[DJ Mix] DJ M-Rock – The Best of A Tribe Called Quest
From the T.dot-based dude who brought you the great Best of Kanye DJ mix (and a Nate Dogg one too!):
“I’m the biggest Tribe fan so it brings me a lot of pleasure to drop this mix. I haven’t followed their solo acts much, but I watched them like a hawk growing up. In fact, the first piece of music I personally got my own hands on was their first album from the public library. I can talk all day about this group, its emotional for me in fact, because my fav. genre is hip-hop and after midnight marauders, hip-hop split into underground and pop, and I found both styles were trying too hard. Slum Village for example were so gangsta lyrically that it wasn’t believable, and on the other hand, Jay-Z was the same thing. Plus, hustling and bitches are not interesting (Tribe talk about women instead). Both Slum and Jay were hot but as for vibe and lyricism, I’m a lower-middle class kid and other than musical skill, I didn’t relate deeply to any of this shit. However, I did relate to Tribe. Tribe’s music is honest, it doesn’t have commercial appeal and it succeeded because these brothers were close and very gifted, far from the average. They got paid as a group and didn’t fight over cheques. When they started falling off, the beats got mathematical and sample-free, they went soft as they brought J-Dilla in, who’s ironically one of the rawest producers ever. I can even hear Tip mentioning his friends during Phife’s verse in “1nce again”, an ignorant thing on his part, a lack of chemistry that was all over the last 2 albums. I relate to all of this because I fell off as a tablist, wasn’t a team player myself towards the end of that phase in my career. With that in mind, this mix is none of those wacker moments, it’s the straight rawness of Tribe, the group that wrote classic verses on the bus (buggin’ out) or kept verses from their childhood (Tip wrote Bonita at 14). Go watch the movie, by the way, it’s incredible. This mixtape took 3 weeks which is why M-Rock Mondays have been nothing, and now that it’s done, I hope you all really enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.”

[MP3] DJ Mister Cee’s ‘Adversity Mix’ on the Hot 97 Old School at Noon Show (4.4.11)
I think I said as much as I wanna say on Mister Cee’s situation on twitter last night. Combat Jack and Dallas Penn also got it about right on their radio show too. Time will tell whether Cee will address the situation head on himself but in the meantime, many think he spoke on it indirectly via the 1’s and 2’s on his ‘Old School at Noon’ throwback hip-hop mixshow on Hot 97 last Monday. Check it out and tell me if you agree:

[DJ Mix] Names You Can Trust Radio present B-Boy Bungaku
A mix of vintage Japanese hip-hop mixed by Monk-One and E’s E. Some background from Monk-One:
“I lived in Japan when I was a kid, graduated from high school there in fact. Though I haven’t been able to get back much in recent years (damn you, weak US$!) I still have big love for the land of the rising sun and its peeps. The recent devastation has my thoughts locked on Nihon, so my partner E’s E and myself decided to put together a mix of some of our favorite Japanese hip hop as a tribute and gesture of solidarity for our homies over there.
From one long island to another, I present to you B-Boy Bungaku, an hour’s worth of solid nipponese rap heat straight from the shelves of Cisco, Manhattan, DMR and other long-gone Shibuya record shops of the ’90s, mixed with love.”
