Before vaporized lost his laptop powers, he left us with this nice piece of work that cannot be found anywhere else in the blogosphere or message board realm. He took the initiative to remaster the highly sought after shelved debut album by Crustified Dibbs called Night Of The Bloody Apes. According to discogs, this was released on CD, but as far as I knew it was only on cassette. I don't claim that this is CDQ or VBR, but it sounds a hell of a lot better than the versions that have been floating around the web for the past years. I don't even claim that this is a classic album in any shape or form. To be honest, the album is, well,......pretty bad. But, for me, it's worth having just for the frustrated emcee anthem Every Record Label Sucks Dick. Included as a bonus cut is the Biggie Smalls featured cut Cunt Renaissance Remix.
Previews:
Crustified Dibbs - Every Record Label Sucks Dick
Crustified Dibbs(ft. Biggie Smalls) - Cunt Renaissance Remix
If you weren't aware, Crustified Dibbs went on to become RA The Rugged Man and has released music much better than this album, in my humble opinion. I believe on that Cunt Renaissance Remix above, he had already changed his name for that record. Check him out here for some more recent tracks and info. Here's a few joints you probably already know by him -
R.A. The Rugged Man(ft. Agallah) - Till My Heart Stops
R.A. The Rugged Man(ft. Sadat X) - 50,ooo Heads Remix
R.A. The Rugged Man(ft. Blackmarket Militia) - The Renaissance
The Works Of Vaporized:
Nas - I Am (remixed with rare 45 King and Godfather Don beats)
Nas Meets The Large Pro (Nas acapellas over newer Large Professor beats)
Ras Kass - On Earth As It Is... (remix blend, maybe better than the og depending on your taste)
Big L - Put It On (remixed by Verge, blended by vapo)
Big L - Put It On (Verge Remix, reblended even better by vapo, not on og post)

My favorite line ever: "There's Only 50,000 Heads That Are True To This, The Rest Are Clueless To What Real Hip Hop Music Is"
ReplyDeleteYeah, that discogs listing just looks like somebody's CDR to me. The cover is clearly a scan of the 12" picture cover with the title removed. I'm surprised discogs let that one go up.
ReplyDeleteProps on cleaning up that terrible dub.
R.A. has always been R.A.
ReplyDeleteCrustified Dibbs was supposed to be him and Niles, but the name got attached to him as a soloist, so truly a bit of a misnomer.
R.A. is a true renaissance man, making movies, boxing historian, writer, mic skills...
Night of is not "classic" but I think looked at as an artifact from that era (plus seemingly/rumored production from Niles, Buckwild, E. Sermon), it's worth (at least) a listen.
man this album is dope idk what you talking about... thanks for that...
ReplyDeleteI'm glad heads stopped by and appreciated this. For me, it was one of those situations where you have a friend who refuses to listen to what you recommend but always forces some off the wall shit on your ears. He kept telling me I had to check out the single, it was the greatest shit ever. So, I finally did cop the cassette single for 'Bloodshed Hua Hoo' and didn't really like it. But then I heard 'Every Record Label Sucks Dick' on Stretch & Bobbito and gave him another chance.
ReplyDeleteI regress, I shouldn't have said it was a bad album. It's just on some other otherness. I'm a fan of R.A. and have always checked for and enjoyed his music. Everybody should at least give this a listen. Thanks for the info jowhite and Werner.
I did not know this info... Thank you.
ReplyDeletedid vaporized fully remaster this? because toolbox murderer is really the song statchy and the song tool box murderer in not in the remasterd album
ReplyDelete@anonymous- I remember vaporized saying something about not including the skits or something like that. I'll have to look into this. Thanks for the heads up.
ReplyDeleteBloodshed Hua Hoo is still very poor quality on this though, it's a shame as it's one of the best nod your head tunes that I used to listen to.
