Long shot here, but worth a try. Does anyone have a rip of Melle Mel's 'Mama' promo single from 1997? I would really appreciate this.

err sorry, was one of those terrible phone messages where I can't be arsed to make it coherent. what I meant was, it's sounding a little rough round the edges - I'm not sure if it's the quality of the unreleased tunes, or if it's just a questionable copy. I was asking if anyone would like to poke a...

I posted a request in the videos section about a year ago, for two documentaries which were done in the 90s about Brooklyn, by some of the Shadez of Brooklyn crew. I don't think this is off topic in this thread, but I saw this recently on youtube : WzUSVVco-OA and this other snipppet: HZTX4BNCh80 Qu...

Intelligent Hoodlum Grand Groove, Grand Groove remix, Masta Ace Take a Look Around intro and Other Side of Town. Non are less known though.

Could someone up the Jewelz Insts lp? Or Million Endiana Jonez?

All those things are far more important, and congratulations.

Hey Shadow....the project is coming along very slowly, as I'm currently on a job search. The bright side is that I've finally finished making my party breaks, so I should be ready to start recording soon when I find the time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl" onclick="window.open(this.href);...

I had read somewhere else that Fat Joe stepped to Ace over the verse about the "Puerto Rican Latin chico Rico Suave" on Jeepassnigguhz. But maybe there were several reasons. Yeah the story is different depending on the interviews referenced, the one you quoted was what I presumed it was about but t...

Does anybody have an instrumental of the Tragedy track, 'Milk Murder Tribute', produced by Alchemist? If one even exists, I'd appreciate it.

Dunno if Mic Geronimo's The Natural is too popular for this? I'd add Pop Da Brown Hornet's Underground Emperor - it's quite a consistent LP. Maybe AZ's Pieces of A Man. O.C.'s Jewelz although that's definitely very popular.

Is there any version of a Nore funk flex freestyle out there where he's rhyming over Raekwon's Ice Cream beat, saying stuff like 'Pumping the Bridge is Over'?

It was probably around 1998 or 1999. I've been looking for that one for years.

Thanks very muchly.

The album featured Kool G Rap who moved to Phoenix where he recorded his "Roots of Evil" album.. That's awesome info man! im never heard that he lived in Phoenix What's interesting about this is that his feature for Nutmeg was released in '95. That's when, as far as I know, he was still in NY and p...

Thanks cuz.

The flood stories go on and on. I don't know if I believe half of them. Can't really imagine Ironman being much better, Raekwon tried to convince him to make another crime lp as a sequel but Ghost switched it. I played it too much back then. I also know some very critical people and they all loved i...

so it's revisionist thinking even though thats been my opinion since those albums dropped, the drop in quality to me was obvious. excuse my refined palette You're entirely entitled to your opinion, I didn't mean to sound critical of your opinion. I hate a lot of albums that people love and I don't ...

That's revisionist thinking, people were playing Ironman for months. People I knew, at least. Personally, I feel Hell on Earth is not as good as Infamous but it was extremely popular at the time. The best parts of HOE are still amazing, though. With both Ironman and HOE it's just a change in product...

After Petestrumentals?? Semi joking.

Does anyone have copies of Kris Ex(??) interviewing Nas for the It Was Written release? Two versions of the interview appeared- a short one in the Source and a much longer one in europes HHC mag. I don't suppose you remember who was on the cover that issue? I have a bunch off HHC's from around that...

Never should have thrown all mine away.

yeah man, i'd love to hear that. I remember seeing an ad for it in a magazine way back. I remember hearing two different versions of that - I think, both were tape rips probably the same one renamed. Can't remember it, thinking Father Time sounded ever so slightly different. The audio quality was b...

Thanks for the Mega help guys. I'm certain my browser hasn't took anything from the site but I'll check all the advice.

How come Mega links never work for me? They go to 100% on a timer and that's it. Can you post a screen grab/capture? For me (Mac user, Firefox browser), Mega is by far the easiest file sharing site to use. Without posting a link to a screen grab, i click on download, it goes to 1-100 % on the scree...

Also, if anybody has a scan from Touch magazine of Mobb Deep's interview in issue one, if at all possible.

One of those songs that I heard once on underground NYC radio in the 90's and haven't heard or found since: I remember hearing a Diamond D song on WKCR close to the time when Haterd, Passion and Infidelity came out but didn't make the album and I haven't seen it come out otherwise. Hopefully anothe...

Thanks again, cant listen now but the Jade / Onyx thing sounds interesting at the very least.

Does anyone know the name of the two documentaries on Brooklyn made by some guys affiliated with Shadez of Brooklyn, between 1996 and 1998? Or how to find the docus online? One of them was a rapper named Jackpot I think. In the first one they were chilling with a kid called Trees or something, he sm...

Thanks for this.

If it's not due to legal issues I think plenty of media firms look to tailor releases for a local market. They get it badly wrong a lot of the time. They also release extremely hard to find versions of films and music in Japan or other foreign markets and there isn't much logic or sense to how they ...

Has anybody ever heard of a track by Mobb Deep called "Crime Pays"?? If it exists, it was most likely made in late 1996 or 1997. I found the following bit of info on the net... From the B-side of the Mobb Deep's "Crime Pays" single... Now doesn't this sound like it's about 2pac: "you tried to test ...
