Bay Area Quick Mix
First post in a minute, I know. I’ve been logging heavy hours at the record store I work at (mp3 blogger working at a record store? now I’ve heard it all…). But my ongoing business is indebted at least in part to the constant efort to stay on top of all the great music coming out on vinyl right now. And if you pay attention to the internets at all, you probably have borne witness to the all the horn-honking (and dumb-going) over Bay Area rap, especialy amongst post-collegiate Bay expatriates (and wanna-be expatriates, you know who you are). Anyway, noise has been made, opinions formulated, roofs danced atop of. If you’re not feeling this shit, hey, I’m sure we’ll have something different up tomorrow. I tossed this mix together real quick-like playing through a stack of new and not so new records from the soil where the rappers be getting their lingo from. Newness first, moving into some of the formative hyphy cuts (like, uh, “Hyphy,” for example. And also, uh, “Super Hyphy.” Recognize the redundancy). Stunna shades a must.
Tracklist:
San Quinn f/ EA-Ski- “Hell Yeah”
Mike Marshall f/ E-40- “Trying to Leave With Somethin”
Nump f/ Federation & E-40- “I Got Grapes”
E-40 f/ Keak the Sneak- “Tell Me When to Go”
Federation- “Go Dumb”
Federation f/ E-40- “Hyphy”
Keak the Sneak- “Super Hyphy”

Yo.
This is hot, nice work.
Every single track's beat in that mix sounds like the producer was studying "How to sound like Lil John , Just Blaze & The Neptunes….for DUMMIES". That is the problem w/ most hip-hop out nowadays(from ALL coasts). No originality or risk takers on the lyrics AND the beats.

Lovely stuff. Good to have you back dstill.
The reason "tell me when to go" sounds like it was produced by lil jon is becaus it is. Step your listening game up. The bay's on fire.
Gracias, DJ Bodegón
Just Blaze? Seriously?
Every track on there is as inventive/creative as a CBS sitcom.
would you prefer a prefuse mix? how about something off of project bored? *thizz face*
"my shit don't stink, smell like new money when I poop *ch-ching!*"
-cue laugh-track-
bay shit is strictly for us–which i love. i can't speak for everyone but i grew up in the bay and this shit seems to hit a vein in bay dudes. it represents an attitude that is prevalent and i can see how some cats think it corny but we don't got time to worry about them. for us by us.
this is hot dstill. what about a full length mix?
