This week's top 5 is courtesy of my man ARCEE (Real Frequency) who by his own admission is a "Certified Hip Hop Professional". I myself am still working towards obtaining my certificate. Actually I would have graduated last year had it not been for a rather low mark in the horrorcore rap class. I just can't seem to grasp my head around that whole Gravediggaz, Flatlinaz thing. Who knows, I guess there's always night school. Anyway without any further a due we present to you this week's top 5. As we proceed to keep on, ROCKIN' YOU (insert echo here). I just had to do it.
WEEKLY TOP 5 - DEAD OR ALIVE (ARCEE'S PICK'S)
1) A PRAYER TO MICHAEL VICK AND T.I - JAY ELECTRONICA 
"I never got shook up by talks of Illuminati/
I’m from where niggas talk that talk
and walk around the streets all day carrying heat like the human body"
Lyrics. Maybe that’s the reason this New Orleans native got more buzz than a giant Philishave. Maybe it’s beats from Dilla, Madlib, Mr. Porter and Just Blaze. Or maybe once Erykah Badu starts fucking you, your game reaches new heights. Either way, I can’t wait for the result. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GVN7U4JK
2) MY GIRL - THE BUDOS BAND 
You probably don’t know that you’re a fan of The Budos Band. You might know them as the Dap Kings when they back Sharon Jones. They were the Menahan Street Band when Jay-Z jacked them for "Roc Boys". And you may have heard a group called the Daptones write and perform with a little singer named Amy Winehouse, You can find their interpretation of the Temptations classic on their appropriately titled sophmore LP, The Budos Band II. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RDRIHTNJ
3) MY MOMENT (ADVANCE) - GUILTY SIMPSON 
I call Guilty Simpson the Nonchalant Menace. He always appears to be on some wild shit, but he’s always just casual about it. I’ve been on this Black Milk joint hard since my man Jay put me up on the official advance. His debut album, Ode to the Ghetto drops March 25th on Stones Throw. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IVROV7SC
4) LOVIN' MAN - EUGENE MCDANIELS 
I recently uploaded 1971’s Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse to the ipeezy and rediscovered this joint right here. I must confess I only really valued this album because Tribe used it. Eugene McDaniels was on some revolutionary Bob Dylan meets Gil Scott Heron shit. Timeless. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=O7QUBM84
5) HOLD ON - MARVEL 
Marvel is one of the truly underappreciated artists in Toronto. Even the people who think they appreciate him don’t really do. Like even as I write this, I’m inclined to criticize the quality of the mix. But Marvel’s cerebral yet graceful delivery dances all over the two-track from Mr. Attic. His words are like puzzles that put themselves together upon multiple listens. Fuck that easily digestible tablet rap. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JO0NX38V
