our tribute to MCA (Auxiliary Phoenix and CJ Hood)

[DeeJayZap]

Hey everyone!
CJ and I made this track as a tribute to MCA. Some people around here will remember when I first started posting remixes and mash ups. That was the start of my musical journey, and all thanks to the great Beastie Boys. I hope you guys enjoy this.

mc passed, mic half mast
Slow down life you move to fast
First heard you I was a boy
Mimic’d you, my mic a toy
Fully licensed, gettin ill
Ronald regan needs to chill
Rip up parties, downin beers respected
by some, all in fear
5 o’ clock shadow, leather jacket
Moms complains about that racket
Kings of globe, had it all
Def jam thieves, they’ll take the fall
West coast bound, new York swagger
Acid trippin, but spit daggers
original galif-in-ockis
way ahead like Nostradomus
heads to bed, no support
a masterpiece that came up short
back to lab, upright bass
Buddhist now all in your face
Heads in check, renaissance
Back to Pauls studied nuance
Instruments were instrumental
fresh rhymes not coincidental
fight for your right, to free others
across the globe, Tibetan brothers iLL
communicato, you continued
brief hiatus, hiphop menu
Hello nasty can I help you
In the round, the heat will melt you
9/11 stop and pause rock mics
for fun, rhyme for a cause 1:13

1:19
then one morning in July a video
that made us cry
superman vs kryptonite
you swore to us you’d be alright
things on hold; get shit straight
you get healthy; we’ll all wait
hot sauce now, one is two
in due time we’ll see this crew
fans got anxious some say selfish
the new record off the shelf is
being lauded and is praised but
how and where is MCA
hall of fame; nominees
respect and love to 3 mc’s
will he show or be awol
jesus Christ where is he now
days pass; get a text I
forget what happens next
cold and numb in disbelief
sad and pissed and full of grief
RIP my Brooklyn brother
A hiphop icon like no other
Father, friend, activist
Director, hiphop scientist
3 mc’s had us open
Now you’re gone while we try copin
Mic cord cut; what’s the answer
Namaste but fuck you cancer 2:12

3:07
Peace to Dechen and to Tenzin
please find solace in this tension
spouse and dad, in your life
the coolest cat to rocked the mic I’m
just a fan, from afar
I feel the pain from all your scars
hip hops dead, nasir jones
close my eyes, rock my head phones
don’t see things, like I used to
live my life, me-2-be true to
Love the rasp, grit & grime
I’ll drop this verse just one last time
3 mc’s had us open
Now you’re gone while we try copin
Mic cord cut; what’s the answer
Namaste but fuck you cancer

3:36
Mca we miss you man….rest in peace

"don’t see things, like I used to
live my life, me-2-be true to"

Perfect lyric bite right there.(y) I liked that a lot.

Also, should have given props to the production. Cool, mellow beat and the scratch interludes were pretty nice. (y)(y)

thanks...

when i heard that beat with the piano i knew that would be the perfect fit for a semi-somber tribute...

when i heard just my rhymes on the raw beat i was hesitant on putting it out cuz i thought it sounded corny....but Zap's touch changed all that....he's got crazy talent.

fyi: i have this track and some other ones on soundcloud if anyone wants to check it....username: cj-hood

awh shucks man, i didn't do too much more! just mixing and scratching :)

[Brass Monk]

Nobody called Biggie, "Notorious B.I.G" when he changed it. Puffy was still Puffy after he went, "P Diddy." The whole symbol thing never caught on with Prince.

You get my point bro? :cool::)

[Kid Presentable]

Been meaning to drop by and say nice work.

So.

Nice work. (y)

[cj hood]

Mspacman was excellent at putting things like that together :(

[beasties#1fan]

Mspacman was excellent at putting things like that together :(

why are you sad?

[Uru-Nitro]

wow im speachless that track is AMAZING. I dont know where to start... the beat is incredible, a doble tempo dark beat that is grown each 4bars until turning epic, and right then the calm, and start again, the second verse is extraordinary, all the epic choir voices, while the MC drops all that touching lines... and the scratches with the mca's lines are the perfect choruses. the end of the track is touching too. aw man did u composed the beat? it's pretty awesome.
and now the rap... extraordinary! very clever rhymes, not just hey mca we love you, but dropping all his musical life in few bars, talking about his humanity, his way of thinking.. very impressive.

well done guys, i still can't believe the crappy mixes we did 10 years ago, and now that kid is producing like a pro
btw, i checked that track called "Auxiliary Phoenix - Beats, Tape-01 [snippets] " and the first one is pure gold(y)

[MCA4ever]

why are you sad?

She really put her heart into all of the thoughtful things she did and I miss that.

[pshabi]

She really put her heart into all of the thoughtful things she did and I miss that.

Did her neighbors finally put a password on the wifi??:D

[beasties#1fan]

She really put her heart into all of the thoughtful things she did and I miss that.

Yeah she totally did, but I don't think we've seen the last of her:o
