Trading 4s with my homie/brother Majesty at Brown Bag Thursdays!!!

"MC on the MPC" Live at Brown Bag Thursdays

Mr. Beatz Rapathon Footage

Many of you know that I was a part of this year's 3rd Annual Rapathon that took place at the Hip Hop Cultural Center in Harlem and went on for 26 hours. This is the footage of me rocking throughout the time that my team was on stage. Shout out to my homie Optometrist who hooked up the footage for this:

Mr. Beatz Live at the Nuyorican!!!

The other night I performed at the world famous Nuyorican Poet's Cafe in NYC for the "All That!" show hosted by Homeboy Sandman. I wanted to make sure it was gonna be a classic performance since the Nuyorican is definitely a legendary spot...so my show had to be as well. With that in mind, I decided to bring my MPC on stage for a little treat to give the crowd something different. It was also mad different for the simple fact that I happened to rock 2 of my joints along with a live band instead of the song's instrumentals so it was definitely a classic night.





Big Shout out to my homeboy of all homeboys, Homeboy Sandman for hosting such a ridiculously dope show and for also putting me on the bill for the evening! Also, a super, duper, stupid shout out to my homie, Solomon Jazz who hooked me up with the dope video footage and adding his editing skillz!

The Nicest Freestyle MCs

This is one talk that I've had with a few cats that definitely gets a lot of different results. Those who know me know that freestyling is something that I love doing (especially on stage) and hearing from other MCs who are dope at it. A lot of people attempt it, but there is a very small few who are great at it. I always feel that possessing this type of skill gives any MC the power to rip any crowd. Also, I feel I need to mention this...when I say the word "FREESTYLE", I'm talking about rhyming off the head and spitting what's never been heard or written down that's on your mind at that given moment. I am NOT referring to so-called "freestyles" like the ones you see on mixtapes. No offense to those cats, but that is NOT freestyling and needs to be called something else in my opinion. Spitting an exclusive written verse over someone else's known beat does not make that a freestyle lol. Some of the BEST freestylers I've heard are (in no particular order):

Supernatural
Juice
Jin
Wordsworth
Breezevahflowin
Craig G
Eyedea
Common
Iron Solomon
Rabbi Darkside
Why-G

These are just a few MCs that immediately come to mind when I think of cats who I've heard spit off the head that literally made me be like, "damn!". I'm sure there are more, but those are the few who come to mind at this moment. Who are some of the illest freestylers you've heard????

My New Online Milkcrate!

What up?!

I was never big on this blog thing, but I figured I'd start up a place for having Hip Hop debates, discussions and any other stuff that I just want to ramble on about and share with my peeps (or any other nosey muthafuckas that don't know me and want to read my shit lol).

I've been known to have mad different debates and discussions on what's going on in the music world or society and figured it would be best to set up a place online for this instead of just going back and forth on the messenger or with a bunch of emails. I already have my site for my music at www.mrbeatz.com, but I'm gonna use this blog thing as a place to connect with everyone regarding my personal experiences and anything else that doesn't fit into the mrbeatz.com realm.

Welcome to my online milkcrate! I call it that because I feel I'm sitting on a milkcrate in front of a bodega building with my peeps with this blog stuff lol.
