Just threw on an old compilation Quannum Spectrum from 1999 and it's top to bottom amazing. The beat that rolls into the opener with J5 is incredible and I forgot how great a track Storm Warning was.

Been enjoying that new Thirstin Howl III remix album. Underrated rapper from that era I think.

lotsa good ones in here since my last visit. love that SoM! although imo sadat x should be talib kweli status by now. the dude has displayed too many instances of ignorance to be given a pass any longer.

ums thank you for the post re:bo$$. didn't realize she was og from detroit! found this in the tmz news piece about her-
DJ Premier also weighed in, praising Bo$$ as a talented legend, and made a public plea for Def Jam to release a collab he'd recorded with her in 1993.
i'd like to join our friend mr. martin in his plea to def jam. unreleased 93 premier beats, are you kidding!!??

Has anyone done this for Immobilarity?
― President Keyes, Wednesday, 3 April 2024 00:51 (three weeks ago) link
yeah, these will always be worthwhile imo.
i used to do whole sets on blend tapes like that ― i had an outkast ep produced by havoc, pharcyde produced by dj premier, yvette michele singing over "waterfalls", etc. etc. ofc back then, it was limited to whatever accapellas would show up on singles. i have firm opinions re:the validity of tge fan/dj made blend/remix.

i know next to nothing about mr. bigg. he was from alabama, had a diamond in his eye. "trial time" was a surprise minor sensation of two decades ago now. he sold "poppin my collar" to dj paul. dead almost nine years. i can't say much more. i never heard much apart from "trial time." "traffic king" sounds familiar. i never heard "time served," the celebratory conclusion to "trial time," until earlier tonight. a good use of his voice.

some old school conscious stuff...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqoXM7BX3QIthe basement khemist - "everybody (l.i.f.e.)"(1998) prod. by dj spinna!
― interstellar anthropologist+music philosopher, (Austin), Wednesday, 24 April 2024 18:35 (three days ago) link
on an alternate timeline, Spinna is part of the production team on Beats, Rhymes & Life and it's a 9/10. I do love that Basement Khemist record, but on the whole, wayyyy too many of his beats went to lackluster MCs. What coulda been!
this one is lovely too

― anza808, Wednesday, 24 April 2024 22:47 (three days ago) link
yeah, some of spinna's old beat tapes from the 90s are on spotify. definitely in the right line. oddly the compositions albums aren't on streaming. some really dreamy samples on that stuff.
