DIRTY FLIRTS I DO TWO FOR FIFTEEN

Flirta D was always the emcee I looked up to growing up in North West London. His noises, voices and dynamic flow were a match for D Double E from East London. There's this Youtube channel called The Grime Historian that has added quite a few Flirta and SLK tracks. Flirta definitely deserves his dues as one of the best emcees out of North West London. Get down with it!

Below are a few gems from Flirta's vast artillery of reload worthy verses, mainy from Grime Historian.

Get Out, Get Out!

FLIRTA D LOST TAPE


Sick footage of Flirta D spitting somewhere with Skepta and Jammer. He bodies the track so hard Skepta don't wanna spit! His verse about Sky channels and his rhymes at the end are too ill: 'Can't be me your makin a fool of, no I ain't takin my jewels off... I ain't foolin around 4 years I bin schooling these clowns'. Flirta D = NW Legend.

NEW OFWGKTA



Odd Future are still finding time to make swagged out music when they're not appearing on MTV and performing with Diddy at SXSW.

The first track above 'Less' by MellowHype (Left Brain & Hodgy Beats) features Casey Veggies one of my favorite rappers right now. Swag.

The second track 'Live' features Mike G and Hodgy rhyming over a Flying Lotus joint. I'm looking forward to hearing more from both of these swagged out Cali emcees.

LET ME RIDE


'Let Me Ride' by Dr Dre from his album The Chronic released in 1992 on Interscope Records. This video is ridiculously ill, it makes me want to move to California, buy a lowrider and cruise around bumping this very song. Classic West Coast, G-Funk material.

I love the fact that in Dre's closet all of his clothes are black, Ice Cube's Stussy t-shirt, the 2:40 long intro and the ill Parliament Funkadelic footage at the end.

2 CLASSIC SOUL RECORDS SAMPLED BY REDMAN



Isaac Hayes 'A Few More Kisses To Go'

As sampled on the Reman track 'Tonights Da Night' produced by Erick Sermon and Reggie Noble which appeared on 'Whut? Thee Album' released in 1992. The track also features a sample of the Mary Jane Girls 'All Night Long'.


The Heath Brothers 'Smilin Billy Suite Part 2'

As sampled again by Erick Sermon and Redman from the 'Muddy Waters' LP on the infamous track 'Soopaman Luva 3'. I'm pretty sure they didn't do very much to the the record, except put it on a turntable! I wish there was a music video for this song. Soopaman Luva is Funk Doc in full Slick Rick story mode. This is also the same sample used by Q-Tip on the classic 'One Love' by Nas from the album Illmatic. Red actually used the same sample 2 years later than Nas in 1996.

Redman 'Soopaman Luva III'

Bonus* Nas Feat. Q-Tip 'One Love'

TWO DOPE SONGS THAT WIZ KHALIFA SAMPLED



As heard on the Wiz Khalifa track 'Never Been'. Shouts to Don Silk on this one.

'Never Been'


Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose 'Since I Found My Baby'

From the song 'Who I Am'. Possibly one of my favorite Wiz songs. Shout outs to Relly for locating this.

'Who I Am'
