A funny thing happened today. I found myself in the precarious (although not altogether unwelcome) position of having to recant my previous hardline stance involving the combination of rapping and live instruments at shows. Following on from the underwhelming Mobb Deep reunion of 2011 and the slightly less unfortunate 50 Cent show, I was utterly…
This edition is a lot better than the last one in terms of the track listing… Reezy Rez sez:
This old November 1994 to October 1995 bullshit really makes this more difficult than it should be. GZA’s album might be on the border who cares at this stage. The Meth, Redman and Keith Murray albums were all enjoyable enough back then but I’d rather revisit these fifteen long players if I had the choice….
Courtesy of the comment section of the last post, here are twenty rap soundtrack songs that never got commercially released as singles at the time…with a limit of one track per movie. Download: A Salute To Soundtrack Songs That Weren’t Singles Track listing:
Reezy Re just can’t seem to hold it back, much like a young Kevin Madison.
No idea how this one slipped past me for the twenty two years. Produced by Jae Supreme.
Here’s a long-overdue tribute to Craig Mack, who left this mortal coil back in March at age 47. The Mack Attack has the distinction of being the only rapper dude to release music on both the legendary FRESH/Sleepi8ng Bag label and The House That Puff Built while never having to adjust his rhyme style too…
This dropped a week ago: Reezy Re sez: This is The Source Magazine Fat Tape for May 1992 … As its May i went with a May tape.
Couldn’t find the original mag although I’m sure I have it somewhere so enjoy the world’s smallest JPEG. November 1993 to October 1994: 01) The Beatnuts – Street Level 02) Nas – Illmatic 03) A Tribe Called Quest – Midnight Marauders 04) Organized Konfusion – Stress: The Extinction Agenda 05) Notorious B.I.G. – Ready to…
At this point, it’s becoming clear that The Source Mind Squad are beginning to lose their cot damn minds. I understand that they wanted to reflect their rapidly broadening readership by catering to the entire spectrum of regional rap…but some of these selections are just baffling with the benefit of hindsight. And thanks to their…
‘You wot, mate?!’ In the spirit of eighties Answer Rap, here’s my list of alternative’s to the Martinator’s 80’s Rap 101 list. I’ve stuck to his original list of artist’s (except for a few who only had one record…or one good record) and presented an alternative to each to demonstrate just how great the best…
Thanks to Reezy Re for putting together this tape based on The Source‘s Fat Tape playlist for May 1991.
