STEELWORKS4 GRIPZ OF DOOM

MF DOOM.

I'm not really going to pontificate much about how I feel about this MC other than to say that in my book, he is pretty much heads and shoulders above nearly every other rapper terms of creativity, lyricism, complexity and originality.

Plus, DOOM's bizarre mixtures of  references from 70's TV , 80's cartoons and 90's MC acumen are right up my alley.

Apparently, GBUILDING is also an advocate. He dropped 3 projects featuring DOOM, each delving into the world of the original Villain himself.

This particular project is a 22-track venture across several of DOOM's evolving if not schizophrenic personality sets. (Well, actually 17 if we are not counting the intro/outro and remixes.) There are definitely some gems on this joint. 



Here is a little tasty treat. A G-MIX from STEELWORKS4 GRIPZ OF DOOM.

"GET 'ER DONE G-MIX2"

Why, even Mos Def is a fan of DOOM.  G took some time on STEELWORKS4 to allow Mos Def to explain what makes DOOM so special. Check out the video with a ton of GBUILDING production all over it and then go grab up the FREE DOWNLOAD of the whole project!


These two cats definitely have mutual respect for one another. After this first video, another surfaced like it, with DOOM making a cameo at the end of it.   Later they did some shows together.


There have been some mashups on the net with DOOM over some Mos Def beats and vice versa and some buzz about a possible legitimate full project with them together on it, but I don't believe it has been verified.  Until then enjoy this certified heat from GBUILDING and a link to a special performance where Mos Def performs Madvillain's "Accordion".

GBUILDING SHAOLIN TEMPLE3

When I was about 5 years old, my father showed me Shogun Assassin.  For those who have not yet seen it, you are missing out on a bloody tale of honor, revenge and pure samurai hacking enjoyment.  For the record, Shogun Assassin is a re-cut version of Animego's Lone Wolf & Cub.  GBUILDING pays a tribute to the cult classic on the SHAOLIN TEMPLE3 album.  Sickness.  By the way, the 30th Anniversary Edition Blu-Rau of Shogun Assassin just recently came out.  Either way, DVD/VHS/or Blu-Ray cop it.

GBUILDING SHAOLIN TEMPLE4



SHAOLIN TEMPLE4.  GBUILDING seamlessly channels classic Shaw Brothers movies on this project with a mixture of hard-hitting aggressive drums, soulful swinging samples, and grimy, dank cellar beats. The energy on this joint is off the charts. Check it out on the SHAOLIN TEMPLE Downloads Page!

IN THE GBUILDING, TAKING ALL TYPES OF MEDICINE...

"GBUILDING got mad beats."

An understatement if I ever heard one.   For those who are unfamiliar with the name, GBUILDING is a hip-hop producer. A prolific creator, "G" is always working on the next project.  With more than 20 projects under his belt, GBUILDING is a beat-making machine.  With a professional production resume and an insatiable appetite for hip-hop, GBUILDING is definitely making moves.

This blog is something of a dedication to the work I have appreciated and enjoyed and hope to share this archive with a wider audience.  On this blog, I intend to drop reviews, links, videos, art, pics, free mixtapes and other hip-hop related content.  Keeping up with GBUILDING is not always the easiest task, but hopefully I can get an interview and put some more exclusive material on here.  Stay tuned as GBUILDING continues to drop "nuttin' but dat RAW."
