Just dug-out this blend tape that I put together around 2002 with the help of a DJ friend of mine – a tribute to the most offensive ignorant rap ever pressed to vinyl. Sure to upset anybody within earshot. Unkut Dot Com and DJ J-Red Present: The Tribute To Ignorance Blend Tape

T La Rock Interview Pt. 2 – The Lost Tapes
Continuing my talk with “Super Rapper” T La Rock, we discuss the origins of his name, working with Mantronik, bootleggers and unreleased recordings. T is currently developing a biopic called ‘The T La Rock Story’ with “a very powerful producer from Hollywood” named Bonnie Timmerman (who was the Casting Director on Man On Fire, Carlito’s…
Tony Bones Interview
“…three drinks later she was damn near Pam Grier maybe my imagination or the black and tan beer.” – Tony Bones on “Splashin Over Monica” Hailing from Edmonton, North London, but calling New York home since before he was a teenager, Tony Bones has made noise in the rap game both as an underground vocalist…
Jay-Z Wins The First Annual “Fuckouttahere” Award
Jay-Z takes a call from Marley Marl on Ed Lover’s radio show Listening to Jay get interviewed these days is like watching Meet The Press or some shit – a whole lotta spin. But who actually believes that he would’ve used a Marley Marl beat on Kingdom Come? As far as the other comments, let…
KRS-One – Hip-Hop Sucks Because of You!
Here’s the debut post from new Unkut.com contributor, Kool Kim of the UMC’s: KRS-One is a FUCKING LIAR. Word is bond, I was there. Not only was I there, I was the person that INTRODUCED PM Dawn on stage. I was standing there at the back of the stage flirting with their dancers WORD, this…
Lost Ultra Tracks Part 2 – Clear Versions
Just when you thought the Ced Gee Special was over and done, I received a little something in my inbox from a guy calling himself Tim Frog. He sent me versions of the unrelesed mixes of “MC Champions” (sadly it cuts out before MC James gets on) and “Message From The Boss” that are a…
Kid Capri – Mixtape King
Kid Capri‘s 10/09/89 is regarded as one of the best hip-hop mixtapes ever made, up there with Doo Wop‘s ’95 Live, Mister Cee‘s Best of Biggie and Tony Touch‘s 50 MC’s. The intro killed it with the Stephanie Mills acapella blended with “Impeach The President”, which I’m assuming inspired Ron G to take it to…
T La Rock – Live In ’85
Throwing big words around has become a trend in recent years, as new jack rappers – lacking in flow, breath control and any kind of style in general – attempt to distract listeners. It wasn’t always that way though. There was a time when T La Rock and the Treacherous Three made a name for…
Doo Wop’s ’95 Live Intro
To celebrate the new improved look of this site, here’s one of the finest moments ever to grace a mixtape – the intro to Doo Wop‘s ’95 Live. By extending the usual “couple of guests at the start of the tape” routine, Da Bounce Master assembled an all-star cast of New York’s finest to rock…
Jay-Z – Interview and Freestyle (1996)
Continuing the throw-back interviews from my tape vaults, today’s session features an excited Jay-Z as he chops it up with Westwood, shortly before the release of Reasonable Doubt. A lotta memories on this one – remember when Hov was talking about “this is gonna be my only album”? Speaking of broken promises, right after Ice…
Jedi Son of Spock Interview
Written by Keir Johnson Jedi Son of Spock first came to light in the mid 90’s with the underground group known as The House Of Reps. The House of Reps to this day remain by and large a mystery due to their low profile insurgence of freestyle mastery and open-mic ascendancy. As a member of…
“Aiight…Boom…You knawmean?” – Ghostface & Cappadonna Interview (1996)
On the same night as Jeru was puffin’ a little somethin’ with Westwood, Ghostface and Cappadonna swung through the Radio 1 studios to talk about Ironman. The bad news is that the tape runs out just when things are getting interesting, but before that there’s still plenty of quality Starks quotes. Your man Cappa even…
