I've got a bootleg 12" for sale if you're wanting. Its the 'Underground Buttas' one with the Jac Swinga joint on the flip.

thanks man. Been enjoying your 'Soundclash' mix aswell recently

Classic track. One of the best (and hardest) beats Nas has rhymed on. The original was on the Bad Boy Volume 3 mixtape and had Cormega & Kamikaze on it.

Robbie @ Unkut breaks down the story behind the 3 versions here:

dope thread - gonna save me time ripping my vinyl!

Nas on Westwood's Capital Rap Show around the time Illmatic was about to drop. This is basically the 'Memory Lane' lyrics over 'Ikes Mood' with what sounds like some proper off the head rhymes at the end. nas - capital rap show freestyle.mp3 - 2.40MB (If anyone has a copy of the whole show from that...

Jazzy Jeff - Live At Union Square
DJ Premier In Deep Concentration
Dr Octagon/Q Bert - Bear Witness

dope album. had on tape at the time so the upload is appreciated!
got a couple fo 12@s (Deeper and Process Of Elminination) that I still dig out from time to time.

Def Jef is underrated as a producer - he definitely had some nice beats on this album too

its worth noting that a lot of artists could get a similar line up of producers but for reasons known only to themselves, wont.

i can probably hook up that Omniscence joint when I get home tonight

dudes alright. Watch How It Go Down and the remix both still get plays over here. He held hs own on that Stop Look And Listen joint of Statik Selektah's album aswell. Id rather listen to him than Saigon, Tru Life, Papoose or most of the other New New York lot that have yet to put out an album. Oh, a...

started going through all my Westwood/Funk Flex tapes and came across this from 1998. Finesse & Seis rhyming over 'Banned From TV' & 'John Blaze'.

Enjoy!

should have a few more bits coming soon

he had a track called 'Raw' with Saigon and Inspectah Deck a couple of years back that wasnt bad. havent heard anything else tho. didnt know about UM's name change. seems like a waste of 2 years building a buzz. Has it just occured to him that MTV & retail might not support an artist with that name?...

Coming soon... high quality uncensored version of the Rocksteady jam freestyle session including KRS One, Mad Lion, Grim Reaper, Fat Joe and Lord Finesse (the LOTUG diss) this would definitely be appreciated. I recorded it the night Westwood played it but the quality has suffered over the years. It...

I'll appreciate Hip Hop about any topic provided the rapper approaches it with a creative wordplay, a good flow or tries to put a different angle on it. I've got no problem with gangsta/hood/crack rap at all but most of the artists coming out right now arent doing much that hasnt already been done b...

- Does he feel like its almost a waste of time putting in effort to come with nice lyrics given that the standard of rhyming is so low right now? - Is Starkim (sp?) dropping anything anytime soon (that Sirius freestyle he dropped over Obies 'The Set Up' is fire!) - Does he get fed up with people ask...

I've got that Monch joint 'Never Walk Together' somewhere (albeit a tagged MP3) and its fucking heavy. Shame that LP never materialized

Dre & Cube 'Helter Skelter' (I dont think any of this ever even got recorded despite showing up on release schedules)

here you go mate:

im not feeling the new angry voice either. Sounds like he's trying to hard.
anyway, right now Joe Budden > Royce

he's just posted a Pete Rock mix from WBLS in 1989.

Dope mix. To download, go see Londons Finest, DJ MK:

there was a repress of Born To Roll a couple of years back that had Saturday Night Live on the flip. Delicious Vinyl credited it as a DJ Premier remix. No one seems to know why. I did hear it might be because he did the cuts on the track but Im not sure how true that is. Given that it says 'previous...

i'll try and get some of mine ripped and uploaded. The quality on some of them isnt too great though. I had a dope one of the Def Jam 10th Anniversary on Westwood's show with Method Man, Nelson George and Rusell Simmons in the studio. Then GZA and - of all people - Shaggy turns up! i'll see what i c...

thanks for thsi. I've still got all 4 90 min TDKs of the fri & sat night shows from this session. First time I heard Flex play Doin It, California Love and Woo Hah aswell

'Banned From TV' instrumental anyone?!

i've got this on tape some where from when Westwood played it.
Apparently it was pressed on some semi-official/bootleg 'Rocksteady Anniversary' vinyl

anyone got a decent quality copy of LP's 'Dancing Girl' ?

think was due to be on The LP but Ive only got bad quality tape rips and a Future Flavas TDK with it on

thanks for the Buju man!

heres another joint:
