The Other face of The Foundation; Lil Fame Reacts

Wow, their seems be a lot of misunderstanding around the new LP of M.O.P. lately. Funny, because it keeps reaching higher and higher… Yesterday I got the official DJ Premier mixed song of “What I Wanna B” that contains scratches that didn’t made the album. The tracklist of “The Foundation” is fucked up, Termanology needed to delay his shit with Lil Fame due to earlier release, Premo couldn’t finish all his tracks with M.O.P. due to the same problem and now this… Read it yourself in this personal mail from Rahaman Kilpatrick:

Back in September 2008, MOP, Joe Buddens, Termanology and Big Shugg came down to Sonar in B’more and me and my peeps go to the show. I pass out beat cd’s to Term, Joe and during MOP’s show I give it to Laze E Laze’s son who’s the hype man. Now, fast forward to September 2009 and I’m listening to MOP’s Foundation album on my way home from work and when track #9 “Rude Bastard” comes on….it’s MY FUCKING BEAT! Not the same sample, the SAME BEAT! Drum programming, sample, chops…the whole damn beat! Then my man Mills does the knowledge for me to see who got credit for the track on the album and it says “produced by Fizzy Womack”! So…I don’t get a check, I don’t get credit…I don’t even get co production credit! And I’m not looking for no “feel sorry for me” or none of that hoopla…I’m just asking for cats to let ANYONE who ya’ll know who loves hip hop to know who did the track so I can @ least get credit from my peers (hip hop fans and other producer’s grinding out there)for the beat. I’ve been grinding @ this beat thing for YEARS and for my first placement for a major artist to be a jack move…it just ain’t right…but it is what it is…like I said do me this justice and @ least let the hip hop heads ya’ll know that the bol Kil from Philly gave MOP THAT heat…not no fucking Fizzy Womack…

Me personally believe every word of it, but what should I think about it? I think it’s besides the Premo bootlegs one of the lowest shit I’ve seen, reminding me of Puff Daddy. Give credit where credit is due is like a law for me, that’s why I’m posting this. If you don’t give a shit, ok. Lets move to the next post… If you are a beat maker you should try to think in his situation. What would you do haha, spread it! Shame on you Fizzy, shame on you! Hope you read this… You must be stupid thinking this wouldn’t come out lol…

Here you have the official Preem track “What I Wanna B” with scratches that didn’t made the album due to rush problems I guess.

UPDATE: Fizzy Womacks aka Lil Fame OFFICIAL reaction via kevinnottingham:

Its true I didn’t do the beat “Rude Bastards” as Kil said….I heard it, it was hot and I rhymed on it…I’d never steal a beat, that’s not me…and the quote on the net is not from me I’m looking into who made that statement as me

Laze (M.O.P’s manager) was handling the credits, I gave him the info for who did the beat.

I just saw the finished artwork and my 1st comment was, “I didn’t do that beat why does it say I did”? (Ref. To “rude bastard”)

-Lil Fame aka Fizzy Womack of M.O.P.

Then I’m also asking like Lil Fame who the hell wrote that reaction on my blog? I even had emails from Brownsvillians who threated me via the other side of the world. If Lil Fame and M.O.P. wanted Kil on the credits why didn’t he got any call from them, I mean if you produce a track you should hear a preview? I think the reaction is kinda lame in my point of view. There is basically nothing changed, it’s jacked, straight up and down. I won’t allow any more reactions because the place for discussion is moved, this is the place: okayplayer.com! And on that note, I miss Teflon.

Moz – Ashtray Beatz Vol. 1

This is something new I’m going to do with this blog. With more then 1500 clicks a day I could promote a lot of things, so why not people I know who should be recognized in my eyes? I really enjoy helping people. And to stay in the lane of hip hop I present to you “Ashtray Beatz Vol. 1” by my man Moz. He is a producer from Croatia who is also a big fan of DJ Premier‘s work. If I didn’t feel his beats I wouldn’t post this, it really got that 90s flavor! You rarely see that. With Damu The Fudgemunk in my back head this is a great addition to chill out. Listen yourself:

Moz – Ashtray Beatz Vol. 1

I would appreciate any kind of feedback, what do you think of the beats? Should I post more of this or not? For any MC who wants more information or ask him for something feel free to email him at gani187@hotmail.com or visits his myspace here. He’s a very friendly person. And I’m telling you, this guy got loads of beats waiting to be spit on!!

I would like to thank you all for reading and listening!

Live From HQ Freestyle with Punchlyne & Fokis

On the last Live From HQ were Punchlyne and Fokis guests, and they made a little time for a freestyle. Rhyming over the NYGzPolicy” instrumental they get it in. Also Panchi did a classic line! A special threat for everybody:

DJ Premier – Live From HQ Freestyle (Feat. Punchlyne & Fokis)

It was a busy DJ Premier weekend so there was a buncha said on the show. Read this, there was supposed to be two more Preem joints on the new M.O.P. album. The reason they didn’t got on the album was because of the deadlines. M.O.P. went on tour and KOCH Records (who fucked up the tracklist) had their deadline. Very bad, because it was the banging shit. “What I Wanna Be” was a beat that Lil Fame really want to spit on so Premo gave him the green light, but it was original a beat Preem made in 2006 when J-Dilla died. He wanted to remember J-Dilla on his own way by making a beat that sounded like him. We all know that banging shit needs to come out, just for sake of Hip-Hop. Here you can listen to Premiers own words.

Now a funny thing, DJ Premier said that the next NYGz album -that is changed to a different title, I think it was “Hustlers Union“- is supposed to be finished at the end of september. Also his dream to work with Busta Rhymes could come out, they got in touch for that.

Now an even more funny note is that Premo designed a sneaker! He designed an Air Force One sneaker for a campaign together with DJ AM (R.I.P.). I like to wear Air Force One’s so I’m excited. Not that excited like the collectors, but pretty excited… That’s all folks!!

M.O.P. – What I Wanna B (Feat. Rell)

Here we have it, the new M.O.P. track produced by DJ Premier for their upcoming album “The Foundation“. There was a little confusing in the beginning but now it’s for sure. The problem is that the tracklist on “The Foundation” is wrong. The label fucked that up. Too bad it’s only one song, but this is what we were all waiting for so enjoy:
