Blend Tapes

     A few of the good blend tapes making the rounds at the moment. Check the descriptions in the videos if you are interested in high quality downloads of these projects. You don't have to listen to bad music unless you want to.

   'The Don Premier Album' from Dj A-OK blends 2Pac vocals with the east coast hip hop soundscapes of Dj Premier. This is an excellent project resulting in tracks that are more interesting than the originals. A great introduction to Dj Premier beats if you're not familiar.

     Dj Filthyrich puts the Wu Tang up against A Tribe Called Quest for a blend session called 'A Tribe Called Wu'. Wu Tang lyrics and ATCQ beats, this project is doper than you are anticipating.  'Da Mystery of Electric Relaxation' starts the session.

     2 Chainz is given that authentic hip hop sound via a Wu Tang upgrade from Dj A-OK. The usual I'm in it for the money and fake titty type beats are finally given a rest. One of the biggest problems with a lot of rappers is a lack of consistent good taste in beat selection. Dj A-OK nails it for them every time.

Friday Freestyle Report 04 Bars and Blunts

       The cats over at 'Bars On I-95' have come through two weeks in a row with exceptional female talent. Ms. Hustle runs with the baton Lady Luck passed off last week as A.B. and Cease continue curating what will one day be a legendary list of freestyle performances. Ms.Hustle is hard and brings to the table an aggressiveness that is not present in a lot of male emcees. Ms Hustle is right at home on the home of the heavy spitters. I would have liked to hear a little bit more from her.   'Bars On I-95'...Thank you for this one. This one impressed with instant classic status. Other female emcees would be wise to take a lot of notes here. Any emcee in general could learn something here. Now I'm wondering if the rest of that Fred The Godson will be better than this. I don't think it will be. This is Lady London spitting all bars and no bullshit on 'Bars On I-95' home of the heavy talkers and she fit right in. I didn't know Lady London would be t...

So you want to be a Dj?

     Even today in 2018 it still seems like everyone wants to be a dj. Some truly want to study the craft and become part of the culture while a large portion of these alleged knowledge seekers are infatuated with money, fame and potential affection from women with poor judgement in men and bad taste in music.

During the course students use turntables and vinyl to learn the fundamentals of mixing, scratching and beat juggling. With only twelve student per class each semester you are damn near getting one on one time with one of the most respected and experienced turntablist on the planet. If you are like me and desire to battle then this right here might be exactly what you are look...
