Thanks for the Stretch and Bob Hectic.

Anyone got Havoc's Survival of the Fittest Remix (below) or the Infamous re-release?

Funky as hell!

Thanks for the freestyles step. Never heard that Beatnuts remix, pretty dope!

Admiral, thanks for the comp. Do you or anyone else have the Infamous re-release? Seem to have lost it.

Any Infamous-era stuff would be especially appreciated.

Anyone have the full 1994 Stretch & Bobbito with Mobb Deep?

We lost a great today, time to start digging into the archives. Post your golden era Prodigy/Mobb Deep appearances and unreleased tracks here. This zip has Representin Queens from the Doo Wop's 95 Live, First Day of Spring with Tragedy Khadafi, Da Youngsta's Bloodshed and War, A+'s Gusto with Prodig...

Yeah maybe...what you got?

Ayo, I spliced together the Nas and Canibus versions of "Desperados" if anyone wants it. Someone get a higher quality Nas rip so we can really make this happen. Nas, Canibus, AZ, Nature - Desperado.mp3 - http://www69.zippyshare.com/v/p6YY99vn/file.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;...

Although I gotta say, Desperados doesn't hold up as well without Canibus on there.

Dope! Thanks Pradadon and Rich.

Was bumping Brand Nubian's Everything is Everything and remembered this thread.





Any other jams we've missed?

^Dope Bundy. Thanks.

Thank you good sir.

Love this fuckin sound! Props to the Jibs at the This Is For the Hustlers blog.

^Indeed! Dope.

This is major!

Thanks mud. Blend, just saw the second half of your post, you're looking for something a little different than most the stuff I posted. Always loved the 5 Fingas of Death beat. Pharoahe Monch's Simon Says seems like a good example of the kind of hyped orchestral beat you're after.

Does anyone know how to hide youtube videos, so that they don't take up so much space?

Strings/classical samples:
^Starts at :30

i'd probably call these dudes chicago's answer to wu-tang. Absolutely, I can see that. Can anyone recommend some dark orchestral-sample based beats like shabaz.the disciples death is the penalty - I really can't think of much to compare to death be the penalty, but this comes to mind: bm3O7p7y1R4 I...

Also, anything like the production on this Cenobites track would be super dope.

^Yeah it's too bad Ruberoom only really has that one track with that sound, I dig it.

Was going through Homeliss Derelix tracks earlier and I came across this one.




Very dope. Anything else like this?

The Heltah Skeltah joint reminds me of this:

Or these:

Would love to hear more stuff like this:

extra points if it's a chicago artist operating in that same era

Thought of this joint, dudes are from Chicago I do believe.

^Never heard that Millenium joint before, thanks Stam.

There may be another thread like this somewhere but I haven't come across it. The idea is someone posts a song or two with a sound they like, then someone else posts a song with a similar sound along with another song they want matched. Pretty simple, should be a good way to discover new music. To s...

^Yup.

Of course what immediately came to mind was Sally's Got a One Track Mind, but these too:

^Diggin the Nas-T Howie track. So I said this: Man, I would do just about anything for a cleaned up version of that Bridge 94 track. And now of course we have a HQ release via "The Infamous Sessions". And funny enough, I think I kind of prefer the lofi, hah. http://www54.zippyshare.com/v/37217154/fi...
