Today In Hip Hop History: Intelligent Hoodlum’s Self Titled Debut Album Turns 30 Years Old!

maxresdefault 7

On this day in 1990, original Juice Crew member and Queensbridge Projects native Percy Chapman aka the Intelligent Hoodlum, released his debut album, also entitled Intelligent Hoodlum, on the A&M Records label.

Produced primarily by the QB behind the boards legend Marley Marl and Large Professor, this album was one of the most socio-political projects of its time, which could be easily categorized among the ranks of the Poor Righteous Teachers and Brand Nubian with its Islamic/5% Nation overtones. With the reception of The Juice Crew’s “The Symphony” as one of the best Hip Hop tracks of all time, it was very easy to overlook the members of the crew that didn’t appear on the song. As the youngest member of the crew, this album was necessary for Tragedy to prove himself as artist in his own right.

Some of the most memorable track from this project include the James Brown-powered “Black And Proud”, the George H.W. Bush-inspired “Arrest The President” and the Soul II Soul-sampled “Back To Reality”. Almost three decades ago, albums were more exclusive, so a 12-track album was an unspoken maximum for the number of songs on a full length project.

Salute to the Intelligent Hoodlum(Tragedy Khadafi) Marley Marl, Large Professot and everyone at A&M Records that helped make this album a Hip Hop classic!

Ice Cube’s New Song Calls To Put The President In Handcuffs (Audio)

Ice Cube built his Rap career on saying what he feels and not caring about the consequences. For Hip-Hop fans, that’s what millions upon millions of people love him, even before Hollywood gravitated towards his on-screen gifts. The founding member of N.W.A. and Westside Connection has not changed his ways. Even with a blockbuster career in front of as well as behind the cameras in the movie business, along with a professional basketball league, Cube is willing to speak his mind, and disregard who it offends. The writer of “F*ck Tha Police” and “The Ni**a Ya Love To Hate” does not mince words with “Arrest The President.” The single from Cube’s upcoming Everythang’s Corrupt aligns with such an album title. Ice looks to the Oval Office and sees a host of crimes and infractions. Ice wants Donald Trump to go, and for a man who was profiled by police on the streets of Los Angeles in his youth (as well as recently, in music videos), he believes the authorities have reason to take the Commander-in-Chief out in cuffs. He points to the alleged tampering in the 2016 Presidential Election and collusion with Russia as reason enough by the President’s staff. Trump and his administration have, of course, denied those accusations.

At this close of the second verse, Cube vents his frustrations at some Americans. “For the record, you affected / Who you elected is so septic / So full of sh*t, I can’t accept it.” He comes back to his idea in the third verse, while venting other frustrations. Incensed with Trump, the MC raps, “Let’s meet at the White House / Run in and turn the lights out.Snoop Dogg Fires Shots At The Clown President & America’s Political Circus (Video) Given Cube’s massive profile, time will tell if Trump responds to Ice like he did to Snoop Dogg’s 2017 disses. #BonusBeat: With a similar chorus, Cube is not the first MC to have this message.

Ice Cube Takes Direct Aim At Donald Trump W/ “Arrest The President”

Ice Cube Arrest The President

West Coast rapper Ice Cube is making his mighty rap game return felt. The hip-hop veteran has delivered his new “Arrest The President” single and goes directly at head of state Donald Trump.

Last night, Cube dropped his hard-hitting record and doesn’t hold back on his endless Trumpster references.

Last week, Cube revealed his new Everythang’s Corrupt album would arrive in December.

A couple years ago, Cube explained the delay in getting out his Everythang’s Corrupt LP.

“I had to put it down for a minute to finish these movies and make sure they were right. To make sure Ride Along 2 was right, Barbershop and Straight Outta Compton – and this is going to be the end of it. I did a movie called Fist Fight. I just didn’t want to spread myself too thin. Finish these movies and finish this promotion and then finish the record and put it out.” (AHH)
