Kaotic Disciples of the Poet

Three emcees and one incredible producer whipped up this very original EP back in 1997. J.O.B., a member of Universal Sounds, had his own group, Kaotic Disciples of the Poet, whom he continued making music with after Universal Sounds disbanded.

This EP includes two of my favorite songs by them "10 Foot Jim" and the Five-Percent influenced "Bionic". Also included are two versions of their anthem "It's All Kaotic". Word on the street is the J.O.B. is in the process of doing a reunion album with the Disciples in 2010.

Each week I will drop one gem off of this EP.

10 Foot Jim

Man In The Mirror (Demo)

E.N.S. came up with this introspective track back in 1995. With a sample from the obvious for the hook he brings in lyrics reflecting his own self journey. The track has all kinds of samples - musical and vocal - coming in and out as well as cuts by Mysterio. It was a demo and Mysterio has noted he has the original master on 8-track and will eventually give the song its proper place sonically.

NOTABLE QUOTES:

"Cause if they can take me and put me in another man's army/ And arm me/ Just so another fool can harm me/ Well, then I'm just a shell of a man/ Without a plan/ Who can't think for himself..." - E.N.S.

Look & Listen

Freestyle Friday = MMC Intro

An intro for an old show put together by Claw and MJB. Complete with wild sound effects and MJB impersonating a newscaster it tries to be serious but in turn ends up being quite hilarious.

Warning

Enemies (Remix Part Deux) Live 1997 QJ

The classic "Enemies" track performed live in 1997. There were about three different versions of this staple song and I believe that this beat can only be found on this live version. DJ Cream and Aya Da Storm provide backing vocals for the three emcees.

ENEMIES

Jakes Jamboree Session #2

A fourteen part series from the session up in Connecticut at Lamada's Laboratory. Live drums, bass, keys, kalimba, turntables, etc. provide the tools for which these guys used to just havesome fun making music.

Session #2

I Am Mr. Condom!

1991. A funny little track composed by Tribe Money with back ups by Romanoff and Moosie Moe. Definitely different from what was to come but still had that good humor.

He is Mr. Condom

Lamada's Breakthrough

Lamada was always at work with his Akai and SP12. Once in a while he would bless us with some instrumentals on tape and this is one of the beats from that series. The drums are gritty and the jazz samples he dug up from dusty crates were laid over the track perfectly.
