let's poll mixtape dj drops

can't u believe u forgot this u herb (plz specify)

"where'd you find this? / "you can't find this on the internet"

whoo kid - whooookiiiid
green lantern - the eeevil geeenious / invasion! /
kay slay - drama KING! street sweeper!
dj clue! (clue!) (clue!) (clue!)
dj p-p-p-p-premier
clinton sparks - get familiar
funkmaster flex - bpchewerkkkshh (bomb exploding)
dj drama - gangsta grills u bastids! / random shouting
dj khaled - we the best

that's empire right?

really i just want to complie these on one place on the internet

for future generations

cool idea

not sure what to vote for, maybe whoooookiiiid

holiday season, ny-kuh

DAMN SON WHERE'D YA FIND THIS?

+

IT'S GANGSTA GRILLZ U BASSSSSSSSTIDS!!!
BARACK O'DRAMA
DRAM F KENNEDY
DRAM CRUISE

etc

a poll of dj drama aliases is a whole different thing

doo wop, kid capri, ron g, tony touch <--none of these had signature drops iirc? thred needz he1go

"random shouting"

i hate all of these

dj produce got that fruit

look this is obviously we the best and u r all insane

like this should have just been 5 poll options of we the best

DAMN SON WHERE'D YA FIND THIS? makes me lol basically every single time

you bastids

do Khaled mixtapes actually use "we the best" as a drop? i thought it was just a catchphrase he said irl/on tv etc.

i'm glad "HOLIDAY SEASON" isn't an option because that's the one time when it feels like the DJ is actually shouting at me and i just want to shield my ears or turn the volume down

10 minutes of DJ Khaled screaming madness. It's the Ace Won't Fold mixtape from Ace Hood without Ace - just DJ Khaled!

holiday & khaled, they the worst

kay slay does that unforgivable holiday thing of playing the actual music at a much lower level than his drops, but loads of his interjections have become part of the track for me, i can't deny it

i forgot the newjack buuuuuurn one, burn one which seem designed to be as well-timed and unintrusive as possible so nobody releases a no dj

listen to these tracks!

there's a local mixtape DJ who will like plug a website and then go "log on, faggot" and i'm like jesus are you really berating the listener?

who is the sports announcer sounding guy who says "REAL TRAP SHIT" on gucci's mixtapes?

rell

most days i quite like drama's euphoric chat and "gangsta (gangsta) (gangsta)" is mostly at least on beat

it's struck me as kinda funny how Lil Jon's voice is still all over tons of southern crunk/gangsta rap songs every year via the "gangsta grizz-illz" drop while the actual Lil Jon is mostly hanging with LMFAO or 3OH!3 or whoever

that's the dj, not sure if it's his voice?

spost

oh, me niether, sorry

i liked this little easter egg re drama & the terrace martin gangsta grillz

While the unmixed version is a lot more useful for DJing, I got a huge smile from one moment on the other version, when DJ Drama shouts out Reggie Andrews.

Reggie Andrews is an L.A. pianist who was a music instructor at Locke High for almost 40 years, from its opening in 1969 until shortly after its recent takeover as a charter school (the latter was subject of a good recent New Yorker article).

Andrews mentored some tremendous talent there, from Terrace Martin and members of the Pharcyde to school-band prodigies like Patrice Rushen and Ndugu Chancler, cutting a couple of obscure and extremely collectible records with Locke school bands in the process. In his spare time, Andrews also produced a number of commercially successful records, including several for Patrice Rushen and the Dazz Band's huge hit, "Let It Whip".

Back in April, my homeboy Jonny from Good Records NYC posted a pre-Locke High album by Andrews over at his blog. The album, Mystic Beauty, is gorgeous, with great compositions and gentle Latin vibe throughout. I recommend heading over there to snatch it pronto (plus other amazing treats, like the Brief Encounter LP). I believe Jonny has an online shop coming to the site soon, but in the meantime if you pass through the Lower East Side, I highly recommend a stop at his storefront on E. 5th between 2nd & 3rd

i read someone say abt this that their new fav mixtape dj was avs media demo

i feel like distinctive drops are almost a thing of the past, ppl just expect no dj versions now

like when i heard my friend playing the dj skee tagged southerngastaboxframecadillacmuzik i was just like "lol"

DJ Jabril's famous drop, "xx xxxxxxx, Government Names."

johnny from good records nyc is a soulstrut regular

DJ Jabril's famous drop, "xx xxxxxxx, Government Names."

2nd place for:

IT'S HOLIDAY SEASON, YOU SHRIIIIMPS!

can't believe u forgot "you are now listening to...YOUR WIFEY'S FAVORITE DJ" u herb

^^^^

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

wait, how did we get this far without

still gotta go w/ your wifey's fav dj

LISTEN TO THIS TRACK, BITCH

that's a producer drop i guess but still

i love that it wasn't enough for drumma boy to sneakily work the same sound effect into all of his songs so he decided to have a voice go LISTEN TO THIS TRACK, BITCH at the beginning of them too

I think Cannon is even ahead of Trapaholics for me.

listen to these tracks!

lol @ "get familiar" getting a vote. does clinton sparks lurk here?

producer drops seem kinda new in rap, maybe bc of "if u don't want your producer all over your track come to death row" & i remember jazze pha getting bodied for same at this century's start. "it's a big e beat" & of course

spring to mind. in uk funky they are doing this too: illblu has mixed sparks and clue, a kid's voice saying his name with on-beat reverb. (lex hates these too)

actually it's some other dude who has the kid voice iirc

"hey drew!" ^

"hey drew!" gets stuck in my head so often -- thank god i don't currently have any drews in my world of young ppl

i love producer drops because you don't have to go on to the internet to find out who produced what

otm

except dj fresh uses his drops on his tapes whether stuff is produced by hiim or not :-/

"dj love dinero" making a VERY STRONG entry on the new gucci mixtape

i think there's an inversion of based god on "hell yea" -- "my girlfriend think she president bush, bitch"

empire mixtapes

NOT FOR THE WEAKHEARTED

thought we got that one, duh it was trapaholics

blockbeaters

in this b-word? a producer drop surely

oh sorry

I get them confused sometimes

yeah we were discussing them upthread, p similar
