“After much thought, I’ve decided to take a bit of a break from giving my isolated commentary about what music should sound like in an ideal world and figured it would be best to give you an illustrated example. By popular demand, here’s a link to a downloadable mp3 version of the Hip Hop, Breaks and Sample mix that I did for Science Skateboards a little while back. If you want a preview, a streaming version is available at the Science website.

Hot rockin’ mix of one of my all time fave album’s source materials found over at Mixed Bizness.
“The one and only DJ Moneyshot has sent us this truly astonishingly amazing mixtape. To put it simply and in the words of the man himself ‘It’s a mega thrash through all the tunes that the Beastie Boys plundered for their Check Your Head album, looped, re-edited and blended right up by my good self.’ Only it’s not that simple. Something as finely crafted as this could never be so simple. It’s going out on Ninja Tune’s Solid Steel radio next month but we have the exclusive for you.

Essential collection of independent hip hop releases fawned over by frothing fan-boys from the always on point Uggh…Nice Watch.
“Making fun of modern day backpackers is definitely one of my favorite hobbies, but truth be told, I was obsessed with the original era of so-called “backpack rap” in the mid-to-late ’90s. At the same time that hip-hop’s bigger-than-life jiggy era was in full bloom, an alternative scene sprung up, centered around independent vinyl releases, lyrical experimentation and a rejection of “the industry.”
Most of these classic records were only issued on 12″ single in the years before file-sharing exploded, and as a result, many of these artists and songs have been forgotten. To me, the backpack era officially ended in 1999, when Eminem blew up and Funk Flex started playing Pharoahe Monch’s “Simon Says” on Hot97. I’ve compiled 40 of my favorite joints from the era for your listening pleasure.” – UNW
