I Make Bitches, Make Me Sandwiches...And Scratch My Ass When It Itches!!!

Now there was a period in the 90's where my speakers and amp belonged to The Beatnuts!!! Now a lot of people say Beatnuts this and Beatnuts that but still the crew never ever get the true respect they deserved? This is one of them things that amazes me. To me the 90's had Pete rock for all that soul production....D.I.T.C for that head bob shit that broke your kneck! Primo for just straight up classics and then the Beatnuts? i mean seriously...if you check their discog its frightening to read how many stone wall classic fucking tracks they churned out. They just seemed to become a factory for beats that beat the shit out your system back in the day!

I'm listening to "Hellraiser" as i type this and the one thing that makes beatnuts stand out is the way the shit still sounds so fresh! and im not talking 1 track im talking just about every beat that has beatnut stamped on it...

From Chi ali to Common Sense to Kurious to Prime minister pete nice damn!!! if i made a list of my favourite hip hop tracks ever, i know half of them would have been produced by the crew.

I remember hearing Chi Ali's "Let the Horns Blow" for the first time and saying "shit!!!" about how dope the track was... so when you in the record shop and completely out of the blue you see The Beatnuts on top of a record sleave you just grab it without a second thought. Now I used to have to travel to buy my records as my hometown was just shit for shops! and i still remember the day I grabbed "Intoxicated Demons EP" It took me an hour to get home by train and i swear that was one of the longest hours i ever had as went home after buying it! The anticipation to hear it was unbelievable! and to this day i think the World's Famous Intro is still one of the greatest ever for me. Its not the fact that its that good? its more the fact that you build up an album so much that sometimes the first track lets you down and kinda puts a downer on the whole thing...Now as soon as the first beat starts on that intro you kinda know its worth the wait and i think from that moment on i was in love with the beatnuts!

***The Beatnuts - Intoxicated Demons E.P.***

So then after dropping all be it a shit hot E.P. the Nuts had to come good with a full length effort and even me being the optimistic fan i was back then never expected the classic that came...

***The Beatnuts***

Now This is just one of those albums where not one track dissapoints? not many of them around eh?

So seriously if you dont own this album you should be locked up somewhere where they make you listen to Elton John records all day! This album is about as golden as the whole golden era itself!!! just download the shit and then go buy it!

Way way way too many tracks to post up indivudually for you but there was the singles from the album. Sadly i dont got the first "Props over here" i did have it but sold it a long long time ago??? i dont know why i did things like that back then? It didn't have anything different from the album tho from what i remember apart from the instrumentals obviously. Luckilly i still got my copy of Hit Me With That/Get funky 12"

So on this 12" came the excellent "Get Funky Remix" which had a cool as hell beat and some alternate lyrics. nice nice 12" to have

There was also a promo 12" from the L.P. which again i dont have but i do have the MP3's....

"hellraiser Remix" and the i copped a version of "Sandwiches Remix" which i had never heard untill i came across a blog which had it! I'm so sorry for not remembering what blog i got it from so if you see this and think "hey shit bag stole my track" i'm sorry!!!

Now i can post album after album from the Nuts, but i not gonna do that shit! I have a hard enough time posting full albums up as it is which is something i didnt want to get into but it seems the only way to get your point across in blogworld! You know you like what you hear so you have to go buy this shit!

but i will follow up with another classic nuts effort with the video for No escaping this...featuring that crazy fucking man called greg nice!!! check out that lunatic dance at the end of the video man!!!
