in the face at an event. Alot more can be said on this but you can find out more from Music Talks: Quick context for Beanie Sigel Vs Meek Mill Feud (Rj Context). -I state my feelings about this song in a track review, that I will probably be updating periodically (Music Thoughts: Beanie Sigel’s I’m Coming (Track Review) ). The lyrics for this song I got from Genuis.com. If you want to know the lyrics to a song, go their and you can probably find it. Lyrics
Absolute Zero: Zero (Music Video) This is my title track form my self titled album “Zero“. This dark track sets the tone and the mood of the album. I was able to work with Dom on the music video. Its a very simple concept, but I really enjoy the way this came out. I’m not an visual artist, but it always amazes me the what people can draw. [Verse 1: Zero] Absolute Zero, no metaphors this time. I’m a absolute zero Ever met a nigga who this lame deranged insane with brains and pain at the same time Never knew another mother fucker who is this real Standing out like a skinhead up in Is-rael All time loser jobber of the year niggas saying I’m lame and bitches saying I’m queer It’s the loser saying fuck you if you don’t know Pro bono might just teach a lesson to you broke hoes Catch me on the low filming low budget pornos Not gay for the green might fuck bro I don’t give a fuck though even if you hate me Middle finger to the deity that make me Made me maybe nigga you crazy Get in line lynch mob Read More…
Follow Righteous Rod Alright I’m going to take this moment to talk about Righteous Rod. I first met Righteous Rod at the Hip Hop For Flint Charity Concert. The dude was really energetic and really enthused about his set. I have to say he gave an amazing performance. This is especially true, given the fact that there were technical difficulties at the event. This prevented the music from playing properly while he was performing. The dude still killed it, energetic and keyed into his performance. I ended up listening to Rod’s music on soundcloud, and I was really impressed by what I heard. What impressed me about him the most is how many different styles the guy raps in. I myself like changing up my flow and cadence, so I really give out props to other artist for being able to do that. I really do like that the songs I’ve heard from him so far.
Follow Paradox Follow Paradox This is Paradox, I first got introduced to this artist at Props and Bonds Saturday Mic Live. I liked his performances, hopefully I will be able to see him again. So in honor of Joel, Paradox had to make the list esp for artist that came through the door of Catalyst Hip Hop (since I have started going regular). If you like this song then support Paradox, he’s a pretty good artist and this song is very good. Its a song that will probably stay in my personal playlist. So hopefully this will help it make it to yours.
Follow Silenthand Ent Follow Silenthand Ent This is Silenthand Ent, an awesome group that definitely have great range. This song and video are really good for me, in my personal queue. I like songs and or videos with internal narratives and this hit that mark. Honestly, I was surprised by the video. You can check these guys out at Catalyst Hip Hop Miami, also follow and support Props and Bonds. They do alot more so support if you enjoy anything you have seen.
Follow Tribe Called Quest A Tribe Called Quest A Tribe Called Quest is one of the most influential and legendary groups in Hip Hop. There music has effected a large amount of people. Showed us directions we can take Hip Hop music, while being successful. Reminding us that this is an art form, not science product. I don’t think they get thanked enough but thanks.
Follow Silent Hand EntFollow Silent hand Ent I honestly love this song but even better than this song is the two people MCs you hear putting it down on the mic. Really Talented host, they do it very big at every Props and Bonds event.
Follow Mr. Alexis Banf Camp (Album Symmetry) This is Mr. Alexis, an amazing artisan and craftsman. I sincerely say this because that is the level and focus I believe he takes when creating beats. I have had the pleasure to met him in person.
I have a list of ten songs that I currently listen to alot. I play these songs on loop while I work or am detoxing form powerful emotions. These songs have no current order of importance, as I am tired and judging that way would be hard (I have a hard time picking favorites). So I am going to list number one and bonus. # 1 BØRNS | “Past Lives” (Audio) | Interscope Past lives from BORNS , started this for me in recent memory. I really was very tired and I heard this song on a commercial. I searched hard for it and then discovered it. Man it was a good song. I really only listened to like 1, 000 times. Later, I ventured out and started out to listen to their other songs. Now, BORNS has made it to my core band listen circle. I really like this song, it was pleasing to see so many people came to love the song and the band same way I did. # 2
Its your boy Absolute Zero, Defender of the Universe, and I’m back to talk about Kooley4rmTheAve. I first met this artist at the Hip-Hop For Flint Charity Concert. That night I saw Kooley come in and perform a very live set. Kooley came in and delivered really dope bars over amazing beats. He was really energetic in his performance and his songs sounded really good. His performance was tight and really got me interested in his music. When I made it around to checking Kooley’s soundcloud, I was very impressed with what I found there. The only problem I have with Kooley’s soundcloud is, that he only has two songs. This appears to be all the music Kooley has released so far. I can’t hold this against Kooley too much because the two songs he does have uploaded are amazing. The first song I heard from Kooley is a song called “High Love”. Here we see Kooley delivering a heavily autotuned rap verse. I don’t listen to a lot of autotune music, but Kooley pulls it off so well the song just flows. The song features a smooth female vocal feature on the hook. This Read More…
