TyquanMZK — Fri, 26 Nov 2010 20:08:00 +0000

Congratulations to the homie Cros 1. Tomorrow will be the 13th Freestyle Session Anniversary. It is one of the most inspirational jam that have reached many bboys/girls throughout the whole globe. It is considered the Super Bowl of BBoy Jam. It is that legendary because 13 years it is still relevant to this day. Too bad I can't be there due to family business. However, my MZK members will be out there to support the jam, also my brotha Alien Ness will be judging. Hahha finally Cros got him to judge....lol I remember Ness ran up to me all excited to say "YOOO TY!! CROS finally got me to judge!! I'm so happy!" hahahaha.

I still remember the first Freestyle Session video that I saw was Freestyle Session 3. You can watch the clip of it below. It have inspired many including myself.

Also, my crew (Zulu Kingz) and I got the honor to win Freestyle Session 10th yr Anniv in 2007 so that was a very memorable moment for my crew and I.

This year the winners of Freestyle Session will represent at R16 2011 in Korea! A trip worth over $20,000 dollars plus $10,000 in cash. Again shouts to the homie Cros 1 and also his Freestyle Session staff for always putting out a quality BBoy Jam for us all. Congratulations!

Song of The Day: The Narcicyst featuring Shadia Mansour "Hamdulillah"

TyquanMZK — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 05:43:00 +0000

This is why I love Hip Hop..transcend all barriers! This is Narcicyst with a song called Hamdulillah meaning "Praise to God" in Arabic.

According to the director of video: this video is a global collaborative effort by 10 photographers - from London to Lebanon, Cairo To Canada, Abu Dhabi to America- to create a portrait of the New Global Citizens. They are DJs, MCs, poets, architects, teachers, doctors, parents and children. Most of all they are people.

What?!! FunkMaster Flex dissin Tupac? C’Mon SON!!!

TyquanMZK — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 04:56:00 +0000

Cmon Funk Flex...u buggin!!!

Funk Flex dissin Tupac:

His response on why he diss Tupac:

Outlawz camp responding to FunkFlex diss:

On the real, Funk Flex is buggin for real. Let Tupac Rest In Peace. Also, he saying Tupac as dwelling on negativity but Funk Flex been a 50 supporter with all that beefing 50 does...and doesn't he know Hip Hop is about battling etc as well...so I think Funk Flex is confused...lol...He needs to know his place for real.

Like 2pac said..."Niggas talk a lot of shit but that's after I'm gone
Cause they fear me in physical form let it be known"

Araab Muzik is nice with it on the MPC!!

TyquanMZK — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 18:26:00 +0000

Araab Muzik did it again!! Straight fire on the MPC. A lot of kats don't even understand the art behind producing beats and yes it's part of Hip Hop no doubt! To me Araab Muzik is nice with his. He is the producer of Dip Set. This is just his promo of him using the mpc and drumming on it.

Here is part 1 and 2 in case you missed it before:

Grandmaster Caz and DJ Disco Wiz vs Afrika Bambaataa

TyquanMZK — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 14:58:00 +0000

In Honor of Hip Hop History.

Caz and Disco Wiz drop some gems about a time when they battle Afrika Bambaataa.

According to my Zulu Ahki Coda of Tomahawk Zulu Chapter, he stated:
"The ill thing about this video is that the comic shows them outside in the park. But in reality this battle that he is speakin of actually took place inside at a place called the PAL(Police Atheletic League) on Webster Avenue in the Bronx."

Mighty Zulu Kingz vs Skill Methodz Raw Cypha Battle: Check the battle ethics!!

TyquanMZK — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 17:55:00 +0000

This is from Freestyle Session 11 in 2008, the same Freestyle Session where MZK called out Massive Monkeez in that infamous concrete cypha battle.

Shouts to SKMZ!! I think it was Teknyc from SKMZ that set it off to call out one of the MZK members. I think it was Smurf ...that he called out. Then it became a 3 man battle (Casper, Smurf, Joolz vs Teknyc, Venum, Flipz) with no one else jumped in since none from each side jumped in after that, and let just the 3 from each side continue to battle cuz thats just the rule of engagement. The footage here show like the last 1/2 of the battle if I can remember.

To all BBoys/Girls: Watch and Learn the BATTLE ETHICS by the two crews.

- No shit talking, do the talking on the floor dancing
- No disrespect
- Crew members from both side watching but in battle demeanor mode ready to throw down in case someone else from each side jumps in
- No cheerleading on the sidelines jumping up and down to give props for their crew members even if someone from their crew did some nice rounds.

True class act on how a battle is suppose to be from both crews.

Also, the footage don't show this but when the music stops, the battle stops, and when the music starts again then the battle continue. It went on like this for i think 15-20 minutes. I think this went down during Freestyle Session prelims or top 16. This is only like 1/2 of the battle. I think there were rounds missing from both sides in the beginning of the battle where Teknyc was the first one to set it off.

Take notes...this is an educated post for the future generations on how a battle should be.

Peace to my crew and SKMZ for the inspiration and carrying on tradition on how it should be done!
