I listened to this last night and its fucking solid! It's almost like getting 3 One Leg Up releases at once...

Here's what Peanut Butter had to say about this release:

"Not so sure about anything with these songs except for the fact that I made them while living with my mom in the early 90גs and almost all were recorded with the rappers rapping through headphones plugged straight into the DJ mixer. My original idea with this comp was to put stuff I did throughout the 90גs in honor of the 999 shows Iגm doing, but I just discovered SO MANY songs from this 3-year period that I made that the focus. I didnגt use compression on anyoneגs voice nor did I know what that was back then. Thatגs why the vocals are all over the place. Most songs didnגt have effects on the voices either. A lot of adding loops on top of other loops live, which made it sloppy.

At this point in my גrap music careerג, my goal was to make a גMarley Mahl In Control Of Thingsג type comp with all the rappers in San Jose I was meeting at the time. My situation was a lot different than Marleyגs though, mainly because he established a crew of rappers that all worked together (before Wutang) and most of the rappers I worked with never even met each other.

The fact that I put out a record with Lyrical Prophecy (Quiz One and Deshee) in 1989, made it easy for me to find MCs to record in San Jose. I was known as the גkid with the record outג, even though it didnגt really sell. I was also the only kid with a sampler besides King Shameek, but Shameek moved to New York. None of these גsongsג were really finished and definitely none were polished. They were all rough draft versions with the intention of going into a proper studio to re-record. The only rappers I really finished songs with and took to the studio back then were Quiz One and Charizma, but none of those songs are on here.

I think at that time, if I made a beat that a rapper liked and he had lyrics, Iגd record him over it to hear what it sounded like. Some of the beats were chosen by more than one group or artist, and Iגd try different guys over the same track. My idea to do this comp back in 1990 quickly got scrapped as I found myself working with Charizma more than anyone else and decided that he was the one I worked best with. We both had that slightly warped sense of humor. Plus, we both liked the Whirlwind pinball machine, so that sealed the deal."

I picked up the official CD at one of my local record stores a couple weeks ago. The Wolf himself dropped off some copies cuz he was up here visiting his parents. The album is fuckin GREAT!! R.I.P Charizma, who I went to High School with. Milpitas represent! I didn't know him though. I did know and was cool with The Architect (formerly G-Luv) of Homeliss Derilex (who I also went to HS with). Encore went to my HS as well, but he was a few years older.

I wouldn't mind uploading the "Straight To Tape" CD if anyone needs it...

Oh nice! I didn't see it @ Amoeba in SF the other week when I was there, but who knows. And I haven't been to Amoeba in Berkeley for about a month.

Not sure how many were pressed up though. I do know it's mostly being sold at shows...

I had no idea he was on the wake up show

Just finished listening, I love that early, early 90's sound and style of rhyming, that's a great find. My only complaint was the hiss on the recording, I had to turn down the high EQ a little on my iTunes to listen to the whole thing.

Thirteen · Post by **Thirteen** » Tue Dec 28, 2010 9:24 pm

So I found the Wake Up Show with Charizma on it
