Today it is about crews I can’t tell you much more than what’s written on the respective label as they’re that obscure google & co. surrendered (or only lead to the entries in VA that Phil or I did…). Anyway. Let’s start this with the first one for today that is titled 5000 HOODZ FT THE WOODZMEN.
Now to the Woodzmen I can tell u that they dropped a great 12” in the mid90s. If u wanna know more bout that I recommend you to check the review on Vinyl Addicts.Now this is the second one (soundwise) most probably released after that (guess late 90s) and the Woodzmen have here a feature part whereas 5000 Hoodz is supposed to be the main act. The record was kicked out on Phenom Ent., a label I never heard before as well. On the a-side you find the anti-gangster anthem “cop a feel” (quote: “the only muthafuckin real gangsters is 6ft under!”…nuff said!). when I first listened to this track I was like “OK but not that mind-blowing” but since I listened to for several times now I need to admit that I somehow grew on that track. The flipside brings you the very smooth (maybe sometimes it even sounds lil corny!?) “war of the world” that is bout the disproportion of poor n rich people.

pawel

as mentioned in the review I have no clue when this record came out.
pz!
a few days ago i heard a
woodzmen track on youtube
and then i saw on your
backgroundcover a woodzmen vinyl
too.
so decided to give it a listen.
and it was worth.... ;)
"cop a feel" is daaaaamn nice.
its right, you cant find anything
in the net about it.
what a bummer
im not sure why more people haven't commented this wax, it is one of the best i've ever heard.
the track "War of the World" is VERY DEEP & the more you listen to it & dig around abit on nwo/illuminate/WHO etc the more you start to wonder how these guys could know about all of this.
anyone got any more info on woodzmen & 5,000 hoodz? i know woodzmen dropped some other hard to find wax & i got that one but tbh i've slept abit on 5,000 headz.
i read somewhere that this was from 1993-1994 but I have VERY hard to trust that source, doesn't sound like 93-94, more like 96-98 but i need to know anyway!!!!
pz!
