Jay Swing - High Top Fades & Fat Gold Chains (Mixtape)

I set out to make a tape full of new shit, but for whatever reason this was the outcome. Fuck it, I like EPMD, Public Enemy, and Big Daddy Kane more than Drake, Rick Ross, and Juicy J. Don't get me wrong, when I'm drunk at the club there is nothing else I want to hear more than that new 2Chainz record, but for every other moment of my life I'm good with Eric B & Rakim.

I'd post the track list for this mix but I find that it is best served cold. No song titles, just a bunch of records that make me think of High Top Fades & Fat Gold Chains when I play them. The years covered are '87, '88, '89, '90, and '91. New Jacks be warned though, none of these songs come with a trendy dance attached to them but you can dance to all of them. Nothing but fast Rap (the beats, not the raps). Enjoy.

Best Of Beastie Boys Live Mix

This came to me via Twitter from the homie Jeff at BOOOOOOOM.

I put this mix together from some of some of my favourite live performances by Beastie Boys. I wanted to include ‘Somethings Got to Give’ specifically because MCA used to always preface it by talking about non-violence so when I think of him I think of this song.Turn this up LOUD, and put two fingers in the air for MCA.R.I.P.

Rap Treats #69: Dr. Dre - Mix Tapes (1985-1989)

Here are a bunch of Rap Treats from the motherfuckin' Dr. Dre. They are the mix tapes that Dre did from 1985 to 1989 including the 5 tapes he did for the Rodium Swap Meet. We actually posted a few of these before, but I figured all the tapes on one post makes more sense. These tapes are dope. Every song on them is big and Dre went off on the mix. It sounds like he used an 8 track because most of these, especially the Rodium tapes, are the definition of a megamix. On top of that, Dre also jumps on the mic and gets Eazy-E and Ice Cube to rock some intros. The crazy thing to me is that Dre's career was in full effect when he was making these (first with the World Class Wrecking Crew and then with N.W.A.). It's dope to me that Dre still has the itch to put out mix tapes when N.W.A. was changing the rap game and getting the feds excited. Remember, these are Mix Tapes. Which means they were recorded off cassette tapes so embrace the hiss and take them for what they are - a slice of history.

Rap Treats #65: Bad Boy Mixtapes Vol. 1-4 (1995/96)

These are Volumes 1-4 of the Bad Boy mix tapes that came out in the mid 90's. This was the era when mixtapes were actually mixed on cassette tapes (I still can't use the term "Mix CD"). Before the internet was poppin, this was the place to get exclusive freestyles and all the newest Bad Boy records from BIGGIE, Craig Mack, The Lox, 112 and anything Bad Boy. They also had all the hottest records of the day, not just Bad Boy joints. Add to that they are hosted by Puff Daddy and mixed by the hottest DJs in NYC at the time and these are classics tapes.

Rap Treats #32: Dr. Dre "86 In The Mix" Mixtape

In the past we've posted Dr. Dre's "U Got Ganked" mixtape, Eazy-E & Dr. Dre's "Live At The Rodium Swapmeet" mixtape, and N.W.A.'s "Live At Celebrity Arena" concert from 1989. This is pretty much the last of the mid 80's Dr. Dre mixtapes/megamixes that I have so enjoy. This is the no cassette tape hiss version that I haven't seen around Internetland yet. Enjoy!

Rap Treats #8: Dr. Dre "U Got Ganked" (Mixtape)

This is Dr. Dre's "U Got Ganked" mixtape from 1987. It's in 2 parts, sides A and B, because it was recorded off a cassette tape. This tape was made for some dude named Steve who sold mixtapes at the Rodium Swap Meet (Dre even busts a freestyle about him at the beginning of side B). The music on here is straight classic material as Dre cuts up future anthems by EPMD, MC Lyte, Public Enemy, BDP, Doug E. Fresh, Biz Markie, Kool Moe Dee, Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, Too Short, King Tee and of course NWA.
