98. there's quite a few albums from 98 in my collection. from 99 I can hardly think of any. Nas dropped the double strength turd-bomb of Am/Nastradamus, and I've always thought Mobb's Murda Muzik was horrible. synthy half assed beats that sound like they were put together by an epileptic on downers ...

Nice. didn't expect to see something like this emerge, will definitely cop

one very chilled Awakening era beat not included here is Enchanted. for anyone that doesn't have it: https://www.mediafire.com/?6x6lpgu3fdykk9y" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

an attempt to flesh out the 'Life Is Like A Dice Game' beat into something resembling a full track instead of just half a verse and whatever, using the Life Is What You Make It acapella

thought this was worth a shot...

very chilled beats, liking it. not sure why I slept on this...

oh, it's this guy



that's done the rounds on some 'worst hip hop covers ever' lists, lol... I've never heard it tho

Nice article.

around 2010-ish I thought FLAC was about to overtake mp3's, but it never happened

Cool...I like these random album posts you do. Never heard of this one, liking some of the mellower beats. You never hear chilled beats from the south now, its always like the harshest synth noises. although whoever the producer was definitely loved that drum machine they had, its like every song ha...

thanks for this. a few jiggy sounding beats but that's standard for early 2000s... 'no more tears', 'bi-sexual' and the tracks with talib kweli and black thought are dope

Jane Doe-Introduction (Digi) do you mean this has this come out, digitally? I've always wanted to hear this one I was talking with some guy on soulseek a few years back who claimed he was in some crew called MAD VISIONZ hah, I was thinking about this again recently. still never come across any ment...

thanks step. been sleeping on your blog, some nice stuff up there. that kid capri hot 97 set is sick

thanks,wasn't sure about using that one cause there's not really any drums on the beat. seems to work though, glad you dig it

cheers, hope you enjoy it...

here's the split tracks for Side B if anyone want them: https://www.mediafire.com/?7ickz9sx3dbducw

excellent, thanks

thanks, glad you liked it. yeah I thought the Slam beat might be a bit hardcore and grimey for an rnb vocal but somehow it worked.

I'll upload the split tracks for this one later

no probs.

"SIDE B" added...

props for that j period link dirt. 'One Love (Original Q-Tip Mix)' made me do a double-take, but now I see he just means the Illmatic version as opposed to his blend after it. there's a few other bits I've not heard before on here though Vaporized, aren't you the one who actually made the official c...

that's 192kbps, no idea how to rip CDs any higher

thanks. that zhane beat on the gravediggaz one is pretty similar to bushwackas - caught up in the game, always liked it

big boss has sent me a bunch of his rnb acapellas so there'll be a 'side b' at some point of rnb vocals over hip hop beats, stay tuned...

Botany Boyz - thought of many wayz was a dope double album. shit goes hard as fuck yes. I'd possibly even say it's the best double rap album ever, although like all doubles it would've made an even better single disc. as far as release dates and concepts go, i think Esham beat everybody when he dro...

any chance you could re-up this in 64kbps for that authentic bootleg sound? :)

this is pretty good. expect your right about not having QD3 beats, none of them sound like his work. 'Mental' is the standout for me...

no prob, thanks for checking.


https://www.mediafire.com/?w8tqzb32cdcmc3t

there's the split tracks, sorry about the wait...

Nice, never heard of this.

wonder if there's any QD3 production on there, if it was Quincy Jones's label?

thanks Debonaire, appreciated.been jamming a mix of your remixes I found on mixcloud earlier by dj precise, top stuff Great blends as usual! I hope you'll up the split tracks, tho. :gyeah: How about doin' the r&b vocals over hip-hop beats? Cause I love that Brandy/Group Home joint you did and I'd lo...

thanks for the listens...

'Side B'... opposite of the first part, with some RnB vocals over Hip Hop beats. props to Big Boss Luciano for supplying all the acapellas http://i61.tinypic.com/2yy13ps.jpg Yvette Michele - Crazy (Heather B Blend) Gyrl - Get Your Groove On (Tribe Called Quest Blend) Sylvia Simone - I'm In Love (Bla...

Interesting stuff. I read that first Monche quote from the 'Making Of Stress...' interview the other day, but didn't see the other part where he mentions that he'd killed himself. shame...

stress remix, definitely

If that wasn't on the list then I probably couldn't choose between the rest
