ATCQ-Practice Session (Demo Mix) I was listening to this Radio Show -- http://www.beatsinspace.net/playlists/555 -- and the DJs closed their mix with a track I'd never heard of. It's labeled "Tribe Called Quest - Practice Session (Demo Mix)" and they credit it to Q-Tip, J. Dilla, and Ali Shaheed Mu...

Anyone dig Wooden Shjips? Kind of of slurry psychedelic San Fran band that would seem to fit in here. Anyway, I just discovered them and found a few live sets on this page:

Wondering what are the best albums to checkout, preferably as LPs.

Melle Mel was high on coke when he recorded "White Lines"

dope. thanks.

Is video supposed to be a tribute to Mortal Kombat?

Thanks for the link to the Fuzzy Jones flip, though. I'm actually surprised producers don't lift more dancehall for rap hooks. Following A Milli, figured everyone would be jocking it.

Begrudging props to Kanye, I suppose.

House Shoes' debut LP drops the following week. Gotta keep the name fresh, yo. But honestly, I didn't even know other people knew who he was.

As for rapping over Dilla beats, it's better than beyond-the-grave BIG/Pac cameos.

Can't start a new thread, but wondering what you guys think of this. Who stores their junkmail? http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20120425/ENT04/204250423?fb_ref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.detroitnews.com%2Farticle%2F20120425%2FENT04%2F204250423%2FRoyal-Oak-store-selling-records-said-from-Dilla-s-personal-co...

White guys with diplomas insist it was Bob Dylan.

An internet-famous rapper. Imagine that.

Next up: answering machines.

Pretty dated references for a San Fransisco music writer.

I think this is a golden era for instrumental hip-hop, especially with everything coming out of Brainfeeder in Los Angeles. Although, perhaps in his defense, I've never been to a Cali beats show that wasn't a haze of weed smoke.

Didn't they storm off a couple stages at SXSW, too?

Seems like it's all about the buzz.

Can't hear the song, don't know who this is, but I support rappers smoking DMT.

This thread is not chill.

Really great mix, thank you.

Do you have Volumes 1-4?

So what's the consensus on Public Enemy?

Was this recorded before or after jail?

This was a really good mix. Thank you.

Dedication 2 may have jacked a few beats, but it was a cohesive album that was given a commercial release and wound up on many critics' Best Of lists. Other albums may have been more artistic, but this was a game-changer and had more impact than 90 percent of the discs in this thread. And the final ...

Good albums in this thread.

But Dedication 2 is still better.

Funny, you could bootleg the fuck out of it in China.

YUSS. that shit is banging. The mix Gas Lamp Killer did was nice too.

Agreed.

GLK has been bringing it hard in '08.

Another Madlib and PB Wolf mix. Don't know the lineage but it says it's from Manchester, U.K.

I was just checking out what I had for tradeable Madlib. This is Lib and Peanut Butter Wolf throwing down a DJ set, 7-3-04, for PS 1 Warmup. If you like this sort of thing, give it a listen. (Right click to save, left click to stream.) http://ps1.el.net/media/archive/mp3/sbmwup_madlib_pbwolf_pt1.mp3...

hmm....never tried.

I been around this site for a minute now, and it just struck me how little I read Madlib's name. I saw Madvillian made the Album of the Decade tournament, which was warranted, but I think I'm too dumb to figure out how well it did. Still, I thought Jaylib Champion Sound was better, and I still liste...

Oh, I always wondered why Jay-Z didn't wear tight jeans. This clears things up.

Ditka.

Coca-Cola purchased Vitamin Water in '07. Fiddy made bank.
