I was definitely more into the West Coast sound in my early days of listening to Hip Hop, and save for the obvious tracks I didn't really get into the Large Pro/DITC/Premier side of things until the mid 90s. Will the trend for rappers with whiny/high pitched voices ever go away?Īt what point will people stop buying 7" vinyl versions of rap songs they already own?Ĭan anyone out there hook me up with copies (digital or otherwise) of the Rocafella Mixtape Volume 2 or Clark Kent's Lafayette 7th Anniversary mix ?įinally why is it I haven't listened to the new Tribe album (or the De La one for that matter) but have played this 4 times today after having it stuck in my head for the last 24 hours? Also, given how many times Raekwon had reference The Donald in his lyrics, do you think he was a bit put out Trump ended up on Meth's album instead? How badly was Donald Trump anticipating Method Man's second album and how did he think it compared to Tical? Personally I was a bit disappointed at the time although listening back to it recently there's a handful of decent tracks.
Who is the English bloke sampled at the beginning of ' Skills' by Gang Starr ? Why doesn't the normal album version of De La's 'Eye Know' exist on 12"? While we're on the subject of jackin for beats, has anyone mentioned the similarity between Blackstreet's 'No Diggity' beat (1996) and Smoothe Da Hustler's 'Broken Language' (1995) ? Specfically the 'dun-da-da-da-dun-dun'. Check it.ĭid Dizzee Rascal jack the chorus for Dance Wiv Me from DJ Cam & Afu Ra's 'Voodoo Child' ? If so would that be the strangest example of pop sourcing inspiration from underground rap since Jamie Redknapp's missus went in over the Wu's Shame On A Nuh instrumental? Simple but dope.īONUS! Nes over at Dirty Waters posted this Best of 1990 set Mr Thing performed on The Funhouse from a couple of years ago. Neither of these trump my personal favourite however, when he was playing KRS 'Outta Here', and when it got to 'Some years went by I signed myself into a group home' he dropped in Livin Proof. On this occasion it's The Biznizz into Resurrection and Shadowboxing into You Know My Steez. There's a couple of occasions on this mix where Thing does his 'switch into a track that references/samples the one that's playing' trick.
Hopefully all will become clear now it's been shared. I have a feeling I was told it was recorded off Radio 1 but there's no talking or drops so I couldn't say for certain. It was labelled as a Scratch Perverts mix but the intro makes it clear its Mr Thing on the set, although maybe another SP member joins in later. I've had this on the hard drive for a while after someone ( completely forget who cheers Mat!) sent it to me a few years back.
