Now, these guys doesn't matter if your into Rock or Hip Hop music. The only that matters to them is they deliver instant messages to the people, who could relate in both sorts of music genres.I call them the kings, who rocks the Mic since before I was born, well if you were born during the early 90's you can hear their tracks played on air, with a very low-fidelity music, collaboration of three emcee's, live guitars, the old school half step drum patterns on a certain tempo, that sometimes you can hardly determine if it's on jungle sample or in the old school hiphop ish, but either ways they performed and distributed distinction to their own music from others, you would also remember "I Gotta Fight for my right to party", "It's sabotage" or "Three emcees and one DJ", collaborating with the popular Dj of its time, DJ Mix Master Mic.
Are you guessing them already? Are you? Huh? Ohh yes! And you just got it right, its the all time favorite. "The Beastie Boys".
The Beastie Boys (left to right) MCA, Mike D, and Ad-Rock
Since their 7th release last 2007 of The Mix UP album, they were working with the Hot Sauce Committee Album. intended to be released as their 8th Album, problem was there were unfortunate events that triggered the cancelling of that project. Adam "MCA" Yauch was diagnosed with cancer , The album was previously known by the working title Tadlock's Glasses, wasn't official so it some didn't call it as the 8th but rather than an additional album or inserts they dropped "Too Many Rappers featuring Nas" that hits both local and national mainstreams in US soil. t peaked at #93 on the Billboard Hot 100 making it the Beastie Boys' first single in five years to chart on the Hot 100; the last time being "Ch-Check It Out" in 2004 that peaked at #68. "Too Many Rappers" has also been nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 1 was released under the title Hot Sauce Committee Part Two with a slightly altered track listing including "Too Many Rappers". The material intended for part two may now be released as Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 1at some point in the future.

Readers Digest, True Stories of Great Escapes Originally from Rogelio Constantino Lim (Uncle),
given to Rogelio Gregorio Ortiz (My father)11-20-1979 to: Roger Peter and keith Paul Ortiz (Siblings) late 90's to Roem Ortiz (me) 2008
I. Way Back the old days
This book has 506 amazing true stories of real gate crashing ,kamikaze actions, hole digging and under-the-table-planning one of my favorite is The Longest Walk the title describes it's length of the stories cause it's also the longest story on this collections of true escapes. It's all about of a group of men (Political Prisoners) , walking 4,000 miles (6,437km) from Siberia to India in search for freedom, My father, his 2Nd cousin , my brothers and me, couldn't imagine on how "The long walk" would fit on a film.
II. The Long walk Journey.
And yes after 31 years of having this book on our family tree. Rj Deopita My friend lend me his USB to copy a film. later I know, The Newmarket Films, Exclusive Film Distribution and Meteor Pictures finally made a good film for it. They In titled it "The Way Back" Directed by Peter Weir. but of course as we all know. Most of the books that were made into films weren't exactly the same as the original writer who wrote it. it was cut down into some important details only. but I'm grateful that I was able to experience a wonderful story from a book to the Pinilakang tabing (Big Screen). If only Tatay was still alive he would be the very first one who would rushed out and tell me to download the film.

Yess Sir... Were on the second week of Moflow Artist of The Month, still we have 6theNorthStar for the Month of August, by the way sorry for the delay guys. That’s what you get if you’re not paying your internet bills on time haha
So no further delay lets’ review our last question from last week.
Moflow:
Can you tell the readers of this blog, what were the sudden changes of Hip-hop Culture/music back from your day and to its present time can you differentiate it for them?
6 The Northstar:
Back in the day, if you were that different cat, keepin' it fresh with individuality, different style, you were cool. It was all about expression of individuality, something George Patton would've hated but, you were cool if you had your own thing going on.. Nowadays you go to store, a lot of kids think they can "buy" Hip-hop in a store, dress the part, trying to consider it like some uniform and soak up on all these brands that were marketed as such. The culture has never been about that, it was always about the expression of self aside from fashion. It is never a trend, it's a culture. The Hip-hop culture has also been recognized by the United Nations man, so it's never just a "fad" Individuality was so important back then.
Moflow:
so what would you prefer sir, Today's Hip Hop? or Bring back the good old times?
6The Northstar:
Although there has been a huge difference between how it was back then, and how it is now, I'd still gotta say that musically, I wanna stay around with the now, know what I mean? emcess nowadays are lyrically complex now compared to emcees back in the 80s. The different emcees, producers, dj’s etc. had mastered a different approach to their craft and even as of the moment, there are probably a dozen of them right now, innovating more approaches to their craft
quoting my cohort, Caliph8.. "Innovating styles for the future"
Moflow:
Word!Sir, Lets proceed to your productive side, Aside from being an emcee, writing songs? What else can you do
6 The Northstar:
Well I can eat a whole live chicken if you want? *laughs* Like I said, during the time I started writing, I had the chance of learning how to make beats, producing for fellow emcees in and out of AMPON. I also wanted to take it further and apply it to a different setting and had the chance of contributing to short indie films made by some of my colleagues in and out of Bacolod City, although the titles now are hazy as hell *laughs* but they are out there. A lot of cats in Bacolod City also know my work as DJ on Killer Bee 106.3 Bacolod. This was a bit unplanned but is still a blessing since I get to play music for people tuning in and get to interact a lot with people from different places. It's also the reason why once in awhile you get to hear a Brother Ali track on air out of nowhere
Moflow:
Well that's indeed a productive side you got there! So would you still learn more? I mean collaborate with others who had different vision than yours, for a new project on the future?
6 The Northstar:
Of course man, I'm planning if I move back to Manila; I wanna take up the cello or saxophone again to add on to knowledge. Add different a color to the music. Of course, I’m open to the idea of sharing ideas with like minded musicians who may or may not be from the realm of Hip-hop music. It never was about that anyway, since music IS the universal language. Whether you are from 2 different countries, music maybe THE way to communicate man. I've been talking to different people from different parts of the world as I am also a fan of their music. We will see man what's going to happen. We'll push the envelope even further
Moflow:
That’s what they say, Don’t hate, Congratulate!, so last week I've read your shout outs saying that your into something , is this a new project?
6 The Northstar:
You stalking me now? *laughs* yeah, my very good friend Christer Isulat aka XTR did a little instrumental and he wanted me to drop a few lines on it. It’s still on the works, I'm still writing over it and we are both excited to release it soon. I just gotta stop delaying things though *laughs*
Moflow:
hahah oh? so Now I'm a Stalker? hahah I'll keep my mouth shut, I might say something haha nahh Joking hahaha, Good! you have XTR, The man was a monster in making tunes and it would be great seeing you guys work again oh, wait minute Saw you last time that you and Xtr was in a same band, right? A year ago?
6theNorthstar:
Yeah, I used to have a XTR backing me up live back then. I wanted my sets to be backed by a live band to get that full sound. We also had a band called 21 Gun Salute but XTR had to move to manila immediately so we changed to a different line up back then… Well the band didn't work out as planned but we all soaked up on the good music anyway
Moflow:
Nas said, from his song can’t Forget about you "somethings are Forever Somethings are not...”
Sir, if you perform do you prefer a live band or some MPC backing you up?
6theNorthstar:
Hard question. I gotta say though, it really depends on which one is available. You know what they say "A real emcee adapts to any situation" so if the live band is there, then let's go fuck with that, if not, then, it wouldn't hurt to have Caliph or Pasta Groove banging that MPC too *laughs*
Moflow:
Yes sir! your absolutely right haha how about MPC kicking it and a Live band with it! haha, It can be right?
6theNorthstar:
I'm not really keen into the MPC since I don't own one, but I've seen both Caliph and PG (pasta groove) play together with a live band. Totally sick
Moflow:
So it can be! MPC and a band together, in some hip hop scene do you practice the thing we call "CIPHER SESSION" can you share your experiences with it?
6theNorthstar:
AMPON cats do that every time we all see each other. That has always been a part of it. Allot of people only see them on like events or maybe in the ONLY movie they have seen about ciphers and battles and such. But with us, that has always been a part of it. I take part in them once in awhile man since whenever I go back home and hang out with the other AMPON cats, I'm on vacation mode *laugh* but yeah man, once in a while I take part in it and I hold my own Bookmark
Moflow :
